No Apology Necessary. I make no apology for our generation, for none is necessary, but I ask you in all sincer ity, what is the matter with yours? You have a great deal more to answer for than the relatively trivial offenses cited and their like. It is your generation at whose door may be laid the blame for the most costly and destructive war ever waped during the history of mankind. And before you draw the line and total up the sum. set down the cost of the greatest depression in economic history and make it a roundish sum. for the price of human gufferinp is rather difficult to count in dollars and cents. I read the other day that the Daughters of the American Revolution were poing to start a campaign to instill the spirit of patriot, ism into the youth of America which had late ly shown "radical tendencies." They were in structed that to do this they must see that youth is first clothed, housed and fed, or it 'would not be receptive. Do they suppose that the youth of America think with their bellies? Jf so. America is degenerate indeed. Do they think because we don't rush around waving flaps and shouting "America is the best damn country on earth": because we have anti-war strikes and form future veteran organizations to mock our elders who have made such a mess of things, lhat we are any less patriotic than those who trace their ancestry back to the Revolution? Past the Ukulele Age. Or does it mean that patriotism and think ing do not mix.? Our college generation is not that which is typified hy the ukulele, the coon skirr eoat, the Ford covered with slang expres sions, tho the American Legion, from its re cent utterances, seems to think so. Most of us do not consider ourselves "radicals" unless our sensitivity to the prob lems of the day, our search and anxiety to find answers to those problems, and our will ingness to change, if necessary, the most tra ditional and moss covered institutions put us within the boundary of that term. Most of us. at least of the student bodies, are not' driven to thought by economic neces sity. I, myself, have never known a day of hardship, but that does not make my mind less acute nor prevent my seeing the incongru ity of your peneratioti's admonishing our gen eration as tho you were saying to a naughty child. "Go away and don't bother papa." I think I speak for my generation when I nay that we are sick to death of platitudes and cliches of flap waving and heroic atti tudes, of "red" scares and patriotism that is talked rather than felt, of Father Coughlins and William Randolph Hearsts, of Huey Longs and Dr. Townsends. of soothing talks and ac cusations, of political parties and political corruption, and all the other paraphernalia which are our unsavory heritage. No. Mr. Editor, it is not ours which is the lost generation. Tt is yours. We only ask that you don't take us down with vou. H. R. BTXRS. Cambridge. Mass.

TO THE EDITOR: On the dav of the last convocation all classes were dismissed, or supposedly dis missed, from 10 until 12 o'clock. Those student 8 in the botany laboratories were told bv the instructors tha they were dismissed and then the instructors' casually mumbled in their beards that "altho they were dismissed, the work had to be made up at a future time." Such an arrangement as this was satisfactory for some of the students in the classes because they could, easily enough, make up the work. But. on the other hand, what of the students who hold jobs? Them regular classes and work did not conflict, but with this added three hour laboratory there was nolhing else to do, but to miss convoca tion and stay in the classroom and finish the required work. Now, Ivy day rolls around one day out of the rear that the entire student body may assemble and what does th botany depart mei.t do? Yes, you're right. There will be a botany class Ivy day morning, for those stu dents who find it impossible to make up this work at any other date. I dare say, if this same condition existed in every class Ivy day would have long since been forgotten. I have always been under the impression that the various departments of the arts and sciences college shared alike in importance. Maybe one botany assignment is more impor tant than Ivy day. Maybe? ?

