architect
speak today
Noted builder to talk on
'Why Not Beauty' in
Morrill tonight
"Architectural Education" will
be the subject of a talk given by
William Emerson, Boston archi
tect, at a luncheon In the Union
today. He will also speak on "Why
Not Beauty" to Nebraska archi
tects in Morrill hall.
After completing studies of
architecture at Columbia univer
sity, he studied for several years
at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in
Paris. When he returned to New
York he specialized in model tene
ments and bank buildings. Emer
son is a member of the American
Institute of Architects, and has
served as president of the New
York chapter of this organiza
tion. Written two books.
Emerson has written two books
on architecture. "Old Bridges of
France." containing descriptions
and illustrations of French
bridges, and "Use of Brick in
French architecture, in which
photographs of French edifices il
ustrate the extensive use of
bricks in these old French struc
tures.
Recognition of the Importance of
city planning was forseen by Em
erson and he influenced the de
velopment of courses in this field
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, where for many years
he was dean of the school of archi
tecture. He resigned from his post
and was recently made a life mem
ber of the institution. At present
he is making a lecture tour of this
country.
Professor Smith remarked that
Mr. Emerson is the "first author
ity in the country" in the sphere
of architectural education, and is
an "eloquent and distinguished
speaker.

Overcoats will be in demand

New competition plan
will pick best students
Three years of elimination con
tests to reveal the two law stu
dents in the university best able to
present a case in court have been
announced by sponsors, J. A. Doyle
and C. B. Nutting, professors of
the law faculty.
Half this year's freshman class
has thus far entered the voluntary
competition, from whom 14 will be
selected for competition in 1940-41,
four survivors combining as two
teams will meet in 1941-42, from
whom the two winners will be
chosen.
Presentation is basis.
Presentation, rather than merits
of the case, will be the basis of
decisions, according to Professor
Nutting.
"The contests have been ar
ranged principally to provide all
law students with actual expe
rience in legal research and in the
presentation of cases on appeal,"
according to Doyle and Nutting,

Bright boy.
At age 15, Hooton entered Law
rence college at Appleton, Wis.,
and took all the Latin prizes. His
father thought that since the boy
was proving to be so bright, he
might try for a Rhodes scholar
ship. Hooton took the exams but
wasn t chosen, so went to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin for a Ph. D.
in Latin and Greek. While at Wis
consin he taught a class of 40
girls, who conspired to make him
uncomfortable, he says, by star
ing at various parts of his anat

Then Hooton took the Rhodes
scholarship exams again, and suc

found out he really knew little

Council seeks
solution for
Prom deficit
' Members want money
to come from operating
budget reserves
Faced with a $64 deficit from
the Junior-Senior Prom, the Stu
dent Council yesterday debated
and argued the question, "Does
the money to pay the Prom debt
come out of individual members'
pockets or out of the Council's op
erating budget.
Nothing definite was decided on
the question for lack of a quorom
after three Council members had
left the meeting, but in a test vote
taken on a motion presented by
Merrill Englund, providing that
the Prom deficit be made out of
the Council budget, the motion
presented was passed with only
four dissenting votes.
Moves fund transfer.
Englund's motion stated, "I
move that the Student Council ac
cept the debt incurred by the Prom
Committee, and that a transfer of
funds In the Student Council budg
et be made so that the amount al
lotted to send delegates to the Stu
dent Council convention last fall
be used to make up the deficit of
the Prom Committee." The con
vention money was not used inas
much as no delegates were sent
from Nebraska this year.
Two points of view were pre
sented before the meeting. Merrill
Englund, Kappa Sigma, argued
that the underwriting of the Prom
