Between 4 and 5 assisted by Dick White (left) and Beverly Finkle (right), and 60 stu- dents irom his classes in current labor problems and government in relation to laoor. The survey, which will be pub- lished by the university college of business administration as "Ne- braska Studies in Business" will be the basis for scientific study of labor problems, ew sucn surveys have ever been made. Most of them to date have been purely uuoe i.uuiiw mint un.jr "uii.ii. of employed ana unempioyea. This, the fourth of a series of Dr. Swavzep'a studies emphasizes quality rather than quantity of employment. Conclusions on causes of unemployment can be made as a result of these surveys. Seek importance also. "We are trying to find not only ' , the amount of employment or un t a employment, but the quality of it. ; In other words we are trying to find not only the number of un ; employed, but the importance of unemployment to the individual and to society," said Dr. Swayzee. "The real significance of study is in the method used and in the showing that the qualitative as pects are more important than the strictly quantitative ones." The new figures received in this year's enumeration completed Thursday will be tabulated and compared with surveys made in 1932, 1933 and 1937. Studied in relation to each other and particularly to unemployment will be (1) employment status at present, (2) duration of unemploy ment, (3) causes of unemploy ment, (4) education, (5) number of dependents, (6) areas, (7) in dustry groups, (8) unemployment . since 1929, (9) government relief work, (10) industrial shifts. Scientifically conducted. 1 The survey is being conducted scientifically. Enumerators, who are the 60 students, have rung 3,500 doorbclb and questioned sup - porters of families. The 3,500 houses represent an adequate i cross-section of the city.

In direct contrast to the bare '; setting of "Our Town," the scenes in the forthcoming play will have a background of neutral tones in a ; Betting decorated by gaily colored . costumes of the cast members. The 1 scenery, on the whole, is dull to avoid a clash with these costumes One of the most unusual sets wi'l be that of the outdoor wine shop.

Mr. Hinds also said that in all events war profits are more in clined to be war losses in the sue ceeding depression. He stated that business prosperity is dependent largely on two factors internal conditions, and external conditions One of the biggest handicaps to internal business prosperity, Mr, Hinds believes, is a heavy regula tion or the regimentation of busi ness. How to get in Whos Who -graduate from Nebraska What chance have you to make Who's Who if .you graduate from Nebraska? Quite a good one, according to statistics compiled by W. Kunkel and D. B. Prentice in the Nov. 4 issue of "School and Society." In an article "Colleges' cause graduates of newer institu Contribution to Intellectual Lead- tions are now doing their best ership," Nebraska is listed twenty- fourth in the number of graduates who are in the ultimate record of noted Americans, Who's Who. During the last 30 years, figures show, a college education has be- come more and more of a neces- sity in the success which will land you on the pages with the lamous. 14.5 percent more of the people :r;:ZZZ over 50 percent had a college eau- uates listed, because of the diffl " . ', 4 . ui culty of a woman graduate to special training school. Lists trowing larger Nebraska is one institution of tho mnnv in the midwest which are obtaining larger and larger listings of graduates in Who's Who. Up rontrul section of the country has gained much in the promi- nence of its alums at the expense of the Eastern states. Liberal arts schools of small size and publicly-supported state universities have made the largest gains in graduates listed by per- centage. The number of alums of libtral aits colleges listed since Dr. Harrison speaks today before convo Medical missionary here on leave from post in hospital at Muscat Experiences of 30 years in the heart of far off Arabia, teaching and curing with the aid of mod ern but restricted medical facili ties, will be related by Dr. Paul Harrison in a convocation address at 11 this morning in Temple. The missionary will tell of his travels through the country with the Arabs, of primitive living con ditions, of lack of medical knowl edge, of the work of his 25-man staff in treating more than 125 patients daily, and of the results that they have achieved. 1 Home on furlough until next September, the doctor declares that he is spending most of his time in lecturing and in medical work in hospitals. As a recognized authority on spinal anesthesia and hernia, he is kept busy instruct ing and talking on these subjects. Spinal punctures necessary. In explaining the reasons ' for his renown, Harrison contended that he has had to resort to spinal punctures because ether and chloroform were impractical. In the first place, he had neither the apparatus nor the helpers to handle them properly, and too, the weather in those parts is so hot that ether evaporates. At present, Dr. Harrison is working on a report of his sur gical experiences, which, when published, will tell why his pa tients suffer no headaches from an operation, and why they are able to mount a camel several weeks before an American would leave the hospital. Before a student forum in the Union at 4 tomorrow afternoon, Harrison will discuss the political aspects of the Arabian civiliza tion. "Of course," he admitted, "if students ask questions about any other field, my discussion will change accordingly." Movie of K.

