Since the book is of a current nature, Hill said that "it will be lucky if its popular use lasts five or six years." He wrote the text-book, which is being used in political science classes this semester, over an 18-month period in his spare time. HILL HAS gathered the in formation for the book since he began teaching international re lations at the University in 1926. Additional research was under taken, however, he said. Hill stated that "at first I was not inclined to write the book for Harper Brothers, publishers, who published another work of mine two years ago. After much urging, I decided to work on it." "ALTHOUGH WRITING books is always hard work, the more you write, the easier it becomes," Hill said. Books Hill has written previ ously are: "Public International Conferences," "International Ad ministration," "Claims to Ter ritory in International Law and Relations," . "International Re lations Documents and Read ings" and "International Organ ization."

Dales, First Editor By HAROLD ROSELIUS Staff Writer February ushers in another famous birthday as "The Ne braskan" celebrates its 52nd year on the University campus. However, the University has had a student-edited publication which dates back 82 years ago to February, 1872. This publication, "Hesperian Student," was published by the Palladian Society. The first edi tor was J. S. Dales, who was one of two students in the first grad uation class. A FOUR-PAGE paper, the Hesperian's back page was de voted to advertising while the other three pages contained news and editorials. Typical news concerned prin cipally the southwestern part of the United States. Items included the slaying of Mexican hepards by Apache Indians and the mur der of man in the plaza at Las Vegas. An ad run by the University in the first edition was of par ticular interest: "The Univer sity of the State was opened last September under favorable con ditions, and thus far has been prospering and successful." Of the faculty, the ad says, "The faculty, at the present, is com posed of five professors, skilled in their several departments of instruction. To these there will be added two more at the open ing of the next college year." And in reference to equipment, the ad states, "The institution is liberally supplied with apara tus, cabinet, library and all needed faculties taught. The philosophical and chemical apa ratus is especially large and val uable." MOTTO OF the paper was "Qui non Proficit, Deficit," which means, "He who does, not profit, loses." . The monthly publication ex isted for 30 years until it was re named "Daily Nebraskan." Recently the magazine, "Ne braska Alumnus," printed hhort statements by past editors of the Daily Nebraskan.
