MUSIC WEEK
In this age of many special weeks, it is a rare thing to find one "week" that really brings profit and pleasure to those who observe it. Music Week brings to the Hill the best in thought and production in that classical field. There is something of value to everyone in this week. Both those who take part and those who only listen are the better for it. All are given the privilege of hearing outstanding musicians and musical organizations.
It has often been said of the American people that they do not appreciate good music as do those of other countries. If the charge is false this week will be greeted with the enthusiasm attendant on anything that gives pleasure. If the indictment is true, this constitutes one of the best means of developing an appreciation of music. Students attending the University for the purpose of broadening their culture will welcome it as an opportunity to accomplish this end. The value of Music Week to the University and the surrounding community is insustible.
This Honor's Convocation comes in mighty handy for them that are behind in our semester's work. If we had them a little more frequently there would be fewer flanking out.
HONOR'S CONVOCATION
Today the University has again paused to honor those who have put scholarship first in their college lives. It has turned aside for an hour from the usual grind of studies and recreation to pay tribute to those who have won the highest places in scholastic ability. Today it is not the athlete, nor the politician who is exulted, but he who is known in the true sense of the word as a student, one eager for knowledge. In today's convoitation, the honors were given to those who by their perseverance, industry and intelligence have become the learned of the learned, the erudite of a scholastic community.
Today also has been set aside to pay high tribute to one who has led the University in all its phases of life. In him are exemplified all the qualities that go to make up the best in college life. "Character, scholarship, breadth of interest, unselfish service and leadership" in him find their common ground and fulfillment. It is altogether fitting and proper that he should be thus honored.

THE FINE ART OF BLUFFING Does college serve to train me and women in the art of bluffing? An investigation was recently conducted at the University of Cincinnati which seems to establish the fact that it does. Half of the 100 students who unwittingly took the test bluffed
46. 88 per cent or more. Some bluffed their way through 81 per cent of the examination, which contained questions that had no answer. The students were asked to define fictious words, to designate the authors of unwritten books, or to identify the character using alleged quotations from Shakespeare plays.
The same test was given to 58 persons, picked at random, who had never been to a college or university. Their bluffing score averaged only 25 percent, considerably lower than the mark made by the university students who, it seems, were more highly trained in the fine art of bluffing. "It appears," says Mr. Edwin E. Slosson, "that our educational system trains to dishonesty and pretentiousness, to false assumption of knowledge and concealment of ignorance." It is reassuring, however, to learn that seniors bluffed the least and freshmen the most. Also, the students who had high academic ratings averaged comparatively low scores in bluffing.
It has never been proved that the clothes make the man, but everyone knows that his wife's clothes break him.
AT MONTE CARLO
Americans seem to be becoming conspicuous by their absence at the famous Casinos of the French Rivière, "Americans are playing less and less," an official at the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo, said. The decrease in the number of Americans interested in gambling is probably due to a change in the tourist element. More people going to Europe now than ever before are going for business or education rather than pleasure. The bulk of the tourists now going abroad has shifted from the idle-rich looking for amusement, to the school teacher, the college student, the convention delegate and the "middle class" in general. Those traveler think twice or three times before letting house of any cash.
For the wealthy that continue to seek happiness in other hands this particular gambling has, no doubt, lost a great deal of its charm. A newer thrill must take its place. Fade are that upon which amusements are dependent, and they grow old quickly.
Out West, where men are men and grammar is forgotten.
ROOVER AND THE NEWSPAPERS
The newspapers are well started on their campaign to boost President Hoover, a campaign which requires that every action of the president or his wife be carefully noted and dealt out to the public in a manner to mitch to it great importance, no matter how trivial the act in itself may be. The President prefers fishing to riding or yachting, therefore he does away with an expensive yacht and removes the riding stably; all of which, of course, is of great public concern. Around Easter newspaper readers were informed that Mrs. Hoover had no new Easter dress but would wear an old one. From these and many other instances it is to be inferred that Mr. and Mrs. Hoover are very sensible people, just what the American people demand in their executive. The press will continue to comment enthusiastically on every move the President or his wife must make for the next four years.
This same policy of boosting was followed for Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Harding. In the case of Mr. Coolidge, where it was not possible to praise for what he did say he was praised for what he did not say. His silence filled inches of newspaper columns; and he became a national hero to all who had ever heard the words "Silence is Golden" whether or not they believed it sufficiently to practice it themselves.
A campaign of this kind in connection with the leader of the country may be a good thing. However, it should not be used to the extent that small issues cover up large ones. Mr. Hoover, in his administration seems destined to meet problems that will be large enough to test his character without recourse to the petty, unimportant events of his daily life.
It's bad luck to be superstitious.

