Aa usual cam pus political aces can be expected to try to "beat the game" in every way possible with stuffing the ballot box the principal attempt Unless plans of the Student Council go badly astray, factionists from either side of the fence will find it hard to win the election by any means other than "getting out the vote". For several year3 there has not been an election at which stuffing the ballot box has not been attempted. A year ago, evidence of stuffing was so clear that the election for the senior presidency was held over again. Continued efforts by Student Council leaders led last fall to the development of as near a perfect system for preventing illegal voting as could be de ' vised. Yet despite their efforts, the election last fall was protested by defeated candidates. A faculty committee made a complete check of last fall's election and vindi cated the Council in regard to every charge made against it. The Council will again make every effort to hold an honest election. Past experience says that little cooperation can be expected from fraternity politicians. Despite fmternity politics, every indication is that students will be able to choose their officers today for the second time this year. The Student Council is tak ing every precaution to make the election honest and it will be adequately supervised by faculty representatives to protect the Council from unjust criticism as well as to protect voters. The University Night committee seems unusually diligent in their efforts to secure "Scandal" after the unfavorable publicity attached to last year's performance. THE UNIVERSITY'S BIRTHDAY The University of Nebraska, born fifty-nine years ago on the spot on the wind-swept prairie that is now Lincoln, celebrates its birthday tomorrow. It was Feb ruary 15, 1869, that Governor David Butler signed the bill passed by the state legislature that granted a char ter to the University of Nebraska. Tomorrow, Nebraska alumni will gather to pay homage to their alma mater. In recent years it has been the custom for the University, through its alumni association, to broad cast a radio program to the alumni through the local station. The voices of faculty members and other cam pus notables were sent out to alumni throughout the entire country. It was a means of connection with the University that helped to revive old memories and create new interest. Because of a ruling of the federal radio commis sion the Lincoln station, KFAB, through which all University programs were broadcast, has been forced to divide time with another station. The two stations broadcast on alternate hours, thus making it impossible to send out any programs of such length as the Charter Day programs of the past. The alumni association of the University, striving for a substitute for the popular Charter Day pro gram, has arranged for a number of faculty members to attend meetings of alumni groups through the state. These speakers will convey personally the message and good will of the University to the alumni groups. Permanent alumni organizations, located in most of the large cities throughout the United Statea, have arranged extensive programs for the night. Other group of alumni, in towns or communities too small to support a permanent organization, are planning in formal meetings. Reports from the alumni association of the University indicate that many groups are taking advantage of the list of speakers that has been com piled. Although this method is probably not so satis factory as the old plan of broadcasting the speeches of the many old friends of the alumni, the industry and ingenuity shown by alumni in arranging the next best thing is a fine tribute to their interest and affection .for their alma mater, now passed through fifty-nine Lincoln plans to abate its smoke nuisance. Maybe our grandsons will be able to wear a shirt two days. STUDENT LIFE Student Life is the most interesting phenomenon in the world. And the statement is made without fear of exaggeration in the midst of an age of superlatives. Students are commonly condemned for shallow ar tificiality, wasteful use of opportunity, and extrava gance with family and state income. No need to repeat the adjectives commonly applied to college youth. But let students take a serious interest in vital problems of the day, interest to the extent of discussing them openly and commenting on them in the collegiate press, and woe to the student body and institution. Per haps it is because the students who so comment are likely to be radical in nature. Perhaps it is because youth is naturally impatient and feverish in its desire to see wrong righted. Whatever' the cause, the fact remains that nine times out of ten, student comment on vital problems or problems that students believe vital is angrily picked up by the public press with comments running some what like this: "Wtf aren't sending out students to college to be come radicals. We aren't sending them to college to upset the institutions we have built up as sound and sensible for our civilization. We sent them down there to study, not to see how much trouble they could stir up." Particularly are such comments true when the students concerned are attending a state-supported in stitution. It is a most regrettable situation, regrettable from two standpoints. It is regrettable in the first place that students are touchy and do "blow off" on live subjects without due consideration of the fundamental issues involved or without a full knowledge of the facts. It is fully as regrettable that civic opinion expres sed through the public press is unwilling to accept the right of students to express opinion, when it disagrees with that held by the community 'or the portion of the community whose voice is heard. None of our social, economic, or important political problems are per manently settled. The dissatisfaction of youth with maladjusted conditions, if aided by intelligent thought, can and must be used in advancing social progress. The fault is two-fold, (1) Lack of student thought before utterance and lack of care in the manner of speaking and (2) Lack of community tolerance with new opinions, particularly those contradictory to ac cepted tenets. Notices Saturday's spring weather was the calm before the storm. Quarterlies are coming next week. In Other Columns LIBRARY OPEN ON SUNDAY It has long been the plaint of students that they cannot get their reference work done because they are unable to gain admittance to the library on Sundays to get the books needed. This is especially true of the self-supporting stu dent who must work during his spare hours and Satur day, thus leaving only Sunday to do his reference work. If he does have any spare time, and goes to the library for reference books, the chances are that some other student may have the book. The library should be opened to students on Sun day, at least some portion of the day, either in the afternoon or in the evenings. Students are more able to get the atmosphere of study in the library, and as the great majority of students do some of their study ing on Sunday, it would be profitable to have the library open to them then. The library could be closed an hour or two earlier on Friday and Saturday evenings, and that time given to the Sunday library hours. This plan might prove to be a profitable one, es pecially for the self-supporting student, and other stu dents as well might gain in hours of study. Daily Kansan. CAPS AND GOWNS The resolution authorizing the purchase of the caps and gowns for rental to the graduating class each year, passed by the Men's Student Council recently, should meet with the hearty approval of every senior, as well as every student who ever expects to graduate Last year and in previous years, caps and gowns have been rented from out-of-town firms at the price of $2.50 each. According to the present plan, the only charge to be paid by the senior will be a nominal fee for cleaning and storing for the next year. It is estimated that the lower fee which will be charged will represent a saving of at least a dollar per outfit. The plan was worked out by a committee from the Men's Student Council working in conjunction with faculty representatives. It places the handling of the caps and gowns into the hands of a committee from each senior class. It is also announced that the project is to be car ried out on a non-profit making basis. This is indeed a relief for it is evidently a start toward reducing the large amount of unnecessary expense that a student who wishes to receive a degree encounters. Daily Kansan.

