This week all the girls are puz

Schultz reconstructs life
of American pre-historic man
C. B. Schultz, assistant director
of the museum, writes in the No
vember issue of the "Compass,"
scientific fraternity magazine of
Sigma Gamma Epsilon, that a
strange race of people lived in
North America thousands of years
before the earliest known Indians.
Recent finds of human skeletal
material that match previously
discovered artificats prove the ap
pearance of these 'irst Ameri
cans." he declare. mphasizing
tbat little is known yet about the
appearance as they occupied a
middle period in prehistoric times
from which scientists have found
many darts and spear points but
few human fossil remains.
Skulls and skeletal parts how
ever, have been found in Minne
sota. These seem to be the most
primitive remains yet discovered
in America, and a similar well
fossilized human skull recently
was uncovered in a Nebraska
gravel pit. From such evidence
scientists believe that those an
cient men were not so primitive as
the Java Ape man. nor yet so ad
vanced as the earliest known In
dians of a few thousand years ago

Alpha Kappa Psi
hears E. L. Smith
"Every University of Nebraska
graduate has a great responsibil
ity to that community to which he
returns or settles after gradua
tion," said Ernest L. Smith of Ma
gee's Tuesday night at the regular
meeting of Alpha Kappa Psi, pro
fessional bizad fraternity.
"An active part in community
affairs is essential since he repre
sents the university and the alum
ni to those particular people and
it was those same people who
helped in a large measure to pay
for his education," he went on to
tell the actives and rushees of the
organization.

"We are not concerned merely
with the winning of a war. Our
purpose is the building of a great
nation," declared Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-Chek, famous leader
of the Chinese forces, in explain
ing the continuance of university
education in China in times of
their greatest crisis, to Paul Mo
ntz. American Y worker, who has
spent the past year with Chinese
students.
Enrollment in Chinese univer
sities has actually increased from
41,000 to 45.000 since the out
break of the war, Moritz said,
speaking before a "Fellowship
Supper" held Tuesday night in the
city Y cafeteria.
'China's young men are more
valuable in school learning to be
future leaders of the nation than
they would be on the battlefield,"
Moritz quoted the Chinese leader,
and added that the China of the
future, governed by such men. will
be "one of Ihe great and influ
ential world powers, a democratic,
tolerant. Christian nation."
