Site Selected;
Union Board Next.
The first progressive step taken by this
mivwsity fur a long time in the abetting of its
lf interests was the purchase of the Jots
'.cross from Ellen Smith and facing It st., ou
vhich to erect a Student Union building.
The location is ideal from all viewpoints,
t provides room for expansion so that the size
f the building can be doubled or tripled. It
s near the student residence district and near
he campus both. It is in this direction that
he eampu of the future will expand.
An orchid to the board of regents for see
ng fit to purchase this property, an event for
.vhich students did not dare hope, and, conse
luently for which they made no provision in
heir plans.
The big problem, now thai a site has been
itlected which, promises to be suitable from
very angle and to satisfy every desire and ne
cessity of a Union building, is the creation of a
.roKT administrative organ. Petitions for
pace soon will be pouring in, and rooms must
ie allotted to the use of student activities.
rchitectural plans to a great, degree follow
i he use of space in the building.
At the present time committee of stu
dents, faculty, and administratis e officers con
fer from time to time on plans and execution
with no definite fixed authority. Final deci
sions cannot be made because the committees
at present in operation have only the power
of recommendation. Some agency roust be set
up to govern the building and integrate the
recotnmendal mois as they have been made.
The Daily Nebraskan urges the lxtard of
regents to consider soon the creation of such a
board. Construction of the building must lie
under way by Jan. 11, and final plans should
he made, by that time. 'We would recommend
a board of students, faculty, and alumni, which
would decide on all general jndicies and elect
uie union director. The Student Council plan
of six students, three faculty, and three alum
ni members is practical and, theoretically at
least, smooth working. It would provide suf
ficient students to carry on all phases of activ
ity, and provides also for re-election to the
board in eases of meritorious performances, w
that thre is a great degree of permanency.
Sueh boards of control have been used
wilh success at other schools. We recommend
that this plan lx; accepted, and that it go in
effect at once.
We have heard of American heiresses
picking off European nobles, carls, counts,
dukes, and barons, but Mrs. .Simpson is the
first case we have on record of one jro'iog out
after a king. Which just goes to show that
there arc no limits to the American woman '4

The Cornhusker Photo
Deadline Is the Tenth.
TO THE EDITOR:
According to a somewhat popular belief
on the campus, I think it is necessary to ex
plain that the deadline for Cornhusker pic
tures, set for Dec. 10, is there to stick, and
"we ain't fool in'." We realize fully that in
the past, deadlines have been set, and reset,
but not so last year, and not so this year. For
the 193fi yearbook, however, pictures were
taken for the junior and senior sections until
in January; this year, the deadline for both
junior and senior sections and fraternity or
sorority sections is Dec. .10, and not to be
changed.
The reason is this: Due to a contract with
Townsend's studios, panels prepared for en
graving must be turned into the engravers by
the first of January. Therefore the photogra
pher must, have ample time to prepare the pan
els and to handle his commercial Christmas
business.
And so, if after the 10th at. f p. m., the
studios and the Cornhusker staffs refuse to al
low you 1o have your picture taken for any of
these four sections, please try and see our side
of the question. We have allowed you two and
on half months to have your pictures taken;
unless procrastination has completely overpow
ered you, this should be plenty of time, barring
your being bedridden since the start of school.
There is still plenty of time before the 10th
please! we gave von plenty of warning.

Uecause more than a dozen Iowa U stu
dents had been injured in week end auto acci
dents while journeying to other cities for night
club amusements, Jesse (Jorkin, editor of Iowa
City's only morning newspaper, a student pub
lication, waged an editorial campaign which
resulted in a liquorless night club in the base
ment of the Iowa university Memorial Union
building.
Since Iowa City restricts the sale of lxvr
to the business district and forbids music and
dancing where the beverage is sold, the uni
versity students have had to go to Cedar Rap
ids or other nearby towns for week end diver
sions. Gorkin's idea became a reality last
week when 110 couples (at $1 per pair)
crowded the 60x20 floor and danced to the
strains of a student orchestra or sat at dimly
lit tables nibbling sandwiches and sipping
soft drinks as they watched the floor show
put on by student entertainers.
The Silver Shadow, as they call it, is
staffed by 110 students, who draw salaries, ami
is open from K:30 until midnight on Saturday
evenings. All profits go to the university.
Ruby Keeler, tap dancing mov'w actress
wife of Al Jolson, was recently forced to stop
work on her latest picture, "Ready, Willing
and Able," because of an appendicitis attack.
The speech of President Justo at the inter
American peace conference was hardly less
noteworthy than that of Mr. Roosevelt. The
Argentine leader cordially acknowledged the
significance of the presence of the president
of the United States, and he wholeheartedly
endorsed Ihe project of Pan-American peace.
Hut apparently he was not so disposed to turn
completely away from Europe ami hinted gen
tly to the United States that she must not look
forward to a monopoly on South American
Irade.
!reat liritain has far greater investments
in the Argentine than has our country. Euro
pean trade bulks large in the international
commerce of South America. President Justo
said that he saw no reason to "alter" trade re
lations with Europe.
Put of more immediate importance, th
Argentine president was in complete readiness
to do everything feasible to aid Europe in
maintaining peace.
According to English constitutional law,
Edward VIII has theoretical power which ex
ceeds that of Stalin, Mussolini, or Hitler in
fccope. If he liked, he could legally set himself
up as an unlimited dictator. Rut he still lacks
one right which the most humble American
cilizrji possesses and exercises the right to

war and upon being sentenced to
death his patriotic declaration, "I
regret that I have but one life to
give for my country."
Tableau Depicts Citizenship.
Symbolical of citizenship, the
second tableau was based on the
life of Abraham Lincoln. It told
of events in his life .his strvggle
for an education and finally his
death at which time Secretary of
War Stanton said, "Now he be
longs to the ages." The final ta
bleau, depicting the quality of
courage showed a picture of the
almost forgotten pioneer woman
and the bravery which it was nec
essary for her to display in the
founding of our new country.
Following the march thru the
arch of sabers Miss Yoder, accom
panied by Cadet Colonel Eager
and the lieutenant colonels of the
regiment returned to the stage to
review the colorful grand march
staged by R. O. T. C. cadet offi
cers and their dates. At the close
of the march. Miss Yoder address
ed the audience over an amplify
ing system and directed the cadet
officers to present their dates with
small silver sabers, a tradition
which was inaugurated at the ball
in 1934.
Louis Prima Play.
Dancing to the music of Louis
Prima and his "New Orleans
swing band" featured the remain
der of the evening's program, fol
lowing the grand march. Novelty
numbers in which Prima confined
his reputation of being one of the
most famous trumpet players in
the country were especially out
standing, in addition to special vo
cal numbers which were sung by
Velnia Kaye, a star performer for
the band.
Prize for the presentation of
the honorary colonel for this
year's ball was awarded to Rich
