The Memory Menace is solved!
The contest which The Daily
Nebraskan featured in Wednes
day's edition, was won shortly
after the editorial office opened
at 1 p. m. Wednesday.
The identifier of the three
photographs on the back page
and subsequent winner of a new,
crisp, green United States gov
ernment issued, $1 bill was
Martin E. Burgess, bizad senior
from Lincoln.
According to Burgess, who was
promptly interviewed by an awed
Rag reporter, he was able to
solve the mystery of the un
known persons appearing in the
pictures without referring to the
hints which were offered by the
accompanying article.
How Identified.
It seems that the dignified sul
tan which was shown complete
In full regalia and large mus
tache is a brother-in-law of the
winner, so it was not difficult.
When asked how he could
identity tne names or rne persons
appearing in the center picture,
he replied that they were mem
bers of an insurance class which
he himself attended.
Burgess was able to quickly
identify the picture on the far
left of the page without any
effort at all. He said he remem
bered the picture appearing in
an issue that came out last
semester. It showed Cub Clem,
former Daily Nebraskan editor
sweeping the floor of the Caril
lion Tower base. The legend
beneath the picture stated that
the "Daily Nebraskan after pok
ing fun at the 'singing Silo,' re
versed itself and now lauds the
beautiful landmark."
Hints.
Hints which the editorial staff
felt should be offered in order
that the readers would have a
fair chance, mentioned that per
sons appearing in the pictures
are human and that they were
either sitting or standing.
Burgess remarked that he
thought the contest was a fine
thing especially as long as "we
won."
Asked whom he meant by
"we," he pointed to his com
rade, Jacques Levi, and admitted
"he helped me."
"Good Publicity."
Levi, a senior in engineering
college added at that point that
he thought the picture was ex
cellent publicity for the Cosmo
politan Club of which he is
president. Before he could be in
terrupted, he pled for a plug'
for the organization's carnival
which will be presented April 1.
He stated that last year's ;
theme for the carnival was "The
Sultan" and this year it would i
be "Shipwreck." He also added,
"Lots of skits from various for-
eign countries would be pre
sented then. Tickets will go on
sale at the Union." I
He also acknowledged the cor.-i
test was wonderful and said with
smile that it proves that some-
one reads the "Rag."

'UN' Delegates
For Assembly
Hear Agenda
House delegates to the model
UN general assembly received
further information on the con
ference at a meeting Tuesday
night. I
Copies of the agenda, the '
scheduled meetings, and the rules ;
of procedure were distributed to
those present. Bill Edmundson, j
NUCWA president, explained I
some of the chief differences be- t
tween the actual procedures of '
the United Nations and the Ne
braska U. mock conference as it
will occur.
In answer to the question as to
why the model conference has
been planned, Edmundson stated
that such an assembly is the
best way to create interest in and
understanding of 1he United Na
tions and world afiairs. He also
said that the success of last
year's UNESCO conference mer
ited a repetition of some sort.
Although there are some disci ep-,
amies as to the organization and !
procedures of the United Na- 1
tions and the setup of the mock 1
conference, the model assembly
will adhere as closely as possible i
to the real U.N. !

''Writings From Willa Cathcr's
Campus Years," latest . publica
tion of the University Prers. pre
sents the earliest works of one
of America's major novelists.
Available for the first time to
the eeneral public, these writings
of Willa Cather originally ap
peared in newspapers and stu
dent publications, copies of which
are literary rarities.
Included in the collection are
all of the stor"e. poems and
nb"s wri'ten dnrin? this period
that can be definitely identified
as Miss Cather's. Almost all of
i
er identifiable newspaper writ-
ipc is a'so ren'-intcd.
It is the writing which revels
the most of he- personality. Her
noetry shows remarkable
smoothness of versification. Her
nnwsnaper writinc, the criticisms
of plavs and plnyers of those
ri-vs of le voad company, shows
vigor and fl"e"'-v.
Slori?s Sicn'fi-ant
Her short stories, although
mrn-ked by an artificiality of
stvle are oovhans. the most sig
nificant. Of these, three are Mid
western in setting ;ind hi"hlv
snrpestivc of thp themes of "O
Pioneers" and "Mv Antonia."
In his introdi"'ti'in. James R.
Shively. who edited the volume.
throws lij'ht on a period of Willa
Cather's life which her biogra
phers have almost completely ig
nored: The years from 1K!I0 to
1(1.15 when she was a student at
the University and bcrn to
write seriously and extensively.
The new picture of the youth
ful Willa Cather emerging from
this volume is that of a preco
cious and intellectually souhisti
cated young woman. It is a com
plete contrast to that created by
biographers who have envisioned
Miss Cather as a wild rirl of the
West, riding horseback across
the prairies and listening open
mouthed to the tales of immi
grant pioneers.
Classical Influence
The inlluences which made
their impact upon Miss Cather,
her potentially famous class
room contemporaries, and the
heavily classical college curri
culum of the period contributed
to the development of her uni
que personality.
Other information brought out
in the introduction concerns the
Student

