They Call It
Spring Fever
"Nebraska is the only campus I know of
where the students expect to have spring fever.
They look forward alt winter to having it on the
first warm day. At other universities they don't
think about It until it actually hits them." Such
was the recent comment from a person whose
work has ,given him a first-hand knowledge of
various educational institutions over the country.
And whether or not it is true that we are unique
in this respect, it is fairly obvious that we are
extremely spring fever-conscious here from an
early date each year.
Plans made In December for spring event of
a more or less academic sort are usually tempered
by the assumption that we'll all have succumbed to
the fever by then and consequently too much can't
be expected In the way of results. In other words,
good scholastic Intentions just melt right down
with the snow as inevitably as any other natural
phenomenon. When scenic nature comes to life,
something dies in campus human nature -mostly
a desire to study, but it still stands to reason that
at the least we should allow ourselves to be over
taken only in due time by this spring fever Instead
of actually racing forward to meet it
Spring is a great Institution, as nobody can
deny, but so are universities even if they weren't
here first. Take it from Grandpa DAILY he
f the long white beard the time te work te
(earn is when you're paying for the privllige,
because if you dont, it's not likely that you'll
ever get the chance te learn te work wntn seme
ene else is paying you for It.

If and when you see "Life's" series of pictures
of Dartmouth' Intradorm radio station WHD, it
won't be Dartmouth's exact collegiana pattern that
you will for the photographer had to arrange
things to fit the picture magazine's idea of what
college life should be. Chief difficulty in getting
the pictures was the mob of students who followed
the photographer around getting in his way.
There has" been so much much trouble with stu
dent elections at the University of Texas that an
entirely revised voting system was set up. They
have appointed election judges to supervise the bal
loting, and use a master student directory and cross
reference card file to check the validity of the
votes. Every ballot is numbered with the same
number that the individual student's voting .card
carries. Only trouble is that the only ones who even
claim to understand the system are the judges
themselves.
At Iowa State, where they have had a central
booking agency for campus parties for about 8
years, the director of the agency submitted a new
plan which would result in better service and cut
his salary about 40 percent. From now on the
booking agent will earn about $600 a year rather
than the $1,000 he has been getting. The office
was put on an elective basis beginning next fall.
a
Story of the most blase event of the week comes
from the University of Washington "Daily" which
tells of three student architects who awoke one
morning to learn they had won prizes in a contest
they didn't even know they entered. The entries
were sent in by interested friends. Payoff came
when one of the prize winners didn't even remember
painting the picture which won him the award.

LEWIS SPOUTS AGAIN.
John L. Lewis has been piling straws again,
this time on the back of the democratic party. For
some time paths of the administration and the CIO
leader which once headed in the same direction have
tended to separate. Lewis has become insistant
that the administration come out more actively in
support of the demands of labor, and Roosevelt has
not indicated his willingness to move over and let
the hitch-hiker do the driving.
The latest dictum of the labor leader hints at
the possibility of labor forming a third party. Un
less the democratic party nominates & candidate for
the presidency and adopts a platform satisfactory
to the CIO leader, Lewis will call a convention of
various groups "to formulate a program that every
American can support." Included among the groups t
to whom Lewis would appeal for co-operation are
the American Youth Congress, The American So
ciety for the Advancement of Colored People, the
American Negro Congress, the Townaend clubs, and
"liberal agricultural organizations." While not spe
cifically advocating a third party, the plan indicates
that reproductions of New York's Labor party are
possible.
The real purpose of Lewis' threat ia doubtless
to remind the democratic party that he ia still on
the scene, and would like to see it adopt a liberal
platform for the next campaign. Even Lewis, who
seems daily to become less of a labor leader and
more and more interested in his personal affairs,
must realize that third parties don't win elections
in the United States, that farmers and laborers
don't vote together, and that the only possible result
of hla program would be the split of the progressive
vote, thus greatly increasing the probability of a
victory for the conservatives.
TOBEY'S TABOO TRICKLES AWAY.
Today the taking of the 1940 census gets under
way with little ado, the real verbal launching hav
ing taken place several weeks ago. Senator Tobey
of New Hampshire, still not fully reconciled to the
failure of his campaign against the census ques
tioning, made a last effort to have the section pro
viding for 60 days imprisonment for failure to an
swer the questions removed by congressional action.
Thus ended the mighty protest which he had hoped
would be raised.
Meanwhile the census will go on, we'll be
enumerated, questioned, and thanked. When it is
over and the noses counted it is to be hoped that
government agencies, economists, and columnists
will have authoritative figures with which to deal
with such things as housing, income, spending, and
unemployment.
Hooton
(Continued from page 1.)
Hooton declared that there ia a
definite relation to the crime com
mitted and the physical character
istics of the individual. Different
sections of the country are also
object to different types of crime,
metropolitan areas being sections
of "armed robbery" and agricul
tural country most likely to have
"murders, rapes' and other crimes
of that nature.
According to Professor Hooton
an individual's conduct is not en
tirely due to heredity for the
"familial relations are important."
The reason for studying the rac
ial class, he stated, la to "get down
to the individual so that he will not
be fogged by racial differences."
Small samples.
Questioned by Dr. Jenness, pro
fessor of psychology, concerning
the small amount of data he used
aa a representative sample of the
native American in his experiment,
Hooton replied that there was only
a small group that could be used.
"I could only compare native
whites of native parentage," said
Hooton, "and when picking a rep
rcrentative sample of these, there
are not many to choose from."
Asked if education has to get
down to biological reality, Hooton
said that if people don't develop
biologically they will "go sour"
mentally. "We must get back to
biology," the professor continued.
He concluded his informal discus
sion saying that "to make man
teachable you must have a better
man... stop production of those
who are no good. Learn about
heredity; It isn't being studied."
Fifty years ago the University
of Mississippi provided its students
with a dry storage space where
they might leave their gun when
they arived at school.
