Thiel Suggests New
Plan for Elections
At one of the quietest meetings
In several weeks, President Bur
ton Thiel suggested at the student
council meeting yesterday that the
council make plans to allow cam
paigning by candidates and to
permit publicity for all candidates
and thus create more interest in
Student elections.
Thiel added that the council
would do everything in its power
this year to convince the student
body that the council is sincerely
interested in the problems of stu
dent government and will try to
solve problems in a non-partisan
way. His suggestion was referred
to a committee for a report at the
meeting next week.
The council announced that
there will be a sophomore presi
dent this year if the registration
office shows that there were
enough sophomore votes cast for
the office.
Bob Bramson, chairman of the
point committee, reported that
tabulation of the points of every
one in activities was almost com
pleted. Union Gives

Recalling Past ...
Foreign Students Now at UN
Tell About Mother Countries
Foreign students attending the
university were guest speakers
Tuesday noon at a Rotary lun
cheon where they discussed their
mother countries of Hungary. Tur
key, Chile, Greece and Jugo-Slavia.
All are members of Dr. J. K. A.
Alexis' modern language depart
ment classes.
Discussing Hungary, Kurt Porjes
who came from Budapest three
years ago, said "Budapest is a
beautiful city, especially at night
when the lights of the city make
It even more brilliant. All Hungary
is now in confusion," he related,
"because one day the country is
49 percent Communistand 51 per
cent Fascist, the next day vice
versa, according to the assassina
tions overnight."
Turkish Women Change.
Ulnshahin Muzaffer spoke of
his native county, Turkey, after
it became a republic in 1923. "That
changed everything," he said.
"Now the young women can date,
wear lipstick and rouge and go
about just like they do in Amer
ica." . i . .
A Speaking on Greece, Gus J.
t Kantras predicted that his coun-
try would be free again. "Greece
i j has been under the domination of
l. j world powers in the past and she
has always regained her freedom

Many Mice Blitz
Bessey as Winter
Winds Blow Chill
Apparently attracted by the
abundance of animals in the bi
ology experimental labs a herd
of mice moved into Bessey hall
when mother nature began to be
less generous with her crumbs
out of doors and began sending
cool fall breezes beneath mousey
coats. Since then A. A. S.iaw, cus
todian at Bessey, has been on a
mouse hunt.
Within three days, Mr. Shaw,
with the aid of a few traps stra
tegically placed and a lot of mouse
bait, caught not one but 53.

Delay Choice

Election of officers for the new

until next Tuesday at 7:30 p. m.
since only a few students showed
up at the meeting Tuesday. This
is the second time that election of
officers has not taken place as
scheduled.
"Postponement of the election
of officers will give more barb

meeting and participate in choos

Discuss Jugo-Slavia.
The three countries of Jugo
slavia were discussed by Nadine
Dcspotavitch who left her mother
country in 1930, when she told of
religious and language differences
and similarities of the three. "Ser
bia, Croatia, and Slovena are all
contained within Jugo-Slavia,"
she stated, "and it is possible for
a native of one country to under
stand all three languages. The
people of Serbia are of the Greek
orthodox faith, while the people of
Croatia and Slovena are of the
Roman Catholic faith."

