What is Typical In UN Coeds Tlie solution Tuesday of a Typical Ne braska Cord presents a problem to university women other than that of singling one particu lar pirl out of 2,000 as most representative coed at the University of Nebraska. Each girl who enters the university at tempts to answer this question in her own way. hy conforming to clothes styles, cosmetic styles, study and recreation habits, most women feel any bounds of conventions beyond these are a matter of individual taste. Hut whether the skirt is above or below the knee so long as it remains within the re gion of decency is quite a superficial and in effectual method of solving the problem of being a typical university woman. Running against the prevalent style conventions may bring looks of amazement and disdain, but be ing "typically Xebraskan" goes far beyond this veneer of society into the field of moral values and standards which have been estab lished "from precedent to precedent." perance in drinking and necking, etc. There's nothing wrong with a little kiss, nor are there any dire consequences from a bottle of beer, but as Rrowning said -in Abt Volger, evil is merely too much of good. Anything can be overdone, f one hasn't the mental or moral ability to know what is "far enough," the only thing to do is leave it alone whatever it may be. It is not "typically Nebraskan" to go out on the hill or tho woods on necking parties. Nor is it "typical" to spend an evening mix ing coke and bourbon or trying to keep the brewing companies on a 24 hour shift. There are some students who do over indulge in al coholic beverages and spend their time in other than wholesome recreation, but these students do not and should not set the pattern for rest of the university women and men. It isn't hard to lay down rules for being "typically Nebraskan," or "typically col legian." flood taste and moderation with an The Student Defense Council has opened another Victory Book drive on the campus this time with a goal of 10,000 volumes. The Coun cil doesn't care what kind of books are con tributed so long as they are in good condition. The last book drive met with lacadasical re sponse by students, but the Defense Council still has hopes. If each student and faculty member of the university took time enough to look through and pick out tAvo books from crowded shelves and cases, the pile of books stacked in the De fense Office would number at least 18,000. Eighteen thousand books will provide a lot of reading for great juunbers of men in the armed forces who are clamoring for reading material of both fictional and factual nature. The drive ends Saturday, March 21, and contributors are asked to bring books to the main lobby of the Union anytime this week. The Defense Council will also send out collec tion committees to the various organized groups on the campus.

Edith Vungblut, president of the Girls' club was chairman of the meeting. Professor Sarka Hrbkova, Miss Kowgill, ami Mrs. Edith Whitfield were the principal speakers. "What are we going to do?" was the theme for the entire program, and voluntary inductment rather than compulsory enlistment into war work was hailed by Nebraska women as the true Nebraska spirit.

Thirteen thouand nurses were wanted by the government. Tbe University of Nebraska's base hospi tal, consisting of 21)9 doctors, 1000 nurses, 152 enlistments for skilled labor, such as masonry, plumbers, mechanics, and a number of ambu lance drivers, were ordered to mobilize March 25, 1918 at Omaha. From there they went to Camp Dodge, Iowa and then were off to France. This base hospital was the only unit in service sent from Nebraska intact and hence bore the name University of Nebraska Base Hospital. eye cocked toward long established conven tions andVustoins will fill the bill as far as being "typical."

Instead of gladiators, there will be pingpong players and other modern sport participants in tbe stadium. "Androcles and the Lion" is based on the fable of the Christian martyr, who, when sent to the lion pit, was spared by the lion whom he had befriended years before in the forest by removing a thorn from his foot. There is also the relationship of the oppressed Christian people to the dictatorial powers, which ton trolled the world at that time. This same situation, of course, exists today. Therefore, the combination of the old fable and the ancient oppressed provides a play with a great many implications which fit ir. present day situations. It is as timely today as it would have been two thousand years ago and is enhanced by the writing of the great Irish humorist and play wright, George Bernard Shaw.

Long before the outbreak of the war, Young warned the U. S. to halt all trade with Japan, "for the present trade," as he termed it, "is in war materials only, and if we are not mindful of this sit uation, Japan may turn and use our materials, on our own in terests."

Recently, men of the Bell System developed a machine that lashes the cable and 6trand together in such a way that the concentration of 6traina near the poles is minimized. The Cable Lasher has also proved a great aid in the speedy installation of some of the new cables needed for airfields, camps, bases and war factories. There are many opportunities in the Bell System for men with the urge and the ability to do a job better than it has ever been done before. i r r Collegiate Oddities A
