COLDER WEATHER ASSURES HO 01 WINTER CARNIVA STUDENTS FAVOR NEW DEAL ADMINISTRATION Roosevelt Shows Indisputable Popularity in Campus; President Leads His Nearest Rival by More Than 300 Votes. stn.lpi.t n.ilitieal sentiment, dreds of ballots cast in the political poll recently conducted on the campus through the auspices of the Daily Xebraskan, has taken form quite in harmony with the principles of the present administration. President Roosevelt has shown indisputable DoDularity among students oiu every department of the university as he leads his nearest rival by over 300 votes in the early tabula tions. Without exception the existing measures of the administrative machine which have been suffi ciently tried, have polled a suffi cient number of votes to indicate commendable popularity among members of the student body. Sev eral newer and proposed programs however, failed to meet witn tne favor of the majority of the student voters aa they voted the Guffey Coal Act and the Townsend plan down by a five to one vote, and the Wagner Labor Act and Social Security act by slightly smaller margins. Students Against Bonus. If the students of the university were controlling our governmental policy, there would be no immedi ate payment of the bonus, as they voted 4 to 1 against it.

The Coun cil will discuss a campaign, which will include urging students to sell and buy books only at the uni versity store.

Eleanor Clizbe, will report on the campaign to complete the council's flips hu calline- in constitutions of all campus organizations. A discussion or tne rsig ei.x con ference will be led by Marylu Pet Arson r hnirman of the committee. The Council will consider the pos sibilities of the conference Deing held In Lincoln this spring. as reflected through the hun other hand our country would 101 low a policy of military prepared ness to prevent future wars, indi cated by a two to one vote by the balloting students. The National Recovery Act, which the federal supreme court declared unconstitutional in the early part of last summer, seems to meet with decided disfavor among voters of the Btudent body while the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which died at the hands of the same body of justices early this month, polled especially favor ably. Whether the merits of the most recent measure surpassed those of its senior program suffi ciently to warrant such a variation or whether the liking of the stu dent body are swayed by the stand ing of the measure at the time of balloting is questionable. Republican Vote Higher. In the face of the figures shown (Continued on Page 4), OTAL HITS 1600 Wins Phi Chi Theta Award Alaire Barkes, senior in the col lege of business administration, was awarded the Phi Chi Theta key, given to the girl ranking highest in scholarship i n the junior class of last year and rep resentative girl of the class, at the annual B 1 z a d honors c o n v o c a tion held Tuesday morning in So c 1 a 1 Sciences a u d 1 1 o r 1 urn.

E Research Writer Surveys Cribbing; New Photo Section Added. Exam week fare for tired read ers will be found in the contents of Awgwan's January issue, which Editor Howard Dobson promises will be on sale Monday morning. Reflected in a blue and white cover design by Marjorie Hatten is the central theme mid-year tests with a picture of Joe College and Josephine Coed burning the mid night oil. Realizing his duty to a reading public, Bill Hollistcr, director of the "Campus Research" depart ment of the magazine, has pre pared an exhaustive survey of novel and ingenious methods of cribbing for the edification of an exam-minded audience. Every Awgwan contributor, like the magazine itself, has a policy. While the Awgwan's is "Economy plus sophistication, but mostly economy," that of Lewis Cass has lately been "A new role every month." For three years he was content to turn out good cartoons; last month he turned essayist and wrote a research article; this month he pens a sonnet. Title of the poem is "Janus," paying trib ute to the Roman god responsible for a reason to issue another Awgwan. To make up for a slim Gore sec tion, crack photographer Bill Clay ton has sneaked a full page of pic tures from fraternity and sorority houses, illustrating various types of study tables and reading halls. Realizing thr,' this might not make up for lost interest, he has also contributed a new feature, the "Camera Story," details of which he would not disclose to the press. Damon Sanden, perennial con tributor of short stories, style notes, and space fillers, comes thru this month with a full page thriller entitled "On the Operating Table," a very short story built around the reincarnation theme. To fill out the issue, and add to the reader's diversion, a large number of selected clipped jokes and car toons arc contained in the new edi tion, according to Editor Dobson.

The movie is well known to American theater goers as it has been shown twice, once as a silent and once as a talkie with Marie Dressier playing the title role. The picture was then entitled "Her Sweetheart." In English the title is now known as "The Late Chris topher Bean." Lionel Barrymore starred in a radio production oi the play on the air recently.

At a meeting of the interfra ternity council Tuesday night, members voted $200 from the treasury and all the profits that will accrue from the 1936 Inter fraternity ball. Committee Forges Ahead. With the approval of the regents of the application for a $400,000 building which was granted Saturday, the Union Com mittee, headed by Irving Hill, forged ahead in its attempt to raise funds for the structure. "Altho the regents will apply for a 45 percent grant and a 55 per cent loan with which to finance the building, this sum does not in clude furnishings for the activities center," stated Mr. Hill. "It re mains to the student body to raise funds in order to furnish the building." "Student organizations have re sponded admirably to the cam paigning for funds," stated Bill Marsh, member of the union com mittee. "The task now remaining is to contact departments for pledges." L OF Proceeds of Party Expected To Amount to Liberal Contribution. Total profits from the Interfra ternity ball plus an additional $200 were pledged in support of the student union drive by a vote of members of the Greek council at a meeting Tuesday evening. In view of the preparation of one of the largest parties of the year, mem bers seemed confident that the tentative proceeds from the dance would raise the pledge to a liberal sum. Joe Roth, chairman of the com mittee in charge of orchestras for the approaching mid-year festival, stated that the committee has al ready contacted several nationally famous dance bands and altho no definite action has been taken as yet, he reported that "we plan to give the students one of the best nprilioct ran in the country and in he history of Nebraska social activi ties." Ralph Eldrige, chairman of the ittpon on committees rnorted action taken thus far toward the party and urged the chairman or the respective committees in charge to organize and take ac tion as soon as possible.
