Seek Duties for Class
Heads.
ONE OF PARTIES MISSING
Barbs Have Not Responded
To Action Proposed by
Blue Shirts.
By THE OBSERVER.
Definite plans toward endowing
class offices with regular duties
will be laid tomorrow afternoon
when representatives of the Blue
Shirts and Yellow Jackets, major
political factions, confer on this
score.
Action to make the post of class
i president a position worthy or coa
tinuation as a campus tradition is
the result of a co-operation move
ment between the two fraternity
factions.
- Last spring complete abolition
of class offices, because they were
positions unworthy of perpetua
tion, was urged by the Yellow
Jacket and Barb factions, both of
whom refused to file nominees in
the fall election. They again re
fused to present a slate at the sec
ond semester election a few weeks
ago. At that time William Dever
eaux, new Blue Shirt president,
proposed a conference of the two
groups toward ine ena or esiaD-
lishing a group of 'duty recom
mendations' for class offices, to be
presented to the Student council.
Proposal Welcomed.
Dcveieaux's proposal was heart
ily welcomed by the Yellow Jacket
faction with the statement that it
would rather see class offices re
tained If proper duties could be de
vised. No statement as to the sen
timent of the Barb faction has
been forthcoming of late.
The Blue Shirt faction will be
represented at Monday's confer
ence by President William uever
eaux and one other delegate to be
selected by him. Otis Detrick, Yel
low Jacket president, and Jack
Erickson, faction secretary, will
represent the minority faction.
If the complete set of recom
mendations for the offices of class
presidents Is completed Monday
afternoon they will be submitted
to the Student council at its Wed
nesday meeting. Should the two
. factions fail to complete their
recommendations they will con
tinue work on them and present
them to the Student council two
weeks later, it is reported.
Commenting on the conference,
Edwin Faulkner, president of the
Student council, said that that
body would gladly consider any
proposals for endowing class of
fices with regular duties.

Municipal Judge Says Serious Law
Violations by Students Are Almost
Unknown; Speeding Main Offense
Magistrate Favors Giving
Wrongdoers Chance to
Make Good.
By Cliff Sandahl.
University of Nebraska students
are living in a fast age!
This "astounding" revelation was
made Saturday by Municial Judge
Li. Polk, commenting upon the
type of student cases coming be
fore him during his first four
years on the bench.
"Of the students brought before
me, automobile speeders clearly
are in tho majority," the judge
said. "In fact, felonies among stu
dents are unknown, most of the
cases being for traffic violations.
Liquor violations have been so
few as to be negligible."
Percentage of "crime" among
students in proportion to the rest
of the city's population is "exceed
ingly small," Judge Polk asserted.
"If it were not that students are
always in a hurry trying to keep
up with this socalled fast age, we
would hardly know they are
around, at least from a judicial
standpoint," he added.
The judge, himself a Cornhus
ker alumnus, believes In giving
the students "no more nor no less
consideration in meting out sen
tences than others who come be
fore him."
Gives Chance to Make Good.
"I do believe, however," he con
tinued, "that it is better to give a
young man a chance to make good
STUDENTS AT CORNELL
HAVE MAJORITY VOICE
Undergraduates More Than
Half of Members on
Athletic Board.
PRINCETON TELLS PLAN
Student comnrise more than
one-half of the membership of the
nthlotip hnarri of control at Cornell
university, according to a letter re
ceived recently Dy An won, cnair
man of the athletic relations com
mittee of the Student council.
There are approximately sixty
mnmhprs nn thp athletic council at
Cornell, and students, since the
founding of the council, have had
the majority of members. Student
members on the council are man
agers, assistant managers, and
captains of major sport teams.
They are members of the council
as long as they noia inese posi
tions.
The student representatives
have the same power as other
members of the council, each mem
ber having one vote. A graduate
manager presides over the coun
cil, and his vote is equal to any
other council member's vote.
Representation Beneficial.
"Student representation has
been beneficial in that student
nnlninn has been e-iven a voice in
athletic affairs. Also the students
have been granted a direct means
of aiding in Cornell's athletic pol
icy." the author of the letter
stated.
Three students, chosen by the
undergraduate council for a term

athletic board at Princeton. They
have equal voting ana discussion
powers with other members of the
hoard and are Influential in the
choice of coaches, schedules, and
other matters of athletic policy.
"As the undergraduates directly
nnrtirinate in athletics, their opin
ion bears consldarable weight. It is
important tnat tne representatives
be thoroughly representative," the
letter stated.

