Introducing Biff to the new
freshman class at convocation
yesterday morning was more fun
than anything except beating Min
nesota. I wonder how it feels to
be lined up for the opening kick
off instead of playing my last
quarter of the college game. You
freshmen had better take advant
age of the next four years be
cause they tell me that the big,
bad world is waiting just around
the corner.
Bob Wadhams, busy man about
the campus, and business manager
of this sheet, has all his friends
and creditors helping him paint
the basement of U hall, at least
that part which his staff inhabits,
a. pretty blue and blue. He has
accused mc publicly of wearing
loud neckties but when he faints
his office with the Kappa colors
when his Interests are definitely
centered a block or two down the
street at the Pi Phi house, I think
he is missing a chance to do Hilse
beck one better and at this point
it looks as though he will have
to hustle.
Campus romances blossom and
died but true love goes on for
ever. Witness: Jim Stuart and
Helen Catherine Davis, Duke Dc

seem to have found the right com
binations, so take heart you
heartbreakcrs and heartbroken.

10-Year Career
Story of the colorful Oriental
Career of a Nebraska graduate
came to light today, following the
evacuation of American embassy
officials at Nanking to the U. S. S.
"Luzon," as Japanese war planes
bombed the Chinese capital city.
Among the men forced to leave
Nanking, was John Allison, '27,
third secretary of the embasr.y,
and son of Mr. and Mrs. O. J.
Allison, 3303 M Street, Lincoln. No
word has been received from him
for two weeks, Allison's parents
said late yesterday.
In Orient Since '27.
Aljison has been In China and
Japan ever since his graduation in
1927, with the exception of a few
brief visits home. Within a month
of commencement he went to
Japan as an English teacher in the
Nipponese high schools. He was
later transferred to the Imperial
Naval School, and from tlieie en-

STATE GROUP ON USE
OF
John C. Page to Give
Principle Speech at
Meeting.
John C. Page, graduate of the
University of Nebraska in 1908
and recently appointed commis
sioner of the bureau of reclamation
by President Roosevelt, Is sched
uled to be the principal speaker at
the annual meetings of the Ne
braska State Historical society
and the Native Sons and Daugh
ters of Nebraska, to be held in
Lincoln on Friday, Oct. 1.
Speaking at a joint luncheon of
the two societies at the Cornhusker
hotel, Mr. Page will have as his
subject "Nebraska Waters Pres
ent and Future Uses." His appoint
ment by the president last Janu
ary came as a culmination to many
years of study and work on the
problems of the conservation and
use of the meager water supply
of the semiaiid and arid states in
(he union.
Graduated In 1908.
Receiving his degree of bachelor
of science in civil engineering here
in 1908. Mr. Page, a native of
Syracuse, Neb., continued his stu
dies for 18 months at Cornell uni
versity, where he specialized in
hydraulics and civil engineering.
He first entered the employ of the
reclamation service, as it was then
known, in 1909 as a topograhper
in the location of canals in Colo
rado. In 1911 he assisted in the con
struction of the Grand Valley Fed
eral reclamation project near
Grand Junction. Becoming superin
tendent of the project in 1925, Mr.
Page was transferred to the Boul
der Canyon project five years later.
Thruout the period of construc
tion of Boulder dam the greatest
structure ever built by the hureau
and the highest dam in the world,
he served as office engineer, the
chief administrative assistant. The
bureau of reclamation, which Mr.
Page now hoads, operates in 17
western states in that arid and
semiarid region lying west of the
one hundreth meridian and com
prising about one-third of continen
tal United States.
Operates 40 Projects.
For a generation the bureau has
been the chief agency engaged in
the conservation of the water re
sources in what is regarded as the
"arid but potentially productive
west." At the present time, it has
nearly 40 projects in operation and
more than a score in construction.
For ten months prior to his ap
pointment as commissioner of the
bureau of reclamation, Mr. Page
served as acting commissioner,
following the death of the former
head, the late Dr. Elwood Mead.
He was appointed by Secretary of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes as a
member of the water resources
committee of the national re
sources committee, and in the sum
mer of 1936, President Roosevelt
chose him as a member of the
president's great plains drought
area committee.
Sixty Warning
Tags Issued in
Past 24 Hours
On and on it goes; when it will
stop no one knows. This might
be the slogan of all university
drivers on the campus. Sixty more
tags have been given since yester
day according to the campus Cop.
Three students took trips to the
police station and now have the
distinction of having their names
on police records. Two had im
proper license plates, the other
was parked by a fire hydrant. The
majority of the offenders merely
received A'aining, their first and
last one, for another tag will re
sult in a fine.
Students, for the most part, re
ceive their tag;i for parking in the
faculty spaces, not realizinz that
each faculty car has a small en
graved plate on the license per
mitting them to park in the rc-
i served spare. According to the po-
lice some students in previous
lycats have attempted to relieve
faculty mcmbcis of their identifi
cation tags off of the license
plates. However, this year a check
is taken at it regular times by the
campus police to determine if all
license tags HRiee with their rec
ords. TYii:wiiiTi:its

