Students used to come to class early so they could find a place to park their ears. Now they come late so they won't have to spend so much time deciding which place to take. SOCIETY 10 A scientist has found that it is a custom in some parts of the world to eat clay and various other soils. Perhaps this will help fraternity men to explain some of the things they have been getting. Miss (ieorpa Wilcox, Chi Omega, Seottsbluff, daughter of Mr, mid Mrs. li. L Wilcox, was married to Ivobert Uill, Kappa Sigma, Poanoke, Va Mn of Mr. and Mrs. I. L. (till Tuesday at 4 o'clock at her borne in Seottsbluff. The Nov. Kay Springer of the Methodist hp.seopal church periormed the ceremony which was attemk-d by members of the immediate family. There were no i tlemhnts. Tin br!ile wore a blue velvet o dtniT dress filled at the waist, The University of Wisconsin Daily Cardinal in a column entitled "College Oddities" slates that the University-of Nebraska has an "N" stamp sale. What is an oddity to them is merely a tradition on this campus. MeMBERp I J tar This iwper is rmtenud for f.n.ri adTcrtiaim by The Nebraska Frees Aasociatioa. Fixing the General Aim. Somewhat out of the usual order of 1 lungs, a new editor assumes his position after the editorial shoos have already been warmed by his predecessor. lie takes over his duties after things have been set in motion. Perhaps The Nebraskan readers are interested in what will happen to the policies already promulgated. Some, no doubt, are anxious to see a change, others wish a continuance of the past policies, especially the economy program. The fact that the new editor has been taken from outside of the regular staff of The Ne braskan may be an added cause for the reader to take note of what things The Nebraskan will advocate. The tasks of editorship are as a rule assigned to the journalist who carries on according to the established conventions of his profession. It should not be surprising, then, if matters arc not presented in the ortho dox manner. Problems that have always perplexed stu dent editors will be disposed of as they appear. To outline a program for the remainder of the semester would be an act as meaningless as a political faction platform. Altho the well known bridges may he vieivcd off in the dis tance, they cannot be crossed until they arc at hand. To reflect the student opinion, to give rise to constructive thought on the part of the stu dents, and to bring about a higher regard for the university and its purposes by the students rml the public, shall be the general aim of this newspaper. Some folks go to school because they can't find any work. Others go to school so they won't have to work. These Eligibility Rules for Popularity. Who shall be eligible for Nebraska Sweet heart! seems to be the theme song of many a heated argument at present. Kosmct Klub, the organization fostering the election and pre sentation of the sweetheart, has stirred up con siderable excitement by making an eligibility rule specifying that this sweetheart must be either a sophomore or a junior in the univer sity. Those aspirants for the honor who have over eighty-nine credit hours, according to the new ruling, are ineligible. Law students, and perhaps several others, have declared their disapproval of this ruling. As a result of one of the candidates, a law student, being thrown out of the race, the reigning queen of the Kosmet court has re signed her position. It is her contention, and also the opinion of those objecting to the eligi bility rule, that the Nebraska Sweetheart eould not be a representative of the university if such a restriction were to be placed upon the candidates. They feel that "the honor has lost its significance." The Kosmet Klub presents its views in this morning's columns. Its object in making the eligibility rule was to put all candidates on an equal basis. Obviously one who has been in school three years has had more oportunity 10 become popular and well known about the cam pus than one in school only two years, and four years of college would be more advan tageous than three years. Kosmet Klub states further that it is their intention to open up a sweetheart field for underclass women just as honorary colonel and prom girl are usually con sidered senior girls' honors. The question is, should the Nebraska Sweet heart be a member of the sophomore or junior classes, or should she be picked from all classes, and all colleges. The sweetheart of one year is the queen of the following year, so it. is necessary that, someone be procured for the position who is likely to return the following year and be the queen. If some seniors are In be barred why not all foiyth year students? Hut some fourth year students return for a fifth year, depending upon their courses. So I he Kosmet Klub gets itself into difficulties. A truly representative sweetheart would 1'igically be picked from the entire body of women students, but. quite obviously, .some women must be barred because they will grad uate. If some women are to be barred, it is again obivous that the entire university is not represented by 1he sweetheart. If the entire university is not represented by the sweet heart, then what difference will it make to exclude a few more women and put each one on an equal basis as far as opportunity for gaining popularity, is concerned. There are two sides to the question, as there are to every question. It is true that Kosmet Klub fosters the Nebraska Sweetheart tradi tion. They make the eligibility rules, and have complete charge of the presentation and all matters pertaining to the sweetheart. They could so handle the affair, if they chose to do so, that it would soon become n meauinyless thing. They have chosen to do otherwise. They have kept up the interest in the sweetheart even to the degree that it is vigorously fought over, not only women students but men enter- MORNING MAIL Sweetheart columns of regret thr.t Expressing Regret. TO THK KOI TOR : In regards to the Nebraska affair the Kosmet Klub, thru the the paper, wishes to express ils complications have arisen tind also wish to ac cept part of lhc blame for r.Ilou ing the ineligi ble candidate's name and picture to appear, as well as failure to inform the registrar of the new eligibilitv rule of the Kosmet Klub. However, there is another viewpoint on the situation. Kosmet Klub feels that neces.-.nry publicity on the new eligibility rule had been given thru the news columns of The Daily Nebraskan. At the same time that filings for sweetheart were called for and in the same story the eligibility rule was given-space. Fol lowing issues of Nebraskans also carried stories on the rule. It is with no direct affront to the law college that we made this rule. The rule was passed for only one reason primarily. We firmly be lieve that a junior or sophomore girl should be the Nebraska Sweetheart. It has been a cus tom generally for senior girls to be considered for honorary colonel and prom girl and Kosmet Klub wishes to leave a field for underclass women. We do not consider it justice to allow a freshman girl in law to file for this office when we do not permit seniors in the other colleges on the campus to file. We feel that such girls have the opportunity in their sopho more and junior years for this honor. AVc arc not taking the voting privilege away from any man student on the campus. Kosmet Klub extends its sympathy to Imo gene Steinmeier in this regrettable incident and also regrets that Audrey Gregory saw fit to resign her honorary position, because we feel that it will not better the situation.

