What is Typical

Tlie solution Tuesday of a Typical Ne

women other than that of singling one particu

coed at the University of Nebraska.
Each girl who enters the university at
tempts to answer this question in her own way.

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

this veneer of society into the field of moral

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

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.
So come on you've read Cone With the
Wind and Gunther's Inside Asia, let some sol
dier, sailor or marine get the enjoyment you
did.

"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

It is as timely today as it would
have been two thousand years ago

For years, telephone cable has been hung by etiff wire rings
from its supporting strand. But repeated expansion and con
traction caused by temperature changes some times proved
too much for even the best cable sheath. Fatigue cracks
developed near the poles this meant leaks possible ser
rice interruptions expensive repairs.
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.
