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,

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.

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.

In still another article reviewing
the findings of this study, which
appeared in the American Journal
of Sociology, the university libra
rian says that "with respect to the
fiction read by both communities
it Is clear that not only did the
wealthier community read twice
as much as the poorer, but it read
many more acceptable novels, es
pecially of recent issue. 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,
