The Spring Election
Season Is On.
A PPROACHING Big Sister Board elections are a
reminder that the spring election season ia get
ting under way nicely. Last week the A. W. S. had
its annual field day, and thus the festivities were
started. About next in line is the Mortar Board
and May Queen elections. Of course, towering far
above all is the race for student council and publica
tions board positions.
Junior hopefuls, both men and women, are ap
proaching these fights with the do-or-die look on
their faces. For some of them, it is make the grade
or else or else they won't make the coveted senior
honorary. Last year the Student council set the
spring election ahead of Ivy day, providing a con
venient opportunity for some to take another whack
at compiling an activity list.
While women's politics have always supposed
to be free from politics, and the Mortar Boards have
declared that such shall be the case, it is still open
to doubt whether women's elections are as snow
white as they like to claim. It is suspected that
there is still plenty of undercover and down-cellar
work In picking the right woman for the right posi
tion. Men, on the other hand, make no pretense to
having nice clean elections, and to be free from
political machinations. In fact, it is quite the cus
tom for the faction meetings to smell of rotten eggs.
AND so, as spring comes on, campus politicians
begin to sharpen their knives, and the zest for
battle becomes apparent in their eyes. Their's is
the job of building campus B. M. O. C.'s and how
they enter into the spirit of the thing.
The two factions will cast apprehensive glances
at the barb bloc, wondering just which way that
rather unstable group of voters is going to turn, for
a strong barb vote can swing the election either
way.
Platforms will be formed; promises and com
promises made; coalitions will be formed within the
factions; there will be much logrolling; much loud
talk and repetition of campaign slogans will be
heard; and finally there will be an election.
It is rather interesting, if one cares to take the
time, to make conjectures about how the new fac
tions will fare in the second year of their existence.
It might even be interesting to wonder if there will
be new factional alignments.
Just wherein the value of it all lies is not appar
ant, but one is not supposed to ask such embarras
sing questions. Anyway, it will provide a little di
vertisement to the regular classroom routine and
after all, what would school life be without its extra
curricular activities?
The Other Side
Of the Mouth.
COM EON E is talking out of the other side of his
mouth now, and that somebody is Forest C. Al
len, athletic director at Kansas university. Allen
and the Kansas campu. were protesting several
weeks ago the unsportsmanlike conduct of the fans
at the Kansas-Nebraska basketball game here in
Lincoln.
No doubt much of the criticism was deserved.
The fans did behave abominably at that game. It
was not, however, mainly the fault of the student
body nor the university that the atfair happened. It
was led mostly by town supporters. Despite the
fact, however, several letters of apology were sent
to the Kansas campus, and the student body roundly
scored by campus leaders.
Now Mr. Allen, who Is somewhat of a bug on
sportsmanship, is moaning about his theory that
when one goes to Columbia to play the Misosuri
Tigers at basketball the opponents have to be "at
least 15 points better than the Tigers and the co
erced officials," according to a downtown sports
writer.
There is a search for the proverbial colored gen
tleman started when one stops to consider that in
the games to which Allen is referring, Missouri won
two in a row to stop Kansas' chances for a confer
ence title. It looks like someone's high ideals are
slipping a bit when the issue comes closer home.
There is no desire by anyone to create bad blood
among members of the Big Six conference, but with
is that old Biblical saw about the mote in thy neigh
bor's eye?
A Welcome to
High School Cagers.
CIXTEEN teams, representing the cream of the
high school basketball teams, will enter compe
tition this afternoon In the coliseum to determine
the state cage champion. This year, a true state
champion is to be decided for the Omaha teams have
been entered in the various district competition.
Many of the young men arriving on the campus
today are planning to go on with their studies after
finishing high school. Probably many of them will
come to the university. It is for the campus to show
them a true picture of college life, so that they may
not continue with the distorted picture of a univer
sity, which many of them have formed.
These men have proven their right to vie for
state honors by their ability to survive the competi
tion in district tourneys held thruout the state. Con
graulations and a hearty welcome from the campus
to the high school cagesters.
Vassar Writes
A Song.
Following William Randolph's Hearst editorial
concerning the march of 100 Vassar and Skidmore
girls on the New York capltol to protest passage of
a bill requiring college students to take an oath of
allegiance to the United States, the girls came forth
with an "extra" of the "Hearsed Miscellany News."
From an editorial titled "Keep Our Women
Wholesome" is quoted an anthem to be sung to the
tune of "America, the Beautiful."
Oh beautiful for motherhood and faith in Ran
dolph Hearsed,
We'll spill our blood for country's good; let
Communists be cursed.
Oh Vassar, Hell! O Vassar Heil! Preserve the
status quo.
Oh Constitution Glorious, you light the way we
go.
Oh beautiful for battleships, for purity and
peace,
While blood in other countries drip, our tariffs
will increase.
Heil, Vassar, Oh, Hell, Vassar. Oh, we swear
our loyalty,
Ours not to reason why, but died for Country,
Hearsed and thee.

