Sham Battle Noise Annoys WPA Road Graders . Cornhusker Company Disrupts Park Project WPA workers were quietly putting finishing touches to a road grading project Saturday morning at Pioneer Park. Suddenly there was a clap of thunder and a burst of flames from the crest of the hill above them. A horde of men in blue uniforms rushed into the bushes on their right and began to fire rifles at the hill. "My God, it's the war!" shouted one worker, and the entire crew took cover. Were the men from Mars actually invading the world? WPA had to go on. The foreman made his will to a quaking col league, and dashed bravely up the hill straight into the cannon flash. Another shot was fired at him, and he was dead for sure. But he found himself still running and alive. At the top he found a U. S. Army major and a half dozen overalled University students en gaged In firing a small cannon at the soldiers in the brush. "This is the Cornhusker Company," ex plained the major." We were just putting on a little sham battle. We were firing blank ammunition." WPA Orders Army. "Well, you'll have to get out of here," the foreman declared sternly," we can't work with all this noise going on." Under his firm gaze, forty members of the Cornhusker Company, armed to the teeth, assembled and sheep ishly drove away. Once more peace and quiet set tled over the project, that condi tion which is so necessary to WPA workers. Whether the foreman will he named as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize had not yet been determined late yester day evening. Today We Vote Election day in Nebraska finds the two rival political parties thunipinf the campaign war drums until the official opening. of the pulls. The campaign has been comparatively quiet in Nebraska, due, no douht, to the fact that no national issues have been raised within the state. Hut the quietude of the campaign proper belies 1 he .significance of the off-year' election. First of. all, of the three proposed consti tutional amendments, the short ballot amend ment commands the most respect from the voters of the state, and particularly, those t'niversity studcnls who are eligible to east their ballots today. Short Ballot The short ballot is intended to eliminate "name" candidates from the ballots by mak ing the offices of stale treasurer, secretary of state and attorney general appointive under the governor rather than elective. Responsi bility for the three officials will be precisely fixed with the governor who appoints bis of ficials with legislative confirmation. Voters will be spared the exhausting election -day problem of wading through a long list oi names by the elimination of these three elective of fices. And voters will be enabled to exercise their franchise more sanely, by knowing 1he principles, policies and practices of the various candidates. The short ballot amendment is definitely a progressive piece of legislation. Opponents of the short ballot proposal have vehemently fought it 011 tbe pretext it sets up the pins lor a one-man government in Nebraska a po litical machine once "in," stays "in." By this, anti-short ballot, groups mean the governor's ""three executive appointees would be mere gubernatorial stooges. These rivals of pro gressive legislation overlook the fact that 1 lit governor must answer for the conduct of his appointees who are given the stamp of approval by the unicameral legislature. A recall amend ment is coupled with the short ballot amend ment to permit intelligent and alert voters to use their prerogative as citizens. Whatever bad features of the short ballot amendment's conse quences can be unearthed, 1hey certainly are overshadowed by Hie redeeming features of ihe proposal. Slot Machines ' Th vigilant state press and public leaders are to be congratulated for baring the stark facts in this nefarious scheme. The light of publicity has shown this amendment (allegedly to legalize slot machines in order to raise old age assistance funds) 1o be a mean deception of the many aged ami dependent persons who signed the amendment petitions. , Whether the state-wide denunciation of the slot machine -amendment has bet n effect he will be determined today. I'nivt i sity students, eligible to vote, should not ski over ihis amendment hi. one of minor importance. The Music Groups Plan Concerts forces behind the movement to legalize slot machines are counting upon studcnls in par ticular 1o "invest" their nickles, dimes and quarters and more commonly, their parents' nickles, dimes and quarters in the "one-armed bandits." The sponsors know that the major portion of the slot machine revenue is gleaned from young people which includes, to a great extent, college students. Exposes of the slot machine ruck el have clearly shown that the win percentage is so narrow that it insults the intelligence of those who "invest" their money in the gambling devices. Perhaps Ihe sponsors bank on the insulted intelligence of ihe cilizenry to make Die "one-armed bandits" legal machines. AYe dislike to call slot machines gambling devices gambling gives the "sucker" a more even break. Bank Liability Of more interest lo our parents than to us now is the proposed constitutional amend ment to repeal the slate constitution's double liability clause affecting stockholders in bank ing corporations or institutions. If repealed, the amendment would remove douMe liability from stale banks. This double liability was originally designed to protect de positors in state banks for, in case the bank tails, the bond would assure the saiety oi. their j deposits. Many bankers endorse ihis proposed j amendment. Governor of Nebraska The Daily Nebraskan, as the oi'ficial news paper of the University of Nebraska, must necessarily be non-partisan and cannot take sides in political questions. However, there are Issues which directly bear upon University stu dents, future citizens of the slate of Nebraska, that must be heeded by an undergraduate voter. A fclO monthly old-age pension has been openly favored by 1wo of the three guberna torial candidates'. As future taxpayers and citizens, this assistance program should lie carefully studied by University students who vote today, since the burden will eventually fall upon 'the shoulders of the younger share of the electorate. As University students,, it is well lo keep in mind that the last legislature failed by one 1 -li- ... jl...t ole lo pass a siaie nuinung appropriation mai would have netted the University of Nebraska some of the facilities it sorely lacks. "Pay-as-voii-go" eeoiiomv in siaie government may set very well with drouth-bitten farmers and tax payers' leagues, but administrative spending should never be curtailed so sharply as to iin pair one of government's first responsibilities: Kdticatioii. The Daily Nebraskan .joins the geWmt-the-ole movement in urging eligible University students to make use of the suffrage franchise. The voles cast by the undergraduates may be onlv a drop in the bucket, but the privilege of balloting should be sacredly regarded by the citizens-to-be, , Honorories Inaugurate Sunday Program Series Sigma Alpha Iota and Delta Omieron, honorary musical sorori ties, are presenting this year a Sunday atfernoon concert series, the first of which will be presented Nov. 13 in the Union ballroom.

