FORMAL SEASON
LOSES INTEREST.
Eormals seem to bo getting
more space every day, Hnd as we
view the calendar for the remain
der of the season, our hearts arc
filled with sadness for soon the
"top hat, white tie and tails" cus
tom will far from prevail on ye
olde Nebraska campus. We feel
sure there will be a great deal of
weeping at this development on
the part of the campus Romeos,
who find nothing more pleasing
than barging around all evening in
a shirt that feels like lead armor,
and a collar that is usually several
sizes too small. But the poor coeds
will doubtless suffer the most, for
with the approach (we hope) of
warmer weather, when they find
that they are forced to wear long
sleeved winter dresses to dance in
at night instead of the practically
invisible creation of the formal
season, they will surely die of the
shock and subsequent suffocation.
At any rate there is still the ap
proaching excitement and expecta
tion of the annual Junior-Senior
prom, which promises to be one of
the best dances of the year and
if, as Irving Hill would say, "If
the orchestra committee ever de
cides who will play for it, campus
locieties will have that to discuss
l between the waning parties.

The chain of inns In the west i
would link up those already in ex
istence in the east, where 35 such
hotels have been constructed since
the idea was brought from Europe,
she said.
The youth hotels, Miss Randall
declared, already have become an
integral part of IS different Euro
pean countries. There it is possi
ble for young people to travel
widely by bicycle, foot and canoe
in six weeks at a total cost of
$20. These inns had their incep
tion in Germany but now have
out as r.re now being formulated,
the course will eventually be run
on the credit basis. For this sem
ester, however, according to the
report received, technical difficul
ties made the institution of the
course with credit, as originally
planned, possibly as a seminar,
impossible.
At Purdue university, as re
cently announced by Dr. E. C.
Eliot, president of the university,
a highly successful system ot con
vocations, supported by student
activity tickets, brings prominent
authorities to lecture and conduct
open forums on problems of mar
ital relationships. The question
now remains, ''What do you think
of the idea?"

at the Orphcum, with the same
spread to nearly all European
countries.
The idea was introduced in the
United States by Monroe and Isa
bel Smith and has proved a suc
cess in the east. Miss Randall
hopes to complete the system thru
out the western states.
The general plans will always
be the same separate dormitories
for hoys and girls, with community
kitchens and recreation halls.
The hotels provide beds, mat
tresses, blankets and cooking
utensils. The charge is 25 cents
for a night's lodging with 5 cents
to 10 cents added occasionally for
fuel.
Miss Randall hopes as the first
step In her program to have the
national park commission con
struct a "loop" of such hotels over
a suitable area that will enable
young travelers to make the en
tire tour by foot In 15 days. With
this as a demonstration, she ex
pects to be able to link up not
only a complete western but na

Page Believes Einstein's
Views Too Restricted
For Use.
NEW YORK. Feb. .20. A new
conception of the theory of rela
tivity, disagreeing fundamentally
with ' the findings of Dr. Albert
TTinutoin is nrivRnced in an article
written by Professor Leigh Page
of Yale university lor me jr-nyBiuai
Review.
nr Pno-p said he offered his
views with the hope that they
would lead to a better understand
ing of the motions accurnng
within the atom.
"Tho fundamental assumption
underlying Einstein's theory of
relativity is that the physical in
terval between two near-by events
(the square of tne element oi
measured distance minus the
square of the product of the ve
locity of light by the element of
measured time; is an invariem.
having the same value for all ref
erence systems," said Dr. Page.
"This assumption has led to
cosmological predictions which
have been verified by observation.
"Nevertheless, the author of the
present paper believes that Ein
stein's postulate is too restricted
to include all possmie mouons vi
material narticles. In this paper
he will present an alternate theory,
and will give reasons for believing
that it, rather than Einstein's
theory, represents a proper formu
lation ot relativity in an enecuve
ly empty world.
"it is shnwn that in an effective
ly empty world Einstein's assump
tion of an invarient pnysicai inter
val and an absolute four-dimension
timp is in contradition with
the underlying principle of the
relativity of motion, ana tnere
fore either the one or the other
must be abandoned.
"The significance of the present
contribution lies in the discovery
of a new category of reference
avRtoma with Kiiclidean geometries
and constant light-velocities which
nave constant reiauve accelera
tions (in the relativity sense) and
for which the physical interval,
contrary to Einstein's fundamental
assumption, is not an invarient.
"In all probability there are
many other such categories as yet
unsuspected."
In his conclusion, following
mnnv hitrhlv enmnlex mathemati
cal formulae, Dr. Page states as
follows:
"Hence the conclusion seems in
pvitahlp that the fundamental as
sumption of an invariable physical
interval, wnicn unaemea nau
steln's relativity, is untenable.
Either the postulate of an absolute
four-dimensinnnl spare-time, or
the postulate of the relativity of
motion in an effectively empty
world, must be abandoned."

