POLITICUS.
Fraternity factionallst at the
University of Nebraska are bent
upon winning the fall campus
election a.
At least that ! the deduction to
be mad after a cursory glance at
the alates put up by the two
Rreek letter parties, the blue
iblrU and the yellow Jackets.
Of the eight candidates put up
by both parties. sixare prominent
athletes, always good vole get
ters. But Just bow the student
electorate is to divide Itself on the
athletes Is the problem that arises
now.
Slates Unofficial.
The slates are not official aj
vl. according to Bob Kelly, presi
dent of the Student council, until
the eligibilities are checked by the
council.
Following are the nominees for
rlaas presidencies as announcea Dy
their respective groups Wednes-
Blue shirts: Bill Weir, Lincoln,
freshman: Chris Mathis. Tecum
aeh. sophomore; Steve Hokuf,
Crete. Junior: Kenneth Gammill,
Berthoud, Colo., senior.
Yellow Jackets: Wtllard Ander
son. Lincoln, freshman; Lawrence
Ely. Grand Island, sophomore; Co
burn Tomson. Lincoln. Junior; Don
Maclay. Auburn, senior.
The barbs, the third political
group on the campus, have not
made up their slate as yet. A
meeting;, however, is scheduled for
this faction Friday noon of this
week at the Grand hotel, when a
luncheon will be held and when the
candidates for office will be
named.
AH Are Well Known.
The six athletes to enter poli
tics this fall are all well known
in the sports world. One candi
date, Bill Weir, is out for fresh
man football, but he also has an
athletic record in high school as
well as in his own family. He is
a brother of Joe and Ed Weir,
both of whom posses gridiron fame
st Nebraska, and is a member of
Delta Phi Gamma (Acacia.)
Aside from 'offering Weir as a
candidate for freshman president,
the blue shirts have included Chris
Mathis and Steve Hokuf as other
tiports candidates.
Mathis, member of Farm House,
out for sophomore presidency, has
been playing stalwart football In
the backfield this fall for Coach
Dana X. Bible, while Hokuf, a
Delta. Tau Delta and the aspirant
for junior presidency, is one of
Line Coach Bunny Oakes' best
men in the Cornhusker forward
wall, aside from being a letterman
in track and basketball.
Gammill Is Journalist
Kenneth Gammill, Delta Upsi
lon, who has thrown his hat in the
ring for senior class leader is the
only blue shirt not to be asso
ciated with sportdom. Gammill,
however, is of journalistic lean
ings, being editor-in-chief of the
1930 Cornhusker. He is also a
member of Innocents.
All except the freshman candi
date in the yellow jacket slate are
of athletic renown. One of the
athletes is .a footballer, another a
basketball man, while the third
rnnfines his physical exercise to
track.
Willard Anderson, the frosh
nominee, is a former Lincoln high
boy and is affiliated with Tau
Kappa Epsilon.
The three yellow jacket athlete
politicians are Lawrence Ely, sen
ior candidate; Cohurn- Tomson,
junior candidate, and Don Maclay,
senior candidate.
Ely a Grid Man.
Ely has b. n at center position
era the 1930 Cornhusker football
squad, while Maclay has been pre
paring for his-final year as center
for the Scarlet and Cream cagers.
Both are Kappa Sigmas.
Tomson, a Phi Kappa Psl, has
smashed many records in the field
of track. He is one of the confer
ence leaders in broad jumping.
Due to erroneous information
i received at the Nebraskan office
regarding the affiliation of Kappa
Psi, a correction is now in order.
Kappa Psi, according to blue shirt
leaders, never did leave their
group, but have remained faithful
throughout. It was an uninten
tional error and should be given
proper clarification.
CORRECTION
In the listing of new faculty
members in "Who's Who in
America" yesterday, The Ne
braskan emitted the name of
Prof. Paul Henry Grummann,
master of arts, Indiana, who is
director of the school of fine
arts and professor of dramatic
literature.
Prof. Henry Hubbard Foster
was designated as director of
the school of fine arts with a
degree from Indiana. Professor
Foster In reality is dean of the
college of law and has a bache
lor of arts degree from Cornell,
and bachelor of law from Harvard.

