SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 1936. FOUR THE DAILY NEBRASKAN i i a i NEBRASKA CAHPtIS n 0 SDCDAQ WDiDKLL TABLES TURN ON OUR CO-EDS. It may be leap year in name, but we noticed lots of the gals looking rather unhappy at the thought of escorting a date to a dance. Leap year day seemed a success according to the men on the campus: Lincoln theatres re ported a great number of women purchasing tickets Saturday while the shy dates waited for their as corts in the lobby, not the leat bit embarrassed with the situation. Boxes of candy and silk dresses should be numerous around the town today too. Saturday was the appropriate day for these young women swains with matri monial intentions to try their skill at proposing, and if refused, a box of candy, at least a five pound one, or a silk dress, at least a Paris model, was in order. Know ing the girls as we do, they were probably hoping to be refused and, knowing the boys as we do, the proposal was probably ignored as well as the thought of buying the customary presents. It is fortunate that leap year day comes only once in a long time because it is most unbecom ing to the coed to be aggressive and domineering instead of being her own sweet unselfish self? Nevertheless, it has been novel and entertaining to all concerned and we wish the best of luck to all those who were successful in their leap year procedures. A, C. TILLEY TO SPEAK AT ENGINEERSMNVOCATION Nebraska Official Talks On Reconstruction of Flood Area. State Engineer A. C. Tilley will appear as speaker at an all-engineering convocation Tuesday eve ning, 7:30, in the social science auditorium, according to an an nouncement by Ted Schroder, president of the engineering ex ecutive board in charge' of the program.

PLAYERS EXPECT HIT OF SEASON IN NEW PRODUCTION (Continued from Page 1). has excited the praise of the most severe Broadway critics are the following: Dclford Brummer, in the character role of "Gramp;" Richard Rider, who is the stellar halfback: Allen Gatewood, as the lather of "Gabby," and Era Lown, as the Duke's chief assistant. The "Petrified Forest," with which the Players open their sixth r'n of the season promises to be the important modern drama of the season. It was a serious con tender for the Pulitzer prize last year and in the opinion of many respected critics deserved the honor. Humor, melodrama, action and philosophy of modern times min gle in correct proportions to cause this production to be hailed by the modern theater goers as a brilliant success. The action of the play is laid in a barbpcue stand on ihe edge of the petrified forest in Arizona. In to the lunch room in the course of action, comes an All American halfback, an author, whose sense of futility has doomed him to fail ure, a wealthy Ohio magnate, and his wife, and to furnish the excite ment, public enemy No. 1, who is making a frenzied dash for the border and freedom.

LANDON BLASTS AT RELIEF MEASURES (Continued from Page 1). hire will again come to its own," the speaker declared. From his plea for the agricul turalists. Landon shifted to the ad ministration of public relief. "Altho idealists may have been at the front door preaching social justice, party henchmen have been at the back door handing out the jobs," he charged. He furthered his plea for justice in the handling of pub lic works and relief by stating that "in the field of government today, the word 'equality' best de scribes our main objective." It is this inequality in the promotion of the present political set-up which has laid it open to such a magni tude of just criticism, he explained. To remedy the relief problem Landon said there were two im perative changes. "One is the de centralization of relief. The other calls for encouragement to the person who is trying again to be- . come self supporting. He further stated that such efforts for self support had been penalized in the past.

NEW YORK CITY. (ACP). Col umbia University Law Schools' Dean Young B. Smith believes that law students today are being trained to be young provincials, and he believes that something should be done about it. In his annual report to the pres ident of the university, unusually critical this year, Dean Smith ad vocated a teaching of public law that should be more closely inte grated with private law. He said: "The government, political par ties and the people generally are measuring the fundamental law in an intensive effort to bring eco nomic legislation in business, la bor and agriculture within the framework of the constitution. "Considerations of public inter est of the national economy are present more aand more in the ad judication of disputes which had called only for the application of the formulae concerning private wrongs or obligations. The stu dent must be led to see that more is involved than the mere evolu tion and application of common law rules." Law courses also should incor porate sufficient foreign material to counteract "the tendency of law students toward smug provincial ism," Dean Smith said. Study of legal problems and the solutions they have received in other coun tries promotes "a healthy skepti ism in regard to the completeness and permanence of our own solu tions," the report observed. To enable law schools to carry out a better job of teaching, larg er funds must be made available for their budgets, Dean Smith said. "One has only to compare the budgets of law schools with those of medical and other professional schools to realize that this is so," he commented, adding that con sidering the limited funds at their disposal the law schools have "done remarkably well."

"A most perplexing problem has been thumping thru my brain since I came to the university," re marked the university student, new to the campus, but a third year man in ranking. "And may I inquire, forgive me for being personal, what your brain fever may be?" his fellow undergraduate, wise to the ways of the school, interrogated. "Well, my friend, it all simmers down to this. I've been on this in telectual ground a matter of only weeks and already I wonder about things. For instance why anyone could undergo the confines of a small state college with the facil ities of a state university in his grasp, is more than I can under stand. And," continued the new comer, "this conclusion is not one I've come to rashly. "I thought you spent two years in one of our state colleges, and liked it," prodded the old student. "You're right and you're wrong, there. I spent two years in a small college because I wasn't aware of the shortcomings of the education for which I was paying dearly. I can see now the delusion I was laboring under. It was a case of what I didn't know not hurting me." "Now, just a minute," broke in he who was without other than university experience. "That sounds like an indictment of our small colleges." "Indictment or not, it's a con clusion to which one who has come to know both institutions of learning can't help discovering.

"The ability of those instructors alone is enough to disqualify many of their clan from comparison with professors on this campus. It Is positively a revelation to hear anniA of the nrofessors lecture: they leave little doubt in the mind as to their knowledge or me sud Ject in hand. For instance in my political science course the instruc tor's lectures are not only concise in their presentation, but combine rare diction with well chosen vo cabulary. "I'm inclined to think of my old college in connection with an arti cle in a recent Atlantic Monthly, wherein the author, Wendell Brooks Phillips writes on "I was Fired From a Hick College." If he hadn't painted a southern locale for his college, I might have been tempted to situate the scene some where on the Nebraska prairie. "Mr. Brooks depicted the bigo tries of the 'hick' college in no un certain terms. I recall he quotes words something to this effect, 'It is unpleasant but true that the real college is a collection of lame ducks, fanatical, religious per verts, and sanctimonious asses.
