WHEN an enterprising young
soul dropped his vote in the ballot
box for the new Nebraska song,
he was asked by a rather inauspi
cious Corncob which song he liked
the best. "Rally Nebraska," was
the answer, and a lucky one too,
for the Corncob was it's composer,

'Twas a gala occasion t h e
Farmer's Formal of 1935. The
Activities building, the scene of
this spectacular, event, was very
fittingly and elaborately deco
rated for this social affair of af
fairs on the Ag campus. The set
ting was that of a barn yard on
a cool summer evening. The stars
and a crescent moon shining
dimly above lended a romantic
touch to the atmosphere.

1 here's not much you can say about the
third day in the week, especially after
hours of campaigning. Nothing more
than a vaguely hopeful feeling seems to
prevado the campus, and it will probably
continue until after the Kosmet Klub
presentation of Nebraska Sweetheart, and,
of course, the Military Ball. With that
hopeful attitude, however, comes a bit of
speculation on what the most ardent cam

was a cattle chute thru which all
the farm hands and their farmer
ettes passed. Aisles of baled hay
led the way to the interior of the
old farm ballroom. The corn fod
der, farm machinery and tree
stumps were pushed aside to make
room for the evening's frolic. The
big throng of country boys and
lasses dressed in their native at
tire had a rollicking time remi
niscent of the old time barn
dances that they attended in the
early days of their youth and re
ceived their first training in the
art of flitting the light fantastic.
The tuneful strains of Mel Pester
and his band lended the rhythm
for the occasion.
The queen, Connie Clinchard,
wore a blue dress that seemed to
blend right in with the atmosphere
of the whole barn yard. She was
drawn out of a pumpkin by her
attendant, Ruth Henderson. It
was all nicely done.
We all were very surprised to
see a certain young brown haired
lassie who supposedly is wearing
a Sigma Phi Epsilon pin with an
other guy. We were wondering
also who this tall blonde is who
travels all the way from Omaha
just to take in the formal with the
belle from the suburbs. We no
tice with great glee our managing
editor was present and having
hilarious time pitching apple cores
at her friends from the Delta
Gamma house.
A very interesting letter was re
ceived by your writer which moved
him greatly. And I think you
snouid all know what is in this
letter to prove how I feel toward
the situation. Here it is:
Mr. Richard Laverty,
arm House.
Dear Mr. Laverty:
We have been reading with in
terest your column in the Daily
Nebraskan, and must compliment
you on the success you have seem
ingly obtained in this phase of
Journalism.
However, we fail to share your
sense of humor or tolerate your
taunting caption with which you
have so unwittingly branded those
who attended the Ag college. We
cannot comprehend how anyone
who belongs to Farm House fra
ternity can expose himself as bo
narrow minded and cattish. If you
do not understand what we refer
to Cowboys and Cowgirls keep
on writing your books, you are
most unjust and unfair. You ut
terly fail to see the dignity and
honesty of labor and untiring ef
forts. May we ask Just why you are
in college? Surely not to throw
Jeers at those who have come to
college in earnest and with the
determination, upon which the
University of Nebraska was estab
lished, and also to study, to be a
worthwhile student. Are these
your ideals? Please use more
descretion in your future columns
and as we continue to read your
columns we'll hope that you, Just
anotner or the Ag students, for so
you are, will give articles that do
not Infringe upon the feelings or
rights of your kindred college
maies.
In closing we say, "Hcre'a to Ag
College!"
Sincerely, .

CONTEST
Undergraduate Paper Must
Discuss Proposed Nye
Kvale Amendment.
A contest to select the best edi
torial written by an undergraduate
in any college or university in the
United States on the subject "Why
Congress Should Pass the Nye
Kvale Amendment" has just been
announced by the Committee on
Militarism in Education, 2929
Broadway, New York City.
The Nye-Kvale amendment is a
proposed amendment to Section 40
of the National Defense Act,
which, if enacted into law, will
provide that no R. O. T. C. unit
shall be established or maintained
at any school or college "until
such institution shall have satis
fied the Secretary of War that
enrollment in such unit (except in
the case of essentially military
schools) is elective and not com
pulsory."
The contest is open to an stu
dents in the university, with the
provision that they must first sub
mit their editorials to the Daily
Nebraskan for publication. If, be
cause of censorship or other rea
sons, the contestant cannot get his
editorial published, he should send
a copy of his editorial as written,
together with a statement of the
circumstances preventing publica
tion, to the Committee on Mill
tarism in Education.
Papers should be written in edi
torial form, from 800 to 1,200
words in length, and mailed not
later than Jan. 3, 1936. Further
information may be .obtained at
the office of the Daily Nebraskan.
This Collegiate
World
We learn by remote control that
the girls in a certain boarding
house at the University of Wiscon
sin now have placed little placards
up beside the phones in the house.
The placards say, "Gentlemen
guests will please not answer
calls."
It is a development of an em
barrassing situation of last spring.
One day the dean of women called
the boarding house and a deep
masculine voice answered, "Third
floor."
A few days ago an announce
ment was made to the students on
the McKinlock campus of North
western university. A voice class
for amateur harmonizers was to
be opened on the ninth floor of
the Ward building.
One day after the class began
the dean in charge moved his of
fice from the eighth to the first
floor.
Prophecy: One of the big foun
dations with headquarters in New
York soon will make announce
ments of an outlay of hundreds of
thousands of dollars for radio ed
ucation. "ESCORT INCORPORATED"
It's a new firm doing business
down on the campus of Washing
ton university (St. Louis).
It's like this four BMOC (big
men on campus) have pooled their
charm to make it easier for the
campus girls to date them. They
accept applications for a date from
any girl provided she will furnish
the money. The remainder will
come fro mthe men their pres
tige, charm, their own cars and
the evenin'a good time.
We do not know whether the
boys retain the option of submit
ting an expense account after the
party.
We shan't say what collcee
paper this item came from, but it
goes like this: "We regret to state
that we did not have the informa
tion about John correct. He is
not an instructor, but a fellow. Dr.
Wolf is not head of the botany de
partment There is no botany de
partment. It's biology. It is not
Durham university, but Duke uni
versity." Dr. Loir of Le Havre. France:
"If rats could be civen intelligence
tests they would rate higher than
the average man."
Dr. Glihousek of the University
of Southern Caliofrnia: "There is
absolutely no basis for camparison
Dt-iwcen rais ana numan bcincs. '
Dr. Loir: "Rats outwit humans
at everv turn The beat trapping
methods merely encourage poly
gamous habits, since traps catch
the males that roam while the fc
males stay with the young."
(We give you this in accordance
with our policy of keeping strict
account of what the best minds
are thinking.)
Law students are quick to catch
on.
A story is now going the rounds,
of a student whose law school foes
were raised from $40 to $50.
Canny, he looked at his college
catalogue and the catalogue said
fees were to be $40. So he sued his
college administration for the ex
tra $10. The whole law school fac
ulty was lined up against him, but
the Judges gave the boy the nod.
He won his case.
That reminds ns of a similar in
cident at the University of Minne
sota. Last year, the editor of the
campus yearbook noticed that the
athletic deparment was intending
to charge admission to the Yale
Mlnn.;ota hockey series. The edi
tor looked on the back of his sea
ion athletic ticket and saw that
hocey was inclukded in the soprtj
covered by the ticket. He demand
ed In the name of the student body
that th ticket contract be kept and
mi uproar ensued. But the ath
letic department was "over the
barrel," and was helpless.
Now that we have come to the
end of this column we feel it safe
to Inform you that a protcssor of!
rhetorie at the University of Illi
nois has declared that "columnists
belong to the moron school of
writing."

