If they follow the pre cedent set in former years, they will pick a num ber of atheltes whose popularity will draw them many votes. Athletes are not to be opposed because they are athletes but because, for the most pait. they have no interest in activities outside the athletic field and because the time they spent on extra-curricular outside the athletic field and because the time they spend on work other than sports is very limited. For the past two years an athlete has been j elected as one of the three student members on the publication board. Neither of these members has cared what happened in the field of student publi cations. Neither has had any knowledge of the in dividuals applying for staff positions. Both lacked the background to consider intelligently matters pertaining- to journalism. Seldom have they attended meetings. The same situation has been true to some degree in the Student council.

If Interested in the progressive student govern ment, factions will investigate the qualifications of all individuals nominated for their tickets before submitting them to the student body. "THIS NEWSPAPER will strenuously oppose any candidate who obviously is unqualified for the position he or she is running for. It contends that it is only through a strong Student council and a respected Student Publication board that any pro gress can be made in the field of self government. It students do not want to be closely guarded by administrative officials, they must be careful in choosing their leaders. Individuals who, heretofore, have shown little or no interest in student government and who appar ently will have no time next year to do so must not be nominated for the Student council. Those who have not been interested in publications or some aspects of journalism are not eligible members of the Student Publication board. The administration is not to be blamed for be ing reluctant to turn over powers to students when qualified only on the basis of vote getting. If the coming school year is to be marked with as much progress in student government as the present academic year has been, factions must for get the idea of parceling out one office to each fraternity affiliated. They must pick as their can didates really worthwhile men and women, whose qualities of leadership are unquestioned, whose In tegrity is unimpeachable, whose time and energy can be voted unsparingly to student enterprises. Unless such candidates are nominated and elected, the Student council need expect no extension of its powers, which truly would be unwise unless its membership is tempered with good judgement and incere interest in the welfare of the University of Nebraska. M1XLESS MIXERS. DANCES OF ONE SORT or another every week end go hundreds pf Nebraska students. They squeeze into a stuffy ballroom, push and shove their way down the dance floor, perspire freely, yell a bit if there is an especially large crowd, and go home saying what a "swell party" it was. The bigger the crowd, the more they yap, but the more they struggle to get on the dance floor. Wherever is the largest crowd, there Is the best party. Students curse the couple that misplaces an elbow or heel, but fight all the harder to get Into the thick of the fray in every murderous foxtrot. Follow the crowd! That spirit prevails at the col lege dance today. Social contacts, meeting lota of people, seeing many more that Is what youth en Joys. In that its Intention is worthwhile. But it is failing miserably to make the most of such affairs. Until quite recently dances were primarily mixers. A fellow took a girl, perhaps, but didnt dance vdth her more than a couple of times during the evening. Everyone met and became acquainted with each other. The wider one's circle of friends, the more enjoyable the evening would be. Having only a few friends, however, was not a handicap for long. Dancea provided the opportunity to get to know almost everyone. How different la the dance of today at Nebraska.

As a state sup ported institution for every young Nebrakan who wants to take advantage of it, the part that fas hionable dress plays should be miniminzed. No lack of financial reserve to fit himself in stylish clothing should ever be permitted to keep an aspiring and ambitious youth from coming to the Cornhusker campus.

MOTHERS DAY antics that amzed the crowd of horselovers, the big six tandam hitch, owned by the Omaha Union Stock yards, moved and circled gallantly across the field. They are all Clydedale horses, imported from Canada, and arc one of the three leading hitches in the country. The champion horse of te inter national livestock show at Chicago was in the hitch. Ritzy McDonald, a high school horse, owned by Al DuTeau and ridden by Allan Walker, demon strated a number of clever antics before the crowfls. Cyril Winkler, of Lexington, managed the horse show. The light weight class in horse pulling was one by Roy W. Craw ford or waveny. His team puuea 2,500 pounds. George Hedges, of Lincoln, won the heavy weight class. Mother Goose Pageant. "Mother Goose May Day," pageant presented by 125 girls in the home economics depart ment, was given to large audi ences twice during the day. The part of Alice in Wonderland was taken by Alice Bookstrom. Seventy head of livestock were led in the parade of university stock during the afternoon. These animals showed the results of breeding in the herds at the col lege. The flower show, a new fea ture this year, caused a great deal of attention. Exhibits in general had the touch of novelty to them, many of them being of a mechani cal nature. "Every feature In Farmers Fair seems to have an educational touch to it," was a comment made by L. T. Skinner, secretary of the college of agriculture of South Dakota. Skinner was formerly secretary of the extension service at the Nebraska college. He had seven students with him who are trying to pick up ideas for a con templated fair at the South Da kota college. A second showing of the a.

Lincoln, Nebraska WHEN MEN ARE SCARCER. To the editor: An English woman, writing in the American magazine not long ago, informed the women of the world that their best opportunity to ensnare a hus band and to be assured of a matrimonial life comes in college. She pointed out that economic conditions , existing now make early marriage an undesirable thing to the ordinary man after he has begun to earn a living. A sizable nest egg is generally his first consideration and the responsibilities of a fam ily look too bulky for the majority to readily as sume. Men who are willing to marry are in great demand out in the world. Think it over girls! When you get your degree from the fine arts college and find no one will buy your sketches, a man's protection and income may look rather desirable. The English lady says men are scarce. Here at Nebraska they seem plentiful enough especially wherf one of them has to call three weeks ahead of time to get a date for a party. Out of school, however, they are much in demand. It is doubtful if as many men and women come such close contact with one another any place as they do in a university. Your college career is to be considered a failure unless you take awsy some fraternity hardware and grounds for a breach of promise suit with your degree.
