Academic Freedom to Be Advocated for Professors
KIDNEY PILL AND DANDERINE ADS FAKE—SAY NEBRASKANS
Due to an old Nebraska custom no decision was given at the conclusion of the debate held last night in Ft. Lauderdale, where that national commercial advertising as practiced in the United States today is more harmful than beneficial to society," was left an open question. "I think there is a speech of the series of debates on it.
Chicago, March 21 (U.P.)—Because of the University of Missouri, "Sex Questionnaires," incident a "blacklist" was established by the standards of academic freedom set up by the American Association of University Professors were being wiped out. The proposal will be placed before the several hundred members of the federation of American society for experimental animal sessions here next week.
Jack Morris, 'c31, and Henry Asher, 'c30, spoke eloquently for advertising as the means of reducing the price of textile goods. L. Pospisil and Earl C. Finkhall, of Nebraska, argued that advertising as practiced today was misleading and breaks down the sales resistance of consumers. He noted he acted as chairman of the debate.

During the conference the members will be asked to state their views by answering a questionnaire. The leaders must also adopt an aggressive policy be adopted in the matter of academic freedom by blacklisting offending colleges until they can take proper action or by formulating an anti-capitalist policy and enable other associate members to leave an offending institution." The plan to submit the questionnaire arises out of the action of Press, Statistical Researchers and raters at the University of Missouri in dismissing a professor who has circulated among the students a
"There are both advantages and disadvantages in belonging to a fragrant, conservative group. Discussion last night on "Fraternities and Democracy" at the Why club under the leadership of Rubal M. Khan is one of the advanced standing committees."
Why Club Considers Advantages of Fraternities
Those who were present also agreed that one of the evils of a fraternity system as it now exists tends to mold them into "practical joe's" or "patriotic forever" after they. They brought forth the idea that a university education was to make a man think for himself, and in a fraternity he was taught to be more like one else up his mind for him.
rather than admit that a man is not rash unless he is known, I would suggest that each man submit his qualification to the school board, when he first enters, and then let some intelligent man consider them, and decide whether or not they should enter.
It was generally agreed by the 18 present at the meeting that the fraction between barbies and the fraternity, 'and also between different fractions,' non-fraternity man was as much to blame for this condition as the man whose fraction was more

Deposit these disadvantages, ti was generally agreed that the fraternity system had a number of good points and that they were necessary, especially in cases where the state or county of Kansas, where the state does not provide any housing facilities.

The second speaker for the negative, Mr. Ashler, said that advertising "is one of the tools the plumber's advertisements have made the people of America take
The affirmative assured the audience that they did not condemn advertising as a whole but advertising as practiced today.
The Kansas debate team met the Nebraska team in Atchison yesterday afternoon before the combined Rotary and Kiwian clubs.
"We have learned to eat carrots, and them." Asher insisted. "Advertising has made us a homogenized food," the daily radio programs possible. That alone makes advertising worthwhile." He lay the force. "Which is easier to get rid of, a page in the Saturday newspaper or a saleman's foot in your door?"

Letters Have Been Sen High School Principals Requesting Their
Nominees
Definite steps have been taken by the committee in charge of the Summerfield scholarships, letters have been sent to the principals, and students are asked to select nominees from their graduating classes to compete in the contests to be held during the month of May. Applications must be sent to Prof. Gil Templin, of the department of philosophy, not later than April 1.

Of the more promising applications received the men will be placed in a special examination which will be held at several convenient places over the course of the year and will be expected to reveal the quality of the men's preparation and their ability to do the work of the job.
From those who take these preliminary examinations, a relatively small number of students are selected and invited to come to the University for a final examination, and the final test will be made after this final test as the income from the fund will warrants it.
This year is the first that selections have been made and 10 men were chosen. The students who are on the field scholarships are: William Bulman, Hutchinson; Vigil Crow, Coffeyville; Harold Dent, St. Louis; Hilton Gibson, McBheson; Conyers Herring Parsons; Burton Powers, Salina Donald Reynolds, Laurentje; Joseph Walsh, Warner; and Frederick Wirth, Brewster.

