Unemployment Survey Reveals That
Lincoln Approaches Prosperity at
Slower Pace Than the Average City
Lincoln is approaching the cor
ner around which lies prosperity at
a slower rate than that of the av
erage city, according to figures
compiled by Professor Swayzee's
personnel management class in its
recent 1933 unemployment survey.
There has been an increase in em
ployment from 10 to 35 percent in
the country during the past year,
while in Lincoln the change has
been Blight. There has been a 1.3
percent decrease in total unem
ployment in Lincoln during that
me, but a 2 percent increase in
depression unemployment."
Listed in the survey there were
3884 persons, representative of
Lincoln's population, enumerated,
f whom 928, or 25.2 percent were
wholly unemployed; 398, or 10.8

What should be of interest to col

These girls, because of the depres

Comment on NRA.
The NRA came in for some
comment on the part of the per
sons interviewed. In districts where
unemployment was greatest last
year, the NRA was praised highly.
There have been a few jobs given.
On the other hand, in those dis
tricts where unemployment was
least last year, the NRA was con
demned because it brought about
reduced earnings.
It was pointed out by the stu

do not give a complete picture of

RACES OF FUTURE
Zoology Professor Speaks
To Phi Beta Kappas
Monday Night.
Predicting that man of the fu
ture will have an enlarged brain
with the resultant greater intellect,
Dr. D. D. Whitney, professor in the
department of zoology, delivered
the second in the series of winter
lectures before a meeting of Phi
Beta Kappa in the University club
Monday evening. About seventy
five attended.
Development Is Normal.
"This development which 1 pre
dict conies only as the result of
normal development," Dr. Whitney
said, "for when you compare the
brain of prehistoric man with the
brain of present day man you will
find that it was only about three
fifths as large or as well develop
ed. Throughout the ages the brain
of man has been developing, that
being the only thing that distin
guished him from animal."
Continue Evolution.
"As we develop, in the next mil
lion or one and one-half million
years we will lose things just as
we have lost things in developing
to our present state," he said. "For
instance, we have lost the hair,
teeth, and tail that was once part
of prehistoric man but we have
gained also. We can now walk up
right on two feet, whereas we for
merly crawled on four, and we
have developed particularly the
power of reasoning."
He traced in detail the steps
man made in the process of evo
lution and painted a rosy future
for mankind.
"The brains of today that seem
to be those of genii," he said, "with
their 'I. Q.' approaching 200 will
be the common thing of the future.
Man is due for a great develop
ment, particularly in intellect."
H. J. Kesner, president of the
society, presided over the dinner.

Good Weather a Factor.
"Good weather is the big rea
son in my opinion, that explains
the reason," said Selleck. "with
the popularity of Nebraska's team
and the quality of the opposition
following close behind. Other
factors to be considered are the
reduced prices and the fact that
the games were not broadcast."
The totals for the individual
games are as follows:

These figures are only the
ticketholders in the stadium and do
not include the band, ushers, and
others entering the stadium with
out tickets. This total included
the Knotholers and members of
the team who were given com
plimentary tickets.
The Knotholers, tho admitted at
a lower price, are considered by
Mr. Selleck to be a good publicity
idea, because of the full price ad
missions which they attract to the
game. Also he believes that when
the Knotholers themselves have
outgrown the age limit that they
will also return to the games
swelling future crowds.
The games that the Nebraska
team played off the home field
totaled for the whole season only
little over 50,000 according to the
statistics available. The crowds at
the Pitt and Missouri games had
to be estimated because of the lack
of accurate information.

Of Valuable Ancient Maps Of The

Valuable ancient maps of the
world, drawn by noted geogra
phers centuries ago, are being dis
played in a special exhibit in the
University library.
A map drawn twenty-four cen
turies agx by Herodatus. "The
Father of History," is on exhibit,
showing in a striking manner the
conception of the time that Europe
was the only existing continent,
with Asia and Africa as divisions.
Another map in the collection
was drawn by Strabo. a Greek
geographer born in 63 B. C, and
the author of one of the first
geography texts. An edition of
Ptolemy's Guide to Geography
that was printed in 1548 shows
the importance of the work, which
was written in 150 A. D.
