Group May Offer Amendment
To Constitution at
Election.
VOTING SET FOR OCT. 29
Governing Body Sponsors
'Get Out the Vote'
Campaign.
Filings for junior and senior
class presidencies, honorary colo
nel, and Nebraska sweetheart
open Monday and will remain
open until Friday of this week.
Candidates meeting the eligibility
requirements should apply at the
student activities office tn the
coliseum between the hours of 9
and 5 o'clock.
"We urge anyone aspiring to
the offices to file," stated Jean
Walt, chairman of the eligibility
committee, "We are particularly
desirous of having a large num
ber of candidates enter the race
for these four offices."
Propose Change.
Answering requests of factions
and the dean of student affairs,
the student council may submit an
amendment regarding eligibility
for council membership to the
student body at the fall elections,
Oct. 29, it was revealed by Irving
Hill, president of the council Fri
day. Whether or net the meas
ure will be submitted hangs upon
the decision of the council when
it meets Wednesday.
The proposed amendment will
be to Article 4, Sec. 3, Div. 2 of
the constitution which now reads
". . . each candidate shall have a
scholastic average of at least 75
percent and shall have no stand
ing delinquencies." The change
as suggested by the eligibility
committee would strike out the
delinquency clause which authori
ties had a great deal of difficulty
in interpreting.
The student body will Oct. 29
either accept or reject the amend
ment when they go to the polls to
elect the honorary colonel, Ne
braska sweetheart, and junior and
senior class president.
Hoping to arouse the interest of
all university students, the council
will sponsor a "Get Out the Vote"
campaign, placing posters on all
bulletin boards and in all organ
ized houses on both the city and
ag campuses.
Regular polling places will be
maintained on the downtown
campus in the first floor lobby of
Temple theater, and on the ag
campus in Ag hall.

There is about seven times as much outside textbook read

indicates that students (who did
find time for additional reading in
variably turned to books on litera

Of the 4,167 books read from
the university library during this
period, 640 were mostly of the
students' own choosing and 3,537
were required as supplemental ma

Of the 640, so-called amusement
books, 177 were literature books,
including the novel, poetry, essays,
dramas, and criticisms. Next most
popular were books on history, in

stories, and third in appeal, were
specialized stories dealing with
sociology, political science, law

Only Novices at Observing Football
Invited to Meting of M Uub, W.A.A.
Ed Weir to Point Out Facts
About Great Collegiate
Sport Wednesday.
The novice and not the post
graduate in the art of watching a
football game is invited to the
mass meeting 7 o'clock Wednes
day night that the Women's Ath
letic Association and N club are
jointly sponsoring for the student
body. Realizing that half of the
spectators at a football game have
comparatively little knowledge f
just what is happening during the
valiant struggle, the two athletic
organizations have engaged Ed
Weir to point out the salient fact
about this great collegiate sport. -
Moving pictures of the Nebraska-Kansas
contest at Manhattan
will be shown, the first feature in
thia new course of instruction.
Slow-motion action will be taken
as basis for "Professor" Weir's
presentation, with the explanation
of types of plays and how they are
executed following during the class
session.
Both men and women are urged
to attend this initial meeting which
is to be held In Social Sciences
Auditorium.
"I've been thinking ci showing
ed out during the week, forty-one
texts on the natural sciences, thirty-two
books on fine arts, thirty
one on useful art subjects, seven
teen on philology, the study of
languages, nineteen religious books
and ten general works, including
periodicals and bibliographies.
The university library is sup
posed to contain only books of
goodly repute, excluding detective
stories, and the modern cheap love
stories. Its shelves, however, do
hold enough interesting pieces of
fiction to satisfy thedemands of
the entire student body. -
"All our new books which are
placed on display where students
may see them are taken out im
mediately," Mrs. Graham said.
"What the university needs is a li
brary large enough to allow for a
reading room where new books
and those more worth while may
be displayed to attract proper at
tention." '
Point of View." Wentworth Fling,
language instructor, will report on
"French House at Columbia Uni
versity," while Miss Evelyn Dia

the mental hygiene and character
education division will be made
Thursday by Dr. Warren R. Bailer,
instructor in history and principles
of education, and Dr. Arthur Jen
ness, professor psychology, the
latter's topic being "A Neglected
Aspect of Mental Hygiene."
Mrs. Hattie Woods Hampshire

For several years, the freshman
football coach ha gone out over
the state with movies of the Corn
husker game and has found en
thusiastic reception. He expressed
approval of the W. A. A. and N
club promoting the meeting this
week, especially since it precedes
the Dad's Day game so closely.
Eventually a more educated stu
dent body may view the games,
lusty school spirit being backed up
with knowledge of the plays and
intricacies involved. It is with this
goal in mind that the Wednesday
session has been planned.

