The lobby will be decorated as a lounge and the committee is using every means to make the floor ideal for dancing. A novel way of presenting the prom girl has been devised, according to McGaffin, who says it is a plan which has never been used at Nebraska be fore.

NEW MUDDLE IF BARBS AID MINOR GROUP Dean of Teachers College Elected by Regents For Position. Authentic Hint Shows That Non-Greeks May Help Yellow Jackets. LEFT TO Student Council Delegates Power to Pick Music For Final Ball. KINKEAD MAKES REPORT Full power to act in securing an orchestra for the Junior-Senior prom was delegated to members of the prom committee by means of a motion passed in a special Student council meeting Friday afternoon. Suggestions as to a ten tative price were offered by the council members and these are to be followed if possible. Another motion giving the prom committee authority to spend $300 on decora tions was also placed on the books. Robert Kinkead, chairman of the prom committee, reported to the council on negotiations which have been transacted toward the obtaining of an orchestra, giving nominal prices offered by various bands. Following this report Fred Grau. senior councilman, moved that members of the committee be given power to secure an orches tra according to their own Judg ment without involving the neces sity of obtaining special Student council permission. Considerable discussion followed Grau's proposal. Alan Williams, barb repreeeneative on the coun cil, declared that a limited price should be net and the prom com mittee should get in touch with more orchestras before entering into an agreement. Support to the motion was furnished by Bill Mc Gaffin who pointed out that im mediate action was necessary in order that the committee might go ahead with arrangements. The motion was balloted on and ac cepted with one dissenting vote. CANDIDATES PRESENTED Observer Says Rare Such Good Material Put Up For Races. BY THE OBSERVER Campus political conditions have been thrown into a new muddle following an authentic hint to the effect that the Yellow Jacket fac tion will have barb support at the polls next Tuesday. If the barb party is able to organize even a portion of its tentative voting strength of 333, as recorded in the proportional representation last spring, it may have a far-reaching effect on the class presidency out come in all four classes. Student interest in popular elec tions has been showing a propor tional increase during the last four semesters. The ballot cast last fall for the four positions of class president is the largest in history for a first semester elec tion. At that time there were over 2.000 votes cast and campus po litical leaders are predicting an even larger turn-out on Tuesday. Feminine interest and activity will again play an important part in the election's outcome since six women have filed as candidates for prom girl nomination. Four of these six will be selected and this selection will naturally be accom panied by multiple and various ar rangements of vote-trading be tween male and female politicians. No formal attempt has as yet (Continued on Page 3.) SCORE OF APPLICANTS Selection Is Said to Have Been Agreed Before Final Meeting. Dean William E.

"The Uni ted States of Europe," Monsieur de Lanux, French publicist and editor, explained this proposed plan of European organization to a large audience at a regular 11 o'clock convocation Friday morn ing, at the Temple theater. This plan was submitted to the various European states several years ago by M. Aristede Bnand. French statesman, and has received se rious attention thruout the world. M. Lanux. was introduced by Dean Hicks of the arts and science cul-lege. Europe is made up of twenty- seven states of various sizes and importance, with a total popular tion of three times that of the United States, according to M. Lanux, and these nations at the present have 27 different kinds of money, tariff laws, and govern ments. It is fur these economic and political reasons, that Eurote has a need of organization he jeaid. ana also for the best interests of peace. We hope in Europe that we will not have another war." said M. Lanux, "but we hope by a process ui mow evoiuuon to lorm a con federation of states." However, a M. Briand has foreseen, there are numerous obstacles to be over come, before the plan can be put into effect, and for that reason he made very broad plans, intending to use the best of suggestions that came in from the various coun tries to be embodied in the final organization.
