After a visit postponed for sev

likan will sneak at a nublic con
vocation at the university Tuesday
evening. April 9. It was during the
war that Dr. Millikan had ac
cepted another Invitation to speak

called to Washington. On several
occasions since that time the dean
has reminded him that he still
owed a visit to Nebraska.
"Dr. Millikan Is a great public
spirited scientist," says Dean Fer
guson, "who Indicates that his
studies in science rave oniy ocop
ened his religious feelings. Not
nn v tin hta rpsearcn meant mucn
to physics, but also to our field of
electrical engineering." Since the
war days wnen ur.. sninKan nna
planned to speak here, he haa been
awarded the Nobel prize for his
outstanding work in physics. After
mnnv vears of studv and research
he became the first man to make
an accurate measurement of the
electrical charge on the electron,
fjitr h became better known to
physicists for his confirmation of
Einstein a pnoio-eiecmc equauon.
Within the last ten years he baa
been studying cosmic rays.

some fifty outlined plans sne naa
received from universities thruout
the country, in an attempt to find,
and put into effect, a plan which
would work successiuny at ne-
The report on the experience of
Minnesota university with second
hand book stores, as received by
the committee, shows that the uni
versity now has two such stores.
Neither of them are run Dy ws
stndpnt bodv. but both are run by
campus organizations.
The first is a dook eiore ruu uy
the Women's Self Government Or
ganization. It is run by a student
manager selected by the Dean of
Women and tne stuaeni wuncu.
Th tnnnae'pr is naid 45 cents an
hour, and the assistants get 30
cents an hour. Tne siuaems can
ask three-fourths the original price

The secona oi Minnesota s sec

manager runs tne auup. oiuuima
become bondholders by paying five
dollars and at the end of the year
are refunded 16 percent of the
amount spent in the store that
year. When they leave school or
graduate they are refunded the
original deposit of five dollars.
This survey carried on by the
committee, composed of Lorraine
Hitchcock, Irving Hill, and Dick
Fischer, headed by Virginia Sel
leck, is intended to give the stu
dent body a chance to see how the
book store project can be carried
out, and to determine which of
these plans would be most suitable
for Nebraska.
Reports will soon be released
giving lists of all universities and
colleges having second hand book
stores with outlined data as to
how they are managed and as to
what procedure Is used.
Information is also being com
piled concerning schools which do
not have bookstores. Whether or
not these schools are trying to get
such a store and reasons are the
main interests of the survey. "We
have discovered," Lorraine Hitch
cock, committee member stated,
"that a number of the universities
who do not have bookstores have
many of the same problems with
which to contend that we have.
Over 50 percent of the schools who
