and
Be-
cause of legal entanglements, it
was thought that the student or
ganization could change its name
more easily than the University
department.
The purpose of the Founda
tion as set forth in its consti
tution, is "to instill a deeper
loyalty for the institution in the
undergraduate, to maintin spirit
in the University alumni, to edu
cate the high school students of
Nebraska and surrounding states
to the advantages of the Univer
sity, to develop within the citi
zenry of the state a feeling of
loyalty to their University and
to use every effort to be of serv
ice to the University t d to main
tain and improve it."
THE STUDENT FOUNDATION
sponsors parties and tours on the
campus for high school groups,
prints a number of publications
for high school students, edits the
Student Directory and the Ne
braska Calendar and does other
such projects in the line of their
purpose.
Entries in the contest, which
should be short and clearly ap
propriate, can be submitted at
the Foundation office, Room 308
of the Union, until the deadline.
They may also be placed in two
boxes in the Union lobby and
Love library. Any person may
enter the contest and may sub
mit as many entries as they wish,
said Miss Dodson.
POETQ
Mouse Affords
Sporting Kick
Sporting enthusiasts were more
enthused than ever yesterday
after the sensational "Mouse
Sweepstakes" in the Daily Ne
braska and Cornhusker offices.
Events began eventing when
"Rodent Ray" Beimond uncov
ered a disgruntled mouse crouch
ing in a "Rag" waste basket.
"Rodent Raj" wasn't watching
where he was treading and un
consciously stuck his right leg in
the basket.
Removing the creature from his
trousers, sadist Beimond offered
the mouse first to M. J. "Mouse"
Melick and then to Jane "Rat
lover" MacArthur. "Rodent Ray"
was anxious to discern which of
the two was the greatest mouse
lover. After a hasty consultation in
the "Rodent Catcher's Encycol
pedia," Biemond decided that Miss
MacArthur, on the basis of her
happy cry when first seeing the
mouse, (she broke a glass with
her scream) was the mousiest.
Thus keeping the title for the
yearbookies.
"Rodent
rabbits.
Ray" is now after

Staknian Defends Science
In Charter Day Speech
Civilization,, the degree of in
tellectual enlightment and spir
itual refinement at a given time,
is on trial.
This was the view expressed by
E. C. Stakman, president of the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science, at a con
vocation in the coliseum Tuesday
morning.
STAKMAN'S speech opened the
Charter Day celebrations of the
eigthieth aniversary of the found
ing ol the University. The con
vocation was also the occasion
for the posthumous presentation
of the Nebraska Builder award
to Delmar Anderson.
"It may be true that the ethical
development of society has not
kept pace with the advances in
science and technology," Stakman
said. "Intellectual enlightment
and spiritual refinement have not
always kept pace with each
other in U g evolution of human

societies. They may be out of
step now, but scientists can
scarcely be blamed for it."
THREE "unfair" charges are
often made against science, Stak
man said. Science is often accused
of being black magic, of being
dehumanizing rather than human
izing and of putting new tools
into the hands of society without
at the same time guaranteeing
how these tools shall be used,
he said.
"Science has gone far to eman
cipate man from ignorance, sup
erstition and the tyranny of his
environment," Stakman said. "It
has not yet, however, succeeded
in emancipating man from the
tyranny of his baser passions,
such as greed, hatred and in
justice. Many facts that are basic
to present national and world
unrest and discontent are un
pleasant, but they must be faced
if sensible solutions are to be
attained."
