Tlieatcr Director Fort Worth
Williams announced that the next
year's performances will be
Maned on the iourth floor of the
Mueller Carillon Bell Tower.
Grinning broadly, Dr? Williams
commented, "We arc just jumping
with joy here at the Temple."
He then outlined next year's
plans. "Next year," he stated, "we
plan to stage just dozens and doz
ens of all sorts of pretty plays.
Dozens of telegrams and cables
are pouring in, congratulating us
on our fine fortune."
When asked about specific
plays. Dr. Williams babbled, "Oh,
you just don't know how lucky we
are. For our special guest star
we've imported Lassie to star in
"Petri fiei Forest."
Dr. Williams was dubious as to
the future use of the present Tcm
p'e auditoiium. He stated, "Now
that we have our nice, brand-new
auditorium, I just don't care about
that old smelly Temple anymore.
Rumor has it that all -swine-jurlging
will take place there."

'Daily Ledger' Inaugurates New
Campus Service, Exam Stealing
By Rod Riggs.
The Daily Ledger, in keeping with
its policy of promoting the welfare
of the students of the University,
is inaugurating a new service for
the student body.
In bringing you this service, the
Daily has spent much time and
money, and risked life and limb of
one of our reporters.
As far as we know, this service
is not ottered by any other col
lege newspaper in the country.
This is the scoop:
Dr. Arndt is giving a test! In

mend that no University of Ne
braska male be allowed to date the
same girl more than five times in

4. This party condemns the use
of crib notes and other forms of
cheating, in examinations now
prevalent on this campus. To cir
cumvent this unfortunate practice,
we support a policy of open boofc
examinations.
5. ' THE "ALL-UNIVERSITY
Temperance Union frowns on cer
tain co-educational practices in
the Student Union lounge, and
urge the adoption of a policy of
providing one chaperone with
each davenport.
6. We condemn the public dis
play, 'of affection on the steps of
the girls' dorm and recommend
that individual booths be con
structed thereon.
7. We support the current pub
lication known as "Cornshucks"
and its outstanding contributions
to higher moral attitudes among
University coeds.

Swindler Named
In Paternity Suit
Sorry, story misplaced.
Out, Schirmer!
Funny Is What
You Aren't, Boy
Jack Schirmer was ousted today
from his post as editor of the
monthly Corn Shucks, "humor"
magazine. This announcement
came in a late bulletin from the
office of the kingfish of campus
nublications. Dr. W. F. Swindler.
This action was justified by Ed
Grumble, senior board member,
who remarked, 'During one of my
many many visits to the publica
tions nether regions, I discovered
that Schirmer has been falling
down on the job. As you know.
the last issue of the Corn Shucks
was three weeks late. Investiga
ting this condition, I found that he
has been spending his time re
arranging the r-ew office furniture
pasting covers on the walls, and
even had guts (using the ver
nacular) to spend an entire week
in bed, doing nothing but reading
H. Allen Smith for ideas."
ROG RITTER, sophomore board
member, decided that there would
be no need for re-filling the edi
tor's post.
I have met with Ed Grumble
and convinced him that we should
appoint my fraternity brother,
Thorn Elomgren as head of the
magazine. This action is very sen-i
sible, since Thorn has really done
all the work on all of the issues

most effective methods by which
the Federal reserve system can
control the volume of credit avail
able at commercial banks.
2. "What objectives did the

these purposes?
3. "Describe and appraise spe

States might attempt to stabilize
the level of prices.
4. "What are considered to be
the advantages of the pre-1914

the United States? Support your
views."

Regents Say
Thompson i
Must Resign
The Greek fraction of the Uni
versity of Nebraska has lost its
champion!
The University Board of Re-
I gents Friday asked for the resig
nation of Dr. T. J .Thompson,
University Dean of Student Af
fairs.
The press release by the Re
gents said in part:
"We feel that Dean Thompson
is biased in part of the fraction of
the Greek organizations. He has
not supported the independent
students in the manner that he
should, but instead has swung all
his power behind the fraction,
thus enabling them to run the
campus. He has allowed the stu
dent members of fraternities and
sororities to pile up excessive cuts
from class, to go through school
with low grades, and to park their
automobiles wherever they choose;
and at the same time has ex
pelled independent students for
the same reason."
The Board Friday asked Dean
Thompson to 'either mend his
ways or get out." It is understood
that Thompson's reply was, in
part, "I am very sorry, but I can
not see my way clear to anything
but resign. The fraction will just
have to struggle along without
me."
for 'briefing' before the election.
"Fraction has arranged Dn after
noon tea for all candidates, with
unafiliated students in the re
ceiving line. This will make it
possible for interested voters to
really know the people they are
considering for office. It is as
sumed that the affiliated students
are known; hence a tea is not felt
necessary for them."
The present Guilties and Motor
Boats will be present at the poll
ing places to explain their offices
and the qualifications necessary
for a successful year.

spokeswoman, said that she be
