Thompson Answers Charges
On Job-Giving Discrimination
Answering criticism that University of Nebraska football
players are being discriminated against in the allotment ot fed
eral relief jobs for students, T. J. Thompson, dean of student
affairs, wrote to John Rentier, Lincoln Journal sports column
ist making the charges, that "if there are those ol our football
players who can quaiuy ior guv-yr
eminent employment I am sure
they will be given, as they always
have, unprejudiced treatment
either in awarding or denying
them employment"
"The implication that there is
discrimination against football
players at Nebraska in the selec
tion of students for this employ
ment," continues the Dean, "is
quite without foundation In fact.
I make this rather positive state
ment because I have read the ap
plication of every student apply
ing for government employment
and know that in so far as It la
possible the students have been se
lected upon the basis (specified by
the federal government) of their
. need and their ability to do high
grade work in college.
No Athletes Apply.
Moreover," he states further,
"I am not sure that there have
been any football players or other
athletes among the approximately
two thousand persons who filed
applications for government em
ployment. I do recall that one
member of the football team who
had two other Jobs spoke to me
about this employment, but his
grade average was of such an or
der that he would not have been
awarded such employment In
fact, I have believed that football
players needing employment could
secure better and more desirable
employment in so far as their
practice time is concerned from
outside sources. That is, practic
ally all of the employment from
government sources is available
only between the hours of 8 a. m.

not wish it for this reason.
"Fortunately for Nebraska, the
city of Lincoln Is much larger
than the cities contiguous to other
Big Six schools, and quite natur
ally is therefore able to furnish on
a perfectly legitimate basis part
time employment to from three to
five times as many worthy stu
dents as are the contiguous cities
to the other conference schools.
Many Students Work.
"That fifteen hundred young
mer and about one thousand
young women are working for
part or all of their support while
attending the university, is the
best testimony I can give concern
ing the opportunities for employ
ment furnished student at the
University of Nebraska. It also
bears witness to the fine co-operative
spirit of the citizens of Lin
coln, many of whom go out of
their way and make sacrifice In
order to give worthy students as
sistance in getting their education.
Athletes are not neglected; In
fact, they get their full share
when it comes to this type of
employment even tho they may
not be able to secure other types
under specified limitations."
Mr. Bentley, in offering his cri
ticism, drew an analogy to the
University of Missouri, when he
said: "There are some 120 state
and federal jobs available to the
Tiger football players . . . But at
Nebraska not one of the part
tiffie Jobs offered students by the
government is given to football
players. Discrimination ? Well,
what do you think?"

Corey Finds Definite Value
In Mental Efficiency Tests
(Continued from Page 1.)
said many students entering the
university have never been taught
how to read. Some of them, un
der proper guidance, gain as much
as 100 percent efficiency inside of
six weeks. Even those who read
average or above average, often
raise their reading scores consid
erably by careful study and ap
plication of study principles.

women to be the better students,
although a very small percentage
of the men enrolled at the univer
sity do have superior ratings.
Here's another interesting con
clusion! It is generally believed
by faculty members in charge of
the educational measurement work
that if the study of mathematics,
Latin, and the laboratory sciences,
such as physics and chemistry,
are pursued beyond the required
stage, this is apt to indicate su
perior academic ability on the
part of the individual.
Varied Scores.
The Ohio State psychological
test given this year was divided
into three parts, namely, vocabu
lary, in which the freshman's
knowledge of eighty words was
tested, second, language structure
and third, reading. Geography,
philosophy, economics, mathe
matics, physics, chemistry, polit
ical science, and religion were all
touched upon in the questions and
reading matter provided.
Students were expected to fin
ish the Ohio State examination in
sixty-six minutes and a perfect
paper would score 296 points.
Teachers college freshmen made
scores ranging from 17 to 248 for
the entire test.
On the vocabulary test, where
eighty was the maximum score,
results ranged from 5 to 77 and on
the language structure division,
where 112 was the maximum, stu
dents this year made scores rang
ing from 0 to 110. Out of some
1,500 teachers college freshmen
who finished the reading section,
featuring paragraphs from modern
college text books, scores ranged
from 4 to 87. Maximum score was
96.
One might view the situation in
the way one faculty member ex
pressed himself: "If some students
after thirty minutes of reading
can get only four ideas correct out
of a possible 96, and others for the
same length of time get 87, what
chance have the former?"
Nod Key to Success.
"But," says Dr. Corey, "the in
dividuals whose scores are high
may not always succeed as well as
those wh'jse averages are lower. A
keen mind is just cne factor that
makes for success, altho probably
the most important single factor.
But there is sufficient evidence at
hand to show that students whose
minds are less brilliant, but yet
who have other essential qualities,
as perseverance, self confidence,
and organized lives, often travel
farther along the highway of suc
cess." Poor showings in the vocabulary
and language tests indicate to of
ficials the probable absence of
books in the home, or lack of
proper conversational attention
given youngsters by their parents.
As to the child protiigy, youngsters
whose mental abilities seem far
beyond the average, Dr. Corey
says there is evidence to believe
that these individuals will continue
to be superior to their fellow men
in years to come.
He believes there is an inverse
relationship between age and
mental capacities. In most cases,
he says, the youngster of 13 or 14
who enters the university is equal
ly advanced in his social educa
tion. While there ate cases where
youthful scholars have developed
solely along educational channels

