Pounds of Waste Paper
About 7,000 students only had
300 pounds of waste paper! That
Nebraska must have an exceed
ingly saving student body was re
vealed by the collections of waste
paper made for the campus defense
project last Saturday by the
YWCA.
Three hundred pounds of what's
in 7,000 student waste paper
baskets means an average of a
little less than pound per per
son. Doodles on the side of his-
. . . In One Week
tory notes alone for a week would
mount to H of a pound.
Designed by the Defense Coun
cil as a means of helping stu
dents to participate in the defense
program without any out and out
expense to student himself, the
drive provides an excellent op
portunity to show your spirit
without hurting your pocketbook.
All that is needed is an interest
and a very little thought.
Each week organized houses are

"Something new has been added"
to the Nebraska defense picture
because the five rousing words
above no longer apply to the men
on campus, but to the coeds, as
decided by the Student Defense
Council in a tradition-breaking
meeting last night.

Similar to those of Nebraska,
home economics women at Iowa
State College began four new
courses this week designed to pre
pare them for meeting war-time
emergency demands required of
professional home economists.
These courses are part of the
home economics division's pro
gram contributing to the victory
effort, according to Miss Gene
vieve Fisher, dean of home eco
nomics at Iowa. New class work
there is in education, foods, tex
tiles and clothing, and economics.
One course required of all edu
cation majors is a resume of con
tributions home economics teach
ers are expected to make in their
own communities, such as school
lunches, canning, sewing and other
home services. A foods course
deals with the use of soybeans,
sirups and sweetening agents, li
quid fats, dried and frozen eggs,
evaporated and dried milk and
methods of canning and storage.
Textiles and clothing work will
deal with the wartime market,
its effects on the consumer, and
how she may solve problems aris
ing from these effects.

Boogie-Woogic Expert Beats
Out Red-hot Rhythm at Union
Everyone within hearing dis
tance has been seen tearing up
three flights of stairs in the Union
to listen to the solid "boogie
woogie" of a piano played by one
Bob Kellogg.
Of course, this can only happen
one hmir each week because this
remarkable swingster works ap
proximately "2 hours each week,
besides carrying 11 hours in music
school. Every spare minute, which
are very few, is devoted to work
ing out new arrangements and
harmonies.
A freshman and a member of
Pioneer Co-op house, Bob says
that he came to the university to
learn to read music. After hearing
him tickle the ivories, one wonders
why he would need any music, but
it seems that it's his ambition to
some day "have my own big-name
band."
Rhythm in His Bones.
Coming from Cedar Rapids, Ne
braska, Bob says he was born
"with rhythm in my bones." and
has ever since been listening to
the radio for new ideas, chords ami
tricky runs. And without any mu
sical instruction he has worked
out a system of playing that has
earned him jobs with such orches
tras around Lincoln at Gay Phics
ton, Dave Haun and several others.
If you really want to hear
"boogie-woogie" in an onginal
rhythmic manner, played by a
very ambitious, young, talented
fellow hang around room 31 fi in
the Union next Thursday at about
3 p. m.
