year's Husker team is just that, comprised for the
most part of gTeen men. Mistakes were undoubt
edly made Saturday by the team, but it is to be
noted that after-game quarterbacks took a little
time to picking out those errors. Men on the field
don't get that time for correction.
There are three more games on the schedule,
all with Big Six teams Kansas, Missouri, and
Kansas State. The Huskers should win all of them,
and the student body must back them with that
idea 'n mind. After all, the two teams that have
won over Nebraska are the nation's two best.

Play-Day
Is Here!
In Wednesday's Daily Nebraskan will appear
headlines featuring the names of newly-elected class
presidents. For a few days they will bask in the
glorious sun of publicity, and then will be forgotten
until their trivial duties are over-emphasized in
print to make readers believe the offices really
serve a purpose.
On the morning of November 24 one of the six
girls battling it out at the polls for the honor of
being Nebraska Sweetheart will be presented as
such. For a few weeks all freshmen and sopnomore
males will gape at her, and then she too will be for
gotten for a while, probably a long while.
When junior and senior military science stu
dents, taking drill for the money, strut out on the
coliseum floor for the grand march on the night
of the Military Ball, December 7, sedate girls in
formals will be tittering, jabbering, and Jumping up
and down like two-year-old brats awaiting the ap
proach of the much-heralded and nervous Honorary
Colonel. No one knows how she will be presented,
tout the Nebraskan editor suggests that she be blown
out of the mouth of a cannon for the sake of real
lstic symbolism.
All the words above take one to the fact that
there is another fall election this day, Tuesday, in
the Temple building. It will be accompanied by the
presence of the tottery booths at the head of the
stairs, would-be big shots looking important and
hanging about the doors and landings. Outside,
little Oscar, you will meet a bevy of giggly pledges
and what-nots asking you to vote for Tillie Flatmug
for Honorary Colonel or Nebraska Sweetheart.
Don't pay any attention to them; put your mind
into the election and go to class.
Don't get the idea that we don't thing these
elections are a lot of fun and really serve a purpose.
They do liven up campus life to a new level for a
few days, and furnish an outside stimulation so
necessary in the lives of many students unable to
stick exclusively to academic routine. Many of us
would go crazy if it wern't for some sort of nervous
outlet, even tho we do unimportant things in gain
ing relief.
The average student on the campus seems to be
quite oblivious and unaware of any activity unusual
in its form going on during campus election day.
If they are of the type that can get along without
aome sort of artificial stimulation during college
days they are more to be praised than pitted and
condemned.
One of the things to be regretted concerning
"trie fall elections is tha tthe class offices, particu
larly, amount to so little as administrative positions.
Again we state that the Student Council should. give
back to the Junior class president the right to head
the Junior-Senior prom committee, and under no
circumstances, especially political, should that func
tion be taken away from him. Senior class organi
sation, we repeat, Is quite necessary to the univer
sity, and would ultimately result in a much more
-sMtnpact and sincere Alumni organization working
"lor the best interests of the university.
Then too, why must faction representatives sit
until the wee small hours of the morning fight
about who they think should be Innocents next
year. In working out their complex machines
thftgfj politicians make grown-up ward-heelers look
jfcimefully muddle-headed and weak. Our hats are
trff to you, campus porty high moguls, and we hope
ta Heaven that you can get some sleep after the
HEtlon.
In conclusion, we should like to say that campus
ejections are no more foolish than some of the
things done by our elders. It is difficult to tell
whether they should be condemned because they
art) farces, or should be highly-commended for that
ery same reason. All In all, they are quite some
fun If not taken too seriously, furnish an emotional
and nervous outlet, give the Nebraskan some copy.
Bom go into hysterics condemning alections. The
only thing we deplore about the whole thing Is that
the class officers could be so useful, hut are
wasted
The political machine has rumbled into place,
the ballots are printed. Let's don't pay any atten
tion to the platforms, which mean nothing, enter