rather than lock him up with a
bunch of hard nosed yeggmen. The
contacts he will make in jail will
hurt him rather than help him, I
believe."
Asked what he thought of prohi
bition and its enforcement, Judge
Polk replied:
"The adoption of the eighteenth
amendment to the federal constitu
tion and the enactment of the Vol
stead act have furnished one of the
most perplexing problems that the
country has faced since the Civil
war. I will not say that the liquor
problem is potentially as difficult
a problem as that of slavery, but
the results of its attempted solu
tion portends several years of se
rious difficulty."
"One of the main reasons pro
hibition is so difficult of solution,"
the judge contended, "is because
there is not necessarily involved a
question of moral turpitude."
Not Like Other Wrongs.
"It is not universally considered
morally wrong to take a drink," he
continued. "For instance, the laws
against murder, robbery, larceny
and other offenses against the per
son carry in their violation a ques
tion of moral turpitude.
"There Is no question but that
the eighteenth amendment is vio
lated by persons who are other
wise law abiding citizens."
Judge Polk has no doubt that
the problem will eventually be
solved, "but when and how be

Social Ban Lited
At Wyoming School
After Two Months
The ban against all social events
at the University of Wyoming has
been lifted. It had been in effect
since the student strike last De
cember and was followed by the
formation of a code of ethics to
govern conduct at university func
tions. The ruling against the social af
fairs was the result of charges
made by A. G. Crane, president of
the university, that he had ob
served "objectional practices" In
parked automobiles. The student
body took exception to his state
ments and immediately called a
strike.
The strike lasted only twenty-
four hours, however, and since the
representative students and faculty
members have been trying to agree
on a method of alleviating the
"objectionable" conditions. After
deciding that no effort would be
marie to impose strict rules, the
representatives formulated a gen
eral policy. The policy included
recommendations that chaperons
be required for dances and auto
rides, tnat aoor men supervise
"exits and returns" during dances,
that floor committees should be re
sponsible for maintaining order at
social functions ana "tnat patrol
men be hired to investigate people
in parked automobiles."

FARMER FAIR PLANS
Committees Outline Work
At Luncheon Held to
Honor Advisors. -
PARADE
ABOLISHED
Plans for the 1932 Farmer's
Fair were announced Saturday
noon when the fair board held a
luncheon in the home economics
building on the Agricultural col
lege campus honoring prominent
Nebraska citizens who are acting
as an advisory board. The board,
composed of some seventy people,
will assist in the production of a
pageant which will feature the fair
this year.
Manager Fred Meredith of St.
Edward outlined the plans of the
senior fair board for the coming
event. He said the 1932 fair will
feature educational entertainment.
Many of the attractions of former
years are being eliminated this
year in an attempt to hold a mor;
successful educational exposition.
Despite the fact that the down
town parade has been one of the
most popular features of the an
nual show, it will not be held this
year. Manage Meredith, speaking
in behalf of the board, declared
that the parade has proven to be
too costly in past years and for
this reason and others it is being
eliminated this year. Other fea
tures, however, will make up for
its loss.
In addition the 1932 Farmer's
Fair will feature the pageant which
is entitled, "The Progress of the
Prairie." Prof. R. D. Scott of the
English department, is directing
the production of the pageant. A

W. T. Fenton Says Youth
Today Better in Some
Ways Than Others.
By Howard von Holtzendorff,
Warden W. T. Fenton of the Ne
braska stale penitentiary said he
believed that, the young people of
today are better as a whole,
morally, but advised them to stay
away from wild parties, and be
more moderate In their Joy riding,
in an exclusive interview Satur
day. "The youth of today are not up
to par morally in certain respects

and I can truthfully say that I
never saw A young woman take a
drink of liquor until prohibition
came Into effect." declared the
warden. "She was considered a
suspicious character if she was
seen smoking, and now I under
stand that it is being tolerated by
some of our eastern schools."
"Obedience to law is liberty
not only in the physical sense, but
mentally and morally as well," ex
plained Warden Fenton. "I don't
know just why young people get
into trouble, if I did we would
certainly attempt to remedy it."
Reasons for Delinquency.
The warden gave some of the
possible reasons as the fact that
young people want to get along
with the least amount of work
possible, that they want too much
money to spend, and that they in

