Business Manager for Cornhusker Will Be Appinted
Instead of Getting Positions -toy
Popular Elections.
APPOINTMENTS WILL BE BASED STRICTLY ON MERITS
Election for 1921 Will Be Held Some Time in May Expected That

Politics Method Selected After Care
ful Consideration.
Cornhusker editors beginning- with the 1921 annual will be
appointed by the members of the Publication Board, according to
announcement made following a meeting Wednesday at four
o'clock. Dean F. D. Dawson and J. K. Selleck, agent of student
activities, were also present besides all the members of the Board.

senior class, junior managing editor, business manager, a thir;!
year man, and assistant business manager, elected from next

staff appointments on the Daily Nebraskan are made at the pres
ent time on a basis of merit.
Throe methods of selection of these
men for the holders of these offices
were discussed at the meeting of the
presidents of the leading campus or
ganizations. 1. Direct election by the member?
of the students at large.
2. Recommendation of two candi
dates by the members of the Pub
lication Board and election by the

Board. This third method has now
been selected.

comes in the announcements of the

Regents to "control student pub'.ica
tions in the manner in which it may
see fit,"

Players Jack, the person at whom
the question was aimed, and a girl
still young. She was a freshman at
the University of Nebraska in 1925.
They were on the sofa. Nothing
more startling was their amusement
than a glance again through an old
Cornhusker "Your" Cornhusker of
1923.
They were looking at the picture
of the 1923 seniors. Although they
were at the letter "H" In the alpha

a glimpse of his face.

looking. , - i
Jack was diplomatic and tried to
change the subject

offered.
The girl, only mildly Interested in
rugs at this particular time, kept on
in search of Jack's picture in the
senior section.

special number at the Pan-Helleuic

Many other clever Innovations will

according to the report of the Kos
met Klub which is sponsoring the re
vival of the traditional party. The
annual affair which has been neglect
ed for four or five years promises
to be the biggest event of the formal
season.
The feature song number to be
played is an original composition by
Mr. Coombs the author of this year's
Kosmet Klub musical comedy. It is
one of the snappy numbers which
will grace the production of the an
nual play.
The Kosmet Klub is .concentrat
ing much time and energy to make
the 1923 Pan-Hellenic formal the
best party of the University social
season. Tickets for the party have
been apportioned to the various frat
ernities and are in great demand.
Several fraternities announce that
they have gone "over the top" and

Jack tried to show the girl that he
(Mdn't care whether his picture was
there or not it was such a trivial
thing. But his other college romance
had "flunked out." He liked this girl
and he cared just a little bit inwardly
that perhaps she thought him a cheap
skate because he had not had his
picture taken for the senior section
of the college annual his last year in
school.
"Why, Jack, weren't you quite prom

you have your picture taken? Here's
Cob there's Bill and look over here
there's Jim.'
The situation was embarrassing.
Jack was overwhelmingly "squelched."
And the girl in the case had a right
to squelch him.
He had come to the conclusion that
while it had seemed a little thing at
the time, memories of school activities
are somewhat dimmed in later years,

that lack of a general publication,
which would serve to interest stu
dents in school work, was keenly felt."
The magazine plans to gather news

The subject of Miss Royden's lp
ture Is "Can We Set the World I:
Order?" She will coutiast the ad
vance in the natural sciences to thi
paralysis of the political world, and
will endeavor to show that the key
to the success in the former may bo
applied by the latter. Miss Royden
is rennowned fcr the ability as i
speaker, which is largely due to hei
intense sincerity, according to Rev
Hudson Shaw, of Oxford University.
Coupled with this sincerity such qual
ities as an appealing voice, a logical
mind, courage, and humor are also at
tributed to Miss Royden by those who
have heard her.
Miss Roy don is the daughter of S:i
Thomas Roydon and who educated a
Oxford. She was denied a degr
because if her sex. After a year's
A'ork in the slums of Liverpool, she
b.'tame aa assistant in a remote Eng
lish village her Shakesperean recit
als led to her appointment as th
first women lecturer on the Oxford
staff in 1905. After three years, she
resigned to fling herself into the suf
frage campaign during which she ed
ited the "Common Cause" and lee
tured throughout England.
In 1911 she made her first lectur.
tour in America. Shortly after he
return she was appointed as assist

books, "Sex and Common Sense," and
"Love of the Creator.' The latte

among the pioneers. She has broker.

