Lincoln 'The Goose and the

viewer while he tries to re-unravel
the tangled thread.
Mrs. Sommers No. 2 (Genevieve

is a brute, and that her married
life is very unhappy ana needs a
little variation. Robert McNear,
(George Brent) being of a mina

It will neither excite nor dis
turb you unduly, but will rather
lead you pleasantly from one
laugh to the next until suddenly
the show is over and you realize
that you've been very agreeably
entertained and amused for the
past two hours. And you may
stay to see parts of it again. This
is one of those rare productions
where the producers realize that
because one or two scenes are
funny, eight or ten like it and
twice as long may not be side
splitting and that perhaps the
house may not want its sides split
when the operation is so painful.
The humor is never offensive, and
even though the story Is a bit
weak and worn in places, and
takes a few liberties, you won't
mind for it's all for the sake of
fun. Of course, if you want to
take it very seriously, if you like
your humor that way, then you
may object to parts but I'd see
a doctor, if I were you glands,
you know
The stoiy concerns Jack Benny, i
Eroadway columnist, keyhole and j
transom inspector for the people
who are somebody: Robert Tay
lor, Broadway producer with a
show and no money; June KnSsrht. 1
Broadway widow with a yen for
the producer and the show, for
herstlf; and Eleanor Powell, the
girl from back home with the
bright lights strong in her eyes.
Add Una MerkeL office girl, and
Sid Silvers, stooge to the column
irt; also ViJma and Buddy Ebsen.
Stir in a dash of Robert Wild
hack, and his learned treatise on
snores, with Illustrations: season
liberally with some beautiful danc
ing and ensemble scenes, a trick
set in the opening, many striking
ly beautiful effects and you have
a concoction successfully designed
rarily, to a relation slightly more
intimate than speaking. Finding
that his present wife is the young
lady of the raft, and being slightlv
irritated with him for the manner
in which he disposed of her, Mrs.
Sommers No. 1 artfully arranges
a little get-together at her lodge
in the mountains for all parties
concerned.
The unexpected enters in the
form of a couple of crooks, any
everything becomes very compli
cated, but always laughable in the
same casual vein. Some excellent
humor effects. A sliding over of
the more serious problems which
might be invoked in passing. Tbe
acting is the characters, and tbe
characters are parts fitting to
gether to make a play.
There may be some objection
by the more rigid-minded of the
audience because it doesn't handle
the institution of marriage in the
style to which it would like to re
main accustomed, but there's no
harm meant, and if you want to
take it seriously you'll only miss
a few good laughs. A workman
like show, with the parts well
greased.

Possibilities of stimulated con
sumption of Nebraska raised poul
try and eggs thru the use of ad
vertising is being investigated by
tbe advanced class in advertising
under the instruction of Dr. F. C.
Biood. Thus far tbey have discov
ered that the Califor-nia fruit grow
ers association by advertising
fruits for breakfast has sadly
cramped the style of good "old
fashioned" eggs and baron.
"Eggs" stated Dr. Blood, "are
not advertised as fruits are. Con
sequently they have to be satisfied
with a smaller market and lower
prices."
The effect of tbe prices of poul
try and eggs on the volume of re
tail sales in Nebraska trading cen
ters is that the purchase of luxu
ries in Nebraska baa increased
when preceeded by rising poultry
and egg prices.
"I believe the pin money derived
from the egg money is the most
important retail factor in Ne
braska" said Dr. Blood. "Tbe re
tail market has gone up because
the merchants are kept busy out
side tbe purchase of bare necessi
ties."
The depression has had at least
one beneficial effect in the belief
of President Lotus D. Coif man of
the University of Minnesota. He
attributes the attainment of a ten
year L.gh In scholarship last year
to the fact that students bad less
money, more time for study.

