It knocks at some doors and passes others. But, moving, it leaves its shadow twisted, helpless bodies that once were straight and strong. It leaves despair and takes, in grim exchange, hope. That is infantile paralysis. . . . On Jan 29 in celebration of the President's Dia mond Jubilee Birthday, America is again enlist ing to stamp out the dreaded disease. There have been a great number of drives for funds to support various relief agencies more than ever before, but the rich and poor, the young and old, have responded with a will which should give every citizen a sense of pride in his neighbor across the country. This new drive must be and will be a success. In Lincoln the annual birthday ball will be held at the coliseum. Practically all the funds from the dance go directly into the work. This year six or chestras are donating their services for the entire evening and after decorating and ticket expenses are paid, the proceeds will be divided in half part going to the Lancaster county chapter for fighting infantile paralysis locally and the remainder will be forwarded to support the Warm Springs Foun dation and Sanitarium. Besides the birthday ball two other methods are being used to solicit funds. March of Dimes cards are being distributed and contributions in this way will bo sent directly to the President. "Wishing Wells" are now placed at various places over the city. There are several of the "Wells" on the uni versity campus and students and faculty members are urged to drop a dime or more to help make some crippled child's wish come true. Mrs. Vema Eoylos, dean of women, has agreed By Marsa Lee Civin. UN freshmen and sophomores meet to discuss means of organizing Nebraska towns to take care of French war orphans The junior class had al ready adopted a French war baby, and the seniors were expected to do so as their gift to the university. The Home Economics department issued an emergency bulletin containing the results of re search work done by members of the faculty and worked out in the student laboratories in regard to substitutes for flour in making bread. Experi menting with about ten different varieties of bread, the faculty called their result "war bread." Substitutes used include: rye and wheat; rye, wheat, and cornmeal; mashed potatoes half and half with wheat; flour, rice, and flour, gingham flour. Members of Delta Gamma raised $150 by sell ing "war dolls" of their own making on the streets of Lincoln. Each doll was a brave soldier boy make of khaki colored yarn, carrying a gun, and bearing a band of red, white, and blue. Ottila F. Schmidt '17 of Tecumseh, Ada Belle Hanna '17 of Lincoln, W. S. Wolfe '18, Kit Carson, Colo.; and Fred R. Mohavec '18 of Crete, left for Blair and Seward to fill positions left vacant by teachers leaving for camp. Over 150 students, alumni, and faculty mem bers were selected in the first general call of re cruits for Fort Snelling. Among the first to go were Professor B. M. Bueh of the department of rhetoric, S. D. Babbittt, rhetoric department in structor, and sergeants Wirth and Sullivan, assis tants in the office of the commandant. Crowds of mothers, sisters, chums, and coeds gathered at the Burlington station to see the men off to Fort Snelling. The continuation of athletics is an important step in military preparedness and one which must not be overlooked or sacrificed," said Dr. E. J. Stewart, director of athletics. "The question of whether or not intercollegiate athletic competition at Nebraska he continued till the end of the war has arisen. It is my opinion that intercollegiate athletics is so correlated with military preparedness that the government should take precaution that no future action is taken by colleges and universi ties eliminating that branch which has proven so valuable in fitting the college young men for the war now before us. Hitching Posts May Take Place of Parking Meters . . Nebraska is Prepared Hitching posts for horses may take the place of car parking me ters in cities if the new automo biles and trucks make it neces sary to go back to horse drawn vehicles. Possibly, it was suggested the other day by Prof. Wm. J. Loeffel, chairman of the animal husbandry department at the agricultural college, the new regulation will work more inconvenience on city dwellers than on farmers. Con solidation of delivery services, es tablishment of milk depots and more carrying of groceries and other articles by the purchaser would result. Increased use of horses for deliveries could be an other result. Although Nebraska's estimated total of 471,000 horses on farms on Jan. 1, 1941, was the smallest since 1887, while the estimated to tal of 53,000 mules on the fame date was the smallest since 1904, yet Nebraska will be able to fur nish much help toward meeting whatever increased there might be in demand for horse power. Some of the leading purebred horse to allow 12 o'clock permission to all women stu dents planning to attend the ball in the coliseum providing their grades are up and they are pre pared for final examinations. Let's dance so later on unfortunate children may be able to dance with us. Paul E. Svoboda. Hitting Stands Tomorrow . . .

Miss Louise Pound of the English department is editor of the nisi, ellany section in which Gent Hradley '43 has written More Jargon of the Amateur Photographer," and Mary Burwell u.)h i in has an item. Susquehanna university trustees are starting a campaign to raise $200,000 to provide an adequate classroom iiuilding and to in crease the university's endowment pnst the half-mlllion-tlollar mark herds in the United States are lo cated in Nebraska. Horse herds have been main tained at the University of Nebras ka and at the sub-stations of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. Prof. Loeffel said. The university now owns about 40 Percherons and Belgians. Effort has been to improve quality of the herds, and many good young ani mals from them now are in pri vately owned herds in the Various parts of the state. Hampering spread in the use of horses at the present time are such problems as scarcity of second hand harness which farmers or city concerns may purchase. In some farm communities, there are also a few cultivators, rakes, plows and other implements which are of the horse-drawn type. Restrictions on use of fuel for tractors and cars also could en courage the use of drawn machines and conveyances. Still another factor that might develop is low ered speed limits in the interests of conservation of rubber, use of trucks would have less advantage from the standpoint of doing the required work rapidly. Studying, Washing Dishes, Planning Meals-Oh, Hum! . . . But It's Fun nt Love Co-op They do their own cleaning, meal planning, cooking besides the regular studying and playing around. And yet they have it so well organized that it takes only two hours a day to perform the duties of the average housewife. As Mary McDermand, junior transfer from Doane college, says "It's really fun to learn to work together, and it doesn't take much time now that we've gotten on to the plans. Mary is one of the 48 coeds liv ing in Love Memorial Co-operative Residence Hall at ag campus. Designed to provide attractive and inexpensive surroundings for women in the home economics de partment, the hall is conducted on a co-operative system with resi dents chosen on a basis of schol arship and need. Practical experience, to say the least, is one of the features of this hall. The women are divided into units of six and eight, each act ing as cook, housekeeper and maid. Every two weeks they ro tate their jobs. The daily routine involves such duties as: cleaning the hall, planning for balanced meals, which must be okeyed by Thelma McMillan, graduate home ec student, buying the food, cook ing, and washing the dishes! There are also laundry, ironing, and sewing facilities. One of their most abided by and commendable mottoes is "We never criticize the food." Love Memorial Hall Is one of the newest additions to the col lege's building program. It was made possible by the late Don Love, former Lincoln mayor, whose gift of $40,000 went into the construction. Although the residence provides economical living quarters for uni versity women, it is most attrac tively furnished and decorated. Each unit has a small kitchen of modern design and a dining room. The bedrooms provide a gay at mosphere with maple furniture and bright draperies. The spacious recreation room is one of the fa vorite parts of the hall, and is done in rustic knotty pine. House director is Mrs. Hallie Bliever-nicht. Finishing touches are being put on a $150,000 plant improvement project at Hamilton college. CLASSIFIED U:T - Ked billfold.
