AT AD CLUB MEETING Uni Professor Comments On Use and Results Of Advertising. 4 Professor F. C. Blood, professor of advertising and sales manage ment at the University of Ne braska, spoke before the Lincoln Ad club at their meeting Monday noon, analyzing the value of adver tising. He explained that the average reader of a newspaper looks for advertisements as much as he does for news, and that about ninety six percent of the readers are bar 4 gain hunting. Only about one per cent of the readers omit the ad vertisements entirely. Professor Blood stated that the more frequently a merchant ad vertises, the better result he gets, other things being equal. The reg ular and co sUuit advertiser builds jp a habit in the reader of looking for his announcement every day. He expressed the opinion that radio publicity exercises an influ ence chiefly among the people al ready accustomed to buying .brougn mall order bouses. Proportional Representation Plan 1. The purpose of this amendment is to set up a system of propor tional representation for the election of members to the Student council. 2. The Student council is empowered to set forth requirements for the recognition of student parties or factions. No party or fac tion shall have the right to file candidates until so recognized by the Stuednt council. 3. Each party or faction shall file a libt of its candidates for mem bership to the Student council in the Student Activities office on the Friday prior to the day of the election, such lists to be made up In their respective caucuses. 4. The ballots containing the names of the several candidates for office shall also contain the names of their respective parties or factions. 5. There shall be given to each qualified student voter a separate ballot which shall contain the names of the various parties or factions which have been permitted to file candidates for office. Each student voter shall be privileged to designate, on this party faction ballot, his party preference. 6. The ratio of representation is one sent for each 125 vote. The strength of each faction shall be determined by the number of those who have designated their preference for that party on the party ballot slip. 7. After the results of the election as they are now held are com puted, the representation in the Student council shall be appor tioned as follows: (1) The representation of any party shall be raised, if in the election that party has received less than one member for each 125 votes cast for it, to bring the representation of that party up to the ratio of one seat for each 125 votes cast. (J) When the representation of any party is so raised, those of its candidates la the election who have received the high est number of votes shall be declared elected to the council. (For example, if a party is entitled to two additional place, its two highest unsuccessful candidates in the election shai: be made members of the council.) (1) If any party shall secure, in the election, more than one place to each 125 votes cast in Its favor, then that party shall be entitled to the advantage so secured. 9. In afl cases, a major fraction of 125 shall constitute a unit of representation. "Nothing this amendment shall be construed to deprive any stu dent of the right to file as an independent candidate.

FELLMANS PLAN E BY ALL FACTIONS Fate of Proportional Idea Rests With Outcome Of Election. BARB COUNCIL IN FAVOR Author Says Scheme Won't Entail Complicated Machinery. Having received the approval of tvery representative group on the campus, David l-'-lttuun' plan of proportional rpi esontation for the Student Council goes before the student body today for final ap probation. On Jan. 22. the Student council passed favorably on the scheme, and the faculty committee on stu dent activities gave it provisional sanction, at its regular meeting last Wednesday. Both the Blue Shirt and Yellow Jacket tactions voiced their endorsement of the plan in caucuses last week. Like wise, the Barb council baa given the measure favorable comment. Both Deans Favor Plan. Both Dean T. J. Thompson and Dean Amanda Heppncr have stated their commendation of the plan in the faculty committee on student activities. Contrary to popular conception of the plan, Fellman states that the plan is quite simple, and will not entail any complicated ma chinery for Its operation. The en tire text of the plan can be found elsewhere in this paper. With the present arrangement, the plan is not permanent, and will receive its test in the spring election should it be passed today. The approval of the faculty com mittee was provisional, and will givo its final consent after the tipring election. Should it pass this final hurdle, the plan will be a permanent fixture in Nebraska's Student council constitution. College Representation Remains. College representation on the Student council will not be altered from the present system, and will afford the Barb faction its first real opportunity for representa ( Continued on Page 2.)

FOSSIL REMAINS OF RHINOCEROS IS GOING TO LONDON A fossil rhinoceros from Ne maska is now on its way to the British museum in London. Al though rhinoceroses are not found in North America now. but one must go to Africa and Asia to find Ihem today, yet in the days repre sented by the famous bed of bones at Agate, in Sioux County, they must have been here in great num bers, according to F. G. Collins, assistant curator of the museum. In the slab of the Agate bone bed on exhibition at the museum, there ate five jaw bones of the Rhino ceros. When these animals were living here, some of them seem to have migrated to Europe because their bones are found in parts of France, Collins said. A foanll skeleton of a rhinoceros was mounted in Mor rill in 1928. STUDIO DATES. 0 I ucio.i rcu. io. v i r- -u id Cornhusker staff. 12 o'clock. Engineering Executive board. 12:15.

