Students everywhere say
Thomas Dewey
candidate barring F. D. R.
By Paul Svoboda
In another few month the coun
try will be cast in the throes of an
other presidential campaign. Even
the headline news of tne day, tne
war in Europe, will be forced to
back from its position as the pri
mary interest of the day.
Already the wheels of the vari
ous political parties are beginning
to roll, each day with increased
momentum. The possible candi
dates for president are but dice
spinning around in a nation-wide
roulette wheel. The winning num
bers will not be'' determined until
after the conventions next sum
mer. The opinions of the American
people are evidently beginning to
crystalize. Polls taken weekly show
but little difference in opinion
from that of the preceding week
or month.
In a nation-wide survey of stu
dent opinion on the question of
"If Roosevelt is not a candidate in
1940, whom would you like to see
elected," the majority of college
students chose Thomas E. Dewey,
republican racket-buster of New
Tiork.
Dean Tebo, bfzad freshman
Garner. His term as vice
president should qualify him for
the position. He should also, due
to his position, know the exact
conditions existing in the country
at the present time and have sound
theories which would solve any
national difficulties.
Harold Wilson, arts and sciences
sophomore
I don't know a lot about Paul
McNutt except that his work in
the Philippines was very com
mendable and therefore I think
that he is the logical candidate
His general appearance and per
sonality impress me that he is the
man for the job.
Mariellen Marko, teachers senior
Dewey. His success in breaking
up the rackets in New York shbw
honesty, courage, clear thinking,
and many other essential qualities
which befit a real president.

Now that we have looked upon
this proposed campus, we must
depart to the present campus we
left behind. Even though the
present campus has fewer struc-
tures, it still fits Into the plans
ot the men who met that day.
It was their idea that the pro
posed campus be built around the
present one and that buildings be
added as needed.

By Joe Belden, Editor.
Student Opinion Survey of America.
Thomas E. Dewey, youthful New
York district attorney, is first
choice for the United States presi
dency among the nation's college
and university students, less than
a third of whom want Franklin v.
Roosevelt to run again.
Six months ago the Student
Opinion Surveys of America,
sounding board of U. S. college
youth, found in its first poll on
presidential possibilities that Paul
V. McNutt, democrat, held the lead
with a popularity of 17.7 percent,
only 2.1 percent over Dewey. To
day the racket busting republican
has climbed ahead and has with
him over a third of those colleg
ians who declare they have made
up their minds on a candidate for
1940. McNutt has dropped to sec
ond place, Vice President John N.
Garner following a close third.
The poll represents the opinions
of students without including
President Roosevelt as a possible
candidate. Staff interviewers also
asked a cross-section of students
including all age, sex, geograph
ical, and political groups, "Would
you like to see Roosevelt run for
a third term?'
Only 31.8 percent said yes. But
since last January the president
has increased his third-term ap
proval among collegians from 28.2
percent, the continuing polls of
the Student Opinion Surveys show,
To the question, "If Roosevelt is
not a candidate in 1910, whom
would you like to see elected
president?" these answers were
given:
May '39
..15.6
..17.7
Today
1. Dewey (R) .
2. McNutt (D)
3. Garner (D)
33.8
11.0
9.4
.. 9.7
(R) 3.8.
4. Vandenb'g
8.3
5. Hull (D)
8.3
7.9
All others 29.6
In both polls it has been found
that most college youth apparently
pay no attention to political party
lines. Many who say their or their
parent's sentiments lie with the
republican party select a democrat
and vice versa. Therefore, in the
results above there is no attempt
lo separate democrats, republic
ans, or any others.
Comparisons with the polls of
tne American Institute of Public
Opinion show that possible candi
dales leading among the nation'
votei s are the same among col
lege students. With republican
voters Dewey is a favorite. With
democrats Garner is the leader,
and McNutt, who has been gain
ing consistently, is second only to
me vice president. Among stu
dents, however, Garner led only in
me soutn. In every other section
of the country Dewey and McNutt
are more popular.
The answers above represent
opinions only of those students
who have decided on a possible
candidate. There is a large num
ber about four out of every ten
who say they do not yet have
any particular choice.

