Ami Ne braska is no exception. The spirited rallies which precede the fall election, and the usual work of the politicians in the spring balloting is enough to prove this fact, when one consid ers at-the same time the lack of knowledge of national politics that holds sway. One of the most pronounced differences between American students and European undergraduates is the much greater interest of the European students in politics and especially in social and economic problems. It is a well known fact that heretofore American students have shown comparative ly little interest in governmental affairs. Hut the horizon does not look too dark at present for this indifference is slowly matur ing into a keen analysis of national polit ical policies since the advent of the Roosevelt era. The recent rise of student political organiza tions on many campuses is the best indication of the trend toward discussion of problems of national importance. A three-day session of law making, con ducted in the same manner as the congress of the United States, in which 85 students from 19 colleges and universities in Okla Iowa State's Spring Registration Makes New Record of 4,781 AMES, April 21. Iowa State College's total registration for the spring quarter is 4,784 students, an increase of 481 over the spring of 1937, announces J. R. Sage, the registrar. This all time spring record does not include 110 music students. Enrollment by divisions: Agri culture 1,033; engineering, 1,275; home economics, 1.199; Industrial science, 555; veterinary medicine, 213. In addition there are 88 agri cultural engineers not included in either the agriculture or engineer ing categories. Cowboy-Professor Strips Romance From 'Punching' (Continued from Page 1.) hard, and was loyal to the boss and the Job. Traditions Remain. The blizzard of 1886-1887, In which cattle died by the thousands and by the hundreds of thousands foretold the end of the cattle days, Professor Dale said. Settlers al ready had poured Into the region and had driven the ranchers to the poorer lands farther west. "The riders of the cow country are gone, big their story will never die," the Oklahoma historian de clared. "For therein lies romance." It is not an accident, he explained, that Texas university's elaborate dining hall is called The Chuck Wagon, that the radio each night brings the old cowboy songs into our homes, that dude ranches and rodeos are common in the west. Frontier Heritage. "Yes, the spirit of the west re mains," the visiting historian re iterated to members of the as sociation at the annual dinner Friday night. Speaking on "Our Frontier Heritage," he said in part, "The same restless frontier spirit is evident In the mad rush with which we travel, In the edu cation which stresses utilitarian and neglects the cultural, "Our Frontier heritage consti tutes a danger and a hope the energy, faith optimism and cour age of the pioneer may still lead us on to the conquest of those new frontier that lie before us." All the romance, the thrill of adventure in history are there for the research historian who will seek them out, Prof. Pale ex plained as he spoke Saturday noon t tne concluding session of the conclave, a luncheon meeting held at the University club. "Too many teachers are so busy with ancient history that they forget the wealth of historical material close at hand " Wronged Researcher. "Ami the historian need not be the thin, atoop-shouldered rlnd who delves into old manuscripts and books Research may lead one to strange places and Into many adventures." Saturday mornlng'a program began with a breakfast forum at the University club. Later In the morning an open meeting was held In Social Science, with Dr. E. N. Johnson of the history fac ulty speaking on "The World History Course." At the concluding business ses sion Frank H.' Heck, Peru, wa named president of the association for the new year; Jennie Conrad, Kearney, vice-president; and Miss Carrie Roberts, Lincoln, held over as secretary tntered at aecund-claM matter at tht pnatotfiot o Lincoln, Nebraika, onder act ut eontrem, March II, IKTB, 1nd at pecll rata ol puitaiia provided fur In tertlon 11011. act ot October 3, 1011, aathorlud January SO.

A similar assembly, the first of its kind to be held in the south, convened recently in North Care lina, representatives from 18 colleges parti cipating. The "Little Congress-' at the University of Virginia and the "Union" at George Wash ington university are student political organ izations founded "in answer to the challenge that university students should face squarely the problems of democratic government." The idea derives from the Oxford Union which for more than a century has aroused interest in public affairs among students at the English institution. The "Little Congress" and the "Union" are based on model legislatures, composed of three parties, those of the right, the center, and the left. The two legislatures embody the essential attributes of the congress of the United States, with standing committees, which report bills, a speaker who serves as' president, minority floor leaders, and party caucauses. Delegates are seated in propor tion to the party vote as determined by gen eral balloting of the entire student body or by a vote on political issues. All of which sounds like a mighty worth while set-up, especially when it's compared to the political jamborees which have become a part of present university life. T 10 LEAVE I German Assistant to Serve As Instructor, Work For Doctorate. Erich Albrecht, assistant In structor in the Germanic language department, will leave Nebraska next year to go to Johns Hopkins university where he will serve as a German instructor and continue work toward his doctor of philos ophy degree. Mr. Albrecht came to United States in 1932 after studying for the ministry in Berlin. He spent two years as an exchange student at the Hanna divinity school at Wittenberg college, in Ohio, and from there received his Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Divinity, and his Master of Scientific Didactics degrees. During the summer of 1935, Mr. Albrecht served as assistant pastor of the First Lutheran church of Columbui, 0., and then in the fall came to Nebraska. He received his Master of Arts degree here in June, 1936. He is the author of the recent text book, "Deutschland im Urn bruch."

