A Pamphlet
Still Needed.
MOT TO be outdone by the unaffiliated girls who
are beginning organization under sponsorship of
the A. W. S. board, barb men Tuesday met to
strengthen the Interclub council.
The council, which is the organization thru which
glimmerings of barb participation in activities have
fltered, is making a heroic effort to put within reach
of non-Greeks some measure of opportunity in ex
tracurricular affairs. Last year its program em
braced organization of groups for participation in
lntramurals, sponsoring of parties, and some at
tempt to acquaint unaffiliated students with the
work and play into which they might enter in vari
ous activities.
There is every indication thst the council is try
ing equally hard this year to form an organization
sufficient to effect a union between unaffiliated men
and the field of activities and the Tuesday evening
meeting was among those indications.
But the Interclub council alone does not have the
momentum to form any kind of a lasting, effective
organization. To do that will require the direct help
of organizations already established, and "organiza
tions already established" implies that every branch
of extracurricular activities must be open to unaf
filiated men and women.
JJORE specifically, barbs must be extended help in
their efforts at organization, and that assistance
can be given in two ways: By Student council inter
est in putting the Interclub council on a firm basis,
and by publication, at the beginning of every year,
of a pamphlet setting forth and describing all cam
pus extracurricular activities.
Such a publication was sponsored, it will be re
membered, as on outgrowth of a meeting calling at
tention to the necessity of a revitalization of activi
ties two years ago. Information was collected by the
Innocents society but the cost of printing in booklet
form could not be met and the data that had been
gathered was printed in the Daily Nebraskan in
serial form. Dragging out from day to day over a
long period of time this method was not at all satis
factory, and this year not even that means of in
forming students was followed.
Obviously the pamphlet is still needed, both for
barbs and incoming new students. One of the big
stumbling blocks in formation of an effective organ
izaiton by the Interclub council has been a lack of

BERNARD SHAW.
ASK me what I think about uni
versities," a voice said, and I
felt a clutching at my arm, and
turned to see the thin, bearded,
wraith-like form of Bernard Shaw.
"Great heavens:" I gasped. "Are
you dead?"
"Oh, no," he answered, "but you
pretend to be interviewing famous
ghosts, and I only lacked being a
ghost to become one of the com
pany. Ask away!"
"Well," I said, recovering. "I
suppose you have thought about
schools."
"Hmm" said Bernard Shaw.
"The more I think of school, the
less I think of school. You must
understand that I am a practi
tioner, not a professor."
I nodded.
"As I have said." he went on,
"the thing to do with Cambridge
and Oxford is to raze them to the
ground and sow the foundations
with salt. I hate to think of the
place called school, where I was
shut up for half the day like a
caught bird. I was kept from the
books I needed, from the picture
gallery, from the intercourse with
Nature which really educated me."
"How would you change uni
versities?" I asked.
"First I would decentralize edu
cation," he said. "And I would
strike away the tendency to stan
dardize curricula and to turn out
uniform products. If I felt radi
cal, I might interchange pupil and
teacher. That would be a good
move."
"Surely you find some virtue in
universities." I said.
He agreed that he did. "Yes,
people go to university to be so
cialized, and that is virtuous. As
for the subjects the deluded pro
fessors try to teach, they can be
learned just as well by uie of ex
tension service, private tutors, or
gramaphones. But I murt admit
that universities are an aid in the
teaching of manners, in teaching
young people to become citizens
of the world, pursuing culture. But
these young people must be cau
tioned that it is necessary that
th"y know the world outside the
university as well as their shop
kper does."
"Have you anything ele to
aay?" I axked.
"Yes." he said. "Those who
have bt-cn taught most know
iart." And he disappeared in a
great clap of thunder.

