Proposals are usually up to the

ideas on the subject. Most of the

along this line seem to be a bit
disillusioned and somewhat disap

the men.
The feminine element of mar
riageable age is divided up into a
sort of pre-matrimonial aristoc

women who have one or more pro

annual heads
to pick queens
Hager announces new
plan for selecting NU's
most beautiful women
For the first vtlme in history
Nebraska beauty queens will rep
resent the choice of the editors of
the annuals of the other "Big 6"
publications instead of the choice
of an individual artist. The new
plan of selection was announced
j'esterday by Orval Hager, editor
of the Cornhusker.
Candidates for the title of beauty
queen can be nominated by any
organized group purchasing twenty
books. Each organization will be
allowed to nominate one candidate
for each twenty books purchased
Pictures of candidates will be
taken by Townsend's free. These
pictures, accompanied by a write
up of each candidate, will be sent
to the editors of the other publica
tions. When the results are re
turned, the pictures of the suc
cessful candidates along with the
writeups will be printed in the
Cornhusker.
Successful beauty queens will
be given the title of "Big 6 Beauty
Queen." Names of fraternities,
sororities, or other organizations
nominating the successful candi
dates will be included in the write
ups accompanying the picture of
each winner in the book.
Annuals of the editors who will
judge the candidates are "The
Sabitar," Missouri; "The Bomb,"
Iowa; 'The Sooner," Oklahoma;
"The Royal Purple." Kansas State;
and "The Jayhawker," Kansas

This morning Prince Hubertus
zu Locwcnstein-Wcrtheim-F r e u-

"The Role of the United States as
a European Sees It." Today's

Temple theater.
The 33 year old prince, who is
on the campus for a four weeks
stay as visiting Carnegie profes

miles in United States during his
six visits here. Early this month,
while lecturing at Washington
State college, the Austrian born
author announced that he would
seek American citizenship.
The convo speaker is exception
ally well informed on European af
fairs. Before being exiled from
Austria in 1938 his German estates
had been expropriated by the nazis
in 1934.

Council votes

Student forum control
given back to Union;
med charter approved
The Student Council voted yes
terday to return control and spon
sorship of the student forums to
the Union, and elected Robert
O'Connell, bizad junior, to the va
cancy on the council left by Frank
Roth, who did not return to school
this semester.
As there has been no ruling on
filling of vacancies to general elec
tive posts other than the Student
Council, the Council, after heated
discussion, passed a by-law pro
viding that all such irregluar va
cancies be filled by the Student
Council from nominees of any
party.
The Council also approved the
chartering of a new campus or

Reasons given for the return
of the sponsorships of forums to

Totals of fraternity,

for homecoming contest
Fourteen fraternities, 14 sorori
ties and Raymond hall filed in the
annual homecoming decorations
contest sponsored by the Inno
cents society. Deadline for filings
was at 5 p. m. yesterday.
Displays will be judged on the
eve of the Kansas game, by a
committee composed of three In
nocents, a professor of the fine
arts department, and an artist.
The decision of the judges will be
based upon the originality, appro
priateness, and general appearance
of the decorations.
The committee warns the houses
to keep away from questionable
displays. Each year some house is
ruled out of the contest because
the theme of their decorations is
considered shady, Merrill Englund
of the display committee an
nounced. Winning the contest last year
were the displays made by Delta
Gamma and Sigma Nu. The for
mer spelled "VICTORY" in ice
blocks, and the latter showed
Tarzan swinging the Missouri
Tiger by the tail. A maximum out
lay of $25 is placed on all decora
tions. To the winner of the contest
among the sororities and to the
fraternity having the best display
will go silver cups, upon which
the name of the winning house
will be engraved. Any organiza
tion winning the contest three
years in succession is permitted
to keep the trophy.
In charge of the contest is the
Innocents co .ittec composed of
Merrill Englund, Robert Waugh
and Orval Hager.
Houses entered in the contest
are:
