Once a month, thanks to our economic! society, we are forced to realize the sacrifices and expenditures of those dear ones who make possible the four years of study and enjoyment. Once a month an outside in j'luence is thrust at us which reminds us of the unimportance of our activities and of the sim plicity of our lives. Mven if snow were to blanket the hoped for business the stores have advertised, this edi tion, as the impulse to bring thoughts of home to students' minds twice instead of but once this thirty days, would si ill be a social success.

BEAUTY FOR ALL Very proud of their slate will Xebraskans be who a! lend the New York World's fair this summer when they hear their rcently selected representatives the Lincoln Cathedral Choir. y way of small recognition of the groups ex ceptional talent, and ability, the unicameral legislature yesterday unanimously made the desiunat ion. Difficult would this slate, known in the east for its football team and that loam's name sake, corn, find a better representative. In the Cathedral Choir Xebraskans prove beyond all doubt, their appreciation of the esthetic beau lics of this world, for no ordinary group of voices is t his choir. Not the singers of any one creed or re ligion, but rather the beaul ifieis of the music of all, the students who comprise its member ship do more than just. sing. Into their voices they add all the "warmlli of feeling and sincere emotion which only youth can muster. From the people of Xebraska to the people of the world, the Lincoln Cathedral Choir will spread its lesson of love and its contribution of true beauty.

Man, by nature a contrary ani mal, is however unwilling to admit that he cannot and does not gov ern himself. When one suggests that political fraud is being per petrated by these elected repre sentatives of the people, he is de nounced as a radical and attempts are made to ostracize him in a social sense. Man has forever sennit the truth, but this one fundamental truth he will not s.dm:l: man is fallible. When a voter (fallible) elects another (fal'ible) to represent him, the re K'l'tant government is doubly falli ble. This is one truth which the democracies are afraid to face be cause they know it cannot be suc ceviiilly refuted. The natural conclusion, there fore, is to have the least fallible government, which is monarchy or dictatorship. The double fallibility of the democratic systems is so vo'ded, and single fallibility sub stituted. When the power of gov ernment Is in the hands of a single man, he, and only he, is held li able, so that the public can absolve itself of blame for his errors. A dictator will be prosperous only so long as his country is in a state of prosperity, so he at tempts to preserve his "nnsl.-egg." There is no reason for the single rvler to nirilie a quick "clean-up," which would upset tf'e nation's fi nancial balances, since ha holds office for life. So under dictator ship the rape of the public is more gradual and less severely felt than under democratic systems. As has been pointed out, man is led even though he constructs and believes in the illusion of democratic representative govern ment. In a democracy the plans of government are changed so often, in response to the creation of new panaceas, that in the end they lead nowhere. To have their full force and beneficial effect, plans must be carried to their full end which is impossible in democ racy. Under a dictatorship, con scious means are undertaken to achieve those ends, and as a re sult, man is much happier. The public deluded it.self in 1916 with the political slogan "He kept us out of the war," yet a year later we were in that war. The action of the public or of the one man? Definitely, it was the latter which molded public opinion in support of his own views. Under dictator ship we would have known from the first that we were to partici pate in the war and so have been more adequately prepared for it. The sustaining of man's indi vidual rights is the war-cry of all democratic systems, but these rights are of no avail since they are turned on and off at the will of our unscrupulous political char latans. In other words, what we have here is virtual dictatorship, run by the few for their own btnefit, sanctioned by the lethargic and in dolent public, with drastic changes every so often (between the major parties) which counteract the benefits of concentrated action possible under a monarchy or dictatorship. T0 E3 E3 dnqjuJbubi H)W nois SPRING AFFLCT lOUt Ch ' Peterson r D Q Q "Tis in the spring, so . jts feign, that the young man'' nim ble brain, lightly turns to t'i .ghts of love." So wrote Shak peare, Charley Brock or somebody. In general, spring usually means class cutting. ltnguid laziness, and the year's most fertile season for romance. However, spring also has a definite effect upon each indi vidual. Thus, it is the purpose of today's question to seek out and tabulate tnis feeling. The number of answers along the lighter vein are a good indica tion of what happens to an indi vidual who i besieged by the spirit of spring. HAROLD HOPKINS - AFFILI ATKD. "I like spring because you can discard all of your heavy winter clothing and get "back to nature" feeling." JIM MULLIN AFFILIATED. "Comes the verdant spring-time, there wells up within my barren, yet capricious, soul, a certain tremor-tingling a titill.ithn, which predicts my winter philandering will be put to nugatory shame by spring fascinations and loves." ULANCHE LARSON UNAF FILIATED. "It generally means new clothes, anil plenty of them. However, to me, the outstanding tiling about spring is the utterly inexplicable feeling of laziness that it casts over vou." DONALD MYRON UNAF FILIATED. "Huh?" BILL WELLINGKR AFFILI ATED. "About this time of the year, when the green grass gets grab high, my thoughts tin n to the little crocuses poking their weary head through! the moist earth. It is really beauiful." GENEVIEVE HARMON AF FILIATED. "I get to feeling poetic and ra a a write a lot of things like this: Leave us lift, Our voice and sing, Like we was glad, That it are spring. BETTY JO ALBERT UNAF FILIATED. "You don't worry any more and you have a feeling that you would like to be six years old again. You want to go kite flying and roller skating. All classes fare a dream of the 'day' type." DONALD MOOR E AFFILI ATED. "To me. spring is the unveiling. It seems as though the beauty of all of the women on the campus hibernates during the winter. All of a sudden, in early spring, this beauty blossoms out and then the world is indeed kind to the eyes." ELEANOR L U T Z AFFILLI ATED. "Ho hum." BOR STEINMEYER UNAFF ILIATED. "It generally means that people forget their studies and start to do their necking in the open. This open necking is almost conven tional and I dislike being uncon ventional." MARJORIE KIN G AFFILI ATED. "To me, spring is just like a new year. The decided change in colors, clothing, and spirits makes the earth a different place entirely. Then too, spring suggests vacation and activity." LOIS L A H L A UNAFFILI ATED. "I start to wear more comfort able and lighter clothing. I want to be outdors and go on picnics, and other activities. It makes you want to do thing. HARRY WILLIAMS AFFILI ATED. "This sounds sort'a silly but I feel just like one of these things that blossom out. I feel like I can expand and do things." Kosmet playwrights suffer in finding suitable title Names, names! Will they click? This is the problem which faces the play writer in selecting a title for a Kosmet Klub, or for that matter, any play.

