By Paul Svoboda In another few month the coun try will be cast in the throes of an other presidential campaign. Even the headline news of tne day, tne war in Europe, will be forced to back from its position as the pri mary interest of the day. Already the wheels of the vari ous political parties are beginning to roll, each day with increased momentum. The possible candi dates for president are but dice spinning around in a nation-wide roulette wheel. The winning num bers will not be'' determined until after the conventions next sum mer. The opinions of the American people are evidently beginning to crystalize. Polls taken weekly show but little difference in opinion from that of the preceding week or month. In a nation-wide survey of stu dent opinion on the question of "If Roosevelt is not a candidate in 1940, whom would you like to see elected," the majority of college students chose Thomas E. Dewey, republican racket-buster of New Tiork. Dean Tebo, bfzad freshman Garner. His term as vice president should qualify him for the position. He should also, due to his position, know the exact conditions existing in the country at the present time and have sound theories which would solve any national difficulties. Harold Wilson, arts and sciences sophomore I don't know a lot about Paul McNutt except that his work in the Philippines was very com mendable and therefore I think that he is the logical candidate His general appearance and per sonality impress me that he is the man for the job. Mariellen Marko, teachers senior Dewey. His success in breaking up the rackets in New York shbw honesty, courage, clear thinking, and many other essential qualities which befit a real president.

It was their idea that the pro posed campus be built around the present one and that buildings be added as needed. Students Friday, November 10, 1939 most likely add Nebraskans By Joe Belden, Editor. Student Opinion Survey of America. Thomas E. Dewey, youthful New York district attorney, is first choice for the United States presi dency among the nation's college and university students, less than a third of whom want Franklin v. Roosevelt to run again. Six months ago the Student Opinion Surveys of America, sounding board of U. S. college youth, found in its first poll on presidential possibilities that Paul V. McNutt, democrat, held the lead with a popularity of 17.7 percent, only 2.1 percent over Dewey. To day the racket busting republican has climbed ahead and has with him over a third of those colleg ians who declare they have made up their minds on a candidate for 1940. McNutt has dropped to sec ond place, Vice President John N. Garner following a close third. The poll represents the opinions of students without including President Roosevelt as a possible candidate. Staff interviewers also asked a cross-section of students including all age, sex, geograph ical, and political groups, "Would you like to see Roosevelt run for a third term?' Only 31.8 percent said yes. But since last January the president has increased his third-term ap proval among collegians from 28.2 percent, the continuing polls of the Student Opinion Surveys show, To the question, "If Roosevelt is not a candidate in 1910, whom would you like to see elected president?" these answers were given: May '39 ..15.6 ..17.7 Today 1. Dewey (R) . 2. McNutt (D) 3. Garner (D) 33.8 11.0 9.4 .. 9.7 (R) 3.8. 4. Vandenb'g 8.3 5. Hull (D) 8.3 7.9 All others 29.6 In both polls it has been found that most college youth apparently pay no attention to political party lines. Many who say their or their parent's sentiments lie with the republican party select a democrat and vice versa. Therefore, in the results above there is no attempt lo separate democrats, republic ans, or any others. Comparisons with the polls of tne American Institute of Public Opinion show that possible candi dales leading among the nation' votei s are the same among col lege students. With republican voters Dewey is a favorite. With democrats Garner is the leader, and McNutt, who has been gain ing consistently, is second only to me vice president. Among stu dents, however, Garner led only in me soutn. In every other section of the country Dewey and McNutt are more popular. The answers above represent opinions only of those students who have decided on a possible candidate. There is a large num ber about four out of every ten who say they do not yet have any particular choice.

Tooth No. 1, the biggest and sharpest, was the release for publi cation of a list or ten men carry ing more than their share of cam pus activities. These ten men ana any others discovered to be over- pointed will be given untu xsov. zu to straighten their affairs and come within the legal limits of the point system.

S. grand jury indicts Leudtke Paul Luedtke was indicted late Tuesday night by a federal grand jury for breaking into and stealing government property. Luedtke was one of two men accused of breaking into and steal ing two automatic pistols from Nebraska hall last winter. The two were also charged with break ing and entering several Greek houses on the campus. The federal government took charge of the case. Two geology parties remain in field near Broadwater and Red Cloud Two of the fifteen exploration parties that have worked in Ne- : , - . Jt i braska for the past year, digging for fossil remains, are still in the field, V. Bertrand Schultz, asslst and director of the museum said Saturday. Joe Johnson, senior from Lin coln, is in charge of the party working near Broadwater, Work ing with 17 WPA assistants John son has found mastadon remains and camel skeletons. The party uncovered the skull of a mastadon with a ten-foot trunk, the largest animal of the kind the museum has found. At Red Cloud, Robert Wolfe, Verdeen Clough and Harry Gun derson, university students,- are searching . for remains of the world'd largest camel similar to the kind found near there several years ago.

Free dance after game The Homecoming decorations contest was revived in 1934 by the Innocents, who have sponsored it since then. Last year the word "Victory" spelled in ice blocks won a cup for the Delta Gammas, while at the Sigma Nu house, Tarzan swinging Mizzou's tiger by the tail, won the other cup. An open house and luncheon for all old Innocents will be held Sat urday forenoon in the Innocent room in the Union. Free dancing to the music of Johnny Cox and his orchestra is an after-the-game feature offered by the senior men's honorary. At 5:15, the winners of the decora tions contest will be announced and the cups presented. The dance will be held in the coliseum from 4:30 to 6. Desert doctor to appear at convo Paul Harrison, medico missionary in Arabia speaks next Thursday Paul Harrison, the "Desert Doc tor" who graduated from the uni versity as an honor student to be come one of the world's most suc cessful surgeons, will speak at a convocation Thursday, Nov. 16, at 11 a. m. in the Union ballroom. Harrison is the man who, if he is lucky, gets 37 cents for an oper ation that would cost $1,000 in New York, who has practiced 28 years in the "pest holes" of Arabia, yet gaining a worldwide reputation as an authority on spinal anes thesia, who uses a pressure-cooker for a sterilizer and a blowtorch for a cauterizer. Harrison is the doctor who could not find an appendicitis case in Arabia in 25 years, who discovered that body tissues will resist flies and dust pretty well after perform ing dozens of rush operations in "the hottest city in the world," Muscat, Arabia, who invented a "blowtorch patch" of tough ox tissue for hernia cases, and who has had difficulty in operating on women who dare not remove their swathings of veil. The medico-missionary grew up in Scribner, Neb., couldn't under stand why another doctor "sick and tired of being poor" accepted a profitable job as doctor of a large oil company. "But he won't have any fun anymore," sighed Harrison. Ing the past year and black pins tne wrA parlies. 'Teople are always asking us w,,ere ' we find fossil remains," Schultz said. "The map should be of interest to them." Last year, the map shows, the museum sent parties to southern South Dakota, northern Illinois, and as far south as Texas, just below the New Mexico border. Kx plorcrs also went to northwest Iowa, eastern Wyoming, northern Colorado, northern Oklahoma, northern Texas, and southeast New Mexico. Project sites. In Nebraska, the museum work ed near tie towns of Harrison, Crawford, Mullen, Harrisburg, Sid ney, Curtis, Red Cloud and Wahoo as well as south of North Platte and west of Broken Bow. WPA projects, working in cooperation with the museum, went to Gordon, Hemingford, Broadwater, Llsco, and near Lincoln. All of the parties have been called in except those near Red Cloud and Broadwater. WPA workers have been busy In the museum itself during the past few months, remodeling dis- play cases and developing a new system for aloiihg materials. ...-v