Extension Director W. H. Bro

or a Nebraska party in Kansas
City Monday and Tuesday at a re
gional meeting to work out ma
chinery for the government's new
corn-hog program. Government
programs are becoming so numer
ous mat even tne college profes
sors can hardly keep track of all
of them.
The corn-hog plan not the
newest, for the government's gold
buying program is even newer is
designed to pay farmers $350,000,
000 to reduce their total corn pro
duction 20 per cent and their total
pork production 25 per cent. Early
reports from the Kansas City
meeting indicated that the pro
gram will be set in motion by the
end of thi3 month and that per
haps half of the $350,000,000 will
be in farmers hands shortly after
the first of the year.
Mr. Brokaw believes that with
the wheat allotment programs hj
a background of experience, the
new corn-hog reduction plan
should move along smcothly and
rapidly.

These convocations are intended to

just such a means of arousing barb interest in ac
tivltles.
The Interclub group is making some progress, but
it needs help. Part of that help can be supplied thru
arrangements for publication of an "activities sur
vey" as soon as possible and since the only bar to
the pamphlet has been a lack of funds, it behooves
activities themselves to contribute the money.
Youth in its
Seriousness.
YHILE over a thousand students were casting a
record vote in Tuesday's honorary colonel elec
tion there were going on, outside the campus, sev
eral things of rather larger importance.
In New York City the most feverish mayoralty
contest in years was being held, with Tammany's
future power at stake. In six state elections voters
were casting their ballots for or against repeal of
the eighteenth amendment.
From Washington came the news that a $7,500,
OOOtoken payment had been tne temporary solution
of the United States-Great Britain debt controversy.
And Litvinoff, soviet representative, arrived to es
tablish relations with the United States.
These were only some of the things in the day's
national life. While they were going on, students on
the campus concerned themselves with election of
an honorary colonel to preside at the opening of the
formal season. The contrast has its amusing aspects.
Movvlty in
A Comic.
yjylTH emphasis on Homecoming and football, the
new Awgwan, on sale today, combines the ap
peal of a football player, a pictorial handbook, and
above all a student medium of literary expression.
If this be fullsome praise, so be it, but the maga
zine is good.
Decked out in a colorful "new process" cover,
produced by photographing a design made of fab
rics, the comic continues to effer new features to
campus readers. Avid as they always are for nov
elty, those readers should enjoy the array of pic
tures colected for this month's issue.
They should enjoy, too, a departure into a new
field reviewing as represented by the sketch,
"Rose Is a Rose," which would do credit to an
avowed literary magazine.
Homecoming is the theme of the November
Awgwan, and the publication should be well re
ceived by a campus beginnig to turn its attention
to Homecoming activities. It's a good magazine.

omy fall on our public schools. It would not do the
state a bit of harm if we did not build another mile
of road for the next three years. It would not do
much harm if we did not spend any more for op

activities that we could get along without in time of
trouble. But one single year that education is neg

roads any time. But where you lose one year in
public education it can never be regained."
That is Alfred E. Smith speaking. The quo
tation is from an address on the recent occasion of
his presentation of an honorary doctor of laws de
gree by New York university.
There is little need to expand the ideas set
forth in his remarks, for they apply with equal
strength to Nebraska as well as to any other state.
The quotation should, indeed, be graven on the walls
of every state's legislative chambers.

Scorned.
Antiquated Fords, dirty cords,
drunken brawls, all form a com
posite picture of the average col
lege life as imagined by the great
class of Ame rican citizens who
have never been enrolled in col
lege. One of the latest publicity
stunts for the "rah-rah" idea is
the motion picture. "The Sweet
heart of Sigma Chi." With such
misrepresentations, how can the
public be expected to understand
or have sympathy for real learn
ing and serious students, which
are the aims of all universities?
In Europe today, many of the
leaders in political movements and
advanced thought come from the
ranks of the students. In Amer
ica, through the influence of the
movies and cheap periodicals, col
lege has been pictured as a swad
dling cloth for protracted good
times and childish amusements.
In regard to the picture, the na

entered a protest, denouncing it as
a false picture of fraternity life.

