Itut Teacher,
ll Isn't Our Fault
Two things in the Thuiailny is
sue of the Dnily Nebraskan com
bined admirably to give the cause
for this small and probably futile
article. The first was the editorial,
asking for more contributions to
the "Student Pulse" column. The
second was headlined, "Patterson
Scores Sale of University Identifi
cation Cards, Stadium Seating Dif
ficulty Due to Student Folly. Says
Educator." For a member of the
faculty to put such stress on the
idea that it is entirely the fault of
the student body that the student
section of the stadium was over
subscribed seems quite a little like
calling the kettle black.
Of course, the actual figures are
not available to us mere students,
but if I remember correctly, there
were about 5,500 student tickets
and about 1.000 faculty tickets
purchased. The ratio of students to
faculty members is certainly more
than 5' i to 1. If the average class
room were 22 students to 1 fac
ulty (this seems to be a not unfair
proportion), the teachers bought
about four times as many tickets
per capita as the students did. Per
haps the reform should start with
those who are supposed to be ex
amples for the students.

Mechanical Engineers to be pres

Famed Bridge Builder.
The convocation speaker is best
known for his work in the field
of bridge construction. Many of
the notable bridges and viaducts
located in all parts of the world
are the products of his skill. Be
cause of his service to the Japa
nese government as bridge engi
neer, Dr. Waddell was decorated
bv the emperor of Japan as knight
commander of the Order of the
Rising Sun and by Grand Duchess
Olga of Russia, sister of the czar,
to the first class order ol me so-
ciete de Bienfaisance for services
as the principal engineer of the
Trans-Alaskan Siberian railroad
engineered in 1907. The Chinese
government conferred further
honor on the American engineer
and in 1923 the king of Italy made
Mm a member of the Order of the
Cavaliere of the Crown of Italy.
Dr. Waddell in his earlier years
was connected with the faculties
of several universities, among
them the Rensscaler Polytechnic
Institute and the Imperial Univer
sity of Japan. He has also been

where he is now a partner of the
engineering firm, Waddell and
Hardesty.
Nickel Steel Research
Dr. Waddi ll is known to many
people in this section of the coun
try as the builder of the Sioux
City-Missouri river bridge and as
chief engineer for the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal company,
where he designed the double
track railroad and highway bridge
across the Missouri in li93 and
several other bridges over the
river at Jefferson City and St.
Charles, Mo. He is also interna
tionally known for his extensive
researches in the use of nickel
steel for bridge construction, and
as a result of this study, three
large bridges, the Manhattan
bridge in New York City, the
Free bridge at St. Louis, and the
Quebec bridge were constructed of
metal suggested by Dr. Waddell.
The University speaker is well
known for several books in his
chosen field and is a member of
practically every honorary and
professional engineering society in
the country. Though 83 years of
age, Dr. Waddell is unusually en
ergetic and is still actively en
gaged in the business of his firm.
When he was here in 1911, he do
nated the university $1,000 to
help needy engineering students
acquire an education. Since then
this principal has increased thru
interest accumulation to about
$2,000.

Other favorite pastimes are

No Doq For Him
Getting about the campus pre
sents lew problems to Kwald. He
is usually accompanied from class
to class by Drval or other friends,
but his sound sense of direction
and his ability to estimate dis
tance and the number of steps
from one place to another enable
him to be almost totally inde
pendent of Drvals help. He doesn't
mind crossing streets, but prefers
intersections with traffic lights so
that he can hear the direction of
the stream of cars, and know
when it is time to cross.
Reporters recently asked Drval
if his blind roomate would feel
like a Seeing Eye di g. They were
barking up the wrong tree they
found out. Explained Drval simp
lv: "Ewald gets along by him
self." SUMMER CONFEREES MEET

Reports from those attending

church. Later in the eveni.ig Dr.
C. H. Walcott will deliver the first

character lead in a show, "Miss
Porsh" had to make a superquick
change from evening gown to rid
ing habit. Following the age-old
stage custom for such situations,
she was given a dresser. Modest
Portia steeled herself for these
revelations with the conscience
salve that her helper was a boy
who, like so many of us unfortun
ates, was very dim-sighted sans
eye-pieces. "Thank heaven," she
fluttered to friends afterwards,
"he couldn't see a thing."
After much traveling this re
mark reached the lad in question.
For reply he muttered into his
beard thoughtfully, "That's what
she thinks..'
