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. You'll wonder too.
joe venutl. joe venutl. joe venutl. macaroni
and spaghetti, salami, joe venutl and hia fiddle,
hi, diddly, diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow
jumped over the moon, move over cow, here cornea
the student body.
the pied piped and the rats, the rats, ah, rata,
nice, clean rats, are the rata eligible, did they
paws soc. 53? hi ho and away we go to the music
of joey venutl, i men, joey venutl, I mean have
you heard, the man who plays this years prom
finney, yourd, swisher, costello, groth, campbelL
what a day. are they eligible, is dean thompson
eligible, are you eligible, clip, clop, clip clop, mostly
clip, the student council holds another election,
where the devil are those extra registration card,
can we vote for BDOC at the same time.
i bid three spads. three, three, thats right,

clubs, the steutevilles to you, bo. and now there are
none, forty-nine bottles hanging: on the wall, take
one away but they took both my quees of clubs
away, ia a Siamese twin guilty of murder, or aren't
Siamese twins eligible either.
wake me up f riday moth r for i am to be queen
cf the may or the prom girl or sober or something.
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?

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

How an indispensable factor in' occupational sue

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."

service to the nation , .

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-

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