'Women in Persia Aren't So Handy
With Rolling-Pin' States Speaker
" omen in Persia aren t so
handy with the rolling-pin, but
when they wish, they can exert a
great deal of pressure on man in
general and Shah s in particular,
declared Mrs. Esselstyn in speak
ing to the International Relations
club on Persia, a week ago Wed
nesday night. Mrs. Esselstyn,
one of the directors of the Lansing
Y. W. C. A. was a missionary in
Persia for 25 years.
When the Shah of Persia had all
the grain in his storehouses and
there was a famine in the country,
men were helpless to get food for
their families. The Shah kept tor
turing bakers to make the people
think they were at fault, mean
while holding the grain for higher
prices, when whispers began to go
about behind black veils. The
women were going to act.
Shah Signs Petition.
On the morning the Shah was to
go to his castle outside the city,
Mrs. Esselstyn said she rode horse
back to a place just outside the
city to see what the women were
going to do. On both sides of the
road the fields were black for
miles with women in the cus
tomary black robes and veils, and
as it came time for the Shah to
pass that way, the women moved
into the road and prostrated them
selves, leaving not an inch of
passageway along that narrow
road for miles. The Shah's train
approached. First his water car
riers, who go ahead to sprinkle the
road, came up to the women and
stopped: then his brushers, who
brush the road clean, came up and
halted: next his runners-ahead
stopped, and finally the Shah him
self arrived and stopped. The
women remained prostrated.
"Drive on" yelled the Shah.
The drivers cracked their whips
and drove to the edge of the
women, and stopped. "Go ahead"
commanded the absolute ruler of
Persia. But the drivers wouldn't
drive over the miles of women.
They just couldn't do it. The Shah
Finding of Diabase Rock Axe Indicates

WASHINGTON. (Special I. A
new chapter in American history,
containing the first evidence that
human beings lived on the Atlantic

Christ, has been written by a 2.000
year old stone axe dug up in Albe

The primitive axe is unique In

capital city, declaring that she
would die before she would let her
children starve, and asking him to

had to do it.
But ordinarily the women are
meek, bowing to their husbands'
will, and not even opposing child
marriage to any great extent yet.
Persia now has a constitutional
monarchy, Mrs. Esselstyn told the
International Relations club. But
since Persia has almost no com
merce, nor part in world affairs,
she is interesting chiefly on ac
count of her part in ancient his
tory. There are many marvelous
ruins In Persia, among which, up
to a few years ago anyone could
dig and keep his finds.
Six Great Persian Poets.
Besides Omar Khayyam, Persia
has six great poets, none of them,
however, with any Fitzgerald to
translate their beautiful works. All
seven poets wrote under pen
names, such as "the overflowing
bowl," "the tent-maker," Omar
Kahyyam, and "memory." The
last named always signed his name
in the last verse of every poem he
wrote. Somewhere one finds in
each last verse, the word memory.
Zoroastrianism, the ancient reli
gion of the Persians, is a very pure
faith, Mrs. Esselstyn declared.
They do not worship the elements,
but take them all as a sign of the
Creator, and, for example, always
salute fire.
They do not bury or cremate
their dead because they do not
wish to contanminate the purity of
the earth. They take their dead
to a high tower open to the sky,
and lay the bodies on a grating.

than had been believed. They were
already hunting in the eastern for
ests when Nero ruled Rome and
Pompeii was destroyed by the lava
of Vesuvius.
The age of 2,000 years or so was
assigned to the axe because, though
it was lustrous black when first
chipped from the diabase rock, the
weather of many centuries had
worn its surface deeply and turned
it a lightish brown. Then it was
found and re-sharpened or re
chipped and this again exposed the
original black rock. The part ex
posed by the second chipping is
only slightly worn, contrasting
with the deep wear and discoloring
of the originally chipped portion.
Indian Found Axe.
The second chipping, about 1.300
A. D., is believed to have been
done by some Indian of the Siouan
race, which lived in Virginia when
the first whites arrived and had
been believed the first human be
ings in that region. But the long
period of weathering between the
first and second sharpening of the
axe shows the area was inhabited
long before the Siouans, perhaps
by a race that vanished before they
came.
"Considering conditions known
to have prevailed on other parts
of the continent 1.500 to 2,000
years ago," says Mr. Bushnell, "it
is within reason to believe that
nomadic bands, even before that
time, had penetrated into the wil
derness east of the mountains."

