pleted after several possible loca

klub. Candidates may file in the
Student Activities office in the
coliseum.
The election of the sweetheart,
also under the supervision of the
council, will be held on Tuesday,
Nov. 13. Results of the poll will
be kept secret until the presenta-'
tion.
Eligibility is governed by the
following rules:
1. The candidate must have
less than eighty-five hours credit
in this university.
2. She must have earned at
least twenty-seven hours credit
during the preceding two semes
ters. 3. She must be satisfactorily
carrying at least twelve hours

In Existence of 'Scientific Ghosts'
But a few short hours before the one time in all the year
when spirits are free to roam the land, Prof. Lowry Charles
Wimberly came forth with the declaration that he firmly be
lieves the recent findings concerning the existence of "scien

I don t exactly believe inO
ghosts," stated Wimberly, "chiefly
because I have never seen one."
The experience would be wel
comed, however," he continued, be
cause "it would open a great new
field of adventure." Several of his
friends, it seems have had expe
riences with the supernatural, and
their stories have in part, con
vinced him as to the definite exis
tence of "ghosts."
An even greater proof of the
supernatural, however, has been

Proverbs Are Typical, Appropriate,
'Little Pellets of Practical Wisdom,'
According to Professor J. Hertzler
By MARYLU PETERSEN.
"An old cat will not learn dancine," "Like desire like,"
and "One coin in the money-box makes the more noise than
when it is full." are proverbs unfamiliar to us. but we are all
acquainted with their more modern forms, "You can't tench an
old dog new tricks," "Hird.s of a feather flock together," and
"An empty wagon makes the most noise."
"Proverbs are rice in social wis-o
dom, and reflect competently and
concisely the social traditions, at
titudes, and philosophies of the
people using and perpetuating
them." is the opinion of Professor
J. O. Hertzler, chairman of the de

made an extensive study of these

Professor Gives Address on
'Crisis of Western
Civilization.'
Faculty members attending the
luncheon at the Grand hotel today
will hear Dr. Wilhelm Pauck, pro
fessor of church history at the
Chicago Theological Seminary,
present his religious views, speak
ing on the general topic, "The
Crisis of Western Civilization."
The university Y. M. C. A. Advis
ory board is sponsoring the lunch
eon, and vice-chairman Dr. W. H.
Morton will preside.
Dr. Pauck made his first appear
ance before a Lincoln audience last
night when he addressed the Y. M.
Fireside Forum in the Temple. His
lecture dealt with the questions,
what is the meaning of religion,
and more specifically, what does it
mean to be a Christian? In con
clusion he summed up his remarks
with the statement, "I believe that
ultimately, each man faces the
necessity of finding his answer to
the question, why he lives? And
that answer can only be given in
religious devotion."
Two weeks ago Dr. Pauck spoke
to a faculty group at Pittsburgh.
A short letter from the Pitts
burgh university Y. M. C. A. exec
utive secretary reads, "Dr. Pauck
did us a great job in his quiet but
effective way. He led one of the
best retreats we have ever had. We
had about 60 faculty men to hear
him and the response was splendid.
He made a case with them as well
as with students. I can unquali
fiedly endorse him for meetings
such as we had." Signed, W. W.
Mendenhall.
Faculty members who have not
made reservations may still do so
this morning by phoning the Grand

New Building Would Cost People of
Nebraska Only One Dollar Each Says
Gilbert Doane, University Librarian
"It every person in the state of Nebraska would contribute
one dollar to a library fund, Ave would be enabled to build and
equip an institution that would be ox inestimable service not
only to the students of the university, but to the entire state as
well," declared Gilbert Doane, university librarian, in an inter
view with a Nebraskan reporter.o
"Nebraska university ranks ap
proximately eleventh in enrollment
and twenty-fourth in the size of
the library."
"The library may not be the
poorest equipped building on the

the most important single unit,
why should it be in the lowest rank
as far as its physical capacities
are concerned?" lie queried.

ENCOURAGE
STUDENTS TO VOTE
Non-Residents May Complete
Registration for Elections
By Mail.
With less than a week before the
fall general elections, campus po
litical organizations are exercising
every effort to encourage students
of legal age to go to the polls next
Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Students who have failed to
register for the elections may still
exercise their franchise, if a quick
action is taken, it was pointed out.
According to the law, persons
whose residence is in other sec
tions of the state than in Lincoln
may vote by mail, or, with special
arrangements may register where
their cities are of 7,000 or more
population.
To vote by mail, students of
legal voting age should write to
the county clerk of their home
county, asking him to mail a bal
lot. Ballots used under these cir
cumstances must be returned to
the county clerk on or before Sat
urday evening, Nov. 3, properly
notarized and sealed.
For a limited number of students
the county clerk of Lancaster
county will be able to save this
trouble. He will supply non-resident
mail ballots, which are to be
mailed to the county clerk of the
home county on Saturday of this
week. His supply, however, is not
large enough to take care of all
students who expect to vote by
mail.
Altho registration in all cities of
7,000 or over should have been
completed last Saturday, it was
pointed out that a sworn affidavit,
signed by two freeholders, stating
reasons why registration was not
completed, and presented to the
clerk of the home county, will per
mit students to vote in their home
cities.

Lack of Student
Interest.
"Deadline for entering Rhode s

there is an unexpected last min
ute rush not more than six or
seven university students are ex
pected to bid for the honors this
year, Dean C. H. Oldfather, chair
man of the university committee,
announced Wednesday afternoon.
But three candidates had filed to
compete for the scholarships by
Wednesday afternoon, although
three or four others had announced
that they were planning to enter
the lists before the deadline ar
rives, Dean Oldfather stated.
Candidates will appear before
the university committee in Dean
Oldfather's office at 9 a. m. Satur
day to compete for the right to en

are Dr. Samuel Avery, Dr. J. P.
Senning, Dr. E. H. Barbour, and
Prof. M. H. Merrill.
State Competition Still Keen.
Although interest in the Rhodos
scholarship appears to be far lower
than in the past on the Nebraska
campus, competition for the right
to enter the state competition will
be just as keen this year as ever,
according to Dean Oldfather.
"We are allowed to select five
outstanding candidates from our
university to enter the state com
petition," said Dean Oldfather,
"but that does not mean that we
must necessarily choose that num
ber. If there is but one outstand
ing candidate entered, then we will
choose but one to represent our
school. If but five file, and the
committee considers all of them
outstanding, we shall of course
name those five to appear -before
the state committee."
Four Selected from District.
The two outstanding candidates
from all of the schools in the state
will advance from there to the dis
trict competition, where they will
compete against the two outstand
ing candidates from Minnesota,
South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas nnd
Missouri. The four outstanding
candidates from that group will re
ceive the scholarships to Oxford
university in England, valued at
400 pounds a year.
Almost twice as many university
students entered the Rhodes com
petition last year, when 13 eligible
students appeared before the uni
versity committee, and Tiean Old
