Official Welcome
Chancellor C. S. Boucher served
notice on the University faculty
last night that he entertained no
desires to "force" the University of
Chicago educational program upon
Nebraska. A dinner and reception
at. the Student Union afforded
Chancellor and Mrs. Boucher their
first official opportunity to meet
the faculty.
Vln answering the un-asked ques
ons of the faculty regarding his
stand on the Chicago plan which
he aided in framing, Dr. Boucher
cited two reasons for not consid
ering its adoption.
No Mystic Formulae.
"First, no educational program
can be successfully administrated
in any institution until and unless
the group most vitally concerned
with instruction the faculty Is.
in clear majority, in sympathy
with the program as a result of
a conviction of its soundness.
"Second, there are no panaceas or
mystic formulae in education ex
cept among quacks, and merely
because one program may be ad
ministered successfully by one fac
ulty with their particular student
body, is no guaranty that the same
program is the appropriate one for
another faculty with another stu
dent body in quite a different en-
vironmcnt."
Chancellor Boucher discussed the
various modern educational pro
prams that have been put into
practice during the past ten years,
but firmly said: "I am not at this
time stating my position on any of
them for the University of Ne
bia ska."
Kxcerpts from his address are
as follows:
"If there is any trait listed as
undesirable in a chancellor, upon
which 1 can give you assurance
without embarrassment because of
undue self-consciousness, it is that
of dogmatism. The more I study
this business of education, the
more I become convinced that no
one has a right to be dogmatic in
the use of sweeping generaliza
tions about any phase of the educa
tional process.
"This conclusion does not neces
sarily, or even impliedly, lead one
to be reluctant or hesitant to make
decisions in the light of the best
available evidence and tested re
sults, ll ratner points 10 me neces
sity of taking each step only in
the light of thoro study of intelli
gent experimentation; and it shows
the necessity of continuous critical
evaluation of current practices in
the light of the ever-changing con
ditions of man in society. To be
wary of dogmatism means merely
a realization that when we make
a decision on educational policy
that seems right in the light of
current conditions and available
evidence, It Is almost certain not
to be right for all time to come.
This means that the argument that
merely because certain things have
been done in the past, or have been
done in a certain manner, they
should continue to be done, and
be done in this manner, is per se
not a valid argument.
"My wariness of dogmatism has
come from actually seeing the at
tainment of most remarkable edu
cational results that many per
sons, whose Judgment I had
learned to respect, pronounced im
possible of attainment; and what
is more, these results were at
tained by the use of a combination

Fans to Get
Protection
In Stadium
Regler Recruits Fifty
Plain Clothesmen
For Football Games
To make sure that thousands of
football conscious Nebraska fans
will once again enjoy their fa
vorite sport at Memorial stadium
this fall, Sergeant Regler, chief of
campus police, is having fifty plain
clothes men being sworn in this
week for special difty during the
football season. Working in pairs,
they will probably politely escort
some 200 drunks to the police sta
tion and apprehend a certain num
ber of the pickpockets always at
tracted by the large football
crowds.
Nebraska, believes Sergeant
Regler, is the only sizeable uni
versity to strictly enforce drinking
laws. He said many other colleges
have written to find out how
drinking at football games here is
kept at a minimum. During the
season of 1937, 218 persons were
caught drinking, only one being
a Nebraska student.
Violators of Nebraska's liquor
laws, which states that "it shall be
unlawful for any person to con
sume liquors... on property owned
by the state," are liable to a fine
of $500, costs, and 30 days in jail.
Pickpockets flock to football
games from many of the larger
cities in the middle west. They
combine business with pleasure,
"lifting" the pocketbooks of un
suspecting spectators during the
jams at the beginning, end and
half-time of a game; enjoying the
contest between time's.

