Landis, Founders9 Day Leader,
No 'Rubber Stamp9 Politician
As junior president of tlie Founders' Day organization,
John Landis, senior in the law college, will have charge of the
program which will living Gov. Alfred 1). Landon of Kansas
to speak iu Lincoln March 1. In presiding over the program,
Landis takes the place of Samuel K. jMclxelvie, president of
the Founders' Day organization, t
who is now in Jamaica,
March 1 lias been an eventful
date for Landis. Last year it
marked his entrance into politics,
when by a political fluke he
stepped into the position he now
holds with one of the most influ
ential republican groups in the
et ate.
This year March first will find
him introducing Governor Lan
don to an audience of 7,000 per
sons at the coliseum as a part of
the second annual Founders' Day
celebration which will be broad
cast over the NBC and Columhia
networks in the largest hookup
since President Roosevelt's last
message to congress.
Previous to last year Landis had
no experience in national politics,
but his short political career has
not had a dull moment since it
began.
With his father a district judge
in Seward, Neb., on the non-partisan
ticket, and two of his broth
ers active in the democratic party,
John early developed republican
sympathies. Besides his position
with the Founders' Day organiza
tion, he is a national committee
member of the young republicans
group and spoke at the same
meeting at which ex-president
Hoover gave an address in Lincoln
recently.
Kvcn in campus politics he
chose a stand independent of his
family, taking a loading part in
the progressive faction, while his
brother, Frank Landis, is presi
dent of the opposing Green Togas.
John lives in the Beta Thcta Pi
house, which supports the Green
Toga party, but he continues to
represent P. A. D., his legal fra
ternity, in the progressives.
Frank Landis Is president of
Sigma Chi. The only organiza
tion which can claim the two
brothers as members is P. A. D.,
and in this they differed from
their father who belonged to Phi
Delta Phi, another legal frater
nity. The two Landises have made
history in campus politics, at the
university, but to John "It isn
politics, it's fun."
What will he do when he grad
uates? "Starve a few years just
like any other young lawyer,
said John. As to future political
activities he mused to comment
Whatever he does, John' Landis is
one person who will never be ae
cused of "rubber stamp"' politics.

AROUND AND ABOUT
(Continued from Page 1.)
He is now dangerously ill in a hos
piiai nere, his advanced age mak
ing recovery doubtful.
Undergraduates who moan
now about the Regents' ukase
barring lighted tobacco from all
campus buildings, are referred to
"the good old days" when an
iron fence surrounded the cam
pus to keep out wandering cows
and no smoking was allowed
within the confines of the fence,
those who smoked automatically
being classed with cows. A huge
ring of cigar stubs and pipe
dottles threatened the dainty feet
of coeds entering the campus
gates since all the boys raced
out there between classes.
A science instructor of the cam
pus foists upon helpless students
every semester a story, the moral
of which is the thoro unreliability
of the press. The preface, un
varied thru the years, is, "You
can't believe a thing you see in the
papers." While this applies to de
partments such as this, such a
blanket indictment is unfair to
straight news writers.
The story the scientists story
involves press releases of some
years ago about the time King
Tut's tomb crowded Teggy Hop
kins Joyce's third marriage to
paije two and candy bars and prize
fighters were named after the ven
erable Egyptian ruler. These press
stories claimed that wheat, which
had been buried with Tut for thou
sands of years, promptly germi
nated and grew when given the
proper botanical encouragement.
This campus scientist (see Dr.
L. C. Wimberly for a description
of scientists in general) points out
or at least, claims that such vi
tality is out of the question. That
is, seeds won't keep that long. The
obvious point is that some news
paperman just made up a good
story. What is not taken into con
sideration by our local savant, is
the fact that some scientist con
nected with the expedition might
have been seeking some publicity

It's creeping up on us 1 ho spring parly season, ami al
though snow ami icicles slill crown the roof tops, thoughts of
light clothes crowd the mind of the smart collegiate; short
sleeved prints under fur coats, little silk IihIs of bright colors,
beige jersey and light wool dresses, even a few natural doeskin
shoes. And its carrying over into evening dresses. Mary (ierlnek
graced the Kappa formal in a pale pink gown of some tilmy
sun i, ana it won i oe long oeiorep
formation sensational informa
tion, in a way to get the pub
licity. IT Hall's genial custodian,
Willie, often tells of when he
first came to Lincoln 57 years
ago, we think it was how he
and his wife used to regularly
drive across the present site of
the campus in a team and
wagon. Willie has janitored
around the school here for 1
years, he says.
It won't be many years before
some crafty young collegian buys
himself a few green topped tables,
several decks of cards, rents an
apartment, and ofrers accommo
dations for ambitious poker play
ers of the campus. Spending eight
hours a day dealing a good five
or six card stud game with a mod
est limit, he could do all right for
himself. He could take in partners
to play for the house, could cold
deck certain yaps, boost limits,
and make toy.
We knew an enterprising joung
gent who operated such an estab
lishment several years ago not
here, however. He and a pal gave
bridge lessons at a modest price
and gave poker lessons under
the usual circumstances. They of
fered black jack under house
rules, and dealt five card stud and
six card low ball exclusively with
an occasional seven card high low
split to warm things up.
Anyone imagining he sees a
connection between the opening
and closing paragraphs of this
column is ordered to stand in
the corner and chant "I am a
bad boy" for two hours.

When the Pi Phi sisters, casual
ly, oh so casually, let it be known
that Robeit Taylor of scieen film
fame, hail a date with one of the

arrived at the
party and found
no Mr. Taylor
they remembered
r e a ding some
thing about a
prom called Hol

a certain actor

themselves with the thought that

not in flesh- or something like
that.
