Pound Fund Income Now Sufficient The Roscoe Pound lectureship committee of the Nebraska State Bar Association reports that the income of the fund is now of suf ficient amount to pay for the annual lectures.

Young Demos To Attend Convention Nebraska Young Democrats will fight for the right of 18-year-olds to vote at a National Young Democrats Convention in St. Paul, Minn., Thursday. Members of the Nebraska dele g a t i o n include State Chairman Don Knutzen, University graduate assistant in geography, and Ron Rader, graduate in history. The delegates will leave for the three day convention Wednesday. THE DELEGATES have been instructed to try to persuade the National Young Democrats to fight for 18-year-old voting in their respective states. Knutzen said another fight was expected to arise at 'the conven tion over the age limit of office holders in the organization. He explained that the age limit for members is 18 to 40, but that men over 40 have held offices on the national level. HE SAID that Texas will send a split delegation of Democrats and "Shivercrats," followers of Texas' Gov. Shivers who led the Southern Republican vote in Texas for the last presidential election. Ex-President Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson, Democratic candidate for president in the 1952 election, will speak.

"Probably the scholastic achievement of the individual is higher in Europe than in the United States, but considering the American definition that everyone should have an equal chance, the American system must necessarily be considered better." STEFFEN, who taught school a year and a half, continued say ing that there were two main dif ferences between the educational systems of Europe and of Amer ica: German youth attend high school for nine years (from ages 10 to 19 . They are taught more advanced subjects than American students of the same age are taught A 10-year-old student can enter high school if he can pass a series of tests. Therefore, the German student has five more years of high school than the American student. He begins to learn a foreign language at 10; at 12 he is studying chemistry and physics. He studies in high school until he is 19 or 20, when he enters a university. According to Steffen, this means "that German stu dents have two more years of high school education ahead of them when the American stu dents are entering college; hence, the German student is probably at the level of the American jun- Group To Discuss Ag Organizations The Ag YM-YWCA Freshman Committee Group will meet Tues day at 4 p.m. in the Home Ec parlors of the Home Economics Building. Keith Erlewine and Elaine Mil len will lead the discussion, which will attempt to analyze the organ izations on Ag campus. Topic will be "The Purposes and Organiza tions of the YM-YWCA." If enough interest is shown, dis cussions on dating may be held later. Essay Contest Opened To University Students All University undergraduates are eligible to enter an essay contest on "Communism and Academic Freedom." A cash award of $500 will be given for the best essay. Typewritten manuscripts should be mailed to the Mat thews Award Editor, The Amer ican Mercury, 11 East 36th St., New York 16, N. Y. The essays should be limited to 2,000 words or less and sub mitted by February 1. Only original essays will be consid ered. The winner will be announced March 1. Young Republicans Plan Friday Dance Approximately 5,000 invita tions were sent to GOP'ers over the state, and a good attend ance is expected at the "Home coming Dance" for Nebraska Young Republicans, County Chairman J. Max Harding an nounced. The dance will be held Fri day at 9 p.m. in the Cornhusker Hotel ballroom. Admission will be $1 a person.

"ALTHOUGH I do not know if the American educational system stresses vocational training; that's one thing I want to find out. "The European school system emphasizes humanities, and a lib eral education because of tradi tions in Europe that should be upheld," Steffen said. "Let me explain what I mean by tradition. In the small village where I taught last year, the church was built in 1253 and the family with which I boarded had owned their farm since 1253. In America there is not such a strong tradition to be upheld. Lucky Americans and lucky American educators who do not have the difficult job of develop ing new subjects and methods from the old," Steffen explained. STEFFEN SAID Germany is moving toward a new type of edu cation similar to the progressive education in America He said, "Searching for a new type of education, which would be more adequate for children, HAMMER 'NAILS Can take it! 1 . 5 Z.

Formerly tha teacher was the authority who stated just how the subjects should be taught; but now we want to let the child do what ha is capable of doing by himself." STEFFEN ADDED that he was surprised at the number of re strictions on University students. "In Germany it is unthought of that girls must be in by a certain time, or that a student should attend class if there is something else that he would rather be do ing. Students are never guided through school by advisors or counselors." Steffen said, "I think this is due to the fact that younger stu dents attend the universities here, and that the universities feel that they must take care of the stu dents while they are away from home." Steffen, a student-at-large at tha University, is studying education methods which he can use upon his return to Germany.
