It campus politicians and headlines in The Daily Nebraskan were to be taken too seriously one might actually believe that another milestone in the progress of the campus is to be reached today. It Is election day. For several weeks faction leaders have searched about for the most likely men to occupy positions on the ballot. In many cases, they have been searching for men, not that will best serve the campus, but ones that will drag home the most votes for the honor and glory of that faction. There have been petty quarrels within the factions. Rup tures at times seemed imminent. But all that is brought to a culmination today. It is election day. There is a growing sentiment on the campus that interest in activities is slowly but surely dying. That observation seems to be true. But whether or not it is a cause for alarm is open to question. Activity and political leaders, however, can forget their worries today, for their pet hobby is to receive a shot in the arm. It is election day. THE Daily Nebraskan has practiced for many years a quaint custom of warning voters that Contemporary Comment The Interneship Idea Spreads. A new curriculum for teachers, including a pre-education college and interneship, was outlined as a future possibility for teacher training by three speakers at the recent convention of the Michigan Schoolmasters club. The most def inite proposals along this line were made by Dr. John Sundwall, di rector of the division of hygiene and public health, who addressed the club on "A Physician Looks at Teacher Training." His proposal called for a two year training on a broad general basis among the so-called "cultural courses," after which the best of the preparing students would be picked to enter the actual teacher training institution. Here their general education would continue, on the grounds that they must not confine themselves to the narrow field of their specialization, but be able to correlate the different fields of learning for their stu dents. The extraordinary feature of the proposal, however, is the year of interneship before a position as teacher is accepted Here, if the plan is put into effect, the pros pective teacher will get his prac tice teaching, here he will begin to specialize. The university, another speaker revealed, has at present such an arrangement with the Crosse Pointe schools. Seconding the physician in his proposal of a teacher training sim ilar to the regime of medical school were two educators, Prof. Raleigh Scborling of the school of education, and Prof. Thomas Car ter of Aloion. Seldom is it that an army official will agree to what a navy man says about the army, so in a case like this, the plan must Indeed have promise. The interneship, if adopted, and It is being thought of in other fields than these, will in addition aid placement, both from the point of view of the teacher and the school board. A record of the can didate's actions under teaching conditions will be available, and the prospective teachers will have contact with their field while seek ing employment. The Michigan Daily. Getting It Across. Of all methods of dispensing in formation in an academic com munity, the lecture system is the cheapest. No other means has been devised of presenting to a large student body a condensed mass of material, accompanied by interpre tive analysis on the part of a rec ognized authority. Textbooks or the majority of them soon be come antiquated, whereas from the platform, an instructor is able to alter his subject in accordance as new facts are unearthed. Un happily, the difficulty of master ing the lecture system with its many angles, is out of all propor tion to its economy. Vitally important in a well rounded lecture are presentation and content Thanks to the re newed emphasis on ccholarship few Harvard lecturers last long without the latter. But it is the ability to stimulate, the extent to which a man brings into his sub ject the dynamics which give It significance, that make a lecture lnterestlii. And it is precisely .vu virvy Trhich is being ne glected today. Some object that this "priceless Ingredient" is a rarity, that it is possessed only by those who are born orators, that to confront a yawning mob on a cold winter morning or a restive one of a rprisg day and fill them with a burning desire to Investigate, say, the rrtJ reasons for the failure of i the Parle commune, requires long, I partieu'ariied training.