one which I believe will bear re

Gregory Tells
YM,YWGroup
About Faculty
"The wide gap between students
and faculty is largely the imagi
nation of the students," said Dr.
W. S. Gregory, speaking at the
first meeting of the personal re
lations committees of the YMCA
and the YWCA yesterday.
The fact that the faculty is in
position to judge them seems to
quail the students and make them
feel that the faculty is not inter
ested in them, but in reality the
faculty enjoys helping the students
by talking with them individually,"
he said.
Warren Lamson, chairman of
the committee on atudent-faculty
relations, will lead the discussion
at the next meeting Nov. 5.
tJtii Theatre Scores
Melodramatic Hit
By June Jamieson.
Lady Isabel trod the theatre boards last night "faint, wretched,
ill, mad!" to show once more the dreadful wages of sin and faith
lessness as the University Theatre opened the 1941 season with a
production, complete with hisses for the villian, of the immortal melo
drama, "East Lynne."
Playing to an audience of approximately 400 enthusiastic students,
Paul Bogen's initial effort proved a complete success. Not only did
the actors delight the audience with their exaggerated gestures and
dialogue, but the whole scheme of drama in the gay nineties, from
34 inch hand-bills to the advertisements on the roll-up curtain, re
ceived applause and comment from the on-lookers.
Veteran Portrayals.
The role of Lady Isabel, the faithless but repentant wife, was
played to the hilt by Maribel Hitchcock, and that of the old-maid
sister, taken by Bette Lou Rangelar, was a performance worthy of x
veteran. The male lead, Bill McBride, took cheers not only as his due
as the hero, but for his convincing portrayal of the fine, upright coun
try lawyer. In minor roles, but notable for their acting ability, were
Harriet Magnussen and Roy Sheaf f.
In keeping with the tradition of the theatre of that period, the
Theatre printed hand-bills which extolled in flowery language the vir

Students to Eat,
Not Throw Fruit
Unless the students can keep
their fruit at home, the student
government of the University of
Southern California may be denied
use of the Greek theater as a
meeting place for rallies. The
"Daily Californian," makes it clear
that the bad effects of the fruit
throwing fad have become evident
in the staining of the marble, me
morial chairs and stagefloor of the
theater.
Regents Plan
New Home Ec
Ag Building
Another step toward the realiza
tion of the long awaited new home
economics building on ag campus
was taken last week when the
university board of regents issued
a call for sealed bids for construc
tion of the proposed structure.
Proposals for the labor and ma
terials required will be received by
the regents until Friday, Novem
ber 14. These must be in accord
ance with plans and specifications
prepared by Meginnes & Scham
berg, Lincoln architects.
Contractors who wish to bid on
the job may obtain the plans and
specifications by applying to the
architects," and will be required to
furnish the corporate surety per
formance bond equal to 100 per
cent of the contract price. No bid
der may withdraw his bid for a
period of 30 days after the dead
line for receipt of bids.
He Likes His Work
Altho It's Woman's Domain,
Ae Prof Knows His Kitchens
Inquiries at the various schools
are shuffled around until the
school which has carried on defi
nite research involving the ques
tion finally furnishes the correct
solution.
Established in .1928 under the di
rection of Dr. Greta Gray, now
head of home economics work at
the University of California, the
laboratory went under the direc
tion of Prof. Barager when it
moved to the home ec annex, ten
years ago.
Prof. Barager is a physicist. In
fact, he was a member of the
physics department faculty until
he went into the "housewife" de
partment. The move was made be
cause of the need for the principle
of physics in carrying out re
search. Prof. Barager has never
regretted the change.

New Uniforms
Ready Today
For Officers
ROTC uniforms for the ad

for try-ons Thursday and Friday,
Oct. 30 and 31. All advanced
course cadets who were measured
this year for uniforms must re
port on these days at the ROTC
supply room in Nebraska hall to
try on their uniforms.
Alteration of officers uniforms
can also be made during this
time. The delay in delivery of the
uniforms is due to the defense

Prof. Arnold Barager of the ag

As a matter of fact, Prof. Bara

wife a few pointers concerning her

be considered woman's domain, he
knows what kind of stove will
bake a pie or what food mixer will
beat up eggs the quickest.

One of Five.
The laboratory, which has been
carrying on the research for the
past 13 years, is one of five such
state laboratories in the United
States. Universities of Maine, Vir
ginia, Iowa State and Purdue have
similar programs.
The laboratories at the various
universities work on a co-operative
basis. At the present time, the ag
lab is conducting a test on small
food mixers in co-cperation with
Purdue and Iowa State.
