STUDENT DISCOVERS
SLEEPING QUAKTEKS
IN SOCIAL SCIENCES
New sleeping quarters for uni
versity men have been discovered
in Social Science. Some tired fel
low finds it convenient to take his
morning nap on the bench between
the second and third floors of
"sosh". He sleeps peacefully as
students dash up and down stairs
between classes.
Several times he has been awak
ened by some curious invader but
this never seems to interrupt his
slumbers. He satisfies the intrud
er's curiosity turns over and goes
back to his dreams. It has been
suggested that he get a job demon
strating mattresses if he can sleep
so well in public. Instructors sug
gest it might be a good idea if
more students would try stretch
ing out on some of these unoc
cupied benches and snatch a few
winks before stumbling to classes.
Then they would not be bothered
with so much noisy snoring in
classes if this plan were followed
by more students. If you happen
to see this fellow leisurely taking
his morning nap at "sosh," don't
bother him maybe he really can
use the sleep. It isn't a publicity
stunt!

studios thev have more appoint
ments for Saturday than can be
taken care of, even witn aaciitionai
1t "tw nnlv solution is to have
pictures taken today instead,"" th
editor asserted.
Because the photographers will
be too busy with their regular
Christmas rush to take care of
Cornhusker pictures they have set
the deadline for Saturday, Dec. 10.
after which junior, senior, frater
nity and sorority pictures will not
be taken.
"The 1933 Cornhusker wants
your pictures in the new book and
we believe that you want to be in

or the last day's rush may make
it impossible for you to be repre
sented in Nebraska's annual, "
Spencer urged.

Professor Says Country
Plans to Educate Children,
Convert Adults.
"Russia has three objectives,"
stated Prof. Margaret Fedde of the

address before the Lions club
Thursday evening, "The first is to
educate the children into society so
as to be able to take charge of th?
government in a relatively, short
time. Because of this few people
over thirty-five have important
positions. The second is to convert
all adults to communism and the
third is to preserve all the cultures
of their seventy different national
ities. Professor Fedde's six weeks ob
servation tour covered 5,000 miles
She found that the educational
program in Russia is not confined
to schools but includes the press,

that can be used to educate the
people to communism."