Luckily we don't live in a day
light saving time zone because a
number of us would be an hour
ahead of schedule Sunday if the
clocks were neglected. This time
honored ritual of setting the
clocks back will be performed by
millions of easterners tomorrow
night with the consequent disrup
tion of radio time schedules. Sun
day morning you might get up to
turn on your favorite program and
lo it will not be there because
you'll be up an hour too soon. New
programs will be taking the air
next week and the best way to
find out about them Is to keep this
column tacked on your radio dial.
J. Gunnar Back, KFAB, KFOR
continuity writer, is instructing
a course in script writing, radio
announcing and newscasting.
The course is known as Journal
ism 161 and is offered Thursday
evenings from 7:15 to 9:15.
There is still time for students
to register for the course. Later
in the semester the class will
move to the local radio stations
where practical experience will
be gained by writing drama
scripts. These plays will be
staged by the class before a
microphone, but not for public
consumption, however.
Back is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, where he
edited the student daily and re
ceived two degrees in English be
fore coming to Lincoln. He held
the position of continuity director
at radio station W CTM in Min
neapolis, and before that, was as
sociated with vVIBU, Madison, Wis
consin, as an announcer.
Listeners to the Johnson Fami
ly aired over the Mutual at 4:45
will be interested in knowing
that James Lee Scribner of Nor
folk, Va., takes all of the parts
in the skit. More than twenty
"persons" will become involved
in the story as it progresses.
Jimmy doesn't worry about the
number of characters in the
story as he has practiced 67 dif
ferent voices. Jimmy is a de
scendant of Gen. Robert E, Lee,
the famous confederate com
mander, while his manager,
Charles Meade, is a descendant
of Gen. George Meade who
faced Lee at Gettysburg.
Swing enthusiasts might try
the Embassy club program from
WHB daily at 5:45 and on Sat
urday night the Saturday night
swing club blows it out lightly
over a Columbia network and
KFAB.
A lively morning program is
presented by the Instrumentalists
over KFAB Thursday morning at
9:30.

Frosh Responds
lo Inspiration
of N. U. Pledge
By A Freshie.
As I liste- ' Intently to Col
onel Frankfoir's resonant, com
manding voice rolling out the six
points of the Cornhusker oath, my
heart surged with pride that I
was now one of that company of
Cornhuskers whose roster has in
cluded so many awe inspiring
names. My one regret was that
I could not immediately go out on
the field of battle to do or die for
the Scarlet and the Cream.
My exultation, even in my lowly
status as a red capped frosh, was
in no small part due to having
previously lifted up my voice in
the soul stirring, ligluing song,
"Hail Varsity," and Nebraska's
sacred hymn, "The Cornhusker."
After straining my vocal organs
in response to Bill Tempers wav
ing arms, one small voice in 2,000,
I clearly visualized a great crowd
standing in the stadium to sing
for mc. Wny me? I don t know,
I'm no athlete. Anyway, that's the
way I felt.
"That Means You."
Every speech seemed aimed at
me just as hundreds of other
freshmen probably felt that it was
particularly meant for them. "Loy
alty to the administration, fac
ulty, traditions and purposes of
the university, enunciated Colonel
Frankforter. "That means you,"
I said to myself.
"Develop a well rounded life."
Chancellor Burnett. "Study is the
purpose foi which you are here."
Dean Thompson. "Go out for
activities." "Support your univer
sity." Each one of these senti
ments echoed in the successive
hspeeces was for my benefit. I
was one of them!
I walked against a strong wind
of fraternity for lunch with noble
sentiments flooding my heart. At
the house, I entered to be greeted
by, "Freshman, take these papers
upstairs." Noble sentiment does
not avail against the criticism and
errand sending of the actives.
