H. Morten of the teachers college faculty told delegates attending the state convention of the Ne braska Federation of Women's Clubs, meeting in Beatrice Wed nesday, that in 1925-26 Nebraska spent $31,200,000 for schools and in 1934-35 only $18,343,000. Dur ing the same period, he said, the expenditures of state government here increased from $15,082,000 in 1925-26 to $19,950,000 in 1934-35. During this period school expenses declined 41 percent. He said: "All other comparable midwest- em states now exceed us in av erage yearly expenditure per pupil in average daily attendance. In 3921-22 Nebraska ranked 11th in the proportion of its tax money expended for education. By 1931 32 we had dropped to 43rd place in the percent of taxes devoted to the schools. Last year, while Ne braska spent only IS million dol lars in educating her youth. 30 million dollars was spent for in toxicating liquor. Our expenditures for tobacco, soft drinks, chewing gum, and theater entertainment also exceedeil our total public school cost by more than 10 mil lion dollars. "The above figures would seem to indicate that if Ncbraskans want education badly enough they can find the money to pay for it," gaid Dr. Morton. PROF.

Political Commentator Raymond Clapper says we are cursed with a mania for exaggeration and baloney. German Exchange Professor Schoenemann remarks that Amer icans tako their politics a good deal lighter than his nazi brothers. Citing Mark Twain to the effect that Americans have freedom of speech and freedom of press plus the prudence to exercise neither, Schoenemann emphasized his be lief that the Germans definitely lack humor in their political bat tles. States' Rights Issue. When asked what were the most Important issues in the fracas, Professor Sonning declined to ex press an opinion. Fcllman voiced the belief that the curious switch of the republicans from the Ham iltonian traditions to that of Jef ferson and of the democrats from that of Jefferson to that of Ham ilton bids fair to turn into the most important issue of the cam paign.

PARTYJERMS ISSUED Agreement Holds Organized Clubs to Four Parties Each Weekend. RHninne- finalitv to a long exist. ing dispute between the Musicians' Union and the organized Greek houses, new house party contracts were issued to the campus social chairmen at their meeting in the Delta Delta Delta house, Tuesday night. The contracts pertained only to orchestras in the union. Because several fraternities were unaware of the new ruling that only four parties be allowed per weekend, Bill Cline, social chair men club member, made arrange ments to allow them to overlook the limitation. Cline urged that in the future all social chairmen reg ister their dates early to avoid re fusal of a party. At the meeting Bob Houston was elected president of the social chairmen's organization. Jean Tucker was named secretary. Arrangements were also made for a social chairmen's Tea Dance in the near future. F Interclub A. W. S. Boards to Greet New Students in Armory.

Armaments Cost 22 Billions Since 1920 Says Speaker. "Peace and war are the great est problems confronting people of the world today," Congressman Henry C. Luckey of the first Ne braska district declared to stu dents of the university in a non political speech given in the Tem ple yesterday, "and yet there is a hill passed by the house of repre sentatives and tabled in the sen ate that will take the profits out of war. Private Interests, lobbying in the senate have curtailed pass ing of the greatest peace meas ure that could be legislated." Luckey, a strong advocate of peace, stated that the "war to make the world safe for democ racy" has been followed by a pe riod of armament building that from 1920-1934 amounted to 22 billions of dollars in the United States. "Fascism, nazism and commu nism have taken a firm hold on most of the great governments of the world," he continued. "Only America and Great Britain have escaped this trend, and it is the duty of the youth of this country to maintain the freedom that they have enjoyed so long." One Armament Head.

PREHISTORIC BEASTS E Barbour Declares the State Contains Wealth of Fossil Quarries. Nebraska brine grtiat arena for the precursors of our modern ele phants, horses, dogs, cats, cows and other domestic animals, Dr. E. H. Barbour, head of the Nebraska State museum, told members of the American Society of Civil En gineers at a meeting last night in Morrill Hall. Dr. Barbour discussed the fossil fauna of Nebraska and the chief centers of location. Slides were used to show how the prehistoric animals which we know of now only by skeleton must have looked when they roamed the plains and swamps of our state. The director of the museum particularly emphasized the collec tion of elephants mounted in Mor rill Hall, declaring it to be the greatest collection of its kind in the world. The fossil skeletons erected in the museum, explained the speaker, show the great wealth of fauna that is present in our state and make it very evident that in prehistoric times this coun try was the home of many hun dreds of animals that are either extinct or now found only in re mote regions of the world.

They decided to unite ana make their tours together. Stopping in Lincoln for a lecWire, the two young men spoke on "Stu dent Life in Australia and India" at a meeting of the Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday r.ight. Oct. 21. "Americanism is a disease in In dia," said Sen. "American movies have taught our students slang and American customs and dress.

TO E OF ACTIVITIES TODAY Inter-organization Council Limits Choice to Two Major Societies. Carrying out the plan inaugu rated by the Interorganization Council this year of limiting fresh man women to participation in two major activities, freshman women will signify their preference of ac tivities on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week from 9 to 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith hall. Stressing the fact that women are definitely limited to signing for no more than two activities, Jean Walt, president of Mortar Board and chairman of the council, stated, "active participation in campus organizations will begin Monday for freshman women en rolled in the university, and those interested in sharing in the work of the various women's groups are requested to sign up either today or tomorrow if they have not al ready done so. Should this be im possible," Miss Walt continued, "girls will have an opportunity to attend the meetings of the two groups which they prefer, and sign their names at these meetings." In order to completely fulfill the purpose of the plan, according to Miss Walt, it will be necessary for girls to take an active part in those organizations for which they have signed. As an exception to the new sys tem, membership in the Barb A. W. S. league will not be counted as one of the two activities in which a girl has decided to partici pate. Members of the A. W.

COUNCIL RULES FACTION NAMES HUM BALLOTS Class President Aspirant: Run Without Party in Future. Election reformers scored a ma jor victory yesterday when the Student Council abolished all fu ture publishing of faction names on junior and senior class presi dency ballots. Arising from a question regarding the responsi bility of the absence of party affiliation designations on Tues day's ballots, the council decided to settle future questions which may arise by forbidding their presence until some otl.-ir Student Council decides to rtatore them. Bill Marsh, proposer of the new law, declared the regulation to be a definite Ptep toward cleaning up politics on the campus, and at the same time quite definitely ex presses the attitude of the council toward reform. "This expression gives us some thing definite to work on," Marsh asserted. "It shows that the council is willing to support us in our attempt to eliminate all mal practices in our campus politics." Previous Reform Failed. Marsh recently served as chair man of an investigatory committee appointed by Student Council President Arnold Levin to analyze the rumored corrupt pra"tices in men's politics and to propose methods whereby the conditions might be improved. The fruit of the committee's report, providing for judiciary review of all faction's candidates, was defeated by the council on the grounds that its provisions were too vague and in definite. President Levin yesterday ap pointed another committee to car ry on the work begun by the prev ious one, which was automatically dissolved after its report prcced (Continued on Page 2.)