MADISON, Wis. The college
youth of America definitely does
not want war, and can be expected
to oppose vigorously and actively
any effort to drag the United
States into the general European
war many experts predict will
arise out of the Italo-Ethiopian
conflict.
This is the belief of Associated
Collegiate Press correspondents
who have just completed a survey
of student opinion on the subject.
Conclusions Reached.
Outstanding among the conclu
sions reached as a result of the
survey are these-.
1. While most American stu
dents are in decided sympathy
with Ethiopia in the present un
declared war in Africa, opinion is
divided as to the wisdom of the
United States joining the League
of Nations in the application of
aggressor penalties against Italy,
with only a minority in suppoit.
2. Today, more students than
ever before are prepared to view
with cynical skepticism the flag
waving jingoism and propaganda
so successfully used to drive
America into participation in the
, World war.
i 3. The flood of books, pamph
lets and magazine articles expos-
ing the origins of past wars, and
particularly the World war. has
found a wider circulation among
college students and instructors
than among any other group of
the American public as a whole.
4. The number, of "conscientious
objectors" and pacifists in the col
leges and universities, both those
who would refuse to enlist for a
foreign war and those who are
pledged not to fight for any rea- j
son, has vastly increased during ;
the pant few years. j
Editorial Expresses Opinion.
What collegiate America thinks
of war is best expressed in the fol
lowing editorial from the North
east Missounan, student publica
tion of Northeast Missouri teach
ers college. The article has been
widely reprinted in tbe college
predH :
"We, the young people of today,
are faced with a world preparing
for war. Italy is rapidly forcing
the issue in Ethiopia; Great Britain
is rushing ber navy to the Mediter
ranean: the United States is stead
ily increasing its military expendi
tures and following policies which
threaten to plunge us into tbe me
lee. The League of Nations is a
peace organization in name but is
powerless to avert war unless Italy
retracts, and Italy will not retract
as long as there is a possible
chance to gain land and resources.
War in Europe seems inevitable.
Tbe United States must not be
drawn into tbe mess. Tbe young
men of America are too valuable
to waste in a squabble between
selfish nations in Europe; Amerli
can resources are too valuable to
blow up In gun powder.
"We feel the need for construc
tive and dramatic demonstration
against the rising war tendencies
of our nation. We must bear down
strongly on peace education. We
must demonstrate our determina
tion not to be cannon fodder for
future wars."
""pHE Colleges, of all places, are
showing a drop in literacy,
says Bernard's Dean Virginia C.
Gildersleeve. One wonders,. There
is little question about the illiter
acy; one wonders merely if it is
on the increase. It sesms to us that
collegiate society, like any other,
is divided into literate and illiter
ate, has always been so, and prob
ably always will be. There is in any
college a certain fixed proportion
of students who have never read
anything if there was a possible
avenue of escape, and there is al
ways a contingent of omnivorous
and intelligent readers.
4 o o
"Instead of taking things in
thru the eye and becoming fa
miliar with the aspect of Eng
lish words," says Dean Gilder
sleeve, "they take them in thru
the ear, by the radio and the
movies. This has a lementable
effect on their spelling and on
some other aspects of their writ
ing." "Are we right in feeling that the
present student is rather more il
literate than were the students of
the past," Dean Gildersleeve con
tinues, "Has this condition, if it
exists, much to do with our college
requirements, or does it grow out
of the state of affairs noticed in
the schools also that is, the rap
idly diminishing amount of reading
done by our young people?"
THE radio and the movies have
of course raised figurative and
literal hob with the status of learn
ing in these United States. There
is no simpler way of obtaining in
formation than that afforded by
the radio, just as there is nothing
that affords amusement with less
intellectual effort on the part of
the audience, than the current cin
ema. Not that either of these two
praiseworthy phenomena is in
trinsically debasing: it is merely
that they both depend for success
on an appeal to the mass mind,
and the level of the mass mind is
found at about 14 years. So. . . .
But there are worse things to
come, say the scientists. The
only barier between us and il
literacy is the American press,
specifically the newspapers. The
country is full of people who
read nothing but newspapers.
Already radio is encroaching on
the news field; it is easier now,
in some instances, to get one's
news over the air than it is to
read it for oneself And what of
increased radio activity in this
field, my masters, and what of
television? Imagine the alert
television reporter, broadcasting
pictures and a running descrip
tion of. for instance, a session of
the United States senate, com
plete with sound effects. Who'll
read tbe newspapers then? A
few people surely; there is some
truth in the often-reiterated
statement that "the newspapers
will never go." But the people
they will cater to in the future
will be those who want interpre
tative and background material,
matter that can never be in
stantly prepared.

Twenty-five unpleasant things
were listed. Heading the list of
mortal sins, according to the tes
timony of 76 students was "ram
bling in lectures." Then came
"Twisting mouth into odd shapes,"
with 63 earnest young psycnoio
gists recording their aversion to
this pleasantry. "Frowning" came
next, with 55 votes, then "Play
ing or tinkering with objects"
type of object unspecified and
next, "Cocking head" pulled an
even 50 votes. The list runs on
like that for quite a little while,
various attitudes and mannerisms
being listed.
There are professors who did
not know, perhaps, that "stand
ing in an awkward position" is
very painful to some students,
and definitely retards their con
centration. Similarly, your care
ful pedagogue will not "walk
around too much" nor will he
effect "odd color combinations
in clothing." And it Is de rigeur
to speak in "complete state
ments" and not scratch the head
nor "talk too low."
What with salary waivers. 8
o'clock classes, recalcitrant and
bone-headed freshmen, and the
high price of pork, life was hard
enough before.
