chance to meet girls of other races,
but also becomes more sympath
etic to their problems.
Three groups comprise the com
mission staffs which are divided
Into freshman, sophomore and up
perclass units. These are discus
sion groups, in which students
have a chance lo express them
selves on all types of problems,
social, political, and religious.
Girls who feel inclined toward
music, literature, and art will be
interested In the vesper staff and
choir. This staff, which is headed
by Dorothy Jensen, seeks to spread
an appreciation of art to a tech

hours."
The Industrial staff is sponsored
by Mildred Dole. Here economists
and sociologists d;lve into the
problems of the industrial world,

RULING OF KLUB
CAUSES PROTEST
BY LAW COLLEGE
(Continued from page one.)
the engineering college had a can
didate, Miss Bartos, in the field for
an honorary position. Whether
they were unified enough in their
support to get her elected Is still
another issue. By their own ad
mission the engineers concede that
they are far less organized for
matters of this sort than are the
law students. It is highly doubtful
if engineers were able to organize
thoroly enough to elect the candi
date from that college.
Partly thru its own negligence
and in part due to a misunder
standing of eligibility require
ments on the part of the regis
trar's office and one ol the girl
candidates, Kosmet Klub involved
itself Monday, in one of those pe
culiar things which might be called
a "muddle." It seems that they
permitted an ineligible student,
Miss Imogene Steinmeier of Ans
ley, a member of Alpha Chi Omega
and a fieshman law, to be an
nounced as an official candidate
for Nebraska sweetheart. Resul
tantly an intricate mixup ensued
which aroused law students in a
body of protest.
Negligence Shown.
The negligence of Kosmet Klub
consists of this:
When one of its own representa
tives checked eligibilities of candi
dates with the registrar, Saturday
morning, he forgot to ask the reg
istrar to check up on anything but
the grade rating. He neglected to
make it known to the eligibility
checker that senior girls, i. e.
girls with over eighty-nine credit
hours were not eligible for the
position this year.
Th2 misunderstanding on the
part of the particular candidate is
this:
She" took it for granted that re
quirements were the same as in
former years and was not aware
of the new ruling, prohibiting sen
iors, which Kosmet Klub passed at
a meeting- last week.
Richard Devereaux. president of
Kosmet Klub, was out of town at
the time that filings were an
nounced and not until Sunday eve
ning did he discover the error
which had been made by one of the
members of his organization one
of those, incidentally, who helped
pass the new rule.
Monday the law college candi
date was informed of her ineligi
bility and Monday evening the law
college, speaking through the pres
idents of its respective classes,
protested. Later Monday evening
at 11 o'clock, Kosmet Klub held
a special meeting and decided to
stand by its ruling despite the
error which one of its members

Members of Alpha Sigma Phi plan construction of this new $55 ,000 home on their property at the
southwest corner of 16th and R st reet. Plans are being made by a building committee consisting of

had made. Still later Monday eve
ning, Miss Audrey Gregory, Has
tings, last year's Nebraska Sweet
heart, resigned as queen of King
Kosmefs court.
Explanation of Kosmet Klub's
refusal to -allow the candidate's
name to remain on the ballot
Tuesday, is given by Richard Dev
ereaux as follows:
"We decided to limit candidacies
for this position to sophomore and
junior girls for this reason: Other
honorary positions for girls, such
as honorary colonel which is lim
ited by ruling, and prom girl which
is limited by custom, go to sen
iors. In the Nebraska Sweetheart
we have decided to reserve some
thing for girls in other classes. For
that reason we withheld the law
college candidate's name, not be
cause of discrimination, but be
cause of our ruling against sen
iors, from the ballot."
Law students made their pro
test official last evening with the
dispatch of the following open let
ter signed by the presidents of the
respective law classes:
To Whom It May Concern:
In order that there be no mis
understanding the law college
wishes to state their position in
the controversy concerning the
election of the Nebraska Sweet
heart. The whole affair is rather
trivial. Who is Nebraska Sweet
heart is an unimportant matter,
both to her, the university, and
us. Our complaint has to do
with a matter of principle. We
object to any election which is
unfair, which is not conducted
to law and which is made a farce
by the domination of a small in
terested group of students.
In the past the Nebraska
Sweetheart has been representa
tive of the University of Ne
braska. Her candidacy was not
confined to any particular col
lege or group. She was chosen
from among all the girls on the
campus. Comes now an organ
ization and under the guise of a
rule of eligibility imposes a rul
ing which automatically elim
inates the law college from
actual participation in the elec
tion. Although the lawyers are
not deprived of their franchise,
the exercise of it is of no avail
as long as the nominations are
in the control of the small group
of interested students previously
mentioned. Under this new rul
ing the law college will be very
unlikely to have another candi
date as Nebraska Sweetheart, by
reason of the fact that most
freshmen law students have
three years of arts and science
work before entering this col
lege. By what authority was this
ruling passed ? We question the
right of any group or club to so
control what is supposed to be a
general university election, and
that is the sole reason for our
objection at this time.
If the Kosmet Klub feels that
it is their show and they want a
young lady representative of
them they should choose a Kos
met Sweetheart under any set of
rules they care to select. But if
the young lady they use in their
revue Is to represent the U of N
then she should be selected on
the general university standards.
The student body of the law
college spend six years In under
graduate work. No other group
spends longer, few as long. No
other group can be said to be
more loyal to Nebraska institu
tions. It is singular that a mem
ber of such a group would be in
eligible for any all University
office.
The reason advanced for this
new rule was that it would in
sure the return of the candidate
the next year to be Queen. That
this is entirely a false reason 1 s
too well demonstrated by the
case of Audrey Gregory.
Our objection is not that our
candidate was stricken from the
ballot but that the manner in
which it was done was improper
and unlawful. As a matter of
policy we must insist that Uni
versity politics, however petty
they may be, be conducted fairly
and squarely to all concerned.

Describes Carnegie Work.
The Carnegie institute, with
which Dr. Morley Is affiliated,' has
been at work on exploring, exca
vating and restoring specimens of
this Maya civilization since 1914.
Special emphasis has been placed
on the exploration and restoration
of Ohichen-Itza, said Dr. Morley,
because from indications it was the
most important and holiest city of
that ancient period.
He described In detail the ex
ploration and restoration of one of
the temples of Chichen-Itza the
Temple of Warriors, so named be
cause it contained stone pillars
which bore carvings resembling
warriors.
Work on the Temple of Warriors
has been in progress since 1925
and today it is partially restored.
He concluded his lecture with a
description of sacrificial offerings
which are found usually below the
altars in these ruined Maya tem
ples. He pointed to a specimen
which resembled a mosaic disc, ex
tremely intricate in design, and
composed of priceless turquoise.
The center of the mosaic was a
sand stone disc which, because of
its raritv in that area is believed
to have been valued higher by the
Maya neople than the turquoise,
Dr. Morley was introduced by
Prof. J. O. Hertzler, chairman of
the university committee on con
vocations, who explained that this
was the first of a series of con
vocations at which it was planned
to have speakers of distinction in
various fields of research.
