List Requirements.
The candidates for office must
meet the following eligibility re
quirements: 1. All candidates must have

ter. 2. All candidates must be car

president must have not less than
fifty-three nor more than eighty-
-,jf)txrtdit hour.
5. Candidates for senior class
president and for honorary colonel

Election Hours Not Set.
While no hours for election have
been set, it was indicated yester
day that the council would decide
upon the houi-s of voting and the
polling booths at a meeting to be
held Wednesday.
It was generally believed that
some change in the method of
conducting the voting would be
effected, following the expensive
mistake made at the Ag College
campus last spring, which necessi
tated another election. City cam
pus elections will probably be un
ier the supervision of the council
in the same manner that they
were last year.
Factions Take Shape.
Political clouds that have been
hovering over the campus the past
few weeks have at last taken defi
nite shape in the form of the Blue
Shirt and the Yellow Jacket-Barb
political factions.
Following a week of consider
able under cover activity work, it
vas generally known on the
campus this week that both fac
tions have met. although political
oopesters were still in doubt as to
the reality of a definite platform
or slate of candidates in either
'action.
No Rumors for Honorary Colonel.
To date, except for a few unre
liable rumors, no definite indica
tions have been made by any of
the organized houses as to the
possible candidates for honorary
colonel. J

Ag College's First
Student Comes Back
For l'isit This Week
Mr. Charles L. Brainard of Den

agriculture at the University cf
Nebraska, visited on both cam

At the time Mr. Brainard regis
tered, in 1874, the University had
just come into possession of the
present agriculture college farm,
which provides the student with an
economical place to room and
board. Mr. Brainard became the
first student to enroll in the col
lege, and when he received his de
gree of bachelor of agriculture in
1877 he became its second gradu
ate. Mr. Brainard came to Lincoln
from Minneapolis, where he had
been visiting his son. and was rn
route to Kansas where he will visit
another son. Both sons are pro
fessors in the colleges of agricul
ture in their respective states.

YEARBOOK STAFF
ANNOUNCES
LOW
RATE ON PHOTOS
Price of $2.50 Represents
30 Percent Reduction
From Former Years.
Junior and senior pictures for
the 1934 Cornhusker will be $2.50
this year, according to Robert
Thiel, business manager of the
year book. He stated that students
wishing finished photographs
would be able to purchase them
at greatlv reduced prices. The re
duction of 30 percent in cost of
pictures over former years was
made possible by getting full dis
count on the engravings.
"The cost of pictures for this
year's Cornhusker are the lowest
in the Big Six." Thiel stated. "It
is also the lowest in the history of
the yearbook." He stated that such
reductions were made possible only
by the anticipated co-operation of
the juniors and seniors in getting
their picture taken so that panels
could be made up and sent to the
engravers as soon as possible.
"Juniors and seniors with their
last names ending in A. B., and C.
have this week in which to get
their pictures taken for the regu
lar alphabetize! sections." he as
serted. "After this week all stu
dents n this group will have their
pictures in the 'unclassified' sec
tion at the end of the regular sec
tion." In spite of the discount, the
quality of work done will be even
higher than usual with more em
phasis on artistic effects, accord
ing to Thiel. Lighter backgrounds
will tend to bring out the individual
reproduction more rlealy. "It is
hoped that the co-operation in this
as well as every other part of the
edition will be unanimous, since it
is essential in making the 1934
Cornhusker a representative pub
lication," he said.

YOUTH MUST TAKE PART
NICHOLAS ROOSEVELT
Investigator of Economic Conditions Thruout
United States Says Youth Must Show
More Interest in Politics.
Active participation of youth in politics and government is
America's urgent and immediate need, now as never before,
according to Nicholas Roosevelt, cousin of President Roosevelt,
and recently retired minister to Hungary who was in Lincoln
Thursday afternoon and Friday. Mr. Roosevelt's visit to Lin
coln was part of a national tour during which he is studying
business and economic conditions in the United States.
"Students of America generallyo
are shirking their public duty in
the fields of government and po
litical administration," Mr. Roose
velt declared. "They sit on the
sidelines and spend their time in
condemning tne actions of our gov
ernmental authorities and party
politicians, but they do not so
much as lift a finger toward ef
fecting improvements in, or elimi
nating corrupt practices from, the
objects of their criticism. It is this
inertia and passiveness on the part
of the majority of college students
in connection with affairs of na
tional importance that constitutes
one of the United States' most dif
ficult troubles today.
"It is rather paradoxical that
university students and graduates,
the very element to which one
would most naturally look for
leadership, are the ones who are
taking the back seats when they
are needed most. There is now ex
cellent opportunity for the college
graduate, and for that matter, the
college student also, to enter active
political life. New blood and keen
minds are needed to cope with the
ever increasing economical and
political problems resulting from
prsent chaotic conditions. Unless
youth, especially the college grad
uate, is willing to step put and
make its presence and influence
felt in public life and local poli

tics, we will never get the good
government we so much desire.
Mr. Roosevelt stated it was his
belief that although natural and
administration fostered factors
were working for national recov
ery, the effects of the depression
would be felt not only in the
United States but throughout tne
world for a considerable time.
"World conditions are still so
chaotic," Mr. Roosevelt asserted,
"that it will likely be a long time
before a satisfactory readjustment
be effected. I believe that two
factors, the World war, and the
increased speed in mechanics of
production, combined to cause the
greatest dislocation of economic
structures the world has ever ex
perienced our present depression.
"New developments in machin
ery and industry creefed what
might be called a minor industrial
revolution by making unnecessary
the employment of countless thou
sands of persons who had been
working steadily. The great num
ber of unemployed thus thrust on
society served to accentuate the
forces of depression which were
the natural result of our distorted
post-war economic system. It will
take the United States and the
world a long time to readjust it
self, and even then the difficult

H. L. Mencken, Former Editor of
American Mercury, Is Praised by
Wimberly as the 'Kindest of Mcnf
By Sarah Meyer.
The "kindest of men" is Frof. L. C. Wimberly 's description
of 11. L. Mencken, the sharply critical, fearless, cynical editor
of the American Mercury who recently resigned.
"When writing- for the Mercury, you found Mencken
everything- that is cordial and friendly. He had an especially
great interest in young writers and was probably more cordial
to them than any other editor.o '- :
Names meant nothing to him. as
he judged articles or stories upon
content alone."
A man of countless personal
friends. Mencken had many bitter
professional enemies. Professor
Wimberly claims that this is be
cause he spared no one. "His so
called radicalism consisted in
truth-telling, which accounts for
his many enemies and also his
irany friends. His editorial com
ment created two factions those