Mr. Wolfram is from Lamda chapter at Madison, Wis. Sold Out. TO THE EDITOR: Again the dear student body is sold out, booked, frigged, and other expressions mean ing that they've had a dirty deal. The an nouncement of the dollar games for the rest of the season coupled with cheap general ad mission prices leaves the student that bought a book for the season holding the good, old-fashioned sack. Yes, yes, I know that it was done to aid the other student that couldn't afford the book, and I know that this dollar a game won't give the holder a chance to view "Ne braska basketball, track, wrestling, swimming, and baseball, at no additional cost" (see back cover of season ticket if you were a sucker, too). My great protest is this ... 1 bought a ticket at $9.00 normally expecting that a price would be maintained thruout the season in keeping with this ... at the same lime I knew that because of my hours of work 1 could see only the football games, and 1 thought that it was cheaper to buy the season ticket than pay the full price of the games. Under the new policy, then two games have cost me $6.00 and I'll be a cock-eyed coyote if I think that is fair. My school patriotism is all right, if the school is no Judas, but I was never worse sold out in my life and I will never be again . . . not by John K. Selleek. . . . Why can't I get a rebate? I can only see the football games . . . yet there is no provision for this type of student at the beginning of the year. There are some who compare this to a sudden change in the stock market but the anology is faulty. I think. The market is sup posed to fluctuate and this is known in ad vance. Again it is compared with a drop in anv cornmoditv : I believe this also in error, for no worthwhil lete pattern, or obsolete manufacture, will sud denly reduce its price 1o one-third of its former value. I think the move is beneficial 1o those who could not afford the tickets in the first place, but it is certainly a sore spot to those Mho could barely get the money together, but man aged to do so. ... I never will again without a guarantee that the price won't be lowered, and few other thinking Nebraska students will take anv other stand. I. PROTEST.

The Japanese government will no longer oppose th participation of the United States in the sessions of th? League of Nations council. This is the first definite step to ward the solution of the Sino Japanese controversy in Manchur ia. It is beilieved in official cir cles that the opposition of Japan was due to a misunderstanding of the status of Prentiss B. Gilvert, American consul general at Gen eva who is sitting with the league council. In the opinion of some writers, Japan wished the United States to arbitrate the dispute as Roosevelt arbitrated the Russio-Japanese dispute. The co-operation of the United States with the league, however, should bring about a mote definite and lasting solution commodity, unless of an obso- to the problem. Optimistic reports .1 n . , that Vi rt fVt,r,AttA 1 1 u ill uciicta nay luah me v .1.. and Japanese envoys are showing a more amenable attitude toward one another, and it is believed and hoped that all nations will see fit to co-operate, and bring about permanent peace between these two great oriental nations, and furthermore lay a sound founda tion for the World Disarmament conference of 1932. NEWSPAPER TALK Other Men's Ideas. The word "education" is in popular usage losing whatever content, it once had. In the missionary attempt to educate everybody lhc word has come to mean everything and noth ing. Almost everything passes for education in this republic. The public, is soid to education. School at tendance is made compulsory; every town and city takes pride in the display of expensive modern school buildings. Colleges are crowded with young people, many of whom will not or can not apply their minds to study. Over 2,000.000 adults in America are now enrolled for correspondence courses, evening classes, lecture courses. Almost everybody is ashamed to appear ignorant. Yet there is little or no respect for scholar, ship. The prevailing cult of "low-browism " regards with contempt the convictions of the educated minority. Everett Dean Martin, in The Thinker.
