SUNDAY, MAY 12, 1935. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN TOREK OKLAHOMA TAKES B7 TO 63 VICTORY OVER HUSKERMEN Sooners Race Home to Win In Relay for Track Meet Honors. It took sdmebody fifteen years, but Friday the Univer sity of Oklahoma Sooners did it and handed Henry F. Sehul te's Scarlet and Cream attired eindermen their first defeat in an outdoor track meet on the home grounds since the "Indian" took over Nebraska track destinies a decade and a half aero. The final acore tallied 67 1-3 to 63 2-3 after an Oklahoma four aome raced to a smashing; mile re lay victory for five points and meet honors. The Huskers had skinned thru to a 1 1-3 lead in the track and field events before the final race of the program found them lacking some 20 yards at the tape. With the Oklahoma dual, the Schultemen closed their pre-con ference compet, and will for the next week turn their attention to regaining the Big Six title, held by Kansas u., and wmcn Kansas State is pursuing with the ability and determination of the setter. Friday's dual was interesting all the way, with hair-breath finishes and hard struggling for points all along the line spicing the meet for the fans. Failure of Harold Jacobsen, Big Six indoor sprint champ, to take his customary two first places in the 100 and 220 dampened Husker spirit as well as cut into the point column, but Lloyd Cardwell took some of the sting out of this by breezing down the century straightaway in 9.8 seconds, with a slight following wind. Three other sophomores turned In exceptional performances for the Scarlet, Lester Pankonin over coming a five yard lead held by Janz of Oklahoma for a thrillirg first place in the 440; Sam Francis stretching the shot put out 47 feet 4 inches; and Stanley Haight bouncing home to a victory in the 220 low hurdles.

OF ADULTLIFE SPANS Columbia Professor Finds Life Varies With Optic Lens Elasticity. WASHINGTON. April 7. A sign of death lurks in every hu man eye, believes Felix Bernstein of Columbia university. Professor Bernstein says he es tablished a definite relationship be tween the length of life, barring accidents, and the elasticity of the human eye. At the age of 45 to 55, most persons suffer from harden ing of the lens of the eye to such an extent that it is difficult for them to focus accurately while reading. Bernstein assertedly finds that the greater the elasticity of the middle aged individual's eyes, the longer would be his life provided he dies from bralnstroke or heart stroke. This general classification causes about half of the recorded deaths, be says. Tie other half of the deaths from accidents, pneumonia, dia betes, cancer and other diseases cannot be foretold from the rela tive hardness of the eyes' lenses, he explains. Teachers' College High School Group Takes Trip Senior students in the teachers' college high school spent last Fri day in Omaha for a picnic and tour of the city. Miss Minnie Schlich ting, assistant principal of the school, and Dr. P. 3. Johnson, as sistant professor of secondary edu cation sponsored the group.

Meet the Faculty In a quiet, unassuming manner Nels A, Bengston, chairman of the geography department, related a few of his many and varied expe liences, while we who have spent our lives within the limited con fines of a few hundred miles, list ened enviously. He began his story by confess ing that "he was a "Swede by na tivity, but an American by choice." He began his professional life as a scientist in the soil survey depart ment of the government, after which he did geological work in Central and South America. When the war broke out he worked as a bread stuffs expert on the war trade board, and at the close of the wnr was sent to Norway as a com mercial attache. The summer of 1927 he spent in London as "ref eree" for the American and British interests then engaged in a con troversy over certain petroleum matters. In his work in foreign countries he encountered many different peo ple and as many different expe riences. Sometimes he tells about them. For instance, there was his six weeks' trip into the "Land of the Midnight Sun in northern Norway. Here he lived for one month, during which time the sun never set. When the sun was due north he photographed it. "That was quite an experience, too,'" he said. "But." he added, "I came to realize that continual day has its disadvantages. There was no chance to sleep until you had drawn the shades. In his work in South America, Mr. Bengston was at one time en tirely out of touch with civiliza tion. The Indians, among whom he was living, spoke neither English nor Spanish, and he depended en tirely upon the sign language for his communication with them. At this time, he said, he became much impressed by the kindliness of the Indians, as well as by their faith fulness. "Altho their standards are differ ent from ours, I believe they are just asmoral, or more so, than many highly civilized peoples," he declared. All his experiences in South America were not so pleasant, however. With native soldiers aa body guards, he undertook to do field work in the hostile Indian country of Columbia. Here the Mo tilones present a difficult problem in tropical exploration, as they are experts with the bow and arrow, and never show themselves when they attack. A Venezualan in Mr. Bengston's party was once pierced in the back by an arrow shot from the bushes. They saw or heard no sign of the Indians except a little cry of victory after they had their victim. Since 1929 Mr. Bengston has served as the director of the geo graphy department at the univer sity. In speaking of the work of the department, he explained that its "chief function is to help stu dents to know the world better, and to understand the signific ances of their natural environment in relation to human activities." "We are what we are and we do what we c"o because of heredity and environment." he continued. "Thus a study of our environment helps us to build a better social or der." Mr. Bentrston attended Peru Nor mal, Cornell, and the University of Nebraska, where he obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees. His doctor's degree he received from Clark. Since becoming direc tor of the geography department he has spent both his winters and summers teaching. Each summer he teaches economic geography at Columbia university. And as to en Joying it, he declares that "Varied experiences enrich ones outlook on life, but for peaceful. Comfortable living, there is nothing I enjoy more than working with young people in American colleges." NORRIS GIVES EXHIBIT. P. W.

