Women in Politics
Last night the Student Council authorized
women in politics by giving permission for women
to have their party affiliations printfd on election
ballots and by giving them the right to form po
litical parties with the approval of the Council.
There are those who say this action was right
because the women have been organized illegally
before and the situation might just as well be
brought out into the open by being made legal.
Others will say that the action will be detrimental
te the merit system now in force in women's ac
tivities by which women advance to higher offices
by virtue of the amount and quality of the work
they have done in the various activities.
So far, politics, as such, have affected women
only in the activities which involve elections in
which men students are also concerned. We don't
know whether this new action will affect the merit
system. We hope not.
A Filibuster?
Authorized sources indicate that the house will
pass the repeal of the "neutrality act of 1939" by
Friday night and the first hurdle in the arming of
U. S. merchant ships will have been taken. That
the senate will also approve the repeal is not doubt
ed very seriously, but there is some talk of a fili
buster attempt on the part of the isolationist group
in the upper house. Under the modern rules of
the house a prolonged filibuster is largely fore
stalled by virtue of the cloture rules and the lim
ited debate period; still a minor filibuste- could
arise and slow down proceedings some.
The strength of the majority for repeal in the
house will be important, for it will determine
whether or not the senate committee on foreign re
lations will tack on a rider to the bill also repealing
the prohibitions on the entrance of U. S. ships into
belligerent ports and certain combat 2ones as well
as the prohibition against arming such vessels al
ready taken care of by the repeal measure. If the
majority is large enough to show a desire on the
part of the house to accept further lifting of pro
hibitions, then the senate committee will add the
above mentioned sections to the bill for repeal. If
this, then, goes thru the senate and passes, the bill
will be returned to the house for its acceptance.
The navy is all ready to arm vessels once it re
reives legislative approval. Guns for all are not
immediately available, but will be upon the return
to port of those vessels now at sea. Those in port
can be armed out of supplies already existing.
Arming of marchant vessels does not make them
impregnable to attack from the air or by sea by
any means, but it does lessen the danger of sinkin
to a large extent. Armed British merchantmen
have been credited with a steadily vising total of
downed enemy planes, and have been particularly
instrumental in keeping submarines under the sur
face. It will protect them from isolated air attacks
such as they might meet in this half of the atlantic,
and it will make it more dangerous for subs to lurk
in these waters . . .
At any rate, the crews of the,se vessels will have
something to fight back with, and won't be just
shaking their rather important fists at the ma-
l&uders.

Dear Editor:
I am writing the following material in hopes
that all or a part of it might appear in your "Let
ters to the editor." The Pioneer Co-op house seeks
no publicity nor honor thru the writeup, but it is
the wish of the 34 members that the work of the
student employment be recognized by all students
and faculty. We are very sincere in our thanks to
Mr. Epp for his personal interest in all students
who might need his help
The university student employment does not seek
advertising nor thanks, but it is our belief that
it deserves this thanks and will appreciate it. If
you use this you may neglect the mention of the
x-op if you believe this letter written in any way
for their benefit, but please do not neglect to men
tion the good work of Mr. Epp. Pioneer Co-op.

"I think most displays this
year will have some motion in
them, and from what 1 have seen
they will be better than those last
year," asserted Calhoun.
Winners of the Annual contest,
which has now become a tradition
at Nebraska homecoming, will be
announced Saturday night at the
Corn Cob-Tassel party. Winners
of last year were the Alpha Chi
Omegas, among the sororities, and
Phi Delts among the fraternities
Entries will be judged on ongi

spectators. Engraved cups will be

Since they are feeling the pinch
of the priority system established
by national defense officials, UN
mechanical engineers are learning
foundry practice with substitutes.
Instead of casting Iron, brass
and aluminum as has been done
in previous years, students are
now using iron exclusively. But
the pouring of a stream of white
molten metal is still a spectacular
sight, especially when the tem
perature of the metal is about
2,700 degrees.
Make Wood Patterns.
In the preparation for casting,
wood patterns are constructed in
the laboratory of the cast wanted.
These wood patterns are proto
types for the cast. With the help
of the wood patterns, sand molds
are then made. hTe sand used for
bolds is mixed with two types of

First Meeting
Octoher 27
Members of Phi Beta Kappa,
national honorary scholastic or
ganization, will hear a talk by Dr.
Koger Shumate on "Legislative
Research" Oct. 27 at their first
dinner meeting of the year.
Dr. John D. Clark, new dean of
the college of business administra
tion, Miss Emily Schossberger,
university editor, and Dr. Bryan
b. htotter, president of Doane col
lege, will appear at the meetings
for this year.
At the joint meeting of Phi Beta
Kappa and Sigma Xi in March the
two societies will announce the
new members elected for the year.
The program committee, com
posed of Professors David Fell
man, Dwight Kirsch, Clifford M.
Hicks, Mabel Strong and Miss
Marjorie Stuff, has made plans
for five other meetings for this
year. All members who have not
received programs should notify
Secretary C. M. Hicks of their ad

When the sand molds are fin
ished, the molten metals are then
poured into them. The furnace
used to heat the iron is a cupola
furnace which has an inside di
ameter of 27 inches and has the
capacity of heating about l'fc tons
of metal per hour.
Cooling Process Next.
The casts after they are poured
ate left to cool. Sometimes, de
pending on the size of the cast,
two days are needed for the cool-,
ing process. After they are cooled,
motor driven brushes are used to
clean the sand completely off the
cast.
Machine pruts are usually
casted in this foundry by students,
and then used by the college to re
place worn parts in the depart
mental machines. Casting their
own parts is much more cheaper
than purchasing themachine out
right, according to John H. Paus
lian, ME instructor.
Since the many years that the
foundry has been in use, there has
been no serious accidents. When
pouring students are required to
wear heavy leggings, gloves and
goggles.

such as taking care of flood refu

cil and stressed the importance of
the organization in a national
emergency. "Every doughboy that
fought on the front in the last
war will never forget the friendly,
brave nurses that gave them med
ical aid," he said. "Because war
is a possibility, this year th Red
Oosa will raise its quota and will
have a campaign separate from
