PARTY SET FOR NOV
Intramurals Provide Athletics for
All; Offer Plenty of Competition
Among Students at the University
Sports for eeryouc who cares to play is summed up at
Nebraska in one word intramural. Americans have been la
menting the fact lUzt schools in this country did not offer
panics for the "fun of it." WeJl, here they arc, right out on
the prairie in ir middle of these United Slates.
It is said the terra Intramural uo
combination of Latin meaning
"within the walls." Anyway, the
Idea is that competition takes
place, not with outside schools or
individuals but among university
students themselves.
Athletics for every man Is not
new at the university, and its trial
tor several years has brought the
governing rules dowr to fine
points, but the growth has been
rapid. This year intramural events
are occupying a more important
place on the campus than in any
other year. Harold G. Petz is see
ing ti that. He is now director of
this phase of athletics, and bis
p'.ans for the semesters are ambi
tious. Husker fans will remember
Pttz as a letter man in both track
and football and In of1 hours be
coaches the football "B" team.

Worcester Writes
Psychology Article
For School Review
An article "On the Validity of
Testing" by Dr. D. A. Worcester,
chairman of the university depart
ment of educational psychology
and measurements, was published
in the September number of "The
School Review."
Dr. Worcester points out that
the main objection to the use of
the discussion test for students is
hat no practice has been given
them in class along that line. He
believes the method of answering
test questions should be brought
along with the subject. Instruc
tors ought to make their tests fol
low the aims of their teaching,
since different tests measure dif
ferently, ho contends.

Paper on State's
Land Problems
Dr. G. E. Condra of the conser

written a paper tor tne new ie'
braska Blue Book. He discusses
three subjects: Land Use in Ne
braska; Erosion Investigation and
Control in this State; and Ground
Water Resources of Nebraska.
In this work Dr. oCndra notes
that nearly 3,000,000 of Nebraska's
49,000,000 acres of land are used
for public purposes. His figures
show that the university owns
5.666 acres of this. Within corpor
ate limits in the state are some 296
square miles of land. Half of Ne
braska's acres are still in native
pasture land, while much of the
rest is in cultivation, according to
Dr. oCndra.

week of the drive," Miller stated,
"and final awards will be made
members of the pep club possess
ing the largest totals for the entire
campaign."
Emphasizing that the book is
primarily for future reference, Mil

as a means of obtaining a complete
record of school life. "People, ac
tivities and all social life are com
pletely represented in both copy
and pictures, and every conceiv
able phase of school from athletic
effort to religious functions is in
cluded between its covers," Miller
stated.
"Speaking of covers," Miller
added, "an entirely new padded
type, considered by many to be
the most beautiful yearbook cover
on any annual throughout the na
tion, will be embodied in the 1935

heavy boards on the inside with
felt padding placed between the
boards and th eembossed covering
