English Representative at Council
Meeting Comments on Hospitality
"The impression that I received in
England, and which I have had con
firmed constantly ever since I ar
rived in the States, is that of the
amazing hospitality and friendliness
of the Ameircan people, and espe
cially here in the west," stated Miss
May C Hermes, of London, who is
representing the European students
at the National Student Federation
of America, on her first trip to the
United States. j
"In England," she explained,
people are apt to treat each other
in a more reserved manner. If one
has been away for a while, he is not
likely to be treated with the same
degree of friw.dlioe when he re
turns,; here, one is treated the same
all the time; English people make al
lowances for differences which ab
sence brings, but Americans seem to
be cordial all the time."

Contributing Mail to
Annual Holiday Rush
Nebraska is contributing its bit to
the universal pre-holiday r u s.h.
Christmas boxes and packages are
pouring into the Station A post of
fice department in the Temple build
ing in daily increasing quantities.
"The mail is getting heavier every
day," was the statement made Tues
day night by Miss Gunnison, who re
ceives the incoming parcels at Sta
tion A. "We are being kept busy
every moment, and strongly urge
that the students send their Christ
mas packages as soon as possible.
Letters and first class mail must, of
course, be given precedence over
other classes. Packages that have
been coming in have been, for the
most part, properly wrapped and ad
dressed.' seadily, and is aa example to the
contrary that British people have no
humor. "Getting used to American
sleeping cars is one thing I had to
learn, she laughed, "because I had
to be careful so as not to crawl into
the wrong bunk- In England, the
arrangement is quite different and
not puzzling !"
She admitted that the sorority and
fraternity plan was something en
tirely rw to her. She ' explained
that English students lived more by
themselves, and entertained in their
own quarters, . while Americans
seemed to favor living in the more
'communistic manner. American
athletics also are different, accord
ing to the British representative.
Athletic Differ
"English athletics are entirely
spontaneous," she saidt. "Students
are responsible for the teams, and do
the coaching. There are no profes
