sources lack of social functions can
be attributed, the mothers clubs

them busv and the social calendar
full. Last Sunday evening the Phi
Mu mothers club entertained the
actives and their friends at a Val
entine supper at the house. Red
roses and tapers decorated the
tables which were set for sixty.

'Art in Advertising' Topic
Of Talk Tuesday by
Local Stylist.
Mrs. Walt Rundlo, stylist and
artist at Miller & Paine, spoke on
"Art In Advertising" at a meeting
of Gamma Alpha Chi, honorary
(advertising sororitv, last night at
I 7:30 at Ellon Smith.
! "One of the first things of com
mercial art work Is to learn pen
and ink drawing," Mrs. Rundlo
told the group. She stressed the
ifaot that speed and accuracy are
imperative to success in any line
of advertising but particularly in
art work.
I Mrs. Rundlo said she believed
! that photography will never wholly
take the place of drawing and
(sketching in this field, because the
realistic reproduction of the cam
; err. cannot convey the imaginative
land personal touch of the artist
: She concluded her lecture by show
ing a number of sketches, mats
land block-cuts.
The meeting was open to those
interested in advertising as well
as alumnae and active members of
, the organization.

the disposition of the students
case and the type of position he
must assume.
Dean Thompson is stressing the
need for students to apply soon as
the semester school work is ad
vancing. There are 454 jobs for
both men and women open to stu
dents already registered and also
to prospective students. The num
ber of blanks already filed does
not entirely cover the number of
positions open under the federal
ruling specifying that 10 percent
of the previous semester's enroll
ment shall be taken as the num
ber to be aided.
Three major requirements con
cerning individuals who desire to
receive and thru the plan, as set
forth by federal ruling are:
1. The student's financial status
must lie such that his attendance
at college would be impossible
without this aid.
2. The student shall be of good
character and shall be judged by
the usual methods of determining
ability that are used by the par
ticular college.
3. The student shall possess
such ability as to give assurance
that he will do high grade work
in college.
Two committees are working on
the project, the first is checking
eligibility of applicants the other
is finding and approving jobs for
the many students in financial
straits.
Students receiving help will be
required to pay all registration
fees, the only leniency being in the
case of the late registration fee
whic:i will be withdrawn. The se
mester fees for a student who has ,
not paid his matriculation fees and i
who is carrying no laboratory j
work will be at least $23 for a ten
hour course. If five of the ten '

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Famous Camera Man Relates Some of
Problems That Trouble Photographer
ITHACA, N. V. "It Is Impos
sible to act before a camera," said
Edward J. Stlchen, Internationally
famous photographer, in a recent
Interview with the Cornell Dally
Sun. ,
"Of course, 1 refer to portrai
ture, and not to the cinema. In
order to have a natural photo
graph, the sitter must feel natural.
That la why it is no easier to
photograph stage and screen stars.
Their talents don't he them much
when they face ft camera. Every
one is nervous, really afraid, when
they go to have their picture taken.
Anil generally, men are harder to
photograph than women, they're
more conceited.
Handling People.
"However, there's no set tech
nique to handling people. Each
person presents an entirely differ
nt problem in expression and In
lighting, as well as in the method
of posing them. For instance, I
had a great deal of trouble when
I first photographed Charlie Chap
lin. He was nervous and uneasy
before the camera. Finally, after
several attempts, he said, "I'm not
good at this sort of thing, any
way." We sat down and talked
for a while about pictures and life
In general, and got interested in
each other. Then it was a simpler
matter. I got six or seven good
shots right away."
Object of Photography,
The object of photography, as
Stelchen puts it, is to keep a fleet
ing instant; therefore, he greatly
adms newspaper photographs.
"The best pictures are those
which are stolen," he said, "and
the news photographers have a
good eye for getting pictures that
tell stories." There is, what is per
haps more important, the photog
raphy of decoration. Naturally,
Steichen excels in this field ol his
art. Perhaps his best creation
along this line is the set of photo
murals in Radio City, which he
did last vear.