overpoinfed
activity men
System of limiting
participation begins to
function for first time
Awakened by the low rumble of
recent campus events, the Men's
Point board came out of hiberna
tion yesterday to show its teeth to
a not-so-eagerly awaiting public of
worried activity men and campus
politicians.
Tooth No. 1, the biggest and
sharpest, was the release for publi
cation of a list or ten men carry
ing more than their share of cam
pus activities. These ten men ana
any others discovered to be over-
pointed will be given untu xsov. zu
to straighten their affairs and
come within the legal limits of
the point system.
The list as released by the f otnt
board:
Brandon Backlund (engineering
junior) 9
Adna Dobson (arts and sci
ences senior) 9
Carl Harnsberger (bizad se
nior) 9
Clyde Martz (arts and sci
ences) 9
Edwin Milder (bizad sopho

Inior) 13
Walter Rundin (arts and sci
ences sophomore) 11
James Selzer (arts and sci
ences sophomore) 9
Paul Svoboda (journalism soph
omore) 9
On Nov. 20, if any of these men
have failed to comply with the
point system, they will be called
up before the Point board for a
hearing and a decision on their
respective cases. They will be offi
cially notified of their status by
letter today.

U. S. grand jury
indicts Leudtke
Paul Luedtke was indicted late
Tuesday night by a federal grand
jury for breaking into and stealing
government property.
Luedtke was one of two men
accused of breaking into and steal
ing two automatic pistols from
Nebraska hall last winter. The
two were also charged with break
ing and entering several Greek
houses on the campus. The federal
government took charge of the
case.
Two geology parties remain in field
near Broadwater and Red Cloud
Two of the fifteen exploration
parties that have worked in Ne-
: , - . Jt i
braska for the past year, digging
for fossil remains, are still in the
field, V. Bertrand Schultz, asslst
and director of the museum said
Saturday.
Joe Johnson, senior from Lin
coln, is in charge of the party
working near Broadwater, Work
ing with 17 WPA assistants John
son has found mastadon remains
and camel skeletons. The party
uncovered the skull of a mastadon
with a ten-foot trunk, the largest
animal of the kind the museum
has found.
At Red Cloud, Robert Wolfe,
Verdeen Clough and Harry Gun
derson, university students,- are
searching . for remains of the
world'd largest camel similar to
the kind found near there several
years ago. Gunderson is the son
of L. E. Gunderson, financial sec
retary.

Free dance after game
The Homecoming decorations
contest was revived in 1934 by the
Innocents, who have sponsored it
since then. Last year the word
"Victory" spelled in ice blocks won
a cup for the Delta Gammas, while
at the Sigma Nu house, Tarzan
swinging Mizzou's tiger by the
tail, won the other cup.
An open house and luncheon for
all old Innocents will be held Sat
urday forenoon in the Innocent
room in the Union.
Free dancing to the music of
Johnny Cox and his orchestra is
an after-the-game feature offered
by the senior men's honorary. At
5:15, the winners of the decora
tions contest will be announced and
the cups presented. The dance
will be held in the coliseum from
4:30 to 6.
Desert doctor
to appear
at convo
Paul Harrison, medico
missionary in Arabia
speaks next Thursday
Paul Harrison, the "Desert Doc
tor" who graduated from the uni
versity as an honor student to be
come one of the world's most suc
cessful surgeons, will speak at a
convocation Thursday, Nov. 16, at
11 a. m. in the Union ballroom.
Harrison is the man who, if he
is lucky, gets 37 cents for an oper
ation that would cost $1,000 in
New York, who has practiced 28
years in the "pest holes" of Arabia,
yet gaining a worldwide reputation
as an authority on spinal anes
thesia, who uses a pressure-cooker
for a sterilizer and a blowtorch
for a cauterizer.
Harrison is the doctor who could
not find an appendicitis case in
Arabia in 25 years, who discovered
that body tissues will resist flies
and dust pretty well after perform
ing dozens of rush operations in
"the hottest city in the world,"
Muscat, Arabia, who invented a
"blowtorch patch" of tough ox
tissue for hernia cases, and who
has had difficulty in operating on
women who dare not remove their
swathings of veil.
The medico-missionary grew up
in Scribner, Neb., couldn't under
stand why another doctor "sick
and tired of being poor" accepted
a profitable job as doctor of a
large oil company. "But he won't
have any fun anymore," sighed
Harrison.

'Teople are always asking us
w,,ere '
we find fossil remains,"
Schultz said. "The map should
be of interest to them."
Last year, the map shows, the
museum sent parties to southern
South Dakota, northern Illinois,
and as far south as Texas, just
below the New Mexico border. Kx
plorcrs also went to northwest
Iowa, eastern Wyoming, northern
Colorado, northern Oklahoma,
northern Texas, and southeast New
Mexico.
