address on how far a planned and
controlled system of government
activity may be carried, favored
intelligent control, and warned the
assembly that there is danger of
absolutism in any planned system
and America, in listening to radi
cals and idealists too much, mirbt
take the same attitude as Russia
and Germany, both of whom have
made the mistakes of rigorously
and ruthlessly subjugating every
thing in their systems.
In pointing out that movies con
stitute an important educational
factor of American life Prof. C.
Walter Hayes, Rockford college
sociologist, declared that "effec
tive control of the motion picture
influence lies chiefly In the regula
tion by the people of their motion

Tribute was paid to Prof. Earl
Bell, professor of anthropology at
the university, in an address given
before the assembly Friday night
by W. Duncan Strong, member of
the Smithsonian Institute staff
and former faculty member of the
university sociology department.
Praise was also given to the state
of Nebraska for her enormous
strides forward in archeology.
The university gives some of
the theories, but the best way to
learn archeology is on the end of
a trowel or a shovel in the field."

Beauty and Beast,
2,200 Pound Buffalo, Arrive at Museum
Beauty and the beast are repre
sented by the newly mounted ani
mals in the university museum In
Morrill hall. Illustrating beauty
and daintiness are the group of
four dik-diks; and to take the part
of the beast is a huge 2.200 pound
Cape buffalo. All these animals
came from Africa, and are a part
of the Adam Breede collection pre
sented to the museum.
Dik-dik is the nick-name Riven
to the group of miniature African
antelope, smallest of all the spe
cies. .So few of them have ever
been captured alive that no one is
able to discover much about their
habits of living. It is known they
graze and est the leaves and
grasses, snd that they are easily
tamed. Their little antlers are
very sharp, but they seldom use
them, depending mostly upon their
lightning-like speed for protection
These little animals are not
quite as large as an ordinary rab
bit, and their bodies are supported
on sroan pipe-stem legs, to catch
the dik-diks, it is said the Arabians
throw sticks at the legs and break
them.
The beast, is a Cape buffalo, re
ported to be the most ferocious and
dangerous of all African animals.
Many are the stories told of the
fierceness and valor in battle of
this species of buffalo. It is said
he can overthrow an elephant, and
is generally more than a match for
a tiger. Fighting with horns and
hoofs, he may even push down
trees to get at the prey which has
angered him. Experienced hunt
ers have great respect for him, and
find him willing to fight until he is
dead.
Standing- in the museum this
great beast is in a challenging
pose. His head is down, and the
heavy muscles of his body stand
out as proof of his enormous
strength. His horns are ready for
the toss. In structure they grow
almost completely over the skull
which antedate anything shown
tonight."
He told of the finds he had
made on a trip to the Spanish Hon
duras, illustrating his lecture with
slides and motion pictures. The i
expedition was perilous as United
States marines had recently been
withdrawn from the country. "'The
Sandino patriots or bandits as you
wisn to can mem were overrun- i
ning the country. We kept guards
posted constantly, ready to take
the brush if necessity demanded,"
be said.
Strong told of many interesting
archeological finds made in that
region and explained the habits
and life of the native peoples.
"Some of the natives of this region
wear clothing made of bark. They
have no salt or tobacco but trade
other necessities for them," he
stated.
He described urn burials, when
human skulls are placed around
the urns. He also told much of the
background of the country, the
influence of Cortes in protecting
the people from slave traders, and
the raids of buccaneers.
Approximately 150 attended the
dinner, Professor Gayle C. Walker
of the School of Journalism intro
duced Dr. Strong, and Professor
Lam-rence Void thanked the vari
ous committees for their work.
UNIVERSITY STARTS
CURRICULUM STUDY
(Continued from Page 1).
Question. There is only one way
by which to make those electives
available, according: to the bulletin
which announces the plans for this
project. That is to offer tbem by
supervised correspondence study,
the bulletin continues.
Studies Under Supervision.
With these courses the high
school pupil studies a regularly al
lotted time and under the super
vision of a teacher who sees that
proper conditions for study are
provided and that there is encour
agement and motivation when they
are needed.
Because instructors in small
schools, both elementary and high
school teachers, have so many
preparations to make and so many
classes to meet their teaching' is
apt to be inferior, remarks the bul
letin. The individualised materials
that are prepared for use as su
pervised correspondence courses
and other self-teaching materials
aid in relieving the teachers of
these handicaps. Assignments Are
already prepared, tests and key6
are provided, and the pupil is even
directed and motivated In his
study.
This marks the siKth year that
the university extension division
has offered supervised correspond
ence courses to high school stu
dents. Now 60 high school courses
are available, most of which have
been added in the last three years.
Directors of the project believe
several hundred of these courses
can be made available and prac-

