Also, students wishing to purchase a Cornhusker will pay $5 00, an increase of fifty cents over the previous amount after March 15th. Capitol Personalities No better summary of Senator A. J. Brodahl'8 role in the legisla ture can be given than the way in which the senator himself stated it: "I had no particular object in coming down here other than get ting a more intimate knowledge ot government hnd trying to help the state I can truthfully say that this is the most interesting thing I have ever done." Saunders and Butler county voters sent Senator Brodahl to the utes to waste and before long they have totaled into hours in which nothing is accomplished. He said that students merely sit around thinking of things to do in the fu ture, and that if more of them would study while the sun shines they would have more time for sleep or outside recreation. Study schedule attempt. "Of course a rigid day time schedule for classes and study couldn't be kept to perfection." continued Harper, "but a whole Gymnasts win season's last competition In the last meet of the gym nastic season Coach Charley Mill er's Husker gymnastic team cop ped first place in a meet held with Southern Illinois Normal late Monday afternoon by the narrow margin of 364 to 364. Pete Kreischer was the indi vidual standout of the meet by winning tumbling, getting a third on the Horizontal bar and on the flying rings. Rylander was the star for the invaders due to his all-around mastery of the gym nastic equipment. Tumbling decides win. Tumbling turned out to be the event that decided the entire meet as Nebraska was behind until this event was called up. Then Kreis- hearted attempt at such a worth while habit would bear results." The assistant dean offered the proven fact that altho many av erage students get good jobs after graduation, the ones who have made use of their time and have gotten better than average grades, usually get better than average positions after graduation.

Local French committees are giving these children soup for the mid day meal. Our committee is giv ing the extras rice, cocoa, milk, sugar. Rich explained that the child caring program of the Quakers in unoccupied France includes be sides the school feeding, care of more than a thousand children in Quaker houses scattered over southern France and daily dis tributions of milk to 10,000 babies. The committee is also working in the concentration camps, where thousands of Spanish, German, Czech, Polish, and Austrian refu gees are interned. Survey discovers public attitude toward education Abraham Lincoln is credited with this observation: "VTith pub lic opinion on its side, everything succeeds; wjth public opinion against it, nothing succeeds." The Journal of the National Education association has sum marized the results of an enlight ening survey of the public's atti tude toward education. Co-operating in the survey were the Amer ican Council on Education, the American Youth Commission, the American Institute of Public Opin ion, and the General Education Waiting for completion of corre spondence between the military de partment and Major R.

The present sur vey, he continues, is one of the first national polls of public atti tudes with regard to youth and education. Nearly 4,000 persons were interviewed a number suf ficiently large to insure accuracy within 3 to 4 percent of the results to be expected from a similar sur vey of the entire adult population.

Has education improved? Eighty five percent answer "yes -better;" Lit era lure is popular topic at ' Vermont BURLINGTON, Vt. (ACP). Books on international relations and English literature have gone to the head of the list in popu larity at the University of Ver mont. Increased student interest in foreign affairs is evidenced by changing reading habits resulting from changing world conditions, library officials believe. Not only are books of an international, po litical, social and economic nature 6 percent answer "about the same;" 7 percent thing it is poorer; and 2 percent have no opinion. Should youth discuss issues? Seventy-two percent thing that young people should discuss con troversial subjects among them selves; 18 percent are opposed; and 10 percent have no opinion. Do teachers favor the wealthy? Forty-seven percent do not think teachers are biased in this respect; 40 percent think the bias exists; and 13 percent have no opinion. Is too much spent for schools? Nineteen percent say "not enough;" 47 percent, "about right;" 14 per cent say "too much;" 20 percent do not know. Should the poorer states be helped? Fifty percent agree that . the poorer states need help In or der to have good schools; 23 per cent disagree; and 23 percent are undecided. About one person in three is willing to pay higher fed eral taxes in order to provide help to poorer states. Should poor families be helped to educate their children? Seventy two percent would help families send their children to high school; 12 percent specify certain condi tions for such help; 12 percent ara opposed to such aid; and 4 percent have no opinion. Should the government provide work for youth? Eighty-two per cent approve of a special part time work and training program for unemployed youth; 11 percent do not approve; and 7 percent are undecided. legislature for the first time this c.eT tj, fin,t Wjh 27 points fol- more in demand, but newspaper T". . 1 1 , . 1 .
