Altho there are 43 umcnmera
' litea at the Nebraska state house
today, it is difficult to find even
one senator who is not too busy i
.' with closing activities for an in-,
, terview. It is
with luck, then
that we found
Senator Emil
Brodecky of
Howells. Altho
the legislature
will probably

"should be increased is the opinion
of Senator Brodecky. The Howells
"representative also believes that
the salary of the members will
have to be increased in order to
get the type of senator that is de
sired to represent the Nebraska
populace.
"I feel that the unicameral
legislature is a big success," the
district 16 representative says.
"We must however, have a
larger membership to relieve the
burden under which the present
members are laboring. A larger
number cf members would logi
cally give a more adequate rep
resentation and would more
evenly distribute the tasks of
bill introduction and correspondence."
Nebraska students are nearly unanimous In
their condemnation of sit-down strikes, judging:
from the results of 500 ballots cast in the Daily
Nebniskun's first attempt to sample campus opin
ion in u supervised election. Because the supply of
validated ballots ran out four times during voting,
and since none were available to voteVs on Ag
campus, the returns amount to only one-third of
the total votes cast. According to very hypothesis
of amateur George Gallups, the returns should still
reflect a fairly accurate cross-section of student
opinion.
1. Do you favor a university-sponsored convo
cation scries of great artists and speakers, sup
ported by the sale of season tickets? Yet 364.
No 110.
Powcrs-that-be, there are 364 orders for season
tickets. On the basis of scientific sampling, you
rW-VSfJf- have 4.40S future orders. We appreciate a con
servative approacn to any innovations, out no con
vocations series could fail with 4,4(58 attendants
from the campus alone.
2. Do you favor the continuation of federal
aid to student3 through such agencies as the
National Youth Administration? Yes 411. No
63.
It has long been a democratic principle this
subsidization of higher. education. Those 63 protests
would ho interesting if elaborated; would a few of
the objectors make a contribution to the student
pulse columns?
3. Do you believe that the university should
plan, for construction as soon as funds are avail
able, a single dormitory or system of men's dorm
itories? Yes 247. No 214.
This question was the joker of the outfit. In past
elections, fraternity voters have outnumbered barbs
on an average of three-to-one. The fraternity
system on the Nebraska campus represents
hundreds of thousands of dollars, of indebtedness
and otherwise, and no fraternity man ever know
ingly cut his own throat. In view of these facts,
the barbs and a large percentage of affiliated men
believe that the average boarding house is no
decent place to live.
The administration has long considered such a
project in their plans for future building. It is up
to barb students, in the next two years when the
state planning board will make its decisions, to
prove the need for men's dormitories. Since the

member of the committee on com-
mittees and the appropriation com- Dld someone suggest that Nebraska was a
mittee. stronghold of the military department?
Believing the new committee
system to be one of the most out
standing merits of the unicameral
set-up, the district 16 senator
points out that in 1935 he was a
member of five committees, the
chairman of one committee, and
had two clays in which he did not
have to attend committee hear
ings. He is now a member of only
two committees and hardly a day
passes that does not call him to a
committee meeting. Such an ox
ample explains clearly the merits
of the new committee system, the
senator believes.
Being a dairyman and farmer in
his district, which embodies Col
fax, Wayne and Stanton counties.
Senator Brodecky has been espe
cially interested in the cream grad
ing bill, which passed the body yes
terday, and the bindweed control
bill which was favored by the ma
jority of members some weeks ago.
But bills af an agriculture na
ture have not been the only
measures which have occupied
the attention of the Howells rep
resentative. Both legislative bill
No. 334, which lost in third read
ing by one vote, and the bill
which would have placed the
professors in the school of mu
sic on a salary basis that lost
yesterday afternoon by a vote of
21 to 17, were great disappoint
ments to the senator.
"Why should we not treat
the instructors In the university
school of music as justly as
those In the law or medical
schools? The bill would have
raised the standard of the musio
professors and would have been
a benefit to the entire university I
as it has in other states." I
Senator Brodecky is also the en-
sponsor of a bill that has been pre-
sented before every session of So.- j
braska legislatures for the past I
few years. Under the number of!
Legislative bill 112, the bill would
do away with the policy of forcing
teachers of the state to gie their'
religious affiliation with their np-
plications. It will probably appear i
for third reading tomorrow.
"Altho teachers have been
forced to present their affiliation j
for many years, the practice vio- I
lates the federal constitution,
create religious intolerance, and
brings embarrassment to those
applying for a position. The bill
treads along dangerous grounds
when it concerns itself with re
ligion, but it is absolutely neces
sary. Senator Brodecky attended the
University of Nebraska and grad
uated from the college of agricul
ture in 1907. He was a captain of
an R. O. T. C. company and was a
charter member of the first un'
versity orchestra. He has been an
active member of the Howells city
band for the past 35 years and
served for 12 years on his local
school board. His son, Emil, jr.,
graduated from the school of mu
sic in 1932 and is now tcarhinjT
school. Senator Brodecky is a
democrat and 51 years old.
Even a five-three majority is nothing to lose
sleep over. The majority could have been 6530 to 0
and Nebraska would continue to have compulsory
drill.
5. Do you favor sit-down strikes as a policy
of organized labor? Yes 51. No 443.
It would appear that 51 students heard that the
Boston tea party was also illegal.
Do you favor the rebel forces in the Spanish
revolution over the government armies? Yes 49.
No 331.
It's high time that Mr. Hearst sent a man down
again to expose this communist ring on the campus.
Such a majority, however, clearly shows that
youth still holds to democracy as the most perfect
form of political control, and resents the vulgar
oppression of fascist dictatorship.

