HAVE A NICE
YACATIOIS?
Tsk, tsk, how tempus fupit.
Here it is the clay after the day
after the end of spring vacation, if
you'd on'y stop a moment and real
ize it. Kaetly one week ago today
spring vacation wns about to be
gin and suitcases were being
.stuffed and classes cut with hasty
abandon.
Approximately 90 percent of the
students about to partake of
spring: vacation told nil their
friends and acquaintances that,
by golly, they were g'-r.ng to catch
up on their studying.
Did You Study?
You were probably one of the
99 percent with good intentions.
Well, where are you know?
Right where you were before va
cation began, except maybe a
little sleepier. (All right, all
right. So you did too study over
vacation. Just remember you're
the exception).
One of the minor mysteries of
college life is the mystery of
what happened to vacation time.
The first day of vacation is usually
.spent luxuriously in bed. You get
up at noon for breakfast, stretch
the rest of the afternoon to get
rid of that sleepy feeling and all
of a sudden it is the next day.
Tut t eiing about at one thing or
another which takes up a good
deal of time and seems necessary
at the moment hut which you
can't for the life of you remem
ber just what it was now takes up
two or three more days and va
cation Is over.
When it is over, students in
variably greet each other for the
next two or three days with a:
"What did you do over vaca
tion?" "Oh, nothing much. Got a little
studying done. What did you do?"
"Same thing."
Social Problem.
That is consistently the rou
tine patter. The rare person who
has really had a nice vacation
or been somewhere will not wait
for you to ask him or her what
he or she did over vacation. He
will cheerfully volunteer the in
formation or make you curious
by saying he wished you were
along with him on his vacation.
You ask him what he did and he

The address in the evening will

Tr. Stanley, a member of the

know of his brilliant discoveries
resulting from his years of re

As a result of Dr. Stanley's

Special Convo, Luncheon
Wednesday Noon.
Speaking on documentary films!
A. A. Mercey, assistant director of
information of the Farm Security
administiation, traced the devel
opment of a new and influential
motion picture industry, Wednes
day morning before a special con
vocation of journalism students.
Documentary films were described
by Prof. Gayle C. Walker, at the
convocation's opening, as "pictor
ial journalism."
Mercey explained the difference
between travelogues, educational
pictures and documentary films.
Introduced as the man who was
partly responsible for the produc
tion of "The River" and "The Plow
that Broke the Plains," the
speaker frequently referred to
"Frontier of Journalism."
Following the convocation, Theta
Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi,
professional journalism organiza
tions, sponsored a luncheon and
round table for the visiting F.S.A.
official, when Mi rcey led a brief
informal talk on new frontiers of
journalism.
"The best qualification for se
curing a government job in the
field of public relations," Mercey
told luncheon gu ,'sts, "is five years
with the Associated Tress. There
is no substitute for sound, prac
tical newspaper experience." He
described a day In the life of pub

listen idly and think sorrowfully
and enviously of your own list
less vacation. This sort of thing
builds up to class hatred and
may be listed as one argument
against having any vacations,
tions.
It is estimated by an eminent
bureau of estimators that three
out of ten (olli'tro stud'vts 'ill
come brick to their clns io.,ius
and pull that old chestnut that
leads as follows:
"Well, I'm glad vacation is
over. Now I can catch up on my
sleeping."
That also is one argument that
could be used against having va
cations. Hearing that old chestnut
repeated lime alter time grates
on the sensitive ear and if there
were no vacations there would be
no chestnuts to grate against
one's ears.
A last minute news flash con
veyed by one who reads this stuff
hot off the typewriter, reveals
the fact that the university li
hrarv was pretty well filled by
students during vacation. This
would seem to refute our argu
ment that very little studying was
done over vacation. However,
think of the thousands that went
home for vacation and took no
hooks with thon at all. When you
get thru thinking of those stu
dents, think of those that took
hooks home and did nothing with
them but let them lie around the
house. When you have thought
that over too, you may pretty
f-afely come to the conclusion that
the majority did not catch up on
their studying.
Why Spring Vacation?
All in all, it was probably the
average vacation. And tor some
seven or eight hundred seniors,
the last vacation of their under
graduate days. It is still rather
purzling, however, to find a
logical basis for spring vaca
tion. Just because it is spring,
is not a flood reason. It seems
as tho an Easter vacation would
be more appropriate and better
utilized than three days out of
two ordinary weeks in March
and April.
Dr. C. H. Patterson, chairman
of the committee in charge of the
All University Lenten services,
has announced the schedule of the
!eVol: rs. The services will be

