There was no pretentious ceremony in the

jressed the university's gratification to Don

An occasion of this nature is more than

Uni Custodians
To Start Wearing
New Green Garb
Don't be surprised if, within the
next few weeks, you are startled
to see a new group of uniformed
men strutting around the ram pus.
It isn't the nazis. it isn't the fas
cists, it isn't the communists, it is
merely the 32 regular janitors of
the university showing off their
new uniforms.
The new uniforms are of a light
gabardine material, gray-green in
color, consisting of pants and shirt.
Upon one pocket will be inscribed
U.N., while upon the other the
first name of the wearcrr will be
written. Henry Worst er, head cus
todian of the university, uponsnred
the idea and it was accepted by
the custodians, who chose the uni
forms themselves.
This will he the first time in the
history of the university that the
custodian have worn uniforms,
and according to Mr. Bolus, ciwto
iluin of the Union, it is a very
practical and excellent Idea.

Cobs to Discuss Rally
At Meeting Tonight
Corn Cobs will meet this
evening in room 313 of the
Union at 7:30 o'clock for a
regular business meeting.
Main topics for discussion will
be the club's part in Friday
night's rally and pre-game ac
tivities. Mexico U Takes
Earliest Honors
Southern Institution
Was First in America
AUSTIN, Tex. (ACP). Contrary
to popular belief the first univer
sity in America was not Harvard.
Nor was Baylor U the first insti
tution of higher learning west of
the Mississippi.
For exactly 85 years before John
Harvard endowed his dream school
in Cambridge in 1638, some of the
more ambitious Spanish explorers
and educators founded the Univer
sity of Mexico. This little school
opened its doors in 1553.
At this time wnicn was very
few years after Hemando Cortes
crushed the tottering Altec em
pire, a flourishing civilization ex
isted in Mexico. Scholars and writ
ers had begun to come over from
the old world, and the first text
book in philosophy to be written
in America was used in the new
university.
This was titled "Recognito Sum
mularum." Fray Aldnso de las
Veracruz was the author. Vera
cruz also wrote two other text
books for use in the school. They
were "Dcilectla Rcsolutlo cum tex
tu Aristotelian," logic with an Ar
Istotellan text, and "Physica Spec
ulntio." an explanation of New
ton's law of gravlation. The first
two appeared In 1554 and the lat
ter In 1557. All were printed, one
page at a time, on a crude block
printing press which was the most
modern in all Mexico at that time.
Another of the books used was
a I-Atln grammer by Francisco
Cervantes de Salazar, the first
rhetoric teacher In North America.
Us title was "Comment eria in Lud
ovicl Vlves Kxercltatlclones Lin
gua Latinac." Also appearing in
1554 this book is Interesting for
the hints it gives concerning the
teachers, their characters, and
grading systems.
Strangely enough, tho each of
these is nearly four centuries old,
a copy of each has tven pi ( served
and exists today In the University
of Texas library here.

College Training for Rural
Teacherslmpossible,Henzlik
Economic Conditions
Bar High Requirements
Altho it would be very desirable
to require two years of college
training for all rural and ele
mentary school teachers in Ne
braska, this is hardly possible be
cause of economic conditions in the
state, according to Dean F. E.
Kenzlik of the teachers college.
The present laws of the state
permit teachers to practice with
only a high school education plus a
special examination. Similar laws
are in effect in Iowa, where a
movement has been started to re
quire two years of college training
for all teachers.
Commenting on this recom
mendation, Dean Hcnzlik said,
"Under the present economic con
ditions here with more than 6,000
one room schools and the teachers
earning only $25 to $40 a month
it is futile to expect enough teach

Speaker for the affair will be
Mrs. Maud Nuquist, who will tell
of "State Institution Administra

Mrs. Nuquist is a member of the
Nebraska board of control of state

ers for rural schools if you require
two years of college training."
bpeaKing of another phase nf
the school situation, that of funds
provided by taxation, Dean Hen-
zuK said, "In Nebraska at the
present time, from 93 to 95 per
cent of the school funds are taken
from property taxes. This is too
great a burden for one class of
people."
He believes that the tax base
should be broadened to include all
types of taxes. This would dis
tribute equitably the burden of
taxation, and the school funds
would be obtained from income
and sales taxes in addition to
property taxes.
In conclusion. Dean Henzlilc
stated that it would be very desir
able to increase the training of
rural teachers, and also to broaden
the tax base.
"It is a serious problem because
of economic conditions in the
state," he said.
