To the Editor:
If you want to really do some
thing" in your columns to help stu
dents on the campus, I have a
legitimate gripe that needs airing,
which you can turn into a cam
paign with my compliments.
I've been taking chemistry for
three years, but even the one year
students can tell you what rotten
service they have in the supplies
departments. You wait in line for
half the period, sign away your
birthright, then, if the supplies
man has the time or inclination,
he digs up your order.
We pay for the stuff; why can't
we get service?

An Evaluation
of Life
By Rev. G. Rembolt.
Evangelical Student Pastor.)
Thf. rhallenee o feducation is
not to accumulate much wisdom
but rather to learn how to live.
By accepting this purpose of ed
ucation we are compelled to go
back to the master Teacher, Jesus
of Nazareth, for our truest pat
tern. One of the unique characteristic
of Jesus was his keen sense of
evaluation. In the matter of prayer
and worship. He made a sharp dis
tinction between the externals of
religion and real fellowship with
God; concerning charity. He con
demned the plaudit regarding hu
man relationships. He had no use
for the fellow who was only inter
ested in those who showed friend
liness or was friendly in return,
but Instead commanded to love
your enemies; relative to the in
dividual, He called attention to the
reed of evaluating that wmcn con-;
stitutes the warp and woof of life. !
His pungent question which still
challenges men and especially the
student was, "For what doth itj
profit a man, to gain the whole ,
world, and forfeit his life?"
This question immediately calls
forth an evaluation or mat oi
which we are inclined to hold dear
and to seek after. According to
these words from the Master ours
is not the only generation that
might be classified as a materialis
tically minded people. Neverthe
less, it is highly significant that
we make the proper evaluation of
those things which constitute val
ues for us so that we may live
the richest life that it is possible
for us to live. The desire to ob
tain the fullest and richest life
possible is the urgent quality of
all conscious life. However, we of
ten forego that pleasure due to
a lack of proper evaluation.
The human cry today continues
to be for things. And yet we are
compelled to say with one of
America's greatest modern preach
ers. "The greatest hell that one
can imagine is to live in a world
in which we have everything with
which to live, and nothing for
which to live."
There is much for which to live.
Think of the possibilities in the
realization of the biggest self hood,
the ideal home, and the Christian
community. No greater challenge
can come to any young person
and particularly to our student
groups today than that which the
challenge to evaluate life presents.
May we always evaluate that for
which we are" living and thus ex
perience a richer personal life, ar
rive at a more pleasant home life,
and realize a community life that

Yea, the. question still is. "For
what shall a man give in exchange
for his life?"
It is by way of duty that one
takes in hand the latest volume of
plays by goat-bearded Bernard
Shaw, variously called the world's
greatest living genius and the
world's greatest bore.
"The Simpleton of the Unex
pected Isles." according to Shaw,
is a play written on the thesis
that there will be a day of judg
ment despite our modern scepti
cism. In order to prove this and
as a satire on our modern trust in
science, Shaw raises a mythical
island out of the sea and peoples
it with Englishmen and Asiatic
Indians. In an endeavor to cre
ate a new race with the best qual
ities of the east and the west he
makes use of a system of eugen
ics which has elements of Aldous
Huxley's "Brave New World" and
Noel Coward's "Design for Liv
ing," and which is not half so in
genious as the former nor so
amusing as the tatter.
Humor Fails to Click.
Shaw lashes out now and then
with attacks on democracy, or
thodox religion, and sanctions,
but they have no place in the
unity of the structure. When the
angel appears to announce that it
is the day of judgment, Shaw at
tempts to produce humor by hav
ing Sir Charles exclaim, "Well
111 be damned!" To which the
angel replies. "Very possibly."
Shaw proceeds with this brand of
unfunnyness by making it neces
sary for the angel to have to seek
a second story roof in order to
"tak off" for Fngland.
"The Six of Calais," a short
one act play, has to do with the
historical surrender of the city
of Calais. In 1347, to Edward
Plantagenet the Third. Shaw ex
plains in the preface that the play
was written solely as a good act
ing piece. If, by a good acting
piece he means one with a king
who begins by cursing his inferiors
in perverted Shakespearian dic
tion, who breaks into sobs when
his wife crosses him. and who ends
by facetiously barking "Grrrr" at
a defiant prisoner, then Shaw cer
tainly has succeeded.
Shaw Defends Play.
Shaw, irked by "the quaint il
literacy of our modern London
journalists" who criticized the
first production of this play,
points out to the reader that the
historical characters are not ex
aggerated, but are like any un
l est rained human beings. This no
doubt accounts for such cat call
ing to the king as "Hah! Hen
pecked! Kiss Mammy!" and "Yah,
cry baby!"
The third play, "The Millionair
ess," is preceded by a long pref
ace on bosses in which Shaw
glorifies Hitler and Mussolini and
then comes to the muddled con
clusion that it is communism and
democracy which preserve geni
uses for the world. He carries the
boss or dominator thesis into the
play in the person of the leading
character, Eplfanla, who is a ro
bust, athletic female, a cross be
tween Katherine In "The Taming
of the Shrew" and the late Thelma
Todd of the movies.
Resorts to Slapstick.
Sha-' sorts to slapstick in the
first scene, by having her flounce
into a chair, the back of which
immediately snaps off. As if this
weren't Hollywood enough, he has
her reply to the query. "What has

