UN Taxidermist
Velich Likes

He liked to hear canaries sing
when he was a baby, his mother
said. Then when he grew up his
love for canaries extended to other
birds; he liked them all.
But he liked better to mount
them, and now he is the only taxi
dermist of Morrill and Bessey
halls. Ralph Velich, blond, six
foot junior, has for occupation tax
idermyand French lessons.
Velich's career in taxidermy be
gan ten years ago when he was in
South Side high in Omaha. He
shot an owl one day on a hunting
trip, mounted it and retains it to
day as one of his most treasured
possessions of his adolescence.

Cornell A empts to Relieve
War Restlessness of Students
ITHACA, N. Y. (ACP). Cornell
university has launched a program
to quell war restlessness among
its students. .
The plan proposes student guid
ance and counselling, with em
phasis on health and recreation.
"College authorities have been
concerned," a statement said, "with
the disrupting effects of the world
situation, not only on enrollments
but also on the morale of the
students pursuing their normal
courses.
"The signs of restiveness and
uncertainty, as well as the loss of
interest of some students in main
taining high academic perform
ance, made their appearance last
year."

Forty Famous Acres is a com

of catching the feeling behind the

Birds which he has mounted to
tal over a thousand, he estimates.
Two aino coyotes which he
mounted last year are placed
among his best specimens because
"one albino is rare enough but
when you get two it is pretty un
usual. 1 Just have to put whiskers
in them before they are ready to
display."
Mournfully, Velich tells of an

'Human Alarm
Clocks' Don't
Sleep Soundly
UNIVERSITY, Va. (ACP)
"Human alarm clocks" may hav
something which they can im
press their friends, but they
don't do themselves any good by
being able to hop out of bed
at any given time.
This is the contention of Dr.
J. H. Elder of the University of
Virginia.
Dr. Elder says that if you make
up your mind to wake up at a
certain time you probably will,
but the "preoccupation of the sub
conscious mind prevents sound
sleep and causes waking, tossing
and general restlessness." It's
hardly worth the trouble, he in
timates. Mora aober In thought when they're Dot
drunk.
Mora careful In speech
(Kspeclally on subjects that
Kmbrace democracy, freedom.
Racial differences, the Isms,
and John L. Lewis.)
More young men now ara falling In love
Or at least they are getting exemptions
Because they have dependents.
They don't necessarily go band In hand,
The young couple, I mean.
One must consider when one rote, for
war,
That one Is voting for
High prices, fighting, death,
Undemocratic processes,
Ten yeara of prlmltlveness.
When ona votes against war,
He hurts his "national pride."
"Ona simply must not bear the Indigni
ties," One must burl oneself and all one's re
sources Into the fray while yet there la Ume."
"It Is later than wa think."
Or do you own steel and munitions
stock?
Thus far when wa speak of conscript
ing capital,
It has been of a "conscription tease."

ferring to agricultural education
at Nebraska. "All research proj
ecta in our agricultural experi
ment station program are directed
to the solution of immediate prob
lems of the profession: Our edu
cational program in the College of
Agriculture constantly reflects the
discoveries of the experiment aia

sion service carries these discov'
eries immediately to practitioners
all over the state in a contlnua

In closing Chancellor Boucher
assured his audience that projects
such aa the P-F-L program will
always enlist the ardent interest
and enthusiastic support of the
university.

summer. He had left his box of
specimens in the hills "and Arkan

and the next morning I came back
and there wasn't a thing there."
Birds Most Important.
His birds were completely ru
ined, and Velich rates the incident
as "the most detrimental thing to
my collecting that has ever hap
pened. Birds are the most impor
tant thing to me, anyway."
But if he did meet up with sad
events while on the expedition, he
also ran onto some excitement.
For in Snowball, Ark., the expedi
tion chanced upon an old Indian
cave. With every shovelful of dirt
and sand turned over they found
arrow heads and pieces of pot
tery, bone awls and human bones,
Velich relates. "Most fun I ever
had," he said, "and the dirtiest
job, too."

Urges Changes
In Patent Law
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (ACP). Dr.
Robert W. Kelso, University of
Michigan sociologist, urges drastic
revision of the patent laws so that
"the people, acting in the interests
of common welfare, should be a
definite partner in the ownership
of every patent."
Kelso advocates shortening of
the period of monopoly granted
inventors and that "profit should
inure to the public after reason
able takings have been allowed
to the owner of the patent.'

house. Previous co-ops used rented
houses or, in a few cases at other
colleges, residences donated by
philanthropic persons.
One of the finest structers in
Austin, the campus guild co-op
houe was conceived and brought
to reality entirely thru efforts of
the students. They borrowed the
money on their own, prepared the
plans, awarded the building con
tract and did most of the work
themselves.
Nine university boys began
clearing the lot last July, and in
the course of construction 145
students labored on it, receiving
the same wages aa the few non
student workers.
The campus guild started in
1936 with a qroup of boys seeking
to reduce their college expenses
by living together, buying wisely,
economizing wherever possible and
doing a share of the housework.
Texas U Plans
List of Poems
For Declamation
AUSTIN, Tex.. (ACP) Texas
student declaimcrs aren't going to
be losing any more contests be
cause judges don't like the poems
being recited.
The University of Texas Inter
scholastic League has compiled a
list of 2,988 poems that may be
used in junior declamation con
tests this year. Use of any other
poem would disqualify the par
ticipant from the contest.
Two years have been devoted to
preparation of the list, according
to Frank L. Winship, director of
speech contests, who believes it ia
the only complete list of poetry
suitable for use in grade schools.
iety of government bulletins cover
ing nearly every subject of inter
est to consumers.
"During the current national de
fense program there is a greater
need for consumer education than
ever before," Prof. Wuller said.
"I want to keep the course aa
flexible as possible. I want to get
the opinions of the people in the
class, find out what they want to
know, and plan the course for
their needs."
