GOVERNOR IS DESCRIBED
Lincoln Man Writes First
Biography in New
Series.
Containing a short liiograpliy
of Nebraska's new governor,
Rov Tj. Cochran, besides a rib
endangering lninior story that
editor L. C. Wimberly consid
ers a laugh-getter for all time,
the coming issue of the Prairie
Schooner reflects the recent ef
forts of the staff to popularize the
magazine by including in it more
entertaining features. Besides the
usual array of articles, poems and
fiction which the late winter issue
contains. Dr. Wimberly also an
nounces three new departments
entitled Midwestcrners, Bibliana,
and Crossroads.
The Midwesterners department
opens with Saar Erickson's inter
pretation of the life of Nebraska s
No. 1 man. Mr. Erickson is court
house reporter for the Lincoln
Star. It is the opinion of the edi
tors of the Schooner, that while
Mr. Cochran fits the governor's
iob. few people really know the
man. He is the first of the promi
nent men of this section of the
country that the Schooner will in

Dwight Perkins, university arts
and science junior, portrays his
fun frolic, "A. G. Vodding vs.

Supplementing the university

the entire eclipse, by several still
picture exhibitions of the shadow
phenomenon and three speakers
whose explanations covered the op
erations which campus astronom
ers and photographers engaged in
a week ago, the physics club pro
gram Friday evening featured
most of the highlights of the uni
versity's recent eclipse study. The
speakers were Prof. O. C. Collins,
curator of the observatory who
supcrvis?d the procedure, Richard
Hufnagle, campus photographer,
and Ralph Menke, astronomy
major.
Screened before approximately
125 people in the large Brace Lab
lecture room, the five minute
movie reel, which was the main at
traction of the evening, showed
the moon's shadow on the sun
from its first contact at 8:5.r a. m.
until its final contact two hours
and ten minutes later. During the
tnitial exposures as the nmall
crescent-shaped shadow first ap
peared, the top of the library
building, which fell in the line of
view between the camera lenses
and the sun. was seen to receed
from the picture.
Film one of Best.
Because the exposures were
planned to include the two hour
eclipse in a fie minute film, all of
the action or movement in the reel
was speeded up about thirty times.
While this did not affect the ap
pearance of the eclipse except to
shorten the time in which it was
tm on the screen, it caused the
clouds which came into view to
race by with lightning rapidity.
When the eclipse reached its maxi
mum at about 10 o'clock, the
shadow crescent occupied a little
less than half of the sun s face. Al
thn the film was marred by few
defects from traffic vibration or
other causes, observers stated they
are of the opinion that it is one of
the best that has been obtained.
Prior to the showing of the
film. C. F. Rust, club sponsor, in
troduced three speakers, the first
of whom was Prof essor ColHns.
Mr. Coiiins discussed tfcc prepara

Inventors of Phone
Booth Advertising
Receive Copyright
Perhaps you've wondered who
was clever enough to invent the
directory and advertising plaque
found in the telephone booths of
every sorority and fraternity house
on the campus. Two university
students have kept it quiet as long
as possible, but their success now
deserves mention. Harold Soder
land, senior in the college of Arts
and Sciences, Lincoln, and Alfred
Adams, junior in Law college, also
from Lincoln, are the enterprising
gentlemen concerned.
Now that the plaque has been
copyrighted, the boys are expand
ing the sales, with the purpose of
placing their products on as many
campuses in the United States as
possible. The Universities of Mis
souri and Kansas have just recent
ly installed the plaques. Tom Pat
terson, Omaha, is on the Univer
sity of Minnesota campus at this
time, acting as salesman.
The returns from this original
Idea have helped both students
thru school, and they now intend
to go into the advertising business.

You Would Seem
Intelligent Do Mot
Laugh at Any Puns
By Eleanor Clizbe.
People of high intelligence don't
laugh at puns, according to Pro
fessor Richard N. Sears of Har
vard. He based this conclusion on
a bit of research involving the col
lection of a series of puns which
were considered sure "laugh get
ters." These he sprung on a group
of students from time to time.
Those in the habit of getting "A"
grades just sat back and greeted
each sally with a mounrful coun
tenance, but those with low marks
laughed uproariously, he reported.
(P-s-s-t! Maybe the "A" students
didn't ge the gags).
However, it seems that some of
our university professors beg to
disagree with Professor Sears. Dr.
J. P. Guilford, professor of psy
chology, thinks that "they must
have used dumbbell puns in the ex
periments." He says, "Intelligent
people see humor in puns if they
are subtle enough." Dr. W. E.
Walton professor of psychology
states:

Oklahoma university put an

Six basketball record Saturday
night, coming off with a top
honor score of 38-32 after i
walk-away first half but a hectic
ally fought second period.
The Sooners had little difficulty
for the most part during an entire
half of the basketball game played
on the Norman rink, but it was
only a 26 to 6 advantage piled up
before the intermission period that'
finally won a ball game and en
abled' them to keep a firm grip on
third place in Big Six standings.
The defeat, however, coupled with
Missouri's win over Kansas State,
shoved the Huskers into fifth
place in the conference, and it's
now developed into a dual with
Kansas State to stay out of the
bottom berth. Nebraska has now
been precipitated from first to
fifth position in an unbroken to
boggan like slide.
Both teams started slowly, with

Thursday, Feb. 14.
OVER FIFTY IN ENSEMBLE
Russian Czars, French Bourbon
kings, and other European royal
ties have thrilled to the art of the
Russian ballet. Now, for what is
perhaps the first time, Nebraskans
will see this thrilling stage spec
tacle when Col. W. deBasil's Ballet
Russe de Monte Carlo comes to the
university the evening of Thurs

Serge Diaghilev brought his Ballet
Russe to the eastern cities of this
country has there been a complet

the United States.
Col. de Basil's company com
prises fifty Russian artists. He or
ganized his troupe of artists in
1930, shortly after the death of
that famous Russian master, who
appeared here nearly twenty years
ago. He is a foimer officer of the
czar and at one time directed the
Russian opera In Paris. Credit is
given him for preserving the Rus
sian art from perishing with the
passing of Diaghilev.
Touring this country with their
own symphony orchestra and a
complete staff of stage and light
ing experts, the company brings
an unusual corps of ranking per
formers. Among them are such
dancers as Tamara Toumanova,

and Lichine. Even members of the