These scholarships are awarded for the four years of the college course but frequent cause. The course will allow withdrawal for solely, without regard to the financial resources of candidates, but the monetary assistance extended will be due to the needs of the individuals.

Treasured Old Editions Are Loaned to Watson by Chester Woodward
Some Books Were Once Owned by Royalty, Others Have Rare Bindings
Chester Woodward, A.B.25, of Toques hareis recently loaned Watson library some of the treasures from his father's collection, owned by Napoleon, Queen Anne of England, and other notable persons. On the small case on the second floor of Watson library are some books bound with leather bindings. Two were bound by Samuel Mearns, a famous English book binder of the seventeenth century, who was equally famous binder of the eighteenth century. In the same case is a beautiful example of French binding done by Dura, a celebrated French scholar.
Two "association volumes" are especially noted an attracting much attention. One of these is a book which describes Napoleon's campaigns in England. On each corner of the attractive binding is a crown, below which is the monogram of the royal family. The volume was once a part of the library of Napoleon Bonaparte which was leacted at Fontainebleau. On the cover of this volume are the arms and the word "Fontainebleau."
Horn Book
Another item of great interest is an old leather horn book which was used in the fifteenth century to hold religious texts, which were to be studied or learned.
A very rare and unusual book I one showing a "foreigne painting": tiny section of the picture on the cover, but not the tip edge of each leaf in the book so that when the book is opened and the leaves are removed it would be in ordinary books a white surface there appears a beautifully colored face, no visible when the book is closed.
In the two large cases on the to
floor of the library are 32 separate
cases decorated with each one deco-
rated with an illustration
printed from a wood block, and in
most cases colored by hand. Some
cases represented there are those of Albu-
munius, of Venice; Peter Schofler,
of Mauzier; Erik Ratzold, of Augs-
burg.
Parchment Antiphonals
In addition to these examples or fifteenth century printing and illustration, there is displayed a beautiful fifteenth century antiphon on parchment. The music is accompanied by the text. The text is accompanied by music showing the square notes which were then in use, and the music is arranged for a choir or alternate singing by a divided choir.
Mr. Woodward plans to bring some more of his library treasures to the students in this class, but the students may have a chance to inspect some real treasures in order to do it.

JUNIOR COLLEGE ATHLETES MAY LOSE ONE YEAR
New Rule Says 12 Months'

HUHN CASE UNDECIDED
Status of Elongated Missouri Forward Hinges on Next Faculty Vote
Junior college athletes who come to a university after two years of varsity competition at the 2-year stage for 12 months before they can take part in inter-college contests. The four students will count for one year's play at the four-year school. These two decisions are made by the faculty members of the Big Six conference at the business session held this morning at the Eldridge
In explaining the above action, Dr. H, H. King of K.A.C.A., president of the organization, used the following two years to train him, a two-year institution carried only five hours his first nine months but he began later and then his second two semesters found him taking three hours. Under past rules he would still be enrolled in the larger school, but the larger school. The new rule makes him at the junior college count for one year at the four-year school because that he be a resident of his new location for 12 months before playing, limits his varsity competition to two.
"Rule Retroactive," says iKug
"As I interpret the rule it is retrospective," said Doctor King. "By that I mean that it applies to athletes altogether decided by the members whether this will be the procedure or whether it will go into effect Sept. 1. This point will be voted upon at the next morning, which is scheduled for tomorrow morning."
The omission in confirming the retraciences of the new rule leaves the stature of Charles Huh, elongated Milton forward, still in question. He is much more ready than he was ready in school, then Huh is definitely malleable for further play, but if the date is set for September, then the fighter star will have another sea-
A general discussion of the Big Six questionnaire was also part of the morning meeting but nothing definite was done.
