The AILY JN EBRASK AN Let's Iron The Hoosierg Attend Tonite's Torch Rally Official Student Newspaper of t he University of Nebraska VOL. XXXVI NO. 21. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16. 1936. PRICE 5 CENTS. jnnuriF BY STEEVES Terhaps my public, both of you. would be interested in Rome true life drama of the campus. The icene is laid within the molded walls of the Daily Nebraskan of fice. The time is one busy after noon when the typewriters are pounding out their rapid staceto at a furious pace. Managing: editors ire tearing their own and every one else's scalps trying to get copy In. The phone rings and the manag ing potentate barks a gruff "hello" On the other end of the line a iweet and gentle voice calmly re taliates. "You know," it said, " I wanted to tell you some things about your paper and tell you some things at the same time. Why do they al ways put (some Latin phrase) on the top of newspapers?" No one seemed to know in the office until some one in the cor ner piped up with an answer some thing about a war slogan which was immediately flung at her. Continuing, "You know, I don't think a college education does one much good. My little boy asked my husband why a fireman wore red suspenders and my husband knew they were to hold his pants up and he's never been to college. Still talking in her quiet unassuming manner, "You know I think college misses those little things, don't you. You ought to have a column in your paper called why." The rabble went on for minute after minute telling the editor about his sheet and asking rid dles. When he finally querried as to her appelation she only shyly muttered, "Well, all the kiddies Just call me Aunt Nettie, so you just call me Aunt Nettie too." And with that she hung up, promising to call again soon for a sociable chat. When she does, be lieve you me we will be on hand to get it. This year as never before there seems to be a tendency for the males to instigate officers of pres tige on the campus. Things to rival the beauty queen stunt of the women. At present their is some sort of a poll going for the best couple of the campus and an other for the most popular boy or sump'n. If I be a normal specie of my sex, let there be as little of this as possible, for it can be a serious catastrophe. Girls, when children, can pour their disappointment into a wadded handkerchief or take their jealousies out on opponents with the eye scratch method. Whenthey turn college age mani curing forces them to refrain from all outlets of passionate de feat. Now take the boy. He seldom sets his heart on something, but when he does, it is not a whimsi cal want, it is determination. And when defeat kicks him in the face there is nothing to keep him and his allies from sleeve rolling and nose poking. I might be wrong. Another slant forgotten on Min nesota was that girls must be in their sorority by two a. m. or else carry their own key. coullra Four Nebraskans Are Chosen Officers in National Organization. Colonel John Jarmin of the Uni versity R.O.T.C. will serve this year as National Commander of Pershing Rifles, basic drill hon orary. Other university men elected to the executive staff are: Major Clayton Ankeny, adjutant; Captain George Eager, historian: and First Lieutenant John Gabbie, aide. Elected at the national assembly of regimental heads, who met here during the latter part of August, these officers will carry on their respective duties from the local campus office, which is the central headquarters of the nationwide organization. General purposes of the August convention, to which came regi mental commanders from units all over the United States, were to elect the national officers and to formulate a policy for the com ing year. The one word policy of the organization is "expansion," the Increasing of the number of men enrolled, without lowering the high standards of member ship. In keeping with this new policy, a new Seventh regiment was established at the University of Missouri on Sept. 26. The initial issue of the "Persh ing Riflemen" will be available on Nov. 1. Featured will be "Learn to Fly." a yarn concerning the adventures of a cadet in the fly ing corps, as well as articles con densed from widely read military magazines. REPORTERS TO MEET SATURDAY MORNING Nebraskan reporters will attend a staff meeting at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morn ing in the offices in U hall. Permanent beats will at that time be assigned reporters, and additional instruction in newswrlting and reporting will be given. Reporters will keep the new beats only by giving them regular coverage during the week, the managing edi tors stated. Those yet intend ing to do reportial work for the Nebraskan are asked to report the managing editor's desk for assignments.

Condra, dean and director of the conservation divi sion of the university, who is also dean of geologists in the state, made the prediction Thursday that there will be commercial oil production in Nebraska within a year, maybe sooner.

"Six large companies have exten sive leases, covering more than a million and a half acres in all. principally in Red Willow, Dawes, I (Continued, on Page 2).
