"THAT the new higher education must overhaul its curriculum if it is to keep pace with our present economic and social order is the substance of a statement made by Roger Babson recently in an article titled, "The Waste in Education of Time and Money." Careful surveys will be made to weigh and de termine the relative value of each subject taught in the university and college. "Unless the boy and girl is to become a teacher," says Babson, "it is a waste of their own time and their instructor's time that they be made to carry the entire curricular pro gram now required." What Mr. Babson wants, apparently, is a thoro weeding out of tha many required courses which characterize the modern university curriculum. But Mr. Babson's sentiments have been voiced before. Recently the University of Wisconsin appointed a faculty committee to overhaul the curriculum and eliminate unnecessary courses which appear far too frequently. Other institutions have similar pro grams under way. The North Central association's recent report to rate universities on quality rather than on quantity, may in a measure, reflect this tendency. Apparently Mr. Babson's indictments of univer sity curriculums, in many Instances, are true. While the movement is quite obviously in Its infancy it is cause for some optimism. Universities are at least attempting to readjust their curriculums to meet the demands of a new economic and social order. 'J'HIS week Nebraska students will be exposed to the annual spring registration fiasco. As is cus tomary, most of the registering will be completed during the latter part of the week. Students, of necessity, will register hurriedly. This is unfortu nate, for correct registration is more of an art than most students are willing to admit. It does not con itifit simply In registering for "pipes" or required courses. Careful consideration and weighing of all fac tors Involved should be made before a course is de cided upon. Students often make the mistake of registering for a course caring little who teaches It Rather is the prime consideration whether he can "get by" with a good grade. It would be to their advantage to know the professor who offers the course. In many Instances the entire subject is built around the man. Students desiring to get by will find something far more beneficial In expe riencing the personality and methods of the profes sor than the subject matter with which the course deals. In many instances, however, students will re gister for courses required by the curriculum which are unnecessary or of little vaiue to the student's cultural background. Others will register for "pipes." Both instances may indicate that the cur riculum is in need of an overhauling. Both may In dicate, too, that curriculums originally intended for another age, are not designed to meet the demands of a new era. Doun the Home Stretch. CTUDENTS have started down the home stretch of the present school year. With nothing but the dull routine of attending classes the next two weeks to occupy their time, and final examinations starting May 23, It becomes a stark realization that the year is about gene. Commencement week will hold much significance for many seniors. It will climax four years of university life. For others it will hold little appeal. They will return to school next fall. The suddenes with which the semester draws to a close leaves many with a feeling of wonder ment It is a time for stock taking. During the next few weeks many students will pause momen tarily to account for the past year. For some the university may have been a fruitful one. Scholars were awarded fitting distinc tion. P. B. K.s and others were the subjects for many key hangings. Students who entered the uni versity with the idea that high scholarship was a great virtue of university life in all events were rewarded for exrellpnre in scholastic activity. And at the same time, activity people will pause to check up on the labors of the past year. Many students find the same holy cow in this field of interest that scholars find in scholastic honoraries. Many of them were awarded distinction for out- standing work la extra-curricular activities. But both fields of student Interest have ceased . activity for tha year. Extra curriculara, for the moat part, have finished their enterprises for tha present Student will attend classes. Many will find the next two weeks a period to catch up on Another Step to Oust Politics. vTTH the announcement Monday by the Inter . fraternity council of its new method of selecting officers and rotating the positions between the two political factions, another step In the Greek govern ing body's task of removing politics from within its organization has been completed. This further move indicates that revisions made last fall were sincere beyond doubt. It is unfortunate that such a system of handing out Greek council offices must be resorted to but experience proves only too well its necessity. It is not a far cry to the day when council offices and ijiterfraternlty ball committee appointments were political plums of highest order. Innocents were made overnight by shaking the bountiful Interfra ternity tree and its fruits came to be prized factional heritages. The minority party received whatsoever it did by the will of the majority faction. Today the Interfraternity council is a vastly different organization. With its membership limited to senior men and with all committee work being done by them, the council is, perhaps, as nearly free of the influence of political climbers and activity workers as is possible. A committee on committees, composed equally of members from the two factions, handles all committee appointments and removes these posts from the favors and prejudices of one officer. Tonight two council offices will be awarded each faction. Positions which one party receives this year will pass to the other faction next year. The committee on committees will nominate two men from a faction for each post that faction is to receive, and the council will choose between the two nominees. The committee on committees will be function ing in one of its most important capacities today In its selection of nominees. In male circles, the selec tions will be viewed with much interest and it is to be hoped that they will conform to the general spirit of less politics which seems to have marked the council's actions this year. Contemporary Comment Drop Your Chains, University Women. The time has com for Northwestern women to take up cudgels for themselves. For many years men