NVbraska Sweetheart. From Girls Nebraska has Its share of the coed celebrities chosen by students. Added to the list of coeds wbo will be honored before the termination of the semester will be another May Queen. A handful of senior women hare cast the ballots that pick the most-respected of Nebraska's represen tathe coeds. Her Identity will remsln In the dark, until that fair day In May when the remainder of the siudenta all of them with the exception of the few doien will be Introduced in fltUng manner to a representative senior woman whom they bad no hand whatever in electing. If any election should be open for the partici pation of the entire student body, it should be that of choosing the May Queen. The popularity of the Honorary Colonel. Nebraska Sweetheart, Prom Girls, soon fades, but the May Queen remains rep resentative of the best that Nebraska has to offer. The announcement that the May Queen has been selected percolates out Into the state. It Is among the oldest of traditions, and among the most cher ished. It comes at the most significant time of the year graduation. Yet It It the most unrepresentative of the student voice of any of the elective positions of honor. Th-j Honoiry Colonel is chosen by the entire student body, all men In the University were eligible to vote for the Nebraska Sweetheart, and all attending the Junior-Senior Prom were privileged to cast ballot for the Prom Girt. The May Queen, a place of honor and signifi cance far beyond the reach of any of these positions, has been, chosen by a few senior women wbo had initiative enough to go to the polls and caat a ballot. Consequently, a few dosen senior women, absolutely incapable of picking from the senior class a rep resentative coed, have heretofore designated wh" shall be accorded the distinction of being May Queen. Three or four dozen women choose the May Queen and three or four thousand more students are forced to gobble down their selection without a whimper. Is that a representative 6ystem of elect Izjc. and 1 that a criterion lo the most ipieenta tive of Nebraska's coeds? The May Queen represents the University of Nebraska, therefore every student should have a vote in electing the coed to fill that position. The election should not be shrouded as It is at the pres ent time, but should proceed In the manner that all elections proceed through the channels of m. general campus-wide ballot. Nebraska student have been permitting to go on before their very eyes an election which is closely Identified with the traditions of the Univer sity, yet In which they have never bad as much as a feeble voice. Tbey have seen a handful of senior women designate the May Queen, the coed that rep-, resents the University, without being able to turn a band. knowledge than through direct contact, either by To the governor of th atate Is reaearch or trav..

They are given an opportunity to broaden their outlook on life; they are given a chance to get a cosmopolitan perspective on their particular sub jects; they are able to see things as they actually exist and not as they are set forth In books, niaga alnes, and other forms of literature. While regretting the loss or these young per sons from the professorial staff, the Unlverally of Nebraska views with satisfaction the advancements and accomplishments of Its membeia. It denotes progressive spirit not only on the part or the Indi viduals attaining the honors but the Uulverslly a a whole.

Too bad Nebraska doesn't have any whales! Some courses are just one think after another. Maybe if they bad an eleven o'clock convocation every day of the week, there wouldn't be quite the traffic Jam about the campus at the noon hour. Dogs In the library cause just about as much excitement as when someone with an N" sweater walks In. ANOTHER POINT OF MEW In submitting hla budget Gover nor Weaver did not give the Uni versity all the Doaid of Kegenta' asked for. He recommended prac tically nothing for new building but did i aim- the funds for mainte nance a little. The obty phylca! extension of the campus contem plated In Governor Weaver's bud get wan the erertlon of one wing of a dormitory at a coat of 80.Xo and the purcjinne of aoine land near the campus for future exien slon. The visit of the members of the finance committee to tho proposed lies for the new hentlnjr plant sug gests that they will add another item to the Uuivcrsliy's appropri ation amounting to $.115,000. That would be the University's hhare of the contemplated hnating plant. Aside from the fact tliat a heating plant is a necessary extension it will alno provide a better labora tory for engineering students. banks-Morse a monopoly on aale of electric equipment. Others talked of power trusts. The senators from districts where the power plants are municipally owned were all hot" for the bill. Where the power plant aie piUalely owned and therefore paying state taxes the senators were "not so hot" SO ITS COME TO THIS When the highest honor which can be accorded to a senior man falls into politics for Its awarding. It Is high time that something be done. Political suasion was used Wednesday by cer tain persona wbo desired that a particular individual be accorded enough votes to make him senior cane bearer. It may have had effect The votes have not been counted as this is written. Campus politics Is fun (or are fun, if you like that better.) More downright sport can be had in a spring political campaign than almost anywhere else. But polities haa Us place then; in an election to an honorary office It is best left outside. The man who cannot stand alone, on his merits, in a contest for an honor such as cane bearer is not deserving of that honor. Silver and Gold YALE AND CALIFORNIA ARC DIFFERENT At Vale, news dispatches say. It took two burly campus cops to eject a sleeping student from a class room; at California such a small force might be embarrassed If It attempted to clear almost any 8 o'clock class of sleepers there are so many of them. The drastic method used at Yale indicates that the somnambulant student Is probably an exception. Perhaps It follows that at California the situation is serious enough to warrant an Investigation by the scientific experts of the Berkeley police force. A few flying ejections out the front doors of Wheeler hall would serve to emphaslte the businesslike na ture of college classes. But it would be a sad blow to those wbo came to college for "contacts." Daily California University landscape gardeners are going right ahead with their work to provide a beautiful cam pus for a group of students who are admittedly pagan, use rotten English, use profanity profusely, and are generally Incompetent to be called cultural beings. Craven's idea must be to provide good ex ternal appearances irrespective of internal discrep ancies.

