DAILY NEBRASKA!
On. Jim. Side,
hy lioh Aldrich
When we heard about the uni
versity's new ruling outlawing
nepotism at Nebraska we rushed
right over to interview Prof.
Lucius Lorelei Bopp, A. B. X. Y.
Oh, Boy. Prof. Bopp is renowned
for his invention of the self-exploding
automobile time bomb for
Bilencing hack seat drivers.
"This new rule against nepotism
has me down in the dumps," Prof.
Bopp snapped peevishly. "Why.
nepotism bus made this university
What it is one big happy family.
If it hadn't tioen for my uncle and
eight cousins I'd never have
muscien in."
"I've eiven the best vears of niv
Prof. Bopp r;iged, and what do I
get? The cool collar-bone."
"Look at Hollywood. There
they've raised nepotism to a fine
art. Why. Sam Goldwyn can't say
a harsh word to his office boy. It
might be his wife's nephew."
And, leaving Lucius tearing
three telephone books, we moved
Co to bigger things. . . .
They tell ns this really happened
more than once.
Senior: "Who teaches that
course you're taking?"
Freshman (looking at his class
schedule): "Staff. Is he good?"
No doubt we've been reading too
much of Esquire lately but the fol
lowing thrilling tale-of Life in the
Ozarks or Horace the Hapless
Hillbilly escaped us before we
could stop it:
Old Jed lay in the sun and tried
to open his eyes. It was hard
work but at last he got one lid up,
then another. But the effort was
too much. Old Jed felt himself
growing weaker.
"I'm done foah,1
" he sighed and
fell back, exhausted.
"You'ns ought to know better
than to try open in' yore eyes be
foah foah o'clock," Jed's wife said.
' "Who's thet a-comin' up the
path? If it's another one-of them
radio comedians lookin' for hill
billy jokes, hand me my squirrel
rifle."
"Pardon me, sir," a bright
young man greeted Jed. "I'm
from the Gallup poll. Would you
mind telling me if you're going to
ote for Roosevelt or Willkie?"
Jed thought a while. "Roose
velt," he said. Then he sat up,
scratched, yawned, spat, and
reached for his jug.
"Yes, sir," he said. "Any man
that can beat them Spaniards at
San Juan Hill is good enough for
me!"
Now that this newspaper is
functioning with something like
regularity new reporters aie t t' -
Ing over the job of scoopir.g ti
campus. Naturally they will U
faced with the problem of pitting
in to see people who don't vvunt to
be seen.
As a veteran of a wh !e year's
sad experience we've found the
best phrases to use are:
"Tell him his ci:r ii, parked next
to a fire plug and Si-rgeant Regler
is heading thin way."
"Tell him I have his check from
the head office."
t i.. , i
iisit-ri, my 010 man a got m-
uence: sl him how he'd like to
go back to dishing hash and,
what's worse - eating it."'
"Oh. so he won't talk, eh? Wdl,
uppose I use my imagination!"
Of course, you'll probably be
thrown out on your ear. But that's
how we got our start!

Neighbors:
We of the DAILY staff, desirous of an afternoon's entertain
ment similar to buying a can of crushed pineapple and then fitting
the pieces together, do hereby cast forth this challenge to you
calling for your staff to meet our staff in 60 minutes of gruelling
football, Friday afternoon. Are you mice or men? Don't let us
draw our own conclusions.
Of course we realize that for your team, absence of the body
will be better than presence of the mind in such a game. And while
we are realizing of course we realize that if you don't show up for
this game we will have to believe that ugly rumor concerning you
which states that your men are so yellow that your blood trans
fusion would have to come from a grapefruit.
The game shall be played on the new athletic field at 2o'clock.
The referee shall be objected to by joint disagreemnt and shall be
partial, biased, bribed, and a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
Our team has started to practice already. Workouts have been
conducted during the past week in one of the bigger closets in the
Union, under the supervision of "Biff" Jones, who spends his spare
time coaching another more insignificant team. Jones, in an ex
clusive interview stated that his "biff" trust is bound to come thru
and win by an unlarge margin. I think that it is perfectly safe to
say that "Weir out to win." - '
Of course the place of battle will be the new athletic fields north
and west of the coliseum and you will furnish your own ambulance
for the DAILY cannot be responsible for the arms and legs which
surely will be left on the field of battle.
Our strength is the strength of two full teams because our
hearts are pure! And besides there's red blood in our veins!
Can the Cornhusker say as much? And mean it?

