THE INTERSECTIONAL SELECTION
Unfortunately the contract between Nebraska and
New York University ended this season Nebraskans
anxiously waited to see what team would take .the
pTace of this worthy foe on the Husker's 1928 sched
ule. Would it be Wisconsin, Minnesota? Perhaps the
outlook was too optomistic.
Montana State College was chosen to fill the gap
left by New York University. That seems rather like
taking Presnell out of the line-up and replacing him
with a small freshman. Just how strong a grid ma
chine the Montana school produces isn't widely known.
Nor can the gate receipts from this type of content
be predicted. They why the criticism?
If, from the first, Nebraska had desired a practice
game for the date signed with Montana, the action
could pass without comment. But efforts were made to
play some Big Ten school. This would indicate that
authorities were looking for a game which would help
Nebraska's prestige, even though victory did not result.
Montana may have a team worthy of playing Ne
Kr.lr tor .ven more than one year. That remains to
M Rnt if the Huskers do win, what is the ie-
W CTV Vila " - J,
fit? And if they lose, there is not the glory of a defeat
such as Nebraska received .at Pittsburgh.
Booking this Montana game may turn out to be
a wise move, but at present it appears to have "every
thing to lose and nothing to gain."
WOMEN
Just why does the average co-ed come to college?
To receive a broadening education To be away from
home in order to "get out" of household duties? Or to
meet Mr. Opportunity?
A number, quite large, of the fairer sex are earn
estly plugging away along an avenue of development
with a profession in view, pthers are aimlessly at
tending their classes, with no apparent purpose. King
sley in "The Three Fishers" may have had a basis for
hia line "Men must work, and women must weep".
But hats must go off to those to whom work is not
all play. At least one girl (although there are a great
many more who are not in print) is imbued with
enough gumption to start a new and heavy ball rolling.
The editorial columns of "The New York Ttimes" of
November 6 tells under the title "A Girl Graduate", of
a twenty-four-year-old girl who is running for mayor.
"In Concord, N. H., where statutes of John
Stark, Daniel Webster, and John P. Hale speak
of the past, a young woman of twenty-four is
running for Mayor. Old-fashioned people do not
know what to make of the political activities of
Helen Gwendolen Jones. She bobs her hair and
wears short skirts, but is in no sense a flapper.
When Miss Jones entered the primary with three
men, she was regarded as something of a joke.
The first surprise came when she stood second in
the poll and therefore qualified as a candidate for
Mayor."
Should there be more' Helen Joneses? Should
women, or should we say girls, be fired with this same
enthusiasm "to do things" and to show the world that
a college girl is trained to be a leader and a builder?
"She was an honor pupil at the high school
and graduated at the New Hampshire State Uni
versity where she specialized in civic government
and organized a debating team that three times
defeated Radcliflfe College. She was prouder of
downing the intellectuals of Cambridge than of
playing on the basketball team. She had gone to
college from the State House at Concord, where
for three years she worked at the telephone switch
board. Miss Jones is of the plain people and lives
in a weather-beaten house in an obscure street.
Her mother, a widow, is employed in a local store.
When a reporter of a Boston paper called upon the
daughter, he found that she spoke with an up
country twang, and at first, he thought, like a
"telephone operator". But after she had been talk
ing a while he concluded that there was a great
deal in Helen Gwendolen Jones, who wanted to
be Mayor."
This girl has initiative, and probably brains. Her
mind deals with other than flippancy. She overstepped
convention in running for mayor and In doing some
thing "different". Her will cannot help but secure for
her a place of fair importance in the world. How many
N. U. co-eds even possess the will?
Reason tells us that many co-eds will measure
slightly above zero in this respect. N. U. girl graduates
of course, will not be compared with Joan of Arc, Flor
ence Nightingale, Lady Astor, or Queen Elizabeth.
Many others with later accomplishments will be com
mended and remembered and this Helen Jones has been
inspired, most certainly, with more than the vague
pursuit of the romanticists.
"After the interview she made a speech at the
coal yard to a hundred men and women. With her
blonde hair tousled and an overcoat thrown over
her shoulder, she 'delivered an earnest, straight
forward talk.' Some who came to laugh remained
to listen. The girl candidate does not promise to
reform Concord. She draws attention to the failure
of Mayor to carry out his own program,
and offers herself as a practical woman who will
make a more satisfactory Mayor. She says for
herself that if elected she will have no husband to
tell her what to do. Wiser expenditure of city
funds is her slogan."
Perhaps this woman is aiming her hobby horse too
high. No Nebraska women are urged to compete with
Governor McMullen or Mayor Zehrung. Forgetting pol
ities and "women in business", however, many Nebras
ka women could profit by studying the sterling quali
ties exemplified by Helen Gwendolen Jones in her fight
for mayor. Not the objective she has in view, but the
,stand-on-your-own-feet aittituce 'which she displays,
is what many University co-eds utterly lack.

it may be, the writer first egotistically calls his out

Cynarus again compliments himself while intimating
that he is able to produce clever satire.
Items wanted and not wanted are carefully (?)

that are so overworked that even .the Awgwan or Kol

up this morning's Kernel column. I don't doubt the
statement "any item that's funny, though I may dis
agree", for let us pity the person that agrees with your
humor or sense of the fitness of things.

