STUFFING THE BOX
Class officers will be elected today. 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.

Saturday's spring weather was the calm before
the storm. Quarterlies are coming next week.

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

Vote Will Be Checked
Last year's mid-year election re
sulting with the casting out of the
senior class ballot has made the coun
cil cautious. 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

tude of small islands, whose number
has been esfmted at 150,000. 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.

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
