saved by each individual house and each of
you, because subscription costs will be de
creased considerably from what they are at
the present time.
WILL THE INCLUSION OF A DAILY
SUBSCRIPTION BE A START OF AN AT
TEMPT TO MAKE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
C0RNHUSKER, AWGWAN AND 6THER
PUBLICATIONS COMPULSORY?
This is impossible because no additional
fees for other publicans will or can be added
without the support ot" the student body. The
university is opposed to putting a heavy load
upon the students; in fact last year 7"i cents for
the Daily was considered as a maximum as
sessment. With this attitude there need be
no fear that this program is Ihe beginning
cif something much more extensive and some
thing the students don't want. The fact that
the Student Council has chosen the Daily
Ncbraskan s Ihe i,no publication worthy of
a universal program at the present time in
dicates that the other would have more dif
ficulty is being included.
I know that money conies hard to most of
us. When we buy something we want to get
Mir money's worth. So you might well ask:
IS 50 CENTS TOO MUCH FOR A DAILY.
PAPER? Well, if you go to a show it costs
you 44 rents and if you include a coke in your
evening's entertainment, the amount is almost
equal to what it will cost you have the Daily
Nebraskan five days a week for weeks.
There is the matter of distribution. If uni
versal subseription is given the nod by you,
the Daily will be available in all main build
ings on the ag and city rampuses. In addition
fraternity, sorority, co-operative bouses, and
all large rooming plaees will have papers
delivered with no additional charge.
If you have any additional questions which
yon would like answered feel free to write
or come in and talk with me, 1 have laid
the cards on the table as only and clearly as
I know how. The matter' now rests with you
when you go to ihe polls next Tuesday
Sincerely,
Paul E. Svoboda,
Editor-in-chief.
"Americana have always paid great deference
to European culture pattern and the more uncrit
ical among us have hold a sense of inferiority. The
average college graduate has had a greater knowl
edge of European culture than his own. The future
will aee a revival of interest In the cultural history
of the United States. Close attention will be paid
to American history, philosophy, literature and lan
guage. There will be a keener interest in American
Institutions, traditions ar.d ideals. The well-balanced
programs of aecondary and higher education in the
United Slates are likely to be characterized by a
minimized emphasis upon European cultural ante
cedents and a greater emphasis upon American
and Oriental culture patterns." Dr. Gordon 6. Wat
kins, dean of the college of letters and science on
the Los Angeles campus of the University of Cali

Dear Editor:
I see by the papers that the real reason for
barb support of the Hare system is to gain a
majority of the Student Council. Yes, this is
the" horrible truth. The barbs have the peculiar
idea that there is no sense in supporting can
didates and a platform unless a chance of win
ning exists. The Barb party wants control
of the Student Council to put into effect its
plans of social, housing, and political reform.
They cannot gain that majority without pas
sage of the Hare system amendment.
Here are Ihe facts. If the Union Party elects
three Council members in this election, they
will have a majority next year, though the
Barbs may elect nineteen. The iniquity of such
a system is obvious. Opposition to the Hare
system springs from, the fact that parties would
be represented on voting strength. H the Barbs
have CO percent of the vote, they gain 60 per
cent of the Council. I realize that this revolu
tionary proposal at a "democratic institution,''
like Nebraska is a shock to all fair-minded and
patriotic students. Yet that is what the "tin
gods" propose.
Now let us see some more facts. It is argued
that each college has its particular interests
and accordingly should be so represented on
the. Council. Yes, each college does have its
particular interests, but the Student Council
deals with housing, labor conditions, social pro
grams, political elections, publication policies
and these are all interests that cut across col
lege lines. The word " interests" has two mean
ings, and so far, opponents of the amendment
have consued the two in their arguments.
Next, it is urged that holdover members are
necessary to experienced student government.
But look at the proposed amendment. There is
to be an election each semester with one-half
the Student Council held over each time. There
certainly is no loss of experience here.
Finally, the proposal gives to ag college
a much iaiir representation. The barbs real
ize that the university in reality is dealing with
two campuses a city campus and an ag cam
puseach with its own programs and func
tions. Under the present system, ag college
gels one member to eleven frpni the city. Under
the Hare system they will receive one to four.
We ''sheep'' are at last "looking beyond the
ends of our noses.'' We are "ferreting out Ihe
real issues." And we are fighting for ihe
Hare system.

Dear Mr. President and Council Members:
Here at ihe Cuivcis'ity of California we are
faced with the problem of the evacuation of
many Japanese sludeuls. We of the student
Kculivc Committee have known many of these
people personally, in clubs, sports, and other
student a-1 ivities. Most of them have been
born and brought up here and, in addition 1o
being hard-working and intelligent, are just as
layol Americans as the rest of us.
Some of these students may come 1o your
campus. We would appreciate it greatly if you
would aid them in exery way possible.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph Fisher,
Associated Students of University of Cali
fornia, President.

feature material, syndicated malerial, which
must be purchased ami which we cannot gel
at the present lime because of the lack of
money.
Thus the poibt that 1 wish to make is clear.
Tn order to continue to publish, we must
maintain our advertising. In order to main
tain our advertising, we must increase our
circulation. The oidy way to increase our
t irculation .sufficiently is to adopt a plan ef
of universal subscription. Therefore in order
to continue to publish the Daily Nebraska,
we must adopt a plan of universal subscrip
tion. These are the reasons that I would like 1o
f ampus.

As long as the N Club has decided to name the "Queen of
Queens" and since we have long ago given up all hopes for
joining Nebraska's royalty, we have a nomination lor the honor.
Jim Still well.
Jim St ill well is a DU, but his beauty was not recognized
on the campus until 1 bis year's Kosmet Klub show, and he was
placed on the pony chorus. What a placement 1 What a man!
What a woman !
In his dancing costume, padding, make-up, and wig, Jim
Stillwell is the kind of a girl that makes fellows whistle. His
legs are good; his body is trim; his face is cute. And what per
sonality! Just because he had not been discovered in time for the
Nebraska Sweetheart, Typical Nebraska Coed, Beauty Queen,
Drake Belays Queen, Prom Queen, Inter-fraternity Sweetheart,
Inter-fraternity pledge Sweetheart and all of the oilier elec
tions, should not disqualify Jim Stillwell from the "Queen of
Queens" title.
' Credit should go where it is deserved. And Jim S1 ill well
deserves the title.
If you don't think so. get a ticket close to the stage for
the Kosmet Klub show and watch him in action. The boy's
got IT.

A tiny pin-hole in a telephone cable can admit
moisture, causing ehort circuits and service inter
ruptions. But Bell SyMem men Lave found a way of
beating tbia trouble to the punch.
Tliey charge the cable with dry nitrogen under
pressure. Then should a leak develop, the escaping
gag keeps moisture out. Instruments on the cable
detect the drop in pressure . . . sound an alarm at a
nearby station... indicate the approximate location
of the break. A repair crew is quickly on its way.
To maintain and improve America's all-important
telephone fccrvicc, men of the Bell System are con
stantly searching for the better way. Pioucering
minds find real opportunity in telephone work.
