VALENTINE TREND
EVIDENCED TODAY.
Valentines seem to bo tho niuln
subject under consideration as we
view tho social calendar this week.
Parties will he carried out in the
customary hearts and flowers dec
orations, and we even notice the
alumnae and mothers clubs stray
ing from the well-worn paths of
hu.slne.ss-Hue proceedure. One of
the most interesting examples of
this tendency is the S. A. K.
mothers eluh party Saturday, at
which the lathers will again share
the honors for which they have so
long waited. Although the cus
tomary candy parsings are not ns
nuii' lii evidi'nre an we hail hoped,
nevcrlhrlrss we notice that more
.sei ions romaulie developments,
sin h as formal engagements and
weddings, seem to be flourishing
this week. Sigma Nu's are plan
ning a Sweetheart dinner to honor
their Valentines, and the Pi Phi's
have selected that very advantage
ous date, "the fourteen," for their
formal.

School Seriousness
(treat I y Overdrawn
New York Times.
The college student has come
in for such a flood of praise for
his increasing seriousness since
tne more depresseu days of the
depression that we are in fair
way of having a new carii':.ture of
student life, as overdiawn for the
middle thirties as it was for the
twenties, when the typical stu
dent was presumed to be spending
most of his time raising general
extra curncular devil, and life on
the campus was much like a night
club.
But what is the true picture ?
With the aid of three college
graduate investigators, a midwest -ern
university made a comprehen
sive study of extra curricular ac
tivities of more than 700 students.
Plenty of Leisure.
One of the first observations
was that while students feel the
demands of their studies as an
omni-present potential burden,
they nevertheless devote as much
or more time to leisure as the
average adult in civil life about
six hours a day.
By far the largest part of this
six hoars is spent in passive leis
ure loafing, bull sessions, radio
listening, nnnkne t'.nd car driv
ing. Sheer idleiivSs, random con
versation and radio rank second,
third and fourth in time consumed.
For convenience, let's follow
John Fredei ick Jones, the average
student, around thru the week.
And Here's What He Does.
He rises in the morning, after
seven or eight hous of sleep, but
with eyes heavy from rag chew
ing, and dashes off to class, post
poning breakfast until his free
hour at 9 o'clock. By noon he has
finished his class room attend
ance. Most likely he has a job but
one in a restaurant which re

quires little more time than he
would take off for his meals any
way. After that work he has all
afternoon to do as he pleases for
French verbs, a short theme and a
history assignment will take no
more than three hours after din-i
ner that night.
A part of the six hours goes to
bull sessioning on class assign
ments, dates, instructors, scand
als, sports, sex and even current
social and economic problems.
Rarely is there a session into
which sex does not enter.
Not Much Drinking.
He spends three and one-half
hours a week listening to particu
lar radio programs, and a vast
number of other hours are music
ally accompanied by the loud
speaker.
Of three students, John is one
who drinks but he spends little
time at it barely half an hour a
week.
Here, then, is one of the prime
challenges to the college; to bring
its strategic role of alma mater,
its admirable recreational facili
ties and its trained leadership to
bear more positively in producing
students who are on speaking
terms with culture. 1

DEATH HAY HESEAKCH
URBAN A. 111., Feb. 11 Use of a
"death ray" as a therapeutic treat
ment for certain human ailments
may become practical, if tests be
ing conducted at the University
of Illinois are successful, it was
learned this week.
The ray. a beam of neutrous
fourteen times more deadly than
X-rays, will be shot from a scien
tific "gun" now being assembled
under the direction of Dr. P. G.
Kruger.
Experiments have shown. Dr.
Kruger said, that the rays destroy
white corpuscles of the blood, re
ducing the count from 8,000 to
SOOr 400.
Altho this means almost certain
death to normal humans, the
physicist asserted, it may mean
just the opposite to victims of lu
kemis. the disease in which white
corpuscles grow so fast they kill
off the life bearing red ones.
Another possibility, he said, use
of the ray to kill the wild grow
ing cells of cancer and Hodgkin
disease.
A Colgate university psychology
professor has found that large
meals produce temporary "brain
anemia by drawing blood from the
head to the stomach.