"Women, women everywhere and not a man in sight" is the idea this month. The cover fea tures campus beauties taken as they forget to eat for a change and watch the cameraman. Pic tures, taken during the dinner hour, include scenes in Raymond hall, Sigma Kappa, Theta, Kappa Delta, Chi Omega and Pi Phi houses. Carrying out the theme is a treatise of sarcasm and satire by Annbeth Keith and Mary Kerri gan, entitled ' Call Them Coeds. It discusses the datable women of the campus. Illustrations are by Rafe Combs. Due to popular objection, there is no gore this month. However, space is devoted to a "discussion of social affairs and affairs" of the campus. Bob Hemphill's "Platter Chat ter" is devoted to women artists in the musical field this time. There is a page of snaps taken inside and outside houses on the campus. Ernie Bihler took these and also the cover pictures. Two short squibs of interest are What Makej a Sorority House" and "One Hundred Per Cent". A dash of poetry now and then and many laughable jokes complete the issue. Chemists will hear Marvel 'Polymers subject of Friday night talk Prof. C. S. Marvel of the Uni versity of Illinois will address the November meeting of the Ne braska section of the American Chemical society at 7:30 Friday evening In the Avery lecture room. The visiting, scientist will dis cuss the "Structure of the Vinyl Polymers," and will explain the significance of these structures in connection with the theory of polymerization. One of the poly mers, polyvinyl butyral, is one of the most useful plastics yet evolved. Used as a filter for safety glass, this new substance is highly flexible and can be drawn out like a rope.

The winner will be announced at the Tress prom, a dance spon sored by the Iowa State college student publications on Nov. 25. n An The Student Council yesterday dropped the recommendation made by the judiciary committee of that body that punitive meas ures effected by the Council, act ing as a committee or a whole, if a faction or member thereof could be proved to have assaulted an other faction or member during rallying previous to an election. In its stead, a committee of five will formulate a model rally which is hoped will be followed by fac tions in the spring election. The committee will first investigate present rally conditions and then submit to the administration and factions their plan. If the sugges tion is acceptable to the parties concerned, the plan will be adopted as a by-law to the con stitution of the Council. To work on new type of rally.

Botanist sees 'plenty1 ahead Dr. Clements forecasts bright future on farm A brighter future for the drouth stricken farmer of the state is forecast by Dr. Frederic E. Clem ents, famous Nebraska botanist and former Nebraska professor, who visited the university cam pus Wednesday. Taking stock in new and more efficient methods of preparing and mulching soil as well as more drouth resistant forage and feed crop plants which have been de veloped in the last few years, Dr. Clements declared "that Nebraska; as well as the other drouth bitten states can take heart and look to a future which periods of defi cient rainfall will not be so de structive as in the past." Nebraska out ahead. The former university botanist pointed out that Nebraska has been doing some of the most sig nificant work in this field of re search. He described the agron omy research of Prof. J. C. Rus sel of ag college and F. L. Duley of the federal conservation serv ice, Lincoln, as "one of the most important and promising agricul tural investigations today." "Preservation of soil moisture and the cutting down of water evaporation to a minimum are major problems confronting Ne braska today," he said. "The new methods which are being devel oped to hold ground moisture, to gether with the more hardy crop species, provide the farmer today with the tools capable of reducing the tragic consequences of the drouth." Grandma, here we come with waltzes, rjolkas and bustles It'a modern to be old-fashioned f It's modern to learn what's old because it's new. Grandma and granddaughter have both bowed to the same styles in dress, and if the present trend in dancing makes any head way they both will be able to say that they danced the same dances. Yes, granddaughter has come out of her jitterbug spin on al most every campus from coast to coast, and ia gliding along to the beat of the waltz and polka of grandma's day. The style has proved so popular among students on other cam puses that a Barn Dance club ia being organized for Nebraska students. Meetings, open to every one, both men and women, will be held each Thursday starting Nov. 16 from 7 to 7:50 p. m. in Grant Memorial.