Harvard Dean Wants Prize
Plan to Be Made
Nation-Wide.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 21
(CNS) Extension of Harvard
university's prize fellowship plan
throughout the country was urged
this week by Dean A. C. Hanford
of Harvard college.
The prize fellowships have been
effective in bringing students of
a high type to Harvard and fa
cilities should be offered whereby
students in many parts of the
coluntry could compete for the
fellowships, Dean Hanford said.
"It is the unanimous opinion of
the scholarship committee that the
prize fellowship plan should be
extended as soon as more funds
for the scholarships and their ad
ministration can be obtained," he
8t&t6(l
"It seems possible to select
young men at the age of 10 to 18,
when they are just completing
secondary schools, who have suffi
nerior intelligence and
general promise to justify spend
ing as much as m.uuu or i,iuu
a year apiece on them in case they
are without funds for their own
education," it was declared.
"We feel convinced, as the re
sult of the experiment with the
prize fellowships, and also as a
result of following a somewhat
similar practice with a limited
number of able upper classmen
already in college who hold regu
lar scholarships of large size, that
it is wise to give a student of out
stnniiine' nbilitv and promise a
sufficiently large stipend, if nec
essary, to relieve mm irom navmg
to carry outside work."
All ten of the members of the
class of 1938 who received prize
fellowships established honor rec
ords in their courses in the first
year, Dean Hanford reported.
Scientist Sponsors
Onion Marathon to
Find Tearless Bulb
ITHICA, N. Y Feb. 20. (CNS).
Nearly every day for three years
Dr. Hans Platen'lus. a German
born scientist on the faculty of
Cornell, has been cooking onions
in his basement laboratory at the
university. Who eats them, or if
no, what becomes of them after
the culinary marathon, is not
made clear by the Cornell Alumni
News, which tells the story of
the doctor's unflagging research
into onion reactions.
The real objective of this pun
gent pursuit is purely scientific.
It has to do with the ultimate dis
covery of the "tearless" as well
as the "most tearful" onion, and
the American housewife, it is ex
pected, will be the beneficiary of
the experiments. In three year,
more than 200 specimens of this
strong-scented sister of the lily
family have been put thru the
laboratory cauldrons to yield their
oil for analysis.
Doctor Platenius says that he
has already determined the pun
gency of at least fourteen different
onion varieties by testing tne sur
plus content of onion oil derived
from seperate steam distillations.
These varieties he explains were
collected from different parts ot
the world, and their concentrated
oil has such a vehemently asser
tive odor that but one drop, un
guarded in the basement where he
works, would quickly permeate the
four floors of the biulding with
the homely fragrance of a rotis
serie. To produce a half pint of
such oil more than two tons of
onions are required.
"My investigations," Doctor Plt-
enius declared, "indicate that tem
perature, particularly during the
ripening period, plays an impor
tant role in determining the rela
tive strength of the bulbs. Humid
ity, to, might be a deciding factor
as well as the quality of the soil.
Greenhouse experiments, in fact,
