Pedaling the university polls to bo the surest prediction of the country's support of his candidate for the Presidency, the bombastic, little Senator Black, (christened Hugo La Fayette) chewed his un lighted cigar in a Lincoln hotel room last night. With his thin dark hair combed flat and his eyfts twinkling with delight, the twice elected senator from Alabama repented his state ment that since university Ktu- dents are supposedly thinking peo ple, their decision is one that' should merit attention.

Most political opinions, like Un cle Ezra's oil portrait, are inheri ted from the family's preceding generations. Until the World war, the fact that grandpa shook hands with Grovcr Cleveland was a suf ficient excuse for being a demo crat. The change in form of Euro pean governments, the discarding of republican governments all over the world, and the delicacy of in ternational balance has made an intelligent approach to our own political problems a necessity. As a result, the November elec tion will bo unique. No longer is the electorate voting for individual men, but they will cast their bal lot for two different concepts of government, two widely divergent philosophies, that of the traditional American plan versus the New Dcalism. Notwithstanding the fanfare of presidential publicity and the frantic beating of chests by prominent administration offi cials in an effort to divert the pub lic's attention to foreign affairs, the real conflict is in the treatment of domestic problems caused by the unfavorable world situation.

The Young Democratic club sincerely appreciates their aid and support. We also want to congratulate the Young Republicans on their organization. Competition is ben eficial in politics, the same as in business. We can hardly wish you success. However, it is our hope that you will argue tho issues of this campaign in a fair and logical manner. Let there be no mud slinging well, anyway not much. We will keep to the record and let the facts speak for themselves. The purpose of the University club and other Young Democratic organizations throughout the United States arc threefold: First: We stand for and would promote honesty and ef ficiency in government (local, state and national). Second: We adovcate the adoption of the Democratic prin ciples of government and a lib eral philosophy of government by the American people. (Continued on Page 4).

To back up this assertion, pic tures were taken in Atlanta, Ga., of a momentous meeting of repre-. sntatives of 13 colonies of the Southep stern conference who re cently adopted a new ruling recog nizing athletic ability as a determ ining factor in the allotment of student loans, jobs and scholar ships. With open. subsidizing of players invading the game, it is believed that trickery and deceit are on the way out, and the March of Time declares that this year touchdowns are as valuable to individual play ers as they are to the college it self, officers and committees and the reading of chapter records.

Young Democrats of the univer sity laid their plans for their par ticipation in the fall campaign in a meeting in social science hall Monday afternoon.

Martha McLendon, is a prominent attorney of Missouri. They will address the young Dem ocrats at Nebraska VVeslcyan to day. Suggestions were made for a dance but no steps were taken. A debating team may be organized to meet the young Republicans of the campus in an oratorical bat tle.

Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Social Science Auditorium. Students of the Engineering Col lege will view the new educational pictures produced by the Chevrolet Motor company, Wednesday eve ning, Oct. 7, at 7:30 o'clock in the Social Sciences auditorium. These will be sound pictures covering the following topics: "Water Boy." This picture shows the basic fundamentals of cooling the automobile engine. A modern cooling system is de signed and shown in operation. "Stop That Car." This picture shows principle of braking. It shows how heat is changed into motion, how motion creates fric tion and how friction creates heat, which is the principle of braking. It has a very interest ing and dramatic climax. "Turnabout Man." There is a saying that a gentleman usually is not a gentleman when he is behind the wheel of his ear. The "Turnabout Man" behaves just the opposite, however. His driv ing behavior changes place with his ordinary social behavior. This picture holds the mirror up to many of us and shows us the importance of courtesy in safe driving. "Silence." All the thrill of an . intercollegiate track meet multi plied by the thrills and hazards of the motor speedway! Dare devil drivers compete in sprints and dashes, high hurdles, relay races, and even the shot put using motor cars instead of muscles to set new records for nerve and stamina. These pictures are being shown under the auspices of the student branches of the various divisions of engineering. Anyone interested in viewing them is cordially in vited to attend. Members of labor unions are no more communistic than the aver age American, declared Mr. Britt Pryor, president of the Nebraska State Federation of Labor, in a speech explaining the uses and functions of unions to young peo ple of the Vine Congregational church Sunday night. Mr. Pryor asserted that he had been called a communist as had nearly every other head of labor groups, but explained that "Wc are not. as bad as the Hearst pap ers picture us." He stated that most labor unions are directly affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, sending delegates to the meeting of the Federation where the ac tions and policies of the organiza tion are extablishcd. Lobbying Favored. "You bet your life I'm in favor of lobbying," exclaimed Pryor, and pointed out that lobbying is the only method the unionists have t)f getting their legislation en acted into law. He expressed the belief that lack of interest by all groups of men and women, and especially the churches, is mainly responsi ble for the unemployment situa tion. "The ordinary man and woman didn't take an active part in poli cies, letting politicians elect poli ticians," he said and offered as a solution for unemployment the pol icy of adopting a 30 hour working week, thus providing jobs for more people. 1937 1 QUEEN Corn Cobs. Tassels- Initialo Yearbook Drive. Under Baker's Direction. Anticipating the most intensivo Cornhusker .subscription sale in History, Corn Cobs and Tassels launched a drive yesterday morn ing which is expected to far sur pass last year's initial campaign record of 1,425 hooks, Sid Baker, busiiics manager of the annual, announced the oneiiimr of the sales ilrive yesterday which will continue in full force until Oc tober 16. He stated that this year's campaign is expected to cover tho campus more fully than any of the past. "For the first time In several years, students who really know the Beauty Queen candidates will have an opportunity in partaking in their selection," Baker stated. "We feel that this will prove to be a much more satisfactory sys tem than sending the pictures to some disinterested movie star or director in Hollywood." According to the proposed plan, any student buying a Cornhusker is eligible for candidacy as a Ne braska Beauty Queen. Each so rority and barb group is allowed to nominate one girl for every twenty books which they sell. Students Elect Queens. The new features of the plan provide for both a primary and a general or final election of the queens by the student body. Baker stated that it is the hope of the staff to hold tho primary election in conjunction with the selection of Nebraska's Sweetheart and Honorary Colonel, the date to bo set by the Student Council in the near future. In the primary elec tion each student who has pur chased a Cornhusker will be al lowed to cast six votes, three for the three girls ranking first in his estimation, two for those ranking second, and one for third.
