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

auditorium, according to an an
nouncement by Ted Schroder,
president of the engineering ex
ecutive board in charge' of the
program.
Talking on "Reconstruction in
the Republican River Flood Area,"
Tilley will tell of the practices and
methods of repairing all the dam

of last spring.

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

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.

SAYS STUDENTS IN
LAW 'PROVINCIAL'
Columbia Dean Suggests
Broadening Studies.
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."

SMALL COLLEGE IUGOTRIES
SEEN BY TRANSFER STUDENT
By George Dobray.
"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. It's

wherein the author, Wendell

he hadn't painted a southern locale

tempted to situate the scene some
where on the Nebraska prairie.
"Mr. Brooks depicted the bigo

words something to this effect, 'It
