Cheerful Cherub Bl Begins
Campus Campaign for Health
By Dorothy White
"How joyfully I used to eat
No more such rapture o'er me
steals
Now vitamins and calories
Compose my spare and studied
meals."
So mourns the cheerful cherub
of Rebecca McCann. Maybe the
cheerful cherub has not been eat
ing his wheat germ for vitamin
Bl lately, for between the lines of
this rather depressing rhythmical
expression is shown a lack of pep
and enthusiasm to meet the chal
lenges of the day. With vitamin
full meals the cheerful cherub
would be himself again to regain
that old joy anew the vitamin
way.
So much of the value of vita
mins has been shown by the nu
trition scientists working in this
vitamin field that last year, 1941,
was marked by a gold rush to
vitamins. High officials put mate
rials for synthesizing thiamin or
vitamin Bl on the priorities list.
Yeast plants were educated to pro
duce ten times more Bl.
Cotton batting came into promi
nence as a "chewful" source of
the B vitamins, especially Bl. Au
thorities emphasized the B". defi
ciency as the most prevalent and
Alumni Group
Invests $9,640
In US Bonds
Helping America finance the
war, the university alumni associ
ation announced last week that
$9,640 of its life membership trust
fund had been invested in United
States defense bonds. The an
nouncement was made by Max
Meyer, president of the national
University of Nebraska Alumni
association.
All money coming in from new
alumni life memberships in the fu
ture will be converted into defense
bonds also, he stated. Alumni of
the university have contributed
the money through purchase of life
membership in the alumni associ
ation. Under the plan now in op
eration money from all new mem
berships will be invested in bonds.

significant and some went so far
as to write convincingly of the vi
tamin Bl deficiency as the cause
of wars.
Campaign Begins
Here at Nebraska, a center of
much human nutrition research,
a campaign for vitamin Bl ade
quate diets is well on its way.
Union cafeteria patrons have
been introduced to the sunny face
of the "Bl cherub," a symbol de
veloped by Dorothy White and
Rose Marie Kotas, students in nu
trition under Dr. Ruth Leverton,
head of human nutrition research
at the university, to stir student
interest for more vitamin adequate
diets.
Placed next to the menu boards
in the cafeteria, students cannot
miss seeing the attractive posters
in the new Bl series.
With final examinations just
two days away and a promised
second semester of concentrated
work in view, students may well
heed the sayings of the wise and
happy cherub. The cherub knows
that the gloom and depressing
times of the examination period
may be better met with an ade
quate Bl diet.
Research has proved that Bl
adequacy makes the difference
between an alert, pepful student
and a listless, tired student, am
bitionless. Watch for the posters. They
will tell you more of the impor
tance, the sourdes, the "compound
interest" you can get from a Vita
min Bl adequate daily diet. Get
your-free sample of wheat germ
a potent source of Bl, to be
distributed in the Student Union
and ag cafeterias tomorrow.
