Cupids, lace, bows and arrows, romance, spring, perfume in the air. clamour, beauty, love in bloom. The occasion? Val entine's day. This term has a wide variety of meanings. It should mean, at least, it was intended to mean, all of the above, lotions days, dreamy nights, was somewhat sacred and hal-O- lowed. Times, however, have changed. To the children, it means one of the highlights of the year, at which time every youngster ten derly carries a valentine to school, deposits It in an immense box. placed somewhere in the room for that purpose, and eagerly, expect antly, and anxiously awaits the end of the day. when said box will be opened and the valentines dis tributedand woe unto him who . . . i r I school fights, to sec who 'has thel Student Law-Breakers Not Unknown To Campus Cop, But Offenses Center Around Harmless Parking Troubles Spring crime situntion on the campus centers on parking offenses! Officer Kcglcr. campus cup, says that crime activities around the campus were very quiet except for the student park ing difficulties. "Maybe more people are taking their cars out of storage. Maybe more students are getting ears or maybe it's just spring," smiled the campusO policeman His chief problem is that of stu dents parking in faculty row. The campus guardian of peace and order explained that this probably happened, not thru a premeditated criminal intent, but as one last gal lant effort to reach an eight o'clock class on time. The student is warned on the first offense, but is given a tag and told to appear at the police station when he is caught again. On his first appearance at the station, the offender is merely "registered" and warned, but if he finds himself there again, it costs him exactly $5.70. It is needless to say that few offenders appear the second time, according to Officer Regler. When asked about any recent crime activities on the campus, Of ficer Regler tilted back in his chair and grinned amiably, "Sure some body broke into the Daily Nebras kan office last Saturday night." Investigation proved that nothing was disturbed and that he was not alarmed over the occurrence. In his small office in Social Sci ence annex Officer Reglar has kept 10 YEARS OF NEW DEAL Actors Dramatize Events in Governmental Policies Since March, '33. Four news commentators will play prominent parts in the two hour program, "Of the People, By the People, For the People." to be broadcast over the WABC-CBS nationwide hookup Monday, March 4. starting at 1:30 p. m. E. S. T. Boake Carter, H. V. Kaltenborn, Edwin C. Hill and Frederic Wil liam Wile, all of whom manned micronhones at President Roose velt's inaugural, will weave the elaborate radio review ot tne isew Deal's first two years into a uni fied whole with running stories of the' outstanding events' since March 4, 1933. The remarks of the commenta tors will be interspersed between direct reports by members of President Roosevelt's cabinet and other government officials on the problems they have faced since as suming office. All the talks will be welded by use of a unique produc tion technique calling for brief dramatizations of the past two years' important events in each governmental division. A large cast of actors will present these dramatizations in the New York studios of CBS. Musical interludes will be supplied by the service bands. In addition to pick-ups from the offices of cabinet members, Co lumbia plans to make other pick ups from a senate committee room, the house of representatives in ses sion, the supreme court, a battle ship, the working quarters of one of the government's alphabetical units, and the white house. Vice President Gainer and Bvrns have already ac cepted invitations to speak during the program. The approval of Dr. John W.

COMINTATORS - a file of more serious offenders for the last eight years. This file re sembles the more modern "rogues gallery" of today's police station Those, committing more serious of fenses are finger printed and " mugged," their records being kept in the campus police file. "I guess the most interesting case would be this one," said Of ficer Reglar, pointing out the pic ture of a handsome, young fellow. Posing as a university student and using master keys, he gained ad mittance to rooms in Social Sci ence and stole articles which he concealed in a brief case. After several unsuccessful attempts to catch the boy, Officer Reglar rig ged up a buzzer system which con nected the janitor's office to one of the rooms. The offender w'a s caught and given three years at hard labor. The campus policeman said that he received an average of two let ters a month from cranks and anonymous students, but he paid very little attention to them. At present there are two officers on the campus beat, and in general things are very quiet. DISCUSS PLAS FOR CIIASGES f.Y COURSES Engineering Department Considers Changes in Math Groups.