""""" As soon as Saturday's game was well under

department, under the usual restrictions of sound news

has ever been as stark as the existing one, you may
bask in the holy martyrdom of being able to take
it like no one else ever could.
So it is thai when gazing into the past we are
apt to become a bit short-sighted and take liberal
ism speaking for liberalism actually living. Liberal
ism has spoken in almost all ages, but, practically,
it has seldom found its way into being. In America
today frequent speeches by "100 per cent Amer
icans" are sufficient to keep a lot of persons under
the illusion that they are living in a free country.
All this is based on the definition of liberalism
which the debaters apparently agreed upon: that it
involves freedom from bureaucratic control; or spir
itual freedom, free Individualism and the unfettered
right of self-expression for all mankind. Did lib
eralism in that sense have its inception with the
Reformation and the Renaissance and flourish for
four centuries under the impetus of the bourgeoisie ?
McGill debators believed that it did. Did such lib
eralism exist even in the halcyon days of ancient
Greece?
Perhaps the debaters should have quit wrang
ling over the question as to whether liberalism was
dead or dormant and drawn up a resolution some
thing like this: "Liberalism, though it spcaketh, is
not yet born."

Blacklist or
Bargaining'
TO THE EDITOR:
With the placing of one of the prominent down
town fraternities on the "blacklist," the Lincoln
Musicians' Union has again shown the University
of Nebraska soc'al organizations that the Union is
not to be trifled with, in the hiring of orchestras
for dances, house parties and other college affairs.
A group is placed on the blacklist for using a non
union band, this action prohibiting them from en
gaging union players until a specifed fine is paid.
Consequently a union orchestra would draw a heavy
penalty for playing for any group on the blacklist.
Does the fact that a fraternity or sorority is
engaging a non-union orchestra merit such penalty ?
Altho unfairness may be evidenced in the view of
the union is not its subsequent action an injustice
to the right of an organization to use its own dis
cretion? A union of workers is interested in its own at
tainments and progress. There is a prejudice shown
in so far as they block out others from possible
work, thus supporting and working the closed-shop
theory. To force unionism in such a measure upon
university circles is unjustifiable to an institution
that adheres to a policy of freedom of action.
It is interesting to note that the fees of a union
band are greatly in advance of those of a non-union
orchestra. Altho it may evidence the desirability
of belonging to a union in order to obtain a higher
wage scale, there are non-union players who are
better musicians than some belonging to the union.
We f hould not, however, judge the Musicians'
Guild too harshly. It is attempting to protect its
members and mould them into a compact unit But
the blacklist has the purpose and effect of gaining
thru force what cannot be gained thru services rendered.
An organization of Greek and Barb societies to
combat the blacklist theory could result in a sense
of collective bargaining and do away with any hard
feelings and misgivings.

CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Armistice Day
Why?
The lost generation of today, the boys and girls
who are maturing in this era of depression, are
asking the generation that fought in the World war
which began tenty years ago, when this generation
was yet unborn, "Why?" The keynote of Armis
tice, 1934, is "Why?" Why are things as they are?
Why did we fight the war that has been followed
by this disturbing era?
The men who fought in the World war, fondly
referred to at the time as the lost generation, were
confident in the belief that they were fighting a war
to end war. a war to make the world safe for de
mocracy. Those who came home believed that they
had participated in a struggle from which events
would be dated for years to come.
They expected that their children would be ask
ing, in this year, 1934, "What did you do in the
great war?" But strangely enough the war mem
ory has faded with startling rapidity. In a remark
ably short time it has lost much of Its significance.
Even now the Revolutionary and Civil wars seem to
hold more meaning for the United States.
Children born in that era of turmoil are not
asking what happened in the World war. They are
more interested in the "why" of the war and subse
quent events. The economic situation in which the
nation now finds itself has had far reaching effects.
It is felt in every home, in every family. The youth
of today is faced with the prospect of shouldering a
staggering burden. The boys and girls who are
turning into men and women, finding the door of
opportunity closed, a veil drawn over the future, and
the country in the throes of economic readjustment,
wonder why they must begin life under such handicaps.
The tasks of today transcend the memory of a
decade and a half, or more, ago. The gigantic eco
nomic struggle of today crowds out thought of that
great struggle at arms of twenty years ago. The
meaning of that struggle remains, however, if we
will but probe for it Today's events should make
us even more anxious to determine causes and if
possible, a cure.

