Matched for innovation by only the breath taking1 parade of events on tha national political icene, the. sideshow of Nebraska's student self government agencies offers a new story every day. Yesterday, an old specter stirred in his grave the ghost of cla.ss organization. But those who saw him on the evening' of resurrection report that he was wealing an entirely different sheet. On reading; the proposals that accompanied the appointment of 13 members to the committee, cn organization for the class of 193S. we can agree with the observers; the movement is being launched in an entirely new manner, and certain new aspects merit thoro consideration. For example: Class President Wadhams lins chosen the Junior-Senior prom committee as the working basis of the new committee, both in theory and fact. The committee has, in fact, every mem ber of the 1937 prom committee included. In the ory, it avoids the frequent criticism of forming any new elective agency, combines some worthwhile ac tivities for the committee with their former job of throwing a dance, and takes advantage of the fact that all thp members are ambitious juniors, up to their neck in activities and working like the devil. But the potentialities of this plan lie in tht propositions that will be. discussed at their first meeting, namely, the participation of undergradu ates in a freshman orientation week and the cre ation of a student movement thruout the state that would make, thru personal contacts and publicity, the populace more aware of the fact that there's a university down at inroin trying to muuuie i along. A column of type could be written on the advantages of either proposal. Imperfections in thU plan will crop up every time it is exposed to discussion, but if the general idea is as sound as it seems, the bumps will serve merely to knock off the rough edges. A future of possibilities in student government lies ahead for any activities group that will exploit the freshman class with demands on their purposes and plans in attending Nebraska, rather than with subscrip tion drives and can sales alone; or one that will try to convince the state's citizenry of the advan- j tages of higher education in a democracy, rather j than any such special group as the legislature, j There is no better plan than the second to dus- ! cover the university's shortcomings V.

Ak-Sar-Ben Ball to Feature Program at Close of Showman Contest. With seventy ag students en tered in the stock showing con test Saturday evening the 1937 Junior Ak-Sar-Ben will be the largest held in the history of the event. The advance ticket sale for the ball, Friday night, the other Ak-Sar-Ben feature, has been large, stated Vincent Jacobsen, chairman for the party. An unusual feature of the show Saturday evening will be the cash prizes offered to members of the audience for meritorious perform ances in judging livestock value. Thu bidding contest will be con ducted from the ringside imme diately after the showmanship contest Saturday evening. Tickets for the Friday night ball may be obtained from any member of the Btock and Bridle club anytime preceding the night of the ball. The advance price for the ducats is fifty cents a couple, if they are bought before Thurs day evening. Tickets bought later wiil cost forty cents for the men and twenty for ladies. Paul More head has been signed to furnish the music for th annual occasion and members of the committee in charge of the ball promise one of the biggest events in history. Cash prizes are being offered to student competitors in both the showmanship and bidding contests being staged Saturday night, as well as individual ribbons for win ners in each class. Outside patrons may enter the competition, but will not be eligible for the cash prizes.

Senator McMahon lives in the labor district of Omalia, and has a thoro knowledge of employ ment and union conditions in that city and thruout the state. "Omaha is fairly well along in unionization," he declared. "The building trades are at least 50 percent organized," which is a good percentage for an occupation of its type. Asked about the labor conditions in the packing houses, he indi cated that a majority of the unions in the industry are con trolled by the companies for whom the members work.

JJvl I JAoitL By Arnold Levin The second major airliner dis aster of 1937 claime eleven lives when a coast transport plane crashed into San Francisco bay Wednesday afternoon on its way to a landing. The first, a little over a month ago, numbered among its victims Martin Johnson, world-noted explorer, whose wife yesterday said she would fly again. Such accidents me unfortunate for the future of the airline in dustry, but traffic along that means of communication has fal len little despite the fatalities of the past few months. Skyway officials are planning Installation of new safety de vices which are intended to elim inate any possibility of "chance" involved in crashes. These In clude: adoption of radio direct ion finders; more exacting nav igational training of airline pi lots; installation of air logs on all transports in the near future; installation of anti-static loop antennae on airliners. There is very little half-way j about ail airplane crash. As one 1 traveler said after spanning half j the continent in a single morning: , "It's creat stuff, but all the time ; you know that if anything should go wrong the chances are a inou sand to one against you." :: Maritime activity on the west coast is approaching normality, despite casual job disputea affect ing particular companies and threatened trouble in Alaska. For the first time since Oct. 30, liners were leaving on schedule and iYeiphfers were beinz unloaded regularly last week. However, the longshoremen in Uncle Sam's Alaska, taking their cue from California cohorts, are demanding west coast pay before doing their jobs. Possible opportunity for John L. Lewis and his C. I.

And there is always the prob lem of exact definition cf a po litical crime. Trotzky, undoubt edly, is very safe in his offer. :ji :i President Roosevelt urged a "new economy" for the drouth stricken middle west, his second important proposal within th? past week.
