MORRIS WILL FLY
INTO LINCOLN FOR
FRATERNTY BALL
Playmore Orchestra Leader
Brings 13 Piece Band
Here Feb. 9.
HOUSEMOTHERS GUESTS
Party Decorations Include
Colored Replicas of
Chapter Badges.
Flying to Lincoln by plane
for their one night engagc
mont, George Morris and his
million dollar Playmore orclies.
Ira, featuring Alone O'Pay and
Jimmy Atkins, will play for the
annual Interfraternlty ball from 9
to 12 o'clock on February ninth at
the Coliseum. Morris and his thir
teen piece band has been featured
for five months at the popular
Playmore ballroom in Kansas City.
The orchestra was engaged after
members of the Interfraternlty ball
committee made a special trip to
Kansas City last week to hear the
band, and council members feel
fortunate in obtaining litem for the
party. Since the Playmore ball
room is the same size as the Coli
seum, they pointed out, the or
chestra will be well adapted to the
large hall, which has reduced the
effectiveness of many visiting
bands.
Illuminated placques bearing col
ored replicas of fraternity pins will
be part of the decorations planned
for the ball. The placques were
drawn by Morris Gordon. Elabo
rate wall and ceiling decorations
are planned in addition.
The orchestra has appeared on
the programs of both the National
and Columbia broadcasting net
works, and plays regularly over
WDAF. Members of the ball com
mittee who have heard the band
recommend it highly, and assure
party-goers that it will come up to
the standard's set by other large
party bands.
Housemothers of all fraternities
have been invited to the ball as
special guests, and will assist in
chaperoning. Other chaperons are
Chancellor and Mrs. E. A. Burnett,
Dan and Mrs. T. J. Thompson.
Dean Amanda Heppner, Col. and
Mrs. C J. Franklorter, . Dr. an J
Mrs. G. E. Condra, Mr. and Mrs.
W. C. Harper, Prof, and Mrs.
Charles B. Nutting. Prof. E. F.
Schramm, Judge and Mrs. Paul
Bek, Judge and Mrs. Eberly, and
Judge H. D. Landis.
A public amplifying system will
be used, and a special wax prepa
ration will be used to insure slick
floors. Other special preparations
are under way. according to com
mittee members, to make the ball
the most successful party of tha
season.
Tickets may be obtained from

Would Have 42 Members in
Nebraska's New Form
'37 Legislature.
Explaining his "nearly perfect"
forty-two member plan for the
state's first unicameral legislature
in 1937, Dr. John P. Senning of
the department of political science
of the university spoke before a
meeting of the senate and house
unicameral committees early this
W Dr. Senning s plan, worked out
after a careful study of popula
tion distribution, local conditions,
and interests, provides for forty
two members equally distributed
over the state. He has reached
this conclusion, he stated, after
applying a number of different
combintions of numerals and dis
tricts to the problem.
The 1935 legislature has the
task of setting up a one-house
legislature of thirty to fifty mem
bers elected on a non-political bal
lot, as a result of the adoption by
the people last fall of the Norris
amendment.

FEDERAL GRANT
Burnett Heads Delegation in
Omaha Conference With
PWA Engineer.
In the hope of obtaining a part
of the $4,880,000,000 of PWA
money that has been appropriated
for re-employment in the United
States, for the use of the univer
sity, Chancellor E. A. Burnett
headed the delegation that con
ferred on the building needs of the
university with the PWA engineer,
John Latenser, jr., In Omaha last
week. Other members of the group
were: L. E. Gunderson, finance
secretary; L. F. Seaton, operating

Ferguson of the engineering col
lege. The Nebraska planning board,
which is headed by A. C. Tilley,
state engineer, will make all re
commendations to the federal au
thorities for the financing of the
projects that it selects. The board
is asking that communities, mu
nicipalities, or others who want
projects financed by this fund
should file their demands with tne
board.
Among the projects that are
considered as possible recommend