Paul Sears We have warily removed from our noses and mouths the handkerchiefs which partially shielded us from the dust storms. But they are banished only for a short time, according to Dr. Sears, a former professor in the botany department at Nebraska. In our greedy march of civilization, stretches of natural vegetation have been looked upon as obstacles to human-ft-v ond now w a rp siift'erin r because we dis procedure. Dr. Sears does not write a weary saga on tne snorTsipnteu numan race, but uses pungent comments that are hor ribly timely, and especially disturbinp to Ne braskans facinp another drouth or flood. An important book, and better still, an interesting book, not only in its contents but in its print ig. excellently done by the University of Okla homa Press. V Bright Amhiish. Audrey Wiirdemann A new poet, from whom much is expected, places in her small book lyrics dealing with the simple fundamentals of emotional experi ences, love, the earth, revealed directly and delicately. Miss Wiedemann's poems have sincerity and charm, and invoke moods which cast new shadows on the familiar love, life, death. Milton Hose Macaulev Lively writing of Milton, the man. the ar rogant, self dedicated solitary, from the view point of a wise, tolerant, civilized woman. Her criticisms are devastating, but the praise more effective. Milton's irony toward women in spires her to a recurrence of lighthearted quips. Altho her lanpuape has been attacked as "a little undignified." she has assembled with skill and judgment, a book of true bi ographical value. Meteor Karel Capek A mysterious book that almost borders on verbal hysteria. "Meteor" deals with a man without a face. Case X. who has been horribly burned in a plane crash. In the hospital where he lies a poet, a nun and a clairvoyant each attempt to reconstruct the life history of Case X. It is an experimental novel, short, and sometimes brilliantly effective. Cleverly worked out. it dirt into the half world, ter rible with monsters end madness, of modern man. Oripinslly written in the Czech, it has been excellently translated. NIOBRARA REGION RICH IN ARCHAEOLOGY SITES Just returned from an Impor tant survey of some new archaeol ogical ite along the Niobrara river In northwestern Nebraska, Dr. Karl Boll, assistant professor of anthropology at the university, saya these sites are the richest that he has ever seen. After a more careful investigation of this part of tha atate this ummer, he believes that one of the unsolved problems In archaeology today, the question regarding tha culture of the iSoux and the other early In habitants of this country, will be answered satisfactorily from the artifacts that those Niobrara sites will furnish. Dr. Bell expects that one of the locations may contain a complete sequence of the early history of man in this part of tha country. IENT Horticultural Department Tests Reveal Depletion Of State's Land. There is considerable deficiency of important sub-eoil moisture in orchards of Nebraska, it was re vealed today from tests conducted by the horticulture department of the university department of ag riculture. The tests were obtained in com mercial orchards around Arling ton in a study of moisture require ments of tree and the availability of moisture. Sub-soil moisture in old orchards is so depleted that they are largely dependent on annual rainfall, ac cording to Prof. C. C. Wiggans and E. H. Hoppert of the horticul ture department. The results farther show, they said, "that in the future more care must be taken to save all of the an nual rainfall possible in order to give trees the best chance to sur vive." The evidence, it was indi cated, points to the fact that new trees should not be planted where subsoil is known to be depleted. The remits of the study bore out evidence obtained last year from tests made at the university's fruit farm at nlon. IOWA UNIVERSITY DEAN WRITES FOR PRAIRIE SCHOONER (Continued from Page 1). when he begins imagining sights. Kees' Story Humorous. The short story contributed by Kees is concerned mainly with the humorous trials of an old man who lives with his daughter-in-law. The old man does not get along very well with the young woman, and is continually having little arguments with her as she refuses to keep him in tobacco money. At the finish of one of these very heated sessions, the old rentleman receives a chain letter which he promptly reads. Of course, the old man fulfills all tne requirements of continuing the chain, and before long he finds himself deluged with ten cent pieces, which his daughter-in-law confiscates. The old man's fur ther troubles make up the comple tion of the story. "A Tale of Tails" is .an imag inary story, a fantasy in which the author tells a legend of the passing from ape to man. Issue Uses Same Cover. The summer issue will have the same cover as the new one used for the spring issue. According to Mr. Wimberly, the cover design will be changed as often as possi ble in the future publications. The summer issue will be printed and ready tor sale around the middle of May. Fiction Parade, nationally known New York literary magazine, has requested the privilege of reprint ing "Mr. Stover's Pants" by Jaque line Wright, which appeared in the spring issue. Dr. W imberly stated that more copies of the spring issue were sold than of any other issue. The current issue will be just as large as the spring one.

SUB-SOiL MOISTURE IN ORCHARDS DEF1C From a preliminary survey it looks as tho various cultures may be found on thia ona site, one on top of the other, from the first coming of man here until the present. "Nebraska is recognised as one of tha key states In tha mlddlewest as far as archaeological material Is concerned," ha says. "This last trip has only strengthened my be lief in this statement While the Sioux, Omahas and Otoes wan dered extensively in the Mississippi drainage territory and left their remains nl those places, the sites which will factually identify these cultures with these early Amer icans will probably be found along the Niobrara." A. T. Hill, director of the his torical aoclety and Dr. Waldo Wedel also of the society, made the trip with Dr. Bell. OFFICIAL BULLETIN Ivy Chain.

PROF ADVOCATES MORE WRITTEN EXAMINATIONS (Continued from Page 1). are taken. The board then oeter mines what percentage of the high group passes a certain question and what percentage of the low. For example, one question, 90 percent of the high students an swered correctly and only 50 per cent of the low, which is judged a correct average and thus a good question. If the percentages were reversed, then either the questions were poorly worded or the teacher had failed to make his point clear." Dr. Guilford believes every school will sooner or later come to this type of objective examination. The University of Chicago has al ready accepted it and has hired an examination board.

Wiley of Tulsa, Okla. Scheduled to lead two major forum discussions, Rev. H. G. Wiley, director of Christian edu cation in the First Presbyterian church of Tulsa, Okl., will be the main speaker at the annual meet ing of the Lincoln Council of Re ligious Education to be held on Monday, May 4, from 5 to A:S0 p. m. at the First Tlymouth Con gregational church of Lincoln. Representatives from the co-operating denominations of Lincoln to gether with the university and city Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C A. and such organizations as Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls make up the Religious Council. Rev. Wiley comes to Lincoln widely recommended for the out standing part that he has played in the organization and adminis tration of a church school program in Tulsa, which for many years received national notice. For the past 14 years, Mr. Wiley has been engaged as the director of Chris tian education in his church, and under his guidance the church school has increased its enrollment to 2,186, one of the largest in the entire Presbyterian church.

As dean of the Tulsa leadership train ing schools for the training of church school leaders, Mr. W lley issued 400 credits during the past year. Another achievement in the reli gious field which Rev. Mr. Wiley has to his credit is the forward Ing of the program of week day religious education in the city schools of Tulsa. By 1931, the total enrollment of school children re ceiving instruction in religion one hour a week was 11,000, and it was estimated that over f0 per cent of the children of school age of Tulsa were receiving religious education under the plan directed by Dr. Wiley.
