force them to improve their condi
tions." Plans were laid by interested
barbs or an employment agency
with headquarters also in room
307 of the Student Union. This is
an outgrowth from dissatisfaction
with the present set-up.
Prof. E. W. Lantz, of Teachers
college, touched off the fireworks
with speech emphasizing the idea
that there is no fight between the
barbs and Greeks. He stated,
"You barbs have every opportu
nity to organize. The Greeks aren't
holding you down. You are holding
yourselves down. But remember,
you aren't organizing to fight the
Greeks, you are building up for
your own place in the sun. Your
duty lies in providing service In
terests, a social program for the
barbs, and an athletic program."
Interest surged highest as the
barbs laid plans for a ward sys
tem. This type of organization has
been found most successful at
other universities and met ap
proval among the unaffiliated stu
dents. The city is to be divided
into wards, each ward to have a
president and other assisting offi
cers. These district officers can
keep in close touch with every
barb student, likewise they are
directly responsible to the central
organization, the interclub coun
cil. Those appointed to draw up
the final details of the plan under
the leadership of Essam are Bob
Simmons, Harding Velgel, Erie
Constable, Francis Woodward, and
Martin Siemsen, executive officers
of the Barb Interclub Council, and
Art Hendrlckson. Bob Whelan,
John Stelnhaus, Don Seidel, Ells

the final plans.

During the course of the meet

of the Innocents society, told the

with the proper organization. Erie

Miss Ostlund
Frosh Women Attend
Initial Vesper Service
First Y. W. C. A. vesper service
of the year was held yesterday at
5 o'clock in Ellen Smith hall, with
a large attendance of freshman
and upperclass girls.
Miss Esther Ostlund, new sec
retary of the Y. W. C. A. spoke
to the freshmen girls. The prin
cipal point of her talk was the
great freedom and independence
offered to every freshman.
"You have found a new freedom
In college What are you going to
do with that freedom? asked Miss
Ostlund. She continued by saying
that girls new to university are
starting in a new phase of life.
They are free from prejudice, in
tolerance, and pre-concelved ideas.
"Now is the time to think of
what you are going to do with
that freedom," she stated.
Miss Ostlund held the group's
attention for twenty short minutes,
her pleasing personality and help
ful suggestions to freshmen In
spired every girl.
Mary Ellen Osborne was in
charge of the worship, which pre
ceded Ostlund's talk.
COLE CONVO
(Continued from Page 1)
plained that work In studying race
in Nebraska is most important,
praising work done in the univer
sity's department as "careful,
thoughtful, and milch better than
hasty jumping at conclusions."
"There is increasing evidence
that Nebraska regions, nnd re
gions to the west, can tell us a
great deal of early man on the
North American continent," he
stated.
Ideal Location.
Then continuing: "Nebraska lies
pertferal to the Missouri, and the
affect of their cultures on the
plain groups tell us the effects of
contacts of one group on an
other." Man of 'respectable antiqutiy'
was the earliest Nebraskan, ac
cording to Dr. Cole, who indicated
that Easter Indians did not move
westward until early historic
times.
Dr. Cole is primarily interested
In the American Indian, saying
"You see the anthropologist is in
terested in man as an anmial
and what happens to this animal
that has developed a culture."
The greatest change in the plain
Indian's culture came with the ad
vent of the horse. In the doctor's
belief, the horse came as a more
important revelation for the In
dian, than the automobile has been
to the white man.
Because there was no effective
means with which the Indian in
Nebraska could exploit the exten
sive herds of buffalos here, most
of them were farmers.
Horse Revision.
When the horse was introduced,
they found buffaloes as a more se
cure, and easily obtainable source
of food. This caused many to be
come hunters, thus adapting their
cultures to changes introduced by
another culture. . .that of early
Spaniards and French.
The horse was, however, most
important in communication, since
previous to its introduction in the
early 19th century, plain region
communication was limited to foot
travel, and such as was afforded
by small streams, navigible with
canoes.
The Omaha Indians, however,
became only partly adapted, re
taining farming as a vocation for
at least part of the year, and hunt
ing the rest of the time.
Another radical change was
brought to the American Indian
life in Nebraska by the steady in
flux, later in 'history, of whites In
to western territory, and subse
quent tilling of the Indians' lands,
and deletion of his buffalo herds.
Earlier, eastern Indians had
slowly diffused traded goods thru
the plains civilizations, but direct
contact with the white man did
not begin until about 1830.

"Problems Confronted by the

addresses the university engineer
ing groups in mechanical engineer

According to professors in the

Publishers Accept Book
On Helen H. Jackson
Readers of Helen Hunt Jack
son'3 "Ramona" will be enlight
ened for the first time about the
author's life next year when the
biography written by Dr. Ruth
Odell, instructor in the English de
partment will be published. Notice
of acceptance of the book which
Miss Odell has just finished came
recently from an eastern publish
ing company. .
Although Mrs. Jackson Is rec
ognized as one of the best known
and liked writers of her era, very
little has yet been known of her
personal biography because of her
aversion to publicity while she was
still living.
"Ramona," Mrs. Jackson's best
known book, published in 1884,

pictures and two years ago was

author's classics, "A Century of

championing the right of the In

justice, and it grows in fame and
recognition as time passes. Both
novels sell widely, especially in the
southwest.
Dr. Odell gave a number of
years to the study of Helen Hunt
Jackson's life, using old letters,
newspaper accounts, the testimony
of contemporaries, and the co-operation
of surviving relatives as a
basis for her work. She explored
the regions in which the author
lived, New England, the Colorado
Springs region where she is burled,
nnd the "Ramona" country in
Southern California.
The publishers promptly ac
cepted Dr. Odell's book when she
first sent her manuscript, terming
it "scholarly, valuable, and Inter

Before Friday evening, members
of Tassels and Corncobs will visit
