Social Security
Has New Rule
Students working at frtaernity
or sorority houses are exempt
from social security deductions as
long as they are attending school.
This statement came from the
Lincoln Social Security office as a
result of a number of recent in
quiries. However, according to the office,
cooks, maids and house mothers
are subject to a one half per cent
deduction from their wages, as of
Jan. 1, 195L
The office also stated that it was
compulsory for each house, profit
or nonprofit to file for income
deductions for all employees cov
ered by social security.
In turn, the employer house
must match the one and one half
per cent deduction total of all
employees. Payments to the office
are to be made every three
mnths. The next one is due in
April.
For further information, call
the Social Security office or the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Sales Tax Debate Is Tonight
"Should Nebraska Have A
Sales Tax?" will be the debate
topic for the first of a series of
"modern lied" town hall meetings
tonight at 8:15 p. m. in Love
library auditorium.
Four Nebraskans close to the
subject of taxation will square
off the battle.
Sen. Dwight Burney, author of
the bill now before the legisla
ture calling for the sales tax, and
Prof. Charles Miller, instructor
in the University College of
Business Administration, will
speak Tor the bill.
On the other side of the fence
will be Sen. . Charles Tvrdik,
chairman of the legislature's
revenue committee, and Owen

Prof. Clifford Hicks of the Uni

ment' and past chairman of the
Lincoln Chamber of Commerce
tax committee, will moderate the
meetmg, sponsored jointly by
the University.
Burney says that Nebraska is
not growing in population as fast
as is some of its neighbors be
cause "our present tax system
discourage investments in prop
erty.' Tvrdik believes that the desire
of government to spend money
does not Justify a new tax."
Burney argues that a sales tax
would lift some of the burden of
pay in for state government
from the backs of property own

NU Chancellors Have Shown
Leadership, Ability, Stamina
By Jane Randall
Pick a number any number
between one and 12.
If you do, you'll come out
with a man of exceptional execu
tive ability, remarkable leader
ship and endless stamina one of
the Chancellors from the even
dozen.
Allen R. Benton started it all
in 1871. He was, in a manner of
speaking, an expansionist and a
liberal. While the University was
yet in its infancy, it was he who
advocated the addition of women
to the faculty an uncommon
thing in those days. His demand
was fulfilled some years later.
Then too, he saw great hopes
for a "Greater University." He
shocked the Board of Regents
when he suggested that they
make provisions for an extra ad
dition of land upon which to build
edifices for the University. That
dream, too, , was realized some
years later,
1876 Fairfield
In 1876, he was succeeded by
Dr. Edmund B. Fairfield. He took
the chancellorship at the time
when Ellen Smith began her role
as registrar in the University.
During the time that she held
this position, a number of capable
men ascended to the lofty post of
chancellor.
Henry E. Hitchcock filled the
slot when Fairfield resigned, but
only temporarily.
The year 1884 marked the en
trance of a successor, Irving J.
Manatt.
It was 1888 when Dr. Charles
. Bessey first appeared on the
scene. This time, he held the title
of the Dean of Faculties, other
times, in 1899 and 1908, he served
as an "interim" chancellor.
Botanist Bessey
Bessey was a botanist. It was
through him that the state gained
its forest policy, and grazmg and
botanical survey. He also prided
himself on his herbarium collec

Difference in People
There are many interesting dif
ferences between the Japanese
and American people, he said.
For example, traffic is always
on the left side of the road in
Japan. They celebrate the death
anniversaries of important per
sons, they saw lumber toward
themselves, they strike matches
away from self, and lastly, their
shoes are interchangeable be
tween feet, but their socks are
not interchangeable.
Dr. Staker showed colored
slides of Japan. His series of slides
were divided into the general
groups of Tokyo, agricutlural pic
tures, military government teams,
shrines and hotels, Japanese peo
ple and flowers .
One of the most unusual pic
tures was of carrots measuring
from 12 to 18 inches in length.

