I CbwuiuL and nn i it it ir J-L JL JLJLs - EBRA dbouL Official Student Newspaper of the University of Nebraska Daily fill SKAN Mi. Sarah . MO Meyer Honest Pro f castor I Am Sorry. Yesterday morning a student openly stood up before his hun dred zoology classmates nml apol ogized to them, the instructor, and the university for cribbing in a two hour quarterly and for wast ing their time in apologizing. In an institution like the University of Chicago he would have been expelled immediately upon the dis covery of his offense. And at Chi V., where the students themselves report cheating', Diogenes is on the verge of blowing out his lamp. Maybe better days are in store for the honest souls on this campus. We report, in passing, the re turn to the fold of Smith Davis, and more currently, Damon San den. Both hail Immediately from sunny California, where Mr. Sanden utilized his sojourn In growing a moustache. From the climatically chilly reception he received, we deem It nothing short of psychic insight for self protection. The ago of chivalry is not dead. We have seen it with those very eyes. Out of the Temple one bright and thawing afternoon hurst two youngsters. He was loudly scor ing: Her for not being a lady and opening the heavy door for Him. Stopped in their wild flight at the curb by a vast pool of grimy slush, She imperiously demanded that He carry Her across. He gathered the damsel into His arms and leapt, landing splashingly in the middle of the wetness. He delivered Her safely to the door of Her car, climbed into His, and off they both roared. Oh these younguns! Whenever anyone enters Dr. Louise Pound's office these days she will thrust a copy of the last Awgwan under his nose, point an accusing finger at the offending section therein, and explode. It seems that Editor Billie Hollister in writing of the esteemed lady stated that she "peddled"' all over Europe. The campus philologist, Billie Boy, is not that sort of a bicyclist. We never cease to start with surprise when we encounter an honesttogawd athlete about school. It's sort of the awe one feels upon encountering all front page per sonalities in person. We'll never forget how we took in all Mrs. Roosevelt's chins when she was in Lincoln during last year's cam paign. But we hereby dare to ven ture that, some of the beefy Iwiys have characteristic expressions just as individual as the First Lady's jaw line. All-America n Francis, for ex ample, is known to all as "Smil ing Sam." Ken McGinnis grins broadly at the world like a little boy plotting mischief. Charley Brock, at the shrine of whose beauty we have worshipped silent ly since fall, constantly wears a preoccupied, slightly soured ex pression. Floyd F.baugh. who we see chiefly going to or coming from a woodworking class in Teacher's basement, appears aloof ly bewildered. Bob Parsons has gazed upon the hoi polloi with wide-eyed amazement ever since we first encountered him as a sophomore in high school-a feat which stands him in good stead in a free-for-all basketball game when fouls fill the air. Johnny Howell's somewhat quizzical coun tenance seems to beg "Please go way and let me sleep". Elmer Dohrmann plays the smoothie, Clyde White's lowered eyelids suggest the Wised Up Kid. "Speed" Jacohson looks foxy, lefty Larry Nelson seems dazed. Kolyn Bosc'hult always gives the impres sion of being in the act of avoid ing the professor whose class he just skipped. Bernie Smith must be eternally concocting some tall tale to startle the uninitiated. But our favorite of them all is little Bob Mario, whose non-stop good humor is a joy to contact and be hold. He alone does not seem to . ... jj ... (Continued on Page 4.) AG SENIOR TO DISCUSS TESTS roit LONCHETE Society of Ag Engineers To Hear Addreen Iy G. M. Petersen. George M.

