With a brilliant display of ex

Alabama rifled a stifling attack
at former President Hoover and
champions of the republican cause
before a crowd of 500 in that
"same hall which the sage of Palo
Alto recently made famous" Sat

continuous rebuttal to the repub

ENGLISH INSTRUCTOR
REVIEWS NEW ROOKS
Dr. Louise Pound of the English
department has the following book
reviews in the last issue of Ameri
can Literature, quarterly published
by the American Literature sec
tion of the Modern Language as
sociation of America: "The Sur
vival of French in the Old District
of Sninte Genevieve" by Ward Al
lison Dorrance, University of Mis
souri Studies; "Arizona Place
Names" by Will C. Barncfl, bullC'
tin of the University of Arizona
and "Folk Tales of Missouri" by
Earl A. Collins, published in Bos
ton. Miss Pound has been for
some years a member of the ad
visory board of American Liter
ature. These persons left 1,546 win
dows and doors unlocked, 125 gas
jets and water taps on, .nd 586
lights burning. Night watchmen,
who move about the bail lings
checking on these things, keep a
list of every omission. When
water, electricity, ami gas bills
for the university mount high,
these records are ready to show
the reason for increased expense.
Most arrests for intoxication on
the campus are made at night,
many of them after 10:30, accord
ing to Sergeant Regler, in charge
of policing the university. In the
past year 41 persons, only four of
whom were students, were taken
to the station house on charges
of intoxication. Almost without

strikingly modernistic in black and
yellow and new ox cart cut done
by Barbara Ross of Lincoln. Eng
lish Professor L. C. Wimberly who
heads the staff, says the February
issue with its 94 pages constitutes
the largest magazine in the his
tory of the publication.
"We believe the university's lit
erary medium has reached a new
high in both quantity and quality,"
Editor Wimberly remarked. "It
will be a creditable envoy of the
school in the many parts of the
world where it appears and the
large number of students who sub
scribed during the recent YWCA
drive should enjoy their purchase."
In rounding off its first decade
of publication, the Schooner is able
to review several highlights in its
career with some feeling of ac
complishment according to its edi
tor, Prof. Wimberly, who has guid
ed the magazine from its strug
gling beginnings back in 1927 to
its present status among the best
magazine of its type in the coun

Self-Made Senator Black

Education Little
Hindcrance.
"A self-made man" might be a
fitting description of Senator Hugo
L. Black, who opened the demo
cratic party's activities in prepara
tion for the next election in the
coliseum Inst night. Senator Black
who was born in a small town in
Alabama was educated at home
ami has never had pie-law college
education. When he was yet a
young man he entered the Ala
bama college of law without the
usually necessary requirements,
and after four years of hard work
graduated with his law degree.

Cardwell, Cosgrove Provide
Thrills in Lopsided
Track Victory.
Nebraska's indoor tracksters
laid down the "welcome" mat to
the Jayhawkers Saturday after
noon in honor of George Wash
ington's birthday and in recogni
tion of the opening of the 1938
track season, but unlike the con
genial host, the Hwskers sent the
Jayhawkers home hearing the
scars of a 80 2-3 to 23 1-3 loss.
Altho it was a rather lop
sided victory, competition was un
usually keen for the first track
meet of the season. Coach Bill
Hargiss, K. U. mentor who tutored,
the great Glenn Cunningham in
the long distance runs, was not
able to bring his full squad.
Hargiss All Praise.
"Nebraska looms as this year's
Big Six conference champion,"
said K. U. Coach Bill Hargiss after
the meet. "They can score in
eleven out of the twelve events,
and one week spot means little
when they are so strong in the
other events."
Lloyd Cardwell and Sherman
Cosgrove provided the greatest
thrills to the crowd. Cardwell
placed first in the broad jump
with a mighty leap of 23 feet 10
inches. Coach Schulte labelled
"Cardy's" leap as "the best
jump ever made in Nebraska's in
door arena." It'equals the Missouri
Valley indoor record.

SAFETY PLEDGES

Efforts to Rid Campus
Of Accidents.
"Every student driver a safety
booster," expresses the sentiment
of the safety campaign promo
ters as they renew their el'fotts to
rid the campus of careless drivers.
Irwin Ryan, editor of the Daily
Nebraskan and supporter of the lo
cal drive, urged all campus drivers
to sign the safety pledge available
at the Nebraskan office, and to
follow the promises embodied in
the pledge.
Safety seals to be placed on
the windshields of the automobiles
of all pledge signers are also
available at the Nebraskan office.
It is the aim of the campaigners to
place a seal on the windshield of
every car on the campus.

sent to an officer's training camp
where he met considerable difli

he trained and finally went into
action with the rank of captain.
Since the war his life has been
largely that of a public minded
statesman and in 1926 he was
elected to represent Alabama in
the United States senate.
Due to his commendable record
for the first six years in office he
was re-elected in 1932 and since
that time has become one of the
most powerful forces in the senale.
