LIBERALS: As minority faction in the Coun cil for several years, you well should know how fair it is that such a faction (with its backing of many voters) should he represented on Prom Com mittees. STUDENT COUNCIL: Inasmuch as the Prom is your offspring, you should be interested in its future. Under the present system of elec tion, very few people know who the members of prom Committees are. A general election would stimulate interest in the Prom to a great degree and help restore the ?fVir to its traditional posi tion as one of the soc.. season's top attractions. It would place real campus leaders on the com mitteenot just unqualified hopefuls. The gen eral disorder surrounding the work of this year's Committee is a good example of the sad state of affairs into which the Prom has fallen. If you would not see membership on the Prom Commit tee drop into total disrepute as a very minor ac tivity, you should be interested in any move which would restore interest and prestige in the affair. STUDENTS: You are expected to patronize the rrom each year and by your attendance sup port it. Yet you hava no voice in the arrangements for it. If you feel dissatisfied with the work done sc far by the Committee this year if you feel that a better orchestra might have been secured, for example -VOTE today that YES, YOU FAVOR DI RECT ELECTION OF THE PROM COMMITTEE BY GENERAL STUDENT BALLOT. SjcAafL A man came into my life last night. In a dream, titlan hair and incomprehensible as well as comprehensible at the same time. Talked about the prom. He said. A lot of things. I'm wonder ing.

Joey venutl, tooty-fruity, hi-ho. Yes, indeed, you meet strange people in your dreams. Titian haired ones. You'll probably meet him sometime. Almost everyone does. Would you like to broadcast your grades? Most students wouldn't, but the Louisiana State "Daily Reveille" reports a case where that proced ure may be necessary. According to their junior division regulations, grades must be reported to the student's guar dian. That would be all right but the particular frosh's guardian is at the South Pole with Admiral Byrd. Temporarily, action on the case is hanging fire. Professors who have trouble reading student notebooks because of the poor handwriting can ap ply to Prof. Melville Jacobs, of the University of Washington. The Washington "Dally" reports that he has two olde notebooks that no one else In the world can read: The reason they are writ ten in the fast-dying-out Indian language, Galice. At the same University they turn out the com plete actor. No phase of the training is left out of the students curriculum. Newest requirement for dramatists is a sewing course. Endorsement for the course came from a sophomore, "Before I took this course I couldn't sew a button. Now I've already sewn two buttons." A columnist in the "University Daily Kansan" reported progress on the men's dormitory project Some unknown philanthropist dropped a nickle in the endowment association box outside the Chan cellor's office. And from the "Daily Illini" Famous last line: Did you really flunk out? UNIVERSITY OF NEBR ASKA OFFICIAL BULLETIN This bulletin Is for the use of campus organizations, students and fac ulty members.

Letter! thould not be longer than 300 word and must be signed. Seattle, Wash. Febr. 19, 1940. Dear editor: Last Saturday evening, Feb. 17, I attended my first alumni banquet, in the Windsor Room, of the Hotel New Washington, in Seattle. There to my delight I found about 120 other Ne braskans who were there for the same purpose, that of commemorating the founding of the University of Nebraska. The tables of the dining room were arranged in the shape of a large N, and sheets with Nebraska songs were on the tables as well as N stickers and the enclosed alum-slogan. Roll call was taken and the oldest graduate, was Mr. Hartmann, class of 1880 Mr. Hartmann had some grand tales to tell of early Nebraska. Next to me sat the Woods twins, Ralph and Rufus, class of 1903, who created lots of excitement with their wild tales, one trying to outdo the other. Rufus Woods is from Wenatchee, a newspaper man who was very prominent in having Grand Coulee Dam built Finally the class of 39 was asked to stand, and there were four of us present. Lois Cooper, Lester Bursik, Doctor Harold Gallagher and myself. Mr. John J. O'Brien delivered the Charter Day ad dress, Mr. Dean Eastman, president of the associa tion presided. The following officers were elected for the coming year. Mr. Charles Sargent, Chelon, as