Learning the
Hard Way
Nebraska students are goitijir to literally get
a taste of 1 lie war .Monday when t lie organized
houses, Student I'liion, residence halls for
women ami as campus hoarding clubs are put
cm a one day trial oL' Uritish rations. For three
meals, students will eat the type of food eaten
hy the British daily, eat consisting mostly oi
bread and potatoes.
This plan is heartily approved by the home
economics association and the National Bureau
of Home Economics who wrote to the defense
council, sponsoring the plan, that it was the
first idea of this kind to be tried on campuses
over the country and asked to be advised of
the results.
Many students will groan when they sit
down to Monday night's meal and find food
they are unaccustomed to, but these same stu
dents are those who need to be knocked in the
head to make them realize that the United
States is at war and that there will be sa'cri
fices far greater than a one day's menu to
make. This plan will give groups some idea of
what is to be expected in the future as far as
food is! concerned and may make a few of us
realize that we should seriously set our minds
and efforts to the war if we are going to ob
tan a final victory.
This plan is but one of few which should
le tried on this campus next year to wake up
many individuals. The council will have one
of 1he most important jobs of any organiza
tion on the campus and should get the whole
hearted cooperation of every other group in
an effort to educate Nebraska students along
war lines.
Projects such as air raid drills, gas drills,
ambulance driving, and intense food and cloth
ing rationing should be introduced next year
by the council. Some will scoff at the idea of
air raid drills but the practice and experience
f going thru such drills may come in handy
for persons who will leave school next year to
work in cities where air raids may be a com
mon occur a nee.
The defense council has sponsored several
good projects this year but their main effort
was spent in getting the group organized and
planning activities. Under the chairmanship
of Nancy Haycock, the. group has carried on
first aid classes, given dances for soldiers, con
ducted a successful victory book campaign, do
nated furniture to the USO eluh at Fort Crook,
and produced a Red Cross benefit show. This
is only a scratch on the surface compared to
what "can be done for the duration.
Kvery organization on the campus is asked
to send representatives to the group but this
year the membership has been comprised large
ly of women. Next year's council should find
men's activities represented if we are to have

Regents of the university wishing to rid Ne
braska of every suspicion of loyalty, issued ihe
following proclamat ion :
"Kvery instructor, officer and employee of
1lie university must bcloyal and a wholeheart
ed active American. Kvery person connected
with the institution who is shown in public
hearing to be negatively hailing and hesitant
in support of the government or failing to do
his or her part when called upon in the pres
ent struggle will be summarily dismissed from
any connection with ihe university and a loyal
successor will he appointed according to a de
cision hy the board of regents."
The board felt that a matter so vital to
the university should he taken by everyone in I
the utmost sincerity and the necessity for the
above proclamation was felt very necessary.

Students at Purdue may take advantage of
the courses in nutrition and canteen work of

These courses will train workers in the proper
care for large groups of persons in case of
emergency.
Members of the staff at U. C. L. A. conduct
ed a survey to investigate various methods of
getting to school which some of the student
geniuses plant to adopt. Some of the replies
include such sage remarks as "I'll tap the wa
ter on my knee and swim to school;" "I hope
I'm a long way from home with a cute gal so's
T can enjoy it';" "Give me my boots and sad
dles." Unless the interfraternity council at the Uni
versity of Oregon follows the lead of the heads
of the various houses and votes to ban ex
change desserts from the campus, the recently
enacted ruling by the women students will not
accomplish its major purpose, that of saving
time and energy for national defense.

that is not also nation-and home

cokes, there will be no shortage
as far as he can see. The syrup
of Towne Colas, which are now
served in the Grill until a ship
ment of Coca Cola syrup is re
ceived, which Incidentally is ex
pected any day now, is mixed with
a simple syrup made of water and
80 percent sugar, but will continue
to be available until the last grain
of sugar has departed. When
Coca Cola syrup is received, there
will be no need to mix a simple
syrup with it as Coca Cola already
lias the sugar added.
So the moral of this tale seems
to be to go on making coke dates
with your best girl, and putting
sugar in your coffee, but co-operate
in every way with the Union
staff in refraining from needlessly
wasting sugar.

Tulane Expect
Boom in Apple
Market Soon
(By Aworlat4 CllKiat Trrm.)
A boom in the apple market is
expected at the Tulane university
college of arts and sciences this
semester, for the college has ac
quired its first "schoolm'am"
young and pretty Mrs. Alfred Loe
blich, jr.
She will take the plate of her
husband, Instructor in geology at
the university, who, as first lieu
tenant in the field artillery, has
been granted a leave of absence
for the duration of the war.
Just a natural part of a part
nership that began in their under
graduate days at the University
of Oklahoma is the way that Dr.
and Mrs. Loeblich describe her
taking over his Job. Virtually
meeting over a microscope, they
received their B. S. degrees to
gether, took postgraduate work
together, and received fellowships
to the University of Chicago to
gether, Mrs. Loeblich being the
first woman ever to have received
one in geology.
"Since we both had fellowships,
it was cheaper to live together
than to live apart, so we got
married," explained Mr. Loeblich.
Since their marriage they have
worked together on the collecting
of rocks, to be boiled and treated
to extract microscopic fossils
