Let's Dance . .
With the speed of pestilence it moves through
noisy streets and quiet lanes. 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

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.

Lawyers, Engineers Respect
Each Other, Says Bine Print
"A Lawyer to an Engineer." In
the January issue of the Nebraska
Blue Print, on the newsstands to
morrow, Dean Foster ol law col

engineer- and the lawyer.
Dean Foster points out that
competent engineers and lawyers
respect each other, and have much
in common. Comparing the work
and worth of the two professions,
he says: "The engineer is fortun

During the last two years 24 local
cases have been handled by the
Lancaster county chapter.
While the main source cf funds
for the combatting of infantile pa

balls staged all over the nation,
additional funds are raised locally

wishing wells placed in public and

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.
