Why Not Let The
Whole Campus Do It'
! Selection of Nebraska beauty queens this
rear is to be strictly n campus iit't'air. Tlic l!i;7
Cornhusker stAff, perennial sponsors of the
beauty queen contest, has decided there is mot
to be pained from allowing Nebraska students
to vcfte on Mhom they think is the university 's
fairest, thnn to send a croup of pictures to a
movie magnate or film star and allow him
arbitrarily to make his choices.
Preliminaries and finals are to be held, in
this race for beauty honors, ami the winners
tre to be paraded before the public around
mid-November, in preference to the customary
method of revealing them with the unveilin'u;
of the Cornhusker.
There seems but one drawback o ihe plan
only students who can show a receipt for the
purchase of a Cornhusker will be permitted to
vote in the preliminary election, and only those
attending a downtown theater will be abb- 1o
participate in the final elections. Not even half
of the university students purchase Cornhusk
ers, and less than that can crowd into a the
ater's seats.
Thus the selection of beauty (piecus be
comes not an all university event, but rather
the privilege of those who have purchased
Cornhuskers. And this privilege is limited still
further by the fact that townspeople us well
as students will be admitted to the theater on
.the night of final election.
I
There is n distinction perhaps only an ab
stract one between selection and election. No
one can raise more of an objection than that
the selector "just doesn't know beauty when
he sees it" in the case of one person selecting
the beauty queens. Hut when it is thrown
open to the campus, or even a small part of '1.
cries of "politics" and "favoritism" arc
bound to creep in. Defeated candidates can
raise howis of "fixed" elections, and similar
'ehargpR that will prove anything but com
fortable. The Nebraskan wishes the Cornhusker
success in its new plan, but we do believe that
if the Cornhusker desires to make the beauty
queens the students' choice, the elections
should be thrown open to everyone on the
campus, with no qualifications, lint no matter
whether the few or the many do the elect inc.
the method offers ample opportunity for so
rority combinations, log rolling and politics.
Let's Attend
This Rallv!
; The student rally committee is planning a
; scndolf rally of gigantic proportions for the
; Cornhusker football team before it entrains
for Minneapolis Friday evening.
Due to train schedules, the team must
leave when fraternities and sororities on the
campus are just getting up from the dinner
table, and before students can conglomerate in
sufficient numbers to make the rally appear
more than a gathering of Corn Cobs and
Tassels.
The Minnesota game next Saturday is the
bitr game on Nebraska's schedule. For two
years the Gophers have been victorious. Bas
ing their fond hopes on a fine football team,
and chanting that "the third time is charmed.'
4,000 Cornhusker fans are making the journey
to Minneapolis to inspire their team to victory
the first one over Minnesota since 1!HVJ.
In view of the importance of the impend
ing gridiron clash both on the national football
front and for Nebraska, it is surprising that
campus enthusiasm has remained at Us present
low ebb. There is some talk and chatter of
prospects of victory, inquiries as to who is or
is not making the trip, but as far as fever pitch
excitement is concerned, the campus has re
mained in a state of absolute lethargy.
The Nebraskan is far from advocating
riotous rallying and parading in the dignified
halls of the university. But we are advocat
ing building up campus spirit for n huge dem
onstration at the depot Friday night. The team

Novel Fall Style Show.
"A spectacular fall style revue
will feature the presentation to be
held at the Stuart threat er some
time in November," Baker stated.
"The girls competing for final se
lection as queens will s?rve as

luiskor sales receipts at the box
office that evening will be ad
mitted at a reduction and will re
ceive three votes to cast, while
others will-receive only one bal
lot." This year's book, expected to be
one of the largest due to many
new features, will include a com
plete roster of the students at
tending Nebraska university this
year. According to Bill Marsh,
other additions will be announced
at a later date.

needs and deserves the support of every loyal
Nebraskan. And every student should show
an appreciation of and desire to supply this
need.
Fraternities and sororities and other or
ganized houses could help the situation im
mensely by ordering dinner to be served ear
lier Friday evening. Half an hour couldn't up
set culinary plans. Compulsory attendance at
the rally after an early dinner would be ap
preciated and an undoubted inspiration.
With the Cornhusker team facing its big
test of the year, it is not demanding a meat
deal to ask this of organized groups. When
Corn C:bs and Tassels ask for their co-operation
in making this rally ;i success, the Ne
braskan hopes it will be willingly and enthusi
astieallv forthcoming.

