Collegiate stars
are successful
after graduation
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (ACP).
A survey of the employment
record of former University of
Minnesota athletes discredits a
common belief that collegiate stars
shine less brightly after gradu
ation. Clarence Osell, instructor in or
thopedics, made a study of the
extensive file on former Minne
sota athletes.
He discovered that 27 per cent
of the former athletes now are
professional men, 13 per cent
salesmen, 9 per cent engineers,
7 per cent executives, and 6 per
cent teachers.

legislation is better considered,
that committee hearings are more
complete and that the public has
a better chance to be heard in the
unicameral.
-But," said the senator, "the bi
cameral was a more fair cross sec
tion of the state's people. In this
session, for example, the farming
interests are not adequately rep
resented and the population cen
ters are overrepresented."
Twentieth district legislator.
Senator Peterson is the legisla
tor for the 20th district, Lancaster
county. Born on a farm in Ne
braska, he attended Luther col
lege in Wahoo, Augustana in Rock
Island, 111., and law school here at
Nebraska. The lawmaker is a
practicing attorney in Lincoln.
Questioned as to his particular
goals in legislation Senator Pe
terson replied that he had no spe
cific objective "Only to see that
the state gets good legislation."
This session Senator Peterson
served on the education, govern
ment, banking, insurance and com
merce committees.

functioning of the Student Coun
cil this year, stating that "work
is to be the keyword of Student
Council activity" came true as the
outgoing council sponsored sev
eral projects and accomplished the
very important ones: the Big Six
Student Council convention, and
the central campus booking
agency.
Presided over by John Mason,
the council met regularly every
two weeks and for special meet
ings on Wednesday night at 5
o'clock. Ruth Clark was elected
secretary of the organization, and
Ruth Ann Sheldon replaced Lowell
Michael as vice president.
Lasting from t e
Feb. 13 thru
Feb. 15. the Big
Six convention
was initiated
by the univer
sity council and
held on the UN
campus. Five
colleges from
four states, in
c 1 u d ing Ne
braska sent
delegates. Ruth
Clark was in
charge of the
c o n v e n tion,
which as the
delegates de
clared, was very successful for its
first attempt.
Discussion groups, luncheons,
dinners, a banquet in the Corn
husker and attendance at the
Interfraternity Ball highlighted
the program. Each school spon
sored and took charge of a discus
sion group, and many varied
forms such as campus politics and
constitutions, were presented.
Lodging for the representatives
was provided by barb and Greek
houses, and all meals except
breakfast were held at the Union.
Booking agency becomes a reality.
Simmering for many months,
the central campus booking
agency finally was created last
month when Joyce Ayres, Union
director, accepted the responsibil
ity of securing and contracting
bands for the six big university
parties Military ball. Mortar
Board party, prom, interfraternity
ball, "N" club jamboree, and the
Union birthday ball.

later passed the plan authorizing
Ayres to take charge of tne dook
ing agency.
Committees.
A great many committees op
erate in the council each year.
Authorized by the council to
perform without always receiving
the approval of the whole body,
the judiciary committee has had
a great deal of action. At the
election last fall its decision to,
first, cast out ag college votes,
and later, to hold an entire new
election, was appealed to the sen
ate committee and overruled.
For the coming election, the
judiciary committee has just in
terpreted Article IV of the council
constitution which caused so much
trouble last fall, in order to make
election rules more definite and
less subject to appeal.
Student activity tickets have
been in the wind for a long time.
This year the activity tickets com
mittee took definite action to se
cure a voluntary activities ticket
composed of the DAILY, the
Awgwan Flash, the University
Theater, and possibly a lecture
series. Reductions were obtained
from each of these organizations,
and it is thought an intense drive
on the part of the Corn Cobs and
Tassels will be effective in the
fall, more effective than several
drives for each of these publica
tions and activities.
Automatic Subscription
The committee has made a con
certed drive to secure automatic
subscriptions to THE DAILY NE
BRASKAN. Early this spring pe
titions were circulated in order to
gauge student opinion concerning
the plan.
"The proposed plan called for a
75 cents addition each semester
to the registration fees of all stu
dents on the Lincoln campus, ex
cept those in Law, Dentistry and
Graduate colleges," explained Bur
ton Thiel, chairman of the com
mittee. "It was felt that there is a def
inite need on the campus for a
publication which would reach all
the students, that such a publica
tion might serve to heal the barb
greek wound, and that the Daily
"All senior women are invited
to be in the Ivy Day chain, which
parades on Ivy Day morning,"
Pat Sternberg, president of Mor
tar Boards, announced yesterday.
"The only requisite is that they
wear white dresses."
Underclass women will form a
Daisy chain, and letters have been
sent to all sorority and organized
houses on the campus reminding
them to submit the name of the
girl to represent them on or be
fore Friday. Coeds in the Daisy
chain will wear pastel colored
dresses, and will sing a song for
which practices will be held on
Monday and Tuesday at 5 p. m.
Leaders of the two chains will
be women who are active leaders
in campus affairs, and the Ivy
Day and Daisy chains will recog
nize them as such.
Universities keep
pace willi defense
program of US
CHICAGO, 111. (ACP). The na
tion's universities and colleges are
keeping pace with the govern
menfs defense program, in the
opinion of Maj. John L. Griffith,
commissioner of athletics of the
Western conference.
Physical preparedness programs
in the colleges, he said, have two
objectives: providing of trained
leaders in the field and building
of fitness in youth through inten
sive athletic training and partici
pation.
As evidence of expanding ath
letic programs in the colleges, the
Big Ten athletic czar pointed out
that physical plant and facilities
of the ten schools have been in
creased in worth 519,844,319 since
1919. Accompanying the physical
expansion has been a 67.3 per cent
increase in personnel, coaches,
intra-mural athletics and physi
cal education directors.