dale of Miss Cather's birth which
is incorrectly listed in most bio
graphical material. From all ap
parent evidence, it would sfem
the author was actually two
years older than she claimed to
be.
Shively also points out that
she was an extremely intelligent
girl, reading Greek, Latin and
French adequately when she
came to college.
In a special section at the end
of the volume, Shively has re
printed Utters from Miss Ca
ther's contemporaries, which add
to the picture of the young wri
ter. The suggestion for the book
came from Dr. Lowry C. Wim
berly, English professor, and he
supervised its preparation. Snive
ly's work grew out of research
for a master's thesis.

known to many as the Russian
Cossack dance, will be done in
authentic style. Klischuk will

Council Airs
Proposal for
Membership
Plan Utilizes
Present System
A plan for representation of
students at large was presented
to the Student Council last night
by Louise McDill. It provides for
the formation of the following
committees, the chairmen of
which would be members of the
Student Council: International
affairs, interstudent affairs, re
ligious affairs, student spirit, and
a curriculum committee.
International affairs commit
tee would be composed of Cos
mopolitan club, NUCWA, DP
committee and International
house. Suggested activities were,
help with UNESCO, mock con
ferences etc., and further under
standing among students.
Interstudent affairs committee
would be composed of ISA, BA
BW, Panhellenic, council, inter
fraternity council and a repre
sentative of the Dean of Women
and Dean of Student Affairs. A
committee of this type would
further Barb-Greek relations
and might fulfill some discipline
roles suggested for the student
court over which the Council has
jurisdiction.
Religious affairs committee
would have representatives from
YMCA, YWCA. student houses,
religious organizations, and the
Religious Welfare Council. This
committee would help with re
ligious weeks, lenten observances
and plan religious speakers to
help the religious life of students.
They could choose a student pas
tor to be a member of the group.
Student Committee
A student spirit committee
would be composed of Corn
Cobs, Tassels. N club, WAA,
band, yell squad and the direc
tor of athletics. They would plan
rallies, seating arrangements and
work with the director of athlet
ics. The curriculum committee
would have representatives from
each college to represent scholar
ship views and representaives
from honorarics. Their activities
would be such things as teacher
rating, scholarship polls and ex
aminations. Don Stein expressed his views
by stating, "I think this is a good
idea but we must be careful that
there is no duplication of effort
by the committees."
Roz Howard in commenting on
the proposed plan said, "I think
religious activities are underdone
on this campus. This represen
tation would make students more
conscious of religion."
Ben Wall suggested that the
organizations themselves be con
sulted on the advisability of the
plan.
Tht ; lan was sent back to the
committee for further work.
Foreign Students
Ben Wall marie an amend
ment which would not guarantee
foreign students a place on the
council. He stated, "The argu
ments for foreign students are
the cultural relations we will
gain from a foreign student on
the Council and the democratic
relationship he will gain from us.
If you want this it would be
far more logical to require all
Council members to attend the
meetings of the Comenius club
rather than to have one foreign
student here and expect him to
radiate this glow of mystic east
em or near western culture."
Ben Wall's amendment was
defeated.
Shirley Allen, chairman of the
Student Council Big 7 conference
gave plans for the meeting this
weekend. Suggestions were made
as to further points which could
be discussed under the agenda
which has been completed.
Roz Howard related that the
felt that much of the value of
the conference would come from
informal discussions. "Object of
the conference is to become bet
ter acquainted thruout the Big
7," he said. He assigned Council
members certain topics for infor
mal discussions with delegates,
reports of which will be made at
the next Council meeting.
