TIIE DAH.Y NEBRASKAN, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1938. TWO Sttraidleinitt To the Editor: There has been much comment lately around these parts, especi ally in downtown Lincoln, about the prowess of Lincoln high school's "wonder team. Many en thusiastic souls have ventured so far as to say that Lincoln could defeat Nebraska's varsity. This is, no doubt, due to the poor nhow ing of Nebraska and the outstand ing succr ' the Beechnerites this year In all i to these Lincoln rooters, we must admit that there is a good ball club over at 22nd and J. But when they state that Lincoln would defeat Nebraska, they are classifying Nebraska in the same category as Crete, Beat rice, and Grand Island. Certainly their enthusiasm has oversha dowed their rationality. It would be ridiculous to think of putting up a bunch of 15 and 16 year olds against men in their 20's. Also the differences in experience, in prac tice, in weight, and in coaching lire not to be overlooked. There has been some talk of a post season football game between N. U. and L. H. S as was the custom some 25 years ago. While this would be out of the question for the reasons previously offered, CELLIST'S RECITAL (Continued from Page 1.)

IPimlls we wish to submit a substitute idea which might be more prac tical and have more popular ap peal. Why not schedule the fresh man team to play the Lincoln high team on some afternoon after Thanksgiving, perhaps on Nov. 26. There are several reasons for this suggestion: (1) The teams would oe more evenly matched than the varsity and Lincoln and the game wouldn't be a track meet; (2) All Nebraskans are interested in next year's prospects and this would give the freshmen a chance to have their names im planted in Nebraskans' minds; (3) Lincoln always contributes several varsity men each year. This game would give-the fans a chance to view possible 1940 and 1041 prospects; (4) Many persons are anxious to- see the ability, especially in the passing depart ment, of Lincoln's Debus. These same people are often unable to attend Friday afternoon perform ances and this would provide them with that opportunity; and finally (5) the frosh haven't had a c hance to play a real game this year. They are entitled to this consid eration. How about it, Weif, Jones. Bccchner and fans? The Cotton Club. Swedish Hear Thiessen Today Artist to Speak on Art In Morrill, Gallery A Leonard Thiessen, young Omaha artist, will speak in Swedish to Swedish people tthis afternoon at 3 o'clock in gallery A of Morrill. Thiessen has recently returned from studying at the Royal Acad emy in Stockholm, and because of his close contact with Swedish tradition and culture, the Scan dinavian club is jointly sponsor ing his talk along with the fine arts department. Prof. Dwight Kirsch, chairman of the department of fine arts, will introduce Thiessen in English and Dr. J. E. A. Alexis, chairman of the department of Germanics, will do so in Swedish. Thiesscn's paintings have been on exhibition in the University gallery for the past two weeks and these will provide a back ground for his talk. The program is free to the public.

Contemporary Comment- Join the War Against Syphilis The United States is fighting a war. Not as in 1918 by the moboli zation of men or the erection of barracks but rather by the assem bling of modern medical equipment and services to cope with a do mestic enemy. The war is against syphilis. The commander in chief is Dr. Thomas Parran, surgeon of the United States health service. It is not an undeclared war the dissemination of all information concerning the disease is vital to the success of the campaign. As an enemy, syphilis has no equal and there are no Gold Stars for the mothers of its victims nor decorations for bravery of those It lays low. It is the greatest con tributing factor in filling our state institutions. Its toll is insanity, blindness, disability and death. Last year the University Health Service joined the national fight to overcome the disease by providing for blood tests for university stu dents. Wasserman tests were given to 1,500 students. Arrangements for their treatment were made im mediately. It meant the saving of five persons to society. This year when physical exami nations were given to new student3 the Wasserman test was available to those who chose to take it. Eight hundred new students elect ed to take the test. Of this eight hundred, eight cases of syphilis were found. No one can be certain he is free of syphilis until he has taken the blood test. It is offered here under the best possible circumstances and is free to every student. Uni versity Daily Kansan. announced that the cash intake for the Iowa-Colgate game was $2,500. As Colgate was paid its guarantee of $10,00 the Iowa man agement was out of pocket a cool $7,500. The subsequent Iowa-Purdue game, played at Iowa City, attracted a gate of only $5,000, half of which was Purdue's mea ger share." Mutual Advantage. The columnist figured that if the game were staged in Lincoln, a well patronized gate should bring in about $25,000, whereas at Iowa City the Husker manage ment's guarantee of $5,000 will probably come to more than all the cash in the till at game time. Thus a switch of locale would be of financial advantage to both schools he concluded.

Librarian s Reading Survey Rates Newspapers As Tops Miller Submits Analysis Of Current Literature That approximately 90 percent of the American people are read ers of newspapers, was the state ment of University Librarian Rob ert Miller who completed a study of reading habits while taking graduate work in Chicago univer sity's library school. Newspapers are more widely read by all economic classes than are all other reading materials, Dr. Miller asserted. The univer sity librarian's Chicago study shows that among the unskilled labor groups 85 percent of the men read newspapers; 42 percent read magazines; and about 15 percent read books. Among the women of the same group, 90 per cent read newspapers, 63 percent magazines, and about 11 percent books. Reading Analysis. In a recent article appearing in the English journal, Dr. Miller re futes the statement made by an eastern librarian "thnt this coun try is not a reading nation." From his Chicago research, however, Miller concludes that, while Amer icans are not a reading public as far as books are concerned, when other types of materials are con sidered, such as newspapers and magazines, people of this country, do read a great deal. His study consisted in analyzing the reading habits of two contrast ing Chicago, communities one, a middle class section of the city, and the other, a much shabbier, unskilled working class area in south Chicago.

The bulk of the magazine reading of the better residential district was done among publications given a B rat ing as compared with the south side district, dhose reading was largely among C class magazines. Quantity and Quality. "For both tracts, theer appears to be a relationship between quan tity and quality. The wealthier section read more materials and better ones, while residents of the shabbier district read less and showed preference for poorer quality materials. Also significant is the fact that the women in the south side section read more love ftory magazines, while the women in the middle class strata under observation were more interested in home and women's magazines. Men of the south side confined much of their reading to detective and adventure stories, while the men of the other district selected many of the five cent weeklies." Dr. Miller also notes that heavi est reading occurs during the years 15 to 34. He points out that if the composition of a group's age range is known with respect to certain factors such as occu pation, nationality and education, it is more nearly possible to pre dict the kinds of leading done. and it is hoped that Dr. Koo will consent to play his Chinese flute, according to Robert B.
