All together now for
National Recognition
of the University
. .Lend a bollot
Currently appearing In the May 4-10 issue of
Movie and Radio Guide magazine Is the picture
f Bertie Cox, the University of Nebraska's en
try in Paramount' Ail-American College Queen
contest. Competing with her for a trip to the
premiere of "Those Were the Days" at Galesburg,
Illinois, are fifteen other coeds whose photographs
appear in the same issue. Four out of the group
of sixteen will be elected for the honor by read
ers of the magazine, and surely no one should
be more interested in seeing Bettie Cox, one of
the four, than Nebraska students.
The several thousand votes which the campus
could give its official representative in the con
test might well mean the difference between elec
tion and elimination, since it is altogether likely
that other schools with candidates will lend active
support. The University student body is not so fre
quently given nation-wide recognition of this sort
that it can afford to yawn at an opportunity to
see one of its members gain the limelight. The
DAILY, sponsor of the local competition which
selected Bettie, earnestly solicits its readers to give
her the full support of their backing this week in
the last and most difficult contest hurdle. Write
her name in on the official ballots being printed in
this week's Movie and Radio Guide and mail them
to contest headquarters in time so that they will
be postmarked not later than Friday, May 10, the
deadline for balloting.
Let's show that anytime a Comhusker Is up
for honors, the old Nebraska spirit can be counted
on for 100 percent support. Victory for Bettie
will mean an occasion for congratulations not
only to her but to the university ana the entire
state.

Our guest writer today ia un unknow n scrib

the professors divide students into clashes it ia safe
to assume that all professors can also be divided
Into classes," he offers the groupings.
1. The Killer type. He wants to kill off the
lower third and thinks the bent way is by overwork.
2. The Card type. He is a card, but not an
ace. He's a 3x5 card. Outstanding is his index
appeal.
S. The Spicy type. He has a lot of cheek and
plenty of tongue to put into it His lectures kick
up intellectual sparks out of the academic flint.
4. The Skimmer type. The surfacing in his
courses is fine. But the foundation is weak.
5. The Fatherly type. He is the unexpectant
father, always giving pop quizzes.
6. The Hard Rock type. You have to be more
than a good musician to hit a high C under this
Joker. If he were a movie critic he wouldn't even
give the United States flag: 48 stars.
7. The Uh-Man type. He doesn't know any
punctuation ex-xpt. "ubs." For variety be throws
in a "but uh" now and then.
8. The Cocktail type. Ho whets your intellec
tual appetite He knows a great deal but doemt
try to make anyone realise it
9. The Candy-Between-Meato type. A oovrae
tinder him destroys your intellectual appetite.
10. The Axe-Grinder type. He can't sharpen
his wits, so he has t" frrlnd an aae. Sometimes it's
propaganda be griatia out
. Optional The Nomad type. Like the Nomad

Dar Editor:
I didn't mean to be a crank or a "rabble rou
ser.H The blaspheming term were no doubt out of
place, but they served my purpose of bringing the
matter to light and to the attention of many. Really,
the fellows in the grill are probably not "boorish
morons." That term was applied in a moment of
heat, when I was particularly disgusted with the at
titudes and actions of the grill personnel.
Let it be known, then, that I realize the futility
of name-calling and mud-slinging, but the fact re
mains that there is much room for improvement in
service in the grill.
Yesterday, I had a talk with Mrs. Quisenbury
in regard to the letter published in Sunday's
DAILY. She thanked me for bringing the matter
to light, but also, justifiably, condemned me for
the loosely applied terms in the text of the letter.
Naturally, I do not know enough about work
ing in a place like the grill to give any truly prac
tical and specific advice on changes . . . except that
perhaps one of the main causes for laxness on the
part of the fellows may be due to the fact that
there is not always an authority there to watch
them. It's only natural to slip when you know
you're not going to be caught. Then, too, perhaps,
if the fellows would remember that when they put
on their white jackets und walk in to go to work,
they're no longer students . . . they're members of
a staff that is suppowd to be of service to the
patron of the grill.
To forget that so-and-so ia a friend, or is one
of your classmates is sometimes not easy. I know.
I ushered in a theatre for two years. I know what
you have to "take" from the patrons. But what
I know, and what the grill waiters do not seem yet
to have learned is that you've got to take it, and
not try and dish any back.
This isn't to imply that the customers are the
waiters' superiors. . .this means that the waiters
are supposed to be doing a job. . .serving the pa
trons students and cut-ups, tho, they may be.
All I meant to say in that first letter and in
this one is that the grill waiters not all of them,
nor not just one but some, and they seem to be in
the majority, have not been doing their jobs well.
They've been lax and careless and slow. There is
much room for improvement and I for one would
like to see it. The rest of the students, I think,
are all in agreement that we want our Union to
be among the finest on ANY campus.

Pharmacy ...
Profs and former students
lead national druggists meet
Several faculty men and former

the scientific section of the Ameri
can Pharmaceutical Association;
Dr. F. S. Bukey is vice chairman
of the conference of teachers of
chemistry of the college group;
George Dekey of Purdue univer
sity, a Nebraska pharmacy gradu
ate, Sr. chairman of the college
association, and George Har
greavess, also a Nebraska gradu
ate and now on the staff of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, is
secretary of the organization.
Former Husker is secretary
James Dille, another former Ne
braskan and now of the Univer

the pharmaceutical association.
Dr. Bukey and Dr. Paul Jannke
will read papers before the college
meetings, and Dr. Harald HolcK
will read a paper before the college
association and one before a meet
ing of teachers of pharmacy and

Dean Lyman will represent the
American Association of Colleges

the annual meetings of the Ameri
can Council on Education at
Washington, D. C, May 2 and 3.
The university pharmacy staff will
be in the nation's capital May 13
to 15 for the annual United States
Pharacopooial convention. Preced
ing the Virginia conventions, Dean
Lyman represented the university
at the meetings in St. Louis of
the south central section of the
American Student Health Association.
With the school year rapidly drawing to an
end, women at the University of Oklahoma are
going to get all they can out of the fact that this
year is leap year, for they figure that the oppor
tunities which they now have will not return for
a long time.
In order to do something about it they have
inaugurated a "Now or Never Week." During this
week the coeds have 10:30 privileges every night
in order to do their courting. Even freshmen
women have all the privileges of upper classes dur
ing this week. To top it all off the fellows like
it. Some of them would just as soon have it go
on to the end of the year.

At the University of Kansas, where Business
Law finals were given prematurely this year, one
student footnoted his paper, "Any similarity be

Statisticians at the University of Washington
found that this year's freshmen are 11 pounds heav
ier, and one one-half inches taller and more than
a year younger than the freshmen of 1908.
Improved physical condition of the yearlings
can be attributed to better diet, more vitamins, and
more sports according to their university health
officer. At the same time mortality per thousand
for students ia 20 times less than non students of
the same age group.
Keepers of the lost and found department in
the registrar's office at Iowa State college declared
that they had come to the last straw last week,
when after complaining of lack of space to store
lost books, pens and pencils, someone turned in
a pair of trousers.
Rev. Charles K, Hayden, S. J., dean of men
at Creighton university Bay that if you are one
of those persona who is never fooled by a magician's
antics, then you had better be examined, for you
arc probably becoming deaf or are on the way to
the bug house.
Father Hayden came to this conclusion when
his Interest in physics and mathematics led him
to pursue the slight of hand trade. The conclu
sions are the result of a long series of experiments
conducted before classroom and civic groups.
Whether or not he la right, it U certain that bis
classes in which he demonstrate hie theories about
optical illusions are popular.
