KOSMET CAST TO GIVE SHOW TODAY IN GRAND ISLAND 1912 Queen Rode in Jinrikisha $ :': :,! First University May Fete Colorful When Nebraska's May queen for 1936 makes her appearance this year before the usual admir ing crowd of onlookers, it will probably bring to the minds of the university's older alumni, thoughts of that day twenty-four years ago when the first crown ing took place, and the queen rode in state to her green throne in a jinrikisha, which had been given the late William Jennings Bryan in Japan, and which he had loaned for the occasion. Louise Barr Queen. The first queen. Miss Louise Barr, now Mrs. Lewit R. Ander son of Lincoln, ascended her throne in 1912 and watched a much different affair than the scenes which the twenty-fifth May queen will view on next Thursday, May 7. It evidently was a colorful event, according to those who were present, and many loud col ors were displayed in contrast to the pastel shades that the attend ants and the queens have been wearing during the past few ycarsv Student Union Approved The Student AdiviticN Building project luis received Ihc approval of l ho !'.

HENRY II . FOSTER, Dean, College of Law. West Cheerful, Confident of Business Recovery, Says Dean LeRossignol Returns From Journey Thru Eastern States, Canada. The East is not as cheerful and confident of busines recovery as is the west, especially with the house of representatives passing the ad ministration's new tax bill, is the observation of Dean J. E. LeRos slguol, who Wednesday returned from an eastern trip, "The east," the Bifad dean said, "is pretty much against the Roose velt administration." Spending three days in Canada, LeRossignol said Canadians gener ally were skeptical of the new deal and its philosophy. He said Ca nadians are vitally interested In the United States, as the condition of their business is closely corre lated with that of the United States.

By Barbara Rosewater. Here at last is a dancing teacher who sees eye to eye with the Puritans! "The chief fault of modern dancing in America," says young Fernando . Valentino, professor extraordinary of the tango, the rhumba, the bolero, the castanet ,and the bull-fight dance, "is that couples dance too close together. .For perfect balance and ease, there should be a good three inches between the bodies of the young man and his feminine partner, and this three inches should be kept throughout the entire dance." Mr. Valentino has been hold ing classes in the individual room of the Armory for the past few days from five to six oclock. Friday afternoon. May 1. will see his'last class at this university, for Monday he will be on his way to Chicago where he will dance at night clubs and theaters. Students of dancing and Spanish are his chief punils here; this is the first university class he has ever held, although hi has had classes of every other kind. Born in Vio, Spain, the son of a Spanish officer and a famous dancer, Valentino was trained to be an o.'ficcr. like his father, but at the age of 17 he decided he did not care for the army and Irccome a profes sional dancer, like h!a mother.

In her hand she car ried a staff, topped with a great sheaf of red and white roses, to carry out the crimson color note and that of the university colors. She was followed by the junior girls, who carried the daisy chain for that first crowning on May 22, twenty-four years ago. Ivy Day Starts 1ff38. It is interesting to note, how ever, that Ivy Day is far older than the exercises surrounding the crowning of the first queen as 't has existed in a more or less elab orate form since 1898, when only the seniors were excused from classes to take part in the cere monies.

Former Big Shot Approves Factions BY ED MURRAY. Altho candidates for the Nebras ka Unicameral legislature will bo elected in the fall on a non-partisan basis and campus politics are the supposed breeding ground for fu ture politicians, Dr. David Fell man, instructor in the political science department does not be lieve that factions should be abol ished in student elections. Dr. Fellman, who wrote the clause providing for the repre sentation of the various colleges in the present student council back in his undergraduate days, claim ed that he had lost contact with the intricately stringed campus political set-up. and then proceed ed to drop several hints as to the worth of campus political activity from the standpoint of the fac ulty. .' "CAmpus politics are pretty much of a lark," he smiled in dulgently, "and non-partisan elec tions would rob this student diver sion of much of its rest and fun."

Exchange cartoons drawn by comic artists from other college humor publications will ap pear in the issue. The Awgwan presents to read ers its candidate for the United States senate, a Mr. Christian Goldfarb. With several cartoons and the article, "Goldfarb Wins Primaries With Awgwan Sup port," the publication opens a cam pus campaign for the "Gol Durn dest Fightenest Candidate Since Jackson." Presented is Goldfarb's platform, founded with an eye to campus problems and pertinent to Nebraska affairs. Gives Account of Opera. In his "Notes from the Opera," Mr. Murray as a reporter gives an account of the manner in which a middle western city, Lincoln, "the city of overalls," received the progi am of the Chicago Civic Op era Company. Levin in his article writes of the day of reckoning for a sports writer and provides the setting for a tragedy in one act. It is the story of the newspaperman who receives his due for his ability to predict incorrectly the outcome of the na tion's major sport events. Campus Research Appears. Campus Tempo, the Awgwan editorial page, appears with its humorous comments on events of the day. Again shown are some "more of those letters that never came." "May Medley," the society col umn written by Eleanor Clizbe, society editor, discusses the proper wear for the season. Completing the issue are a lengthy Gore col umn and Bill Hollister's campus research which reviews resistance techniques. Contributors to the issua are Howard Dobson, William Clayton, Frances Meier, Robert Kasal, Jane Walcott, Louise Magee, Edmund Steeves, Lynn Leonard, Henry Remington, and Pat Jensen.

Altho making no mention of the recently initiated party on the campus, the Greek council, nor of the coming election on May 12, matured student politician Fell man upheld the value of organiza tion, down to the last man, in any kind of politics. Definite factions further serve the purpose of isolat ing several more or less accept able candidates from a large cam pus populace, he added and went on to suggest that without par ties a student ballot might include many wholly unlikely office-seekers. "I do not believe that it is possi ble to avoid the ifluence of fac tions in an election, merely by passing legislation calling for non partisanship." Fellman declared. "The pol'ttcal parties are still in fluential in Minnesota whe.e non partisanship elections are sup posedly in vogue." iContinucd on Page 4). AWGWAN EDITOR HON MONDAY Schultemen Compete With K.
