BIOGRAPHY OF A
PSYCHOLOGIST SON
j? For years I have been wanting
' '," to make known to the world the
? life I have led, the living inferno
i that I, Mortimer Gosden, have
been going through as a son of one
of the world's greatest expcrlmcn
, tal psychologists.
From the time that I first en
1 tercd the world with a doctor's
1 i slap, I have been dropped, clec
i trocuted, hit, starved, and stuffed
$ all in the name of science.
One of the first things my father
'; experimented with was my re
' flexes. He gave me a bottle of
warm milk, complete with soft
nipple and I quickly learned how
to operate the nipple with a suck
ing motion of the lips. His next
move was to let me get good and
hungry and then give me a bottle
of warm milk with a big slit in
the rubber top instead of just a
. pin point. I tilted the bottle up and
Tgot the milk right in my race. I
like to have choked. The next time
he cave me the bottle of milk I
"i threw it in his face,
i No Chimpanzee,
5 I found out in my youth that
It had been my father's burning
J ambition to raise me in the com-
1 pany of a chimpanzee for com-
I parison of characteristics but
my mother put her foot down on
that idea. She was president of
the local order of the Society for
' the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals and persuaded father
that one experimentee In the
' house was enough.
" 1 He used to hold out something
promising in his hand to get me to
walk at an early age. I would take
, one or two steps and fall flat on
my face. He would place me up
- right again and coax me into do
ing the same thing. This got rather
monotonous until I learned how to
v , crawl, which wasn't what my lov
ing poppa wanted at all. Another
innovation of his which I have
never forgiven was khaki diapers.
'He wanted to see if being uncom-
; fortable would keep me awake,
i ', make me cry, or put me to sleep.
Most babies can sleep during
' the day and have a lot of fun
f ! at nigbt what with bawling and
y getting their poppas to walk up
i and down carrying them In their
l arms, i nat never woricea Tor

Tier xne oacy next ooor pui mi
wise to It, my father got up say
ing, "This is Just the chance
I've been waiting for." He then
took me by the hand and walked
me up and down the kitchen
floor which he had covered with
cracker crumbs and felt like
tacks to my bare feet.
He used to come to me with a
pin. Then with much loud laugh
ing and smilin, vc would stick
1 yne with the pin. The smiling and
laughing on his part was supposed
to give me the idea that pin-sticking
was all a huge joke and even
a pleasurable pastime. I kicked
his glasses off the first time and
yelled bloody murder the rest of
the times.
When I grew old enough to play
in one of those jumpers, which has
a canvas seat attached to a
spring and the spring attached to
the ceiling of a porch, my father
cleverly sawed half the spring.
Then just as I had got to bouncing
good, the spring busted and I went
down in a heap while my father
recorded my reactions in a note
book. I had so many reactions it
kept him busy for half an hour.
I guess I had a narrow escape
In my cribhood. My mother told
me just the other day that she
had a hard time talking my father
out of the desire to push me out
'Ho see if it was really true that a
blow on the head would make me
mentally deficient in later years.

six months and frequently he

Corn Cobs Adopt
Non-Fraternity
Reorganization
Pep Club Votes Unanimously
For New Plan, Modeled
On Kosmet Set-Up.
Final vote on the reorganization
hill at the Corn Cob meeting last
night found the men's pep club
unanimously in favor of adopting
the new setup patterned after the
Kosmet Klub, which puts mem
bership in the club on a merit
basis.
According to the accepted plan,
the Corn Cobs will be made up
hereafter of four senior officers,
16 active junior members, and
sophomore workers whose efforts
thruout their sophomore year will
be recorded and serve as their bid
for membership in the active club.
Each spring four active members
will be elected to positions for the
next year while the other 12 jun
iors become inactive to make way
for the 16 new workers who are
accepted by the active chapter.
Set Spring Party Date.
Heretofore, sophomore Corn
Cobs have been on a pledge basis,
and this year no record was kept
of their individual work. This year
both pledges and active members
will vote the four seniors who will
hold office next year and also for
the 16 pledgee who will be ac
cepted into membership. The new
officers will be in charge of the
initiation for new members.
May 21 was the date set for the
annual Corn Cob spring party and
dinner dance. Plans were left to
the party committee for arrange1
ment.

Houses on Acceptance
Of Purchase Plan.
Letters will be sent to all house
managers of sorority and frater

asking them to consider a co-operative
buying system which is
being looked into by a committee
of the student council.
The purpose of a co-operative
buying system would be to lower
the price of food which the houses
on the campus must purchase. The
system has been tried and found
to work satisfactory at Stanford,
Oregon State and Ohio. At Ohio
it was found that such a system
lessened the cost 16 percent on
$90,000 worth of provisions.
Al Schroeder, chairman of the
committee that is proposing the
co-operative buying, asks that all
houses discuss the matter and re
ply giving any suggestions or ob
jections that they have to the pro
posal. Working on the committee with
Mr. Schroeder are Helen Johnson,

' Because of religious holidays

morrow, Colonel Oury has issued
orders postponing Friday's sched
uled parade until Tuesday, April
18th.
With the official government in
spection due May 16, Colonel Oury
expressed the opinion that there
should be several parades similar
to the one to be staged next Tues
day before inspection. He stated
that he would cram as many as
possible into the month's time in
tervening. Next Tuesday's inspection will
be held at 5:00 p. m., with com
panies forming on the mall facing
Nebraska hall and proceeding
from there to the mall in front of
the coliseum. Ths entire affair is
not expected to last more than
three-quarters of an hour, accord
ing to Colonel Oury.
Concerning excuses from par
ticipating in the parade. Colonel
Oury stated that the military de
partment has "never permitted any
man to go from an assigned duty
to take part in military science.
If a man has a class during the
inspection parades, he attends that
class, and not the parade." The
colonel made this same statement
concerning a student's working

Of Evaluating Various
Men's Activities.
Technicalities of the proposed
men's activity point system re
ceived an airing when the student
council held its open meeting in
University hall yesterday after
noon. Only one dissention to the
entire plan was recorded. Eight
students who were not members of
the council appeared at the forum.
The entire meeting resolved into
a discussion about the inequalities
of the number of points proposed
for different campus extra cur
riculars. It was the general belief
of those present that "not enough
points were being given for work
in certain organizations."
Basis of Points Questioned.
The basis on which the number
of points would be ascertained was
questioned most thoroly. Three
opinions were presented:
1. Should number of points
be based on time spent In the
activity?
2. Should number of points be
based on prestige of the partic
ular organization?
3. Or should number of points
be based upon the prominence
that the particular organization
