comedy appeared to he the Players' forte and
they made the most of its humorous possihil

perfect. The Players need some more hrushiny
up before they have the scores of comedy bits
down pat. We didn't expect; the first-nipht

of other students who will enjoy it and who
will join the Daily Xehrnskan in tossing an

to a letter of arguments urging that such n
contest be arranged by college and high school
officials.
It can't he done. University eligibility

Post-season contests can be dangerous too.
especially to the younger men who comprise
the high school squad and who arc not phys

card.
With all due respects to Lincoln high top
contender for ihe mythical state championship
we would hate to see such a game played
because the freshmen would probably knock
the sox off the Lincolnites. The yearlings are
older, heavier, more experienced and better
versed in the gridiorn pastime than 1he high

Lincoln hiirh' grid prowess will have to

Beauty Queens
To the Editor;
We have been hearing so much
lately abou. campus organization,
barb disadvantages. Greek politics
and the like, that I, barb '08, am
prompted to write this. It is but j
a sidelight glance on a situation
or two; an expression of a ques
tion mark which rests in my
mind. j
In yesterday V Rag was an ad j
of the Cornhusker's concerning the
sale of that great book and I
say great because I realize the
work connected with it and the
advantages it gives both during
and after college life. But to the j listening mid talking to leaders
point. This ad suggested that barb and authorities in the field -jour-groups
or houses unite in groups j nalists such as M. R. Knickerbock
er 20 to buy their Cornhuskcs, er, Raymond Clapper, Oscar Loid
then these groups will therefoie ' ing. rahie editor of t tie A. P., Doug

"There were two excellent bene
fits derived from the national Sig
ma Delia Chi convention in Madi
son, Wis., the past weekend."
wrote Bruce Campbell, Nebraska
delegate to the journalism conven
tion as he sat down before a type
writer to interview himself on the
matter.
"First, there was the tremen
dous benefit to he derived from
overpower Greek beauties. But
these girls ar,e not able, by them-'
selves, to run for their page in
the yearbook. With our vast num
bers to pay the $4.50, and our
material in these girls, why do
we sit by and allow a potentially
cinched page to pass on to some
not so lovely young lady, just be
cause we've bought our books as
others. Tt was an education in it
self to hear ex-Governor Phil La
Follete expound his governmental
and economic views. Second, here
was the benefit, as well as pleas
ure, derived from contacting fu
ture journalists from all over the
nation: New York, California.

ties could, if they only thought
about it, sponsor their choice for
beauty-, then we certainly have the , ter ego
earmarks of a great possibility.
And, as the already mentioned
ad stated, buy your books from
the Tassels. It probably isn't
known to most people the effort
they put forth to keep the red
and white in evidence, and to pro
mote the true Cornhusker spirit.
e barbs too are represented in
this organization. We help our
selves hy helping them. So when
they approach you today, for both
your enjoyment and their happi
ness, why not say, "Yes, I cer
tainly do need and want a Corn
husker." So let's get this whole thing
organized and forge ahead for
beauty as a small part of our get
ahead program. Only 20 subscrip
tions bought together will do it!
Get out and elect beauty that will
stifle the judges!

"How about Wisconsin weath

"Very pleasant during the con
vention," replied the erstwhile
delegate. "My room, shared with
Washington and Oregon, had a
southern exposure on two sides."
"How's that" questioned alter

coming.

Mrs. Grace Overton
Emphasizes Importance
Of Awareness in Life
We must have awareness of
self awareness that we shape our
own individual lives, said Mrs,
Grace Sloan Overton, speaking on
the subject "The Thrill of Aware
ness" at the Y.W.C.A. vespers yes
terday afternoon, in Ellen Smith.
"There is danger, however, of
becoming oblivious to others of
seel:ig only our own desires," she
continued.
Mrs. Overton mentioned three
othe types of awareness: aware
ness of situations, and not allow'
ing them to control us; awareness
or the causer of world situations
and an awareness of the universe
and God.
Mary Ellen Osborn introduced
the speaker and gave devotions,

I "But seriously now," continued
alter ego. assuming that the inter
, viewce had made a joke, "can oU
j think of something else which
some of the speakers at the Sigma
' Delta Chi convention said which
would be well to pass on to the
! rending public ?"
"Yes, indeed,'' replied the con
vention goer. "George Pierrot,
former managing editor of the
American Boy. newspaperman,
writer, traveler and now director
of World Adventures, inc., made a
' talk embodying a philosophy that
i everyone would do well to at least
consider. He said, in effect, and I
want you to get this straight"
said the 1938 convention delegate
menacingly, "he said that the mere
privilege of living was not enough,
that a true, full life should have
plenty of experiences and be ex
citing. He made it clear that he
did not advocate hedonism and
that usefulness to society should
be the journalist's and the writer
traveler's first consideration but
that the years of life were all too
few to be wasted in dullness, rou
tine, and physical and mental stag
nation when it is within the power
of the individual to utilize his life
for the benefit of others and to
the satisfaction of himself."
"Vhat did the others have to
say? What benefits did you de
rive from forums?" queried alter
ego.
"The speeches, actions, thoughts
and ideals brought out in the con
vention cannot be summarized
briefly," said the delegate. "They
were all eventful and stimulating.
To apocopate, to abridge would be
unjust. So if you're interested in
a better summarization of the con
vention why don't you attend the
journalism smoker when it is
given?" concluded the delegate
from Nebraska.
Well, why don't you?
sibility of the task is seen when
wc consider there are 32,000 voca
tions of various kinds now known
to humanity. Pres. Nicholas Mur
, ray Butler well expressed the sitU'
; ation when he said:
j " 'The bario for any true voca
I tional preparation is training to
know a few things well and
I thoroly, and in gaining audi
! knowledge to form those habits of
' mind that will fit the individual
' to meet new duties and unforeseen
emergencies.
The other trends which Dean
Lawson designated as unwise were
the tendency to permit the pupil
to take only those school subjects
that were easy for him, and a
tendency to neglect fundamental
schooling for subjects sometimes
called "frills."
"The modern child should have
his share of graphic and applied
arts in his schooling, but every
child, should learn to read and
write and spell correctly and to
do ordinary simple problems in

will shortly have to ask the at

the charge is, he said.
Urging that pupils be not ex
cused fr. school subjects be
cause they are "too hard," Dean
Lawson said:
"It doesn't build morale or
strengthen determination, or gen
erate cheer and hope in old or
young to be told they are incap
able of doing what untold multi
tudes of others have done.
"And yet difficult and success
ful accomplishments in our lives
art the chief source of our deepest
and most permanent satisfaction. I
am convinced that too often this
philosophy of making an educa
tion easy and happy has robbed
our children of that much greater
happiness the joy of a hard job
well done."

Brutal Intolerance
Not In years has there been audi
unanimity of opinion tn a radio
broadcast as the one heard Mon

treatment of the Jew by the nazi

It embraced former President
Hoover, former Gov. Alfred M.
Landon of Kansas, the republican
candidate for the presidency in

old Ickea. in unmeasured words
these men protested against the
tragic developments of recent
days. The net result in a practical
sense will not affect Hitler and his
associates but it does revive ar
extraordinary note. After years of
extreme nationalism, the millions
who heard these men talk were
made conscious that isolation was
impossible In the world today, and
that which affects any nation oi
any people affects all nations and
all peoples.
The greatest threat of these
times is the intolerant spirit that
has developed in nations. It gives
form to cruelty and to barbarism
and to international anarchy. Not
even the partition of Czechoslova

Jew has precipitateJ. Lincoln
