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

part of the second floor will be

laboratory to be used by graduate
students.

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.

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,

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!"

trip to Lincoln mills
Alpha Kappa Psi, national bus'

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.

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.

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.

Lowell Devoe, superintendent of
schools at Plattsmouth represent
ing the life enrichment courses.
?nd Hcrlert H. Scott, president of
the National University Extension
Association representing that
group.
Welcome by Chancellor.

of the pioneers in instructional
materials, methods and content.