Y.W.C JL GROUP HEARS
Maintains That an Attractive
Personality Is Aim of All
Young Women.
Speaking against "Private Profi
teering for Personal Gain," Mrs
Meredith Nelson, former mem'ier
of the ttniversiy Y. W. C. A. cab
inet and of the regional council, ap
peared before the vesper service
Tuesday at 5 o'clock in Ellen
Smith hall. She was introduced by
Ruth Haggman, who also led the
devotions.
Coinciding with the special aim
of the Y. W.. universal friendship
Mrs. Nelson spoke on the personal
and social relationships or unlver
sitv students and the necessity of
their proper development. She es
pecially emphasized the relation
ship between different groups on
.. . 1 1 At J
me campus ana oeiween tne uii'
ferent races represented at the unl
vrsitv.
Against the idea of private profi
teering, she presented arguments
based on tne desire for the achieve'
ment of an attractive personality
which, she maintained, is the amni
tion of almost every young woman.
She pointed out that no personal
itv could be well-rounded if those
personalities with which it came in
contact were not normally develop
ed. The exploitation of others for
personal gain would injure tne per
sonalities contacted and thus de
feat its own purpose, she ex-
Dlained.
Mrs. Nelson rceived her M. A. in
psychology last year. While a uni
versity student she was an active
member in the Y. W. and other
campus activities. Special music
for the vesper service was furnish
ed by the vesper choir, under the

tv,pi- onitnr nf the Dailv Nebraskan
and now president of the Inter
fraternity council. The article,
which deals with the Nebraska
plan for Greek letter societies, is
entitled "The Old is Dead: Long
Live the New."
Nicoll describes the new deal
now in progress at the University
of Nebraska which is concerned
prlmarilv with economic retrench
ment. He refers to the alumni
supervision of undergraduate af
fairs and the newly organized
alumni organization, which is the
only one of its kind in the nation.
"Now alumni and undergradu
ate Greeks are fully aware that
the panacea for the fraternity
man's troubles does not lie solely
In the establishment of an organi
zation. So it has been a matter
of some speculation and campus
wide interest to measure the ac
tual progress of the alumni board
of control. An impartial apprais
al of the board's work thus far re
veals a fair degree of success,"
the article states.
Nicoll credits the success ot the
university's action to the sweeping
powers granted the board of con
trol in the case of any recalci
trance on the part of the local
chapters. He concludes with the
statement that this power was

Balloting Close on Question
Of U. S. Joining League
Of Nations Pact.
DEFEND FROM INVADERS
Conscription of Capital and
Rescources Favored by
Great Majority.
More than one thousand Me
bniska sttulents would refuse
to bear arms for the United
Slates if their country was the
iuvatler, while 20 percent, nr
294, voiced their conviction that
they would aid in an attack, ac
cording to the 325,000 ballot Lit
erary Digest peace poll covering
119 colleges and universities.
League Question Close.
The only question of policy on
which the vote was close both at
Nebraska and throughout the na
tion was the entrance of the
United States into the League of
Nations. Although the 65,000 vote
totals showed a 100 vote majority
for entrance, Nebraskans rejected
the idea by a vote of 745 to 623.
Missouri and Oklahoma followed
Nebraska's rejection policy, but
Kansas, Iowa and Iowa State cast
majorities in favor of entrance.
The largest majorities favoring
entrance Were found in large east
ern schools, and sentiment against
in the south and middlewest.
Eighty-six percent of Nebraska
students would defend their coun
try in case of foreign invasion,
compared with the close eighty
three percent vote of the entire
college group. The Nebraska vote
on the possibility of staying out of
war also tallied with the national
vote, each poll giving two-to-one
chances to "the United States stay
ing out of another great war."
Favor Conscription.
Universal conscription of all
capital and labor resources was
favored by an overwhelming forty
thousand vote majority by all col
leges, and by ninety percent of Ne
braska voters. Control of muni
tions manufacture to eliminate
private profit received even a
greater affirmative vote, com
pared with the agreement of
ninety-three percent of British stu
dents voting in a similar peace
poll.
Whether or not United States
should be prepared with an navy
and air force second to none re
ceived 560 ayes from Nebraska
voters, and 817 votes against. A
greater divergence was seen in the
national vote, in which 41,048 neg
ative votes outnumbered the 24,129
ballots for preparedness. Again a
parallel was seen in the British
vote, where an all-around abolition
of armaments was advocated by
eighty-seven percent of the voters.