published and distributed this year
by the National Education Asso
ciation of Washington. D. C. Dar
lington's leaflet tells the advant
ages of supervised correspondence
study for home-bound children.
At present there is no law in
Nebraska or half the other states
which makes provision for the ed
ucation of crippled, isolated or
otherwise homebound children, the
article explains, stating that this
year for the first time the exten
sion division of the university is
offering correspondence courses in
elementary, high school and col
lege levels. For ten years it has
been possible for children of high
school age to receive their educa
tion thru the mail and this year
younger children may receive in
struction for the first eight
grades.
There are between 600 and 1,000
homebound children in Nebraska,
Darlington declares, which. Mr.
Beggs of the extension depart
ment plans to notify thru a pub
licity dnve of their opportunity
for an education. The parents are
to write to Darlington and explain
the child's condition and his or her
present school standing. Each pu
pil to be enrolled must have the
consent of the local school and if
the child is physically handicapped
he must have the consent of the

to the local school where he or she
receives credit Jor a years work.
The cost for a course, which is
comparable to a year in school, is
$75. If the parents are unable to
pay for the course the local school
district is encouraged to do so
but they are not obligated in any
way. '
Material is now ready to be dis
tributed for grades three to eight
By the first of January the sup

grades wil be ready.
The University of Nebraska ia
the only state university which

Architect u ml

at student exhibit
Featured in the student exhibit
in the Temple basement is a proj
ect in architectural design spon
sored by the Structural Olav
Products association. This project,
taken up by the advanced stu
dents in classes of design, en
tailed composing a modern Park
Pavilion. The best design is to be
used by the association for adver
tising purposes. All efforts are
gathered together by the architec
ture department for complete dis
play. Interesting also is the work
done by the young designers in
archeological restoration. Given
documentary evidence and using
their knowledge of compostion,
students have drawn colorful plana
for Egyptian tombs, knight's halls,
and other architectural structures.
Work in the exhibit ranges from
the simplest form of composition
in line and color to .the most com
plex. Of the later type is David
Leavitt's design for a hall of as
tronomy which received first hon
ors in a judging conducted by the
tteaux Arts in New York.

"There are many Germans ana
Italians there, but there also are
many persons of all nationalities,"
said Miss Hosp, adding that "there
is nothing new or sudden about
the situation, however, since these
people have been immigrating
there for many years. .
In Dean Nels A. Bengtson s ad
dress he reported 1,498 applica
tions for admission to the Junior
Division were on file before fresh
man week this fall. Only 237 stu
dents failed to appear for the first
classification test on Sept. xi,
while 231 took the test who had
not presented credentials previ
ously. Reports on progress.
After outlining the steps taken
in setting up the Junior Division
and reporting on the program to
date, Dean Bengtson warned his
colleagues that "the real goal has
not yet been reached. We must
continue to develop the Division
as a 'vestibule college out of
which all entering students may
be carefully guided into programs
of study in which they are both
interested and qualified for suc
cess." Dr. Ginsburg described
some findings from his research
work during the past year study
ing the policy of ancient Rome in
its efforts to improve the condi
tion of the poor. He has recently
returned from an absence on leave
working in New York and Cam

Humanity born in Rome.
"The idea of humanity was born
in Rome in the days of the re
public and it never died in the
subsequent centuries," stated Dr.
Ginsburg.
Chancellor Boucher recalled the
generosity of the late Don Love to
the university and declared the
gifts were for the most part due
to long friendship between Mr.
Love and Chancellor Emeritus
E. A. Burnett, who sat at the
speakers' table and accepted the
gratitude of thi3 faculty.