TO THE EDITOR:
Do
Figures Liv?
"Figures don't lie. but liars figure." This
comes to mind after reading the curious para
graph iii unemployment in the republican
campaign article by Frank I.andis. According
to Landis. the "record is simple." Fnemploy
ment has increased under Roosevelt by 1.1 mil
lion men. There were 11 millions uneinploved
in VXVl, now there are l'J.lS'1.000. It is all very
simple. Nut let us see how this strange result
was obtained.
The 11 million figure was an estimate of
Candidate Tfoosevelt s given in a l!):'.'J speech.
The 1'J.1S:!.(I(K) is the estimate of the A mcriean
Federation of Labor for March of this year.
The source for the Roosevelt estimate is not
given, ami so it was impossible for me to trace
a comparable estimate for this year. But the
A. F. of L.'s estimates covering a period f
years can be easily found in the official publi
cation. The Foderationist. Fncmploynictit in
March of 1::. the month in which President
Roosevelt was inaugurated, was l.", (.:;, I KM). In
March of IMli it was. as Mr. Landis states.
12.1S5.OO0. or a reduction of nearly :i l-U mil
lions. But the Marth figures are not the latest
ones for IMli in the A. F. of L. estimates. For
the May, l!i:!li, total is 1 1 .'J."i!l,lNi0. a further re
duction of nearly a million. The total reduc
tion in unemployment from March. 1 !::. to
May. !i;?(i. is 4.": '.'.14.000. according to Federa
tion if Labor figures, which Mr. Landis cites.
Now it is hazardous to rely too strongly on
statistics of unemployment, because in the ab
sence of an unemployment census they are all
guesses, some more reliable than others, de
pending on the source of information. In a
single year the estimates of number of men
unemployed may vary from 7 to 1." millions
with different authorities. But it is not only
confusing, it is absolutely misleading, to take
the estimate of one vear from one source and
that of another from a different source and
then prttend that they represent actual sta
t ist ics.
Incidentally, why should we consider un
employment at all .' In this "unique" election,
in this mighty battle between "two different
concepts of government, two widely divergent
philosophies.' that of the traditional American
plan versus the new dealism." what man cares
whether he is unemployed or not .' If he can't
have bread, let him eat words. Yours sincerely,
THOMAS LARSON.

4 Fallacy.
In the Tuesday issue of the Daily Nebras
kan Edmund llolstein. in his article "Demo
crat." stated words to the effect that (lovernor
Landon balanced the budget with the qualifi
cations, "if he did." by paying the Kansas
school teachers starvation wages. Nothing
could be farther from the truth, vol hundreds
of democrats and so called independents or lib
erals have been harping on this thing, prob
ably more to collect a few more votes for their
nominee. Mr. Roosevelt, than to expound facts.
Before going any further, I will admit two
facts, stated or implied by Mr. llolstein: First,
the budget of Kansas was balanced and second,
the wages of school teachers of Kansas were
materially reduced. This low wage paid to
teachers was not peculiar to Kansas, for the
same condition existed ihrnoiit the nation. Bui
I deny that Alfred M. Landon had any part in
the lowering of teachers' wages in the state of
Kansas. In fad. the governor had nothing
say about the wages of school teachers. The
hiring and wages of school teachers arc vested
solely in local school boards and not with the
governor. If a school board wishes to pay a
teacher a month or .,"() a month, that is their
business and fhe governor can do nothing
about it. The wages, which are paid to the
teachers', have nothing to do wilh the state
budget. The state treasury may be in excel
lent shape and have a balanced budget while
the school district may be far in the red, or
vice versa. '
This letter is not written to create any per
sonal reflection on Mr. llolstein or anyone else.
I wish to show the fallacy of an issue which
has been stated and to dismiss an irrelevant
question. Yours truly. ROY E. BLIXT.

