ivVeHnes'day, May 1'4, 1941' '4 DAILY NEBRASKAN Candy passings were the main concern along so rority row Monday night. The D. U.'s honked their way down to the Delta Gamma house when Ed May and E. J. Petty treated the lads and lassies. Some thought that this might result in a battle with the SAE's but they were too busy taking care of one Dick Spelts who did not come thru with the desired cigars. The dorm had two passings to cause excitement. Both with the ATO's Eileen Caley and Ralph Worden were the other part of the excitement. Betas were in the same predica ment when Theta Hap Macintosh and Dean Miller pulled a quickie. None of the girls had any idea that this was coming. Seems that Dean borrowed Peyton Pratt's new Chevie and they whipped up to Omaha. But when Mr. Pratt saw the happy couple and the car he kept the car. Question, how did they get back, and when? Delts and Tri Delts also caught the candy passing fever which has hit the campus when Mary Rokahr and Dick Boyer passed the cweets and smokes. Marching up lGth the Phi Delts stopped at the Chio house where Mabel Secund and John Hay had taken care of things in a like manner. More romantic news of a less serious nature con cerns the new steadies. Alpha Phi Pat Herminghaus and Jim Critchfield of the Tau house. Since Sunday's little item Dee Gee Lou Malmberg and Johnny MacDermott have definitely de cided to go steady. While Alpha Xi Betty Klingle and John Nicely have also decided to join the ranks of all time daters. We have heard that beauty queen Betty Malone Is secretly wearing the Delt pin of Max Whi'ttaker. Confidentially it seems like a pietty sure thing for they have been going steady un officially for quite awhile. Tipsy triangle in the Phi Gam house between Al pha Xi Twila Perrin, Dean Mutz man, and newly pledged Maurice Dingwall, has every one guessing. She has dated both of the fellows tho for awhile it seemed that "Ding" was head man, but a little bird told me that there is more here than meets the eye. From the above, one can gather that Alfred Lloyd really knew what he was about when he said, "In the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." There are some who find this In reverse tho, for example we learn that Alpha Xi Peg Jones and Bill Anderson have called the whole thing off. Kappa Sigs really had a busy time Monday night what with the tubbing of Jack Clarke which they did in front of A. O. Pi house for Bunny's benefit no doubt, the election of officers, and the pledging of three new tnen. Officers: President, Paul Ma CLASSIFIED . . . 10c Per Liae . .

Poll- (Continued from Page 1.) this state, Martz explained, if the interventionalists insist on mailing in a one sided picture of the fac ulty sentiment on this campus as will be reported by their unilat eral petition. Feeling that Dr. Lugn in laughing at the whole matter has the soundest advice, the NEBRASKAN suggested that neither petition be sent, that let ters to the higher officers of the nation by the NEBRASKAN ex plaining the significance of these polls will not be necessary and that cordial relations between all parties can be maintained. Fear that a German victory would lead to economic isola tion of the United States and more dangerous yet, eventual military penetration by Hitler into this hemisphere were ex pressed on the sides of many interventionist questionnaires as the basis for their stand. Few wanted war and most hoped that peace on our terms could be obtained. But those "wanting aid to Britain not necessarily short of war, said that so mucn is at stake on England's vic tory that we must not be hesi tant in carrying out our af firmed program because of a fear that it might lead to war. Isolationists on the other hand conceded that England's victory was desirable, but in their expres sions of opinion did not think it was essential enough to us to go to war to secure. Still others felt that we should fight only if our neutral rights were violated by the Nazis or if all other policies broke down. Among the larger colleges nn the campus the strongest inter vention sentiment was shown in teachers where 68 percent of the 2S reporting there favored that policy and in engineering where the interventionalists won C6 per cent, the "short of war" group 7.5 percent and the complete isolation- ESPECIALLY FO Y0JI Alum magazine cover features May Qiieen A picture of - May Queen Jean Simmons and her attendants ap pears on the cover of the May Nebraska Alumnus which appeared yesterday.

The biggest gains for the isola tionists on the other hand ap peared in arts and sciences where 44 of the 87 returning their bal lots opposed any action that might lead to hostilities. The college of agriculture went 55 percent for one of the two in terventionalist policies, the college of business administration 53 per cent, the college of pharmacy 66 percent and the college of law 100 percent. Due to the fears voiced by those backing the petitions that the "unscrupulous" members of the NEBRASKAN staff might stuff the ballot box or mignt adjust the results to suit them selves, the ballots were kept sealed as they came in until they were opened and tabulated in the presence of Joyce Ayers, Union director. Ayers was not sent a ballot, Martz explained or asked his opinion on the mat ter at all. His service was as an impartial bystander needed to authenticate the questionnaires results. The choice given the question naire signers were: 1. Do you favor all-out aid to the Allied peoples not necessarily short of war? 2. Do you favor material aid to Britain, short of war? 3. Do you favor an immediate declaration of war by the U. S. against the Axis powers. 4. Do you think the United States has gone too far in her aid to the Allied peoples?

Riddle of Rudolf Hess The strangest and most intrigu ing story of the war is that which surrounds the flight of Rudolf Hess, No. 3 nazi and Hitler con fidant. The nazi leader bailed out of his Messerschmidt fighting plane near Glasgow, Scotland, after fly ing 800 miles thru the night to es cape from Germany, and the pow er of the man to whom he has al ways been so close. He gave himself up to the Brit ish and is now a prisoner of war. Reports from London Wednesday said that he had been removed to a private home where he was be ing questioned by Prime Minister Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. Churchill indicated to the house of commons that a statement would soon be forth coming on one of the most impor tant prisoners of war of all time. The progress of the war on land, sea and air has faded into the background the past 48 hours, and all the world ponders the single question: Why did Rudolf Hess de sert the nazis? The Germans declare that Hess' flight was the work of a madman and point to his recently failing health, and a letter, which he sup posedly left behind, which indi cates that he was suffering from "hallucinations." He has been ex amined by English doctors, how ever, and they pronounce him per fectly sane. Other observers de clare that the daring 800-mile flight could not have been ex ecuted by one not in complete pos session of his senses. Sceptics in London declare that he is a plant, and that the whole episode is nothing but a skillfully concocted nazi plot to mislead the British. Those who favor this view point to the fact of his past rec ord which has been one of com plete and fanatical devotion to der Fuehrer. Still another view is that Hess incurred the displeasure of Hit ler and fled to Britain, the only Ordal v""" ft miLLER 0l8on place In all the world where he could find refuge from his leader's wrath. Finally, there is the opinion that the No. 3 nazi has split with the party and fled to Britain in order to betray the German war ma chine, and give aid to the British. In support of this view, the Mon treal (Canada Herald quoted Otto Strasser to the effect that there was dissension in the German gov ernment and that Goering and the army brasshats were seeking to overthrow the nazi party. Diplomatic circles in Washing ton are reported to be of the opin ion that, whatever the cause of the dramatic flight, it cannot help but react unfavorably upon the average man in the Third reich. Evidence for this is found in the fact that both the British and Ger man versions contain elements that are disquieting to those who are under the nazi machine. The world may know the an swer to the riddle of Rudolf Hess before this gets into print; it may know within a few days; it may never know. Meanwhile, the world public is mystified by one of the most fantastic stories in all his tory.
