In this volume ran be found names that have special meanings. Not particularly funny when alone, these, when tacked together into a group, make such sense as; "CHURCH BISHOP, BLESSING, COFFIN. AMEN.

Dr. Boucher Up to Bat- Appearing; before the state planning; board in the role of spokesman for the University of Nebraska's educational needs, Chancellor C, S. Butcher presented facts to the slate (roup that laid again the foundation for the University ' interest in the ten-year building program. Dr. Hoiieher was named to a sub-committee to formulate the scope, of a survey of the educational needs for the next ten years and to plan carrying- it out. The significance of Dr. Boucher's batting- for Ihe University he heads lies in the fact that this is his first official appearance before the state's powers-to-be. The state planning board, which submits its findings to the governor for inclusion in the budget message for the bienniuni, liiust certainly have been impressed by Dr. Bouch er's knowledge of conditions in Nebraska, both throughout the state and in the University proper. Vocational guidance, occupational needs and job analysis are only a few of the major tonics that Dr. Boucher touched upon as problems that the University faces in its annual midyear and June exodus of students. Future of the University and its fellow educational enterprises hinges on the outcome, of the state planning board's survey and rec ommendations. All of these educational sys tems must prove their value as tax-supported institutions of the state to the taxpayers of the state. They must have something tangible to offer as an excuse for their existence. The state of Nebraska is more economy minded than ever before. The tax-consciousness of the citizens is keen, largely because the "pay-as-you-go" and "keep-the-white-spot-white" shibboleths have been mouthed vigorously and effectively", Too effectively, according) the representatives of education in Nebraska. Hair-dos & Highhats Starting with tonight's Military Ball, Ne braska's socially minded undergraduates as Mime their annual winter burden of " gettin ' but among 'cm." Tonight, with all appropriate glitter, pomp, ceremony and formality, the Ne braska formal season opens, Volt know, there's a lot of good in these formal affairs, just as there is the opposite. It is rather self-fluttering to get all dressed up in tuxes or tails or gowns or wraps. The alter ego gets a lot of satisfaction from this dress-up game, because we're all looking for gracious living and refinement. Whether or not we de rive cultural benefits from going to formals acquire Ihose social graces without, which no one can fully live depends upon the individ ual's view of these formal functions. It must be admitted that formal dress is a far cry from what the great majority of native Nebraska students are accustomed to. Tuxes and formal gowns are luxuries not commonly seen throughout this agricultural state. Unfortunately, there are those who cannot afford to indulge in the formal season. They are not to be pitied and they are not to be, ' scorned. If there is anything about the Univer sity that is definitely extra-curricular, it is the formal season, the students' social escape from things as they are. There's one thing to remember about the formal season a person in a new strapless gown or a midnight blue tails and under a new hair-do or a silk highhat still treads the same ground as the rest of the herd. College Newspapers Mix a three-ring circus with an old-fashioned newspaper, add- copies of "Time" and "Life" magazines, stir the whole carefully, and presto there emerges the college newspa per of tomorrow. This in effect was the message delivered to college newspapers editors at the annual Associated Collegiate Press convention in Cin cinnati. Several college teachers, acknowledged as experts, spoke, to the group on contempo rary trends in news presentation, and it is a consolidation of ideas expressed by these men that brings into existence, in theory at least, a preview of tomorrow's college newspaper. The circus element of newspapers is not new. "William Randolph Hearst long ago brought it to near-perfection. Yd it is inter esting to note lhat Hearst 's practice of making news where it docs not occur spontaneously was advocated by the faculty advisor of a "Pacemaker" newspaper, which is held as a star to which other college editors may hitch their wagons. Such pranks as dressing a male report et as a coed and subsequently getting him into an exclusive women's banquet were cited as ways to make interesting news features. One listener recalled at this point how the young Hearst once rented a train, equipped it with artists and reporters, and sent it into the mountains of California to rescue some snow bound travelers, It seems clear 1hen. that an ideal college paper will contain a profusion of human interest stories. News writing also seems to be evolving from the stereotyped "tell all the facts" system 1o a method of interpretative writing that will explain the relation between events and con temporary trends as it tells the story. To exemplify this irend the faculty ad visor of a Michigan colegi "man kills wife" storv. He who writes litis story, said Ihe speaker, should tell not only thai the hatchet had been recentlv sharpened, but iPecca also whv a man who once loved a woman suffi-1 cieutlv to marry her should grow to hate her) enough to Kill. 1 tins ine psyi'iinig ot mur der, not the hatchet, makes the story. It is employment of such interprcialivc writing, the speaker pointed out, that ha marked the phenomenal rise of news maga zines. His own college newspaper, he slated, had found that a weekly news review in the interpretative manner so satisfied readers that page one stories of big news were not read un til they appeared in interpretative review. The popularity and increasing use of pic lures has long been lakei, for granted. Sub. scribers would rather look at pictures than read. So college papers will use all the pictures they can budget. In their editorial columns, future col ego editors will be expected to shun intellectual topics such as "how to think," and will run aggressive campaigns for such causes as cheaper textbooks, backing the football team, representative student government and faculty domination over student activities DOWN BROADWAY BY MEL ADAMS.

May be the ancients who worshiped the sun weren't o "primitive" after all in believing the sun played a part in man's destiny, for science today is beginning to reassemble evidence tending to link human activities with the sun and planets of the solar svstem. This is the statement of Dr. Clarence A. Mills, professor of experimental medicine in the Uni versity of Cincinnati college ot medicine. He has attracted wide attention by his .studies on the in fluence of weather on mans well-being. Man is part of a chain in which sunspots are a vital link. Dr. Mills believes. Here is how the chain works: Man's energy and ability to do and accomplish are dom inated by his weather and climatic environment. This in turn is in flnenced by variations in solar ra dint ion brought on by change in size and number of sunspots, which seem themselves dominated by the influence of the various planets directly on the sun. f.nmnanv D: Dorothy rvuicner.