"The choir truly represents the finest traditions of the youth and talent of the state," the resolution reads, "and the patrons of this choir have made financial ar rangements to send it to the New York fair. On recent eastern tours the Lincoln Cathedral choir has been acclaimed by critics as the finest organization of its kind in the country. The resolution further provides that a copy be spread at large upon the legislative journal and that the clerk be directed to for ward a copy, suitably engrossed, to John M. Rosborough, choir di rector, as his credentials to pre sent at the fair as official repre sentative of Nebraska. Pershing iv'ios wiil i.icot for drill tonight at 5 o'ekek in Ne braska hall.

Thii Weekend a Fri., Set., Sunday oTEIRPJRlEfEO and his friends' heads, the work of choosing the appropriate name be gins. According to Bruce Camp bell, co-author with Ed Steeves of "Alias Alladin," the task of finding a name that will appeal to the hearer is one almost com parable with the preparation of a plot. 'Nightmare,' 'Potpourri suggested. Some names are too suggestive, others are dead. Some just don't ring properly while others are hard to understand. Among the final choices considered for Alias Aladdin, were the Arabian Night mare and Persian Potpourri. Though these two names were clever enough they were impos sible choices for a show title, in the first instance because it sug gests the wrong meaning, and in the second instance because the name was not understandable to the average person. Tl- name of the show, the authors feci, must sell the plot to the public. Much of the success of ticket sales depends upon the appeal made by the title. It is for that reason that Kosmet Klub so carefully chooses snappy names, and have successfully created such titles In the past as "Hades Ladies," "Southern Exposure" and "Bar-O-Ranch." o 4 Piaudly PretvnlK- and his Famous Orciiestra v F euturing A KAY KEEVER aria A V7 OK IT 1 - "- ShtaAL h'.iuh Frii-iy "YOU CAN'T CHEAT AN HONUST MAN" Sal.