In every campus poll
the Arrow .Gordon wins
in a walk. Six reasons why,
1. Its basketweave fabric is sturdy and a
bear for long wear. In white, colors, and fancy
patterns.
2. Its Arrow collar is packed with tailoring perfection
and authentically styled for college men.
3. Being Sanforized-Shrunk (its fabric shrinkage is
less than 1). A new shirt free if one ever shrink'..
4. The Mitoga cut is
shaped to fit the torso
(broad shoulders nar
row waist).
5. Its anchored buttons
take a 40 lb. pull.
&. Its birthright is Arrow
and that means in sim

Dear Friend:
Do you cheat? Do you steal?
Some do, you know. Some make
quite a business of it. Those who
have a flair for cheating and
stealing even make an art of it,
an art, however, that gets littl
public applause and few support
ing patrons.
Cheaters and pessimists sin
cerely believe that almost all per
sons cheat and the cheaters think
that the chcatingest fellow is the
fellow who rings the bell. But,
(and, it is such an important
'but") there are men (many,
many men) who have that certain
attitude toward things (both gen
eral and specific) which forces
them to be always straight and
honest, always, no matter what.
There is (in spite of the warped
theories of the cheaters) a certain
sustaining strength that comes to
a man because of the possession
of a clear absolute standard of
honesty within his heart. He may
walk with a throng or walk alono
but always he walks erect, even
eyed with all his comrades, and
afraid of nothing on this world or
off it There is (in spite of the
seeming successes of stealers) an
inner calm which comes to a man
when, regardless of all the past,
he resolves to play fair and square
with himself.
Some of those, who would mag
ically turn cheaters into non-
cheaters, search ponderous tomes
devoted to law, intricate systems
devoted to honor, slick preambles
and by-laws devoted to regula
tions, approved programs of em
perois and solemn commandments
of medicine men, but their efforts
are to little avail since the cheat
ing act is merely an expression
of a point of view. It wculd be
better to change minds.
Others (more oratorically In
clined) who cherish dreams of a
cheatless social order, place reli
ance in the speech techniques and
load the waves with messages,
challenges, exhortations and ap
peals but these, too (these zealous
ones) find little change in human
conduct except in those persons
who, because of the logic, decide
to give the mental machinery an
overhauling.
Nebraskan would be improved by
such a plan being then able to
print eight pages each day, and
give space to minority groups
which are not properly publicized
by the DAILY at present."
petitions were stopped, how
ever, because of the resentment
among the student body against
this method of testing student
opinion.
Members of the activity ticket
committee besides Thiel are
Marion Cramer, Mary Rosborough,
Dorthy Jean Bryan, Dale Theobald
and Max Whittaker.
Elections committee.
Probably the committee with
the most work this year was the
elections committee. Co-chairmen
Burton Thiel and Dale Theobald
took charge of the election for Pep
Queen, the fall elections, and the
election for Prom Girl. Under
their guidance an amendment
changing the date of filings for
elections from the first Friday to
the second Friday before election
was passed by the student body.
At the present time the elections
committee consisting pf Dorothy
Jean Bryan, Jean Humphery and
Ruth Ann Sheldon as well as
Theobald and Thiel, is in charge
of the election next Tuesday and
is working to pass an amendment
reappropriating the representation
on the Council.
The constitutions committee held
four meetings this year at which
they listed the organizations hav
ing constitutions, and watched for
those operating without the per
mission of the Council. In March
tthey recommended that the Coun
cil pass the Senior Council con
stitution with the provisions that
an amendment concerning mem
bership be added, and on April 8
they recommended the passing of
the Interhouse Council constitu
tion with a few minor changes.
Norma Jean Campbell has acted
as chairman of this committee,
and she was aided by Marvin
Thompson, Priscilla Chain and
Mary Rosborough.
Sponsors migration.
Three-hundred-fourteen students
took part in last October's success
ful migration to Lawrence, Kas.,
at a cost of $6.45 a student. A.
special train hired for the occas
ion left at 6:45 a. m. on Saturday,
October 19, and left Lawrence at
midnight of the same day. Miriam
Rubnitz headed the migratees
committee, assisted by Marion
Cramer and Chris Petersen.
In charge of the Honors Convo
cation, held Tuesday, were Miriam
Rupnitz, Marian Cramer, and
Ruth Iverson.
Two forums have been held thus
far by the Activities for Fresh
men committee, consisting of Ruth
Iverson, chairman, Burton Thiel,
Marvin Thompson, and Bob O'Con
nell. The first stressed the ac
tivities, Kosmet Klub and Corn
Cobs, and the second presented a
discussion of the political factions
on the campus.
Hold investigation.
An attempt was made by a
committee for that purpose to in
vestigate rumors that students
were working long hours for in
adequate pay and under poor con
ditions. Despite the efforts of the
committee headed by Ray Murray,
who was aided by Kenneth Hol
land, no results were obtained be
cause of the failure of the student
body to cooperate in giving infor
mation. Fifteen hundred copies of
a questionnaire were distributed,
but only 50 were returned.
The point system committee
failed to function at the first of
the year, but when the chairman
ship was changed to Jean Humph
rey it was found that about seven
junior men were over-pointed, and
they were notified of this. Others
on the committee are Max Whit
taker and Ruth Iverson.
The housing committee, consist
ing of Phil Weber and Ruth Ann
Sheldon, co-chairman, Ray Mur
ray, and Dorothy Jean Bryan, met
with the same lack of cooperation
which the employment conditions
committee found. Although an in
vestigation by the NEBRASKAN
showed many students to be in
favor of the plan to establish co
ops, only two showed up when a
meeting was called to formulate
the plans for such houses.