Group of 4 Dik-Diks,
at, their base, and are reported to
be tough enough to stop a bullet.
For those soecimens Nebraska
and the university are Indebted to
the late Adam Breede, hunter and
adventurer. He has become al
most a tradition in Hastings and
the part of the state in which he
lived so long. Starting out as a
youth in the printing business, his
ability as writer and business man
aided him to make a name for him
self as newspaper publisher.
His old friends remember the
flowing black tie which he always
wore, and which made him stand
out from the crowd. His broad
brimmed hat was the other mem
orable piece of wearing apparel
constantly with him. He is re
membered as a public-spirited clt-
ien, and a man with firm beliefs.
In his book, "Adventuring," Mr,
Breede has described a buffalo
hunt "We were having an ant
mated discussion, when, without
the slightest warning, a lone buf
falo with lowered head made a
mad charge upon the crowd," he
writes. "The discussion was ended
instantly and everybody made a
rush to safety. Porters and gun
bearers climbed trees like monkeys
while Stanton and I jumped behind
a big tree just as the bull rushed
madly into a dense thicket close
by. There wasn't a gun within
twenty feet of us, as they had been
stacked when the discussion was
started. That lone bull charging
our entire army took all the nerve
out of the natives and they posi
tively refused to make a further
search for the buffaloes I had shot
the day before."
More than a dozen animals are
yet to be mounted for the museum
from the collection of this hunter,
most of them unusual and beauti
ful. According to Dr. E. H. Bar
bour, director of the museum, the
next two groups to arrive will be
that of the hyaena, and that of
cheetah, hunting cat.

Field Parties Discover Specimens in
Northwest Nebraska, Shedding New
Light on History Early American Man
Ideas and bones have hern picked up in great unantitiis in
northwestern Nebraska during the summer by field parties for
the university museum. With the return of the workers an.!
the final shipment of freshly dug specimens, the field men have
counted some of the results of the season.
Evidence on the ancient weaponsO
used by early man in this state
has been uncovered which def
initely points to the date when
man inhabited America, according
to C Bertrsnd Schults, senior field
man with the parties.
"It is the best information we
have 5-et secured," Schulu said,
"and geologists who have exam
ined the finds believe the evidence
points to the late Pleistocene pe
riod as the date . of early man,
rather than, the more recent
period."
Artifacts, weapons and imple
ments of ancient Nebraska inhabi
tants were found in association
with deposits of extinct bison and
mammoth remains. Two unusual
sabre toothed tiger skeletons were
uncovered by the searchers, and
are to be set up before a back
ground painted in the museum by
Elizabeth Dolan.
Discover Oreodont Remains.
Remains of many oreodonts, dog
like animals, were discovered, and
among them two very rare ex
amples. Ordinarily the specimens
of the species are hoofed, but this
pair had claws. Only one such
skeleton has ever been mounted in
this country, according to the field
workers.
At Valentine the searchers un
covered a quarry of small deer,
which furnished a larger collection
of this kind of animal than the
entire collection of the type known
previously in all the museums of
the country together.
