NEW SALES PLAN SCHEDULED FOR NEXT AWGWAN (Continued from Page 1.) him 55 S Wkfnpof J; Jnttlrr -A Multrai.Fr ;5 ?! San D'l 1J Voo Moo k a n final nla to students to support the campus stands Robin son said, "The magazine value on this campus is such which few other schools are able to give. Every student should take advan tage of it and give us a record campus sale." The theme of this issue, termed the formal one, is in keeping with the time of year and the wiole magazine is symbolic of Christmas and the formal season, according to the editor. Includes Many Features. Many features are offered in this month's znagaxine. Art Wolfs "Why College Men Commit Sui cide," or "Mother Burn My Clothes;" Roland Miller's "Water! Walter!"; and "Foolish Formal Fashions" are considered by Rob inson to be the most outstanding. As an introduction to its issue, the cover depicts a young lady dressed in a rented red formal. It is set off by a background of young men attired in full evening apparel. Other material consists of a poem, "Our Nebula" by Kay Hull, poems without names, and more art work than has Mpeared in moat issues. Copies of this month's issue are being sent to schools and tews stands over the state to have peo ple of Nebraska become better ac quainted with the magazine. Because the campus sale has been falling off, Sigma Delta Chi, sponsor of the Awgwan, has pro cured the aupport of the women student and is sending copies over the state in an effort to make the sales climb back to where they were. "With these plans carried out and the full co-operation of the student body the sponsors can re establish the former sales status of the magasine," Robinson declared. irmwsUTni ta MAI for Itw TftewriUr Oo. has, DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? 15. 1M1.

The procedure which the company has used before is to interview the deans of the various colleges, the heads of departments, and finally the applicants themselves. Ac cording to the letter, it appears that the company feels it can keep in closer touch with the best men available by following their activity achievements. The letter follows: Placement Bureau University of Nebraska Lincoln, Nebraska. Gentlemen: During the past year, we have received applications from men who are soon to graduate from various colleges. Should there be a vacancy which might interest them, we are anxious, of course, to offer the opportunity to the most outstanding of the appli cants. However, we have no means of knowing how these students have distinguished themselves during the year We have attempted several solutions to this problem. Oc casionally we have sent a rep resentative Of the personnel de partment to the various oolleges, this personal contact sometimes solving the difficulty. However, we believe there is still a better way. Would it be possible for us to be placed on the mailing list for your school publications, no matter whether they are weekly, monthly, or periodical? We could then follow the activities of your outstanding students, who are the type in which we interested. We feel that the men who dis tinguish themselves in campus activities will no doubt do the same in business. We would be glad to have your comments on this sugges tion. Signed T. W. Prior, Manager, Office Personnel. LACKEY ATTENDS MEETING National Geographers Will Meet in Ypsilanti on Dec. 28 and 29. Prof. E. E.

VARSITY SQUAD USES NE WPOOL FOR FIRST TIME (Continued from Page 1.) is planned for Jan. 15, when the Husker swimming team has its fir.it home meet with the Kansas Aggies. The dedicatory program is being arranged and will prob ably include exhibition swimming and diving according To Coach Vogeler. A committee appointed by Cobum Tomson, president of the N Club, is aiding in the formu lation of the program. Officials in charge of the pool and health authorities are empha sizing particularly the necessity for each student having: a physical examination before he can use the pool. After successfully passing a health examination, a student will be issued a card which he will be required to present before being admitted to the pool. Examinations Necessary. Dr. Deppen and Dr. Philbrick are now conducting the physical ex aminations in the student health office. Women students now en rolled in gymnasium classes are taking the examinations at sched uled periods. No student with a communicable disease or otherwise physically unfit will be issued the swimming permits, according to Dr. R. G. Clapp, head of the de partment of men's physical educa tion. Use of the pool will be free to all students, faculty members and wives of faculty members. Stu dents enrolled in swimming classes will pay the regular physical edu cation course fee. Men who use the pool during free hours will be charged only a towel fee if they use towels provided by ' the uni versity. Women will be charged a nominal fee for the use of the reg ulation cotton swimming suits which the department will provide. The new women's dressing room being constructed off the east end of the pool is nearly finished.

Vet it Is the sum President Hoover and Secretary of Treasury Mellon have told congre.ss it must levy. And with that sum the deficit of the United States treasury will only be cut in half at the end of the year. The new plan would Increase the number of tux payers from 1,700, 000 to 3.600,000. But, .100,000 tax payers would bear 90 percent of the burden. 1.020,000,000. or 1,320 million dollars, is so grtat a sum that we individual have little idea of its meaning. Anyway, that Is the pro posed sum of borrowings. These are significant points for the year ending last June ihe revenue fell off $516,000,000, mostly in cus-toms and internal revenue receipts. Expenses last year increased J207.OO0.O0O. Most of this went to drouth relief, the unemployed, and to veterans. Says Senator Moses, New Hampshire: "Our first job is to deal with the moratorium. Having dealt with that we will take up the other grave subjects the presi dent suggests. I am against can cellation." The president m his moratorium message said, "the present eco nomic emergency" necessitates further "temporary adjustments" in amounts owed this country. He asks the moratorium be approved by Dec. 15. Tuesday the president issued his third annual message to congress. Here is what the Kansas City Star says of it: "It was a business like message to meet a business situa tion. Those who expected Mr. Hoover to produce a rabbit out of a hat were inevitably disappointed. As a whole the message is one of hope, confidence and common sense." The Los Angeles Times said this: "The program the president outlines shows deep thought, not only concerning what should be don?. but also concerning what shojld not. It is a document which should be a guide to congressional action, and if its advice is followed there will not only be no disturb ance of business but an improve ment of conditions which will be gin to be felt immediately. Con gress can depart from this pro gram, substantially, only at the peril of the country." Japan's cabinet has resigned. Its premier was Wakatsuki. A new coalition cabinet is expected, but the Wakatsuki group is going to try to oust its dissenters and re form a cabinet. Finances are the trouble. Japan and China have agreed. They have accepted the League of Nations compromise. A neutral in vestigating commission of five members is soon to be chosen. Japan is to evacuate Manchuria with the greatest possible speed but reserves the right to deal with Manchurian bandits as it considers necessary. With the row in the senate con tinuing, the contest for the presi dent pro tern remains unfinished business. There is plenty to be done next week and with this pres sure the independents belive Moss will withdraw. The democrats are solid, 43, for Pittman of Nevara, but there's not a majority. There are eleven of these independents. We know one well. To a group of 150 newspaper correspondents Chancellor Hein rich Bruening of Germany said in Berlin Thursday, the "Hitler men ace" could be removed at one stroke by "humane" treatnunt for Germany in the matter of repara tions. "I am firmly convinced," he con tinued, "that if the world esti mates the danger of natural social ism to be so extraordinarily high, it could at one blow remove this danger by helping Germany in a manner corresponding to the prin ciple of humaneness."

What some of these men are saying at least gives us all some thing to think about. Maybe it is too bad thHt civilization has brought us so close to all the world. And war seems to be almost a part of civilization. A JOINT congressional commit tee to investigate the condition of the railroads has been approved by the senate Interstate commerce committee.

The five year plan called for the ex portation of 1,300.000 this year. Not only this but prices have dropped 15 percent and a further cut of about 30 percent due to the depreciation of British and Scandi navian currencies has been felt.
