ASSERTS
MAKE EFFECTIVE ITS
CLOSE-NIGHT' POWER
Judicial Committee Will
Reword and Consider
Plan Further.
Assorting its authority to pro
vide for reserving certain nights
exclusively for events of all stu
dent interest, the Student council
in its meeting Wednesday after
noon, discussed a report presented
by the student party committee
for making effective such action,
and referred its proposed rules to
the judiciary committee for re
wording and further consideration.
The rules as proposed by the
party committee, of which Chal
mers Graham is chairman, pro
vide that three months notice shall
1 given the council by any group
requesting a closed night. When
the council has closed a night, the
rules provided, written notification
shall be given every campus or
ganization and also published in
the Naily Nebraskan. Such notifi
cation shall be deemed sufficient
and shall be enforced thru the
office of the dean of women. Any
group acting in violation of coun
cil rulings and holding parties on
the night designated as closed
shall be subject to penalties im
posed by the council.
To Consider All Groups.
The judiciary committee was
requested to take into considera
tion the interests of all student
organizations and to allow for ex
ceptions where such exceptions
should not interfere with the gen
eral purposes of the closed night.
Also it was suggested the provi
sion should be made to allow clos
ing of nights within the three
months period under certain con
ditions. The council decided that if its
authority to close nights was ques
tioned, it must be challenged by
students and decided by the fa
tuity senate in accordance with
provisions of the council constitu

Home Ec Faculty
In 'Study of
The home economics faculty is
co-operating in sponsoring a new
class a study of the home, for
men. Each instructor has from two
to six lectures on subjects varying
from child care to home decora
tion. .
Miss Metzger, design instructor,
started the class with six lectures
on home beautifying.
"Men are just as much inter
ested in the home as women are,
and as anxious to learn how to
manage it," she says. "Men are as
able to beautify and decorate a
home as women. After all, making
a home is a partnership affair.
Miss Metzger's six lectures cover
exterior design of homes, inter-relation
of rooms in the plan, built-in
fixtures, color scheme, furnishings,
and selection and hanging of pic
tures. Asked what men were most
interested in, she replied promptly,
"Color. And modernistic architec
ture and furnishings. Boys do not
have a chance to choose colors.
Little girls match their socks and
dresses, but boys aren't suppow1
to be interested. I find they are.
They like to work with colors -they
seem starved for color."
After color, men arc interested

"Shall we carry religion as a
burden or shall we let religion
carry us?" questioned Rev. Paul
Johnston, pastor of Westminster
church, at vespers Tuesday, March
7. Rev. Johnston emphasized the
fact that religion and morality
cannot be separated.
This discussion was the first of
a series of five Lenten services
sponsored by the Y. W. C. A.
These will continue during Lent
Rev. Johnston will speak at the

"Modernistic furniture expresses
the machine age," says Miss Metz
ger. "Men are interested in me
chanics and science and modern
istic design seems to strike a
dominant note in their characters.
Perhaps it is the simple use of ma
te! ials, the restriction of design,
and the suitability for offices that
appeals to them."
Following Miss Metzger, Dr.
Gibbons has taken the class for
two lectures on nutrition of chil
dren and adults. Next will come
home equipment, then child care
and development with Dr. Staples
lecturing. The class will visit the
nursery school to make actual ob
servations. .
Dr. Hertzler, of the sociology
department, will take the class for
lectures on "Social and Family Re
lationship." Another subject to be
touched upon is budget making,
given to promote good standards
of family management.
The course is a bird's eye view
of the regular four years of home
economics taken by girls. It is not
restricted to Ag students, bow
ever. It is intended to give all men
an idea of what it is to manage a

Dr. R. J. Pool.

Chosen From 250
Scientists.
Dr R. J. Pool, chaiiman of the
department ot" botany at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, was selecte-J
&3 one of a group of two hundred
and fifty Anieiican scientists
whose names are to be starred in
the new forthcoming, fifth edition
of the biographical work known as
American Men of Science. In this
manner these men are designate!
as outstanding leaders in their re
spective fields of science. Dr. Pool
was the only persons from Ne

The reports indicate that the se
lections were made from a list of
more than 20,000 scientific work
ers in America by a complicated
plan devised by Dr. J. McKeen
Cattell, a psychologist and editor
of Science, the official organ of the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science. Dr. Cattell
is also editor of the biographical
directory in which the names will
appear.
These new names will be added
to those previously selected for the
honor in order to bring the total
group of men whose names are
starred to 1,000, who are, in this
manner, designated as the leading
American Men of Science. Each of
the newly selected men stands first
among more than eighty investi
gators, so that the selections are
made on a rather severe basis.

Double jeopardy, they tell the
freshmen over at law school, is a
situation where one is threatened
with two or more punishments for
the same unlawful act.
"Suppose," said the professor
Wednesday, "a man courts a girl
and becomes engaged to her. At
the same time he seeks the hand
of another girl and they become
betrothed. Though very possible,
this case didn't happen on the
campus here.
"Now if this man goes ahead
with his plans to marry the first
girl and on the day of the wedding
turns up at the church to find the
second girl and her attorney there
also, what kind of defense could
he plead if brought to trial for the
apparent misunderstanding?"
"Well," said Elmer Hubka of
the football team, "I think it would
be a good case of double jeopardy."
Elmer was awarded the brown
derby for a week.

Russell Durgin, Y.M. Worker
In Far East, Speaks at
Temple Wednesday.
That Japan's fear of communis
tic Russia is the cause of her vig
orous expansion program in Man
churia was the opinion of Russell
L. Durgin, Y. M. C. A. worker in
the far east, in his talk before stu
dents and faculty members at the
second luncheon meeting spon
sored by the Student Forum com
mittee, in the Temple yesterday
noon.
"Japan does not want to colon
ize Manchuria," said Mr. Durgin.
"She wants Manchuria as a buffer
state against the communists of
Russia, a thing of which all Japa
nese have a dread."
United States is Esteemed.
The Japanese, as a nation, hold
United States and the American
people in high esteem, and recent
actions of this country have not
altered that opinion, was the opin
ion of Mr. Durgin, who has been
in active work in Japan since
191!).
"Japan's participation in the
Olympics this summer did much to
increase the friendship between
these two nations. Many close
friendships were struck up," snid
Mr. Durgin.
The many Japanese students
who attend school in the United
States every year do not return to
their native country with such a
high opinion of American students,
due to their treatment received at
the hands of students in this coun
try, commented Mr. Durgin.
Japan is on Defensive.
"Japan's expansion in the tar
east should not be regarded as im
perialistic, rather should it be re
garded as a sort of defensive pol
icy," continued the speaker. "I do
not deny that Manchuria is rich in
natural resources, but this is not
