STUDENTS GO TO POLLS TODAY E RUSSELL III POET, ADDRESSES Philosophy of Rural and Community Life' Is A. E.'S Topic. GRANTS AN INTERVIEW Sees Danger to Mankind in Rural Exodus; Advocates New Social Order. George Russell. Internationally known Irnh economist, poet, phil cisophcr. and Journalist, will speak At the Stuart theater at 11 odor todav on the subject "Philosophy cif Kural and Community Life." Mr. Russell "AE" to the literary world it speaking In Lincoln un der the auspices of the university. In an interview with a Nebras kan reporter yesterday afternoon Mr. Russell explained the agricul tural organisation that has been accomplished In Ireland, how this differs from the type attempted tn America, and of the problem which faces America in the rural exodus. Rural Exodus. It is estimated, said Mr. Russell, that if this exodua from the farm continues, within a few years 0 percent of the American people will be urban. We do not realize what this means, because our cit ies are constantly being replen ished with a vigorous manhood li-om the rural communiteis. In England one need only to see the extent of degeneration in the three or four generation city dweller to realize the horror of the situation which A mere a faces if this rural exodus is not stopped. New Social Order. Mr. Russell's remedy for this rural exodus is the building up of a rural civilization, a new social or der. Almost always, he says, civili zation is centered around a few square miles of brick and mortar. If we can build up a rural civiliza tion with true culture and other In terests then the mere production of food products, we will have reached the solution of our prob lem. , . Referring to his own country as a laboratory in which social and political experiments can be worked out. "AE" with a truly Irish love for his home country' told of the natural endowments of Ireland, but failed not to overlook its liabilities in lack of land. There, he savs. the average size of a farm is from ten to thirty acres and the farmers make a comfort able living off these little farms. Mystic and Poet. The roost, impressive thing, however, of the interview was not Mr. Russell's theories of agricul tural economics. It was "AE," the mvstic and the poet. The rich bar none voice, the tempered cadence of his words, the slight very slight Irish accent, coupled with the physical appearance of this broad, eix foot, bearded sage of Ireland overshadowed his eco nomic theories. Mr. Russell was met on his ar rival in Lincoln yesterday after noon by a committee composed of Governor Arthur W. Weaver, (Continued on Page 3.)

MUST BE IN EARLIER Pictures for the junior and sen ior and fraternity and sorority sections of the 1931 Cornhusker will be taken starling Wednesday. Oct. 22. according to the editor of the annual. A new plan is being followed this year and students will make their own appoints at Hauck's or Townsend's studios, instead of having them made and announced by the yearbook staff as has been done before. "It will be necessary to get the pictures earlier," stated Kenneth Gammill. editor, "in order to con form with this year plans for the Cornhusker. Our copy must be sent to the publishers at a rela tively early date." As in the past the junior and senior pictures will cost 3 each and uhotos for the fraternity and sorority sections will be priced at $1.50. Lower Price Not Feasible. "We had hoped thai it might be possible to make picture reser vations at lower prices this year." slated the Cornhusker editor, "but this will not be feasible because of the new plan upon which tbe yearbook is sold." Students may make their ap pointments for pictures at either Hauck's or Townsend's, as tbey personally desire, according to the yearbook' editor. They are urged, however, to get them taken as soon as possible in order that com plete plans for the annual may be laid out as soon as possible. Time Limit. "There will be a time limit set upon the picture taking process." asserted Gammill. "but this will not be until we can determine how the student body is coperating with us in this matter. It is our sincere hope that, starting Wed nesday, students will make picture appointments at their earliest pos sible convenience. A better book is sure to result if we have the pictures in sooner." Tbe editor of the Cornhusker, especially stressed tbe fact that there will be no xersonal list an nounced e.ah day in The Daily Nebraska n as was done last year. The entire responsibility for mak ing the appointment and getting the picture taken rests with tbe student alone and it is hoped that immediate co-operation will be given. CUSTODIAN HURT IN FALL.

A lane and appreciative audi-1 nc witnessed with approval th premier showing of "Journeys End." the first production of the I'niversitv Players' season, at the Ten-.ple theater last night. The curtain rose on a realistic dugout scene where five officers eat. sleep, and drink rather steadily. The effect of war on the souls of these five men and those who take their places when they "go west" is the theme of "Journey s End." Walter Vogt plays the part of Stanhope, the young army cap tain, very effectively. He handles hii portrayal with restraint and an adept touch here and there which makes it very realistic.

As a prologue to every' act, the entire uniformed cast assembled and saluted. Decorations in tbe lobby of the theater also add at mosphere to the play. Tbe dough nuts and coffee served after tbe first act were a realistic note as well as very enjoyable. IS I Scheduled for Speeches at Vespers,. World Forum, Commission Groups.