IV
Intramural Program
Slowing Down.
TO THE EDITOR:
TOT so long ago an article appeared in the Daily
Nebraskan in which the director of intramural
athletics was quoted as saying that this year's
Intramural program was proving to be the most
successful In many years. After a little investiga
tion of the intramural system, I have my doubts
whether the director has grounds for his assertions,
and certainly there are a number of factors which
point to a contrary condition.
It has long been, that is up until this year, an
interesting fact that the spirit developed in intra
mural contests has approached the fervor displayed
in varsity sports. The intramural championship was
one of the most bitterly contested and ardently
sought after titles among the Greeks.
Today much of this spirit has died and interest
is one the wane, mainly from poor management and
carrying out of scheduled intramural programs. Per
haps the barb intramural program has reached an
enviable stage but certainly the fraternity contests
have suffered to a greater degree than the barbs
have profited.
In past years, both basketball championships,
free throw, and volleyball competition were usually
ever and out of the way by this time of the year.
Today championships are still pending and will be
held up until the high school cage meet is over. In
the meantime the teams are having no practice, are
falling out of condition and it may safely be said
that the teamwork displayed in the finals will not
be on a par with what it might have been had the
tournaments been run on time and on schedule. This
particaular instance is but one of many which have
marred the 1934-35 Greek intramural program. De
lays, postponements, and freak schedules have had
all too much sway this year.
It is interesting to realize that some scant two
and a half months of school remain, the last month
of which of course will be crowded with the usual
closing activities of the school year. Yet in this
brief time must be held the sports of track, volley
ball, baseball, horseshoes, free throw, golf, and ten
nis, not to mention the as yet unplayed basketball
finals. Compare this list with the record of touch
football, water polo, and handball which have all
been completed, and one can clearly see that this
year's intramural program is Indeed functioning to
perfection.
We might suggest for next year an intramuial
program spread out evenly throughout the year with
each event continuing through to a successful con
clusion without the numerous Interruptions and de
lays which have characterized this year's schedule.
We, the people who participate in intramurals and
who pay the fees, might be given some considera
tion In this regard. L. K.

Comment
A Modern
Julius Caesar.
As thousands of troops embark
for East Africa. Premier Mus
solini probably visions himself as
a modern Julius Caesar. He had
relatively little difficulty in plac
ing a chip on Italy's shoulder that
he hoped would be knocked off.
II Duce is interested in raising
the standards of Ethiopia. This
mean axi opening rcr nanan
fcood. Ethiopian authorities real
ize the motives prompting the dis
pute and fear aggression and the
seizure of the territory.
Fascist speakers complained
that Ethiopia has put obstacles In
the way of establishing a frontier
neutral one. However, Ethiopian
speakers declare tiat the only
thing their country desires u
Negradaa Yeiua, Ethiopian
charge d'affaires in Rome, told
.n.anorur virrnondent4 in a re
cent interview. "I tell you as I
told the Italian government that
Italy in tranquility could save her
self the fTpense of sending these
troops and guns because Ethiopia's
Intentions are so peaceful that
Italy could retire all her soldiers
and Ethiopia would not toucn
slnele stone of her colonies."
Sir John Simon, British foreign
secretary, states that the agree
ment of 1906 between Italy,
France, and Great Britain to pre
serve the political and territorial
status quo in Ethiopia is still in
force and that Britain had drawn
Italy's attention to this fact.
However, in spite cf these state
ments, Mussolini has pursued his
policy of arming. Neither France
nor England has major interests
in Abyssinia. Some politically
minded !ndMdiiU have sueeested
that perhaps France or Britain
might privately agree not to object
too loudly If Italy undertook to
impose a protectorate over Ethio
pia. This would give Mussolini a
sizeable colonial domain over
which to exert some influence.
II Duce. however, has to consider
that Ethiopia U a full-fledged
member of the League of Nations.
An aggression upon Ethiopia
would prove embarrassing for a
country that is as strong as Italy.
The Italian premier probably
knowe of the unfortunate defeat of
an Italian -army of 20.000 In the
decis battle of Adowa in March,
1896. Military authorities declare
that It would require a large army
to conquer Abyssinia, and even
after it had-been conquered, heavy
garrisons would be needed to hold
down and really pacify the coun
try. Regardless of the outcome the
aggression of Abyssinia would be
rather costly for Paly, whose fi
nancial status is not the best. The

good showmanship, but is hardly

scholar, who examines without bias
all points of view.
To shock bewildered youngsters

'PAGING THE
SMART COED'
Statistics show tnat practically
seventy-live percent of the college
men of today notice eyes firsth
and that, my fair ones proves that
care must be taken to make the
eyes as attractive as possible. A
blonde with blue eyes looks best
with pale blue shadow and brown
mascara. Blondes with brown eyes
and a skin with a yellow cast will
be more attractive with dark blue
shadow and brown mascara. Only
brunettes may wear black mascara
to any advantage and those with
brown eyes should wear a daik
brown shade of eye shadow, where
as blue eyed brunettes add much to
their appearance by wearing a
deeper shade of blue. As a general
rule the eyes of titans and red
heads look much better without the
aid of make-up.
In applying the shadow, take a
very small amount on the tip of
your little finger and start from
the inside of the eye and rub very
lightly outward and upward, never
use a rotary motion.
The eyes should be Dreoartd for
putting on mascara. Cieanse them
thoroly with a solution of salt wa
ter, then take two small bits of cot
ton and moisten them, lay over
your eyes and relax comnletely for
at least ten minutes. When these
are removed, oil the lashes well
and apply the moistened mascara
with & brusn noung careiuuy not
to let them stick togetner. The
should be started from
underneath and brushed to the