tion at the University. The con
tinued addititons to the host , of
specimens together with an - in
crease of laboratory facilities
ultimately led to the construction
of Bessey hall shortly after his
death.
Dr. James H. Canfield took
over the chancellorship in 1891.
He surprised the Board of Re
gents with his resignation four
years later. Indeed, when they
lost him, they lost a man of ex
ceptional executive ability and
scholarship. The attraction? The
presidency of the University of
Ohio.
Religious Chancellor
Williams, Yale, Berlin, Leipzig,
Wales and Oxford had been the
educational haunts of his suc
cessor, Dr. George E. MacLean.
Originally ordained in the min
istry of the Presbyterian church,
he infiltrated a truly religious at
titude among the students on
campus during his time. He too,
saw the prospect for greener pas
tures. He bowed out in 1899 to
accept the top position at the Uni
versity of Iowa.
Eessey again stopped the gaps
before and after Chancellor E.
Benjamin Andrews, who served
the University from 1900 to 1908.
Samuel Avery, in whose name
the chem lab was commemorated,
held the chancellorship for Zl
years, the longest of any man in
University history.
He was venerated by Kiwa
nians as a "scientist, educator and
University builder." When his
portrait was added to those in
the Agricultural Hall of Achieve
ment in 1942, one of the Lincoln
attorney honored him in a speech,
saying that he, Avery, was a
More Picture
Appeal Needed
Too many people forget tnai
there must be all kinds of pic
tures to challenge all lands of
people. ......
Norman Geske, assistant direc
tor of the University art gal
leries, commented on this Sun
day at the first of a series of
talks to be held during the Ne
braska Art association's annual
exhibition.
Using canvasses as examples,
he reviewed the many types of
contemporary art represented at
the exhibit
"Because of a limited concep
tion of what to look for, many
rwinip are hindered in their en
joyment of painting," Geske said.
"The pictures oi wuaj un
mostly developments of past
trends." he said, "and they are
simply reinterpretations."
Cubism and its variations are
the only original creation of the
20th century. A new movement
created by artists described by
Geske as "ashamed of being art
ists" was discussed. These art
ists "disregard conventional tecn
niques in order to obtain 'ex
pression,' " ne saia.
Pointing out the crude can
vasses and mountings, Geske ex
plained that they would never
survive as those of the old mas
ters of the past because the art
ists have lost their regard for
posterity and are concentrating
on "creating an artistic impres
sion." Next Sunday's talk will be
given by Adam Skapski, profes
sor of Physics at the University,
at 3:30 p. m. on "Form in con
temporary Art and Science."
Reports Show
Phosphate Use
Pays Dividends
The use of superphosphate
when seeding bats or barley with
sweetclover or red clover is a
paying proposition in eastern and
central Nebraska, according to
observations made by University
extension soil specialists last
year.
Superphosphate has usually
helped to establish a good stand
of clover and in many cases it
has also increased the yield of
small grain.
Where the organic matter and
nitrogen supply have been kept
up by the regular use of ma
nure or legue crops, superphos
phate alone may be all that is
needed for the oats or barley
and clover seeding, said the soils
men. ...
But where the soil is not well
supplied with organic matter and
nitrogen, it pays to apply a nitro
gen fertilizer in addition to the
phosphate. Last year, oats were
a complete failure on nitogren
poor soil. On soils with a good
supply of available nitrogen, the
oats made 25 to 60 bushels, and
testa showed a good stand of
clover was usually obtained.
Recommended rates of applica
tion of superphosphate are 30 to
40 pounds of available phosphate
per acre for sweetclovcr or about
twice this amount for red clover.
It is most effective if drilled in
with the oats. It may also be
broadcast and disked in before
seeding.

guage of the farmer."
Avery to Government
'During World War I, Avery
was granted a leave of absence to
take a position of chemical ad
viser on the government staff as
a member of the Chemical War
fare Service. Dean W. G. Has
tings of the College of Law filled
in during his absence.
The University scored again in
1927 when the Board of Regents
unanimously elected Edgar .A.
Burnett to the top spot. Bur
nett had previously been dean
of the College of Agriculture and
director of the University. He
had clearly stated that he had no
intentions of accepting the chan
cellorship. Obviously, the Re
gents' ears were deaf when they
cast their deciding votes.
When Burnett resigned on the
grounds of poor health, Chauncey
S. Boucher, former Dean of the
College of Arts at the Univer
sity of Chicago, stepped up to
take his place. This man was,
in every way, a true educator.
In his speeches and addresses, he
explained educational theories
and attacked the policy of the
government of land grant schools.
Gustavson 1946
The face to appear on the Uni
versity's horizon in the line of
chancellors was Ruben G. Gus
tavson, He migrated here from
the University of Colorado to take
up the reins of responsibility
which he has held ever since.
Scientist and mathematician, the
chancellor has indeed indoc
trinated the school with a theory
of systematized administration.
Gustavson first showed his in
terest in world affairs when he
journyed to Europe in 1948 to
study conditions there. Only re
cently, he made a trip with the
republican senator from Ohio,
Robert Taft.
Indeed, the University has im
proved its standards and widened
its horizons through the initia
tive and drive exercised by the
men who have sat in the seat of
authority during the past . 80
years. Always on the road to a
better and even best university
what does the leadership of the
future have to offer its populace,
the students?
Nicoll, Keller Trace Progress
Of State in 'Know Nebraska9
A need for knowledge of our
own state was realized by two
University public relations staff
members and a 'former superin
tendent of public instruction.
Bruce H. Nicoll and Ken R. Keller
of the University have written a
story of the "Land of the Corn
huskers" called "Know Nebras
ka." The book was suggested by
Wayne O. Reed two years ago
when he was the state superin
tendent of public instruction.
Reed said that rnaliy children
are growing up without any
knowledge of their own state.
"The worst part of it is," com
mented Reed, "too many of our
youngsters are being conditioned
to leave Nebraska, rather than to
stay here and realize the real op
portunities that their state offers."