The council president points out that under the present system of balloting that unfair means are almost impossible. Each student applying for vote will be carefully checked with the registrar's files which were made ready for use yesterday. Each stu dent is being checked as to eligibility in the various classes. A copy of the individual's handwriting made when registering will be at the disposal of election officials and in case any doubt arises as to the identity of ap plicant for vote such applicants will be able to prove identity by this means.

According to Drake reports, the Des Moines team is training hard for the Nebraska trip. The Drake quintet will leave early this morning and arrive in Lincoln in plenty of time for the evening game at 8 o'clock. Predictions relative to the outcome of tonight's game were lacking from the coaches at the Coliseum Monday night. However, a spirit of optimism pervaded the practice drill and the Varsity squad seemed fit to meet the Bulldogs in the Tuesday game.

He then spent three years as professor of mathe matics and chemistry at Grand Isl and College. Mr. Whitnah later attended the University of Chicago, where he took a special course in chemistry. In 1917 he received the degree of mas ter of science from that institution and since then has been professor of chemistry at Judson College, Ran goon, Burma, India. He is now in America on a year's furlough. State were the two victims of Coach Black's hardwood five. Missouri fell down lower into second place last week by losing to the league-leading Oklahoma five at Columbia. Oklaho ma experienced its closest game of the season against Missouri, the final score being 84 to S3. Nebraska jumped a place as a re sult of its two victories in Iowa and is now in seventh place with four victories and six defeats for a per centage of .400. Washington is down in the second division after starting the season with a dizzy pace. Drake's victory over the Allen coached five from Lawrence sank the champibnship Kansas aggregation down lower in the 1928 cage race. It looks as if Kansas has come to an abrupt halt at winning champion ships in Valley basketball. The Jay hawkers are in fourth place with six wins and five defeats. Nebraska and Drake get together tonight on the Coliseum floor and Kansas will entertain the Scarlet at Lawrence on Saturday. Results Last Week Oklahoma, 34; Missouri, 33.

Nansen is now a prominent member of the League of Nations council and Amundsen is in the unique position of being the only living man who has reached both poles. Mention was also made of Hcndrik Ibsen, the world renowned writer and Edward Grieg, the composer.

Demand for Tourist Third Cabin accommoda tions is so great each year that reservations should be made well in advance. Last year many thousands of students travelled on United States Liners this year there will be even more. These ships are so popular because they are Amer ican ships. Standards of living in America are the highest in the world and they are maintained on the Leviathan, George Washington, President Roosevelt, President Harding, Republic, and America. Staterooms are clean and airy; social halls, smok ing rooms, and libraries are attractive and inviting; the cuisine is well known for its quality by all expe rienced travelers.

The protection afforded by these tiny isl ands gives Nor.vny many ideal harb ors and has contributed much to the habits of the people which are na turally seafaring. Norway is a very mountainous country, broken up with many streams and the fiords, the latter of which are characteristic of Norway. The fiords extend as far as 140 miles inland and are navigable even with large sea-going vessels. There are many water falls in the fiord region and many of them have been utilized as a source of water power. List Industries Among the chief industries of Nor way, Dr. Pool stated, is the wood pulp industry. Much of the water power generated from the water falls is used in the wood pulp mills. About sixty per cent of the pulp produced is used by the United States. Mention was made of the fish in dustry which is of utmost importance in Norway. Fish of a dozen varieties are available on the Norwegian fish market. Much fresh fish is sent to the German fish markets of Bremen and Hamburg. The pictures of the mountain and fiord regions of Norway were very beautiful and Dr. Pool gave a very vivid account of his and Mrs. Pool's travels through this region. Dr. Pool completed his lecture with illustrations of the capital of Nor way, Oslo, before 1925 known as Christiania. He showed pictures of the home of the king, the university and other institutions which are all very impressive edifices. The pictures which illustrated the lecture were taken by Dr. Pool while he and Mrs. Pool were visiting Nor way a few years ago.

(Spe cial) -Announcement was made yes terday by Sam Katz, president of the Publix Theaters Corporation, that immediate steps would be taken to organize, this spring, another Publix training school for theater managers. The management school idea, first launched, in 1925, has graduated three classes which are now absorbed into executive posi tions throughout the country. Men selected for the class which starts this spring will be mainly those who have been in the employment of the Publix theaters, of which the Lincoln and Orpheum of Lincoln are units, and a limited number of out siders who apply. The school is conducted along the laboratory plan in a model private Publix theater in New York City. Men are sent out to work in various Publix theaters during their term, to get first hand information along the line of their work. Fuller Kislingbury, formerly of Lincoln, graduated from thei Publix school, and is now with the Para mount Picture people in Paris, France. RELIGION IN COLLEGE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION Princeton, N. J.
