Selling Cokes
Swish! There goes another
coke!
News travels fast, and so did the
students yesterday wnen me wora
was "newsed" around. There were
more cokes sold yesterday in the
Crib than in the past two weeks all
put together, since there have been
no drinks of that species.
Business boomed for the Crib
and friends renewed acquaintances
and played the juke box, just like
in the "good old days." Meetings
were postponed because no one
could wait for fear the campus
would soon have to revert to the
dark ages again.
So the question of the hour is
Would you like to go over to the
Crib for a coke?"
Well, absence makes the cokes
grow fonder.

TNE Emerges
Again; Paints
Signs on Walk
The battered name of TNE
again appeared on campus this
morning as members of the sub
rosa drinking organization painted
their skull and cross-bones along
fraternity and sorority row for the
first time since last fall.
No signs were painted on uni
versity buildings, and only un
usual action reported was at the
Phi Kappa Psi house where the
insignia was allegedly painted on
the fraternity's fireplace.
Passive activity has character
ized TNE .action in recent years
since the organization painted
signs on university property sev
eral years ago and were forced to
dig deeply in its treasury to n
nance a "cleaning up" job.

Schriver Says 15 Percent
Cheese Fails Standards
It looks as though there are a
lot of cheese manufacturers that
are trying to pull the fleece over
Uncle Sam's face. Walter Shriver
of Chicago, who is one of the chief
cheese inspectors for the midwest
atates, said Tuesday morning be
fore a meeting on ag campus,
"that 15 percent of the cheese of
fered for aale to the government
failed to meet governmental stand
ards. As it was, the government
bought 240 million pounds during
the year."
He pointed out that if rejections
continue on the same scale during
1942, there will be 135 million
pounds of the nation's entire out
put below No. 1 standards.
The inspector pointed out that
producers have a stake in the mat
ter of production of quality cheese,
and gave a number of reasons for
refections, including such things
as acid flavor in the milk, and
over-ripe milk from farms. He
emphasized that faulty sanitation
on the part of the producers often
is one of the reasons for cheese
failing to meet the standards.
Dairy products draw the atten
tion of ag students this afternoon.
Judging will be held in the dairy
husbandry building and will be
open to all students without ex
perience in intercollegiate dairy
products judging contests. About
50 are expected to compete.
Samples of butter, milk and ice
cream will be placed. A trophy will
go to the best judge, and ribbons
to the top five in each of the
classes. A trophy will be awarded
to the best all-around judge of all
dairy products.

at the Student Council meeting

student government."

Huwaldt, Dick Harnsberger, F.an-

(See DEADLINE, Page 4.)
Council members how to vote"
Theil commented after the elec
tion. "I am disappointed."
Big surprise of the meeting was
failure of barb members of the
Council to take any action. After
their battle to fill vacancies last
week, a fight had been anticipated
in the holdover elections, but Bill
Dafoe, barb leader, didn't even
show up until 5:35.
Greeks nominated a barb, Bob
Alberty, but he refused, putting up
the name of Roy Byram, another
unaffiliated student. After the
election, Byram told the Daily Ne
braskan, "I'm glad that I am not
the Quisling they gave us."
First indication that barbs
would not offer opposition in the
holdover election was the silence
after Theil had called for nomina
tions for replacements in the
Council. Several barb posts were

Father Lisko Says Interfaith.
Marriages Are Unsuccessful
"Interfaith marriages are generally un
successful and psychologically had," 6aid
Father Lisko speaking at the fourth lecture in
the current marriage series sponsored by the
YWCA.
Father Lisko is the student father on the
eampus and was speaking on interfaith mar
riages, their problems and general success. The
statement quoted above is the statement of the
conclusion he holds and at which he arrived at
the end of his talk.
There cannot be a happy marriage unless
there is domestic peace and harmony, he said,
and there cannot be harmony in a home made
by two people of diametrically opposed faiths
unless one compromises. A compromise is a
psychologically unsound thing because it
means breaking faith with one's fundamental
beliefs.
Speaking principally about Protestant-
1 Catholic marriages he pointed out the Cath
olic's attitude toward marriage. In doing so
he said that marriage is more than a legal
thing to them, it is an exclusive and permanent
contract.
Marriage Is Not Dissolvable.
It is exclusive in that it allows no infi
delity and it is permanent in that it is not dis
solvable, that is, it allows of no divorce.
Marriage and the rights it brings are to
be used for the purpose of propagating the
race. This is the fundamental purpose of mar
riage as based on Biblical passages.
With the legal contract is a sacrament
which the Catholics adhere to because of the
help derived from Cod. That is why a Cath
olic must be married by a priest, to get the
sacrament and thus receive certain new bene
fits and helps without which he cannot be as
happy and successful in marriage.
A Catholic believes that only through bap