WASHINGTON, D. C. When
congress assembled recently for its
first session, there arose to take
his nnth of office a new member
who looked young enough to be
a college senior rather than a
representative in the national con
gress. As a matter of fact, he is
only slightly older than many col
lege seniors and, perhaps, not as
old as many students who complete
their undergraduate work and go
to professional schools to prepare
themselves for the practice of med
icine or law.
The "baby-congressman" is 27
L-r r,!-1 T vIa H. Boren of Okla-
ihoma who defeated tie incumbent
"cowbov congressman" Gassoway
I and a field of eight other candi-
dates to win his seat in the house.
We hear a lot about tne neea
for young people in politics; and
here is one. Boren finished his
studies at Oklahoma A. and M. in
1932 and now, less than four years
later hp'K in conETess. He was
doing graduate work at the A. and
M. school after being graduated
from East Central Teacher's col
lege at Ada. Okl., in 1929.
The young congressman taught
school for a while after finishing
college, worked for the govern
ment, wrote "Who Is Who In Ok
lahoma" and devoted himself to
other literary work.
College students who eye the fu
ture with hopes of political suc
cess may watch Boren's carrer
with interest. It may be worth
while to compare the tactics of the

Paging Jhe
Smart Goed
By Helena Rubinstein.
In this morning's mail I found
three letters on hair. Two of them
were written more in pity than in
anger, but the third was downright
indignant.
"Brush your hair at least ten
minutes every day!" That may be
all very well for people with long
hair and buns. But if you had just
had your short, straight hair set,
would you go home and begin
brushing it for ten minutes? Why
in ten minutes there'd be nothing
left of all those new and beauti
ful waves and end curls! Brush
ing may be all right if you can
have your hair set every day. I
call it extrvagance."
Well, it's not extravagance. And
brushing your hair every day for
ten minutes does not mean a "set"
every day. While I wouldn't brush
my hair imemdiately after a "set,"
because I'd want to make sure it
dried completely. I would brush it
immediately before and I'd cer
tainly brush it the day after.
Brushing the hair does not pull
out the curl. On the contrary, it
makes the waves and curls look
more natural and stay in longer.
It makes the hair more tractable
than mere combing can.
It also gives the hair that beau
tiful sheen and sparkle which is
sufficient in itself to make any
hair admired. The reason for this
is twofold. Firstly, brushing is the
only exercise your hair can have.
It stimulates the scalp and there
fore the roots, and just as you
vourself feel and look omre glow-
ins after exercise, so your hair
does after brushing. Secondly,
brushing gives your hair added
brilliance and gloss, because it
cleans the hair, iou know how
dusty a -table top gets in the
course o fa day, and if you doni
brush it frequently, it becomes
sticky and dull looking.
Just one more point. Brushing
is not merely a matter of straight
downward strokes from the top of
the head. This kind of brushing
only reaches a little of the hair,
and if your hair happens to be
thick, it hardly touches the scalp
at all. Begin by brushing your hair
all around your head from the
hairline up. Then, dividing th
hair into segments all over your
head, brush each thoroly for a
few minutes.
"Among the American plains
Indians, horseplay, teasing, prac
tical jokes and satiric si remarks
are encouraged. These customs
serve to organize hostility in a so

of heckling.

