Sanla Claus, Joe Louis, Irving Hill
Win Following in Presidential Poll
Evidently believing that moat of
the possible presidential candidates
in the United Stales are unworthy
of their support, a large number of
flippant voters on the Cornhusker
campus are looking elsewhere for
leadership in the white house.
Taking advantage of the oppor
tunity offered in the Daily Nebras
kan's student-faculty poll, campus
voters have named Prof. T. T.
Smith, Prof. Harold Stoke, Santa
Claus, Irving Hill, Joe Loufs and
W. C. Fields as president choices.
Prof. "T. Square" Smith, physics
department; Professor Stoke, po
litical science instructor, Santa
Claus, mid Joe I-iuis are in a close
race for leadership, it was revealed
by a checkup on those who do not
favor President Roosevelt, Herbert
Hoover, Gov. Alt" Ijindon, Frank
Knox or Senator Morris.
Smith in Lead.
Of the above candidates, Pro
fessor Smith is loading by a small
margin, allho latest returns showed ,
that Mr. Louis, the brown bomber
from Detroit, was threatening- to
take the leadership. Professor
Stoke follows In third place posi
tion with Santa Claus not so far
behind.
Receiving the least support yet
mentioned as candidates were Irv
ing Hill, president of the student
council; W. C. Fields, movie actor,
and McGillicudahy of Camel Cara
van fame. In this group, Mr. Hill
was low man, being able to muster
only a single second choice vote.
The voter chose Morman Thomas
as his first choiee for president and
in parenthesis named the student
council head as next best candi
date. One sludent announced his ap
parent disgust with politics with a
one's as bad as the other. " An
other wrote on the ballot, "any
body but Roosevelt; maybe a good
conservative democrat."
Still another declared former
President Hoover as his hope with
'give the old boy another chance.
400 EXPECTED ATTEND
UNIVERSnr AG AFFAIR
Wanted! an
Intelligent Santa.
CHRISTMAS has come to be
recognized by all Christian
peoples as a period for giving
rather than contentiously adhering
to time worn prejudices and prac
tices of selfishness. It is with this
as an ideal that Americans have
come to build within their country
a tradition of good will.
So it should be with the more
localized communities. Universi
ties should foster such a spirit, and
it should range from the halls of
administration to the classrooms.
With this in mind, the Nebraskan
wishes to suggest that the admin
istration can find no better oppor
tunity to lot their Christmas sen
timents take definite form than in
the application for a PWA grant
to finance a student union build
ing. Even at this late date there re
mains a possibility of securing
PWA appropriation, according to
official sources. Since recent pro
posals submitted to the board of
regents received 'such a cordial
hearing, and in view of renewed
student enthusiasm backed by cash
pledges, realization of the new
union never seemed nearer. Timely
action in making the application
would save the students nearly
half the cost of construction, and
such a present would certainly be
worth its expense, which consists
of immediate decision.
Latest developments demonstrate
a tone of sincerity in the student
body which the regents can hardly
ignore. Contributions in cold cash
from representative organizations
in the first few days of a campaign
should clear the last cobweb of
doubt entertained by the regents
as to desire of the students to pro
cure such a building.
Students have played Santa
Claus for nearly a year, and can
well expect a reciprocal action.
The swimming pool assessment
they voted some years ago has
been continued thru the considera
tion of the administration, allho
the pool deficit was completely
cleared. In view of their perpetual
Christmas spirit, students can well
afford to say, "What about it.
Santa?" Let's have, a more prac
tical and intelligent Santa Claus.

600 HEAR LAING SPEAK
ON HORACE THURSDAY
in his power to aid his son in
reaching these heights and so ap
parent was his devotion to this
cause that the speaker suggested
that never has anything been de
veloped in education or parental
control which has surpassed the
love of the old slave for his son.
Tells Poet's Philosophy.
Describing the philosophy of the
poet as a "hedonistic philosophy
teniDered with conscience," Mr.
Laing continued by expressing Ho
race's love of the simple. "Travel
ing in the highest society be sees
the luxury of the beggars," de
clared the speaker.
In describing various aspec ts of
the type of subjects which Horace
developed, the speaker showed that
Horace sang in praise ol wine, fol
lowing the example of the lyric
poets of the day, and, be added,
"Horace treated his subject sym
pathetically but always ended with
stanzas showing benefits of tem
perance." Discusses Art.
When Horace said, "Would you
call a painter's picture that start
ed to be a horse and then was sur
mounted by a human head, art?"
he did not realize that that type of
painting would be the highest form
of artistic expression today with
the rise of modem art, Mr. Laing
commented.
Horace accomplished in his
works of satire that which Addison
and his contemporary did in the
Spectator, according io the speak
er. Mr. Laing completed his address
by pointing out that the cultural
side of life should stand in place
along with the materialistic aspect
of living today and that the cul
tural side classed as impractical
by certain persons today has sel
dom proven such.

curiosity and ambition which aided
him to rise above the class of the Oldfather, dean of the arts and sci
