Carrie Belle Raymond Hall Has All Charms of Home on Larger, Grander Scale, According to Girl Residents '"When 1 first came to Carrie Belle Raymond hall ami saw how very large it was, and realized that seventy-five girls were going to live here, 1 was afraid it would be like a hotel, just a place to cat and sleep. It has turned out to be something ime different, however. It is more like a home." So said a resident of Kaymond hall as she escorted 1 lie re porter down the steps to the rec-o- reation room recently equipped by the W. A. A. It is here that many of the girls gather after dinner for a social hour before quiet hours begin. Some dance to the music of the radio which has been in stalled, others play ping pong, checkers or bridge. Competition is keen in these games, and tournament teams are being formed. The first organized social event at Raymond hall was the formal reception held last Sunday. Fri day evening the girls will entertain at an hour dance, the first of sev eral which may be given. Later it is planned to hold several large parties. The dinner hour itself is a so cial hour at Raymond hall for the girls are seated in groups of eight, with an upper and a lower class man acting as hostesses at each table. Placed at the same table every evening, the girls form ac quaintanceships in this way. Guests tre invited to dinner Wednesday nights. Often on coming from the din ing hall, the girls stop in the knotty pine room, the best-liked of the several living rooms. There a baby grand piano here, and I season advances. the stacks of sheet music on the racks indicate its popularity. "There's one girl who plays ex ceptionally well," explained my guide, "so we all buy these pieces for her, and come here and listen to her play after dinner." As yet there is no definite provi sion for musical activity in the hall. It is planned, however, to appoint a director of music who may organize a chorus and possi bly an orchestra. At present twenty-two girls who are Interested in dramatics are busy rehearsing three one-act plays which will soon be presented, "The Japanese Wife," "In the Spring a Young Man's Fancy," and "The Hat Shop." Miriam Kis ser.ger, dramatic sponsor, is di recting the plays, assisted by Vir ginia Jones. The huge ballroom, with a stage .it one end, offers good facilities for such produc tions. In athletics, which are directed by La Verle Herman, a team has been organized for intramural competition in Nebraska ball. Ad ditional teams will be formed for the other intramural sports as the "There is a decided lack of in terest, especially among the men students, concerning the use of the swimming pool," was the comment made by Dr. R. G. Clapp, head of the physical education department of the university. "Perhaps some are deprived from the use of the pool because they feel they can not stand the additional expense repuired to register for the swim ming classes." "Others mav not be able to se cure permits to enter the pool be cause of athlete's foot, which the health board has been very partic ular about," he continued. "But in pither case anyone securing a per mit can utilize the pool without en rolling in the classes during the hours not reserved for those class es. These open hours have been divided as nearly even as possible between the men and women, and since only six hours a day are re served for classes there is plenty of time for students to use the pool." Services Optional. The $2.50 enrollment fee for swimming, fifty cent rental on a locker, and the $1 deposit on a lock may be responsible for so few enrolling in the classes, but these charges are not required of any one using the pool during the open hours. It is optional whether a person wants these services, Dr. Clapp added. There is an increase'd interest in swimming this year both in classes and during the open hours but most of the interest is among the women, according to him. "Just as soon as there is, or when students show enough active interest to make it worth while the pool will be kept open until 10 o'clock at night if necessary, but it is not worth the while to light the pool and hire the life guard for only four or five persons," stated Dr. Clapp. Can Cure Trouble. According to the head of the physical education d e p artment. athlete's foot should not deprive anyone of the use of the pool be cause it can be cured in a very short while with a little care. Just as soon as a person gets the infec tion cleared up he run secure a permit from the health office in Pharmacy hall, entitling- him to the use of the pool. "We have one of the finest swimming pools in this part of the country, and I regret to see such a lack of interest in using it. It is here for the students' use and just as soon as there is enough demand tor more hours than are open at the present, the pool will be kept open until 10 if necessary to meet the demand, concluded Dr. Clapp. Political Science Teachers To Supervise Polls in Social Science. Several faculty members of the political science department have agreed to co-operate with the Daily Nebraskan in conducting its presidential straw vote next W ed nesday. Prof. Norman Hill and F. V. Peterson, will aid in the su pervision of the polls to be set up in the main hallway of the Social Science building from 9 till 12 o'clock in the morning and 1 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Other members of the depart ment may also aid in conducting the election. The returns will be wired to the Daily Princctonian Wednesday evening and published in the Daily Nebraskan on Thurs day morning. Results of the nation-wide poll being conducted by the Princeton paper with the co operation of other student dailies in the countrv will also be avail able to Nebraskan readers cither Thursday or Friday morning. The Nebraskan will print in its columns on Fridav, Oct. 21, Sun day, Oct. 23. and Tuesday, Oct. 25, the platforms or resumes thereof, of the democratic, republican and socialist parties, respectively in an effort to give every student an op portunity to investigate or rein form himself upon the principles which the parties are supporting in this campaign. Two professors of the Univer sity of Nebraska expressed their approval of the stiaw vote to be taken of the piesidential candi dates, which will be held Wednes day. Dr. J. P. Senning. profe: sor of political science, said in an inter view to a reporter for the Daily Nebraska, "This election will be beneficial in three ways. First it will stimulate student interest in political affairs. Second it will focus attention on the coming gen eral election. Third the students will have an opportunity to ex press their personal opinions con cerning the presidential candi dates." Dr. James L. Sellers, history professor, agreed with Dr. Sen ning in that the straw vote will act as a stimulus on student inter est in both national and campus politics. Students will think more about the presidential election and possibly change their views. Dr. Sellers also said there is a great need for more interest in ailairs of the national government. O That a nationally known colored band, one which has been broad casting weekly over the Columbia broadcasting system thru station KMBC of Kansas City, has been secured for the second annual Homecoming party, Oct. 29, was announced late Wednesday by the Innocents committee in charge of arrangements. The orchestra which has been secured for the traditional home coming event is that of Thaymon Hayes. This band plaved each night during the past summer at the Fairyland ballroom in Kansas City as successors to Benny Motcn's band. Previously they had played at the El Torreon ballroom in Kansas City. The Hayes' ag gregation broadcasted nightly over KMBC and weekly over the Co lumbia network. Music Critics Favorable. Concerning the orchestra the musical critic of the Kansas City Star, in a writeup which appeared last summer, commented as fol lows : "Thaymon Hayes' orchestra is one of the few Negro bands which specializes in the "sweet and low" type of music now so popular. Discarding the theory that dance bands must be loud and blaring, the leader believes that the prin cipal attribute to a popular band is rhythm and melody. Specialty numbers offered by the band are unusually well-received and a trio known as the "Hot Cha Boys" usually stops the dancing when it sings." The committee in charge of the annual Homecoming party was able to engage the out of town band following special permission of the faculty committee on stu dent functions. The committee said it was granting permission for "this particular affair." The ticket drive for the Home coming party opened Wednesday morning. Ticket sales are in charge of Interfraternity council representatives and members of Corn Cobs, under the direction of Chalmers Graham, member of In nocents society. The tickets will sell at $1.00 plus the regular gov ernment tax of ten cents. General chairman of the In nocents committee in charge of arrangements for the party is Norman Galleher. About 1,000 persons attended the first annual Homecoming party held just a year ago. COMMERCIAL CLUB Dean LeRossignol to Speak On Relation of School To Bizad Student.
