The DAILY NKHRASKAN Wednesday, December 13, 1931 s From the past, woman's creed astounds modernity by Chris Peterson. As 'lil Abner would put it, "Oh, happy collidge days." It was back in the good old days Most of us were still addicts to the bottle of the milk rariety. Gay young blades courted in parlors under the watchful eye of a chap eron and petting was confined to cats and dogs. Hustle bustle. Women of that time hustled around in caboose like bustles and men applauded the show of an an kle at the burlesque. Gay times were had by all at sorority-fraternity taffy pulls, and the swing cats of that time were just begin ning to get a taste of jaiz. That was just before prohibition and jazz began to convert this world of ours into something abhorred by the Temperance Unions and the Ladies Kensington. Girls creed. In those gay and reckless times, evidently university officials feel ing that the women of the school were in danger of contamination issued a "girls creed," which was to instill the Nebraska girl with the ideals of womanhood. Anyway, here it is as it was: A NEBRASKA GIRL'S CREED. I believe that the Scholarship Standards of the University are maintained by high personal standards. I condemn the prac tice of cribbing and of reciting in class with one's book open, and believe anything but honest ana conscientious work is a waste of time. I favor working toward the honor system at the University of Nebraska, Not too much food. I believe that health is of pri mary importance in one's life and that we should therefore seriously consider and care for it, by ob serving eight hours of sleep each night, one hour of outdoor exercise each day, a carefully balanced diet with no eating between meals, and by avoiding over fatigue and un cleanliness. No cussing! I believe that a girl is judged very largely by her conversation, especially by her choice of words and tone of voice. I believe that a college girl's conversation should be intelligent and clean, and should consist largely of discussion of men and clothes. I believe that she should at all times avoid the use of coarse slang and that she should never swear. What? No umph? I believe that dress expresses per sonality and therefore in choosing our clothes we should consider taste and appropriateness. I be lieve that satin pumps, lace stock ings, feather hats, silk or velvet cli?sses, net or georgette blouses arc not appropriate at school. I believe that rouge and powder should never be applied in public. 1 advocate the use of hair nets. Indulge moderately I believe that every girl should engage in at least one outdoor sport a week; this need not be an organized sport. I believe that she should attend as many of the worth while plays, concerts, etc., as possible and that she may indulge moderately in harmless amusements. I believe that friendship is based J. : Remdeling makes room for grod students Room for three more graduate research workers will be available in Avery hall when remodeling work now being done is completed. By taking out one partition and putting in a new one a new office for Dr. Hamilton, chairman of the chemistry department, is being built, using space formerly occu pied by a storeroom and a re search laboratory. Dr. Hamilton's former office, situated in the north part of the second floor will be converted into a new research laboratory to be used by graduate students. Send Him. Flowers For The Party Danielson Floral Co. upon an earnest desire for com panionship. If a girl honestly wishes to have friends she will first of all show herself friendly to all people whom she meets. I believe that absolute sincerity and trust are the first and last word in true friendship. Be democratic I believe that democracy in Ne braska can best be shown by the attitude of girls on the campus. I believe the democratic girl will show a helpful friendly attitude to all with whom she comes in contact. I believe she will consider that being in the same class with a person serves as an introduction and therefore she should consider her classmates as acquaintances. I believe . . . Well, time has flown and with it the ideals of the typical Ne braska girl. Voting (Continued from Page l.) office filed in the office of the director of student activities, John K. Selleck, following the procedure used in filing for all elections supervised by the stu dent council. At the Mondav nieht interview with Professor Lantz, NEBRAS KAN reporters learned that the ballot count was unquesuonaDiy, to quote the council advisor, "in favor of Miss Euzanetn waugn, that the ballots were counted by the colonel ana myseir.-' Yesterday afternoon at the meet inc. called for the purpose of re counting ballots, and to which Pro fessor Lantz brought the ballots, both Colonel Thuis ana rroressor Lantz stated that the whole ru mor was an absolute questioning of their respective integrities. Refuse to Recount. In addition, after refusing later to hold the recount, Thuis wrote the following statement for publi cation: "I have been advised that there Is some sentiment going about that a mistake has been made in giving out the result of the ballot for Honorary Colonel and that a recount is wanted. No mistake has been made as to the result, which is now known to everybody. "I thall consider a recount provided someone or anyone, under his own signature will write me a letter asking for the recount and will state his rea sons in detail why he wants a recount. If such a letter or let ters are written, I shall reserve the right to publish them in the press together with the results of the recount. "It is my understanding that a report of the result of the elec tion has been turned over to the Student Council and that this body is satisfied with the re port." The Daily, after interviewing Lantz and learning that Thuis' as sent was necessary for a recount, obtained Thuis' assent in writing and notified Prof. Lantz it had done so. Thuis' assent was in the form of a note to Prof. Lantz and stated that a recount "seemed to be in order"; that he would meet with Lantz and a i"epresentative of the Daily to recount the ballots. "Integrity at stake." When the supposed re-counter assembled, Lantz and Thuis stood together in saying their integrity was at stake; stood to gether in saying they would not participate in future ballot counting if a recount was held now. The Student Council, at its next meeting