ARTS. E
Deans Make Tentative Plans
To Keep Courses in
Step With Times.
Curricula changes in step with
the times are now beinr considered
by university authorities for the
engineering and arts colleges, it
was announced Saturday.
If present tentative plans are
approved, engineering students will
need 136 credit hours to graduate,
eleven more than arc required now
for a bachelor's degree. Altho still
in the discussion stage, Dean O. J.
Ferguson of the college of engi
neering, said plans call for a com
pletion of the course in the same
length of time, four years. The
suggested change came as the re
sult of a scries of meetings a year
ago of the engineering course of
studv committee of which Prof.
Jiles Haney, of the department of
mechanical engineering, is chair
man. Will Require More English.
As a part of the newly proposed
program, designed to give students
a broader education, all engineer
ing students will be required to
take six hours of English instead
of four. The remaining nine credit
hours will be divided in such a way
as to strengthen the basic engi
neering courses and at the same
time to allow students more lati
tude in selecting electives from the
liberal arts group.
Proposals are all in the tentative
stage and recommendations of the
course of study committee must
first be approved by the faculty of
the engineering college and must
then receive final approval from
the chancellor and board of re
gents. First of a series of fall meetings
of the study group were held the
past week, and officials hope to
iron out all details in time to have
necessary changes listed in the
new catalogue. Members of t h e
course' of study committee include

Bell Talks on Kodiac Island Trip.
Anthropology Force Finds Tuo Types Man.
"The problem of ancient American settlement, is a vast
jigsaw puzzle with pieces scattered all over the continent, de

summer.
Association with so famous a
man as Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, out

perspective after years of detail
work were the most important
things to Professor Bell.

With two major campaign crises
passed, status quo of Nebraska's
two political factions seemed as
sured for the coming fall election
without splits, realignments, or up
homralu in nnrtv lines. Shifting
votes in caucuses indicate that in

Progressive representatives

MANHATTAN. Kas. Northern
Cornhusker invaders, fresh from
an intersectional battle with the
nation's champions, were held to
. tio hv a nluckv and
determined Kansas State footbaH
team at Manhattan Saturday.
It was a perfect day for a foot
ball game. The crowd 16.200
strong was one of the largest m
the history of the Manhattan sta
dium. But those who came with
the idea of witnessing a thrilling
contest between two strong teams
went home remembering little
more than the scoreless tie. a
great all-round Kansas State
backfield, and a listless perform
ance by Nebraska.
While the K-Aggies didn't save
any more out of the fire than the
Huskers, they played better foot
ball all afternoon and certainly
earned that indefinite distinction
known as a moral victory.
Decided Favorite.

ite. It may have been, and un
doubtedly was, too much Minneso

gun salute given Governor Landon
before the game; it may have been
the fact that no team has crossed
the Kansas state goal line in their
home stadium since 1933: but
Wildhorse Cardwell and Jerry La
lust couldn't eet to first
base. And the Husker line, which
looked like what it takes last
Saturday, splintered and cracke i
and broke throughout the game.
.allowing the Wildcat tacklers t
sharpen their claws on disastrous
scarlet backfield losses.
Took Everything.
While the K-Aggie line was tak
ing everything Nebraska had to
give and more, the Wildcats
turned loose a trio of rapid fire
backfield Leviathans in Red El
der. Leo Ayeis. and Ted Warren
to do their own marching.
And, overlooking the fact that
they brought home ten first downs
to Nebraska's six, gained 235
yards to Nebraska's 138, -and re
turned punts 108 yards to Ne
braska's 9, they perched them
