But perhaps such vexation is just the stimulation of which the Student Council is sadly in need. Perhaps such vexation will aid the Student Council in vaulting one of their seemingly inherent obstacles to achievement procrastination. Perhaps the Student Council will now actively consider the establishment of a college nitrht club, similar to those that have met with such cneouragiiiEr success in nearby mid western universities. For over three months Union Director Van Sant has been prepared to arrange and open tho doors of an entertainment spot utterly new and different. Director Van Sant was in favor of the idea from the first moment. lie investigated costs and requirements: he made plans and let them be known; he notified the Council at their request, and then awaited their response and sponsorship. Director Van Sant yesterday afternoon was still waiting. In line with recent agitation for greater student interest in lTnion activities, it would seem that the Council too fails to function in an efficient manner. Wednesday Council President Harold Menu advised the NEBRAS Prom board opens contest Best presentation plan to receive $10 prize Nothing less than the most novel ideas will be considered in the search being made by the Junior-Senior prom committee for the plan to present the 1939 Prom Girl at the annual Junior-Senior prom, Friday. March 3. Last year Eloise Benjamin, 1938 Trom Girl, rose from the bell of a giant gold saxophone on the coliseum stage. The coliseum was thrown into half darkness as the stage curtains were drawn back to disclose the saxaphone facsimile in bold relief against a background of black sheets of music and white notes. This year's prom committee is attempting to surpass this clever and original stunt. They are, therefore, awarding the person who can submit the idea best in the estimation of the prom cojn mittee a prize of $10.00. The maxi mum cost of the winning stunt must not be more than $35. and a detailed list of expenditures must be submitted with each plan. All ideas are requested to be turned in by Friday, Feb. 17. to the office of the DAILY NEBRAS KAN editor. Your Problems Solved! We Prepare Scholarly Itnok Rrvirwi lrblrv Kssxva. 'aner. Knrrrh...

The night club is not new among the .colleges of the country. With student cooperation, the univer sities of Iowa, Wisconsin and Cal ifornia have recently established night clubs on their campuses which have proved to be outstand ing successes. If the Nebraska Union night club, long a dream of campus lead ers, becomes a reality, it will be one of the finest of its kind in the country. If tentative pians. worked out by Van Sent, are put into ef fect, the club would be located in the Union ballroom. Would remodel ballroom. The ballroom would be re modeled and new lighting effects installed to give the room a "softer appearance." Professional enter tainers and an orchestra to carry out the general night club idea are included in the tentative plans. Forrest Benn, president of the council, announced Thursday eve ning that the' council expected tb take action upon the plan imme diately after the Junior-Senior prom on March 3rd. "Before we can do anything definite,"' Benn said, "we must find out if the stu dents really want a night club." If the council takes action in the matter during the first part of Mareh. it is estimated tho club would be opened about the first of May. Unless the council should de cide to back the idea bcfoie the first of March, students will have only a month and a half, nt the most, to enjoy the privileges of the club. Exactly 71 percent of University of Pittsburgh co-eds participate in some extra-curricular activity.

Yesterday Director Van Sant stated that from the start he "has been willing to attempt the night club, even at a loss if necessary, in order to determ ine student reaction." But even for the efficient Union staff to endeavor to inaugurate such a proposal with out the whole hearted support of some student organization, would obviously be nothing short of foolhardy, in spite of the evident demand for additional entertainment facilities. It would be impossible to invest money upon ihf. uncertain n.-itronnsre directed by student the numerous week-end parties and the cafeteria dancing room have met with satisfying success. Why. then, shouldn't a night club, which is seemingly making such effect upon the social life of metropolitan cities, be successful in a situation where it ean be managed and patron ized ly students, and with students as enter tainers? What basis is there for the belief that students would not wish to attend a party spot where there will be no outsiders and where their friends are sure to congregate? However the Student Council may select to answer these question, the NHBKASKAN advocates definite action soon. Kntrrefl aa arcond-rlaM matter t the poatafflee In Lincoln.

Since a morbid curiosity ia reputed to be a part of any ordinary person's make-up, the article had more or less of a universal appeal to its readers, The writer contended that mem bers of "the weaker sex," whom we know to throw their hands over their faces and shudder when con fronted with horrible death or dis aster, really have a stronger mor bid curiosity than men. And vet on the other hand, we have always considered the man as the one who could be confronted with such sup posedly repulsive happenings, be especially curious about them, and then take them with a "grain of salt,- so to speak Feeling that a discussion of this topic would prove to be interesting to me normal reader altho it mar not have any definite educational value we gathered a few im promptu student opinions on th matter.

Such terms as "Slug him" and "gouge his eyes" were practically by-words of these members of the "weaker sex." TOM KAVAN AUGH, JUNIOR BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION "Laying prejudice aside, I think that women are equally as "blood thirsty' as men. They, like men, enjoy looking at the gorey angle of things. However, I do not be lieve that women care to show it as much as men. The recent news reels depicting horrible death in China, illustrate this fact.