students have led the fight for modernization of women's rules, but after all men don't live in closely supervised houses. Is the Northwestern woman content to have her house rules made for her by others ? Is she willing to be childishly protected from staying out late ? It would seem that she is. Thus far no amount of male encouragement, headed by the Daily Northwestern has sufficed to make women students get together and decide under what conditions they wish to live. Men living in dormitories and fraternity houses make their own house rules. When gradea seem to require it members are forbidden to leave the house on certain nights. The men themselves are their own mentors. Is there any reascn why women are less capable of taking care of themselves? The Dally Northwestern believes that each so rority house and dormitory should have the priv ilege of making its own house rules and enforcing them as it sees fit. These rules could be subject to revision whenever members believe it necessary They would not be of the unchangeable sort that they are now. Houses which wish to keep under the existing order of hours would have perfect freedom to do so. Houses believing that they could function as well under a more lenient system could do as they thought best Northwestern women are not satisfied with the rules decreed by the dean's office. Ten out of ten girls living on campus will say that. Yet they must realize that it is only by them that rules can be changed. Passive submission to whatevpr is pushed upon them is going to leave them exactly where they are now. If the college woman believes that she is capable of governing ber own personal life, she must insist that the boarding-school rules of today be changed. When she does this, she will be ready to govern herself, and she will do so. Daily Northwestern. For Students Who Cram. Only two weeks of classes remain before final examinations will mark the close of another school year. Now is the time for students who have been dilatory in studying to " turn it on." Those who have studied conscientiously have no need to exert themselves overmuch in preparation, but a far larger number will be forced to utilize fully every spare minute of their time during examination week. To those who study little during the semester, the courses is which they are enrolled are of prac tically no value. The time spent in school might have been utilized elsewhere more profitably. Science has proved that one of the requisites of lasting knowledge cf a subject Is spaced learning, and that "cramming" certainly is not conducive to retention of knowledge. To some it may be no disgrace to flunk out of college, but most certainly It is not a credit to any one. No matter what the purpose of the student in attending college, he will find much more satisfac tion in passing his courses creditably than in flound ering through them. The unprepared student should take full ad vantage of all his available time. Now is the time to begin reviewing for finals. It may be too late during examination week. Indiana Dally Student acta of the administration, was that the country should have a conservative fiscal policy and no in flationary excesses. He resigned his position last December. In his private life Woodin was a man of many hobbles. His favorite pastime was the composition, and it is probate that he would have preferred to devote all of his time to composing music and playing the guitar, of which he was very fond. That his music was considered worthy of note Is shown by the fact that many of his works had received in ternational recognition, some of his symphonies having been played by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin, the Manhattan Symphony Orchestra, and many others. One of his latest compositions was the "Franklin Delano Roosevelt March." In addi tion he was an enthusiastic collector of English prints, and he haa a fine collection of rare coins, stamps, and butterflies. Woodin had been associated with big business since his birth. His father owned the iron-foundry industry, and later the company entered other branches of the iron and steel manufacturing busi ness. He started to work in his father's plant after leaving the Columbia University School of Mines. He finally rose to the position of president of the firm and then left to Join the American Car and Foundry Company. When he assumes the position of secretary of the treasury, he resigned many Im portant and well-paying positions with numerous large firms in the Iron and steel industry. Modern science triumphantly added resuscita tion to its list of triumphs when a shabby little dog, dead for eight minutes, was brought back to life by the use of iijectlons. The experiments were carried out at the University of California by Dr. Robert E. Cornish, working on CWA funds. The first dog used, appropriately named Lazarus II, lived for eight hours and thirteen minutes, whining, panting and barking. An injection of glucose solution meant to speed his recovery caused a blood clot, and the dog died again. Lazarus III lived only five hours. Lazarus IV was killed on Friday the thirteenth. After being dead eight minutes, he was placed to a teeterboard, and a saline solution saturated with oxygen, and containing liver extract, adrenalin, and a blood soup with the coagulating substance re moved, was forced Into his veins. Soon his heart began to beat, faintly, then a leg twitched, and Lazarus IV was alive. The dog has been growing stronger since, but still crawls around weakly, eat ing a half-pound of liver, milk, eggs, and oatmeal daily. It has never recovered its complete mentai facilities, and recently developed a head cold, which will probably impair its progress. Where Dr. Cornish has failed in his few at tempts to resuscitate human beings, Dr. Albert Hy man, Harvard medical graduate, has had some suc cess. Dr. Hyman has regained life for over a hun dred humans who died from some shock or accident that did not impair the vital organs, by means of a five inch gold needle which Is plunged directly Into the heart, with the current of a tiny electric genera tor, reproducing the work of the dead heart cells. Dr. Hyman has noted that the resuscitation must be made within twelve minutes after the death has taken place, or brain deterioration would probably make the revived patient insane. Dr. Hyman has resuscitated an experimental dog of his own thirteen times with his gold needle. all the mothers and alumnae mem bers. Mrs. C. Petrus Peterson '08 a mother and an alumna, gave the response.