'PAGING THE
SMART COED'
The maddest and merriest mad
crd of the season is the new Cos
sack, or Russian Toque, which is
being shown at the most fashion
able of shops. Lois Rathburn re
cently purchased one of these new
hats, a very tricky affair in black
with a bright blue perny learner.
Other hats being shown are these
off-the-face Bengallne models.
Street and ankle length dresses
of all descriptions were seen last
week-end at theZ various ian
parties on the campus. Although it
is not proper to be seen in street
attire without hat and gloves many
of the fair coeds disobeyed con
vention and arrived at the parties
without either. This is probably
due to the fact that these cute little
curls acros sthe forehead seem to
have taken the campus by storm
and it is almost impossible to wear
a hat with this type of coiffure.
Carnenne Felter. who is now
wearing her hair short with rolls
and rolls of curls in the back ana
this little friz of hair on her fore
head, was seen Friday nig-ht wear
ing a very striking dress of black
velvet wun a wnue veivet lumc,
Little tails of ermine are worn on
the left shoulder, thus completing
a very good-looking outfit.
Sancha Kilburn appeared at one
of the parties in a black silk crepe
dress with a bright red tunic but
tening up the back also of the
same material. The dress reveals a
split skirt as most of the new
dresses do this fall. If Sancha
wishes to remove her tunic an en
tirely new outfit of plain black silk
crepe Is revealed, the only touch of
color being gold sequils around the
neckline and a gold sequin neit.
Something else new just this
season is tne pouicner-Doy areas
which is worn very well by Vir
ginia Selleck. The interesting
thing about this new creation is
that it is belted in the front, thus
leaving the jacket quite loose in
the back. "Gin's" dress is of black
crepe and with it she wears black
suede oxfords and a black silk hut.
Cathleen Long has been seen
wearing a very different sport out
fit of black wool. The front of the
Jacket is made of unborn lamb and
in place of a collar she wears a
black and gold taffeta bow. With
this outfit she sports black suede
oxfords and a black felt hat with a
black and white feather.
Although the whole Nebraska
campus is taking the trip to Kan
sas this week-end the girls will
probably wear their most exciting
frocks and maybe they can attract
the attention of some of the Kan
sas he-men.
Faahiouubly yours.
POLLIE. I
Dead, Dormant,
Or Unborn?
Liberalism, though it yet speaketh, is dead."
A negative debating team from Oxford and
Cambridge did its best to disprove that resolution
last Monday night, but its best was not enough to
keep an affirmative McGill University squad from
gaining the decision.
Liberalism is dead and buried in both the eco
nomic and political ( national and international
fields. McGill men declared, Amid a general com
plex of fer, political bureaucracy at home and
economic nationalism are gripping the world.
Even in our own country and in the college
field, liberals those few who yet speak look upon
3uch events as the oust'ag of five U. C L. A. stu
dents for communistic leanings "and attempting to
destroy the university" and find it not good.
Better teams than Oxford-CAmbridge would
have a pretty hard time proving that liberalism has
life today. The average man is more interested in
economic security, and the state la seeking prepar
edness as a buffer against war. On many aides
democratic institutions have given way to dictatorships..
Some might be inclined to think, however, that
liberalism is more a thing of the future than of the
past that it has never really lived except in isolat
ed cases.
When the present is gloomy the past always
looks a lot rosier. If you can believe that no crisis

