DAILY NEBRASKAN
Shavers prefer lather method
to electric razor, poll shows
By Al Jacobs. 1
' When it comes to shaving, the
majority of men quizzed ' by tti&
DAILY'S inquiring reporter agreed
that Edison wasted his time in
venting electricity. Most of the
boys who have something on
their face to be shaved prefer a
safety razor and brushleas shaving
(Bream to an electric razor.
Living conditions are the big
gest factor deciding what kind of
razor the fellow uses. John
Mackey and Ken Ebzery solve
their shaving problems easily. "I
have the shaving cream and John
has the brush," says Ken. "That
makes it an even trade since we
get the razor from one of the fel
Iowa down the hall."
Getting by with the least trou
ble is Ned Eastlack. "Whenever
I want to shave I just take a damp
wash rag and scrub.
Frank Koch is also a safety ra
fcor man. He used to shave with
an electric razor but he had to sell
it for ned of cash, but he didn't
get enough money from the sale
to buy a brusn.
"Getting up at 7:30 needing
Bhave and wanting to make an 8
o'clock, I find the only way it can
be done is with an electric razor.
says Harold Whelan on behalf of
the outnumbered electric razor en
dorsers.
Walt Rundin is emphatically in
favor of safety razors. "I would
not contaminate my skin with eJ
electric razor. When I finish shav
ing .with an electric razor, I feel
like a man, and I have that skin
the girls just love to touch."
Dick Nash and Robert Hoppe
differ in their choice of razors but
the conditions of shaving are the
a me. Dick's monthly shave has
always been with an electric razor
because that is the only kind he
ould borrow, while Robert uses
the safety razor once a month be
aus he thinks it removes the
fuzz better.
Arnold Smith uses a straight
edge when he is home because he
feels safer about his mustache, but
he uses a safety razor minus brush
at school. "I never shaved with
an electric razor because I never
owned one or had a roommate that
owned one."
Lee Butler uses an electric razor
since he received ono for a pres
ent, but Larry Heikes prefers a
safety razor for a close shave.
Reg Davtes' experience witn
razors is limited to. use twice a
week but he likes an electric razor
because "it is the easiest way
out."
"A safety razor is my choice,"
says Douglas Verner, a man with
a real beard. "I like a quick shave
so I seldom use a brush.

Marine with perfect physique
is former engineering student
The Marine corps office at San
Diego, Calif., announced that it
had located one man in thousands
a recruit with virtually perfect
physique, a product of the Ne
braska prairies.
This perfectly healthy young
man is Bernard A. Nelson, formerly
of Bristow, who was enrolled in
the College of Engineering in
1935-36 and 1938-39.
Twenty-four years old, Nelson
is five feet, 10 inches tall and
weighs 165 pounds.
For five years prior to his de
parture for the Pacific northwest
he had alternately attended the
University of Nebraska and
punched cattle in the Jackson Hole
country of Wyoming. He finally
abandoned his goal of a college
degree after two years in the uni
versity. He loved life In the open and
that, he said, induced him to seek
a career as a leatherneck. The
formula Nelson gives is simple.
The main ingrediants are rough
food, an outdoor existence, and
avoidance of liquor and tobacco.

PROF. C. H. PATTERSON
Professor Lester B. Orfield of
the law college has recently been
appointed consultant of the Amer
ican Law Institute on the subject
of "Evidence." The institute is
drafting a model code of evidence
which will deal with such subjects
as expert medical witness.
Prof. Orfield is also a member
of the Nebraska Supreme Court
Advisory committee which is au
thorized to advise that court with
respect to changing the Nebraska
rules of evidence.
4C students,
tho, had better
go to class
CHICAGO. 111. (ACT). Are
you just an average student, or
one whose grades are below C7
If so, you had better go to class.
Are you in the upper twenty-five
percent of the grade brackets? If
so, it doesn't make much differ
ence whether you go to class or
not, you'll be likely to pull down
'A's" and 'B's" just the same.
This is not mere advice. It !s
statistical information compiled by
assistants of Dean Aaron J. Brum
baugh of the University of Chi
cago, from the records of college
students, 204 of whom had taken
"R's" in one or more survey I
courses, and an equal number of
v. horn had done the work in the
course. An "R" grade indicates a
student took the course but not
the final examination.
Women Lower.
The statistics also proved that
university women don't get as
good grades in the college as men.
Dean Brumbaugh said that one
possible answer might be that they
paiticipate more in extra-curricular
activities than men do. Hj
didn't offer other possible explana
tions. The table of results of the sur
vey also revealed that there wasn't
a significant difference in the
grades made by women who took
courses for point ciedit, and those!
who only went to class often
enough to get "H's." However,
there was some difference between
women in the upper grade brack
ets and women who only got aver
age grades.
Men who work
But men who took courses for
quarterly grades, on the whole did
better, whether they were average
or bad students, than those who
didn't bother to do the assigned
work.

Krtltor, Student Opinion Survey of America
AUSTIN. Tex., Nov. 18 -Col
lege students, exempted from the
draft at least until next June and
told by President Roosevelt that
they are more useful in the class
room than in the army, face to
day a world plagued with ever
spreading war.
With the election over, in
creased aid to Britain appears cer
tain, and whether from circum
stances of from blundering, the
possibility exists of armed conflict
against the axis powers. If war
were declared, how many men now
in college would volunteer, how
many would wait until called?
That was the question scores of
interviewers for the Student Opin
ion Surveys of America presented
to a cross section representing the
entire male enrollment of the U. S.
colleges and universities. Nearly
one-fourth of the men are ready
now to join the army in case of
war. The rest, a majority of 76.5
percent, say they would wait un
til drafted.
These national weekly polls of
college thought are sponsored by
150 campus papers, the DAILY
NEBRASKAN among them. Per
sonal interviewing is the method
used ih gathering opinions from a
proportionate sample that contains
correct ratios of men and women,
lowerclassmen and upperclassmen,
and all types of colleges, dis
tributed over six geographical sec
tions of the country.
This was the question used: "If
the U. S. went to war against
Germany, Italy, or Japan, would
you leave school and volunteer or
wait until your turn came in the
draft?"
These were the returns, section

From the south and west, se

are coming the greatest number
of volunteers for a year of mili
tary training. These two sections,
with the exception of New Eng
land, contain the largest number
of students who at this time be
lieve they would join the army if
war broke out. Only 7 percent
were undecided on the prolem, and
the percentages above have been
adjusted to eliminate this "no opin
