War Council Plans
Jork Pistribuiom
. . . Thru Manpower Group
Newest plan of the Student War
Council is the organizing of its
own Manpower Commission to
handle volunteer work for campus
war activities of all types. This
commission will be composed of a
representative leader from all or
ganized houses, dormitories, co
ops, and any other interested
groups whose duty wil be to sup
ply the workers needed from his
house for the volunteer work of
the moment.
Student chairmen of the various
war activities will gather the num
ber of workers she will require
from various houses, apportioning
the workers so that no one organ
ization is called upon for more
than its share of work.
The principal duty of the rep
resentatives in the Manpower
Commission will be to organize
his house for the program and to
find workers when his house is
called upon for aid.
Names of Manpower Leaders
must be at the Union office by
noon today. All leaders from worn
en's organizations are asked to at
tend a meeting at 5:30 Thursday
in Ellen Smith to discuss Surgical
Dressings. The requirements of
workers for that work, the sched
ule, and the quota of each house
will be outlined by Catherine
Wells.

Ex-Governor
Landon Sees Kansas Scrap
Win, Ponders Grid Outcome
In the breathing spell between
halves of Saturday's game the
Daily's roving reporter caught a
few words with Former-Governor
Alfred M. Landon, of Kansas.
"I think Kansas will win that
scrap bet over Nebraska, but I'm
not so sure about the annual Nebraska-Kansas
scrap!" replied the
'genial Kansan when queried as to
the outcome of the present compe
tiiton between the two states.
When questioned as to whether
he could give the same reply after
... At Indiana Game
seeing the numerous scrap piles on
the campus, Landon stuck to his
former statement, but also ex
pressed his amazement at the uni
versity s success in the scrap
drive.
'It displays fine energy, patriot
ism and hard work on the part of
the students," he stated heartily.
Governor Landon visited the Phi
Gamma Delta fraternity, of which
he is a member, yesterday morn
ing, and viewed the Homecoming
decorations.

Barb Leaders Start Question
Mark Year with New Program
BY MARJORIE MAY.

The barbs are a bunch of rookies this year.
In almost all phases of the NIA'S program
new leaders are taking over, but, like the St.
l)uis Cardinals, they may come through with
a successful year if
As always there's a lot of ifs connected with
barb activities. To enumerate this year's ques
tion marks:
1. How will the present well-planned district
system continue to work?
Awake or Not?
2. Will the at times indifferent, but not
dead, interest of unaffiliated students in ac
tivities rise to an enthusiastic height, as it did
two years agot Or will lack of interest pre
vent barb leaders from carrying out their
ideas, no matter how well organized the pro
gram! Last year was an example of this
inertia.
3. Are the initial efforts of the new leaders I
only a start as to what will come, or will their
hard work dwindle into nothing?
4. And, perhaps most important, will politics
outshine social activities again, making the
entire interest in MA work depend on the two
yearly elections, which at best can concern
only a few of the 3.000 or 4,000 barb students?
All of these questions hinge on three things:
the NIA organization itself, the leaders, and
the general mass of barbs.
Organized last spring to do away with sev
eral independent barb institutions, the Barb
Council, Barb Union, and BAIiW, the Ne
braska Independent Association was the brain
child of William V. R. "Bill" Dafoe, barb
boss last year who is, at least temporarily, con
centrating on law school and letting the NIA
go its own way.
: Use District System.
The NIA organization is based on the dis
trict system. The university campus and Lin
coin residential system are divided into four
districts, from each of which students elect one

She musta had a big night Fri