leek, Husker business manager of
athletics, announced that 500 tick
ets had been secured for the game,
in a special Nebraska section, and
that more could be obtained later
in the week if necessary. The
tickets sell for $2.20 each.
The special train, which will
carry the band, frosh gridders and
pep organizations as well as stu
dents who do not drive to the
game, will leave Lincoln at 7 a. m.
Saturday morning, and arrive in
Lawrence at noon, giving the stu
dents plenty of time for a last
minupte rally before the opening
kickoff. Returning, the train is
scheduled to leave Lawrence at
midnight, and will arrive in Lin
coln between 5 and 6 a. m. Sunday
morning. Round trip fare will be
$4, according to Union PJacific
officials, who are running the spe
cial. Traditional rivals, the mere fact
that the teams were meeting once
sgain was enough to drum up con
siderable enthusiasm among Ne
braska students, but recent devel
opments, pointing to a first-class
struggle, apparently have served
to raise that interest to an even
higher point.
The Jaybawks have recently bat
tied both Oklahoma and Iowa
State to tie decisions in confer
ence games, serving notice that
they will be plenty tough. The
Huskers nipped the Sooner by a
more 5-0 margin, and then
squeezed out an even narrower 7-6
decision over the Iowa State grid
forces.
The second national conference
of students in politics will be held
in St. Louis, Mo., from Dec. 27

'Word Dreaming' Subject of Article
By Dr. Louise Pound; Poetry Often
Results From Experiences in Sleep
Vide is most unfair. Some of us must spend tortured nights
in preparation, of tomorrow's theme, while others are apparently
favored with "Your Lesson While You Sleep." There are prob
ably only a few students, however, who are included among the
favored, for, according to Dr. Louise round, "Dreaming in
word form is rarer among the un-o
lettered."
In view of the fact that the ver
bal side of dreaming has not re
ceived the attention that has been
thrust upon dream happenings,
scenes, and papeantry, Dr. Louise
Pound of the English department
of the university has made a study
of dream linguistics. Her paper,
"On the Linguistics of Dreams,"
was published in the October num
ber of "American Speech." It
consists of illustrative material on
the verbal phases of dream expe
rience, which she collected, as op
portunity arose, from different
sources over a period of several
years.
Miss Pound says that such ma
terial is not easily available, for
It Is difficult for the normal per
son to recapture words, phrases, or
sentences which they experience in
drowsiness. "Dream language slips
away as rapidly as dream pagean
try, and it is not often that one
dreams in intelligible language
form."
Poetry has often been known to
be composed in dreams, according
to Dr. Pound. Milton and Coler
idge are both said to have com.
posed passages in sleep, and to
have retained them well enough to
write them down on awakening,
Less familiar examples of dream
verse often consist of quatrains
composed by someone who has
written but little poetry. One of
the illustrations Included in Miss
Pound's article is reported to have
been dreamed in Philadelphia in
1893 by a man who had seen a
prizefight the day before. The
quatrain is:
"At first they fought with tooth
and tongue,
But when It came to blows,
The man who had the stronger
lung
Blew off the other's nose."
There Is a certain amount of wit
found in some of the examples of
dream writing embodied in Miss
Pound's paper. One illustration of
dialogue writing is: "In my dream
my older sister reproved me for
some request. 'Don't be a pert lit
tle monkey,' she sail I responded,
was not pertly monkeying, I
was politely requesting'."
Several examples are found in
the material collected on the titles
of novels composed in sleep. Hav
ing composed a novel in his sleep,
the dreamer can remember only
the title upon awaking. "The Phil
andering Hick," and "Wastebask
ets of the Mighty," are examples
of these names without a story.
So far, dream utterances have
only a curious human Interest But
Miss Pound says, in concluding her
article, that, "Perhaps when such
material has been brought together
over long periods of time, and from
many sources, it may be found to
have not only unmistakable hu
man Interest but a scientific value
that is not now apparent."
Voting Interest in the Gage style
contest is increasing since nomina
tions were closed and the number
of contestants limited to thirteen.
Jean Tucker leads the list of en
tries in the contest to determine
the five most stylish girls at the
university.
Every girl who has been nomi
nated will have an equal chance
since all students, professors and
others receiving the Dally Nebras
kan have the right to vote. The
ballot box for the contest is located
in the office of the student news
paper in the basement of Univer
sity hall.
As previously announced. Madam
Schrader, internationally known
stylist will personally design a
Gage hat for each of the winners.

braska university's most stylish
women together with their votes
recorded in thousands are: Jean
