200 CORRESPONDENCE
LESSONS ARE MAILED
Announcement of the "Comhusker
Rose" will be made next Tuesday in
the Summer Nebraskan. The contest
to decide the girl who shall adorn tho
cover of the new waltz sweetheart
song closed Saturday and ballots
which arc not received by Monday
evening cannot be counted toward the
winner. The contest was conducted
by Howard Adamson. composer of the
song.
Besides the girl winning the con
test, announcement will be made in
the Tuesday Nebraskan of the ten
girls receiving the most votes in the
balloting. These ten high girls will be
given free copies of the song.
The cover design for the song has
been entirely completed. The only
thing remaining before the frontispiece
can be completed and sent to the pub
lishers is to secure the picture of the
winning girl. "The Cornhusker Rose"
will be known Tuesday morning.
Much Interest in Contest
Much interest in the contest to de
cide the "Cornhusker Rose" has teen
arcused in Lincoln musical circles. An
unusual interest in the contest has
been created by the fact that this is
the first time such a contest has ever
been conducted to decide who shall
adorn the cover of a popular musical
selection. Decision to hold the con
test was made when Adamson found
himself "up a stump" to find the Ne
braska girl whom he believed should
have her picture cn the front of the
new piece.
The song has not yet been printed
to music but several Lincoln dance
orchestras have been playing it reg
ularly for several weeks. The lead
ers have declared the new song a de
cided success and judging from the
comments "The Cornhusker Rose"
will be received enthusiastically.
Ballots have been coming in fast the
fore part of this week and a heavy
vote on the winning girl is expected.
Each vote counts five pcints. All
ballots should be sent to the contest
edftor of the Summer Nebraskan.
They will then be turned over to
Adamson vho will in turn give them
to the members of the judging committee.
The extension division Wednesday
mailed out more than two hundred les
sons to students taking correspon
dence work through that department.
University credit can be secured
through these correspondence courses
and many students have been taking
advantage of the opportunity to gain
extra credit without actual attendance
at the university during the summer
months.