Iowa State Adopts
System for Rating
Personality Traits
AMES, Iowa. A system of rat
ing students on personality to aid
in giving companies information
concerning students they are con
sidering for employment is being
started at Iowa State College, ac
cording to an announcement by M.
D. Helser, director of personnel.
Three of the student's instructors
will rate him on various points of
personality each quarter. The "per
sonality record" at the end of the
individual's college career will con
sist of twelve ratings on about
eleven different points, the aver
age of which will give an index to
his characteristics as observed in
everyday life.
The personality rating is being
started, according to Professor
Helser, because of the irfcreasing
emphasis being placed on this mat
ter by large companies which hire
students each year. ' The ratings
also will aid the student to correct
certain undesirable traits.
Among the points on which the
student will be scored are the fol

ILL DRILLERS HEAR
SORENSEN ON TAXES
Attorney General Proposes
Rate Changes at End of
Convention.
MEET HERE NEXT YEAR
"Taxes must be levied on ability
to pay rather than on property,
like farms or homes, from which
there is often no income," declared
Attorney General C. A. Sorensen
at the closing banquet of the Ne
braska Well Drillers' association,
at the Lincoln hotel Friday night.
"Everyone agrees that taxes
could be cut by eliminating all un
necessary expenses, but too often
those cutting the taxation go toe
far in that direction," Sorensen
said. "If our government was
treated and handled like a private
business, with officeholders acting
as directors and stockholders of
the state business, much duplica
tion of effort could be avoided and
unnecessary outlays of money
could be cut out."
Speaking of duplication of ef
fort, the attorney general declared
that he expected to see the day
when counties would be combined,
and high schools and schools in
i nlarpH much farther apart.
This might be done with improved

SELECTED PROM
GIRL FOR 1932
Omaha Coed Is New Holder
Of Honorary Position
At Annual Ball.
PROCEEDS TO CHARITY
Profit From Party Will Be
Given to Swell Drouth
Relief Fund.
Stepping out of the mouth of a
huge vari-colored dragon which
occupied the entire stage of the
Coliseum, Miss Harriet Nesladek,
senior in the Teachers college, was
revealed to more than one thou
sand persons Saturday night as
the 1932 Prom Girl.
Miss Nesladek was the choice
for the honorary position from five
candidates whose names were
listed on the tickets which were
used as ballots by each couple.
The Prom which is the tradi
tional event closing the formal sea
son was staged this year for the
benefit of the drouth relief lor tne
stricken area in the northern part
of the state. The committee in
charge formulated the idea of cut
ting down expenses for the affair
and using the additional profit for
this purpose.
Despite the fact that expenses
were reduced to a minimum, the
Prom was presented on approxi
mately the same scale as it has al
ways been. Two orchestras, Leo
Becks and Eddie Jungbluths fur
nished the music, both reducing
their regular prices in cooperating
with the idea of the party.
Donations Made.
The Coliseum was furnished by
the university as were palms used
in decorating without charge, ana
advertising posters were donated
by the State Journal. "The char
ity idea was accepted whole
heartedly by the student body and
by those who helped us to reduce
our expenses," declared Bill De
vereaux, chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the Prom.
Decorations carrying out an
oriental theme in keeping with the
presentation idea consisted of Jap
anese lanterns hung from the bal
cony and serpentine streamers
trailing from the railing. Light
ing on the stage was dim, and a
colored spotlight played on the
dance floor. Serpentine and con
fetti were distributed to the guests.
Furniture which was borrowed
from several campus fraternity
and sorority houses was used in
the corners of the Coliseum.

The five girls who were candi

were chosen from a group of eiebt
who filed at the second semester
