CALDWELL ON ENGLISH POLITICS
Convocation Interesting Tuesday, But
Poorly Attended American His
tory Professor to Speak Again.
Convocation yesterday morning was
sadly lacking in the size of the audi
ence who listened to an address on
English politics given by Prof H W
Caldwell of the American history de
partment Several other objects of
student interest were scheduled for all
day sessions today, such as "Deutcher
Tag" and the election of class ofllcers,
so the sparcity of hearers is accounted
for In this manner.
Professor Caldwell Is very well
versed In his subject, having spent the
greater part of last year In Kngland
studying upon this point He dis
cussed the different problems that now
confront the English from an Amerl
can standpoint and made his hearers
feel that they had gained a better un
derstanding or conditions across the
water
By a unanimous vote of the audience
Piofessor Caldwell was asked to con
tinue his talk at next Tuesday's con
vocation
BETTER SERVICE AFTER NOON.
Beat Time to Eat at Cafeteria is After
Noon Rush, According to Orr.
Students who are deterred from eat
ing at the cafeteria by the long line
which is formed at 11 HO are requested
to come at a later time and get the
benefit of quicker service Between
11 :10 and 12 15 there is a rush of
trade, and although service is really
no slower than later, the prospect of
standing in line does not appeal to
some After 12 lf the niBh is over,
and at that time all who want may be
served according to their pleasure
Since it takes only a few minutes to
go through the line, there Is plenty of
time to get served before 1 o'clock
classes even that late at noon, and
Manager Orr thinks that better service
can be given in that way.

FREDERICK MACDONALD 2
The election yesterday, of which tho
results are given above, was a com
plete victory for the Australian ballot.
The old time practice of running a
daik horse at the last moment and
electing him by prestige rather than
real ability, was conspicuously absent
as was also the always present influ
encing of voters by cheering
Junior Wins by Nine Votes.
The hardest fight was experienced
in the third year class, where Dickin
son defeated Trumbull by but nlno
votes Both candidates were very ac
tive all day and the results were, ex
tiemely doubtful up to the moment
the ballots were counted and tho re
sults tallied
Freshmen Advertise with Card.
In the freshman class there was also
a strong fight for the office tho victor,
P A Warner, winning by the narrow
margin of a dozen or so votes over
B A Thomas In this claHs tlckeLs
were used to udvertlse the various
candidates and the result was a much
larger vote polled than has been the
case for years in an election of this
kind It would probably be correct to
say that this is the first honest fresh
man election held at Nebraska, and
for this the Australian ballot is to bo
thanked
Girls' Vote Influences Results.
One of the conspicuous points no
ticed in the fight w;is the prevalence of
coed voters In former yearB class
elections the girls have been a sort
of forgotten factor, but It seemed yes
terday that they occupied the impor
tant part of the stage Kvery effort
was put out by all the candidates to
get out this class of voters, and the
results of the election were probably
matci tally changed by this work.
