Kosmet Klub,
University of Nebraska
Lincoln, Nebraska
Dear Kosmet Klub:
Realizing no personal antagonism toward your organ
ization, we, the thirteen sororities and Towne Club of the
University of Nebraska, agree as a body not to nominate
any candidates for Nebraska Sweetheart.
The reason for our action is this: Until popular elections
are conducted on a fair and equal basis, and until the
strongarm group, faction, is dissolved, we feel that it is a
discredit to our organizations to name candidates for honor
ary positions when we realize that elections as they now
stand are dictated by the faction.
We wish to emphasize the fact that we definitely do
not consider Kosmet Klub synonymous with faction. Our
decision has been made in an effort to encourage fair cam
pus elections and to abolish any controlling group.
We feel that until the basic principles of fair play and
democracy are recognized in relation to these elections we
will not nominate candidates to be voted upon through an
all-campus ballot.
Sincerely,
nelly i niimiHii

Here is a suggestion for the university's planning and
improvement committee (if there is such a committee).
Due to the acute shortage of parking space available for
football games and any event or activity in the coliseum, as
well as daily parking space, I suggest that the "mall" in the
area of the stadium, coliseum and new military building be
cemented over and used for a parking area.
The mall's present condition is very unsightly and if
cementing is not practical, at least it could be landscaped
decently. Joe Bolher.

Dr. Lindstrom
Stresses Rural
Opportunities
"There are ample opportunities
for Christian service in rural
areas," Dr. David E. Lindstrom,
professor of rural sociology at the
University of Illinois, told Gamma
Sigma Delta members at a lunch
eon Tuesday.
A member of the honorary ag
riculture fraternity himself, Dr.
Lindstrom addressed the group in
observation of Religious Empha
sis Week. lie emphasized the
need lor college-trained farmers
and homcmakers with deep Chris
tian convictions.
The quality of people in rural
and farm areas, the Illinois soci
ologist said, will determine not
only how the land is to be used
but also the quality of leadership
furnished to urban life, since rural
areas produce the human "sur
plus" needed to maintain the pop
ulation of cities and towns.
Nowh'sMyTurn
I'm tired of the army's
Attempts to alarm me
So I'll fo to their ball
In my cords and all.
They're goinr to be "normal"
And call It a formal,
But the cut-rate lackeys
Will appear in their kohokls.
So if I condescend.
And really unbend
To purchase admission
Charge sedition!

Catholic Retreat.
Father Edward Weisenberg will
present his last retreat sermon for
Catholic students today. During
the retreat he has given campus
discussions on the Commandments,
stressing moderning indifference
to the Commandments in present
day life. Another of his principal
discussions was concerned with
marriage.
He stated that it takes three to
make a successful marriage: a
man, a woman, and God, because
marriage of its very nature is to
propagate the human race, and
to do that man and woman are
insufficient. He stated also that in
his opinion the old slow method
of courtship is better than the
modern "hurry-up" method, and
that divorce records are a good
reason for his preference.
Dr. T. Z. Koo will address en

De Voto . . .
(Continued from Page 1.) I
has been an important worker in I
the effort to make Americans turn 1
from a fatuous aping of contem
porary European literary trends
to an understanding and appre
ciation of Americanism in litera
ture. Discuss Noted Americans.
In his lecture, Mr. DeVoto will
discuss noted American writers j
and how well they have repre- '
sented the American way of. life.
Dr T. M. Raysor of tli&Eng
lish department, who knows De
Voto well, says, "DeVoto isn't a
dull man, and I can recommend
him as a speaker. He is a writer
of distinction himself, and a jour
nalist of high quality."
Written Four Novels.
His writings include four
novels, a history of American ex
panison called "The Year of De
cision: 1846," and three books
about Mark Twain. Mr. DeVoto
takes a special interest in Mark
Twain, and he is literary custo
dian of the unpublished papers of
Mark Twain. He has written "The
Easy Chair" for Harper's since
1935.
Mr. DeVoto was born in"Ogden,
Utah, and took his degree from
Harvard in 1920. He was instruc
tor of English at Northwestern
from 1922 to 1927, and later
taught English at Harvard. He
left teaching to concentrate on
writing in 1936, declining an as- j
sistantship at Northwestern. He
lives at Cambridge, Massachusetts, i
It mil?
n
They envy his prestige ... his popularity
; . . his high pay ... his ability to do more
with less material than anyone else in
football. He's Lou Little and even
though he has coached his reluctant
Columbia Lions to more defeats than
victories, he's one of the highest
paid and probably the most firmly
entrenched football coach in the
East. In todays Post sports au
thority Stanley Frank writes a
fascinating article about Little's I ;
unique career.