More Pros Than
Cons on Pontine Show
Altho in a period of 35 minutes
19 people were found in the li
brary who had neither seen nor
heard "Nebraska's plug for Gen
eral Motors," there were quite a
few who had not only seen it, but
were ready, willing, and able to
give a satisfactory opinion of it.
The number who attended (vary-
ng from Selleck s 6,000 to Pon-
tiac's 10,000) have divers opinions
as to the relative merit of the program.
W hat is your opinion of the
Pontiac Broadcast? Do you think
that the university should take
advantage of every such oppor
tunity to publicize itself?
Virginia Lea, Teachers college
sophomore:
"The program was very good.
To tell the truth. I didn't think
that Nebraska had the talent. The
trumpet trio was really outstanding.
The university should broadcast
whenever it has the chance. Any
such arrangement, whereby Ne
braska may become better known
as a school, is an excellent one."
Eugene Atkins, Engineering col
lege sophomore:
"The whole thing went off very
well. Good direction had antici
pated all the things that could
possibly have gone wrong and all
recautions were taken to prevent
their occurrence. The trumpet trio
.as by far the best number on the
program. I m not an expert on
such trios, but I've heard a lot
who thought that they could play;
those trumpeters really did an ex
cellent job.
As to the university advertis
ng, that's not so good. There is
no reason for such advertising
for students, when we have too
many now. With buildings al-

ready overcrowded, it seems
foolish to ask more students to
come here. The erection of some
new buildings on the campus
would be a far better ad for the
university and a much bigger
drawing card than such pro
grams. The way things are now,
where do we put any more stu
dents If we get them?"
Ralph Erury, Pre-Law sophomore:
"I don't think it was so good. It
lacked snap, there was not enough
comedy. I've noticed the same
thing, about all the broadcasts in
the series they all seem to be
lacking in something. But, as far
as it went, it was worth the ef
fort, it did advertise the univer
sity. The best thing on the pro
gram was the symphony orches
tra. Things like that are good pub
licity for the university. If this
school is to continue (to grow, we
must let people know more about
it."
Jack Barry, Bizad junior:
"It made Nebraska sound like
an Indian fighting, fossil-digging,
pioneer state. It seems to
me that all the talk of fossils
and things would discourage any
easterners who, by some chance,
might be thinking of coming out
here to school.
A lot of good entertainment,
such as individual singing, was
passed up by the committee. The
group singing of Chenoweth's,
"Hail Varsity" was the ranking
number on the program."
"I guess the publicity can't do
the school any harm."
Helen Marcy, Teachers college
senior:
"The program was very good
at least it equalled all those that
preceded it. The fraternity and
sorority sings were the best num
bers on the program. From the
comments that I heard the vocal
solo wasn't quite up to what it
should have been on such a pro
gram. Such broadcasts will give out
siders a look into the talent and
life .here at the university. We
would certainly have a lot to show
for it if we would continue to
publicize this institution."
To the Editor:
And the physical education department of the
University of Nebraska:
In the opinions of many students the aim of
the physical department of the university Is to
strike down yon guard and maintain the old fash
ioned idea of requiring two years of education for
all women students. Does this department have
enough reasons to Justify devoting so much time
to physical education when these two years could
be devoted to more practical and worthwhile
subjects? Let a department of this sort be main
tained for those who desire to major in physical
education, but why confpel all the others to waste
their time on this subject which will be of no use
to them in the future?
Why does the physical education department
think itself superior to the other departments when
It comes to making up work missed? Is it justi
fiable to require that work missed be made up
double, does it take twice as long to develop brawn
as brain? Why not give this some consideration.
Another weakness of this department Is their
ability for keeping of attendance records. Many
students have received Incompletes in this course
due to the inaccuracy of records kept, and con
sequently; they are called upon the carpet to ex
plain to the dean of women the reason for their
incomplete. It Is difficult for the student to prove
that she was present in class when the records
of the department are wrong and show an ab
sence; unless, the individual keeps a written daily
record. Unless some measures can be taken to
redeem the fallacies of this department, the stu
dent should have a right to choose whether or
not she takes this subject rather than having it a
required course. If this required subject is to be
continued there are surely several improvements
which would be made. The question is is this
subject to be or not to be required.

