Tau. Sigma Chi, Phi Alpha Delta,
Acacia, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta
Upsilon, Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma
Phi Epsilon, Alpha uamma nno,

und Lambda Chi Alpha.
A report on the postponed stu
dent forum by Bill Marsh, revealed
that the committee intends to spon
sor a tonim with the same discus'
sion subject "Subsidization of
Athletes" as soon as the opportu
nity permits. Inability of Fred
Ware, sports editor of the Omaha
World Herald, to be present to
speak in defense of subsidization
was the cause of the postponement,
Review Class Plan.
George Pipal, president of the
junior class, reviewed plans for a
class council, proposed earlier in
the year by James Marvin, senior
class president. Questioning and
discussion followed by council
members as to the feasability of
the plan, and it was referred to
the organizations committee for
consideration.
Jean Walt reported that the A.
W. S. board decided student coun
cil membership should remain a
"B" activity as previously slated
on the revised point system. Sev
eral members of student council
feel that it should be a ,,C" activity
so that more activity leaders will
be allowed to be members, even
though they participate in other
organizations, highly pointed.
The following committee was ap
pointed to appear before the A. W.
S. board to request a reconsidera
tion of the decision: Virginia Sel
leck, Faith Arnold and Irving Hill.
Marylu Petersen, chairman of
the N. S. F. A. committee gave a
report of the convention held re
cently in Lincoln, in which dele
gates from eleven schools partici
pated. She announced that letters
have been received from many of
the representatives, expressing
their appreciation of the hospital
ity shown them, and the benefit
they received from the discussions.
DR. WIEMAN CLOSES
Final Address Deals With
Problems of True
Christians.
"Religion and the Social Con
flict" was the subject with which
Dr. Henry Nelson Wicman, pro
fessor of the philosophy of religion
at the University of Chicago,
closed his series of addresses which
he has been giving during the
past week in observance of Relig
ious Welfare Week, sponsored on
the university campus by the Re
ligious Welfare Council.
University Meeting.
The subject Dr. Wieman devel
oped last evening at a discussion
meeting held for young people at
7:15 o'clock in the University
Kpiscopal church dealt with the
subject of the problems which
true Christians would be forced to
meet with the future changes in
the social order. "When institu
tions, ideals and habits of men fit
their structure, everything goes
well, but as soon as the old order
docs not fit, there is conflict," the
speaker pointed out.
Explaining that the three orders,
which stood paramount in most
persons minds with the suggestion
of a change, were: Communism,
Facism, and Capitalism. Dr. Wie
man commented, "With the change
of social orders, I am convinced
that It will not be transformed Into
any one of the three." In mak
ing this statement he conceded
that only one order might be
adopted and this only temporarily,
the order' of which he spoke be
ing Facism.
Wieman Appeals To Religious.
Dr. Wieman emphasized the fact
that at times when the question
of social conflict arose, those per
sons who have their sensitivities
fitted to the old structure find it
difficult to make a translation,
and thus it is necessary to sum
mon all the powers of devout re
ligious strength possible
Points which Dr. Wieman sug
gested as being essential for a
Christian to follow in periods of
conflict included the sustaining
and promoting of a social system
for the cooperation and communl
tive action among men, superior
to that of the present day; the
fact that he must remember that
the meanings which unite him and
his enemy are greater than those
things In which they have op
position; the necessity of commit
ting oneself to the sustaining
might of God who protects with
out violence, and the desirability
of forming purposes, objectives
ind ideals which will be of a pro
gressive nature.
At the conclusion or nls address
an open forum was held and ques
tions on the subject which he had
discussed were answered by Dr.
Wieman.

Background.
Discussing engineering trends
at the Sigma Tau initiation ban
quet helde Tuesday evening at the
Lincoln hotel, Prof. J. W. Haney,
head of the mechanical engineer
ing department, declared that the

coverer, a creator, and an educa
tor." Citing the fact that schools are
requiring a broader background
of engineering graduates, Profes
sor Haney stated that engineers
must now "found their mental
lives on the spirit of science rather
than on the spirit of precedents."

neer of the future must be a busi
ness man, must have a knowledge
of the humanities, must know his
own limitations, must be familiar
with social and economic forces
as related to the profession and
to society as a whole, must con
sider men more important than
machines, and "must realize that
the art of living in itself is a fas
cinating science which is more
than worth his while to master."
