Late bulletin Kappa Phyd Welsh
and Bill O'Connor, ATO, passed the
candy amid conventional kisses,
"oohs" and "aahs," after dinner
last night.
Good morning'. . .it's nice to
wake up and find that its Tues
day morning and that there's
hardly a chance of seeing any
more of post-Military Ball orchids
drooping about... why we've even
quit wondering who the shellaced
soul was who escorted Theta pledge
Shirley Woods to the shindig. . .no
local product we guarantee. . .the
Acacias aren't looking any more
for the culpit who stuffed all the
beds with water-filled balloons
preparatory to the lads return
from the MB.... and so its Tues
day and we stop dwelling in the
scrapbook and take up current
events. . .
The Mortar Board party is tak
Ing feminine minds off their work
to do a bit of novel planning and
ever so many souls are planning
parties for youngsters. . .Christ
mas parties. . .this Yuletide spirit
is beginning to penetrate. . .
Over to the Alpha Chi house
things are happening. . .Mary Lee
Adams is wearing Sig Nu Jack
heott s ring and Wanda Crum
baugh is pinned to Sig Alph
letcher Conn . . .
We've finally gotten to the bot
tom of this matter of Fiji Claude
Wright carrying his picture of Pi
Phi Georgia Swallow to classes
. . .it's protective matter cause you
see Claude doesn't want anything
to happen to the prized photo. . .

Business level
remains same
Stale fails to participate
in national defense boom
Nebraska's general business ac
tivity continued steady in Novem
ber, according to W. A. Spurr,
statistician on the bizad faculty,
but the state still fails to partici
pate proportionately in the de
fense boom.
The business index for the state
continued unchanged from October
at 114 percent of the 1935-37
average. A sharp gain in bank
debits and a less than seasonal
decline in building activity were
counterbalanced by sharp declines
in retail sales and in postoffice
business due to excessively cold
weather.
National business has been stim
ulated by war orders and the na
tional defense program, and
reached a new high level last
month, rising 3'i percent over Oc
tober. He'll Be Doing

ASCAP, at 30 Rockefeller Plaza,
New York City.
Material of the winning play in
each region will be submitted to
movie and theater producers in
New York and Hollywood. Title
and ownership of the play and
music remain the sole propeity of
the author and composer.
Plays will be judged by a re
gional judging committee. All
complete material must reach the
chairman not later than May 15.
Awards will be based on the play
as a whole and not upon any single
part or feature. Judgment will be
entirely upon the script and not
upon the performance.
Three judges, experts respec
tively in music, creative wilting,
and the theater, will judge the
plays in each region. The commit
tee may withhold the reward if
no play is good enough.
Suggestions offered by the spon
sors are "originality, practicality,
neatness, and research." Authors
must bear in mind that a musical
must appeal to the masses and not
the intelligentsia. The script must
be neatly typed and authors are
urged to do "painstaking re
search" to avoid errors in plot and
background.

Headlines-
( Continued from Page 1.)
Italian imports normally are
about 84 percent of consumption
A United States Department of
Agriculture report last week says
the poorer classes in Italy face
malnutrition. Stringency of the
situation is emphasized by a re
cent decree which provides im
prisonment for a year of any
farmer who withholds his products
from compulsory storage.
Defense continues to dominate
domestic news with all authorities
intensifying efforts to speed up
production of defense essentials to
top-notch wartime tempo.
Most controversial issue at pres
ent in the progTam seems to be in
the role assigned to labor, with
Monday's press dispatches carry
ing conflicting opinions on the re
lation of the working man to the
entire program.
Rear Admiral Ray Spear, the
navy's supply chief was quoted as
saying that the Walsh-Healy Act
with its wages and hours demands
on government contracts over 10
thousand dollars continued to be
a disturbing factor in procuring
some lines of government supplies.
Many manufacturers, he said, will
not bid on a contract subject to
the act.
On the other hand. Secretary of
Labor Perkins, opening a national
conference on labor legislation, de
clared there was no valid reason
to undermine the wage and hour
legislation as defense needs shape
up at this time.
At the same time the defense
commission's labor policy commit
tee, under the leadership of Sidney
Hillman, met yesterday and pledg
ed cooperation with the defense
program and assurance of no ac
tion to impede production before
all conciliation facilities of the
federal government have been ex
hausted. It does not seem from here, that
the 40 hour week, a-s many op
posed to wage-hour legislation
contend, must necessarily slow up
defense production. The act con
tains ample provision for overtime
work, and before the gains of la
bor are summarily scrapped, the
possibilities of continuing the pro
gram under the present setup, and
of securing the complete coopera
tion of all factors of production
should be thoroly explored.

AUSTIN, Tex. Early in No

returned President Roosevelt to
the White House for a third term.
The New Deal, now In power for
another four years, will probably
grow more and more to be a perm

economy. Which of its features
should be continued, which dis

College students have an in

will live iy when they enter active
citizenship. Student Opinion Sur
veys of America has polled a rep
resentative sample of the entire
U. S. enrollment in order to ar
rive at an accurate measurement
of college sentiment on this issue.
Most collegians everywhere told
interviewers that what they like
about the New Deal is this:
1. The opportunities it has cre
ated for youth under CCC and
NY A.
2. The security it has brought
to the unfortunate aged.
The WPA and the AAA, the
poll shows, are scored by the
greatest number of students as the
most unsuccessful of all the alpha

Concluding with the thought
that democracy cannot continue
unless it is able to meet physical
violence with adequate defense for
survival, Peterson said that we
should expect to pay a high price
to keep democracy in our posses

keep the light of democracy burning.

Last April, when Student Opin

on the New Deal, college students
sanctioned Uncle Sam's assump

comparison of those figures with

increased concentration of ap