Teutonic Race.
At one time, according to Dr.
Scott, western Europe was divided
into three different groups of peo
ples, the Teutonic or Scandinavian
in the north, the Alpine in central
Europe, and the Mediterranean
peoples in southern Europe. He
explained the race of people now
found in Ireland to be Teutonic
peoples who. after migrating into
the central regions of Europe, af
ter several centuries, moved thru
Spain to Ireland.
H. J. Kesner. presideht of the

Being a painter does not neces
sarily aid in being a photographer,
according to Stelchen, who form
erly studied painting. Painting
has taken a lot from photography,
and photography has been tre
mendously affected by painting.
Painting la Different.
But painting and photography
are entirely different. There is
no such thing aa composition in
photography, for if there were, all
photographs would have a same
ness. Photography la half art,
half science; therefore, the Idea
that painting is better than pho
tography, or vice versa, is entirely
an academic question.
Stelchen is one of Uie first to
realize me possibilities of the new
photography, which is based on the
principle that a photograph should
give an impression rather than
merely state a fact. His striking
picture of the George Washington
bridge is a good example of im
pressionism. Concerning it, Steich
en remarked, "I looked around to
find the best angle by which to get
the feeling of mass, and yet have
movement."
Best Statement.
This is perhaps the bast state
ment of the idea behind Impres
sionistic photography. He is very
much interested in color photogra
phy and has done many beautiful
fashion pictures in color.
During the World war, Steichen
served as a major in the photo
graphic division of the U. S. air
service with the AEF. After that,
he lived in Paris for a while, where
he first began photographing cele
brites. Among his first portraits
are those of Sara Bernhard, Duse.
Henri Matisse, and others. Today,
his list of sitters reads like an in
ternational "Who's Who." Nearly
everyone who is famous has been
photographed by Stelchen. He is
staff photographer for Vanity Fair
and Vogue and many of his pic
tures appear in those publications
every month. The Daily Cardinal.

TASTES BETTER
MEN AVOID JAME 'SISSY'
Fear of Being Dubbed This
Keeps Them From Taking
Creative Art Work.
SEATTLE, Feb. 13 Fear of be
ing labelled "sissies" keeps many
college men from taking an active
part in creative art activities, ac
cording to Doan Willis L. Uhl of
the University of Washington Col
lege of Education.
"The fact that boys have been
used to opposlng'creatlve art as a
matter of principle Is not their
fault alone," Dean Uhl said. "Some
boys don't get over the feeling
that they might be called 'sissies'
even when they are sixty years
old.
"I wish that men students, as
well as women, would realize that
their self-expression is something
worthwhile and that they would
;ret rid of the 'sissy' theory."

ENGLISH VOCABULARY
Language Research Workers
Will Compile Words for
International Use.
NEW YORK. (CNS. The com
pilation of an international Knglish
vocabulary adequate for ordinary
conversation has been commenced
by the Language Research Insti
tute of New York University.
The new international vocabu
lary, as outlined by Miss Maine
Swenson. director of research, and
Dr. Michael West of the Univer
sity of Toronto, chairman of the
advisory board, will be checked
against the 12 leading lists now
used in the teaching of English aa
a foreign language.
It will be regarded as a mini
mum adequate vocabulary and will
contain between 900 and 1,300
words.
Dr. West announced that the
new vocabulary is expected to be
completed within the next six or
eight weeks. The actual work of
compiling the words will be direct
ed by Miss Swenson and himself,
he said, with the assistance of the
research staff of the university in

TRAINING MAY NOT BE
BEST STATES SPROUL
Says School Should Not Be
Forced Upon Those Who
Do Not Want It.
BERKELEY, Calif. (CNSi Dr,
Robert Gordon Sproul- "Bob''
Sproul to his intimates during
the relatively short time he haa
been president of the University ot
California has established a repu
tation as one of the nation's load.
Ing progressive educators.
Recently he took issue with a
theory of higher education which
has been Rt least tacitly accepted
as a necessary accessory to democ
racy. Said he:
"There are many young people
for whom a college or university
training is not to be recommended';
our society must be willing to
grant that it is respectable for a
young man or woman to refrain
from a university career."
He further declared that it is a
mistake to lorce 'higher educa
tion" on those who do not want it
or those wno cannot profit by it,
Practically everyone who has 'any
connection with the business of
training college students will
agree. There is a tremendous
amount of lost motion in our pres.
ent system, and a general revision
is imminent.
May we, then, repeat wlutt we
stated several weeks ago: "Acute
as the problems of higher educa
tion may be, solution is not less
education less training but bet
ter distribution of kinds of train
ing "
It Is no longer feasible to at
tempt to run every individual
