No perfect peace orsolitude inspired the
advent of another spring on the Nebraska
campus in 3918. On the contrary the husky
voices of officers commanding their companies
in various movements was heard all over the
campus.
Drilling in that year reached a point of
excellence not common to student soldiers of
other years. Every order was perfectly
executed.
The summer session featured three new
courses including telegraphy for women upon
the same order as the government telegraphy
classes which covered the whole field of radio
and telegraph. Prof. P. V. Upson offered a
special class in elementary organic chemistry
since the importance of chemistry in relation
to the war was realized. Prof. li. F. Gaddis
offered a new course in Agronomy 51.
Thirly-five students left during the middle
week of April to go directly into some branch
of the war service or take the place of some
one who had gone to service. This was the
closest large exodus from school to go to the
war since the memorable davs of the 3017
spring when over 1,000 men and women left
before the semester closed. Among those leav
ing in 1918 was one coed, Vernie Mosenian
who took her enlisted brother's place on the
farm.

WASHINGTON. (ACP). The pressure o
war has prompted the Federal Civil Service
Commission to offer its "Junior Professiona
Assistant" examination to college people for
the second time this year. In previous years it
has been offered only once in January.
Also for the first time, it is open to every
college senior or graduate, regardless of his
major. Each applicant will take the same two
hour examination, designed to test his genera
knowledge and adaptability. Openings exist in
Washington and in "the field."
The jobs will pay $2,000 unless you indi
cate willingness to take less ($1,440, $1,620 or
$1,800). Especially sought are those intereste
in public administration, business analysis, ceo
nonucs. home economics, library science am
mathematics.
Get blanks and details at the postoffice o
Civil Service District office. Closing date for
filing is April 27.
College students with architectural train
ing are needed by the government in "Junior
Architect jobs paying $2,000. Seniors may
apply. No w ritten test is given. The Civil Serv
ice blank to ask for is "Architect, $2,000 t
$.1,200 a year."
More than 3 million workers have been
trained by the nation's schools in special tech
nical lines to serve the armed forces and wa
industries.
Since the report two weeks ago that 9,500
of Norway's 10,500 teachers had resigned i
protect against Nazification of the' Norse
sehools, 2,000 Norwegian schoolmasters hav
been arrested by the Nazis. Almost all Norwe
gian sehools are closed.
Soft Music, Lights Greet
Union 'Night Club' Patrons
Soft music, suitable atmosphere,
and laughing ice against tall,
green coke bottles, glamour, and
broad shoulders will magically
transform the austere walls of

club for tonight and tomorrow
right only.
Planned to aid the grill during
the crowds that will fill the Union

dent Union's fourth birthday, the

male specimen will be there, too
your date!

ticket, to the unitiated) today be
fore the deadline of 8:30 p. m. and

Union's birthday party for the

couple's admission to both week
end parties, and are priced at $1.10
per ticket

We've always wanted to be Ivy Day Poet, but we never bad
enough money to buy a rhyming dictionary. Therefore we must again
resort to theft, and this time the victim was class-mate Leonard
Boasberg, who wrote a poem in a moment of mesmcrization and who
will probably be surprised at reading this here.
a
ivy Day, oh, Ivy Day,
Tradition long revered,
Happy day or gloomy day,
Day of euttomt tceird.
MORNING:
Beautiful voices in perfect harmony blending
The interfraternity sing,
Would that the rest of the day were as beautiful,
Ah, death, where is thy sting?.
Next on the program the Ivy Day orator,
At precisely teh-fifteen,
He's followed by the Daisy Chain,
Preparing the way for the Queen.
The Queen's attendants, poor souls, are selected
For a very definite reason,
Theirs never the honor of Mortar Board.
Appeasin', or treason this season?
The Queen takes her place on the dais,
And now, the crowning inglory. With glee
The Ivy Day poet reads his poem for Her Highness,
Undeserving bard! Thou shouldest be me.
In a ceremony ancient and simple and honored,
The senior and junior class presidents come
To plant the Ivy for Ivy Day,
But to Death, the Ivy plants always succumb.
AFTERNOON:
This fact is true. I have a friend
Who has a friend who'd swear it,
The selections of Mortar Boards and Innocents
Are purely on the basis of merit.
Do politics every play a part in selections?
Why, sir! How could you? Gad, man!
One who would make such a statement rash
Must surely be a madman.
will benefit various worthy funds
or organizations as designated by
the group in charge of each booth
Profits will go to the Red Cross
USO, Fort Crook rec? cation center,
WSSF, and the Student Founda
tion.
One of the main attractions of
Carnival Night is the special Un
ion telegraph service set up for
tonight by Theta Sigma Phi. A
telegram may be sent anywhere
in the building at regular rates.
The party goer may also have his
fortune told, his portrait sketched,
play roulette, pitch pennies, race
either turtles or rats, or any of a
variety of other activities.
Feature of Saturday's party will
be the presentation of the 1942
Cornhusker beauty queens which
will take place at 10:30 p. m. in
the ballroom. Bill Marsh, Union
director, will be announcer and
master of ceremonies.
CINCINNATI, O. (ACP). As a
further contribution to the
cultural relations, the University
of Cincinnati has announced 16
strengthening of inter-American
scholarships created expressly for
South and Central American stu
dents. .
The incumbent Mortar Boards hike aimlessly about,
Sorority voices echo o'er the mall,
Prospective Mortar Boards shiver and wait,
The least influence they have, the harder they fall.
The Mortar Boards are masked. Aye, 'tis true,
Girls wait years for this great day,
Only to find that they've worked in vain.
Mortar Boards are idols with feet of clay.
Stalking through the crowd come now the Innocents,
Men with souls of purest white,
And fraternity men of activities tremble,
For them: The depths, or the highest heights.
Did you say, "Fraternity?" Yes, I said, "Fraternity,"
For seldom, though long may thou seek.
Is a junior chosen who doesn't have one
Qualification: Greek,
One by one the Innocents are tapped,
One by one men's hopes fade away,
Innocents are chosen because they're the best,
That's what the Innocents say.
EVENING:
Oh, to be a Mortar Board,
Now that May is here,
Oh, to be an Innocent,
Dancing, drinking beer.
Iry Day, oh, Ivy Day,
Long rrrrrcd tradition,
Day of joy, day of teari
Day of coalition.

Ncivcomb Coeds
Bcin 'Sweetlieart
Insurance9 Plan
Dormitory students at Newcomb
college, New Orleans, have devised
a type of "sweetheart insurance"
which, they believe, will eliminate
rivals in affairs of the heart.
Should a student suddenly be
come unpopular and wait to no
avail for phone calls from her
"steady" she can consult the dor
mitory "dae book."
There, in black and white, she
may discover the trouble. For In
that book are recorded all dates of
dormitory girls, with the exact
time of departure and return and
the name of the escort.
Failure to sign out, or errors in
signing, are taken up by . the
Campus Honor society and delin
quents are confined to the campus
for several days.
There is a way to beat the game,
however. If one girl's boy friend
takes a fancy to another of the
students, the "chisclcrs" can have
a strolling date on the large cam
pus, in accordance with regula
tions, without recording the meeting.
Stephens Siimcs .Form
Large Harp Gass
COLUMBIA, Mo. (ACP). De
spite the recent prominence of the
imperative bugle and the swing
blatant trumpet, the delicate harp
is coming into its own. Students
at Stephens college have evidenced
such interest in the ancient instru
ment that they now comprise the
largest harp class in the country'
educational Institutions.
