Election- (Continued from Page 1.) politicians see in todays election a significant tapping of party sup port. Since the sororities are not per mitted to ballot for orator, this election Is a better determinate of the actual number in each faction than are any other of the major campus contests. Barbs contend... On election eve as each party counts its support, the Barb Un ion leaders state: "We believe we have a prettv eood chance to turn the tables this year. We have the best orator in the group, an ex perienced speaker. He Is a con scientious man with a high scho lastic average to back him. As to the Innocents it can hardly be de nied that there are worthy men among the 2.000 barbs. It is up to the junior and senior men 10 poini them out." Progressives assert... Say the Progressives regarding their candidate: ".Bryce Smith has all of the qualifications for the post of Orator. He is a high rank ing member of his class, has the backing and approval of law school's largest fraternity, and his ability as a leader is attested by his being president of last year's freshman law class and by mem bership on the law college board of contiol. Liberals say. . . Liberal leaders contend: "Tho we are at a disadvantage at hav ing to write in the name of our candidate on the ballot, we are confident of victory in the Ora tor contest. Our ranks have In creased thia year, and with the smell stirred up by factional is sues earlier thia week, we predict some support from unaffiliates. Likewise Olson Is a capable speaker and on merit alone will carry support in the election." Menaers aets fellowship Marie C. Mengers, instructor in Romance languages, has received a fellnwshiD at Columbia univer sity for next year. She will com plete work for her doctor or pnu osophy degree.

The university educator was guest speaker on the afternoon program of the Nebraska Associa tion of Optometrists. His topic was "Slow Reader Problems in the Schools." An educational skill. "Reading," he told the group, "is the most important of the educa tional skills. The slow reader is handicapped by his lack of ability to cover the educational assign ments, and consequently has fewer facts and ideas with which to meet life's problems." Approximately 90 percent of the average student's study time is de voted to reading, Dr. Bedell pointed out. His research at the university shows that slow read ers are usually poor readers. They understand poorly; they develop a dislike for reading, and become more and more removed from the pulse of life as portrayed in the printed page. Smith wins Brownells $100 award Herbert A. Smith, principal of Burr high school the last two years, has been awarded the $100 Herbert Brownell scholarship at the university for next year. The award has been provided by the family of the late Professor Brownell, who was for many yearr a member of the teachers college faculty. It is given each year to a student whose major is in the field of science teaching. Smith is a graduate of Clatonia high school in 1934, and an honor graduate of the university in 1938. He was a student with Professor Brownell during his last year. Dean F. E. Henzlik of teachers college, Mark Delzell of the de partment of secondary education, and Mrs. Brownell of Lincoln made the scholarship selection this year.

Social democrats, he stated, have become increasingly powerful recently, having ad vanced in elections in church as semblies and in local civic elec tions. In some cases, he reported, the socialists even received a ma jority in the church council. So cial democracy has also grown in other Scandinavian countries. Although for a time the labor movement was strongly influenced by Marxism, and later by German social democracy, the present trend is toward English labor movements. The new attitude, starting in the 20's. waa marked j by attacks on the Marxists and a j "tendency toward a transition where interpretations of life could give souls new vision." mm friiui bit. Due in part to the efforts of church leaders, Dr. Westin de clared that labor leaders have been brought more into the church. He cited one instance of two labor leaders who appeared in a church assembly and addressed the audi ence. Concluding his talk, he said, "We have all the ideals of America in Scandinavia." Including politi cal freedom, freedom of speech and print, and freedom of religion, he dwelt on the last to say that they had "most complete practical freedom."