president; Mrs. Jessie Emory Cook, vice presi dent, and J. Vernon Clemans, class of '37 and brother of Virginia Clemans, was re-elected secre tary and treasurer. Terhaps the most Impressive thing was a record ing with Nebraska songs, and a special greeting from Mr. DuTeau for the Nebraskarui in Washing ton. We chose the slogan, "Once a Cornhusker, always a Cornhusker," as one to follow. After such an ex citing evening I felt that you should know about it It almost seemed Incredible that from 1880 to 1940, a period of 60 years, such loyalty was shown. I hope that every graduate of Nebraska will be inspired at their first alumni banquet aa I was at mine. I am proud to be a Nebraakan, and a Nebraska graduate, and the alumni association very definitely ia an or ganization worth having. An Gerslb. Trte individual most In demand Is on who can get along succesi fully wilk other persons, control his emotions, and the like. Mora skill and knowledge no longer suffice. Employers insist that social facility is How an indispensable factor in' occupational sue cess." University of Wisconsin's trof. A. It. Edgerton, vocational guidance expert, urges college students to become versatile and adaptable. "College tries to educate all sides of our person alities, the mind, body, Spirit and a social sense which is m duty to the community. Therm should be four years of happy life, and when the student is through college, ways of serving her country will open up through music, medicine, housing and politics." Barnard college's Dean Virginia C. Gildersleeve urges today's undergraduates to prepare themeslves for service to the nation , . (Continued from Page I.) poses within it. Although the stu dents may not see its worth at first, I feel sure that there will be less trouble in the long run. Lowell Michael, Eng, Junior. The student body will probably not prefer the new type of rally to the old torchlight parades, but because of faculty opposition and much needed student legislation, the students will probably accept this new rally as a satisfactory substitiute for its colorful out lawed predecessor. There must be some outlet for the interest and emotional upheavals that are felt by political elections and I believe the new rally will offer a safe and sane outlet for those emotions. Shirley Scott, Teachers, Freshman. It doesn't make any difference to me but I think rallies are point less. No one pays any attention to what is said and we vote for whom we are told. Jim Evinger, Biz Ad, Junior. I do not favor the abolishment of faction rallies. I think that if the factions really clamped down, that phase of the rally in which the members of the parties are injured and property is destroyed, could be eliminated. Joanne Beltzer, Teachers Junior. I like things as they are. We get to stay at our sorority houses and besides there wouldn't be any excitement in large centralized rallies. John Sandall, Arts and Science, Sophomore. Rallies, as they have been con ducted in the past should remain that way. It is another chance to show our pugilistic and pitching talents. But I do think candidates should make their own speeches. (Continued from Page l.J closed, the names of the Prom Girl candidates were divulged for publication, and included in the list were twins Fern and Mary Steuteville. "Why, they can't do that," sputtered Ed Segrist. But Marian Bradstreet was en thusiastic. "Of course they can. It's wonderful publicity." When the matter was taken before Prof. Lantz, Council advisor, he decided instantly that the Steutevilles were definitely two people, and defi nitely could not run as one. When Lowell Michael and Emma Marie Schutloffel concurred in the opin ion, it was decided. "The Steute villes can't run." So all seemed to be well, and Betty Groth, Woodie Campbell, Yvonne Costello, Laura Ellen Fin ney, Dorothy Swisher, and Ruth Yourd were announced with much fanfare as the six candidates to be voted on in today's election. But yesterday an amazing fact was divulged. It seemed that in the excitement over the Steute villes nobody had remembered the minor details of checking the eligi- Ijiuijr yJL lilt: uiiiLi vaiiiimaivfi, vi.ti early Monday, Cambcll and Groth were definitely ineligible. And so it goes. The committee seems to make it a point to have not more than two agree on the same subject at the same time. Might be, come 5:00 next Satur day, that somebody will discover there's a 'basketball game sched uled to take place in the coliseum, and that Joe Venuti was engaged ior last ween ena.