rigid of barriers: that which close

SIGMA DELTA CHI WILL NOT ACCEPT
CENSORING OF ANNUAL PUBLICATION
Men's Professional Journalistic Fraternity Resents Action Taken
Yesterday by Student Publication Board Showing
Lack of Confidence in Its Judgment
for the Sheet.
BALLOT WILL BE TAKEN TODAY ON PUBLICATION
Boxes Will Be Placed in Social Science Building, University Hall
and Library Where Students May Drop Votes Re
garding "Censored" or "Uncensored"
Paper for Program.
Sig n a Delta Chi announced last evening after a meeting at
the Cornhusker office that it would not sponsor or have any thing
to do with the publication of the Shun at University Night this
vcar. This action followed closely upon the decision of the Stu
dent Publication Board to censor the articles before publication.
The, following statement issued at the close of the meeting,
indicates clearly the decision of the membors of the Journalistic
fraternity:
T
TO
Will Also Act As Board of Cen
sors for Skits on Uni Night
Program.
To censor the "Evening Shun" and
al the skits which will be presented
at University Night, a committee
composed of the president of the In
nocents, the pres'dent of 'Mortar
board, and a student member of tho
Publication Board was appointed by
Chancellor, at the instigation of the
acuity committee on Student Organ
izations and Social Functions. The
committee will be composed ot
Valora Hullinger, president of the
senior girls' organization; Chauncey
Nelson, prisldent cf the men's society.
I and Joe Noh. elected by the Publica
tion Board to serve.
The faculty committee, which rec
ommended the appointment of the
censoring committee. Is made up of
Dean Amanda Heppner, Dean Fred
T. Dawson, and Professors Rankin
and Sanford, and Professor Scott,
chairman of the Inter-Fraternity
Council and Miss Marguerite Mo
Phee, chairman of the Pan-Hellenic
council.
The statement issued yesterday by
the Chancellor follows:
"I hereby appoint the following
committee of students to censor the
skits to appear in University Nighi
and the student publication known as
the "Shun": the president of the In
nocents Society, the president of Mor
tarboard, and one student member of
the Publication Board (the Publica
tion Board to select its representa
tive)." S. AVERY, Chancellor.
The action of the Chancellor comes
as the result of charges that the ma
terial used In the "Shun" and in the
University Night skits in past years
has been questionable.
University Night is an annual .
fair staged under the auspices of to.
University Y. M. C. A. The "Evening
Shun" is a scandal sheet published
for University Night by Sigma Delta
Chi, professional journalistic fratern
ity.

Nebraskans Will Have Chance to
Entertain Foreign Visitors Soon
Three foreign students Hans Teis
ler, Piet Roest, aid Jorgen Wolck
are coming to our shores February
12 and will remain with us for three
days. They will be our quests and it
will be our duty to entertain them
and show them, not only the Amer
ican spirit, but also the spirit of
the Univoj-sity of Nebraska.
Last summer, when a group cv
American students visitea' Europe,
they were given a royal welcome and
feted to the last degree. Rates were
reduced for them, and regardless ol
the condition of Europe, the Amer
ican students were made to feel the
hospitality and friendliness so char
acteristic of European countries.
These three young foreigners will
be able to give us anthentlc and in
There will he no "Evening Shun."
For years the "Evening Shun" has
ben the head line attraction of Uni
versity Night. For y.ravs University
Nioht has been iie most talked-of
and popular trail. ct m r iho Unlvcr-
l of Nebraska. Put there will fce
no "Evening Shun." Why?
For eleven years Sigma Delta Chi,
men's professional journalistic frat
ernity, has edited the "Evening
Shun." And this body of men have
provided the University's scandal
sheet each year gladly and without
pecuniary benefit. The men of Sig
ma Delta Chi have had complete
charge of the paper. But no longer
it seems are the men of Sigma Delta
Chi capable of judging what should
appear In the "Evening Shun" and
what should be omitted. A board
of censors has been provided.
Therefore Sigma Delta Chi will not
issue any publication on University
Night. It gives way to any organiza.
tion or group willing to edit a sheet
subject to the censorship of a board
composed of the president of the In.
nocents, the president of the Mortar
boards, and the senior member of the
Student Publication Board'. Sigma
Delta Chi would not ask such a com
mittee to be responsible for anything
which might appear in a sheet. Sigma:
Delta Chi, as an organization, is will
ing and ready to be held responsible.
But to force such a task on any com-
j mitte would be Imposing too much of
an obligation. Sigma Delta Chi does
not fear censorship. It is willing to
assume this duty itself and answer
for anything which appears in the
"Evening Shun."
But there will be no "Evening
Shun." That is unless the students
of the University of Nebraska by a
popular vote convince the Publica
tion Board that they want an "Eve
ning Shun." uncensofed. A ballot on
the question appears in the Nebras
kan today.
