A., was very much perturbed about the rugged article that appeared in the paper about him Sunday. We can't blame him, and it was written with an entirely different Idea in Cornhusker Staff Plans 'Salute to Nebraska' Editor Lahr to Include ' Student Social Survey What are the living conditions of Nebraska students? How many students work and what are they paid? How many cokes do stu dents consume? These questions and many others concerned with the who, what, why, when and where of campus life will Je an wcred by the 1939 Cornhusker. Branching out a good deal from the yearbook's self-imposed duties of the past, Pat Lahr, editor, is attempting to incorporate a "so cial survey" of student activities in a new sub-section of the book entitled "Student Cavalcade." The main section, of which the survey is a part, is a "Salute to Nebraska" and includes a history of the university and a section de voted to Nebraska's Unicameral Legislature which meets in Janu ary. The latter feature brings to mind a similar attempt to play up state legislators on the part of the Cornhusker Issued L 1937, also a legislative year. Miss Lahr's aim in preparing the social survey is to collect facts about students and the university so obvious that most collegians hardly notice them, together with factors more or less unknown. The data will be correlated and shaped to give a bird's eye view or "cross section" of a great university and its population. Patterned After Life. The section will be patterned after the photographic essays of Life magazine. However, the year book will have more copy in pro portion to pictures because of pace limitations. The style of "Student Cavalcade" also includes some of the elements of Vogue. Co-eds will probably be more familiar with this magazine than the men. Larger pictures will be "bleed offs" while smaller cuts will be placed carefully belter skelter. Here, as thruout the whole book, will be a color combination of green and copper. Opening the aection are several pages covering living conditions in rooming houses and fraternities, a contrast of Barb with Greek, reg istration statistics and student Jobholders. But no student's time is taken up with "all work and no play" so campus diversions come in for their share of attention under the quoted title. The Cornhusker will attack this problem, as well as others of more weight, in a scien tific manner with an analysis of time spent for amusement and pleasure which should prove most Interesting. To Debunk Education. The "education problem," a very knotty one Indeed, does not mean educational theories to Cornhusker editors but will Include such mat ter m apple polishing, amount of time students study, popular pro fessors, popular classes and popu lar colleges. dosing ine survey will be a page devoted to "Campus Opin ions." Hera, the Cornhusker will endeavor to Ball down that much abused phantom, rVk?ent opinion, which has its counterpart in per haps the even mora abused public opinion. What do students, as a whole, think about administration policies, about Germany's future, about themselves, about their school? The year book will try to answer such questions. In "Student Cavalcade," Miss Lahr and her staff are tackling a mind, so apologies to him, and cac tus plants to the bird who framed the material so cleverly??? Jim Armstrong, Beta, Is using up his line and we suggest he'd better develop another, as every one is on to his old one. Now the femmes are calling him "I'll Call You Tomorrow" Armstrong.

For those of you who don't be little yourselves enough to read Smokey Stover, we'd like to com ment on a little picture hanging on the wall. It was a picture of the homeliest girl on the market, and besides it were the words, "The Sweetheart of Sigma Foo." Helen Pasco, Chi O, lost her Mortar Board pin at Herbie Kay Saturday evening, and hopes to find the remains one of these days. And speaking of Herbie, who is as everyone knows a S. A.

Len Jacob son, Frank Roth, Jim DeWoife, Bill Buchanan enjoyed her so much that they took her back to the hotel and stayed for a while to visit Rita Alger, arrow glamour girl, sent a verbal invitation to the Pi Phi house party to Joe Stephens by one of the D.

If it is car ried thru as planned, this section should be valuable in opening the eyes of students to the organiza tion of their particular sector of society.

