S Absentee vote
digest on file
in Daily office
The DAILY NEBRASKAN has
on file a Digest of Registration
and Absentee Ballot Laws. It
contains instructions for out-state
students voting. The absentee
ballot has been supplied by many
states as a part of the democratic
process to improve voting.
According to the DAILY edi
tor, Norman Harris, scores of stu
dents have not been voting in the
past "because of misunderstand
ing as to what absentee voting in
volves. College students arc under
the same, if not greater, duty as
other citizens to vote whenever
possible."
A pamphlet containing the di
gest is on file in the DAILY NE
BRASKAN office for anyone's in
spection every afternoon except
Friday and Sunday from 1 to 4
p. m. before October 28. Out of
state students of voting age are
urged to come down and look over
the material.

By Marjorie Bruning.
"The most important thing
college student of today can learn
is how to read," said Dr. Morris
Fishbein in an interview yester
day preceding his lecture in the
Union ballroom. "We musi evaiu
ate and analyze everything we
read news, advertisements, and
books, by studying the technique
used in slogans and the basis of
all propaganda."
Dr. Fishbein, who is famous as
a debunker of quacks and medical

which was recently introduced be

in relation to publicity and propa

City of Lincoln.
Beginning with today's Issue of the DAILY NEBRASKAN and
continuing throughout the football season, a football doping contest,
(sponsored by Lincoln merchants, in cooperation with this publica
tion) will be held on each week end when a certain local football
team, (representing the University of Nebraska under the name of
the Cornhuskers) engages in a gane upon its home field, located on
the campus of said university.
The names of seven games to be played throughout the nation
this week end are hidden within the advertisements on the back
page of this publication; with the discovery of the names of those
games, (seven in number) the contestant will have completed the
first step toward the winning of one of the three prizes, depending,
of course, upon the contestant's ability to dope the games thereon
listed.
The prizes, $3, $2, and $1, respectively, will be awarded to those
three contestants who most accurately predict the outcome of the
games listed.