Facility in talking to others is, then, the quality which, more than any other, is the ear mark of the successful lecturer. Without it, his knowledge, how ever, voluminous, will avail him nothing. One of the greatest honors at tainable in pre-Hitler Germany was to be appointed lecturer in an elementary course. Such an atti tude towards the lecture-system indicates clearly the gap between European and American theories of education. In the former it is up to the instructor to stimulate the student. We Americans have too long labored under the delusion that the privilege of taking a course is such as to compensate a student from any boredom result ine from men unaccostumed to Dublic speaking. Only when we recognize that lecturing is one of the most important aspects or puc lic speaking will the lecture sys tem achieve its due position in American education. The Mar vard Crimson. CMANTS BY CHANCE. Another member of the Univer sity Players will present her Senior recital soon. Leila Irwin, a senior In the dramatics department, will read Eugene O'Neill's "Ah, Wilder nesa" at the Temple Theater Wed nesdav evening, May 15 at 7:30 o'clock. This play is a farce, and starred Will Rogers, when it olaved a cross-country tour last season. The public is invited. Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock Lillian Helms Pollev and her Carolers presented a concert in the temple. The junior uaroiers ap ceared first on the program. A sextette of university girls sang several selections. "Were My Songs," "Oh Little Star," "Turn Ye To Me," "Now Is the Month of Maying," "La Lune Blanche" and "Cresses Green" were the songs. On the last two, solo parts were sung by Ruth Johnson and Jane Edwards. Attired in folk costumes of bright colors, sashes, full skirts, hats and shirts, the Senior Carol ers sang folk songs of various countries. Lewis Bottorff sang "The Bailiff's Daughter," "Grumpy Granny" and "Wandering," Henri etta Dirks and John Stone sang "The Keys of Canterbury." Schu bert's "My Abode" wa ung by William Ferguson. Ruth Johnson sang also, "He's Gone Awsy," and Margaret Chase ang "The Frog Went a-Courtin'." "The Arkansaw Traveler" was sung by an ensem ble composed of Maxine Peterson, William Cant, Irving RosewelL, Grace Schneider, Jane Holland, James Hammond, Lloyd Cleveland, Violet Vaughn and Jane Edwards. Other students from the Con servatory of Muslo have been busy making appearances recently, also. William Miller, a student of Wil liam Temple, sang for the Business Girls' meeting at the First Chris tian church Monday evening. A quartette composed of Hazel Smith, F. F. Flagler, Daisy Wetzel and Homer Gammill, all students with Vera Upton, sang for a re ception recently at the Grace Methodist church. Parvin Witte presented his students In his an nual concert Monday evening at 8:15 at the Temple. A special motion picture, "Emil and The Detective," an all-German talkie, is being sponsored by the Germanics department of the uni versity, Saturday morning, May IS, at tha Stuart theater. Two per formances will be givsn, one at t o'clock and another at 11 o'clock. Ticket are twenty-five cents, and may be purchased from member of the German classes or at the of fice of the Germanics department.

It also la beseech all students to exercise their franchise and go to the polls so that those elected may be truly representative. Therefore The Daily Nebraskan sroes Into Its sons: and dance. It is elec The student council, in case anyone happens to give It a second thought, is supposed to be the student governing body of the University of Ne braska campus. Its powers are broad and so should be Its duties. It is obvious that men and women of initiative should occupy the seats of honor. For council has been an object for bit. ter criticism mainly because of the lack of interest shown by the majority of members. Now is the time to remedy that situation. It is election day. It has also been said that the blame for the council's inactivity should lie on the theory that it is not truly representative. There is much truth to this theory. Only a small portion of the student body ever shows up at the polls. This situation also must be remedied. Go to the polls. It is election day. NOW that The Daily Nebraskan has completed its expected song and dance, it realizes how futile are its vords or the words of any one else who would be foolish enough to attempt to put sense and order into nonsense and disorder. But then that makes no difference. It is election day. Party lines as usual will be sharply drawn. There will be a race to see who can get out the largest share of the women's vote. Ballots will be marked by name and political affiliations only, not according to ability. The usual comparatively small number of votes cast will be registered. There are no issues. Maybe a bit of mudslinging, but nothing that can be called an issue. But why should any one try to be a wet blanket It will be a lot of fun for those who enjoy that sort of thing. It is election day.

TAMES Henry Carmichael Jr. is a hero. He's a hero because he can remain calm in emergency be cause he is a skilled airplane pilot and because he landed his trl-mo-tored Ford safely, after it lost one motor and half the land gear in the air. He doesn't look much like a pilot but he'll probably receive the coveted Air Mail Fliers' Medal for bis feat. JAPAN doesn't exactly like the idea. All this navy maneu vering in the Pacific has drawn fire from hundreds of Amer icans, too. And the United States fleet proceeds to carry out the biggest maneuver in this coun try's history. Clergymen and pacifists were quick to sponsor friendship moves toward the Japanese when they learned the fleet had steamed away. While Japanese government of ficials have urged ti ey "under stand" the movement, it is felt that somehow they really do not. Prin cipal scene of maneuvers is very close to the 180th meridian, known as "the fence" between old and new worlds. Crossing that line is quite likely to be misunderstood. Prime purpose of this business, state navy men, is to train naval forces, test ships, and familiarize themselves with far away Pacific waters. Others call it a dress re hearsal, indicating it is a cleverly designed scheme to display strength where other countries may view it, and fear. HIS Highness the Maharaja of Patiala, Chancellor of the Cham ber of Princes, who lives in In dia, has been visiting in London. He quickly denied that be brought clothing worth eight million pounds sterling, that he brought bus curry cook, and that he had reserved a whoje floor at his hotel. What's more, he told an English friend, be was having a jolly good time. JUST an old German custom. Nazi officials are trying to revive what is known as "Civic Death," punishment thought to be more se vere than the headsman's ax. Be cause beheading doesn't cut one from relationships with the public, it isn't good enough, declares Min ister of Justice Dr. Franz Gurtner. Civic death would, for all intents and purposes, be a living death. Cut from all civic rights and rela tionships the condemned would have nothing left but to die, In mis ery. Such was the fate of ancient Huns. PHI LAMBDA UPSILOS HOLDS riCMC MAY 25 Chemistry Society Gives Spring Event at Auto Club Park.