CORNHUSKER ONE OF
Edmonds Says Some Schools
Require Students to
Buy Annuals.
DRIVE FALLING BEHIND
The yearbook at the University
of Nebraska is distributed on a
much different plan from the
system followed in a number or
other universities, according to
Ed Edmonds, business manager or
the Cornhusker. At Nebraska
the purchase of an annual is
largely a matter of the student's
own volition, wnue at several
other schools compulsory pur
chase is in effect.
At this university." stated
Edmonds Wednesday, "we attempt
to put out a book of quality, a ;
book which the students will want
to buy, and a book which they I
will always want to keep, instead
of merely getting out an annual
of any kind and tben selling it by
compulsory rule.-
Price Is Moderate.
The price of the annual in com
parison to the size or the school
more moderate at Nebraska
than at any other school, accord
ing to Edmonds. In a question
naire sent out by a national press
association it was found that there
are only five schools in the United
States who have a sales price be
low that or the Cornhusker. In
each of these cases the school is
smaller and the yearbook is pro
portionately less complete.
"There are thirty universities
which sell their yearbook at $ti,"
Edmonds asserted, "while seven
schools offer their book with a
$7 price tag. In that the Corn
husker has been selected as one
of the five best annuals in the
country we believe that we are
offering Nebraska students some
thing exceptional when we place
the price of our book at 0."
Convenient Finance Plan.
The plan of securing finances
for an annual is slightly amer
ent and much more convenient tor
the students at Nebraska than at
most other schools, the question
naire indicates. Twenty-rive uni
versities have compulsory assess
ments on juniors and seniors,
ranging from 2 to $7. which
must be paid in order to subsi
dize the book's publication.
In view of the easy plan ar
ranged in order that every stu
dent in the university may secure
a yearbook, Edmonds rinds It hard
to understand why the sales are
moving so slowly.
"I am sure that everyone wants
a Cornhusker. but as yei we are
behind our weekly sales quota of
1.500. which we must reach by
Saturday night or the present
plans for the book will have to
be modified," Kdmonds concluded.

. , , .
W illiam. Alan Williams named to
consult the faculty committee on
student affairs in order to deter-
mine the council's Jurisdiction in
matters pertaining to parties. The
discussion concerning this matter
arose when the down town party,
to be held at the Cornhusker hotel
this weekend was brought up.
Matter Left For Faculty.
For the present the body de
cided that it would take no ac
tion on the so called Cornhusker
Fall party but would let the matter
rest with the faculty committee. I
The problem of how much campus I
organizations may pay orchestras
was also discussed but no official 1
action was taken on the matter by j
the council, inasmuch as a pre
vlous rule on the books states that :
party bands may be paid no more
than $8.00 per member as a re
muneration for musical services.
It was moved and passed by the
council that it be recommended to
the university to purchase the
signboard in front of Pharmacy
hall, now owned by the Barb coun
cil. Basis for the action was based
on the contention that the Barb
council was renting the use of the
sign board to other campus or
ganizations and the majority of
the members of the student gov
erning body did not feel that this
was right.
Professors LeRossignol and
Pool Arrive in Quebec
on Same Ship.
University of Nebraska was
well represented this summer at
Montreal and Quebec, Canada
Special mention of two Nebraska
professors was made by the news'
paper Chronicle-Telegraph of Que
bee.
Prof. R. J. Pool, botanist of the
university, arrived in Quebec on
the same ship from Montreal with
Dean J. E. LeRossignol. Profes
sor Pool continued his journeys to
England where he attended the
International botanical congress
which was held at Cambridge.
Matters of the greatest interest to
bontanists were discussed at the
congress.
Goes On To England.
Professor Pool went from the
botanical camp at Estes Park to
England. He recently published a
new work dealing with his science
which he named Flowers and
Flowering Plants.
Dean LeRossignol of the Col
lege of Business Administration
did not continue to England, but
instead spent the summer visiting
his old friends and relatives at
Quebec, his home town. He and
his family spent the summer vaca
tioning in and around the Cana
dian city.

OR. FLING SEES DARK
FUTURE FOR AMERICA
History Teacher Declares
Yankee Girls Disgust
Europeans.
TALKS AT WORLD FORUM
"American girls with their ex
cessive use of cosmetics, drinking
and continual smoking, especially
in public places while they are
traveling abroad are the subject
of much criticism from Europe
ans," declared Dr. F. M. Fling,
who spoke at the World Forum
Wednesday noon and who has jusl
returned irom a year's leave ot
absence spent in Europe.
Students cf today do not lay
awake nights thinking of the im
mortality of the soul but consider
such things "applesauce," Dr.
Fling believes. Professor Fling
said that he returned on a ship
that was conveying a large group
of college students back to the
States and the evidence of riot
ous living and moral disregard
was almost unbelievable and mo.t
disgusting.
Dr. Fling is firmly convinced
that the students of today fail to
respond to the higher ideals and
especially tbe women of our uni
versities are on a much lowei
plane than those of thirty years
ago.
Americans do not realize their
place in the world's affairs. In
191$ the United States wis the
most prominent and powerful na
tion in the world but they failed
to take advantage of it. Dr. Fling
stated.
Dr. Fling predicts a gloomy fu
ture for America if she does not
become more cultured and get a
better understanding of the
world's people.