The spindle which found showed that the early inhabitants of these Indian towns understood how to spin and work in wood. Many tools and weapons of copper were also found. Tools and intaglio work were used for making beads, while a strap over the left shoulder; at Harappu, 450 miles south, the men were mute. At both sites, spindles were made.
"Inside Stuff"
The Kanan now most apologizes for breaking a release date by its publication of the list of bombs in the attack. The Kanan, unknowledge burean, unknown to editors of the Kanan, had sent the list to papers and was released after the bombing release. The Kanan secured the list from another source, and unsealed the release date had been set, published it.
Today's Best Editorial
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST JOB IS ABOUT FINISHED
Within a week or so a new and definitive plan for a settlement of the German reparations problem will be presented. If the "expert" who has prepared the plan have done their work well, this plan will represent a final liquidation of financial issues left by the World War II warring nations. The salient points of these discussions can be accepted as shewing for the indefinite future the differences which for ten years have split the world into almost equally unhappy laborers and creditors.
In order to accomplish this end, there must be voluntary acceptance on both sides. Germany, or rather German majority opinion, has to be supported by the other countries in preparation constitute a fair share of the distributed war burden. This inevitably means concessions on the part of the creditors. In turn the creditors must be guaranteed to realize that final liquidation is worth paying for.
Hence, the task of the "experts" went far beyond the mere fixing of schedules for payment. Devices have been built to be nearly as nearly as possible "invisible." Payments which endanger currency statuity are visible. Payments which are invisible, such as those from other nations are paying are visible. Above all, debts which have been made domestic issues and cause disputes with other nations are highly visible.
Of course there is nothing permanent under the sun. Schedules which are not used every day and preparations over sixty years are necessary for the simple reason that the amounts are so tremendous. But if the problem was that the generation will find some way to re-adjust the problem as between debt and credit, then it has been to adjust it for the next "severe dozen years" as the head of the government expected dozen years would be permanent, so far as this generation is concerned.

*Bases the men worn sidewheels, and heard but not seen in the cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and horses; they raised wheat; they knew gold, silver and bronze; the most interesting, however, is the fact that they could write. Inscribed seals were discovered in the bones of these animals.*
Attractively served to satisfy that jaded appetite.
The first announcement of these finds by Sir John Marshall in 1924 led to a number of actions. Sayer was likenesses between the art and script on the Indian seals and those from the British Isles, beginning to compare them with the script of ancient Sumer. Doctor Barton of Philadelphia, who has entered the lists on the opening side. There are a very few of the seals with script found in the New York museum,
It is not possible as yet to compare all of the inscribed seals, for they are all not known and have not been published. Sir John Marshall's three volumes on the subject being there are also in the Doctor Barton avers that the Indian script of this line shows a long period of previous development before formalization, and also that it was original and independent of the other script languages brought under common control.
The New Cafeteria
The original numerical system of the Sumerian is seigessiagonal, but that at Mohenjo-daro and Horgeppe seems to be more like an alphabet than an additional argument for the independence of the early people in India from the people of Sumer. The script cannot be read by modern scholars, however, whether the Indian seal-script run or both ways, alternately. In the meantime, a mighty commission is going up with the experts, in cienarian hands.

There is a longer story connected with the work of Doctor Weaver's scientist, Jack L. Moore, in the formicious forms of plant life, however the scientific world accepts the findings of the scientist as contributions to his research and that he is readily available. Doctor Weaver's research has been in a practically uninterrupted state since 1965 and guests have scratched the plant above the ground. The Nebraska professor studied the part of the plant below the ground—the part that supports and feeds the luxurious green vegetation.
But the nearness of the work, and the prominence that has come to which we belong in the field of ecology, does not complete the story. There is more. Active findings have come from the findings have come as the result of extra effects, and at the extreme of extreme effects, there is a story that the public solusion has related, and even less apportioned

Success requires that there is a willingness that will repay for the sacrifice in health, for the neglect of personal affairs that has necessarily accompanied such a task.
There is no way to recompense for the leisure that has been forgone, and this is why Professor Eliot places something of the character that Doctor Wonder has, under the circumstances that force a man to resist an active activist at the same time, then the students of the University and the people of New York, to take part in a whole story. — Daily Nebraskan.