The proposed station has been ap
proved by both the president and

not included in the budget.
"The area to be served by this
proposed regional station will in

Former Student of Weaver
. Completes Important
Ecology Research.
Some research completed by Dr.
W. W. Nedrow, who received his
Ph. D. degree under Dr. J. E. Wea
ver, professor of plant ecology at
the university, demonstrates that
many species of Nebraska plants
can grow without water in the
first three to five feet of soil. Such
plants as the wild rose, blazing
star, and others are rooted 15 to
25 feet deep and thus can depend
upon moisture from the subsoil.
In this respect these native species
behave like sweet clover and al
falfa, in that they are able to resist
dry periods because of their abil
ity to draw moisture from under
ground water sources.
In order to see whether or not
these plants could live without wa
ter in the first five feet of soil,

it is instinctive, but you do feel a

"W hat course that you have taken

was put to a group of undergrad

your own views on a certain sub

"Industrial relations. I am deep

planting should be done in the
drier regions of this area without
the technical advice of those who
have scientific knowledge of soils,
climatic conditions, and water ta
ble levels as these factors are re
lated to the various species. Such
a forest experiment station located
in this region would furnish this
information."
According to Jenkins, there arc
already 12 regional stations in the
United States which serve every
area with the exception of the
middle west, where the tree plant
ing problem is even more difficult.
The Nebraska forester said that
he is not making a plea for locat
ing the station in any particular
state, but the main problem is see
ing that an appropriation is forth
coming to make such a program
possible. He was gone three weeks
in his last visit to Washington at
which time he received the sup
port not only of influential con
gressmen but of forest service di
rectors and others interested in
building up the country's natural
resources.

Dr. Nedrow and Dr. Weaver laid
bare the root system of the plants
under observation to this depth
and encased the roots in metal
cylinders filled with dry sand.
They found that these plants
passed through the usual sequence
of growth and blossoming.
According to Dr. Ned row's Ph.
D. research findings which were
printed In Ecology, when water Is
scarce plants specialize on making
a good root growth while the tops
are retarded. For example, in
moist soil the tops outweighed the
roots 5 to 1, but in dry soil the
ratio waa reduced to about 3.5
to 1.
University experiments on
grasses showed that these plants
make a good growth only when
the surface foot is moist. They
make a fair growth when water
occurs only in the second foot, but
are still able to "make hay" even
if only the root ends in the third
to fifth foot are supplied with
water.

they were contrary to the consti
tution under an enlightened in
terpretation, but because they were
contrary to tho laissez faire ami
narrow legalistic, social and eco
nomic philosophy of the majority
justices. This constitutes the chief
charge against the court. It has
itself been guilty of violating the
constitution and the separation, of
powers by usurping political and
legislative power."
Professor Aylsworth maintained
that the effects of this unconstitu
tional exercise of judicial review
are made worse by the lack of any
method of gradual change in the
personnel of the court that cor
responds with great changes in po
litical, social, and economie
thought from decade to decade. He
believes that the changes in the
court personnel have been largely
hap-hazard, accidental, and a gam.

"Jackson appointed six judges
Lincoln and Taft. each five in only
four years, Wilson only three in
eight years, Harding four in only
two years, and Coolidge only one
in six years. Judges, who have

status quo, cling to their posi

Court Out of Date.
"The result," Mr. Aylsworth
holds, "13 to, perpetuate unduely
long and fasten upon a new gen
eration, the political and economic
ideas of from 25 to 50 years ago.
Only four judges have resigned
on account of age in the last 30
years. The court is more congested
now with aged men than at any
other time in its history. On th
first of May the average of the six
oldest will be 75 and five-sixths
years, and of the five oldest 76
and three-fourths years."
Maintaining that the presidents
;
a change in tno
unprecedented, the political science
professor feels that such charges
are gross misrepresentations, tuu
of ignorance or partisanship, and
designed to mislead and inflame
the uninformed. The power of con
press to determine and change
the size of the supreme court, up
or down, is beyond question, and
has been exercised repeatedly. '
"There may be some question as
to the political expediency or pro
priety of the president's proposal,"
Professor Aylsworth asserted
when he was queried on that is
sue. "However, if convinced that.,
the court is abusing its authority
and usurping legislative power,
the congress may well be justified
in using its weil recognized con
stitutional power to protect itself
and the people it represents. All
political history teaches that in
times of great stress and strain
the delicate niceties of normal
times snap."
Gradual Change.
"The President's proposal pro
vides for a more gradual and reg
ular change in the membership of
the court. It will prevent for the
future, the present over congestion
of aged men. It is to be regretted
that it was not adopted years ago.
Of course it will permit the presi
dent to appoint six new justices,
but they will not be Roosevelt
puppets. Only outstanding men,
progressive, patriotic Americans,
will be appointed. All must run the
gauntlet of the senate for con-,
firmation."
"I believe," Professor Ayls
worth concluded, "the welfare of
our country will not be endan
gered by receiving and continuing
the judicial statesmanship of Mar
shal thru jurists of the type ofJ
Holmes. Brandei3, and Cordozo
whose decisions sustain genuine
judicial review and oppose judicial
usurption of political and legisla
tive power."
