BARB AWS BOARD No Hohgol.lin for Phi Ret a Kappa. :) William Wilson Marsh, who re y joiced over the list of newly named j Phi Beta Kappas because he : wouldn't have to buy a wctch i chain, let us in on some little dope ; concerning the honorary. It seems that Dr. Rinmuth told his Roman History class that P. B. K. stood ! for the Greeks: "Philosophia Bios i Kubernatum," which means "Phil osophy Governs Life." The natty Mr. Marsh wrote the Greek char- i acters before our awestruck eyes, an ability which he tells us he 1 "just picked up." Concerning- our own intellect we have no delusions, so ay discount ing of ideas should hereby be made in advance. But we do dare to comment on the 'annual du plicity of parts of the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi membership. This year Bill Leavitt and Bob Rundre are the sole lucky doubles They're swell guys, and the dual reward constitutes a real accom plishment. But from our limited knowledge of the philosophical scientific battles that occasionally rend the air of the drowsy classrooms of this campus, it would seem to us that the combination is a hit inconsistent. Those who hold that philosophy !s paramount are ever at the throats of the fact finding-, re search deifying- men of science. We do not say that the two views arc necessarily mutually exclusive. Our honors convocations speaker was an example to the contrary; a man of practical and scientific training-, he lauded the liberal arts cur riculum. Yet Dean Moore has the wisdom of many thoughtful years behind him, and is an exception to general rule. Of course there is nothing so terrible in this slight discrepancy of standards of memberships or the two much publicized honones. For superior persons don't have to follow the rules of the lesser en dowedand rightfully so, no doubt. Foolish consistency, the bright boys tell us, is the hobgoblin of little minds. ' Preservation of the Priceless. In emergencies we all more or less dramatically exhibit crite ria which are not so evident in our ordinary course of action. The unfortunate girl who lost her balance so completely as to fall directly on her face in Sosh yesterday held her books aloft to ward them from the impact of the tumble. We recall a time when our kid sister tilted us out of a canoe into a cold river fully clothed. We rose to the surface after our unexpected plunge with our wrist watch arm held aloft. Strange, useless things are in evidence in the packs of the Spanish refugees. Man is an Ir rational creature aren't we? Little Bombs for Eleanor. Everybody has had the expe- rience of being in a spot that called for super-quick thinking. It is those minor crises that test the diplomacy of the spotted. For ex ample there are those times when you don't somehow make a class, and run gaily into the instructor later during "the day. Your nicest smile must always be ready for such occasions. But sometimes the situation is a serious, even a critical one. Es timations of genius rise or fall from the poise shown in a major dilemma: The Readers' Digest" re counts a tale of Eleanor Roose Roosevelt's imperturbability. Dur the war a "concussion" jarred Washington, and the Roosevelts ; hurried iown wreckage strewn streets to find their home badly shakes, with windows shattered and the whole place strewn with evidence of the blast. Racing fran tically upstairs where "Johnny" had been loft safe in his bed, Mrs. Roosevelt discovered him sleepily rubbing his eyes and asking was It a bomb, and Eleanor calmly told him to go right back to bed "it was just a little bomb." .germaFcWwill meet Dr. Saul M.

The arrangement has been that one member of the regular A.W.S. board is in charge ot the board. The original purpose was that board membership should not cm stitute an activity in itself, but should be a means bv which all barb irirls could Participate in ac tivities. At the present time board membership is included as a B ac tivity in the point system organ ized by tho regular A. W. S. board. The principal function of the (Continued on Page 4.)

SEEKS FEDERAL AID Asks Appropriation for Experiment Station In Forestry. M. B. Jenkins, director of re search, who has been conducting a survey of forest conditions in Nebraska under the sponsorship of the conservation and survey divi sion, appeared before the agricul tural subcommittee on appropria tions at Washington last week to secure a $100,000 appropriation for the Great Plains Experiment Sta tion authorized by congress at its last session. This station will serve the Da kotas, southwestern Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, northern Mis souri, Iowa, Oklahoma and west ern Texas, an area which is one fifth the size of the United States, contains one-tenth of the popula tion, and produces 49 percent of the foodstuffs of the nation. Although there are at present 12 forest experiment stations serv ing other parts of the country, there are no stations exclusively devoted to agricultural forestry and tree planting in the plains re gion. Purpose of the new station is to carry on research of those species and varieties of trees and shrubs both for farm and orna mental planting, which will sur vive under the vastly varying soils and climatic conditions of that area.