Daily ONE VIEW Interpretation branches la every possible direc tion following an address such as that delivered by Dr. E. Stanley Jones before aa all-Unlverslty convo cation yesterday morning. It touches life, it touches religion, it touches business, it touches students, it touches all mankind. Appealing to the young maa and woman la the task of absorbing all that a college or university " B.&S to offer, of preparing oneself for the duty of venturing out Into the rays of public affairs, was one fleeting idea that spells happiness and success to mankind. It was the philosophy of crumbling achievement It was the principle that man cannot capitalize upon the accomplishments ef the past, th- battles that hare been won, or the reputation for doing things well In the past It was the phil ooophy tbat contended that individual t.fert was woven into the pattern that all humanity weaves. It was a forward looking philosophy, ' granting that achievement was admirable, though not satis fying. It stressed the withering nature of accom plishment when it is taken as the .final step in the quest for reality aad life. Maa atiaias a certain pre conceived end, he halts in the charge, and the goal wtiica he has reached slips mysteriously from be neath his feet lie must be forever looking down the road. In the understanding of the student, the phil osophy means simply tnat once free from the tram tnela of college, men and women must face the world bare-haaded, without contentment and aatls laction over accomplishments ef the past It sneaaa that life consists of a aeries of aceemyliahrweata tbe greatest of which is always a atep ahead af attainment Tbe fallacy of aeU-expreaaioa aa the secret af Ufa Is tbe product of this attitude toward atuia-m-t Individual condoct touches ethers.

Uichipam Daily nd 1 11 The Omaha Bee-News, having succeeded In convening Omaha in to a Holy City, Is now earnestly en gaged in exposing the cheap mate rial, wide cracks, the extravagant paintings and alleged fraud In the construction of the "architectural contribution of the ape." These "news" stories have brought result In the legislature and a new motion to investigate was Introduced in the senate Monday replacing an earlier one. The state of Nebraska would lend Its security to a proposed loan if house roll 587 passes. This bill, rec ommended by Governor Weaver, authorizes the Mate fair board to borrow $259,000 tor the erection of a grandstand at the state fair grounds. The queer part of it is that the board already has that power. They merely a.-k for the moral support of the legislature. It was pointed out that a loan could be obtained by 1 percent lets inter est if the legislature lends it moral support House roll t.M would ordain that six days shall r work but on the seventh day v shall not. This bill was duly exe uted in the House on Monday. The introducer, Mr. Kehm, said that he was trying lo protect the poor filling station boys who work 11 to 13 hours a day for sev en days a week. The hiil would be applicable only to tho-e who work more than 54 hours a w-ek. The farmers in the House killed the measure. If the housewives could have been there they might al.o have had something lo say. Th House, Tuesday afternoon, debated with great gusto a bill aimed at permitting school board members hiring their relatives as school teachers. The bill, which was advanced in the committee of the whole, provides that when flies j board is electing a relative of any board the board member shall not DEAN L. A. SHERMAN IS QUEST OF HONOR AT UNIVERSITY CLUB nttnf4 m rwea I. voted in 1S9? to Koscoe Pouud, and In 1NS8 to Frederic E. Clements and Albet L. Candy. When Dean Edgren withdrew In 1901 to take up work on tbe Nobel prlxe commission In Stockholm, IH-an L. A. Sherman was ap llutcd as his successor. In 190 ou amendment of tho charter, the school became the graduate col lege. In 1926 Dean Sherman re signed and Dean H. G. James of the College of Arts and Sciences succeeded to the position.

He came aa professor of Sanscrit and modern languages, and later be came bead of the department of romance languages. He was a graduate of the Royal Military academy of Sweden In 1860. Many Degrees Are Given Many atudents who have achieved unusual distinction, re ceived advanced degrees from the graduate college during the twen ty five years that Dr. Shermaan t-erved as graduate dean. Among these are Dean C. E. Bessy, whose, students in botany are found in all parts of the world; Dr. D. B. Drace, head of the physics depart-j ment; Dean EUery T. Davis of the! College of Arts and Sciences. w hose mathematical knowledge liaj world-wide recoignation; Prof. Lawrence Bruner, whose know ledge of Insect life brought him i many offers from foreign coun tries to study plant pests. Profes sor Bruner Is now living in Califor nia, having spent some time In a South American study. The degree of doctor of philo sophy has been granted to ninety five persons, including sixteen women. In this period 1.176 de grees of master of arts were granted. Homer L. Shantx, who was recently railed to the presi dency of the University of Arizona, took his Th.D. in botany under Dr. Bessey. Dr. Sherman's resignation Is to take effect September 1, 1930, after a year's sabbatical leave. The guests at the dinner In his honor will include the members of the board of regents and their wives, as well as those members of the faculty who have been here for twenty-five or more years. Invita tions have also been sent to the f sons. Lucius W. Sherman, of Ta eoma. Wash., and Hoarce W. of Chicago, and the daughter, W1nl-i fred Sherman Updike of Omaha. Dr. Sherman is antedated by J.
