BULLETIN
An Adviser's
Oversight
Sometime lust semester the Daily Nelirns
kan carried a condemnation of the present ad
viser setup under which, it is generally felt,
the student fails to receive adequate attention,
and consequently often ends up taking the
wrong courses and lacking sufficient hours to
graduate at the close of four years in univer
sity. That the publication was- justified in
criticizing the present advisory organization
was brought to light even more vividly, today,
when it was found that a person who was as
sisting in one of the departments of the school
and acting as an adviser had been so negligent
about noting his own requirements that he
lacked two hours for graduation. If he wasn't
sufficiently informed concerning his own re
quirements for graduation, he certainly would
not he a suitable adviser to direct other stu
dents in filling out their schedules to meet the
necessary requisites of the college.
' The university enrolls approximately
2,000 freshmen each year and as a form of
; welcome the new students are treated to a
- concentrated dose of convocations and get
". togethers, yet they receive no systematized
acclimatization to their new lives, To hold
individual conferences with each one of these
new students, to explain to each the advan
tages and shortcomings of college, fraterni
ties, extra-curricular activities, and fields of
concentration is a tremendous job, yet this
is what is theoretically supposed to happen,
To take care of this duty, the university has
established the adviser system which, altho
it affords individual conferences for stu
dents, is rather ineffective, because advisers
are not always well trained and still more
often are completely ignorant of the back
ground and possibilities of the student.
The University of Colorado, feeling the
prave need of making a more personal con
tact with the students and realizing the need
of orienting the freshmen received each fall,
established a few years ago a new system of
freshman counseling for the arts and science
school. Directed by a chief counselor, a com
mittee of about 30 counselors was chosen from
mong the men and women of the faculty who
were especially interested in the student as an
individual. Each counselor has a group of
Bbout 2,r students for whom he is responsible
during the entire freshman year. As far as
possible, groups are organized of students with
similar interests, such as those planning a
course in journalism, home economics, physical
education, or those wanting a lire-law course,
or a pre-niedie, or a pro-business administra
tion course, and a counselor interested in that
particular field is in charge.
The setup appears similar to that em
ployed at Nebraska at the present time, but
it is superior to Nebraska's system in that
each adviser is only required to aid 25 fresh
man students, and he has at hand when he
talks to them, information on entrance tests,
on the student's home background, and on
the student's high school background. If
about 75 efficient faculty members could be
assigned to the task of advising freshmen
alone and then, only a group of about 25
each, a great deal of later school difficulties
could be avoided, If advice had been given
with due consideration and thought in a stu
dent's freshman year he would not require
as much aid in his remaining years in college.
Thus, other faculty members could be ap
pointed to advise sophomore, junior and sen
ior students, and due to less difficulties in
volved could aid more than 25 students each.
Other universities thruout the country
have attempted to meet this orientation diffi
ciiluty with a series of entrance tests. When
each freshman enrolls in the university, he is
subjected to a series of tests, which, according
1o psychologists, offer an insight into the char
acter and intelligence of the studueiit. They
utilize the Sanford revision of the Heanay in
telligence quotient lest, the Kernreuter person
ality test, the Strong vocational test, and the
Sanford achievement test. This series of ex
aminations will give the departments of dean
of men and dean of women some idea of 1he
individuals with which they are dealing. The
information accorded by these tests is open to
debate in the psychological world. The facts
which may be derived from them are open to
question. Hut colleges which have used them
have found them to be reliable, tho not in
fallible, in dealing with the adjustment prob
lems of freshmen.
At any rate it would seeni advisable for the
university to form an advisory setup in which
the advisers were not only efficient, but also
aware of the students' possibilities and back
ground. We rtould also suggest a smaller
number of studenis for each adviser, especially
the advisers delegated to aid freshmen.

of the Columbia Broadcasting
System's adult education board,
embodying a new concept of
learning trough the medium of
radio, have reached fruition in
three separte series of unique
character and scope, "Americans
at work," "Adventures In Sci
ence," and "Living History," the
first of which Is to be launched
over the nationwide Columbia
network Thursday, April 28.
"Americans at Work," designed
to give the radio audience a com
prehensive and engrossing picture
of the nation in all fields of en
deavor, will be given each Thurs
day evening at 10:30, EDST, or
8:30, CST. The first dramatiza
tion will depi tcthe lives of the

who dig our tunnels.
"Living History," and "Adven
tures in Science," will be given
in quarter hour periods shortly
thereafter. Each of these will have
a commenator distinguished in his
field to give authoritative Inter
pretations. Prof. Allan Nevins of
Columbia university is to be the
guest commentator of the opening
"Living History" mroadcast, in
which the subjects treated will be
the expulsion of the Moors from
Spain and Columbus' discovery of
America, both of which occurred
in 14H2.
"Adventures in Science" will
have as permanent commentator

