PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, November 12, 1948 TFiat? An Improvement? Through the turbulence of all kinds of "investiga tions" on the campus, we have finally hit on something that resembles improvement. After years of trying this and that to find a more satisfactory way to choose Ne braska Beauty Queens, the has worked out a new plan which they hope will overcome both complaints raised in the past: (1) that college girls have not been judged for college beauty and (2) that personal beauty has not been photographs used in the past. Former staffs have tried Innocents have chosen the have chosen the beautiful. Model agencies have chosen the beautiful. But each year, much campus comment has wondered whether the chosen ones were the beautiful. The plan this year seems to have started from scratch and emerged with something good. Five students from adjoining college campuses are coming Saturday to view the 46 candidates and choose the beautiful accord ing to their conception, as typical college students, of college beauty. Sure, there can be slip-ups in the judging that will resemble that abstract quality of politics, but the way we see it, this is the best plan yet. Realizing the short comings of the plan, the Cornhusker has taken as many precautionary steps as they can think of. The names and houses of the candidates will not be released until the judging is all over. The names of the judges will also not be told until the show is done. Candidates will have num bers instead of names as far as the judges are concerned. The final precaution is that girls are not even being told what to wear until the last minute so that some judge may be informed to "Vote for the one in the red dress." The qualities that the judges will be looking for are all right, too. Eleven points are on the score sheet, rang ing from proportion and gait to expression and colors. Each candidate will be allowed from one to nine scores in each category and the final tabulations will be unknown even to the student judges. The top tweleve will be told in the near future, but the royal six will be announced much later this year. A step in the right direction? We think so. Louise McDill Jobs . . . (Continued from Tape 1) most of the downtown offices are well satisfied with student help." Mr. Smith concluded by ex tending a welcome to all job hunting students. He pointed out that the office is run on "a first come first serve basis." Tne di rector explained that it is run on such a ba.is because of a short age of clerical help, which makes it impossible for many records to be kept.

Beanie season is over. Tra dition rules that all freshmen of the university must wear their red beanies with the letters 52 adroning the top until the first fall of snow or until the freshmen de feat the sophomores in the annual tug of war. The freshmen lost the tug of war at Homecoming to a determined band of heavyweight sophomores, but it did snow last week. Many upperclassmen claim that the snow was so light they didn't even notice it. However, the weatherman claims that snow did fall on the campus. With this the freshmen, those who didn't lose their hats, may hang their little red beanies in the closet, where they will re main enshrined for posterity.
