Scholarship will be the order of the day next Tuesday when high ranking students in all colleges of the university will be recognized at the annual Honors Day Convocation. We too often forget that our purpose in going to classes here is education. Students who have kept that aim in mind deserve more recognition than they usually get. The Honors Convocation gives the rest of the university a chance to congratulate these students. Chancellor Gustavson, who will be the featured speaker at 10 a. m. Tuesday, by this time needs no introduction to the student body. This is his second opportunity to ad dress the entire campus and is an even better chance than the first, since the coliseum holds many more listeners than the Union ballroom. His topic, "Civilization's Challenge to Your Generation," is sure to present us, as students with an idea of the problems facing us as we take up duties as citizens of the world, and how to solve them intelligently. Classes are being dismissed for th convocation, so the coliseum should be filled, both to honor the students and to learn from the Chancellor. We're Sorry . . . They tell us the war's over, but the shortages go on. Due to one of these still-prevalent shortages, newsprint, the Daily Nebraskan will appear only as a four-page paper five times a week. We had hoped to increase the number of pages in the paper before the end of the semester, but instead we have been forced to stop issuing our usual eight-page paper even once a week- The choice was one of either cutting down the number of copies printed a day or abandoning the eight page once a week. Since there are barley enough Daily Ne braskan's to go around now, we took the latter course. As soon as there is any let-up in the newsprint situ ation, we will expand the size of the paper. Until then, our apologies. Dr. P. Butler Reviews Fiction, Non-Fiction; Names Best Novel Norton Name U.

Paul Butler, book editor of the New York Mirror, divided his convocation speech "Book Magic" into two parts, the fic tional and the non-fictional. Dr. Butler expressed his opinion as to which of the many novels written in the Last two decades holds the roost interest for the greatest number of readers. This book, according to Dr. Butler who publishes Lists of worthwhile lit erature several times each year, is "Put Off Thy Shoes." written by ti year old E. L. Vaynich. Mr. Vavnich published the book in 1297. Recommended as fit for the more mature college students' mind and for faculty members was "The Wind It - Shakes the Barley." hy Bank, The "Men Only" designation was given to the novel "Holdfast Gaines." This is the story of the struggles of an Indian who attempted to bring peace between his people and the white settlers in the territory of Kebr&ski and neighboring states. "H e n r y Adams and his Friends," a collection of 750 let ters by Adams was compiled for both professors and students. Dr. EuUer said that any adult Inter ested in politics would enjoy Letters to KernuV by Theodore Roosevelt. In this he discloses his ideas, thoughts and interests. Variety of subjects discussed was shown by the review of "The Vorld Grows Bound My Door," by Fairchild, an evaluation of the delights of gardening, and "Babies Don't Bounce," by Sulli van, written for the instruction of newlyweds on the care of babies.

S. industry to cut prices. So far industry has paid little attention to the con sumer's plea. True there have been some token reductions Ford and Ply mouth, in the automotive field but the trifling amount of these reductions shows them to be nothing but publicity stunts. 1946 was the most profit-rich year in the history of U. S. industry. Its net profits were over five billion dollars. This was despite work stoppages and post-war reconver sion problems. With many of these problems solved, industry can af ford to price cuts by cutting prices it would solve other problems. If industry is to evade govern ment control, it must accept its responsibilities. Nq longer can it sanction phrases as "as much as the traffic can bear." There is some sentiment among employers to teach labor a lesson by pocket ing the profits of the boom years and letting labor suffer in the en suing recession. Tactics like this can only hurt management in the end. The government acted in good faith with industry when it abolished the OPA and the excess profits tax. The government took these off because industry said prices would return to normal sooner if industry had a free hand to pro duce and compete. They have produced, competed, and profited; yet, prices have risen from their '46 level. Labor has not profited from their wage increases. In fact, some have gone so far as to say that the wage increases and subsequent price increases which negated previous wage increases, were calculated to make labor appear unfair and overdemand-ing.