Three new state high school track champs were crowned Satur day afternoon on the Memorial stadium track as the class of Ne braska cinder prepdom Jammed the Husker battlesight In the thirty third annual state high school championships. The three prep rec ord pulverizers who withstood the gruelling test of the day's competi tion and came out on top of the scramble with new marks under their belts were Russell "Rusty" Bradford, Mitchell, George Knight, Jackson and Homer Trimble, Goth enberg, After lowering rain clouds had opened periodically in the morning qualifying session and cushioned the track and field with a skiddish, slippery footing which hampered performances, the prep athletes came back under a rapidly clear ing afternoon sky to fight with dogged persistence for first place, gold medals and new records. Al though the main interest of the crowd of some three or four thou sand cheering spectators lay main ly in the team outcome, there was no race that was won without a battle, and every winner was forced to go the full route to bring in the goods. The three new records were established by comparative stran gers to the dope bucket, having pulled the wool over the eyes of the more favored champions for tne "dark horse ' stunt. Especially noticeable, too, was the dominance of the proceedings by the younger athletes. Nearly all the figures in the top half of the card were chalked up by younger lads, the older athletes standing by the side of the road while the sophomores and junios flashed by. A goodly portion of the Twelve gold medal winners were in their second or third year, thus insuring ccacn Henry Schulte plenty of ma terial for the Husker machine when a couple of years have rolled by Gold medal winners: inn-yard dash: Orion Parks, North Pla'te. 10.1. 220-yards: O) Irwin.

Operations and mechanisms of the Ashland branch of the Lincoln water plant were explained by James Allen, engineer in charge, before members of the Chemical Engineering society, Thursday evening. Allen, chem engineer '33, pointed out that in order to obtain com plete elimination of all iron and manganese from the water taken from the Platte river, a very care ful and exact control of chemical conditions must be had. The purity of the twelve million gallons sup plied per day, he related, depends on careful measurement, control of equipment and correct records and figures. The Ashland plant is able to supply daily twelve million gallons of water to Lincoln and if the occasion demands this can be ex panded up to nearly eighteen mil lion gallons by increasing flow of water thru the filters, the speaker said. Passage of water thru the plant, its treatment and then its transportation to Lincoln was lso outlined. Unite for Student Union.

The "University in Exile," offi cially known in New York as the Grauate Faculty of Political and Social Science, this week an nounced plans for the opening of its first summer session. A campaign for financial assist ance to insure permanence of the novel "university" is being made by the institution, established in September, 1933, after the "acad emic purge" in Germany. The announcement stated that "the summer session of the Gradu ate faculty presents a limited but representative number of courses designed to give the American graduate student a preliminary sense of what may be gained thru this cross-fertilization of American and European university cultures. "The summer session is con ceived of as an informal group of European scholars, American scholars and advanced students, en gaged in a co-operative undersand ing to bring out the essential val ues of the modern phases of civili zation."

A' diction ary of Latin inscriptions, now be ing compiled at Columbia univer sity, will be finished "around 2000 A. D.." according to the expecta tions of Donald Geddes, of the Columbia University press. This announcement was made public with the publishing of the first section of Volume II, which brines the dictionary up to the word "audio." Work on the "Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Epigraphicae" was started in 1903 by the late Professor George N. Alcott of the depart ment of Greek and Latin. After nine years of labor until his deach he had defined but three-quarters of the known words beginning with "a." Continuation of the task by his successors increased the speed of compilation, according to Geddes, who estimated that the dictionary, as now conceived, will be finished by the year 2000 A. D. The uni versity is publishing the work in fascicles of twenty-four pages each. Some 200 new inscriptions are being dscovered yearly, according to Professor Clinton W. Keyes, who has been In charge of the work since 1930. "These are found on stones un earthed In cellars throughout the territory compromising the old Roman Empire," he said. "The greatest sources of the inscriptions are tombstones." Professor Keyes is assisted by two master lexicographers and six FERA workers in deciphering about 100 of these tombstones now in the possession of Columbia uni versity. Colton Returns to Campus.
