The announcement that Larry Clinton has been signed to play for the Union's second anniversay dance at the Coliseum May 1 should gamer several thousand student votes of confidence for Union Director Kenneth Van Sant. His tireless and sin cere efforts to maintain a Union program atuned to the tastes and interests of the student body have been eminently successful ever since the building's opening in May, 19S8, and now for this celebration on the eve of Ivy Day he has bagged one of the big gest orchestras in the country to place as a gift at the dancing feet of all those Cornhusker skeptics who thought it could never happen here. Things musically took a definite upswing for campus Big Band fans when the N club obtained Jimmie Lunceford for its first annual jamboree, coming up next April 19. Lunceford undeniably has one of the more able swing aggregations in the business today, and bis name is headline news on anybody's dance floor. But if he can create a stir in university entertainment circles, Larry Clinton's appearance here ought to blow up a regular gale at the box office. Nor should one overlook the po tential effect which Mr. Van Sant's little venture may have on other university parties of the future, including those sponsored by student organizations. Financial success would prove a contention long held by that omnigenous Society for the Bringing of Bigger Name Bands to Nebraska; namely, that a sponsor can have as profitable a party by paying more for a big orchestra that will draw a large crowd as by paying less for a mediocre band that will attract only mediocre attendance and in doing so make a great many more students happy. With such proof, university authorities might allow or ganizations to cast out bigger monetary bait in the future for dance orchestras whose renown can al most guarantee gate receipts sufficient to make up for budget increases. Dear Editor: According to Thursday's DAILY,, both men and women will be permitted to be candidates and vot ers for the Ivy Day orator election. While the writer is a very ardent advocate of woman suffrage m most instances, he finds that he must draw the line here. The women as we all know without any as sistance or help from the men elect the May queen, who is presented at the morning exercises of the Ivy Day exercises. The men on this campus are perfectly willing to let the women select the May Queen. In other words, the young lady so selected is her fellow coed's idea of the most representative woman on the Nebraska campus. Then it is only sensible that men should be per mitted to select one of their own number for a like purpose. After all, oratory is traditionally a man's field-and the men should be able to select the better orator of the candidates presented. It looks like men should be able to select at least a few officers on this campus without feminine interference. The women are permitted to select a representative from their number to represent them in the Ivy Day ccr- Candid Clippings SS Morton Margolin SSSSSS The alumni office of the University of Wiscon sin found eut last week that it had played the part of cupid in bringing two former students together. Last June, a dapper young fellow walked into the alumni office and inquired about the whereabouts of a girl he had had a couple of dates with in col lege. He got the address, and last week the office received a letter, announcing the forthcoming mar riage of the couple, and thanking the office for its co-operation ia bringing them together. Curfew rules were in order for the men si Oklahoma university last week. Oklahoma's presi dent BUaell issued an order that all men had to be in their fraternity houses by 10 p. m. every night Occasioning the special order is the Now-or-never week a leap year Institution. Coeds have until 10:90 to get to their houses, and dancing is per mitted in sororities every night until 10:50. And speaking of leap year events, the "Oregon Daily Emerald" reports that the prize joke of the evening at a leap year dance at the University of Southern California came when a collegian, tired of seeing coeds put on make-up in public, calmly pulled out an electric shaver and started to shave himself in the middle of the dance floor.

From the "Washington Daily" comes the story of the two Kansas youngsters who went to th college infirmary. One was well and the other one wasn't. They walked in together only to have the well one pounced upon by the doctors and nurses and dragged off to bed. The sick one did not follow his companion into the sick ward. As a result, the one who was well spent the next few days trying to get out, and the one who was sick spent the next few days trying to get in the infirmary to see him. Adolph the man with a mustache who missed a great opportunity with the fuller brush company in this country, trying to rubberize germany's bor ders, me thinks that's stretching a good thing too far. he has added his iit to the europoan political pot. and it was pepper, now he's caught in the draft of his own sneeze. Danes are vicious, have you heard ? the last war they were in. ten thousand danes came through the grass, and they came, and they came, still they came. Hell, not one four leaf clover, but what's the difference? Hitler's in den mark now. yes, there's something rotten in den tnark. somebody shoots down a plane, a plane shoots down somebody, they're both down, just like any prizefight, ships at sea. troop ships, torpedo, ships at sea become ships under sea. see ? men mad. baths before Saturday night, diplomats on secret missions, trying to catch the dove of peace, come back with last year's olive branch, troops in fierce combat, fighting to see who sits in at the next game of cards, guns shoot big shells, far. so damn far they never come down anywhere, then there is gas. 52c a gallon in europe. dictators. large of stomach and ample of chin, give pep talks, go in their and blast heil out of 'em boys, propaganda, pamphlets come flying out of the sky. tell you that you are starv ing, and right after a steak dinner, too. good ferti lizer for next years strawberry patch, russians rush ing around, getting no place. Not headed anywhere. Just want to get there before sundown, air raids, blackouts, what difference, people go to bed early over there anyhow, bombs, big noise, lot's of flash, not flash gordon. then everythings all blown up. looks like a quiet fourth of July. Dutch boys sit around, smart got thumbs stuck in holes in dikes, if enemy comes, pulls out thumbs, enemy wish they were good boys. Hell, man, its horrible war. Honorary offers $500 fellovship Alpha Lambda Delta opens competition here; members are eligible A (500 graduate fellowship has been made available by the na tional society of Alpha Lambda Delta, women's honorary scholas tic society, and is now open to members of the Nebraska chap ter. The winner of the national con test, announced in June, will be the student who ranks highest in "excellence and scholarship."

Miss Winona Perry of the de partment of educational psychol ogy and measurements, sponsor of the local chapter, will assist Miss Hosp select the highest rank ing candidates at Nebraska. Roundup (Continued from Fage 1.) the same time Belgian officials announced that their nation would put up a determined resistance if invaded or if any type of an ulti matum were presented to them. The Western Front . . . ... is quiet. Certain jittery French circles fear a possible at tack on the Maginot line. How ever, the only activity on this front was increased artillery activity in the region of the Vosges moun tains. Few expect any attack on either the Maginot or the Sieg fried line at present Military lead ers, even if they did not learn it during the World war. have rea lized the uselessness of a concen trated frontal attack on such heavily fortified positions. All of which increases the possibility of activity either in the Balkans or the low countries. With the small number of troops required to hold the fortifications, either of the powers could release sufficient troops to campaign elsewhere. Arguing against the possibility of immediate activity on another emonies. The men should b permitted to have the same privilege. Those in power will do a great service to the student body if they change the rules of the election of Ivy Day orator to Include only men students as candidates and voters for Ivy Day orator. This is the rule that has usually beea followed in the past and jw good tmn b ivhisvsd by changing the rule now. Sincerely, Ry E.

Then too, there is soma doubt as to whether his surpttMees of two vital supplies, oil and gasoline, arc suffi cient to enable him to carry on a dual offensive, In Scandanavia and the low countries. Yet vs know so little of Hitler's mental workings, and so little of what has been done along the Belgian frontier In the way of fortification;; that it is hazardous to assert that no im mediate activity is threatening in another sector. New college mag features Russell Featured In the first issue Varsity, a publication now on the newsstands, and designed prin cipally for college and faculty readers, is a defense of his stand by Bertrand Russell. Russell, now a stormcenter of a riotious educational controversy in New York, was denied an appoint ment to the philosophy department of the College of the City of New York because of his views on love and marriage. The Englishman in the article denies any personal mo tive in his stand against the action of Judge McGechan, who revoked his appointment. Come to Sunday, April 14 first Baptist lllk aad K niffna H.
