Dr Lowry C. Wimberiy, editor
of the Prairie Schooner, spoke
about the character of the Schoon
er and Herb Yenne, of the drama
tics department, gave several read
ings at the second report meeting
of the Prairie Schooner drive held
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
in Ellen Smith hall.
Dr. Wimberiy, In expressing his
appreciation to the girls who . are
working bnnfl-erTveTT-Std thai In
his experience he found that it was
becoming more and more neces
sary to depend on women to put
across a cultural enterprise. It
is the opinion of many authors,
Sherwood Anderson among them,
that the future of things cultural
will rest more with the women
than with the men, he said.
Groups AH Magazines.
He divided all magazines Into
three classes. The pulp magazines
which are found on news stands,
the slicks or glossy paper maga
zines of the type represented by
the Red Book, and the quality
magazines represented by Harper's
and the Atlantic Monthly. The
Prairie Schooner, he said, belongs
in the latter class and ought for
that reason to thrive and to be
known on the university campus.
The Schooner stands almost alone
as a representative of the quality
type of magazine in the Middle
West. It has managed to live
down a great many similar maga
zines. It should, therefore, merit
the Interest and support of both
students and faculty members.
In speaking of contributions to
the Schooner, Dr. Wimberiy stated
that he receives as many as 300 a
month from all parts of the United
States, from England, and from
many other parts of the world.
Moat of the contributions come
from New York. However, the
editors, wherever possible, give
preference to middle western
writers. Fifty percent of the con
tributions published are from Ne
braska writers, Dr. Wimberiy
said. A remarkable fact is that
tho it does not pay for contribu
tions printed, the Schooner re
ceives more manuscripts than it
canuse.

The Student council at its mid-

Editorial - and News Policy
Gains Confidence of
Readers, He Says.
PAPERS FACE PROBLEMS
"We can assure you honestly
that advertising does work at
least in our medium," Nate Levy,
who is in the national advertising
department of the Lincoln Star,
told members of Gamma Alpha
Chi, national advertising sorority,
at a meeting Tuesday night at
Ellen Smith hall.
"In the palmy days from "28 to
'30 the newspaper was a matter of
enjoyment and amusement to the
readers as well as to the editors.
Now there are grave problems to
be confronted every day for which
only a newspaper can disseminate
information for the people."
Mr. Levy described the stands
that his paper has taken on vari
ous questions and explained the
results of the vigorous editorial
policies which have been employed.
He went on to say that the success
of advertising in a newspaper is
directly connected with the policy
of the editorial and news columns,
in that confidence in the Integrity
of the paper leads to confidence in
the advertising.
"In national advertising we must
first contact the advertiser and
sell him on the Lincoln market,"
Mr. Levy said. For this purpose
many surveys are made of Lincoln
and the surrounding vicinity. Then
the jobber must be prevailed upon
to stock and feature the product.
The ads themselves are very im
portant and great care must be
taken that the plates reproduce
well, that the ml appears on a ben
eficial page, and on the best days.
"This type of advertising is suc
cessful," Mr. Levy concluded. "The
customers see the ad in the paper,
see the product in the stores, and
buy!"
The next meeting of Gamma Al
pha Chi will be held at Ellen Smith
hall Tuesday, March 20, at 7:30
o'clock when Mis3 Marie Wiesner,
advertising manager of Miller and
Paine's. will speak.
has been that for some places, pre
dictions are not better than chance
would lead one to expect.
"We do have slight success." he
said, "in foretelling weather
months in advance from the tem
peratures of sea water, from pre
vious weather in other parts of the
world, and from variations of the
sun exhibited by -epots on it This
success, however," Professor Alter
continued, "is not enough to use
for any purpose other than to
stimulate us to keep on trying in
the hope of better results, .in the
future."
A few years ago Professor Alter
compiled in a single paper 203
years of rainfall records for Eng
land. He declares that the men
and women who daily made these
readings during the two centuries
deserve the primary credit. With
