CANDIDATES FOR Contrary to Popular Belief, Late King Albert of Belgium Disliked By Many Subjects, Arndt Declares Contrary to the popular belief that King Albert of the Belgians, recently killed in an accident, was well loved by his countrymen, a very great number of the Belgians actually dis liked him, according to Professor Karl M. Arudt. Arndt stated that although the dislike was not personal but political in nature, it was very evident while he was in Belgium. There are two racial groups in Belgium according to Arndt. The major group is known as the Flem ings who are akin to the Germans. The smaller group who are known as the Walloons, are akin to the French. A large numbet of the Flemings have a chronic dissatisfaction with the national government and gov ernmental policies, because they believe that it is anti-Flemish and curbs Flemish aspirations, stated Arndt. They want to cultivate their own language (which is similar to Dutch ) and want to maintain their own racial traditions and develop their own educational system in cluding universities. Many, in fact, are advocates of a aeparation be tween the two groups. Fleming Movement. In 1922 and 1923 there was a very powerful movement of the Flemings with the object of set ting up of an all-Flemish univer sity. The Belgium government was opposed to the plan. Arndt relates an occurrence which happened while he was attending school in Louvain which showed the atti tude of the Flemish students in regard to their king. FINAL YEARBOOK SALES DRIVE TO ;e Students Have Last Chance To Purchase Annual, Thiel Declares. USE INSTALLMENT PLAN Orders for Cornhusker May Be Placed in Office of Business Staff. "With the final sales drive of the 1934 Cornhusker scheduled to close Saturday at 2 o'clock, Bob Thiol, business manager of the year book, urged all stu dents desiring a copy of the. booK to see a salesman at once or place their orders with the busi ness staff at the Cornhusker office, as it is the last opportunity to purchase a book. Due to the fact that the total number of copies desired must be placed in the printers' hands with in a few days, Thiel declared that students desiring the book must have their orders in by that time or do without. Thiel called attention to the fact that each year, additional requests for the yearbook are received at the time they are to be distributed and they cannot be filled. Requests for annuals of previous years have been received from six different parties in the last few weeks, he added. The sale price remains at $4.50 cash or in installments of $2.50 down, and the balance of $2.2.) when the book arrives. Record of College Life. "The Cornhusker is the only true and representative record of his college life which a student may take out into the world with him," Thiel declared. Its' intrinsic value far exceeds the price which is asked, and the value of the book increases each year following graduation. This year, we are offering an exceptional value for the book is over one-third larger and there is no increase in price. New designs and unique fea tures characterize the feature sec tion according to Thiel. Among the features of the new annual, Thiel pointed out, are the College Administration section which in cludes pictures of deans and other officials. He announced that there would be twice as many pages in this section as in former years. Another section which has been increased is the Junior and Senior class section. He said that an un usually large majority of these classes is represented. Features Coeds. Included in the feature section will be six full page pictures of the most beatutiful coeds on the Ne splpcted bv Bing Crosby, cele orated radio and motion picture star, inese were picneu from a list of twenty-five sent in by the organized houses on the campus. The football section, which is al ways very interesting, is now three times larger. There are two pic tures of every letterman, one of vhich is a studio picture and the other is one that has been snapped in action. Other features of the athletic section are the basketball and track divisions. This year's division is improved, and is much cleverer in design. "We hope to make the 1934 Cornhusker the best in the history of Nebraska's year books," stated Woodrow Magee, editor of the Cornhusker. "The many unique features incorporated with the un usual designs, and the increase In size brings to students a book that will hold many pleasant re membrances of college life." In 1922, King Albert visited Louvain where I was a student," stated Arndt. "The Flemish stu dents, then following a rather vio lent anti-government policy on the university issue, went down to the station and occupied all the space on the platform on which the king was to appear, wearing distinctive Flemish student caps colored in old rose. When King Albert ar rived they gave him the 'Belrium Cheer' (absolute silence). At this obvious insult the king was an noyed, and a rather serious situa tion was created involving the uni versity." The university to make amends dismissed, a few days later, some students who refused to stand at a public exercise when the nation al anthem was played. The matter was thus straightened out, ac cording to Arndt. So dominant was the feeling be tween the two racial groups who attended the university at Louvain, said Arndt, that a Flemish stu dent would not speak to a Walloon unless absolutely necessary. Mem bers of each group wore caps for identification, the Walloons a black fez. and the Flemings, their caps in old rose.
