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.

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.

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

damsel of the gutter set your faith

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

campus the paragraph names
those who signed the protest and
goes on to say that the protest
was referred to the judiciary com

Theobald of the elections commit
