Society receives new angles
--as old regime abdicates
By Marion Dredla.
STRANGLED
by boomerang gossip and lashed
by dirty looks, and stabbed in
the back by her revengeful public,
Mary Anna has chosen the path
of ail martyred society editors. Os
tracized by her own family and
sorority, siie has sought the solace
of her horn-rimmcd glasses and
Harvard classics. It is to these
hands that she threw the smol
dering tonh. Her last words were,
"Carry on!" Them's was her very
words. Mary Anna will haunt no
more columns for a while.
PLAYING

Marie Anderson, Theta. Those
listed are Leonard Dunker, DU,
Kent Tupper. ATO, and Burdette
Wertman. Sig Alph. Could Marie
be considering giving back a Phi
Psi pin in exchange for a Sig Alph
pin?
SWINGING LIGHTLY,
Mary Rosborough escorted by Dick
deBrown, Beta, gave the KAT's
a song fest at Friday's formal.
Mary really warmed up the chilly
atmosphere. The Theta affair re

cause there were at least four lit

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Teachers
(Continued from Page 1.)
What he found here, he declared,
is most gratifying, explaining that
the university is doing a good job
acaremically, and an unusually
fine job in providing an extension
type of service for the school sys
tems ever the state. He referred
specifically to the university's
work in helping school groups in
Nebraska, both secondary and
rural schools, to evaluate and im
prove their local programs, and a
third unique service which makes
available to teachers over the
state suggestions, ideas and ma
terials on problems for which ma
terials are not locally available.
He was also pleased with the co
operative spirit displayed by the
entire university faculty. "Not
only are your teachers college
groups working together," he said,
"but there is evidence of unity
between this college and the rest
of the institution."
To finance visit.
Because of the university'3
eminence in the extension phase
of the teacher training program,
Dr. Armstrong announced that the
national commission will finance
the visit of an educational expert
who will work with university edu
cators in facilitating and further
refining it. In addition, he said,
the commission will probably of
fer to provide funds for the hiring
of academic assistants, which will
enable full-time staff members
here to devote even more time to
the development of the field pro
gram. The Washington consultant, out
lined the five-point program
through which the commission is
helping its cooperating institu
tions to study the whole problem
of teacher training.
Through its permanent staff, it
can provide universities and col
leges with the assistance of co
ordinators. By supporting and con
ducting conferences and work
shops and by subsidizing cooper
ating groups so that they may be
represented at these meetings, the
commission is providing a supple
mental type of service which is
beneficial to all institutions.

to penetrate the biggest field of all
in point of size, the tremendous
world of space.
Most people fooled.
But people, Collins says, often
have a mistaken idea about what
space is. We used to think there
was nothing between stars but a
vacuum. Now, each year, astron
omers are finding more and more
substances contained in these in
terstellar distances. These great
nebular bodies and their construc
tion have been Professor Collins'
principal pursuit for a number of
years.
During a two year leave of ab
sence he studied at Yerkes ob
servatory, owned by Chicago uni
versity, located in Wisconsin. His
studies of nebulae resulted in pub
lished pamphlets and articles and
a collection of photographs that
has never been duplicated.
Modern study of the heavens is
principally a matter of photo-

graphs. The farther away the star

reaches the photographic plate, so
several minutes and sometimes
several hours are required to pho
tograph distant bodies. The tele
scope has to be turned slowly to
keep even with the stars or the
motion of the earth will make the
photo a streak of light.
Filters find material.
The use of color filters to de
termine the amount and substance
of the material floating about be
tween stars leads to valuable pho
tographs. L?st year when a "fireball" or
piece of burning meteor, roared
across Nebraska, Professor Collins
gathered opinions as to its where
abouts from people all over tne
state and had an article printed
in Popular Astronomy on the sub
ject. The fireball exploded three
times during its course leading
many farmers to differ over the
place where the explosion took
place. By drawing converging
lines through places where ob
servers said the fireball traveled,
Collins was able to chart its course
on a map.
Instructs 94.
He teaches two elementary
courses in astronomy and several
advanced courses. Ninety-four stu
dents are now enrolled. Astron
omy has gained popularity consid
erably since the introduction of
easier courses. Formerly it fell in .
the category of bearcats.
Visitors are always welcome at
the observatory and anybody who
has a yen to see what Venus is up
to can peek through the telescope.
At present all the Seven Sisters,
the planets, are lined up in the
western sky stairstep fashion and
have received a lot cf publicity -because
of the fact.
