Tuesday, NovemEer 19, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKAN dUoJdaL .- - QomiismL - - (SuUsdhv This balloting wasn't contested! "We're sorry to see that student sentiment is against compulsory sub scription to the DAILY. Last week's balloting at the general election shows that for every student who favored adding $1.00 to tuition fees, for subscrip tion to the NEBRASKAN, two disapproved. At the same time, of the more than two thousand voters who indicated choices, about 1,300 said they read the DAILY every time it was issued. If the voting is a good cross section of the student body, the NEBRASKAN is probably read by about 3,500 students daily ... all of which means that most students who read our erstwhile publication read their neighbor's. Anyhow, the paper is read. Concerning the use of the coliseum if it were to be opened after 6 p. m. daily, sentiment would justify opening the coliseum. Some 600 students, out of the third of the total student body that voted, indicated thej would pay $1.50 a semester for a basket if the coliseum were open in the evenings throughout the year. Granting that the 600 approvals may not mean that three times that many would use the coliseum facilities, we believe that Hearty a thousand would make use oi tnem. Even 600 additional users is enough of a demand to have the building opened every evening during the school week. DAILY members and stu dents interested in the project will do all in their power to see that the coliseum is opened. We do not guarantee anything, as there may be circum stances which forbid such action ... but we are certain of one think, that there is a demand for opening the building in the evenings; we are certain, too, that the coliseum was built to be used by students, and that if students really wish to use it during the evening, it should be open to them. Concerning the co-op housing movement, between 300 and 400 barb men are willing to take part in the co-op movement in addition to those already benefiting from it. For those 300 to 400 the DAILY and barb leaders, who have promised cooperation, shall work to make their desires realities. Admittedly late in getting started, barb leaders have promised that as soon as the election wrangle is either settled or laid on the shelf until next spring, they will work on this co-op project. We believe they wilL J 'and hope that results will mark "whatever efforts we put forth. Ojv J Jul Side by Bob Aldrick Today we grapple with the problem of getting a job. It's a long time until school is out and thousands of eager, new-suited graduates will be swarming into employment offices and annoying corporation officers with letters from their brother-in-law. But you cun't start job-seeking too early. The best way to line up a job, of course, is to smooth your path with a well-written letter. A broad survey just completed by Aunt Fanny shows that the average letter asking for a job falls short of its goal and 999 out of 999 and a half letters were not even opened before being thrown in the waste-basket. Here are some examples of let ters designed to soften the pro spective employer and put him in the right humor: Dear Mr. Schultz: What do you hear from the mob, Schultzv? Say. listen kid. I hate to out the . screws on you but lust eraduated from this citadel of Higher Yearning and my old man thinks seven years is long enough to stick around any col lege. In short, how about a job? I'm not particular. Just make me one of your vice-presidents and let me take in a directors' meet ing every now and then and you'll never hear a kick out of me. In fact, you'll never hear of me at all. as long as I get my salary which, incidentally, had better be pretty substantial as I've run up ouite a few bills around this town. Enclosed find an addressed en velope for reply. But I didn't bother to put a stamp on it I guess you can "buy your own stamps, Schultz, you old miser! Regards to the wife and kids, Joe McFooskey. The writer of the above letter obviously has no idea of what kind of job he wants. Much more con cise and well-thought-out is the snappy little missive below: Dear Mr. Blockhouse: What's this old stuff I hear about you needing a new rug salesman ? I've been hearing rumors, Block bouse . . . I am young, energetic, good looking, capable, alcoholic, and sadistic. I am a pretty hot dresser and take a bath every Saturday night I can't imagine anything more boresome than a life of selling rugs. But beggars can't be choos' ers. If you really need a class-A (See ON THE SIDE, page 4.) Barb Union to discuss political developments Recent events in the campus po litical situation will be discussed at the regular meeting of the Barb Union Tuesday evening. Ray Murray, floor leader of the barb party in the Student Council, will report on the proceedings regard ing the proposed new election, and on the reforms planned for po litical publicity. Today as sort of a breather, we think it's best to just sort of look over a few things and come to a few decisions on those things. Sort of Bugs Baer style. It has long been propounded by men that women are what they choose to call fickle. Perhaps it would be better if woman-kind would mind its makeup and make up its mind. ... After almost three years of re search we have decided that there are three kinds of women; beauti ful, intellectual, and the majority A look at this morning's new sheets makes us decide that the Japanese situation is Nippon tuck. All of this rrullabalu over the current campus election reminds us well of the bit of conver heard near a polling place in the Ozarks, If memory serves correctly it went something like this: Zeb were stuff in' tha ballot box!" "How d'ya know?" "Cause I see'd him ever time I went into vote! An approved method for coeds who want to tell the boy friend off: An oath upon your sundry ladies! May they frizzle crisp in Hades! You weren't primed to give me ermine, yet you wanted all you vermin! Consumed my clg- arettes and made me sicker, phoned me just to gripe and bicker. To cokes you would treat me. Just for ego, but never would we to tea go. May some sweet damsel of the gutter set your faith less heart a flutter you swine (See SCRAP IRONY, page 3.) Dear Editor: It seems that in the issue of the DAILY NEBRASKAN for Novem ber 13th, the day after the election, a part of one news report on the election was misinterpreted by many of the students. This has to do with the last paragraph in 1 1 1 f . A 11 ,I,a W n me arucie leuuig ui uic vuu votes being thrown out on the ag campus the paragraph names those who signed the protest and goes on to say that the protest was referred to the judiciary com mittee by Burton Thiel and Dale Theobald of the elections commit tee.
