BETTY BACHMAN
Nebraska Sweetheart
Candidates
reveal hopes,
likes, dislikes
In a blaze of color and pageantry
the Nebraska Sweetheart for 1940
will be revealed at the Kosmet
Klub Revue tomorrow afternoon.
Envied by all coeds, she will stand
on the stage typifying those fem
inine qualities most admired by
Nebraska men.
The ideas of the four girls selec
ted as candidates for such an
honor are definitely of news value,
and when interviewed for the
DAILY, the coeds revealed their
likes, dislikes, expectancies, and
hopes as follows:
Betty Bachman, Omaha, expects
an escort to be a good conver
sationalist and to possess a sense
of humor in addition to being a
"fairly good" dancer. A junior
in fine arts college, Betty claims
ivviation for her favorite hobby and
Hiding as her favorite sport. Ham
is tops when it comes to food.
After graduation Betty intends to
enter the field of commercial art,
preferably in Texas. Standing
5-2 and a brunette, Betty has a
bust measure of 34 in. and a 35 in.

Lois Ftiedebach, Kansas City,
Wo., likes boys who are "lots of
fun, good dancers and good mix
ers." This candidate lists dancing
as her hobby and likes to watch
football games. After some delib
eration she selected T-bone steaks
as her favorite food. Lois hopes
to enter some kind of business or
become a secretary, upon gradua
tion from the college of business
administration. She weighs 120
pounds and wears a size 14 dress

What, no turkey? Darn the
president anyway! Why can't he
leave Thanksgiving where it was,
or why can't I live in Nebraska
instead of one of those states,
where the governor, loyal to his
president, has declared Thanks
giving will be the 23rd. When all
loyal Nebraskans go gaily home
to their turkey, cranberries, and
incidentally, raspberries, what
about me?
First, all my friends, true to
their home state attend their
state's schools. They wia be home
one week before I am. What the
society page calls the "gay week
end for the young college crowd'
will be over just one week before
I hit home in knee-high socks.
There will be no one to impress
with my Nebraska stories except
my folks, and the stories aren't
exactly the type to impress them
anvwav. The town, if it can be
so dignified, will have settled back
to its normal course of business
and, most important, the turkey
will have been carved and eaten,
I'll have chicken on the 29th, be

students with tales of

Tales of the "Arabian Nights"
were spun to students in the twen
tieth century manner yesterday
morning at convocation, when Dr,
Paul Harrison, medical missionary
and Miracle Man of Muscat, told
of his experiences in Arabia.
Dr. Harrison said that hf; thinks
the Arabs are a great race, and
have a marvelous future before
them if we only can help them,
He told of his experiences on
desert trips and of the peculiar
psychology of the nomadic people,
Trips into the desert.
Speaking of his trips into the
desert, Dr. Harrison said that there
was just one way to get there
and that wasn't by streamlined
train, but by the oldest means of
transportation, the cameL He told
of his experiences in carrying
water for these desert trips. When
he ordered goat skins to carry his
water in, he inaverdently bought
new ones. Consequently his water

campus thought.
Only 17 percent of the country's
collegians believe that higher edu-
cation should be mainly technical
and professional training. The rest
say they prefer a curriculum that
will embrace a general education
rather than one that will produce
men and women primarily skilled
in the trades and professions. But
37 percent of this last group make
it clear that their choice is the
school that presents a blending of
the two extremes.
Since the weekly polls of the
surveys are all based on a coast
to coast sampling determined
from actual enrollments, these
results represent the opinions of
the million and a half students
in all kinds of colleges, both
technical and otherwise. The
surveys are conducted In co

Sweetheart,
Prince will
make debuts
14 groups seek cups,
hold dress rehearsal
in coliseum tonight
Fourteen acts go into dress re
hearsal this evening in the coli
seum for the annual Kosmet Klub
Fall Revue, presentation of Ne
braska Sweetheart, and presenta
tion of Prince Kosmet in the Lib
erty theater at 3 p. m. tomorrow.
From among the four candi
dates whose names appeared on
the "Sweetheart ballot" in the re
cent student election, one will be
presented in an elaborate cere
mony and led to the throne by
Prince Kosmet, the choice of the
club among men students who
have done most in past Kosmet
productions.
It's secret.
Secrecy surrounds the actual
presentation program, which tra
ditionally is kept under cover until
the conclusion of the show, when
it is brought on to climax the 14
fraternity and sorority acts. As
the Sweetheart is led to her throne
and presented with flowers by
King Kosmet, alias, club president,
the entire audience will join to
gether in singing "Sweet Nebras
ka Sweetheart
Not trusting too much to th
judgement of the audience in judg
ing applauses, the club is featur
ing for the first time this year a
scientific Applause-O-Graph which
will indicate on a circular dial the
volumn of claps or razzberries
that go to each act. Lighted with
Christmas tree lights and built
from rather ragged but sturdy
timber, such as to withstand the
clapmeter strain, the instrument
will record the applause in a
newly invented sound unit. This
unit is equal to 20 well rounded
claps of unit volume.
Rehearsal schedule.
Tonight's rehearsals will be
scheduled as follows:

This i3 not the order in which
the acts will be run off in the show
tomorrow. The arrangement for

facilitate the band in preparing
numbers.
To the winners of each fratern
