Heturns in the nation -wide htudent council poll to secure information on n second hand hook exchange nre nearly com plete, Calista Cooper, council committee chairman, announced Thursday. Questionnaires were sent to student councils in all principal universities of the coun try late in December. Material gathered in the cam paign will be assembled and classi fied by the committee immediately, and presented to the council for action at an early date. Determi nation of the best method to ad minister a student second hand book exchange will be attempted from a study of the many systems in effect at other schools. "We have already noted three outstanding plans that will receive much consideration by the commit tee," Jack Fischer, council presi dent, declared. "Those plans in use at the universities of Washington, Texas, and Colgate have proved highly effective, and might well work on the Nebraska campus." Almost all of the schools contacted had some type of second hand book, exchange in operation, and in the few schools that had none, there were movements on the campuses for their organization, according to the letters. The questionnaires obtained in formation on the history of the plans iruuste at other schools, man agement, profits, and size, if they are under the supervision of the university or students. All data will be systematically compiled, and results may be sent to other schools which are seeking the best plan for their own use. This is the second move of the council committee in preparation for an active campaign for estab lishment of a student or university owned and operated used book ex change. Figures have been com piled determining the number of used books bought and sold as well as the percentage of the original cost received upon resale. These figures were taken from the infor mation ballots in the fall elec tions. Chancellor Burnett Opens Annual Meeting With Address.

COUNCIL POL BOOK EXCHANGES COMPLETE ON ILL DRILLERS BEGIN ON THURSDAY Student Participation in Paris Riots Of Year Ago Recalled by Instructor On First Anniversary of Disturbance As shown by their participation in Paris' memorable fracas of a year hro, Feb. 6, VJlii, Miss Harbaru ypoerry, French in structor, is convinced French university .students are every bit as political minded as those of the United States. Miss Spoerry was in France last year during the bloody riots precipitated by the Stavisky scandal, royal em-O bezzlement case. "Students are inclined to be pretty radical," Miss Spoerry said, "but student thought is not the major radical menace to the unstable cabinets of France, as is sometimes believed in this country." Recalling the hectic days of last February in France because of the present tenseness in that country caused by the fear of a duplica tion of last year's riots. Miss Spocrry related incidents of riot ing in which students were the main actors. They put on demon strations such as parades and burning of effigies. These effigies were usually replicas of some of METHODISTS TO HAVE ISTER-RAC1AL SERVICE Churches Celebrate Dale Annually the Week Before Feb. 12.

PICTURES OF ECLIPSE Film Taken by Hufnagle to Be Shown, Explained at Friday Meeting. AFFAIR OPEN TO PUBLIC In rnniunotion with a short film. showing the entire course of the moon s shadow across the sun in the recent eclipse, there will be two speakers, Richard Hufnagle, u n i v e r s ity photographer, and Ralph Menke, astronomy major, on the physics club eclipse-program to be held Friday evening, Feb. 8, in Brace Laboratory. Both talks will concern interpretations of the pictures as well as some ex planation of the shadow-phenomenon. Besides the five-minute moving picture film, there will be a series of stills, which will show the eclipse thru all of its phases. These shots, which were taken by Dr. T. T. Smith, physics professor, and by Hufnagle and Menke, will show the great shadow at ten minute intervals during the two hours in which the moon ob structed the full view of the sun In his address Mr. Menke will out line the nroceedure that is fol lowed in still photography of a moving ODject ana aiso explain some of the precautions that must Ho taken. He will also discuss the causes of eclipses and further ex plain the pnenomenon. After the film has been shown, Mr. Hufnagle, who co-operated with the astronomy and physics de partments in making the reel, will relate in full the manner in which this difficult feai in photography was accomplished. Mr. Hufnagle was the cameraman at the univer sity observatory last Sunday, Feb. 3, when the film was taken. The complicated clock-work mechan ism which kept the camera cen tered on the sun during two hours of the eclipse, despite the rotation of the earth, will be explained. Professor Collins, who is in charge of the observatory, was in charge oi uie maKing or me mm. He was assisted by Mr. Rust of the physics department in guiding the telescope to maintain the correct focus during the time that the 4.200 exposures wer-- made. Pro fessors Spencer and Smith of the physics department also aided in the tedious task of making the film. It was pointed out by these obsei-vers that the film, which is believed to be one of the best that was taken, was made possible only by the co-operation of several de partments of the university. Because this program is thought to be of wide-spread interest among students as well as among others not on the campus, the Fpon"-s and president of the physics club have extended an in vitation to all wha are interested to attend the program. The film will be snown in uie ugr room on the second floor of Brace Laboratory beginning at 7 p. m.

PHYSICS GROUPVIEWS the many ministers who had a fin ger in the enormously large pork pie that had irritated the people. She stated that the frenzy of most of the rioters would have been suf ficient to cause the ministers in stead of their effigies to be thrown into the Seine or burned, had the former been accessible. This zeal for revenge on the part of students, peasants, and educated people is not difficult to under stand, according to Miss Spoerry, considering the magnitude of the Stavisky fraud as well as the num ber of officials who were involved.

Latest returns of the Literary Digest peace poll indicate an in creasing number of Nebraska stu dents would refuse to bear arms for the United States if their coun try was the invader. Semi-final returns show that 1,165 Nebraska students would refuse to bear arms while a few over 300 voted they would be willing to aid in at tack. The closest Nebraska vote is on the question of United States en try into the League of Nations. Tl policy of United States en try into the league continues to meet disfavor here bs 808 Nebras kans rejected the idea as compared with 694 favoring the entrance. Of the 90.000 students in 115 Ampriran colleges lust half, or j 50.17 percent of the total vote.ad- vocate United states entry. On the question, "Would you bear arms if the United States was invaded," 1,331 Nebraska stu dents have voted "yes' while 177 would not. This is in accordance with the sentiment voiced in other colleges where S3 percent of the vote favors taking arms in case of invasion. Nebraska students fol low the belief of other student vot ers that the nation could avoid an other major conflict. Nebraska voted by more than a two to one majority that the United States can avoid war. Universal conscription of all capital and labor resources con tinues to be met with favor by Ne braska students. A 1.260 to 249 vote from Nebraska favors this policy, according to latest tabu lations. Conscription leads by an overwhelming majority of more than forty thousand in the total balloting of all colleges. The plu rality of both local and national votes favors the control of muni tions manufacture to take the profit out of war. By a vote of 695 to 620, Ne braska students have voiced oppo sition to the national policy that a navy and air force second to none is a sound method of insur ing the United States against be ing drawn into another great war. On this policy there is a greater number of affirmative votes at Ne braska than is seen in the gen eral returns where the vote now stands at 58.025 opposing the pol icy and 33,870 favoring it.

Some of the gems which have been laboriously coi-w lected are listed below. xneir humor (like that of "Dumbelle Letters") lies in their pathos, their simple sincerity.