Vespers Hear Miss Howell Speech Head to Tell Of World War Work Gui If ord Adopts New Type Of Psychological Analysis Factor Method Takes I Place of Questioning j A new scientific method - known i as the factor anayl.sis-has been; adopted by Dr. J. P. Guilford, pro-! fossor of psychology at the Uni versity of Nebraska, to iuiHlv7.e the primary traita ol personality. Funds necessary to complete the extensive study were provided hy the social science research council. Briefly, Dr. Guilford found that the old method of telling, for ex ample whether an individual was an introvert, "shy. day dreamer," or an extrovert, "the good mixer," is subject to considerable error, and that actually Introversion is definitely linked with the mree personality factors shyness, med Itativeness and depression. The in dividual with the opposite turn ot mind, he says, Is the extrovert. Faulty Analysis. Psychologists for many years Vlieved that It was possible to distinguish between Introversion and extroversion simply by noting the answers to the following ques tions: 1. Art you ordinarily a car free Individual?. 2. Do you usually have diffi culty In starting a conversation with a stranger? 5. Do you prefer to read about a thing rather than to expe rience It? 4. Do you hesitate to lend your personal property even to clots friends? B. Are you relatively uncon csrned about what others think f your actions? 6. Do you consider yourself a practical Individual rather than one who theorizes? 7. Do you usually keep In going close touch with things on around you? e. Are you Inclined to worry over possible misfortunes? 9. Do you often have the blues? 10. Ar you inclined to keep In the background on social oc casions? 11. Are you more Interested In athletics than In Intellectual things? 12. Would you rate yourself as an impulsive Individual? 13. Do you enjoy getting ac quainted with most people? 14. Do you frequently find yourself in a meditative state? 15. Are you Inclined to be over conscientious? 16. Do you often crave excite ment? 17. Are you Inclined to pon der over your past? 18. Are you inclined to stop and think things over before acting? 19. Are you less attentive than most Individuals to things going on around you? 20. Do you like to discuss the more serious questions of life with your friends? 21. Do you like to try your wits In solving puzzles? 22. Would you rate yourself as a happy-go-lucky individual? 23. Would you enjoy thinking out complicated problems? 24. Are you usually uncon cerned about the future? 26. Do you usually become so absorbed In watching an ath letic contest that you completely forget yourself? 27. Are you mors alert to Tassels Meet At 7 Tonight Tassels will meet this evening In room 316 of the Union at 7 o'clock. All members are re quested to be strictly on time as the meeting will take up promptly and roll taken at the beginning of the session. Miss H. Alice Howell, head ot Earnest Harrison tne ,u oartment of speech, will speak to the Vespers group today at 5 o'clock at Ellen Smith. She will speak to the group on her experiences as an entertainer and canteen worker during the World war.

She is coming tn the campus from Michigan with the Religious Life ! group and promises to be very interesting. Museum Puppets to Go to N. Y. your Immediate surroundings than the average person? If the individual answered "yes" to numbers 2, 3. 4, 8. fi, 10, 14. 15. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, and 24 he was automatically classified as an Introvert. If he answered "no" to questions 1. 5, 6. 7, 11. 12. 13, 16. 22, 25, 26, and 27 he was called an extrovert. But this is not always true. Dr. Guilford points out. His research shows that the person could answer the above questions In the traditionally correct way and still be neither extrovert or introvert. By the factor analysis method the university psycholo gist has definitely shown introver sion to be essentially reduced to shyness, depression and medita tiveness. New Method. After submitting these ques tions to a total of a thousand stu dents. Dr. Guilford has drawn the following conclusions. Shy Indi viduals are si mewhat prone to de pression ana depressed persons are Inclined to be shy or serlusive. The depressed person is Inclined to be a thinker or meditator and a thinker is more likely to be de pressed than elated again coin ciding with common sense. De pressed people are thwarted peo ple, and thwarted individuals re sort more to symbolic modes of reaction. "From this it should not be con cluded, however," he says, "that the shy person is always depressed or inclined to thought, or that the thinker is necessarily always shy Miss Shanafelt Offers Marionette Show The finesse attained by the mu seum puppet department has now been recognized by the most im portant group in the country. Miss Marjorie Shanafelt, curator of vis ual education, has been asked to exhibit a group of her puppets at the annual puppet exposition in New York Cilv Nov. 7 to 30.

Description of Ihe literary skills anil ideals of the novels of Ed ouard Rod, Swiss author who has adopted French intellectual ideas, will soon he published to make the most recent unit of the University Studies series. Dr. James R. Wadsworth, ro mance language department chair man, has written the analysis after considerable research on the sub ject. Says Dr. Wadsworth of Rod's writing, "An inherited tendency toward melancholy, a sad and lonely childhood, and his intro duction to the philosophy of Schol- penhauer, ennbled him to analyze j successfully the pessimism of his ' period and laid the foundation for i the document of despair wnicn constitutes one of the most eon stant factors in his work."
