Friday, October 24, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN Ginshurg States Studv of Roman Law Valuable "Knowledge of Roman law is a necessity for a thorough under standing of American law," ac cording to Dr. Ginsburg, of the Classics Department, who spoke to the Young Advocates Tuesday. Dr. Ginsburg, an authority on Roman law, asserted that altho our legal system is not of the Ro "man type, many of its basic fun damentals', especially in equity law, are derived from the Roman law. In line with this, Dr. Gins burg suggested that a course in Roman law be required for all Ne braska law students, as it is at Columbia university.

About half the original Shake speare documents are in England. When war clouds gathered, Brit ish scholars secreted the manu scripts in underground vaults. "I have received direct infor mation from England." Dr. Lewis 8ys, "that some of those Vaults have been penetrated by bombs. My photographic plates some day may be the only available source for reproduction of the docu ments." Among the documents preserved by Dr. Lewi is Shakespeare's deathbed letter, on which the handwriting gicw less and less legible until the signature was a mere scribble. Prof. W. II.

Actually, just now much drain is there on papas purse to send Susie or Junior to college for a year? In a cross-section of stu dents, both affiliated and unaf filiated, we tried to answer this pertinent and timely question. The results were truly amazing, re vealing that there is just as much difference in the living expenses of the students at Nebraska as in the homes from which they come. But let's get down to facts and statictics: Consider the coeds and what it costs them (or papa to be more accurate) to keep beautiful. If the varying amounts spent are any indication of how pulchritudi nous or socially successful a gal is, some of the lassies with limited means just don't stand a chance. The sum spent for clothes by Nebraska coeds interviewed, to be specific, varies from an estimated $75 per year to $575. It seems up on a little closer investigation, however, that the average amount is between 175 and 225 dollars. $36 for Cosmetics. Still considering the women, items which varied considerably among the ten interviewed were cosmetics, and amusement. The high amount spent for cosmetics was $36 for the school year while one girl interviewed declared that she spends only $2 a year for them. Interesting to note is the fact that the turns spent by Ne braska women in beauty shops is negligible, as most of them wash and fix their own hair. According to national surveys this is not true of women over the nation. For Ag College . . . Livestock Judging Team Wins Place at American Royal Show ... In Kansas City The livestock judging team won eighth place last Saturday at the collegiate contest which was a feature of the American Royal livestock show in Kansas City, Mo. Iowa State college won top honors in the contest. Nebraska placed fourth on cat tle, fifth on horses, eleventh on sheep, and fourteenth in hog judg ing. John Schick placed first among all contestants in hog Judging, while Carl Ervin was eighth in judging horses. The highest Nebraska score in judg ing all classes was made by Mil lard Ickes. Other members of the livestock judging team were Orris Corman and Verne Kcrchberger. The coach was M. A. Alexander, associate professor in the animal husbandry department at the university col lege of agriculture. Meat Team Placet Third. Coached by Paul Fidlcr, the meat Judging team placed third out of the nine teams competing at the American royal, in Kansas City, Mo.

Only one of the ten women con tacted owned a car, which costs her approximately $50 to main tain and operate from September to June. On the whole, sorority girls spend more than unaffiliated girls, particularly for clothes and amusement. Of the ten girls ques tioned, six smoked and four were non-smokers. The average girl smoker spends, it would seem, from $28 to $35 for cigarcts dur ing the school year. The amount spent for board and room among girls who do not live at home varies from $25 (unaffiliated) to $16 ( affiliated . This is somewhat misleading, tho. because the $46 includes sorority dues and ex penses as well. Men Less Clothes Conscious. The most striking difference be tween expenditures by the. men and women was in the amounts spent for clothes. The moat spent for clothes by any fellow inter viewed was $150 with the major ity spending from $75 to a $100; the lowest amount spent was $50. Compare that with the figures for the gals! Every girl but one spent $100 or more (four of the ten spent more than $300) where as only four of the mens' clothes expenses exceeded $100. Do you suppose it 'Is the "cords" that make the difference? Room and board was approxi mately the same for both sexes, as were tuition, books, and clean ing bills. Books averaged $20 for the year and tuition about $100. of lamb, which helped bring in the points and place Nebraska first in that division. The team was composed of Verne Kerchberger, Ray Craw ford, and John Schick. Debate (Continued from Page 1.) either side of the question. There will then be squad meetings, then practise debates following which the teams will make th trips ae- lected. Anyone not present at the Tuesday night meeting may still compete In squad tryouts. Exact statement of the question plus some clarification material wa. released at the meeting. The proposition is "Resolved that the federal government should regu late by law all labor unions in the United States. Tho following definitions are an intrinsic part of the proposition : "It shall be understood that the word regulate shall mean, at least: 1. requiring incorporation of all unions; 2. fixing responsibility for tho acts of unions and the acts of their members during strikes and picketing; and 3. regulating the use of their funds, requiring them to make official accounting to their membership for all Income and expenditures and to return to their members all excess at the end of each fiscal year." People present at the meeting were: Mabel Jean Schmcr, Louise W'oerner, Joyce Burt, Edwin Do.sek, Art Rivin, Bert Smith, Laurence R. Kusek, Walt Greenberg.

Incidentally, he spends $18 a year for camera insurance but doesn't have life insurance! Naturally men spend a great deal more for amusement than women, but the amounts spent by the individual fellows showed quite a bit of variation. One fellow who works nights and has practically no dates estimated the amount he spends for amusement at $2 a month, while at the other end of the scale was the fellow who spends $200 in nine months, which is ten times as much! The aver age seemed to be approximately $12 per month. Of the 20 students, ten had some earnings of their own to ease the financial strain on their families seven of the ten men and three of the women. The aver age amount earned was between 20 and 25 dollars per month, altho three (one woman and two men) earned between $32 and $35. Papa Who Pays. Finally, the highest amount spent for the whole year waa by an affiliated girl (no earnings) who spends slightly over $1,300 of her father's hard-earned cash, and the minimum was by an unaffili ated girl who lives in Lincoln (consequently no rent most of board, however) who spends ap proximately $375 and earns $290 of that by outside work. A conclusion? Students can spend almost as little or as much as they like to attend school, and, judging from the statistics, it seems they do!