Nebraska Colonel Sympathizes With German,
Italian Over-Population Predicament
Oury Sees Alaska
Ambition of Japan
When a man tites a dog, or when
a U. S. miltary man expresees
sympathy for the Germans and
Italians, it's news. Yet there wa.4
no hint of sensationalism in the
quiet and matter of fact way in
which Colonel Oury, professor of
military science at the University
of Nebraska, gave his rather sur
prising opinion of the foreif n sit
uation. Colonel Oury pointed out that
Germany lacks the size of Texas
by 70,675 square miles. At the
same time, the population of Ger
many is over ten times that of our
largest state. With this social set
up, and without colonies or raw
materials, we can sense the
thoughts of the German leaders.
"If you were a German youth,
what would your attitude prob
ably be?" he asked of the reporter.
The Italian trouble arises from
the same kind of situation. "It's
Interesting to note," said the Col
onel, "that Italy has a smaller
area than New Mexico, but has
over 40 million more people." Un
der such social pressure, he said,

1. RECOGNITION of an obligation to parents, friends,
schools, and state for the sacrifice made and encourage
ment offered which enabled me to enter the University of

tion to advance in scholarship and to cultivate those social
activities which make for good citizenship.
3. PURPOSE to enter classes and other work fully prepared

sults, not failure.
4. ORGANIZATION of time to be devoted to study, recrea
tion, activities, and rest, and the pursuit of this schedule
with due diligence.
5. LOYALTY to the administration, faculty, traditions, and
purposes of the University.

and work toward personal advancement, and safeguard the
relation I hold to the welfare of the University and its serv
ices to the state.
Barbs Plan
New Dance
Series
Union Hops to Replace
Old Varsity Parties
Barb dances formerly held in
Grant Memorial hall will be given
every weekend again this fall in
the Student Union ballroom from
7:30 to 8:45 under the joint spon
sorship of the Barb A. W. S. and
the Barb Interclub council.
The first Barb dance will be a
week from this corning Friday
night. Admission will be 10 cents
a person. If good crowds attend
during the semester the council
hopes to reduce the admission
charge to 5 cents a person as they
are not sponsoring this series of
dances from the profit motive, ac
cording to Bob Simmons, Barb
jcouncil president.
Dean Worcester reported to the
Barb council that this arrange
ment of transferring the Barb
dances to the Student Union was
in exchange for agreeing not to

Horatio Alger
Has Nothing
On Uni Student
If you happen to be one of those
few students who never have to
worry about money, paying the
room rent, eating the next meal,
or borrowing fifty cents for your
weekend date you won't be inter
ested in this story, but if you are
like the rest of us, who are con
tinually running over budgets, you
might like to know how Wayne
Cyphers, of Elm Creek, manages
to keep the wolf away from his
door.
Like a hero of a Horatio Alger
novel, Cyphers came to Lincoln,
got a car washing concession, and
hired other students to do the work
for him. Today, two weeks after
his arrival, he owns a business and
employs nine students to run it
while he goes to school. Five of the
students act as salesmen getting
the Jobs while the other four stu
dents do the work.
Cyphers declared that the way
business Is going it will be only a
few weeks until he will be able to
hire nine or ten more students to
help him run the first student
owned and operated business cn
terprise ever started in the history
of the university.
Trouble Arises Between
'Hove Nots' and 'Haves'
Italians. "Italians are at least mor
ally clean," he said.
Emphasizing that he was not
"pro-German" and stating that he
could see no possibility whatever
of tne United States entering wars
abroad, he said it was a case of
the "have-nots," Japan, Germany
and Italy, against the "haves,
England and France. The latter
have almost all the colonies, and
an abundance of raw materials.
The colonel thinks that the English
really have too much land, and
that a lot of it is going to waste.
They are industrialists, who can
become established only in settled
parts. Agriculturists, like Germans
and Italians, should be allowed to
open up the land.
Asked if our country was not
well protected against possible in
vasion, Colonel Oury stated that
we could be easily penetrated on
the Atlantic coast and thru south
em California. Alaska could easily
be taken, and the Colonel thinks
that this piece of land is the apple
of Japan's eye, for it has all the
resources which she needs. A look
at the map of the world shows
how easily Alaska could be reached
from the Orient by an efficient
navy, t