Rockefeller foundation, one of the
country's foremost sociologists.
Among the subjects In "Amer
icans at Work" which will 'be
presented are railroad engineer,
beauty specialist, department
store executive, automobile
worker, artist, compositor,
bricklayer, food business exec
utive, tool maker, milkman,
steel worker, and restaurant
waiter.
Included among the series of
"Living History" programs are
Shakespeare's retirement and the
founding of Jamestown, Va.; es
tablishment of Dutch colonies In
America, first tobacco ever grown
in Virginia, founding of Rhode Is
land, Shay's rebellion, story of the
Erie canal and many other impor

hear discussions concerning the
governing land, crops without soil,
men vs. Inserts, morphine without
immortality, sleep, the atom and
you, the farmer takes a robot, new
plants for old, the longer we live,
and a new dress every day.
The above proposition has the
air of being a distinct advance
ment In the field of liberal
American education. There
should be a great Interest shown
for these programs from the
start. The mere fact that the
Columbia system mentioned no
advertising propositions at being

Dobson ets Laughs.
Adna Dobson injects laughter
into the action with his W. C.

O'Hara Appletree. Art Ball is so
good as Persephone that one wish

Particularly funny Is .'lis scene
with Dobson.
Phil Weaver makes a forceful

and Lewis Anderson is god as

Don Kellogg puts well-aimed en
thusiasm into his role but needs to
watch his ennunciation in his solo
song because the words were
mostly lost to the audience last
night.
Bob Ronne as Junior Smithers.
Dale Higgins as Nicodemus, and
Earl Hedlund as Old Scratch all
perform creditably. A singing
trio, April, May, and June, Is both
tuneful and amusing as offered by
Wade Raser, Dale Ganz, and Fred
Webster.
Bad Men Please.
A very snappy opening for the
show proper Is provided with the
Ten Bad Men of Hell number, but
the first act ends unexpectedly
with an almost perceptible gasp.
The end of the last act also seems
forced and leaves the audience not
quite sure whether to applaud,
reach for their hats, or just sit.
Some sort of finale numbers seem
needed.
As usual, the pony chorus
danced in unison hardly at all, but
also as usual the audience didn't
seem to mind. The devil costumes
are a refreshing departure from
the usual pony garbs.
Hum-able Tune.
Al Boylen has designed a very
attractive act for the palace of
Satan. As mentioned before, all of
the show's music is very hum-able
and the composers, Bob Edelsteln,
Jane Goetz, and Gordon Dewey de
serve commendation.
Finally, congratulations should
go to Joe Iverson for ably direct
ing an all-male cast (Herculean
MUSICAL
FOOTNOTE
GY GENE GARRETT.
L1STKN TO THE
G Kit MAN BAM)
Nearly every city, village, or
town possesses, or has possessed
at one time or another, one of
those ubiquitous and semi-musical
organizations known as a Ger
man band. Nobody seems to know
just why they should be called
German bands rather than Aus
trian bands or some other nation
ality, but German they are and
have been for many decades.
Unfortunately, they, with their
type of music, are on the way out
of today's musical picture, since
the radio, the movies, and the
schools have undertaken to "edu
cate" the people to the benefits
of conceit music. No longer do
we see the eight or ten musicians
who usually make up such a
group playing on the street cor
ners, unless as a publicity stunt
for some coming attraction.
A description of the manner In
which these old-timers played
could be best made by putting
the instructions of a novelty num
ber, which requiring an imitation
of a German band, said, "Play
slowly, wheezily, and happily."
That Is the most concise descrip
tion which we have heard yet.
Their music was monotonous in a
sense, for the heat was always
as regular as a metronome, and it
was nearly Impossible to tell one
tune from another.
There was, and still Is, about
their music a "catchy" quality,
which la very appealing at times
to those of us who have not been
badly bitten by the jam bug. Per
haps it was because of their sim
ple instrumentation, for it was the
essence of simplicity. Most prob
ably, however, it was because of
the music they played.
An old waltz song, such as
feat!), and to Kosmet Klub for
offering show-goers an entertain
ment trlat is well worth their
patronage.

"Grad Wie In Deutchland," has a
quality all its own, which is not
approached by the music of any
other 'nation. Though classified an
a waltz, therels as much differ
ence between It and the waltzes
of Wayne King or Jan Garber as
between their music and that of
the "hotshot boys."
From this you have probably
gathered the Idea that we like the
music of the little German band.
The Idea Is true, In the same sense
that the statement that we like
all kinds of music is true. In other
words, we believe that this organ
ization has its place among the
muic makers of the world, and s
fully entitled to that place.
We have said this before, and
say it again: Everyone at some
time or other expresses a liking
for ,one kind of music, over an
other; yet such is the nature of
music that, if one were to be con
fined in listening to the one type
of music he likes best, it would
be only a short time before that
type would repose at the bottom
of the list. We must have variety
in our music, even more than in
our food, if we are to keep it
from becoming tasteless and unin
teresting. That is the reason why, after
an evening of listening to a gang
of wild maniacs punish their in
bass viol bow for two or three
hours, we still enjoy listening to
the music of the little German
band. There have been some good
ones which have appeared on the
networks In recent months - out
fits which really play the good old
music as it was played back at.
the turn of the century. Excuse u.
please; there's one now.
