Strictly Non-Commercial
If "Miss Daily Nebraskan" receives $100 from
Twentieth Century Fox film corporation, it will not be
with the sanction of The Daily Nebraskan.
We appreciate an outside firm's wish to acknowledge
financially the co-ed who wins our title as being selected
the most beautiful freshman coed, but we can not approve
any monetary offers from such epterprise. The Daily
Nebraskan's search for the most beautiful freshman girl
is strictly non-commercial. In no way do we wish to jeo
pardize the dignity or freedom of the University by ac
cepting offers from any outside groups. Furthermore,
The Daily Nebraskan staff would resign enmasse before
it would act in defiance of faculty action.
The Daily Nebraskan fully realizes its limitations and
does not wish to appear obtrusive in matters concern
ing student affairs.
The Faculty's word shall always be supreme in our
office.
Six "most beautiful freshmen
were chosen Monday to be final
ists for "Miss Daily Nebraskan."
The six, chosen by the staff,
are Beverly Deal, Sue Easter

"New Yoik City is our labora
tory" is the slogan of the New
York College summer service
group's work-study project de
signed to give college students
an opportunity to understand
life in America's largest city next
summer. A similar project is be
ing offered in St. Louis.
Sponsored by the rocky moun
tain region student Y. M. C. A.
and Y. W. C. A, the St. Louis
community laboratory is open to
30 college men and women who
will be selected to live and work
for eight weeks in settlement
houses, Y. M. C. A.'s and other
community agencies. The entire
group will meet twice weekly
lor a seminar session under the
leadership of a qualified director
to discuss the community prob
lems that are being observed.
INTERVIEWS WITH CIVIC
leaders and planned field trips
will provide on opportunity to
get underneath the problem of
housing, illiteracy, inadequate
recreation, unemployment, mi
nority groups and delinquency.
From these, 4)udcnts will see
from the inside what is being
done to combat some of the crit
ical social conditions that pre
vail in a metropolitan center.
Students also establish a "com
munity" among themselves to
provide social, recreational and
worship experiences thruout the
eummer.
The St. Louis project offers
complete maintenance for the
Bummer as well as an additional
stipend lor qualified students in
matt casci. Wages earned will
help corner the registration lees
and incidental costs in the New
Yoik program.
AMONG THE LEADERS who
have met with the New York
college summer service group in
recent years and are Harry
Emerson Fosdick, Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Reinhold Niebuhr
and Norman Thomas. Field trips
have been taken to the New
York stock exchange, the Mari
tine Union hiring hall. The
United Nations and a garment
factory.
The group in New York de
scribes its project as an oppor
tunity for students to "become a
part of this city of glorious
achievement, of heartaches, ten
sions, conflicts and of cultural
attainment. By understanding
the social, economic, political
and religious forces in New Y'ork
they see more clearly the prob
lems lacing America and learn
to take their places alongside
those who struggle lor justice."

movie will be shown at 8 p. m.f
Friday, March 11, and Saturday,
March 12, in Love Library Audi
torium. English sub-titles will
promote charity. Admission is 50c.
Sponsored by the campus
YMCA, the film provides "a land
of enchantment on the screen."
The story is a type of fantasy with
a certain amount of seriousness
needed.
The young hero of the tale is
Danilla, a stone-carver who
smashes a vase he has carved be
cause it isn't as perfect as he
had dreamed it would be. He is
lured away from his home and
his bride by the Lady of Copper
Mountain and by his own desire
to see for himself the perfect
stone-flower.
The old men of the village
warn him that men who have
seen the stone-flower seldom re
turn hut he follows the mysteri
ous fantastic mountain-lady any
way.
Whether the movie's superiority
iu color-filming is due to the
secret new process ol color pno
tography which its makers claim
for it, or rather to the wisdom
r.t the director. Alexander Ptush-
ko, is hard to determine. The
film won first prize lor color
filming at the European Cannes
Iritcrnotional Film Festival.

judiciary and constitutions com
mittees. ONE OF THE main obstacles
hindering the solution of the
problem, Schleusener said, is that
it has been "difficult to get con
crete statements as to what would
make the faculty happy."
The administration has thrown
the matter into the lap of the
Student Council, an organization
which has been accused of being
"controlled."
The question was also asked as
to whether the action of open
Dolitical parties would actually
solve the problem. Several stu
dents expressed the opinion inai
working, open political parties
may not be a solution, but that
thev are the only path open to
the Council.
if the Council Dlan is approved,
it was noted, a lessening of the
restrictions imposed upon political
campaigning would be necessary
for its success, in the opinion
of several students, these restric
tions prevent the student interest
necessary for the lile oi political
parties.
