Professor .
Senning describes changes
crisis has brought to teaching
"The present world crisis has
changed the acceptable teaching
methods in the political science
department," according to Prof.
J. P. Senning in an interview on
teaching methods in the political
science department. He added that
professors used to be restricted
but now they are urged to teach
democracy.
Senning is of the opinion that
the present world crisis has im
posed a very real and vital prob
lem on the teachers of political
science. Unrelated though they
may seem, it may be seen on closer
investigation that there is a defi
nite correlation between the two.
'It is undoubtedly true," he said,
"that there have been certain re
strictions placed upon political
science teachers in the past.
Through fear of reprisal they have
not taught Ihat the government is
a co-operative enterprise designed
to enable groups to do what they
could not do as individuals "We
would have been stepped on had
we taught that, and now we are
in a quandary," says Mr. Senning.
The same individuals who would
have such teaching suppressed are
howling for the same teachers to
teach democracy and our govern
ment as it actually is. "In reality,"
says Mr. Senning, "they have no
idea what democracy is."

Iowa dean reports
engineering gratis
in great demand
AMES, la. (ACP). The lush
days of 1929 are here again as far
as 275 senior students in engi
neering at Iowa State college are
concerned.
T. R. Agg, dean of engineering,
reports that representatives of
more than 100 industrial compan
ies will have visited the campus
by June to recruit engineers.
"As a result," Dean Agg said,
"50 percent of the senior class
which will graduate by June has
either accepted jobs or has been
offered jobs. It seems probable
that practically all of the June
graduates will have jobs before
commencement."

collection.
Nearly half of the specimens in
the collection are from the famous

Statisties show
Business in Nebraska fails
to make usual seasonal gain
According to the February is
sue of the business index pub
lished by Prof. W. A. Spurr of the
college of business administration,
Nebraska's business activity failed
to make the usual seasonal gains
in February over January as
checked by the record of check
transactions, building operations,
post office business, department
store sales and farm prices.
The state's business, however,
continues well above its level of a
year ago. The building industry
leads, with February volume 17
percent above a year ago, while
bank debits a measure of the
value of all business payments
are running 11 percent above last
year.

Sehultz shows movies
in western Nebraska
C. Bertrand Sehultz, assistant
director of the university museum,
showed colored movies of the mu
seum's field work to audiences in
Oshkosh, Broadwater, and Bridge
port March 13, 14, and 15. While
in the western part of the state,
he is also visiting the two museum
parties which have been working
there all winter.
which was formerly stored in New
York but which is now entirely
housed at the university museum.
Buffalo skulls.
Among the 50 skulls in the
shipment are some well-known
animals including the buffalo,
giraffe, zebra, jackal, baboon.
Asiatic forms include the black
buck, Tibetan antelope and Prze
walski's gazelle.
The new specimen will ulti
mately be displayed in a special
skull and bone exhibit, and some
of the examples will be used for
comparative purposes in paleon
tology classes, C. Bertrand Sehultz
assistant museum director, said.
The Nebraska region of North
America is the origin of many of
the animals from the Old World,
according to Sehultz, and study is
made of the relationships between
the various groups of animals by
a careful comparison of the bone.
World wide collection.
Eventually, the museum plans
to have a world-wide collection
although the emphasis will re
main on Nebraska specimens and
animals related to them.
Already, a collection of North
American modern animal skulls
has been built up at the museum
during the last few years for com
parative research work, and it
now contains
more than 1,800
specimens
stored in a special
room.
The favorable showing of farni
prices, however, is partly counter
balanced by increased farming
costs. The automobile industry
leads in January reports, with
sales of new passenger cars 26
percent above a year ago. Only
life insurance sales have declined
over the past year.
While Nebraska's business re
covery was interrupted in Janu
ary and February, the nation's
business continued to advance un
der the stimulus of the defense
program.

Personalities
WILLIAM J. NORMAN.
A member of the fourth estate
is Senator William J. Norman.
He has been in the newspaper
business in Omaha for 26 years
and now publishes two weekly
papers.
One of Omaha's seven legisla
tors, Senator Norman is in his
second term as a representative
of Douglas county, fourth district.
"I want to help the schools of
the state all I can; I am vitally
interested in seeing that Nebraska
children get a good education.
That is my principal purpose in
the legislature." The above state
ment of Senator Norman Is sub
stantiated by a bill he introduced
L. B. 332. The measure embodies
a school employes' retirement
plan.
Probably most controversial of
the bills the senator has proposed
is L. B. 333. Under that act the
state would be required to give
preference to Nebraska products
and labor in letting bids provid
ing the Nebraska bid is no more
than five percent higher than the
out of state bid.
Senator Norman is a member
of the appropriations committee
and of the special committee on
intergovernmental co-operation.
