into their own on the Nebraska campus! Male beauty, as such, is for
the first time this year to be recognized as competitive material.
Eight of the campus most representative BMOC's will be chosen

chairman.
Letters already have been sent to all men's organized houses,
asking that names of one candidate from each house be submitted
for the election. Any organized men's group not contacted may sub
mit a candidate if they wish, Miss Demel emphasized. All names and
a snapshot or portrait of each candidate must be placed in the Mor
tar Board box in the Union basement by 5 p. m. Friday, Nov. 22.

A public election, in which only women will be permitted to vote,
has been scheduled after the Thanksgiving holiday. Coeds will choose
eight men from the slate, to be crowned at the ball.

tion at the ball Dec. 13, when Sonny Dunham will play appropriate

Maryla Jonas,

Maryla Jonas, the Polish pian
ist, who performs here Wednes
day on the Lincoln Symphony se
ries, made a Carnegie Hall New
York debut just nine months ago
which was so sensational that New
York critics and national news
magazines have thrown superla
tives at her feet (or rather, at
her fingers!)
If there is anything that the
American public takes to its heart,
it is, the Cinderella story of a
young girl whose ability gets her
to the top despite all odds. Such
is the story of Maryla Jonas.
Bucking her father's prejudice
against a piano career, nine-year-old
Maryla was heard by Pader-
ewski when she made her debut
with the Warsaw Philharmonic.
The Polish' premier and pianist
gave her lessons, promising her
that in five or six years she might
at least "turn out to be mediocre."
Instead, in 1932 and 1933, she won
the International Chopin Prize
and the Beethoven Prize of Vi
enna, and was receiving wide
spread attention in Europe.

had heard her play let her out,

of Europe if she could reach the
Brazilian embassy in Berlin.

drawn enough experience from
observing the failure of the
League of Nations to give inval

of a new world peace organiza

rights of small nations, like his
Australian contemporary, Herbert

But the worst was yet to come.
She received word that her hus

did not touch a piano for months.
Only a trick by her friend, pianist
Artur Rubinstein, who was visit
