Black and White Elected to M.S.C. In Heavy Balloting
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Freshman men put their Men's Student Council choices down in Black and White at the polls yesterday.
Art Black, Pachacamac, c'43, and Bob White, P.S.G.L. c'43.
won seats on the M.S.C. in one of the largest freshman votes in recent years. Both went in on $ ^{9} $
the second count of the 401 votes cast
Lemo Maiden, c'43, P.S.G.L. presidential home freshman president honors for his party. His margin of 48 votes over Ralph Sheneman, c'43, Pacachamac hope for head freshman, was one of the largest ever recorded in "dinky cap" elections. The vote was 232 to 184.
P. S.G.L. captured the treasurer's also, in the person of Gloe Smith' c43. Smith had 229 votes to 191 for Hilmer, c43. Pachuacana candidate
It was fifty-fifty between the parties for freshman dress managers' posts. Freshmen chose Howard Sella, Lily Lee, L.L. Moore and Pashberger in the two positions.
Howell Hill, c. 43, who ran for the Council independent, polled more votes than predictions credited to him. When the first count failed to produce a successful candidate, it was Hill, Black, and White who survived for the second count. Hill lost out when second choice votes from the two lowest men went to Black and White.
It was strictly P.S.L.'s day. The League captured four of the positions to Pachacamaca's two successes. By awarding one M.S.C. post to each party, freshmen did not disturb the P.S.L. majority in the Council. Relative Council voting strength is just as it was before. Previously each party voted 10 strong in the M.S.C. leaving C. H. Mullen, I42, P.S.L. to cast the deciding vote in favor of his party. New Mullen is still in the pivot position and will have to break an 11 to 13 deadlock between the opposing parties in the Council.
Election Quiet Broken by Joe, c'40, c'42, c'43
It was a peaceful day yesterday as freshman male students of the University cast their votes in the election for freshman council representatives.
A squawk was raised while Brown stood patiently in line.
At least it was peaceful until Joe Brown walked down and asked for a ballot. Election officials wearily opened the student directory to page 45, thumped down thirty-seven names and started to put a red penial mark through "Brown, Joseph Sessford," when they found, "So.C. 103 South Main, Washington, West 10th."
"Hey, you ain't a freshman" rose the words from the lad with red penil. "You're marked a sophomore here."
Simultaneously from the lad at the other end of the table were the words, "You're marked a senior head." Heaps bumped together for another look and line 39, page 45 of the student directory showed "Brown, Joseph Seaford, Sr.C., 103 S. Main, Washinton, West 10th."
As the debate continued on the relative merits of the accuracy of the student directory and the honesty of Brown, Brown pulled out a slip of paper, made out by an official on the floor. The opponent he was a freshman and thus able to vote in the election. Brown voted.

Rising Sun's Man--whether this trail had been picked up from questioning of the many persons taken into custody in lightning roundups was not disclosed. The roundup was accompanied by threats of a purge "riddling the Reich at a single blow of the criminals in the service of foreign countries who hoped to kill the Fuehrer."
Art Black, c'13, Pachacane, who adds one vote to the M.S.C. for the Rising Sun. Because the second representative chosen was white, he disqualified. Black's vote still will not disturb the balance in the Council.
A P.S.G.L. Vote--whether this trail had been picked up from questioning of the many persons taken into custody in lightning roundups was not disclosed. The roundup was accompanied by threats of a purge "riddling the Reich at a single blow of the criminals in the service of foreign countries who hoped to kill the Fuehrer."
Bob White, c'43, elected on the P.S.G.L. ticket, who will represent the freshmen on the Men's basketball team in swimming with Black, the Pacchaucan.

Germans Trail Beer Bombing To Great Britain
Berlin, Nov. 9. — (UP) — Heinrich Himmler, chief of the Nazi gestapo, announced tonight that the trail of the Munich beer hall bombing in which Chancellor Adolf Hitler escaped assassination "only by a miracle," leads to "a foreign country."
- Offer $36,000 Reward For Solution to Problem; Lay Blow for 'Rotten Act On Chamberlain
Himmel's announcement, in the midst of a nationwide roundup of suspects and threats of a far-reaching purge, did not designate the foreign country but Nazis were confident he referred to Great Britain.
The reward for solution of the bombing, which killed seven persons beneath crashing debris of the beer cellar and injured 63 others, was $17 million. IT was one of the largest offered for any crime Reward Foreign Solution
In addition to the $240,000 posted previously, Himmler announced that the German government would pay 300,000 Reichsmarks ($120,000) in foreign exchange to any abroad able to provide a solution.
"Reich leader and chief of German police Himmler announces that the trail of the perpetrators of the Munich explosion leads to a foreign country," tonight's statement said.
Two Are Critical
Of the 63 injured, 28 remained in Munich hospitals tonight, and the official German news agency said the death toll of the blast might be increased to nine because two are in critical condition. More than 30 of the wounded have returned to their homes.
High Nazi quarters said a "considerable number of persons" appeared to have been involved in the plot since the preparations would have been too complicated for a lone worker.
"The culprits and everyone connected with them will be exterminated," the newspaper Nachtausgabe said.
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberland was accused by press and radio of having had "an interest in this rotten act" and to have "found the creatures who carried out this crime."
Several hundred persons were arrested for questioning in Munich, where the investigation centered. A leading from the city were blocked.

Law of Averages And Miller Only Jayhawker Hopes
By Jay Simon, c'40
There are three ways to figure who will win the 7 football game that will be played in Lincoln, Neb., tomorrow afternoon between the University of Kansas and the University of Nebraska.
(1) Law of averages
(1) Using the law of average method, Kansas should win. They should win because they haven't won in 23 years. It is time they did.
(2) Force of habit.
(3) Abilities of teams.

Two to One For Huskers
Figuring on abilities of the teams, Nebraska should win. They have the best team and have proved it.
Nebraska has two chances on three to win the game. Maybe they have more than that. Who knows? I don't.

last year’s “green sophas,” were unabewalded until Paul Christman and his Missouri air circuit pinned their ears back last Saturday. The Huskers had defeated Minnesota, Baylor, Iowa State, and Kansas in the Missouri massacre Nebraska was ranked in the first 10 teams of the country.
The Jayhawkers will have a tough time trying to handle the Huskers. Kansas is out-manpowered badly. The team has only been able to beat two teams—Iowa State and Colorado State. The Jones boys will be smarting from their only defeat and eager to regain some lost prestige.
Miller Chief Hope
Kansas's chief hope lies in Ralph Miller's ability to see more than a
little bit of service
and have a hot afternoon on pass completions. Paul Christman dealt Nebraska physics with his passes, and Milter is as good a pitcher as the Missouri markman.
The Huskers are DENNEL GIBBS
familiar with most of the fine Kansas
backs, but three able ball luggers

be used in the NCAA tournaments
monophores Jake Fry, Denzel Gibbs,
and Marvin Vandevange.
Fry, a brilliant broken field runner, made his best run of the season
against Iowa State when he raced 43 yards around the Cyclone wingman for a touchdown. He scored another T.D. last week when he took Ralph Miller's long pass for the only tally against K-State.
Nebraksa's ace so far this season has been Herman Rohrig, squint 200-pounder who reminds one of a shot putter and sprinter combined. This back has been coached to touchdowns, and the starters have been the starter in the Husker line-up, but doesn't have to sit around long before he is rushed into the milling.
Mitchell Will Sneak At Forum
Prof. U. G. Mitchell, of the department of mathematics will be the guest speaker at the forum meeting on Saturday at Christian Church at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