It is our feeling that the calling to mind of the achievements of the present Student Council will better serve to aid the voter in making his de cision than the making of idle and futile promises as has been the practice of the Progressive party in the past ' First: The present Student Council has had fewer meetings and accomplished less than any Student Council In the past five years. Second: The demands of the students for the elevation of the standards of All University Par ties by mean of removing the ar bitrary low maximum orchestra rate set by the Faculty Committee have met with scant attention of the present Student Council. Third: Although the campus signuied Its desire for a perma nent Senior Class Organization in the election of the present Senior Class President the present Stu dent Council refused to adhere to the resolution of the Senior Class Committee that permanent duties be placed on the Senior Class President Fourth: That while the Student Council is supposed theoretically to serve the entire campus a a non partisan student governing body, nevertheless it has served as the vehicle for the most vicious, the sharpest and disgusting par tisan politics displayed by any non partisan body or men in recent years. In accordance with our policy of faithful observance of election pledges as evidenced by the efforts of the present Senior Class Presi dent to organize the class in com pliance with the mandate of the campus delivered at the last fall election we pledge ourselves to continued adherence to the ex pressed wishes of the campus and further go on record as desiring to: L Definitely organize the upper classes of the university by setting up the proper executive machinery to bring such result about n.

AT TRYING TIMES .... TRY A SmoolA OLD COLD Progressive Platform The Progressive party of the campus, wishing to comply in every sense to its fltpr?: res Not Politics" submits the following brief and concise plat form for the consideration and ap proval of the student body. We have no wish to sling mud at our opponents, nor to attempt to de ceive the student body by using high sounding words and phrases and by entering upon lengthy ti rades which have no meaning. The Progressive party points proudly to its record, a record which we believe has brought to the campus the most helpful and significant action of any student governing group in the school's history. Unegotistlcally but with justifiable pleasure, the Progres sive party polntf to the following concrete, specific and indubitably valuable accomplishments of stu dent officers elected under its banner. 1. Entirely on It own initiative, and aeainst overwhelming odds, the Progressive student council has advanced the cause of Nebraska's most crying reed, a student union building, to the point where every indication points to securing the federal loan for tai nuuaing wiw in the present year. The Progres sive party pledges Itself to con tlnue the good work thus far per formed. 2. Involving countless hours of detailed work and investigation thru many channels, the Progres' slve student council ha formulat ed a plan to establish for Nebraska students a university owned, non profit used book exchange. The proposal will be laid before the Board of Regent this spring, and it is our belief that every student will recognize the merits of the project. There can be no doubt that the welfare of the entire stu dent body will be enhanced by this move, and the Progressive party feels It has acted to eliminate an unfair burden to which the stu dents have been subjected. 3. The Progressive party has succeeded in achieving a liberaliza tion of the administration's atti tude toward student social life. Permission to hold major functions until 12 p. m permission to hold parties outside city limits, and per mission to smoke in sorority houses are significant concessions we are proud to have had a part in securing. 4. The Progressive student coun cil, acting in the Interest of the campus, this year set up a new rally committee, which gave the campus the best rally program in Its history. 5. The Progressive party, In its administration of Corn Cobs, men's pep group, points with pride to the restoration of that organization's prestige, a n d to the place as an actively functioning campus so ciety which It now holds a a re sult of this year's administration. Prfogressive party members ask but two questions of student lead ers: "Will you work unselfishly for the interest of the student body?" and "Are you qualified for ' this honor?" On the basis of fulfilling these requirements, we have nomi nated our candidates, and we pledge ourselves to continued espousal of the cause of clean and progressive student government, free from the taint of politics.