Fascist Talk Fills South America, Reports Grad Venezuela Unimpressed By Most of Propaganda Germany and Italy are constant ly bombarding South America with nazi and fascist propaganda according to Frank W. Johnson, graduate of 1934. who Is now aso elated with the Standard Oil com pany In Venezuela. Mr. Johnson arrived In Lincoln Friday on a va cation and will be here until Dec. 15. Johnson, who majored In Ge ology while attending the Univer sity, is chief field geologist for the Lago Petroleum company, a sub sidiary of the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey. Commenting on the economic exploitation of South America by way of the radio Mr. Johnson states, "The propaganda has ax adverse effect In Venezuela and Is the subject of daily attacks by newspapers, citizens, and the na tional government. The people) of Venezuela are satisfied with the present democratic government and have no Intention of changing their alleglence to a European gov ernment" Johnson also stated tiat news broadcasts from Germany and Italy were "colored" In favor of their national governments "Broadcasts from the United States," he stated, "are more en eral and are held In higher regard by the citizena of Venezuela." Mr, Johnson heard the entire Minne Oury Predicts Superior Ball Committees Begin Work On Biggest Social Event The 30th annual Military Ball will be more colorful and enter taining than any previous, said Colonel Oury, adding that the ar tillery unit will play a major part in the presentation of the Hohory Colonel. All committees have begun work on the preparations for the big social event of Dec. 2. The orches tra committee has considered sev eral big name bands. However, ac cording to the commandant, the committee will abide strictly by the university regulation which limits expenditures for music to $400 unless special permission is obtained. While the annual presentation plan contest is being abandoned this year, all good suggestions for the ball which are used will be paid for. and students are Invited to submit ideas to the military de partment or the special commit tees. ihsL(BookL Perhaps the most Interesting studies of the last few years can be made in regard to the dictator ships, and their relationships with the democracies. War crisis, re armament, tyranny, conquest, in fact everything that is exciting and emotional, everything which appeals to passion and patriotism can be found embedded in ihe philosophies of the dictatorships. When Anschluss with Austria was completed this year, the en tire Jewish collection of books in the Vienna library, some worth) thousands of dollars, were rele gated to the fire. Manuscripts, dating back five centuries which ran contrary to the fascistic the ory, or written by anyone sus pected of having Jewish blood were not spared this unjustifiable condemnation. Included among the works which were destroyed were some of the original manuscripts of Germany's most famous mu sicians. Literary refugees. The United States is filled with these courageous refugees who have refused to give up their cul tural heritage for a "mess of pottage." Included in the group which dared to defy Herr Hitler are Germany's best known auth ors, Lion Feuchtwanger, author of "Josephus" and "Success"; Thomas Mann, known for the "Magic Mountain"; Heinrich Mann, Arn old and Stefan Zweig, Erich Re marque, and Bruno Frank. Their works are being published in America by Alliance Publishers, vi i are publishing exclusively the Works of German and Austrian exiles. The European situation is 5tili attracting considerable attention, and authors anticipating another crisis, perhaps of even more se vere type, are refilling their pens, dusting out their mills and looking toward Europe for their fortune. While ordinary Americans abroad are attempting to get back home as fast as they can, free lance writers and roving authors art rushing towards the nearest boat dock to go to Europe.

According to Mr. Johnson, the standard of living in Venezuela is very low in comparison to the United Stales, and the people are divided into two classes, high and low, aa there is no middle class such aa exists In most countries. In the opinion of Mr. Johnson, the president of Venezuela, Lopez Conteresros, is interested in the welfsre of the people and will prove an exceptional president. Conteresros was formerly a gen eral In the army of Gomez, dictator of Venezuela who died In 1935. Before going to Venezuela, Johnson served aa an assistant In the university geology department. He was then appointed to a posi tion with the American Museum of Natural History in New York City where he worked for eight months.

Set up in response to a grow ing belief that the former set-up of men's activities, with no limita tions on the number of organiza tions to which an individual could belong, caused harm to both the student and the organizations, the system was not proposed as a means of rewarding students. At the time of its inception, it was hoped that it might be used in the future as a basis for. determining the candidates for activities hon oraries. One unusual point in the system the scholastic consideration.