Leland, wife of the Presbyterian student pastor, in a discussion of the exhibits of the Nebraska Art association shown at Morrill hall, Sunday, stressed the color used in art, say ing that the term "color" does not denote purity or intensity espec ially, but might represent the sub tle graduations in such cooler tones as grays and browns. Her discussion began with "The Marvin Family" by James Chapin, said to be the most spectacular picture in the gallery. In this pic ture, she explained, Chapin was able to create beauty through common and homely characters and surroundings, being most ap parent when one notes the pic tures juxtaposed.

SUIT FILED IN COURT Case Is Intended to Test Governor's Power Of Veto. An original bill has been filed in the supreme court by Winfield M. Elmen, to test the validity of Governor Weaver's veto of items totaling $400,000. A suit which had been introduced in district court and in which the University of Nebraska was intervenor has been dismissed. Included in the Items vetoed by the Governor is support ot the university. The veto Cuts the items to the amounts recommended by the governor In his budget. The suit is to obtain an interpretation of apparently conflicting sections of the state constitution, one pro viding that the gocrnor has au thority to veto separate items In an appropriation bill and a later provision prohibiting tho governor from vetoing appropriations in excess of his budget recommenda tions if the bill passes by a three fifths vote of earn house. Dr. Avery 'Gels Kick' From Making Research on New Organic Compounds 8 Margaret Tinlcy. "I get," said Dr. Samuel Avery yesterday, "more kick out of mak ing a new organic compound, Improving methods of organic anaiyais, than those things we do for pleasure which are usually con sidered hobics." Dr. Avery, who is profsuor oi rese trch in chemistry and ;uanc. i lor t-mentus of the un.veis.ty of Nebraska, says that he is tHi.r.i larly fortunate because his urn versiti work now corresponds w.th his hot by, which is douit, original research work in organic chem istry. Scientific as they sound, "or ganic compounds,'' which chemists technically explain 83 " carbon compounds." are among the most inter ebting chemical mixtures known. "For many years," Dr. Avery explained, "cotton was oniy cotton. Then is was nitrated in a certain way and found to be ex plosive and called 'gun cotton.' Discusses Chemical Process. Cotton nitrated in a certain wy and dissolved in alcohol and either became collodion, which is so important in photography; then camphor is added to collodion and, presto chango: collodion Dccomcs celluloit! and celluloid -an become many .things pen, dolls, lamp oti.m; to ni: ikc.ui:i) lying was tho main number on me program. House-to-house canvas Bine ot soronty row was the spec iality ot the fraternity politic -the blue sliiits and the yellow Jackets thereby trying to get one of the strongest determining factors in L'nivorsity of Nebraska elections: The sorority vote. Barbs Unorganized. The barbs, unorganized and scattered m they are, hsva had to content themselves with rather extended methods ot campa.grung. ihey haa no premeditated scheme outlined to get their clientele to gcthtr. so they are awaiting the outcome at the polls with the ex pectation that anything might nappen. Regardless o' the diverse points of view said to be possessed by the three political tribes, tbey at least have come together on two points. First, they believe that today's election, aside from tho proportional representation plan oeing decided upon, is relai.vcly unuiiportant. Ihey are poiu...ij for it only because they wish to test their comparative strength at the ballot box. At the last election, similar to -ne one being held today, wheu .iuss presidents and an nonorary colonel were selected, a total of i.740 votes were cast. Of these, the blue shirts had the most wan ihe exception of the fresuman ciajs president, who was chosen irom among the yellow jackets. Blue Shirts Usually Strong. The average nuraoer of ballots cast for blue shirt candidates ia.t tail was 212. The yellow jacneis were able to amass enough votes to have an average of lhO, while the barbs were trailing with an average of 47. None of th barh candidates was elected. The second point on which the three - segments have been able to mesh is the proportional repre sentation plan. All have given out word through their respective leaders that the respective groups will give the plan solid backing on the ballot today. To assist the student voter in understanding what the new system entails, a copy of the original plan as drawn up by David Fellman appears else where in this issue of The Ne braskan. In their Monday evening t.arcu for votes, the blue shirts divided the sorority populace into three groups under the direction of three committees. Stanley Day, presi dent of the faction. Don Carlson tnd Jimmy Williams were at the helm of the three committees. Canvass Sororities. Every sorority on the campus was visited by the blue shirts dur ing the dinner hour, according to reports. The women "balloteers" were given a list of the blue shirt candidates together with a resume of the party's platform all orally, the spokesmen being different ca-h time. Two factors were stressed oy the committees: First, the blue hhirt faction's approbation of the Fellman plan: second, the party's announcement of fort hcoming minor class elections sometime within the next few weeks, thereby giving the sororities a chance to jrrit some of their members to the front at that time.