Shall we be ladies or shall we
be mathematicians?
That was the problem which Dr.
Anna A. Stafford, instructor in
the mathematics department of
the University of Nebraska, and
her lady companions faced while
attending the international mathe
matics congress at Oslo. Norway,
this summer. This problem and
how it was solved was an incident
in a very interesting lecture de
livered by Dr. Stafford to mem
bers and visitors of the meeting
last night of Pi Mu Epsilon. hon
ors ry mrth society.
On the particular flay that the
problem arose, "there was," Dr.
Stafford said. " a number of rather
uninteresting lectures to be pre
sented to the mathematicians at
the conference. An entertaining
excursion to Bygdoe museum and
a dinner was to be provided as the
program for the ladies who were
not mathematicians. The excursion
had much more appeal than the
lectures and so altho bothered by
guilty consciences we decided to be
ladies instead of mathematicians."
In 1933 a group of women stu
dents, friends of Dr. Stafford, de
cided that they should go to the
conference in 1936. Letters written
during those years to each other
ended. "P. S. See you in Oslo."
During the trip over they were
much interested in the mathema
tics concerned in navigating the
ship.
"When we arrived in England,
1 received my first lesson in math.
Our dinner costs, for Instance,
26. How much should we leave
for a tip if we leave 10 percent
of the bill?" While in England
they visited the British museum
and examined the Rhind Papyrus,
supposedly the oldest treatise on
mathematics in the world.
The trip to Oslo, going thru
England. Holland, Germany, Den
mark, Sweden and Norway, was
accomplished in three days by va
rious modes of transportation. On
arriving in Oslo they were wel
comed and given a recognition pin.
a metal integial sign on a- blue
enamel circle, which gave them
free rides on the buses and trolleys
in Oslo.
"Most of the young people of
Norway speak American-English.
Their English is very American
nnd familiar slang phrases are not
at all uncommon. Many American
movies have undoubtedly brought
much of this into their speech.
Three moderately sized build
ings constitute the University of
Oslo where the conference was
held. One remarkable character
istic of the Noiwcgians is that
they i an everytninjj promptly on
time. If a conference was schedul
ed at 8 o'clock, it started at 8
o'clock.
"The king and queen or Nor
way gave a tea in honor of the
mathematicians. 1 shook hands
with the king and queen. Upon
leaving the royal palace we saw a
large monument erected to Abel,
the great Norwegian mathema
tician." Dr. Stafford described many
more of her experiences in Nor
way and told of visiting, on the
way home, Berlin on the first day
of the Olympics; Nuremburg, the
town where toys and stoves are
made; Switzerland; and Freibortz,
in the Black forest, where there
are famous cathedrals which she
described as "crystallized geo
metry." Returning home, the party ar

and children mean responsibility
which they seek to avoid; a job
may carry with it certain obliga

they can settle a hat on their care
fully arranged hair and leave it
all behind. You can't walk out
on a husband and leave children
without food, they argue. They
want experience, unhampered by
tradition, no restraints save those
that are self imposed, no laws,
rules or limitations just that won
derful freedom no one human can
ever attain.

"A chaperon's position seems to
have a3 many facets as a diamond,
if net its value. Her influence may
be cieative rr destructive, depend
ing upon her character and dispo

have for her. It i3 a critical period
in their lives when they have
stepped out from the restricted
confines of their homes into the al
most unrc3triced freedom of col
lege life, and there i3 always the
chance that it may be the hand of
their little-understood chaperon
that will keep their heads up
when they are caught in the cur

It is this chance which makes her
position worth while.
