LEROSSIGNOL BE
NIGHT CLASS
Dean Of BiZad College Will,
Open First of Fifteen
Lectures Tonight.
TO DISCUSS SOCIALISM
( Dean J. K. LeRossignol of the
college of business administration
will speak Wednesday evening,
Feb. 7, in Social Science building
on the subject "Utopian Social
ism." This lecture, on a currently
interesting topic, introduces a se
ries of fifteen such addresses to
be given as part of the semester's
night class program in economics.
Under the title "Economic Prob
lem? of the Present Day." the first
twelve of the lectures will be given
bv Dean LeRossignol, while the
last three will be by Karl M. Arndt.
associate professor of economics
and expert in the field of money
and banking at the university. One
will he presented each week on
Wednesday evening, and each will
deal with a widely discussed cur
rent problem in the field. Those de
sirirg credit may register for two
hours, and others may arrange to
audit the course
Having spent many years study
ing the problem of socialism. Dean
LfRnssignol has an able back
ground for his opening talk. "It is
an interesting series of subjects,"
he said, in speaking of the course.
'"We shall probably have to revise
our notes at the last minute of the
day we are to speak, because of
th" constant change going on in
the world, and because we are dis
cussing such fresh issues. We real
ize the worldwide tendencies
toward socialism and fascism, and
we shall treat the subjects from a
world standpoint rather than as if
A merica alone were concerned."
Besides the lectures on socialism
and fascism, other topics for dis
cussion are entitled: Service vs.
profit in business, reparations and
war debts, international trade, the
recovery program, how the codes
are operating, financing the farm
er, the new dollar, and inflation.
Daily Average Temperature This
January Six Degrees Above That
Of Year Ago; Pressure Is Abnormal
Contrary to the general be
lief that we are experiencing
both extremely dry and warm
weather, comes a cantradiction
of this popular notion from the
United States weather bureau to
he effect that really there has
keen .01 inches more precipitation
the last three months than the av
erage in former years. With hardly
any rain or snow to mention in
November, January, and the first
of February, practically all the
moisture fell in December which
month contributed 1.63 inches of
rain to the total of 2.52 inches
auring the past three months.
However, that the weather has
been extremely mild is verified by
the fact that it has been on an av
erage, 6 degrees above normal
every day, the daily average tem
perature being 36 degrees while
last year the average was 3' de
grees. As for the opinion that this
past January was an exception for
warm weather, the January last
year, which incidentally broke a
record for being the warmest Jan
uary on record, was much hotter

The Corn Cob picture, which was

announcement Tuesday afternoon,
urged that all members be at the

In the near future, according to
Kosmon, president of the pep club,

UNIVERSITY CWA
CLOSING STAGES
Two Shifts of 65 Laborers
Working to Complete
Practice Grids.
FEB. 15 IS
DEADLINE'
Tennis Court and Stadium
Improvements Last to
Be Undertaken.
With Thursday, Felt. l.", set
as the deadline for CWA work
completion on this campus,
workmen are rapidly bringing
the various university projects
to a close. After the deadline date
set by the federal administration
no more funds will be submitted
to go for wages of laborers.
Since the middle of December
workmen have been grading the
old south practice field in the sta
dium area into a larger tract
which is to provide for three foot- i
ball practice gridirons. Two shitu !
of sixtv-five laborers each have i
been working constantly on the
the undertaking before time is up.
During the two months of work
straw has been used to cover the
soil to prevent its freezing, altho
during most of the time tempera-
1 tures have been so mild that straw
j was unnecessary. Besides the
! grading the track has also been
revised, being shortened about
2 1-3 yards" to a 400 meter dis
tance instead of the old 440 yard
length. The chute from which the
dash and hurdle events started has
also been sacrificed to make room
for the filling in with ground
which is to make the north ends
of the three practice fields.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TO ELECT OFFICERS
I
for
Fifteen Men Nominated
Offices in Bizad
Society.
The election of officers of the ;
men's commercial club for this se- j
mester will take place Wednesday
night at the meeting in the club
rOom at 8 o'clock.
Fifteen candidates have been
nominated to head the Bizad col
lege clubs functions. The three
nominees for president are Gerald
Spurlock. Max Nusbaum, and fcd
ward Severy; for vice president
William Wimpenny. Delno Stage
man, and Ray Elliott: treasurer,
Edward Gildner. Edwin Pohlman.
Lumir Bocek: secretary, Harold
Barnes. Harold Wmquest, and Les
lie Wied.
Nominations for Bizad Execu
tive committee are Lester Prokop,
Howard Roberts, and Robert Eby.
The point that makes people
think we are having dry weather,
according to the bureau, is that all
the rainfall was concentrated
around the first and second of De
cember, and that the amount of
snow has been very much below
normal. The average snow precipi
tation is 10.4 inches while there
has been only 2.6 inches.
"While we are not able to give
the remote causes for this 'dry'
weather." stated Professor Blair of
the United States weather bureau,
"the immediate causes are that the
pressure distribution of this part
of the country has been much dif
erent than normal and that the
storms all pass to the north of us.
We are getting southerly winds
whereas formerly the storms came
up from the southwest, bringing
with them cold weather.
And aa for predicting what kind
of weather we will have." he con
cluded, "after having the warmest
January on record last year, it
was not infrequently 18 degrees
below zero in February."
This may serve as a sort of
warning for those who are antici
pating warm weatner to continue,
for very very often, a long period
of mildhes is followed by extreme
icoldneaa. I

Be
Dr.
ti. C. Hendricks, chair
man of faculty committee of
the Council of Religious Wel
fare, will give a talk to that
body Thursday at i p. lit. at
the Temple building. The sub
ject is "What Constitutes a Work
able Religious Message and Pro
gram." Doctr Hendricks attended as a
delegate of the university, the Tri
Annual Conference of Religious j
Workers upon university and col-!
lege campi. This conference was !
held Jan. 16, 17. 18. at St. Louis, j
Members were present from as far
distant places as Oregon, Louisi
ana, Michigan and New York. 1
The program included addresses
from President Jessup of Iow
State college. Doctor Smith, pastor j
of the church adjacent to Univer
sity of Missouri at Columbia and
President Florence of Lincoln uni-;
cersity for Negroes. The final eve
ning was the joint banquet with
: the Association of American Col
leges and Universities which was
held at tne same time. i
The Council of Religious Welfaie j
at Nebraska is composed of three i
groups. The faculty as A. the pas-1
tors as B. and the students as C
group. The B group is composed
ot one raDOi. one pnesi, au im.
pastors of various protestant de-1
nominations. . . -
Doctor Hendricks makes the ;
statement that the work done by
different educational institutions
for religious welfare ot their stu-!
dents seems to-vary all the way
from efforts put forth by local
church pastors to a school of re-
ligion which is an integral part ol
the university organization our
work at the University of Nc -
braska seems to occupy an inter -
mediate place between these two
extremes.

realm of natural history lies only a few hundred miles from
Lincoln in the heart of a busy nuieliihjf ami farming commu
nity, l-'or years the people of this district went about, their
every day n Pairs, little dreaming; that under their very feet
lay the remains of the ancestors ofO
the animals that earned them their j
livelihood, monsters more awesome
than anything

From time to time, of col

Then one day the bed was dis-
covered. For forty-two years, since