This year's services represent a
slight departure from the usual

erly, speakers were brought in
from outside the university to talk.
This year, however, faculty mem
bers of the school will speak.
Each program will consist of a
10 to 12 minute talk by one of
the faculty members on a theme
appropriate to the season. Then
will follow the worship services,
with selected scripture readings
by students, and specinl music.
Dr. Workmeister's recordings of

Ferguson Hears
of Cousin's Plight
Only 10 Days Ago
Dean O. J. Ferguson, dean of
the engineering college at the
university, a cousin of Albeit M.
Troyer, who is being held in Rus
sia on a ten year prison sentence,
stated yesterday that he has been
unaware of his cousin's plight un

appeared in his office and in

prison ment.
Dean Ferguson says, that to his
knowledge the Troyeis had not
made their home in Lincoln since
their graduation from the univer
sity, and that he had not been in
touch with them for many years.
Albert Troyer moved to Ne
braska in the early 80's into the
vicinity of Dorchester. He re
ceived his bachelor of science de
gree in agriculture from the uni
versity in 1S91 and in 1893 was
awarded an A. M. degree. As a
graduate student he was made an
assistant on the agricultural col

work for his Ph. D. at the Uni

fact that Edwirds first conceived
the idea of h hw in Doctor
Wimberly's En 211 advanced

elaboration of that same idea, but
it did not evolve over night.
S,s Short Subject.
Not lonf fter Edwards handed
in nls pjiy to Doctor Wimberly,
he saw a short subject In the
movies called "The Unemployed
Ghost" which had been written by
Marc Connolly, noted LroadWH.v
producer. In it tho spirit world
was represented as experiencing
labor difficulties mucb the same
as their earthly brethren. The
idea was novel and amusing and
Edwards thought immediately of
its adaptability to his own script.
in April of 1934 on a rush date
Edwards was taken to see the
Kosmet Klub show of that spring
"The Campus Cop." He decided to
try his own lurk at submitting a

Democracy's Cornerstone May
Be Education, bill Professional
Salary Scale Fails to Show It
The cornerstone of democracy is i
education.
Yet an inquiry into the average
salaries of puhlic school teachers,
supervisors and principals who
build American democracy thru
education which was made by the
school life reveals an average sal
ary in 1P36 of $1,283 for the na
tion, $772 for Nebraska.
From the peak of $1,420 per an
num paid in 1929-30, salaries fell
to $1,227 in 19311 to pinch the
pedagogical pocketbook. Salaries
woe again ut the 1024 level. Be
tween 1H34 ind lfCK, 29 percent
of the cuts had been restored, with
the trend upward continuing.
The amounts paid in different
states varied greHtly from $504 in
Arkansas to $2,414 in New York.
Only five states paid higher av
erage salaries in 19"5 than in 1930
and in 43 states the salaries were
lower. Nebraska ranked twelfth
in the 13 states which paid more
than $200 less in 1D36 than in
1930; her reduction was S30,
Approaching the problem from
the rural-urban and Negro-whit
angle interesting facts are again
revealed.
The nation's average urban sal
ary was $1.S18, Nebraska's $1,296,
the highest was in New York,
$2,780, ihe lowest in Arkansas,
$768. The rural areas paid lower
wages, for the nation. $827, for
Nebraska, $f15; the highest was
in Conn., $1,594; the lowest was in
Arkansas, $430.
Fifteen states and the District
of Columbia reported salaries
separately for While and Negro
teachers. Delaware and Missouri
showed a higher average for Ne
groes, due to the fact that in those
states the Negroes live largely in
cities' where salaries are higher
than in rural areas. In the Dis
trict of Columbia no distinction U ,
made but in the rst the disparity
was very definite. Florida pays
white teachers, $1,130, Negro
, teachers, $493.
