Editor Paul Svoboda Business Manager Ben Novicoff Eleanor'n Me l By Alan Jacobs H Alex, the little man who always wears a black derby and smokes black cigars has become a pest. The other day he set up a eot under the copy desk and announced that be had be come a undereovernian on the Daily Nebraskan staff. Badly in need of an undereovernian since we did not have ne, and every good newspaper, Alex said, has an undercover woman. We permitted him to stay on the provision that he smoke two for a nickel cigars instead of the four for a jit which is five cents kind. He agreed, so now the Daily Nebras kan has an undercoverman. Yesterday, Alex slipped into the office after having done some undercover work. Deriding his neck into the office before entering, pointing his cigar into every corner as if fearing an enemy, he entered the room, made a dash for the copy desk, and dived on to his eot. What's undercover, Alex?" we said. "It's those Mortar Boards," he breathed deeply. "What are they doing undercover," we asked. Alex looked at us disgustedly. "They're not undercover. I'm undercover. They're the object of my attentions." "You mean affections?" we interrupted. "No attentions," he replied quickly. "Those women are worse than the normal run of women ; all they have is secrets, txcept they're always whispering 'em to somebody." "What's wrong with that?" "What's wrong?" He bit into the cigar, his teetch clicking together as a piece of chawed tobacco fell to the floor. He spat, inhaled, tipped his derby and declared ceremoniously. "They never whisper the same thing to any one person." We were silent. Alex obviously wanted to continue unin terrupted. "One minute, they say they're going to mask ten gals on Ivy Day. Then, confidentially, they say only six will be hon ored, and some of them have said 15, 16, 13 and 11 would be masked. Whv do thev talk if thev aren't going to tell? "Why?"" My question didn't strike home as Alex continued, "It won't be less than 10 if it isn't 10. I undercovered that." "What else did you undercover," we asked. "Well," be said. "A couple of gals who were slated for cinch Mortar Boards aren't going to be; in fact, they'll be at tending the Ivy Day Queen." "Thanks" we said. "Who would have thought that a cou ple of disappointed Mortar Boards were to be attendants! How could this paper continue without an undercoverman," we remarked sarcastically as we left the room. "I wonder how," wiuttcred Alex. Teams of Palladian, Farm House Vie In Quiz Finals . . Toddy in Union Finalists in the Brainstormers Quiz, sponsored by the Student Unioc, Farm House and Palladian Literary society, will meet tonight to determine the grand champion student brains in the university. Finals will be held in the Union ballroom at 8 p. m. Representing Farm House will be Bill Burr, Dan Atkinson, and Jim Sallath, while the three Pal ladian Levants are Harold Alexis, Warren Guinan and Dave Martin. Seated on the ballroom stage, the two teams will be asked six rounds of questions. Novelty ques tions include one on identifying musical selections, one on naming exhibited paintings, and one on literature. The remaining three questions will be on the American scene, current events, and defini tions. Quiz master is Buddy Goldstein, who will shoot the questions, while Marjorie May, co-chairman with Goldstein of the Union competitive games committee, will act as time keeper. Judges will be Tom Davis, Pat Lahr and Maxine Cloidt Originally 38 teams made up of 114 students were entered in the quiz. Ag . . . (Continued from Page 1.) is doing it free of charge. Only about one-tenth of the samples submitted thus far have been pure and usable in in dustry for making tapioca and other products. Testirg of the samples is needed rot only to secure supplies of the pure seed immediately for the in dustrial concern but also to be sure that only pure seed is planted this year. Farmers are urged by agron omists to plant acceptable seed of Leoti for their forage sorghum this fear. Agronomists E. F. Frolik and U. L. Cushing said "we are not in position to recommend planting Leoti for grain since we have no informtion on the possible price, but certainly where forage sor ghum is to be grown anyway, Leoti might well be the choice because tests show that it is an excellent variety. By planting pure seed of this variety, the grain will be available for industrial use and may bring the farmer a substantial added income." Boucher (Continued from Page 1.) er, John R.

In the last six years, University of Nebraska students have won four first prizes and one second prize in the district which includes Wyoming, Colo rado, North Dakota, South Da kota and Nebraska.