Weekly Reportorial
Class Is Postponed
There will be no Daily Ne
braskan reporting class Friday
afternoon, it was announced
Tuesday by the managing edi
tors. However, all reporters are
asked to appear for work after
2 o'clock. The staff wishes to
accomplish all the work possi
ble on Friday afternoon, be
cause of the large number of
activities which are scheduled
for homecoming.
Revision of the reportorial
staff will be made a week from
Friday, the editors stated. Al
tho not all beats will be
changed, there will be a good
many changes, based on the re
liability and work of the re
porters. P
and are backward in Iheir social
relationships, Dr. Corey raises the
question if it still is not the best
policy to allow these superior stu
dents to enter the university.
Sample Questions.
"In the university they will at
least be forced to meet this social
problem," he says. "Why waste
their time in high school, particu
larly if they are interested in
learning a profession?"
Perhaps readers would be inter
ested in trying their own skill t
answering a few of the questions
asked freshmen students taking
the psychological tests this year.
As an example of the vocabulary
test the student is told to select
the one word from the following
list which will finish the sentence
and make the best sense: "Good is
the opposite of 1. Excellent 2.
Cheerful S. Bad 4. Wrong 5. True.
The individual, of course, is to
check the word bad.
This you say, may be easy, but
try this one: Fing among the
five numbered choices a word
which fits the third word in the
same way that the second word
fits the first word: pour poured
kick 1. kicked 2. kickt 3. kicken 4.
kict X) kicks
Here is another paragraph the
students were required to read:
"Christopher Columbus, a Corsi
can sailor, after much hard effort,
at last persuaded Queen Isabella
to aid him. She sold her jewels
and gave the money to him. With
it he chartered three small ves
sels, the Pinta, the Nina, and
Santa Maria, his flagship, and set
sail from Lisbon, on Friday, Aug.
12. 1492. He first sighted the San
Salvador Islands on Friday. Oct.
12, 1492, whjch islands he sup
posed were the mainlands of the
Indies. Since he had reached them
by sailing westward, he christened
them the West Indies. The name
"America" did not originate until
some years later when the newly
discovered continent was so
named in honor of Amerigo Ves
pucci." Try Your Luck.
You arc to answer these ques
tions: "What word in the paragraph

reached.
"What was the name of his
flagship? 1. Isabella 2. Santa
Mario 3. Plnta 4. Nina 5. Amerigo.
"What word in the paragraph
means "mistakenly believed?" 1.
supposed 2. reached 3. christened
4. discovered S. persuaded.
"What name did Columbus give
to the newly discovered islands?
1. America 2. Corsica 3. San Sal
vador 4. Lisbon 5. West Indies."
Here's a puzzler to exercise the
brain. Freshmen were supposed
to read the following, and then
answer the four remaining ques
tions. Altho they were allowed
to study over it there was a time
element to consider.
"The doctrine on which the abso
lutists lay most stress is the abso
lute's 'timeless' character. For
pluralists, on the other hand, time
remains as real as anything and
nothing in the universe is great
or static or eternal enough not to
have some territory. But the world
that each of us feels most inti
mately at home with is that of
hoincra with histories that Play Into
our history, whom we can help in
their vicissitudes even as they
help us in ours. This satisfaction
the absolute denies us; we can
neither help nor hinder it, for it
of historv. It
surely is a merit in philosophy to
mane me very mc we kou ovm
rsnl onri earnest. Pluralism, in
exercising the absolute, exercises
the great de-reanzer 01 me mu
lifo nra urp at home in. and thus
redeems the nature of reality from
essential foreigness. Every end,
reason, motive, object of desire or
aversion, ground of sorrow or joy
that we feel is in the world of
finite multifariousness, for only in
that world does anything really
happen, only there do events come
to pass."
; Once More.
Now, if the readers have been
nimble enough to follow thru, they
try their luck in answering these
questions:
"In what field is it a .merit to
make life seem real and earnest?
1, pluralist; 2, history; 3, philoso
phy; 4, pluralism; 5, absolutism.
"Quote the phrase of exactly
five words meaning 'very familiar
to us' used in the paragraph. 1,
most intimately at home with; 2,
feels most intimately at home; 3,