Dear Editor:
What made you decide to run a humor column?
Perhaps I had better just call it a column, because
only certain sections are humorous. Whether it con
tinues or not I want to be sure to send in my o. k. be
fore it is too late.
It seems to me that whether humor is present in
a college newspaper column such as this is not impor
tant, but personal mention, good natured criticism, and
comical "slants" on every-day happenings around school
do keep students interested and in anticipating moods.
Not necessarily that their names will appear, but to
see what "funny" sides can be found to college sit
uations. My suggestion is to not try to call it humorous.
That is bragging. Some of it is really clever, although
impersonal. I especially look forward to the Theater
Notes. But if you do stop the column, as you said you
might after a short trial, you will hear from me again,
and in the form of a personal word war!

be entitled to send about thirty dele
gates to the convention. A number
of students have already made their
applications to be appointed as dele
gates and various Lincoln churches
are selecting students whom they
wish to send to Detroit. Martha
Mantz, Inez Bolin, Dale Weese,
Charles Swan and Carl Olson were
chosen as a committee to select the
delegation and settle the financial
matters. Mr. Schiotz said that a
sdhool as large as the University of
Nebraska ought to send some foreign
students to the convention and it
would also be very desirable to have
a negro delegate.
The Program
The program of the convention
will include platform addresses, open
forum discussions with 100 delegates
in each group, special meetings to
consider the problems of the differ
ent countries and the different fields
of service open to missionaries, and
pageants as a form of recreation and
to show the students how, on return
ing home, they may arouse interest
in missionary work. The dramatic
department of the University of Chi
cago is preparing one pageant for
the convention. From 4:30 to 6
o'clock each afternoon there will be
international teas where the dele
gates may rub. elbows with other
delegates from the four, corners of
the world.
Religious Worker to Speak
A number of internationally
known religious workers will give ad
dresses before the convention.
Among the speakers will be Sher
wood Eddy, Mordecai Johnson, Fran
cis Wei, and there is a possibility
that Albert Schweitzer, musician.
physician and world famed mission
ary from Africa, may be secured for
the convention. Some of the speak
ers will give the delegates a bird's
eye view of the conditions around
the world. Several sessions will be
spent in a discussion of missionary
work in which the speakers will show
that future missionary work does not
consist merely in sending dollars to
the heathen. New, untouched fields
of missionary work will bo pointed
out to the delegates. The closing
part of the convention will be taken
up with discussions as to the part the
Bible and prayer should play in the
work of the missionary.
The committee; planning the con
vention are not sparing energy, time
or money in bringing men from all
parts of the world to the convention
in order to give the present genera
tion of students an idea of the real
meaning and significance of foreign
missions.
Missionary Work la Beneficial
Missionaries and their work are
often considered as jokes, but many
people's opinions of this great work
is based simply upon an emotional
bias which has come down from
some early impression instead of
resting upon investigation. David
Lloyd-George says, "If Christian mis
sions fail, the rest of us had better
close up shop. The missionary pro
gram represents the most successful
enterprise for the reclamation of
mankind that the modern world has
ever seen. We cannot dispense with
that program."
Sherwood Eddy in speaking of the
convention says, "I believe the De
troit convention will be even more
important for the students who will
never go abroad than for the volun
teer or prospective missionary. Past
conventions proved that to be the
case. I hey mark the great spiritual
milestones in the history of student
Christianity in the country."
Reverend Harold Bryant of the
Emmanuel M e t h o d i st Episcopal
church spoke briefly of the conven
tion which he attended last year at
Milwaukee. Reverend Bryant espe
cially emphasized the fact that at
tendance at such conventions does
much to abolish race prejudice.

They wanted to acquire the same ef

Futuristic Art Begins.
"True painting should be repre.
sentative but also have the natural
effect. The artists who scoffed at
oriental colors and designs soon be
gan to adopt their colors and lines,
Thei orientals knew how to paint ef
fectively murals without having a
"hole in the wall" effect that other
artists produced. After all, flat art
like murals is shallow. Artists who
painted pictures began to strive for
three dimension pictures instead of
two, making the third dimension, the
most important of the picture. This
is one of the important principles of
futuristic art. Many people tell us
that real art comes from Indians.
negroes, and people from the Bouth
seas, but in reality, it comes from
modern civilization. Futurism must
deal with different people, those
with new eyes for art and new ears
for music.
"There was no color in the clothes
of our ancestors. They thought that
it was wicked to wear color. The
colors most worn were black, white
and gray. Artists at that time were
afraid to use color in their paintings.
Although some great work is com

that the majority of it is suggestive
and ia rubbish. You can't stop art
and architecture. Men and women
are doing today with lines, color and
planes what cannot be told in