"There are two broad avenues to follow the
avenue of escape and the avenue of fulfillment. The
man who follows the avenue of escape does not
come to terms with life at all. He either loses
himself in activities feverish but unsubstantial, or
falls into lethargy. Those choosing this path are
not real adults." Cocooned adults take a spurring
from Pres. Harry M. Wriston of Brown university.
"College students produce two kinds of litera
ture, neither of them good. Either they try re
vealing their own hearts, which are not very full
yet, and which they are generally unable to inter
pret, or they decide to imitate some well known
author in describing artificial situations which they
know even less well than themselves." Vassar col
lege's Pres. Henry N. MacCracken short circuits
the literary lights.
"Their minds are soft and dormant. They do
not know how to work; they do not know how to
study; they do not know how to reason; they do
not know how to discriminate between the central
core of things and the surrounding trimmings."

sity, gives incoming freshmen a frank look at the
scoreboard.

of 710 and 022 respectively.
The arts and .science poll saw a
bitter contest among both the men
and women, as Bob Simmons, Paul
Wagner. Barbara Selleck, Barbara
Rosewater, and Janet Caldwell
won the right to sit with next
year's council. Morris Lipp and
Eva Jane Sinclair both barely

each fell short by two votes.

man running under the colors of
the liberal party, won over Robert

right to sit with the council es he

Worcester, another barb, running
with the support of the liberal
faction beat out George Sceman In

tion. Arnold Levin, president of the
student council, who officiated
over the election, said that he be
lieved it to be one of the cleanest
in years. Protests which have been
made were aimed against the cir
culation of printed matter previous
to the election. The matter will gfl
before the judiciary committee
sometime either today or tomor
row. Newly elected members will
meet with the old council at five
this afternoon to elect officers for
the ensuing year.
By one of the largest votes in
the history of barb council elec
tions, seven students were named
to posts on the barb council
yesterday. They are Elizabeth
Edison and Doris Riisness, seniors;
Denver Gray, Dean Worcester and
Marion Staley, Juniors; and Helen
Severa and Robert Wilson, sopho
mores. The balloting was held In con
junction with the Student Council
election. Voting was as heavy
at ag as on the city campus.
The Barb Council, organized
about seven years ago, has as its
chief function the sponsoring of
all-university parties. When the
Student Union building is com
pleted, the council will have some
work in connection with its ad
ministration. Holdover members from last year
are Byrl Shuck, president, Aus

which, at least nominally, were
political organizations supposed to
have considerable political In
fluence. Herb Yenne, member of the
speech department, recalls an all
school rally held on the old athletic
field betvieen the present stadium
and the engineering building. Bon
fires and speeches by all candi
dates served to fire students with
political enthusiasm, although no
political factions were present and
students voted for the man, not
the faction.

"The Slippery Eleven," the Yel

Green Togas are among the terms
recalled by Prof. E. W. Lantz,
terms which are meaningless to
Btudents now, but of tremendous
significance to the student of the
years following the war, when
voters began to align themselves
with a particular faction, and
party lines became so distinctly
drawn.
But no political rally is recalled
so vividly by those questioned as
the one held around the years 1913
1914 when campaign enthusiasts,
after Invading downtown stores
and theaters, made a raid upon a
carnival being held on Noith 12th
and encountered decided resistance

CORONATION of George VI and
his Queen Elizabeth took place this
morning at 5 o'clock in Westmin
ister Abbey. Between 3 and 4
a. m. the king and queen left
Buckingham palace for the Abbey.
What is undoubtedly the world's
most colorful formality began at
4 this morning and lasted until 6.
The newly crowned returned to the
palace as part of an elaborate two
mile procession.
OVER SIX HOURS TIME on the
three big American radio networks
is being devoted to the ceremony in
an effort to achieve the last thing
in modern air-lane coverage. Up
wards of 150 microphones have
been strategically planted along
the coronation route. Illustrative
of the nets' efforts to do the Job
right Is the fact that they will use
472 miles of wire, 12 tons of equip
ment and 5 control rooms operated
by 60 engineers.
THE CORONATION OATH
was heard around the world at
approximately 5 a. m. The ap
pearance of the king and queen
on the palace balcony at 8:15
climaxes the morning broad
casts. The program entitled "The
Empire's Homage" featuring
Prime Minister Baldwin, the
Viceroy of India, prime minia
te re of all the dominions, and
official representatives of Brit
ain's colonies goes on the air
at 12:15 p. m. The king's first
speech is at 1 p. m. And Poet
Laureate John Masefield reads
his poem "A Prayer to the
King's Reign" at 4:45 p. m.

enterprise inestimably more com
mercialized than Christmas, strife
broke out yesterday between the
