Magazine Features Cartoon,
Editorial, Picture
Sections.
The well oiled campus frater
nity machine runs into a batch
of sand in the forthcoming is
sue of the Awgwan wherein an
unknown writer satirically re
lates, "Fraternity Life: I Don't
Like It!" The article leads off a
list of articles and features which
go to make up the Christmas issue
of the Awgwan, appearing on the
campus stands Thursday morning.
Included among the most amus
ing standouts in this month's issue
is an Illustrated poem, "Cow Col
lege," written by Maurice Johnson.
While poetry readers of the Awg
wan have expressed keen appreci
ation for the magazines efforts to
satisfy their demands for better
poetry, Miss Alice Beekman. edi
tor of the Awgwan. feels that this
poem supersedes all others.
Other feature articles of this is
sue include "The League of An
thony Adverse Leathers," which
attempts to voice the sentiments oi
that great mass of collegians who
have a suspicion they wouldn't like
the nation's best seller should they
read it, according to Miss Beek
man. Jean Gallant and Howard
Dobson return again this month
with another series of enlightening
book reviews. Martha DeWeese de
votes a page of women's fashions
to conclude the major editorial con
tributions. And by the way of edi
torials, the Awgwan features a full
page letter to Santa Claus, in
which the magazine voices its ap
proval and disapproval of the pres
ent campus setup.
"While it may appear to Awg
wan readers that the next issue
contains a predominance of edito
rial matter, much of the magazine
is taken up with art work," stated
Miss Beekman.
Headlining the pictoral contents
of the issue is a full page picture
titled, "The Snow Shovcler Night
mare," taken from Dwight Kirsch's
collection of photographs. In addi
tion the Awgwan carries a full
page picture of Miss Sancha Kil
bourne, recently crowned Nebraska
Sweetheart. And while the memorv
of the Military Ball is still fresh in
the minds of campus socialities, n
full page is devoted to the Batal
lion and Regimental sponsors of
the Military Ball.
A cover appropriate for th?
theme is drawn iy Elgas. Included
also in this issue is a galaxy of
tartooiib and line drawings carry
ing out the Christmas and formul
idea of the magazine.

announced," stated Jar". Nickolas,
assistant business manager of th

speak on the emission of electrons
from thorlated tungsten filaments

An extract from a letter re
ON GERMAN SETTLERS
Last Nebraska Farmer Issue
Includes Article by
Professor.
First German settlers in Nebras
ka and their contributions to the
development of the state, forms
the subject of an article appearing
in the last issue of the Nebraska
Farmer written by Dr. W. H.
Werkmeister, professor in the phi
losophy department.
According to the article, Prince
Maximilian zu Wied was one of the
earliest scientists to describe Ne
braska in print, basing his writ
ings on personal explorations made
in this territory during the last
half of the nineteenth century.
Two of the larger cities in the
state, Grand Island and Norfolk,
were started as purely German
settlements, the account reveals,
while Stolley Park in Grand Is
land is a memorial to the leader of
that band of original settlers.
Contributions made to the gen
eral improvement of the Nebraska
territory, including the start of the
sugar beet industry, are outlined
in the article.
It was learned that the article is
due to be reprinted in the near fu
ture in the Omaha Daily Tribune,
a German newspaper.

which she had found to be success
ful through personal experience.
She considered briefly the prob

goal in life, and of personal con
tentment. Her talk consisted main
ly of small, practical aids in the
art of living.

By Lorraine Campbell.
Miss lngeborg Oesterlin, student
from Heidelburg. Germany, stopped
suddenly, in the midst of a typical
ly German men1 of summer sau
sage, pumcrlic? a bread, "holey"
cheese and sauerkraut, and as
sumed a listening attitude. A
dreamy expression apjeared in her
eyes and she started to hum, sway
ing slightly to the music. "That Is
to me, a beautiful piece," she said
referring to a selection from
Carmen being broadcasted in a re
cent chain program.
Thia statement led to a discus
sion of American and European
music appreciation, from which it
waa discovered that Misa Oesterlin
in addition to being familiar with
the story of practically every well
known ojera, haa had the privilege
of seeing the majority of them pre
sented by professional opera com
panies. "That ia what 2 misa in your
