Order of the day in this, the last edition of the Daily Nebraskan. is retrospect and not to be outdone by final editorial, athletic and so cial reviews, Politieus attempts to touch upon the highlights of the 1938-37 campus political show. Ac cording to older and more exper ienced observers this year's politi cal strife will rank high in history as an example of the unexpected, the innovation and the coup d'etat in campus polities. The political ball began its roll ing following the factional split of the junior and senior class presi dencies in the fall, in a student council meeting when two senior men, bent on seeing that the dis cordant features of politics were removed, sought the passage of a measure to expunge faction names from ballots. Legislative bicker ing in the student council and its judiciary committee held the bill up. Comes time for the final vote and both factions sensing the damage the measure would in flictganged up, thru their stu dent council representatives, against the bill to kill it. Frats Kill Faction Bill. Undaunted the two reformers circulated a petition which re ceived sufficient signatures to warrant a balloting by the student body on taking faction names off the ballots. Fraternity strength, however, proved stronger than de sire to turn elections into popular ity contests, and the faction re form bill was voted down. At the same time, campus history was made by the entrance of a woman in the perennially masculine Ivy Day orator election. Faction alignment, as the spring election drew nearer, saw the barbs standing alone bickering with both factions and quite un decided as to what party to join. Feeling that they hadn't received what they wanted from the pro gressive faction, the barb leaders decided to hook up with the re vamped Greek Council faction, later recognized as Liberals, with the promise that they would re ceive council and pub board of fices. You all know what happened. The progressives made nearly a clean sweep of election posts, de spite the proven fact that the op posing faction had committed a breach of election rules by circu lating mimeographed sheets. A protest made by the progressive faction resulted in the judiciary committee finding the liberals guilty and warning that a repeti tion would necessitate punitive measures. Ag college, however, after a similar election rule violation in its election, did the city campus one better. Ag college officials called for a new election which was run off yesterday, climaxing an eventful year of political strife. Expect Another Barb Shift. What does next year hold? From present indications the align ment appears to be another shift by the ever-shifting barbs. While they placed two men in the last council-pub board election, they can't truthfully say they got what they wanted. For this reason the barbs are forseen to bolt the lib erals in an attempt to foster a strong independent organization of unaffiliated students. Only if an other Al Williams rises up on this campus can the barbs get or ganized effectively and from past history. Al Williamses are few and far between. Trouble looms ahead for the liberal faction if there is anv truth to the current reports of ! internal strife, n is understood j that one Iraternitv of the liberal group, griped because of the dire I election result, is trying to pull j UP stakes W'hat about the progressives i who are Fafely seated in office? Internal rows are reported from; them too, but the oil of campaign j promises may, in both cases, quiet the troubled water of discontent. All in all, it has been a hectic year for campus politicians and a close shave for the factions. As campaign talk both factions prom ised reform of some sort. We can j only wait until next school year i to see how much reality there is n campaign promises. Most anxi- ousiy awaited is action oi tne men's activities' system proposal, the best thin? that could happen n tne light of past 'dirty politics charges. !

(ACT). The Idea that "old dogs can't learn new tricks' was pronounced "hooey," In slightly different words, by Dr. Irving Lorge of Columbia univer sity's Institute of Education. The mind does not deteriorate with age, tho It does slow down a trifle, he informed the tenth nn tlonul convention of the American Association of University womm. It is "militant ignorance," not Inability which prevents -persons over 21 from tackling new intellec tual Interests. Laziness or refusal to compete with a younger person is the main reason for the seeming lack of ability to learn. Tho belief that middle aged minds do not absorb knowledge easily, Dr. Lorge explained, is based on a "defense mechanism" against the effort involved. "People are never too old to learn. The mind does not deterior ate with age. In general, nobody under 45 years of age should ever restrain himself from trying to learn anything because of fear that he Is too old to learn. If he falls in learning, inability duo to age will rarely, if ever, be the reason," he said. "Good psychologists have made the unfortunate mistake of think ing that, because there arG dif ferences in speed tests scores, in favor of the young, intellectual ability deteriorates with age. This is not true. As a matter of fact, a correction corresponding to the penalty that age lays on speed of reaction In speed tests was com puted and applied to the results of two principal experimentalists AIR-CONDITIONED CLASSROOMS IN LINCOLN AT 14th AND P STREETS C I'tMl thr summer ttudying for business career in cool "no! comfortable air-conditioned classrooms.
