Cadets Choose . . .
Campus comment yesterday morning over
the surprise election of an honorary colonel
was interesting and enlightening for members
ctf; the University of Nebraska cjidet corps.
The student oficers overthrew the old tradition
of ' electing this woman at an all-campus elec
tion, and instead, made her the official choice
of the brigade itself. "
Since the new honorary colonel will have
many added duties connected with her job
this year, it was very proper that she should
be officially elected by the officers. Every
officer had a chance to nominate any girl he
thought would be representative of the entire
campus. Following the nominations, every
cadet then cast a ballot for those nominated.
This new innovation in electing the honor
ary colonel is but one of few of the new plans
or the organization of the university brigade
this year. Each cadet officer has been placed
in a position of responsibility in which he
must produce results from the men under his
command.
This new responsibility is being carried out
in a creditable manner according to military
instructors. They have every confidence that
the cadet officers will be able to produce a
brigade on this campus which will be one of
the finest that has ever been trained here.
The ROTC cadets on this campus ? be
ing trained under war conditions and they
are being trained more thoroly than ever be
fore so that when they Irave here they will
be prepared to assume the responsibilities
which will confront them.
General campus support in carrying out
these new innovations is necessary, however,
and must be given to the brigade as a whole
when it undertakes any activities. .All who
are able should turn out for the second parade
next Tuesday and show that the campus is
interested in all military affairs.
'S MATTER?

Well, it sure has been a long time since I
last got to see all of you and write my daily
meanderings around this here campus but,
well, to tell you the truth . . . I've been sick.
It sure is great to be back here at school again
and getting to go to class. 1 sure did miss
my school teachers here because they are sure
nice to me. They told me yesterday when I
got back that they were sure I wouldn't pass
any of my courses this year, but I could take
them over again afid 1 sure thought that was
swell of them.
Well, a lot has sure happened since I was
away. At least Callie has sure told me a lot
that has been happening to everybody here
on the campus. I was sure mad when 1 missed
that military meeting the other night because
I was going to elect Callie to that position of
"ornery major," but some other babe who has
got a last name like Sly or Fox or something
like that beat Callie and a bunch of other
babes out of it. Roy, 1 sure am sorry 1 was
sick because 1 bet 1 could have got Callie
elected.
1 guess some babes who are sort of like
the Hamelletic council in a sub rosa way are
now meeting to decide on (liferent stuff they
want on the campus from their different sister
hoods. Anyhow, Callie says it is a sewing
circle and they meet and knit stuff together
and stick each other with needles and stuff
and have swell meetings together. These
babes are wanting the different sisterhoods
to knit bundles for Britain and stuff like that,
I guess. They sure must have swell meetings,
too, and I guess they serve lunch of arsenic or
whatever that swell drink is.
Callie talked to one of her sisters who goes
to stoodent council, which is another one of
them groups on this campus who meet to
council and council. Well, that last meeting
they had I guess it was sure a swell meeting.
They just about had a big fight in there be
tween two guys who arc from the N. Z. A. and
who can't decide which is the one who tells
the council what the N. Z. A. wants on this
campus. Those guys are sure good friends of
mine and I hate to sec them split up on ac
count of because we got to have all the power
we can get in the N. Z. A. come election time
on account of because I am on the big fight
committee and while I was sick I whittled lots
of clubs and stuff we could use to beat who
ever we are going to beat.
Well, it was sure funny in the stoodent
council meeting too, I guess, because the guy
who is supposed to be the big shot of it had
his voice lost and nobody could find it, so
some other guy who thinks he is assistant big
shot and general manager of taking care of all
odd jobs took over the meeting. I guess his
name is "Who-What." That sure is a funny
name, but I guess that just about describes
him on account of because so very few people
here know him. He is another one of those
"Puritans" who has got a lot of time on his
hands this year until some of the guys go and
lose their voices and can't find them.

working in a sorority house at De

spinal meningitis scare was quar

days.
In his travels Rhodes has suf
fered 27 broken bones, five hernias,
five permanently disabled joints,

skull fractured five times in sev

Aged Grandmother.
According to his tales, Rhodes
has been abroad five times and is
fond of Greece, Turkey and the
Phillipines. He says that he has a
raspberry farm in Champaigne,
Illinois, where he hopes to retire
and live to be as old as his grand
mother. She died at the age of 106
but her death was hurried along
by the fact that she smoked a pipe,
"Dusty" says.
He has signed a pact with stu
dents of Kenyon college at Gam

agreed to bury him at the college
and erect a monument in his honor.
He was once a professional boxer
but is rather quiet concerning that
portion of his career. He has been
working in the East for some time
prior to this year but now plans to
work in the West for the next nine
years.
This traveller-sage has been fea
tured in full page supplements in
papers in St. Louis, New Orleans,
San Francisco, Denver and Chi

hundreds of college papers.
First nighters will discover an
apartment room setting with four
doors opening into two bedrooms,
the hall and the bathroom. Mem
bers of Joe Zimmerman's stage
craft classes are building the en
tire set and, altho door construc
tion was getting to be a night
mare, they are turning out a good
looking apartment room, in which
the cast will stage their play.
Equal Numbers.
The apartment accommodates
three young men and three young
women, all of whom are anxious
to get in a new play, scheduled
to be cast soon, and who are shar
ing the same apartment due to
financial difficulties. They prac
tice the play diligently, hoping
that the Broadway producer living
in the apartment below might bo
lured upstairs to witness their
performance.

fraternity or organized house on
the campus nominate one candi
date 'for "eligible bachelor" to bo
presented at the annual Black
Masque ball. The Nebraska Inde
pendent Association will also nom
inate two.
Requirements which are rigid
are that each candidate for the
honor must be carrying at least
12 hours this semester and must
have 24 hours credit during the
two semesters previous. That takes
care of university requirements
but the Mortar Boards have stipu
lated that the candidates must be
alive, neither engaged, pinned nor
going steady.
The six lucky bachelors will be
crowned at the ball which follows
the military ball.
Any petitions or amendments to
be voted on at this election must
be turned in with the valid signa
tures of 100 students by Tuesday,
according to Dick Harnsberger,
council president in charge of all
student elections.
A senior member of publica
tions board will be chosen at this
election to replace Bob Shoemaker,
now in the army.
