WWII, INo. 21 LINCOLN, NEUKASKA, ILLSDW, OCTOHLK 19, 1937 lMULK FIVE CENTS ENLARGED Civilization for Dull IJainy Afternoons. The problem of how to puss the time of a coKI, ilrippy day found countless solutions yesterday. It Is on such occasions that one's great est ingenuities arc called upon, for the actual and psychological han dicap of the inclement weather dampens ardor for most nice-day fun. It's as if there was a carry over from the drearness of the grey day-the best plans seem fun-less and funlcss. Don't give mc that "Grand for ths wheat!" gaff. Lay off, please, all Pollyanna gayety on "Life taver for the trees!" or "Tonic for tired lawns!" or "Brings on the loveliest algae In stagnant pools left after the rain!" or any other botanical songs of praise for prolonged downpours. We re fuse to be consoled about steely eyed, businesslike precipitation. Rain In the Race. One needs something special to pull one out of the slough of des pair created by weeping skies. None of the ordinary spiritbracers will do. When one's feet arc soaked, one's hose mud splattered, one's hair rendered curl-less, and one's very marrow chilled blue, a sturdy solace is required. Bui to us shivering, sodden few, the only consolation mighty enough is a book. Communing with the Immortals and their Im morality can hrighten anything short of a swim-less flood. Spright ly tomes ran overcome even cold feet and crackers in bed. Such a glorious piece of literature Is George A. Porsoy's "Man's Own Show: Civilization." Gcttin' Culture. This thousand paged work is far too merrv and informed to be resigned to the shelf of a begin ning anthropology course. The au thor of "Why We Behave Like Human Beings" chuckles merrily thru a complete evolution of eul turc and the chilization of the animal man. The material is han dled so shrewdly, yet so engag ingly that even rainy afternoon readcra won't leave it to be called tip. The cha.or heads are works of art in themselves the gen tle art of twitting the human race about its very humanity. And the sub heads are no less artistic. In opus one, "The Signi ficance of Being Born Human," we consider, for example, that Man is a Rational Animal; Easily Excited," and "The Up per Gait Freed The Larnyx." No less apt are the sections of rhapter three, "In The Beginning Was Ijove;" "Courtship Under the Trees." and "The Storv of the 'Stork'." Chapter four is equally charmingly divided. "In The Be ginning Were Joy And Art For Lifcs Sake contains such as "The Aesthetic Sense; or. 'Damn It. I Like to be Liked'," and "Kthics For Men Only." Religion And Science. In a bit of profanity, that's all right because a punk column 1st didn't compose same, the ninth chapter describes "Chris tianlty Enthroned." Two signifi cant sub topics are: "I Believe In... The Virgin Mary; And The Double Standard," and "'Has God Forgotten All That I Have Done For Him?'" Science, too, is discussed. In "Knowledge of Organic Nature; or. The Growth of the Biologic Sciences," one may learn "How The Mysteries of Life Became the Facts of Biolooy. and "Antiseptics, or the Discovery that Godliness is Cleanliness." A broad side cf Ihe aims of the tok. cutting the cute stuff. Is in the preface: "Man had to take lo culture or perish: No man made additions to man's natural en dowment, no human race. Culture was a biologic neressity. As cul ture helped man to supply his physiologic needs, it had survival vaiue In the struggle for exis-tenre-and still has. As culture was man's answer to the will to live, civilization is his answer lo the will to power, to live more, bigger, faster, longer, for ever; in durance for life and immortal Klory in death; to live lik a magi cian, like a king, like a dc.non, like a god."

Ferguson of the en gineering college announced Mon day that the examining committee of the Engineer's Council for Pro fessional Development has offi cially recognized and accredited the following engineering curricula at the university: Agricultural, architectural, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. By Oct. 1 the committee had received f42 curricula from 134 degree grant ing engineering institutions over the country, and of this number 127 schools were visited by the ex aminers. Only 20 degree, granting schools have to date failed to sub mit the curricula of their engineer ing colleges. This favorable report received from Jic national organization is indicative of the high rating of the engineering college here at Ne braska, in, that every school, to be fully accredited, must meet the re quirements set up by the various engineering socicticcs which make up the council. Chemistry Division Commended. "While the chemistry depart ment was highly commended, our chemical engineering curriculum was not accredited," the dean said. "However, we had not expected to receive the full recognition in this group of studies, because wc have been unable to afford any chemical engineering laboratory facilities. The advice of the committee will be of great assistance to us in our development of this particular en gineering unit." The dean also called attention to '(Continued on Page 2.1 y; 51 A ' 1 r W U- ' ' .v. .

In his discussion Dr. Guilford ex plained the mathematical theory underlying the method, and pointed out that a number of primary abil ities and traits have already been discovered by this method. The new theory gives mental testing a scientific basis, and with a firm basis. Dr. Guilford says, voca tional selection can now be begun in the educational program. Among the abilities that by the Vector method can be determined arc the abilities to visualize, to speak fluently, to be mathematical, to remember of great deal, and to reason cither inductively or de ductively. Among the personality traits that may be determined are social shyness, the cyroid factor itempcrmental or moody factor), inferiority, hypersenstiveness, and nervousness.