has the question to decide whether the ballots are its prop erty or the property of the mill tary department. If the ballots are the property of the council, it may or may not vote to hold a recount If the ballots are the property of the military department, a recount will be held upon presentation of a signed petition to Colonel Thuis, De-feet- (Continued from Page 1.) I mean. He is red in the face. "Get out of rank and march up and down the mall until I tell you to stop," he says. I am going to to ask why but think better of the idea . . . and my feet still hurt. Just as I shoulder my piece and muster my waning energy in order to start, some guy, he must be a sergeant, yells, "Stack arms for a ten minute break." I put my arms on top of each other like Mahatma does and walk for a drink. After a long drink of cool water (that is very bad for a hangover) I lay down on the cool grass and proceed to fall asleep. I dream that I am the poor little grasses and that I am getting sore from all the feet walking on me. I am crying out in pain as I wake up. Again to my surprise I find the shiny officer in the boots kick ing me in the side. He says, "In case you didn't know it, bud, it is time to fall in again." Being a bit groggy from sleep and everything, my mind isn't quite up to par so I say, "Fall in where?" He shows me quick enough with the point of his ten dollar saber. We march on, and on, and on. Two full" hours of it. All I can hear is: "Hut, two, three, four, hut , , . hut. My feet hurt!" Bixod honorary plans trip to Lincoln mills Alpha Kappa Psi, national bus' ness administration fraternity, w visit the Lincoln Steel Mills, Dv cember 17, on their annual fall field trip. General Manager Earl T. Luff, plant manager of the Lin coln mill, will be in charge of the visit, and has promised a unified, well rounded trip for the mem bers. Harold Swan, Alpha Kappa Psi president, expects all members of the fraternity to take advantage of the educational visit to the mills. Gerald Spahn and Swan are in charge of the committee of field trips and have made arrangements for the outing. providing he gives personal con sent to hold the recount. In the opinion of Professor Lantz, the ballots belong to the military department ,<ho they were in his possession previous to yesterday. He also stated Uiat "if any of the candidates requested a recount, we would hold one, feel ing ourselves obligated to do so." The question of integrity for warded by both Thuis and Lantz was the deciding factor in post poning any consideration of re counting. Monday evening, when visited by DAILY reporters, Lantz did not mention the subject of in tegrity; said only that if Colonel Thuis agreed to a recount, he would co-operate in recounting the ballots. The ballots were brought to the NEBRASKAN office in an en velope by Lantz and were on the DAILY editor's desk during the discussion. The understanding be fore the meeting was that the meeting was called to recount the ballots. They are now in Colonel Thuis possession. Q. Can A Dress Shirt Be Comfortable? A.

Other Arrow Dress Shirts $3.$o to $3 50 Christmas is YMCA topic The general topic of Christmas will be discussed at the weekly meeting of the university Y. M. C. A., which is to be held next Fri day at the Hi-Y building. Follow ing the decision made at the last "Y" retreat the group will com bine this week's retreat with Fri day's meeting. Bob Howard will be in charge of the arrangements for Friday. "Y" members and other students intending to be present should notify Mr. Howard or C. D. Hayes by tomorrow noon. Friday noon the "Y" Bible discussion groups will meet in the basement of for mer museum. All students are wel come to attend meetings of these groups at which 10 cent luncheons consisting of three sandwiches and fmit are served. Communism (Continued from Page 1.) letins and guides which are the organs of those organizations ac cused of having communistic ten dencies by the Dies Committee. However, no trace of facts showing such bulletins and book lets are used in class work in any course could be found. Profes sors teaching courses which deal with consumer problems said thev did not use such booklets in class study and discussion but only con sidered when they were men tioned in text books. "However," me professor added, "There wiil probably be copies of such book lets in the biz ad library, liut why should we worry about that These consumers guides have been published for several years now and I dare say those who read them have not become commu nists." Off on a tangent From a professor in economics, "I think the Dies Committee is again off on a tangent. Why should they accuse a group of be ing communistic for printing a bulletin which is based on scien tific findings showing one product to be better than another? Opin ion, and this is purely opinion founded on research, should not be decried as being communistic in a country which is supposed to be democratic with freedom of thought and speech." Favors plan. "The fact that communists may be members of these consum ers groups should not discredit the groups," said a professor of eco nomics. "Even if their publica tions do discredit free enterprise and I am not sure that they do, I favor it if it helps the consumer." Terhaps the most significant outcome of the committee's Mon day meeting was the fact that for the first time, they hinted what they believed to be a communistic tendency, namely, discrediting of free enterprise. All professors were heavy in criticism of the fact that the com mittee has been making accusa tions since its founding without defining what It means by com munistic and democratic. Lost; between N.Y. and Lincoln, Awgwan covers Lost, 1,500 Awgwan covers! Somewhere between New York and Lincoln, the carefully printed covers are probably in someone's way. Someone, somewhere, who doesn't know what they are or what to do with them, is probably cursing their existence; while here the editorial staff of the publica tion is cursing their non-existence. The magazine is all ready for distribution all but the covers. One-hundred of the covers got here all right, but until the 1,500 miss ing ones are found, the Awgwan cannot come out. Betty Roach, optimistic editor, hopes that the magazine will be ready within the next three or four days. Extension use some of these methods he de scribed in the extension division.