Stockton Points Major Errors in Scarcity Theory PBK's Hear Business Dean Of K.U. on Fallacies in Economic Trends. Speaking on our "Current Kco- nontio Fallacies," Dean Frank T. Stockton of the University of Kansas school of business ad dressed members of the Nebraska chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, na tional honorary scholastic frater nity, at the University club last evening. The meeting was the monthly dinner held by the so ciety. Pointing out many faults in our present capitalistic system, Dr. Stockton maintained that our ma jor economic fallacy is a group of ideas which revolve around the concept that society should sub sidize certain interests. In aim, these ideas ignore fundamental concepts of cost and purpose to give to different groups more than they can command in the open market. In many instances the proposed policies are restrictive upon production, Dean Stockton stated. Public Challenges Economist. "The notion that wc may grow richer thru increasing the cost of production is an old and, evident ly, a never dying concept." the Kansas professor said. "It ap pears to be the guiding principle in all scarcity economics." Dr. Stockton first pointed out that the public generally agrees with the teacher of engineering or mathematics, but the teacher of philosophy, history, or economics is usually challenged. In the course of his lecture the speaker discussed the NRA, the railway act of 1933, the AAA, the pro tective tariff, and the Townsend old age pension plan, as each agency concerns the economic sys tem of the present day. Lower Production Costs. The first fallacy of our ceo-1 nomic order is the fact that prog- ress can be attained tnru disso lution," Dr. Stockton stated. "To mv mind, all economic progress depends upon the possibilities of satisfying an increasing number of human wants thru a decline In the cost of producing the desired goods and services. II is incon ceivable that what we call prog ress can be achieved thru increas ing the costs of production and thereby the prices of commodities and services. Cost reduction does not mean that wages must be low and profits high. "The best industries in our country are those which seek to expand thru reduced prices, which maintain satisfactory wage scales.

"Persons who have not paid all but the final installment on their 1937 Cornhuskers by Feb. 15 will have the copies previously re served for them placed in the group to be resold," stated Sid Baker, business manager of the yearbook. Progress on the yearlook publi cation is rapid, according to Bdl Marsh, editor of this year's an nual.

KEPOItTEK FINDS TINY OKCIIIDS IN WINTEK SETTING A bit incongruous perhaps to search for jungle orchids in the midst of a snow covered campus, but a Daily Nebraskan reporter working on a tip from the Botany department found not only the hu midity of their tropic setting, but the orchids themselves in the uni versity greenhouse. Tiny family friend of the best girl's formal ctr age, a rare spe cies (Orchidaceae in Botany lan guage), blooms only eight weeks every six months. Three of the blossoms are now holding court in hanging baskets over the lily pool in the west greenhouse. Mr. Schnitter, manager of the greenhouse, will hold open house by the lily pool for the next eight weeks and extends an informal in vitation to the student body to visit the unusual floral display, sometime before April.

"For many years it has been the love of tradition and the gentle urge to enjoy an evening given over to the pleasurable pastime of recalling one's college days that has fired and kept intact the alumni gatherings over the coun try," remarked Ray E. Ramsay, alumni secretary. "But instead of that intangible 'something', which for the past 68 years has pointed the way for alumni programs along every front, we are proud to present a new theme song for this year's programs, the university's new union building." All the Charter Day dinners and meetings next Monday will be cen tered about the campaign to raise LINCOLN. NKIMASKA. TUKSDAY. FKMUJAItY 9, 1937. LHAI'KKON AKNDT SIIIYEMEI) Al-TKK DANCE: ISO O'COAT "Oh yes, it was a fine party," commented Prof. Karl Arndt on the Inter-fraternity ball, "the music was fine, nice people, every thing that could be asked for, but it was awfully cold going home." The suavo economics teacher, who was recently voted one of the three most popular professors on the campus, continued in his same sly vein, "You know, I've chape roned four parties this year and so far it's only cost me two pair of gloves, a scarf, a hat, and an overcoat." Discounting about 90 percent for exaggeration, which is the formula, for discovering the modi cum of fact in the quip artist's humor, disclosed that Professor Arndt recently lost his overcoat at the Intcrf rat emit y ball. Th master of money, banking, and witticisms examined all of the overcoats in his 9 o'clock eco nomics class in search of the lost article, but in vain.