announced.
"Any university student or fac

guest of the conference at the two
lectures by Kagawa," Mr. Hayes
stated. The registration fee for
guests is thirty-five cents. Y. W.
and Y. M. members who wish to

Smith hall.
Kigawa 46.
Barely forty-six years old, Ka
gawa has accomplished much for
his country, much for the present
world, and much for the future in
the short years of his life. Raised
in a home of hatred, and spending
his youth in the dirt and poverty
of the slums, Kagawa has built out
of his experiences a plan for an
ideal social organization, a co-operative
society.
He states that he believes that
machines were created by man,
hut that they do not need to vic
timize him. He believes that by
consumer control, and, eventually,
consumer ownership, man can
make the machine serve him in an
improved social organization.
Thru his work in Japan Kagawa
has enlisted over one-third of the
population in his movement, and
thru his books and lectures he has
found disciples all over the world.

was relegated to the background,
and alumni of the university com
posed the only groups which kept
alive an active recognition of the
day. At these yearly meetings
persons connected with the admin
istration of the university or with
athletics spoke of the progress of
the university. Undergraduates on
the campus today would realize,
with a start, that alumni have
more spirit than they, for at these
meetings, staid citizens sing Ne
braska U songs, give three rahs
for the school, and discuss fondly
the traditions that they helped
make in the good old days.
Along with the earlier celebra
tions of Charter day, the former
students often recounted tales of
their favorite professors who aid
ed so greatly in the development
of the university after the charter
was granted and the long, hard
struggle for national recognition
began. Perhaps the central idea
of these meetings and Charter day
celebrated both at home and
"abroad" is to tie the graduates
into the new programs of the uni
versity. This third celebration on the
campus, the greatest of its kind to
be held here, will make the stu
dents now enjoying the advantages
of the university of Nebraska con
scious of the right traditions and,
as Dean Thompson says,
"conscious of the real accomplish
ments of the graduates of the Uni
versity of Nebraska In the fields
of arts, sciences, letters and kind
red environments."

COMBAT COMMUNISM
BY EDUCATING PUPILS
Congressman F. J. Sisson
Advocates Teaching in
District of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12,
Teachers In the District of Colum
hin mihiin schools should bo per
mitted to give their pupils "tho
racis ' anout communism, mx-um-lng
to Congressman Fred J, Sis
son, democrat of New York, who
thlM week had presented a bill
which would do just that.
Ho declared that "tho best way
in rnmhat. communism or any
thing elso which Is destructive of
our present order is not to ciobk
It in mystery or secrecy, but to
lei whe facts be known."
This provision, attached as a
"rider" to tho district appropria
tion bill last year, has figured
prominently In an investigation of
tho alleged teaching of commu
nism in the public schools.
"No right-minded person believes
any one should be allowed to advo
cate communism or any other 'ism'
In the public schools, but it is
rather an insult to the teaching
profession to presupposo that it is
necessary to forbid It," Sisson
said.
"However,! the prohibition
Viinst the teaching of commu-
it,m would very naciy carry who
j u tho idea that students in the
,, nnnla should not he allowed to
gain the facts about the social,
economic or political systems of
other countries and could be based
only upon the assumption that our
young people are too feeble-minded
to know tho truth about
things."

tried in this country, Dr. W. H.
Brokaw, director of the agricul
tural college extension depart
ment, spoke on "Cooperatives" at
the vesper service Tuesday at 5
o'clock in Ellen Smith hall.
The subject of Dr. Brokaw's
speech was chosen a. a valuable
introduction to the economic prin
ciples which Toyohiko Kagawa
will stress when he speaks at the
Student Christian conference in
Lincoln next Friday and Saturday.
Preceding the speech by Dr.
Brokaw, Winifred Nelson, member
of the Y. W. cabinet, led the group