Lack of women students is quite

"The University of Paris build

Dean Ackerman of Columbia

That is the opinion of Dean
Carl W. Ackerman, of the Colum

In his annual report to Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, Colum

General Hugh S. Johnson in using
the radio arid film industry to ex
ploit NRA has "swayed the masses
by fear and created doubt in the
minds of the intellectual minority
whose support is essential to re

democratic people can be united In
peace as well as in war," Dean
Ackerman says. "While it is the
hope of the nation that the NRA
movement will succeed, it is in
dispensable to the public welfare
and the destiny of our country
that the news and editorial
columns of our press be kept open,
free to record and interpret or
comment upon the facts, as well as
to print what is inspired by
earnest and devoted public offi
cials. "By concentrating upon the ra
dio and motion pictures as the
major instruments in his 'sym
phony of action' and by discour
aging free discussions of economic
policies, General Johnson has
swayed the masses by fear and
created doubts in the minds of the
intellectual minority whose sup
port Is essential to recovery."
Cites Work of Press.
The work of the press thruout
the depression demonstrated
clearly the absolute value and ne
cessity for its continued freedom,
says the report, and should earn
for it continued public recognition
and support. A system of licenses
for papers or publishers, as pro
posed in the early negotiations be
tween the press and the recovery
administration, he feels would be
a very dangerous step for the na
tion as a whole.
"During the first three years of
the depression," he says, "when
the United States was without a
central recognized or trusted pub
lic authority, the press fulfilled the
exacting task of leadership. In
dividual editors and newspapers in
thousands of communities thruout
the land maintained local opinion
on an even keel, exercised a salu

"We favor a system by whicn

newspaper may not be dismissed
with less than one month's notice;
four years, two months' notice;
five years, three months' notice;
seven years, five months' notice,
and eight years and beyond, six
months notice.
"We favor an extension of the
minimum wage clause in the re
vised newspaper code to provide
that any New York newspaper
man who has had one year or
more experience in work shall re
ceive a minimum wage of $35;
for two years' experience, $40. To
protect this scale we would sug
gest that not more than one-fifth
of any reportorial or copy desk
staff should consist of men of less
than one year's experience.
We favor an annual minimum
vacation of two weeks with pay
for all newspaper workers who
have been employed for more than
one year."
The meeting disputed the pub
lishers' definition of a newspaper
man who makes $35 a week or
more as a professional exempt
irom minimum hour provisions.
Paul y. Anderson, Washington

of three members from each of the
two fraternity political factions
will, in conjunction with the fa
ulty advisors, Prof. E. F. Schramm
and Col. C. J. Frankfurter, appoint
all interfraternity committees, in
eluding the ball and banqviet com
mittees which were branded as po
litical stepping stones in former
criticisms,
It was expected that personnel
of many of the various working
committees for the year will be
completed and presented to the
council at the next regular meet
ing. Schramm Reports,
Professor Schramm, who repre
sented the council at the National
Interfraternity Council Conference,
in Chicago, Oct. 13-14, presented a
detailed report of the convention,
and discussed recommendations as
adopted by that group. A crying
need for members was voiced by
many delegates, due no doubt to
the effect of the depression, in pre
venting men from pledging frater
nities, he declared. Many schools
at which deferred pledging was
practiced have undergone near ex
tinction of fraternities and have
been compelled to revise their
rushing systems drastically to per
mit immediate pledging:. Schramm
declared that Nebraska was fortu
nate in being a step ahpvl of most
universities on the rushing prob
lem. Emphasize Commissariei.
A second item which received
emphasis of the conference was
that of commissaries. Belief that a
great amount cf waste and graft
existed in this department led the
group to adopt a recommendation
that all chapters pay stricter at
tention to this department in the
future, and select the most capable
business members to fill the posi
tion of house manager. Great econ
omy could be effected in mora
careful management of this depart
ment, the convention believed.
Additional recommendations of
the conference were: Elimination
of physical compulsion toward the
freshmen; creation of cultural ap
petite in the fraternities thru es
tablishment of libraries, music and
art; and simplification of financial
and bookkeeping systems.
Schramm added that he believes
the conference progressed further
in getting at the root of many fra
ternity problems this year than
ever before, and that definite im
provement should permit.