There is no doubt but what many students consider such an association before they choose their university or college. Fond parents back home are taken up by the institution which offers schedules that enable their sons and daughters to "really know their professors." Many smaller institutions of higher learning have "put their hooks" on a student because of this one advertising feature. There Is little doubt in our minds but what the folks back home believe that their student offspring will receive as much education by "Just being around" a professor as they will in the formality of the classroom. And their convictions, we believe, are correct in more than 50 percent of the cases. This capital city institution is not lacking in that close relation ship between professor and stu dent. It cannot be said that the University of Nebraska is all for mality. The folks back home need not think, then, that their sons and daughters are being sub jected to a lot of eccentric, per verted old foggies that step into the room, call the class to order, lecture on dubious mtaerial for an hour, dismiss the class, and walk out. This institution has more to offer in its relationships than that. When it comes to student-professorship, we would say that Nebraska ranks about at the half-way mark. There is great room here for such development. At the University of Wisconsin liberal minded professors like Alexander Meikeljohn will dis miss their classes at the end of the hour and then journey with his students to the Student Union aristocratic beer parlor. Here their discussion takes on a different meaning for, when a professor can talk off the record (that is say things that rules maintain he cannot say in his classroom) students begin to get ideas many times their first since they met the professor. Nebraska professors, speaking broadly, haven't let their hair down that far yet. And Nebraska doesn't have a society man's beer parlor in their student union. But they do have a student union with one main purpose that of ent ':..g the student to get better acquainted with themselves that their profes sors. We wonder sometimes if this greater student-professor relation ship will take place because of the student union. By no means would we open ourselves up enough to advocate a beer parlor in the stu dent union. At the present time there is only, one organization on the campus which is designed for this closer relationship. The Cir cle, as it is called, is doing splendid work in securing these necessary things. We hope, how ever, that the student union will solve the needs of the student and professor, that the atmos phere of the building will be one of "off the record at all times."

If she had to do it all over again the only thing that would keep her from becoming a comedienne would be Jokes! That's what Fanny Brice, NBC comedienne, has to say about her career and the gags that have been its foundation. "We think some of the modern jokes heard on the air are bad," Fanny says, "but the radio gag3 are masterpieces of humor com pared with some of the old ones I remember from my 32 years on the stage. What's more, I have an exceptionally good memory, so I recall them all." Jokes that used to send people rolling in the aisles would send a radio listener diving for the turn off switch, the creator of Baby Snooks vows, "Here is an example of what I mean," she says. PREACHER: "Now class, what Is a false doctrine?" JOHNNY: "I know, Bad Medi cine." "Eef that doesn't keel you," the comedienne says, in the dialect that has made her famous from coast to coast, "then here's one with a payoff that will. Leesten." COLLECTOR: "Aren't you bothered about that $5.00 you owe me?" SLOW PAYER: "Goth, no. What's the use of both of us worrying?" "See what I mean," Miss Brice adds. "So the next time you think some of the radio gags you're hearing are punk, remember the old stage jokes." You hev heet de nail on de hed, Mees Brrrice. At last Lights Out fans who have wondered what kind of dreams beset the author of this nightmare-inspiring series will learn Just what Arch Oboler does dream about when they tune in "They Died" during the Lights Out broadcast next Wednesday evening. Oboler insists he dreamed the entire plot. "I haVe heard of authors dream ing plots, then writing their story," Oboler says. "I always listened wtih a bit of skepticism, but now I know it's possible. I dreamed 'They Died' so clearly that when I awoke, I wrott the synopsis before I had breakfast. "The plot incidentally, deals with the adventures of a man who has so many narrow escapes from death that he begins to think he is imagining the escapes and that he is really going crazy. ... , Daylight saving time starts ; today.

CHIPS (Continued from Page 1.1 when selecting his walls to be painted. We call to mind the old warning of secret agents, poli ticians, et al, who, when a deli cate subject Is broached look around warningly at each other, place fingers on lips and say, "Hist! Be Careful! The very walls have ears." The painter must watch out for this. We have never actually seen a painter in earnest action but these must be his first steps: 1. Brush aside or uproot all the wallflowers. 2. Remove or plaster over ears which the wall may have devel oped. 3. Note where the plaster is apt to crack eventually. Then paint so that if a crack ap peared it might appear as just another worried wrinkle. This is Important. Look what is hap pening to Michaelangelo's mu rals.