Men Deserve Job Breaks
Savs 'Time' Interviewer
Just how open is the job mar
ket for women?
Mrs. Alice Luethi Barnes, head
of women's interviewing in the
personnel department of Time
Inc., was Interviewed recently on
the subject of the job market
for women.
The job market, Mrs. Barnes
said is really a man's market and
she believes that it is perfectly
fair that it is. Although this
sounded like a blow to the female
sex, Mrs. Barnes went on to say:
"A young man comes out of
college, willing to start at the
bottom because he's starting on
a long life-time career. Most
girls plan to marry. Their careers
aren't going to be lifetime ones
in most cases. So, from an em
ployer's standpoint, isn't the man
with a long-term plan a better
investment?
"I think he should get the job
breaks. Because girls have found
that the good jobs go to men,
they complain bitterly, and yet
so often they aren't willing to
start at the small jobs to do
just anything to get started.
"Because they aren't going to
work for very long, they want
glamorous jobs, big money right
away, too, and those are difficult
jobs to find, especially for a girl
who comes in and says, no, I
don't do shorthand, but type a lit
tle." Training Essential.
Mrs. Barnes feels strongly
about girls having training in
typing and shorthand. In spite
of all the arguments that she has
heard against this as a limiting
factor, she says it is definitely an
entree and a stepping stone and
that it is always useful whatever
big jobs may come along later.
A girl may be able to get a job
without typing but often it's not
the kind of job che wants.
The question "What's the most
important about a job?" Mrs.
Barnes answered. "First, that
you're happy doing it The money
it pays is important, but no job
in the world is right for you if
you aren't happy in it, even if
it pays a fabulous amount of
money.
"O good sign that you like
your job is if you find yourself
thinking up ways to do things
differently, create better working
methods in your job. And if the
people around you like you and
you like them, I believe that is
very important."
Looking For Jobs.
If a person feels restless and
unhappy in a job, Mrs. Barnes
does not advocte quitting imme
daitely and looking for another.
On the question of changing
jobs, Mrs. Barnes said that she
felt that many people made sud
den changes because "you feel
you're in the wrong spot or
something you think is better has
come along."
"During the war, so many peo
ple did that and were sorry later.
People who had held their jobs
for fifteen or twenty years, who
had all the security they could
want, quit their jobs to take a
more exciting war job or one that
paid more money."
"Lots of people were then left
soil, the climate and the people.
The authors have traced pro
gress in agriculture, industry,
government and eucation. They
picture Nebraska as it is "a good
place to live."
The book is divided into eight
units with 23 chapters:
"Our Grass Roots" concerns the
Nebraska triumvirate soil, clim
ate and people.
A history of the state is found
in the third unit, "The First Ne
braskans." The fourth unit deals with Ne
braska as an agricultural empire
and an industrial frontier.
"Nebraska Democracy at Work"
covers state, county and local gov
ernment and education in "Build
er of Citizens." We the People"
covers five chapt-ers; "Our
Schools," Higher Education,"
"How WeLive," "So Proudly We
Hail" (famous Nebraskans) and
the "Challenge of Tomorrow."

high and dry at the end of tha
war. Something we have to re
member, says Mrs. Barnes, is that
it isn't at all easy for anyone
who's getting toward middle age
to find a job anyway."
Definition of Security.
. Mrs. Barnes agrees that securi
ty means different things to dif
ferent people some people seeln
to be able to hop from job to
job and never seem to worry
about security while others.sim
ply have to depend on that reg
ular pay check from the same
place.
"Decide exactly what security
means to you and your family.
So often a man settles for a job
he doesn't feel particularly ex
cited about. He doesn't hate it
but he doesn't love it either be
cause he feels his family de
mands that he does it, and often
they don't demand any such
thing. Men have frequently
found that their wives become
happier people after they've
changed from a mediocre job to
a good one."
Because this is a big step, Mrs.
Barnes recommended going easy
and weighing all the pros and
cons of a job you have.
