Russell plans Indian study Psychologist to leave Friday for New Mexico Dr. Roger Russell of the psy chology department is turning In dian this summer. "I may lose my scalp, but I'll have a collection of rousing war-whoops to liven up my Psych 70 classes next fall," sa ys Russell. Professor Russell is leaving Fri day to study the culture of the Hopi Indiana in New Mexico. The research is financed by a grant from the Social Science Research Council.

Beauty and related subjects come next, containing candid shots and pictures of the six beau ty queens, Maisie Imig, Eleanor Crawford, Maxine Fuller, Kay Parks, Eleanor Berner, and Holly Shurtleff. The soldiers, too, are a little cramped for marching room in the yearbook, with less space than usual devoted to the military or ganizations, and with a few snap shots of activities thrown in for good measure. Men's sports are adequately provided for, but again, in the evi dent economy theme, there are less pictures of football action than usual, and the track pictures include more shots from other Big Six schools than from Nebraska. The best section. Book three is one of the better sections of the yearbook. Organi zation pictures like all the rest are a bit crowded, but the informal shots are excellent. House presi dents change every semester, and so to give everybody as fair a deal as possible, the Cornhusker labeled a few of last semester's prexys with this semester's names. Pictures of the house mothers this year are at the back of the Greek section instead of with the organization as usual. Barb pic tures are quite good except for the monotonous large groups pictured at the end of the section. Applications due for scholarship Nebraska Building chapter of the Associated General Contract ors of America offers this year for the first time a $100 scholar ship to juniors and seniors in the Department of Architecture. Ap plications must be made before 5 p. m. Thursday. The scholarship for the 1940-41 will be awarded on the basis of a test prepared by the committee. For following years the award will be given on the basis of solutions to a practical problem. Twelve students have responded with their applications and at least tweiity are expected. Applications should be made at Prof. B. F. Hemphill's olfice in the Temple. Winner of the scholarship will be announced Monday or Tuesday. West Virginia beauty goes to Hollywood as coed Queen Harvard brings night club hostess to premiere for gag; Bettie Cox near end of final eliminations GALESBURG. 111., May 21. By i exhibitor; Vaughn Claser and special wire to the DAILY from I Lvnne Overman. Paramount ae- Richard deBrown, editor. Climax ing the festivities and celebration accompanying the premiere of "Those Were the Days," the judges from Hollywood yesterday selected Mary Lou Bullard, University of West Virginia sophomore, Kappa Kappa Gamma, as the most typical All-American College Queen. Nebraska's Bettie Cox was among the last to be eliminated from the original field of H. Jean McKenzie, University of Caliofrnia at Los Angeles, was given honor able mention. Bettie was one of the four girls selected to appear on the "Battle of Sexes" program last night. J. Theodore Reed, producer-director of "Those Were the Days," which was premiered here last night, told the DAILY that he could not Imagine a more difficult decision to make, since all the girls were unusually attractive and bo well representative of the cream of American coeds. Other judges were Tom Ronan, veteran movie "The bizad independent faction cannot run candidates in the elec tion Thursday, because it repre sents one college and not the uni versity as a whole, and therefore is not a political party," ruled Prof E. W. Lantz, faculty advisor to the Student Council yesterday. Thus, the three bizad independ ent candidates, who were filed, will not have their names on the ballot tomorrow unless the Stu dent Council in meeting today overrules Lantz' decision. Said Professor Lantz of this possibility: "If the Council overrules my de cision, I'll appeal to the faculty committee headed by Dean Thompson." The bizad faction was provisionally approved last week by the judiciary and election com mittees of the Council, subject to protest. Lantz refused to make public the names of those filing the protest. Opinion divides. Council opinion about Lantz de cision was divided. Said Merrill Englund, Progressive, and chair man of the judiciary committee: "It seems to me that the deci sion about the legality of the party is up to the Council. After all, Mr. Lantz is our advisor, no! our dictator." "Mr. Lantz hasn't the power to rule anything as an advisor. He merely has power to advise," said. (See FACTION, page 2.)

Judging of the beauties was tem porarily disrupted when an un known contestant was diseovere 1 present. The unidentified one prov ed to be Miss Evelyn Turner hostess in a Boston night spot, whom Russell Bowie, president of The Harvard Lampoon, had brought to Galesburg as a gag. Miss Turner's comment, when the joke was made known, "There is nothing like a nice spring tiip to brighten a girl's life. I have never gone to college." Harvard's Bowie merely said, "I'm sorry she. didn't win." There will be an ag college caucus tonight at 5 outside Ag hall. All candidates for ag po sitions are expected to be there.
