FROM THE CAPITAL CITY As beautiful a radio program as can be con ceived was broadcast Sunday afternoon from the rotunda of Nebraska's state capitol, itself recognized thruout the world as an architectural masterpiece. Featuring the superb singing of John Rosborough's Lincoln Cathedral choir, the presentation was one to leave its listeners silent in inexpressible apprecia tion. In the spring of 1933, Helen Pascoe, then edl- . tor of the DAILY, headed a drive to bring the Choir into the university family Inasmuch as its membership is mostly composed of students. In exchange for permanent quarters to be furnished by the school, the Choir was to adopt the name of the Nebraska Cathedral Choir. However the mat ter was indefinitely postponed by the board of Re gents and so was dropped. It is the hope of the Choir that someday it may be enabled to build on the university campus a great cathedral which would form a beautiful and Inspir ing center for student religious activities of a non cectarian sort. But regardless of whether this mate rial proof of the Choir's great work is soon realized and regardless of its lack of affiliation, that organ ization will continue to be one of the best ambassa dors that this university, this city, and this state can have. Wherever it is heard and the Choir has com manded the attention of nationwide audiences it carries an indefinable connotation of the finest things that life has to offer, and the worth of such a message cannot be measured. YOUR PRESENCE IS REQUESTED "Why limit those perfect pearls of wisdom which you think up every now and then to the confines of your own head or those of your imme diate friends? Send them in to the DAILY and see them printed for all the world to see!' To phrase it less like an advertisement for a correspondence course, the DAILY NEBRASKAN once more is issuing an invitation to its readers students, faculty, et al to make use of its letters column. Opinions and communications on all sub jects of reader interest will be welcomed and printed as promptly as possible. Names are requested for the information of the editors but will be withheld from publication if the writers so desire. The letters column is one section of the paper where the reader is indisputably king, and it can be only as interesting as the exchange of opinions therein. So send your ideas in to the DAILY. As Confuscius say: "One vocal reader worth two silent because latter liable to explosion from too long pent-up opinions." 1 JhiUidupL UNIVEKSITY OF NEBRASKA OFFICIAL BULLETIN This bulletin Is for the use of campus organizations, student and fac ulty members.

About this time of year every newspaper picks a favorite candidate for some election post some where in the country. Here in Nebraska the selec tion is more diversified than it has been for a de cade. However, it is not conceivable that, in spite of the numerous candidates for every post, that a dark horse can gain the nomination. Neither is it conceiv able that sectionalism will play any great roll in the nomination contests this year. In the old days, Nebraska was said to have two senators, one for the Burlington the other for the Union racific. Then for a time, the division was marked by geography, one for south of the Platte, one for the northern half of the state. For a number of years, the division came between Omaha and the rest of the state. This year, every candidate for the guberna torial posts are well known over every section of the state and a majority of them have successfully run in previous primaries for important positions. There fore, it seems unlikely that any local man, one who has the backing of an individual community, can hope to squeeze thru into the elections next November. BARB UNIOW.
