Gibson To Aid Des
In Picking Iowa's Prettiest Girl'
DES MOfNES. la.. April 14 Who
is the prettiest girl in Iowa? asks the
Pes Moines Register in its initial an
nouncement of a state-wide contest to
determine this perlexing question.
The Register wants to know so it
has enlisted all the student publica-
tions
within the state and three of
the most prominent artists in the
country to aid in selecting her.
The Daily Iowan, the Grinnell Scar
let and Black, the Coe College Cosmos,
the Drake Delphic, the Morningside
Collegian Reporter and the Buena
Vista Tack will handle the conteM in
their respective institutions.
College papers in all other colleges
and universities will co-operate. Stu
dents at institutions where the papers
ido not take the matter in hand are
asked to see that the pretty girls in
their schools have a chance. If pos
sible some organiration is asked to
select the prize beauty of the school
and to send her picture along with all
other Dianas to the Register.
This galaxy of pretty girls will be
sent to the committee of three lead-
ing artists, headed by Charles Dana
Gibson, which will pick out the pretti
est one of the state.
Mr. Gibson admits it takes courage
to do it because he says, "it is worth
as much as a man's life is worth to
say one girl is prettier than another."
But if any man in America knows a

pretty girl when he sees one. it is
Gibson. He is the pioneer in the field
of painting the delectable creatures.
Since the Gibson girl made her debut,
we have had Fisher girls. Christy
girls. Underwood girls, and countless
other types, but it was the Gibson
girl who first won America's heart.
Another point in Mr. Gibson's favor
is that he married one of the prettiest
girls in the world. She was Irene
Langhorne. a sister of Lady Astor.
who, with another sister or two, were
famous all over the world for their
beauty.
Rumor has it that Mrs. Gibson is
the original for the Gibson girl, and
while the artist never confirmed the
report, he never denied it.
Just recently Mr. Gibson bought
Life, to which he sold his first draw
ing thirty-four years ago. The picture
was entitled "The Moon and I" and
showed a puppy silhouetted against a
silvery moon which he apparently was
serenading.
It brought the young artist $4. The
next day be returned with a dozen
more drawings, none of which were
accepted, but be kept on plugging j
away until be was known as the most
famous artist in the United States, j
and was getting thousands of dollars
for a single drawing.
Two other men high in the artist
world will help Mr. Gibson select the
most beautiful girl in Iowa.

RAGGER APPEARS
AT STAFF MEETING
First Scandal Sheet of Daily
Nebraskan Makes Initial
Bow Wednesday.
The initial number of the Ragger,
I lie scandal publication of and for the
"Rag" staff, appeared at a peppy staff
meeting Wednesday evening. The
Ragger caused everyone to be a gossip
till the stroke of the managing editor's
I eavel turned the attention tn the hnsi-
. . . .
ness of the evening, which was car
ried on with a popcorn feast accom
paniment. i In the newspaper world there is
nothing like being well informed. So
. . .. .
! originated the idea of the Ragger.
And all the staff agreed with him, as
their enthusiasm plainly showed when
they had a fair taste of the many
dark secrets aired for the first time.
Oh, yes. everyone could recall some
i queer thing that he had heard his
"Rag" colleague say a month or two
ago, but he didn't catch the signifi
cance of it till he read the whole
story of it in the Ragger. All went
away with that feeling of solid worth
which knowledge gives an individual.
The Ragger is published on green

OMAHA STUDENTS
Everybody knows that Omaha
is the metropolis of this state
but who knows the students
who come from there? Persons
from Omaha should be proud of
their enterprising city and they
ought to reflect a little of her
spirit here on the campus. It
is a shame when the students
from the smaller towns show
more back-bone and originality
than those from "the big city."
It's time the Omaha students
wake up.
There are two hundred and
nineteen Omaha students in this
University; but it's a good bet
that not one of them could
name or recognize fifty others.
All of this will soon be past
history. The Omaha students
are soon to have a chance to
show their spirit. Watch the
Rag!

ENGINEERS DEBATE OH
LIGHTING BOND ISSUE
7! Heated Arguments at Banquet
Monday Nignt Last Till
Well After Midnight.
The $300,000 lighting bond issue
which is to be presented to the city
at the election next Tuesday has
aroused much interest among the En
gineers of the University. Discussion
of the question was so hot at the ban
quet held by the Lincoln chapter Mon
day night that it lasted until well
after midnight. The principal argu
ments for the issue were that the
municipal ownership was desirable,
that the lighting rate has been re
duced and that the alteration and ex
tention of the plant were necessary to
produce current most efficiently.
Those against the issue contended
that the rate reduction was accom
plished by unfair competition, that it
. Is economically unsound, that the
present capacity of tbe A street plant
could be doubled easily, the pro
j posed program does not cover tbe
j situation and that corporations must
j be given fair consideration by the peo-