UNIVERSITY GRADUATES
STUDY STATE INDUSTRY
Nowacek, Shields Awarded
Business Research
Scholarships.
A study of the accounting prac
tices used by the Lincoln water
and light company and a more
general study of the publicly
owned industries over- the state
with special reference to their ac
counting methods and unit costs
of production and distribution are
being undertaken this year by two
university graduates. Charles G.
Nowacek, Plattsmouth, has been
awarded the E. H. Long business
research scholarship and Charles
R. Shields of Hastings the Miller
& Paine award. Scholarships are
for $250 each.
Nowacek, an accountant, will
confine himself to a definite study
of the accounting methods em
ployed by the city water and light
department, while Shields, witn
the aid of reports and figures
given him from publicly owned
industries over the state, will re
view the situation with particular
reference to accounting methods
used and unit costs of production
and distribution.
A graduate of Plattsmouth high
school in 1930, Nowacek is the eon
of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Nowacek of
that city. Shields is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Shields of
Hastings. Both received their
B.Sc. degree in the college of busi
ness administration this year.
They are conducting these proj
ects under Dr. T. B. Robb, chair
man of the department of business

Of Nebraska.
Leonard R. Duerfeldt, Gordon
and John C. Maher, Lincoln, grad
uate students in geology and con
servation and survey, at the' uni
versity, are doing research work
on the loess of this state on allot
ments from N. Y. A. graduate
funds. They are working on ln
itial units of an extensive program
of loess investigation that will
probably extend to all states in the
upper Mississippi valley and the
northern great plains, which will
be organized under the supervision
of a committee of geological or
ganizations, national in scope
Duerfeldt and Maher are now in
the field collecting samples of the
Peorian loess formation for later
study in the laboratory. Their in
vestigations will pertain mainly to
studies of texture and calcium
carbonate or acid soluble content
Their problems are under the su.
pervision of Dr. A. L. Lugn, asso.
ciate professor of geology.
"Loess," says Dr. Lugn, "is t
wind blown deposit of silt and clay
formed under conditions that may
have been similar to those which
prevailed in Nebraska and ad
jacent state- last spring during
the dust storms. There has been
an urgent need for this kind of
research for a long time. Detailed
geologic knowledge of the loess
formations is highly essential in
onnection with general geological
work, sou erosion, sou conserva'
tion, tree planting, land use, and
irrigation. The present projects
have been endorsed by the geology
and agronomy departments, the
conservation and survey division
of the university, and also by the
U. S. bureau of chemistry and
soils."

STUDENTSOF CLASSICS
Dean Discusses Theories of
Decline of Roman
Civilization.
Taking for his subject the de
cline of ancient civilization, Dr.
W. A. Oldfather, head of the
classics department of the Univer
sity of Illinois, spok rcently be
fore a group of classics students
in Morrill hall.
Dr. Oldfather first discussed sew
eral popular theories which at-
tomnf to exnlain the decline of
Roman civilization theories based
on barbarian invasions, soil ex
haustion, lack of gold and silver
fnr riirrpnpv. and the effects of
malaria and explained why these
theories are inadequate, 'men ne
advanced his own hypothesis,
nhtrh attributes the decline to
conditions within the civilization.
namely, to trre unjust aistriDimon
of wealth under the Roman legal
and economic system.
"Under the Roman system," ur.
nidfathpr stated, "there was no
protection for the economically
weak against the economically
strong. The poorer class was con
tinually being exploited; there were
no fixed wages, fixed hours, or
limitations on rate of interest.
This led inevitably to a division of
the people into two classes: A
small o-rnnn of the verv rich, who
could not by themselves repel the
barbarian invaders, and a large
group of the very poor, who were
too discouraged to make any at
tempt to save their civilization."
