DAVID KELLMAN.
morning at Jl o'cloe:, in an o;e,i
forum on the recent developments
in Czechoslovakia.
To be held in parlors X, Y, Z of
the Student Union building, the
forum will attempt to trace the
events leading up to the central
European crisis of last week, and
invite the opinions of all students
in attendance who wish to enter
into an informal discussion of the
affair.
Dr. Fellman, instructor in po
litical science, has been studying
the developments in Europe with
more than the usual interest of
the average newspaper reader, and
the Council committee planning
the forum believes that he will
be able to present an enlightening
as well as intensely interesting
conception of the situation.
The Student Union is cooperat
ing with the Council committee
in offering this monthly series of
forums during the school year.
Noted Lincoln visitors as well as
local authorities will be invited to
participate. There will be no ad
mission charge. Bob Waugh and
Emma Marie Schuttloffel, co
chairmen, and Dick dcBrown coin
prise the committee in charge.

same time, the Colonel listed the
eleven big com nit lei s of the Hall,
comnvtlce chairmen and members.
A number of well known bands
have been considered by the mu
sic committee, but no decision has
been made at this time. Hand in
hand with oilier preparations for
the I-fell is the opening of the an
nual contest to choose the best
plan for presenting the honorary
colonel. The winning idea earns
a prize of $15 for the originator.
In 1937, Jane Walcott was pre
sented as Honorary Colonel to a
crowd of more than 6,000. Preced
ing her entry, R.O.T.C. cadets
traced in pagentry the history of
Nebraska's R.O.T.C. unit, and the
crack squad of Pershing Riflemen
drilled on the coliseum stage. Joe
Sanders brought his band to play
at the Ball.
Among the patrons and patron
esses of the colorful spectacle last
year were General J. J. Pershing,
Governor and Mrs. R. L. Cochran,
and many faculty members.
Following is a list of the newly
announced committee chairmen in

September "Awgwan
Makes October Debut
Frosh Face Fronts
"Truck Strike" Edition
Honoring the cl.ss of '42, the
September Awgwan, nrst issue of
the school year, hits its reading
public right between the eyes to
day, only five days late. "This,"
hastily reiterates Uusiness Man
ager McGinnis. "is due to a truck
strike in New York which delayed
the printing." And so conies the
humor magazine with one strike
called on it already.
Staring at the reader from the
front cover is a touh hut battered
freshman by Jim Foreman, cover
artist. This freshman, according to
the editor, is the toughest thing
under a red cap from Maine to
McCook and back to main a ga in.
The dedicatees, this year's fresh
man crop, both male and female,
come In for a major share of the
limelight in cartoons, jokes, pic
tures and gore. In fact, practically
the entire gore section is devoted
to short paragraphs telling the
merits of pledges from every
Greek house on the campus, while
each sorority is further repre
sented by a picture of its favorite
freshman.
Football comes in for a plug in
a short history by Hrus Kitniel,
Hrue Campbell, ex-editor of the
Awgwan. Imposingly entitled "Fun

When Richard Vance, William
Stewart, and Dorothy Crandell are
graduated from the University of
Nebraska, they will have estab
lished some kind of record for
'running around,' having traveled
100,000 miles in pursuit of educa
tion. These three students live at Wy
more, Neb., make the trip to Lin
coln for classes each day on the
train. Inasmuch as their fathers
hold railroad passes, this daily
trek saves board and room ex
penses. Although train riding is now a
routine part of these three U. of
N. student's schedules, two hours
of studying done while underway
keeps boredome away.

"The first thing that impressed
me when I landed in Hamburg
was the great number of uni

play of party buttons on coat

plaining that thp buttons signify
membership In some German or

almost every German is a mem

society," he said.
