"Prospective UN Queens An nounced" and "Deadline Set for Colonel Candidates" are two of the headlines that appeared on the first page of Wednesday's Rag. Such things may very well put one to wondering what is be coming of the male animal? Why should the Cornhusker devote so much time to the judging of women candidates in a beauty contest and overlook the poor men? Why should a female be given top honors at a Military Ball? For a long time it has been true that women were given all the beauty honors, but such false thoughts have been undergoing a process of change, thanks to time, Charles Atlas, Van Johnson, and Frank Sinatra. Men are slowly coming to be recognized as su perior in the physical as well as in the intellectual realm. Never theless, women are still chosen Queens and Honorary Colonels for affairs here on the university campus. How About It? It is about time that a King be chosen for some sort of affair. If women are assumed to be men's political equals, it should certainly be logical to assume that men are the social equals of women. To coin a phrase, we men must federate to preserve and maintain Lour natural rights. Is it logical for men to be forced to send cor sages and pay the bills, then in return be regarded as the inferiors of women in society? What do the females have that men lack? At some time during the school year when the drums roll and the lights dim to dramatize the pres entation of the guest of honor, the spotlight should be brought to focus on the intoxicating form of a man. "Isn't he handsome?" and "So masculine looking," will be the exclamations that will arise from the feminine multitudes as they gaze 'upon the lion skin-clad form of a male student. As men were forced to grant equal suffrage to women, women in turn should be forced to grant equal social rights to their pro tectors and bread-winners. The time has come for the oppressed to throw off the yoke of oppres sion. It is inhuman to keep men in their places of business work ing for a living, while the women rule society with an iron handl Ralli cs (Continued from Page 1.) One of the bright "N" sweaters accompanies them on the Stein way piano which arrives through the courtesy of the tap-dancing Nicholas brothers who are ap parently janitors in the building. The "N" sweater, it develops, is worn by Frankie Carle who dashes off a boogie-woogie arrangement of "There Is No Place Like Neb raska." On the last chorus, the class, led by their Jitterbugging professor, dance out of the build ing in a conga line. There was more, but at this point they woke us up to tell us the library was closing. And we still have that Ec assignment to do. ACTIVITIES AT THE UNION SUN., NOV. 3 Faculty Recital 4:00 P. M. in Ballroom Coffee Hour 5:00 to 6:00 I M. in Lounge Buffet Supper 5:30 to 7:00 P.
