In Geography
Among all the universities and
colleges in the United States and
Canada granting docWate degrees
in geography, from 1935-46, Ne
braska ranked ninth in the num
ber of doctorates given, Dr. Leslie
Hewes, chairman of the geography
department, announced.
During the 11 years, Nebraska
granted doctor's degrees in geo
graphy to eight persons, compared
with 154 granted by all other uni
versities in this country and
Canada. Clark University of Wor
cester", Mass., ranked first.
Nebraska, with three, is tied for
sixth with Ohio State university
in the number of students cur
rently working on their doctor's
degrees. Harvard University and
t Clark are tied for first.
The information is contained in
a compilation by Dr. Hewes of
doctoral dissertations from June,
1935-June, 1946, and of those now
in progress. It appears in the cur
rent issue of "Annals of the As
sociation of American Geograph

It appears that the time has come for university offi
cials to stop throwing up their hands at the "deplorable"
basketball conditions and do something. One more repeat

This is not aimed at the basketball team or Coach Harry
Good. In this writer's opinion, both the team and the coach
are doing a fine job. Rather, we would like to know when
the powers that be will admit that the spectators are out of
hand and take necessary action.
When city rowdies charge out on the floor with may
hem in mind, there can be no doubt that college students
are not entirely to blame. We admit that the student body,
as a group, is no gilded lily. Too many of the lads and las
sies have chimed in, and climbed in, for us to maintain that

In the cast that that does not suffice, restrict attend

the noise raised about this suggestion already, but it seems!
that the sound of cash registers ringing doesn't quite drown j
out the sound of booing. All the capacity crowds in this
country cannot undo the damage done to a university when
daily newspaper headlines start out "Near Riot on Nebras
