For according to Miss Mabel Lee, professor of physical education for women at the University of Nebraska mid newly elected president of the American Physical Education asNocinl ion, there is a definite connection between beets and health. Studies made by Miss Lee of entering students at the Univer sity of Nebraska last year showed that but 10.3 percent of the girls were wearing shoes correct for foot health, while 82 percent of them were wearing either ques tionable shoes or shoes considered absolutely incorrect. The same studies showed that more than 80 percent of these girls had some degree of arch trouble. High heels were the main source of trouble, according to the study, causing backache as well aa arch troubles. Of those reporting backaches. 88.8 percent wore high heels. Otber foot troubles were caused by ill fitting shoes and run-down shoes. Flat heeled shoes are considered by Miss Lee as proper foot garb. Posture Related to Heels. . Posture and heels seem to be closely related, according to fig urea supplied by Miss Lee. She found that but 10 percent of the catering women bad a good pos ture, practically the same per centage M wore correct shoes; 44 English Author's Sofa la Found and Placed in Museum a manogany sofa, found a short time ago, brings to Ne braska's museum a memory of the Bronte family, English authors noted for the melan cholia. The finding of the sofa and its history were described by Fred erick Collins, curator of the uni versity museum, in his regular weekly radio broadcast Thursday. The sofa originally belonged to Patrick Bronte, pastor-poet of the early nineteenth century, Curator Collins related. Bronte gained his short lived distinction through his fanaticism, but his children, the Innocent victims of his vicious whims and fancies used their lives to bring lasting fame to the family. One daughter, Emily Bronte, wrote the noted story, "Wither ing Heights," and another, Char lotte Bronte, wrote "Jane Eyre," under the pen name Currer Bell. The background for these stories was an isolated monastery. To day this monastery, on the edge of the bleak Yorkshire moorland near Haworth, is a mecca for tourists.

In 61 per cent of the cases the posture de fect was spinal, indicating a rela tion to the heels. At the close of the year's work further studies were made of those girls who had taken special gym nastic work to correct their de fects and it was found that 124 out of the 125 girls with poor pos ture who took this work had im proved their condition, while 36 of the 64 individual cases of poor foot conditions had been improved. Study Individual Needs. "Work with feet is but one phase of our work here," re marked Miss Lee recently. "Our work in physical education for women is more than just lining up a group of girls and giving them Indian club and dumbbell drills or Swedish calisthenics. We recog nize the individual and her needs and as far as possible offer work to meet these needs of the wide variety of student types." YELLOW JACKETS DEFEND mm OF Gomon Answers Charges of Delphian Nash About Class Officers. VOTING DATE IS FEB. 17 Party Believes Minority Group Should Run Best Men. Answering Delphian Nash, pres ident of the barb faction who an nounced that his party would place no candidates up in the coming election because class, offices are foolish, Neal.S, Gomon, president of the Yellowjackets has issued a defense of class presidencies. Class heads, Gomon. asserts, are not powerless but may be a con structive element as ' shown by some of the work carried on by two of the presidents last semes ter. He believes that the Barb party by withdrawing from the race is merely admitting a lack of suitable material to place in the race. Competent presidents are necessary if the office is to be jus tified and he declares that it is the duty of a duty of a faction to se lect men who measure up to this standard. Presents Statement Gomon's official statement as drawn up from the Yellowjacket faction s standpoint, follows: "The Yellow Jacket political party will present candidates for class offices in the coming election and all elections in the future be cause: 1.

Expressing concurring beliefs to the effect that the CornhtiHker yearbook Is a valuahlp article for everv college student to nave espe dally after graduation. Chancellor R. A. Burnett and Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs, have issued litatements which give their opinion of the annual.

Only as many books are to be ordered aa are sold and there will be abso lutely no books on hand In the spring, according to John K. Sel leck, manager of the student ac tivities fund. Chancellor Issues Statement. Chancellor Burnett's statement which gives his views of the Corn husker's worth, follows: To the Student Body: In response to a request for a statement regarding the value of the annual publication, The Cornhuaker, I wish to say that a college yearbook Is a record of events and happenings in the lives of students at school. It Is an album which preserves the memories of their closest friends and acquaintances at school. As such it is useful and valuable, for it bestows not only a per sonal benefit but also provides a medium for giving parents and friends at home insight into uni versity life. The Cornhusker, I believe, performs these services in a competent manner. It should be of particular value to out-going seniors as it is really the last concrete records which many of tbem will have of their friends and college experiences, Very sincerely yours, . E. A. BURNETT. Chancellor. Thompson's Statement. Although Dean Thompson be lieves that students should use their money with discretion and believes they should make personal decisions in monetary affairs he has the following to say concern ing the value of a publication such ivonunueu on x-aga A.t , COED FOLLIES TO F F Show Sponsored by A.W.S.
