cheaper orchestras and decorations
for major parties in order to re
duce admission prices.
Have Definite Platforms.
Both factions, by committing
themselves to a more definite pro
gram than followed in former
years, have taken considerable re
sponsibility upon their shoulders.
Regardless of who wins the stu
dent body is apt to look for some
definite accomplishment and the
generation of this spirit should
give an added interest to the cam
paign. Candidates have now been nomi
nated by both factions and they
will be filed today at the Student
activities office, along with the
names of prom girl applicants.
Eligibilities are to be checked Sat
urrday morning and a list of of
fice aspirants will be announced
Sunday.
Barb Vote Important.
The numerical strength of the
Blue Shirt faction itself is greater
tnen that of the Yellowjackets.
While the latter group has usually
managed to emerge victorious with
one or two of the presidencies in
each election they were completely
shut out last fall when four Blue
Shirt candidates were swept into
office. At that time, however, the
barbs had candidates in each of
the four positions and this time
they have withdrawn. Where their
vote falls will naturally effect the
results of the election consider
ably. SPIRIT MOUNTS

Win Means Pennant.
Fo Nebraska to win Saturday

cinch the Big Six pennant. A de
feat would send her into a tie for
the top position with Kansas arpd,
with Kansas Aggies, Iowa State

would still leave a possibility of
coming out on top of the heap.
Nebraska's season has been
characterized by a phenomenal
rise to championship quality team
after five defeats in their- first

ference game, Nebraska struck a
winning stride which she has
maintained in every game except

Revolutions which have over
turned the previously existing
governments in aeverai soum
American countries during the
last year are seen by Dr. How
ard as the direct outcome of this
economic crisis. America has
shut out the South American
agricultural products by tariff
walls. Europe has almost en
tirely ceased buying. The result
has. been dire hard times. When
you get such a large number of
people dissatisfied, it Isn't diffi
cult to start something.
Howard Accompanies Roosevelt.
When Mr. Roosevelt made his
trip to South America in 1813,
Dr. Howard was chosen as his
interpreter and it was through
him that Mr. Roosevelt tnade his
speeches which did bo much in
making for better relations be
tween the two continents of the
western world.
Mr. Roosevelt's visit was, of
course, unofficial. He was no
longer president of the United
States. He went to South Amer
ica principally to explore some of
the jungle regions of Brazil. It
was inevitable, however, for o
great an American figure to go
to South America without doing
a good deal of speaking.
Roosevelt Speaks.
In his speeches to the South
Americans Roosevelt, however,
steered clear of definite current
questions, related Dr. Howard. He
chose to speak of the ' broader
things of political theory. He
emphasized the noble and high
ideals in government. He stressed
the need of private integrity to
insure a good public official.
This was at that time a new
doctrine to South America where
a nublic official's private life was
nobody's business. This gave the
South American a different picture
of the United States than that of
a nation , of dollar worshipper.
Today the relations of the two
western continents are not settled.
At present both, probably South
America the more severely, re
suffering from a difficult economic
situation. The feelings of South
America toward the United States
is one of mixed good will and ani
mosity. United States end Europe
are competing for the South
American trade. United States is
handicapped because of the addi
tional ill feeling produced by her
tariffs against agricultural prod
ucts. The United States, Mr. How
ard believes, is feeling the unwel
come results of her tariff policy.

training to receive revenue un
der the Morrill (land grant) act,
' the Student council of the Uni
versity of Nebraska has con
sidered the advisability of the
compulsory feature in the mili
tary course of the university.
By a majority of 17 to 3 (three
women not voting) the Student
council passed a motion favor
ing the abolition of the compul
sory feature, giving underclaas
men the privilege of choosing
between physical education and
education and military science.
"Delegated by the Student
council to present that body's
views to the proper University
auhorities, we cite the following
for our action:
1. Many students who are dis
interested in military science re
ceive no significant training for
military service from the basic
course. Tbie students mieht be
spending their time more profit
ably in pnysicai eaucaura
classes where they would be pre
paring themselves physically for
either war or peace.
J. The presence of these dis
interested snd milly antagonis
tic students hinders the instruc
tion of those who are concerned
with military training. In this
way the compulsory feature re
duces the effectiveness of the
basic course.
J. The physical training pro
vided in the present basic
courses is not only useless from
a health standpoint but leading
army men and physical educa
tion experts have pronounced it
injurious. Consequently it should
not be accepted as a substitute
for a comprehensive physical
education program. Those stu
dents who choose should be al
lowed to use their time for phy
sical training.
4. Compulsory military train
ing tends to impress all univer
sity atudenta with the inevitabil
ity and the logic of war as a
means of settling international
dispute.
5. The basic military course
does not make sufficient educa
tional or cultural contribution to
be required of all men students
at the University of Nebraska.

King Winter No Longer Holds Sway :
In Nebraska Says Weatherman Blair
By MARVIN 8CHMIO.
If the winters in Nebraska con
tinue to arrow warmer in succeed
ing years at an equal rate to this
one compared to last year, it ap
parently won't be long until the
university beating system will be
eliminated, fur coats will be a
thing of the past, students of the
agricultural college will be rais
ing bananas instead of live stock,
and Californlans will make Ne
braska their winter home.
For it now appears that the
three winter months, December,
January and February of 1930-31
will break all previous high tern
perature records. This month
need only continue to run an aver
age temperature In its remaining
six days not lower than that of
the first 22, and this new high rec
ord shall be established, according
to T. A. Blair, meteorologist.
Average Is Lower.
The average temperature for