Dr. B. Clifford Hendricks, asso ciate profesfor of chemistry, pre sented a paper on the subject, "Thermochmical Study of Glu conic Acid and Its Modifications." Also on Friday morning Dr. H. Armin Pagel, assistant chemistry professor, read a paper on "An Attempt to Prepare Anhydrous Cobaltus Oxide," which was based on the experimentations of a grad uate student. At the Friday afternoon session, Dr. M. R. Stevinson and Dr. Cliff S. Hamilton colloborated in pre senting a paper on "The Catalytic Reduction of Organic Arsenicals." W. E. Craig, a graduate student in chemistry, with the heip of Dr. Hamilton, gave the following dis cussion: "The Reactivity of Nuc lear Chlorine in Organic Arsenic als." Walter D. Albert, also a graduate student, with Dr. Fred W. Upson, chairman cf the unl v e r s i t y chemistry department, spoke on "The Action of Barium Hydroxide on the Monobastic Su gar Acids." At the Friday morning session, Dr. E. Roger Washburn, assistant professor of chemistry, and Ben jamin H. Handorf, a graduate stu dent, presented a discussion of "The Measurement of the Rate of Hydrolysis of Methyl Acetate by a Study of Surface Tension." Dr. Hendricks and Ralph W. Tyler pre sented a discussion at the same time before the chemical education division on "Testing for a Mastery of the Principals of Chemistry." Those attending the convention were especially interested in hear ing Robert A. Millikan, noted physicist of Pasadena, Calif., who was one of the outstanding speak ers. Dr. Millikan, who spoke on the subject, "Some Recent Ad vances in Nuclear Physics," re ceived his A. B. degree at Oberlin college in 1891, and his A. M. in 1893. He received his Ph. D. from Columbia university in 1895. He studied at the Universities of Ber lin and Goettingen, and was grant ed his Sc. D. from Oberlin in 1911. In 1922 he was first exchange pro feesor to Belgium of the C R, B. foundation. He was awardpd the Nobel prize in physics in 1923. He is also well known as the author or co-author of over a dozen text books on physics and general science, and as a contributor to technical journals on physics. Another outstanding speaker on the program of the meeting was LeRoy C. Stewart, who wpoke on "The Commercial Extraction of Bromine from Sea Water."

Annually at the college of agriculture on the eve of Farmers' Fair comes the presentation of the goddess of agriculture. To b their 1934 goddess the students chose Lorraine Brake of Lincoln, a a senior in home economics. In a ceremony at the prefair dance Thursday night the goddess and her six attendants were presented to the students. Ruth Cars ten of Clatonia, Junior, sang a song she had written for the occasion, 'and the seven honored women appeared on the flower laden plat- iform, summoned by the sojtgr) - year; the O. J.

FRATERNITY COUNCIL PICKS NEW OFFICERS AT TUESDAY MEETING (Continued from Page 1.) ir The committee on committees for next year will be chosen by the new president by ana wun me aavice or me iacuiiy sponsors. Suoervision of individual fra ternity budgets by the recently created alumni boara oi control will also be discussed at Tuesday's meeting, Thiel declared. "Tuesday's meeting will be of utmost importance to all houses," Thiel asserted, "and it is essential that all fraternities have both their junior and senior representa tives present. Junior men must as sume the work of the council im mediately and it is Imperative that they be present to start their du ties at once. TRADITIONAL TANKINGS. CLEANUP PARTY, DIN NER FOR WORKERS, OFF ICIALLY ENDS 1934 FAR MERS FAIR ACTIVITIES SUNDAY (Continued from Page L) came the ice cream. One five gal lon freezer disappeared, then an other, then another and then part of another. No one looked hungry when the dinner was over. And nobody felt like work. Happily, there was little work left to be done. The coercion com mittee checked their lists and found a boy who hadn't worked enough to suit his committee chairman. Into the tank he went. But he was wise and had put on his bathing suit under his overalls. Into the tank went another stu dent. He too had been wise and wore his bathing suit that morning. One girl got tossed in not clear in, just stood up in the water. And she even got to take off her shoes and stockinsrs first. Then the women conspired, picked up a jun ior fair board member, and threw him into the tank. A few others got tossed in. No one was drowned and by noon Monday no one had contracted pneumonia. The coercion committee, Chair roan Clyde Card said, would com plete the official tanking of slack ers after military drill Monday night. But Manager Peterson said there would be few to tank. He said he believed there had been few fairs when the students rolled up their sleeves and did the job better than the ag students did last Saturday.
