Doing The Job . . .
Nebraska's now KOTO commandant, Colonel James P.
Murphy, addressed Ihe I'reshnient at the annual -convocation to
day and settled many rumors that have been in circulation con
ccrning the slatus of the ROTC student in this university.
Jle urged students to settle down to hard study and not
spend too much time worrying over their military status. The
commandant said that when the time came for students to
leave the campus Ihe army will take them, but until that time
they should plan on their regular college careers.
This is an admirable outlook since constant worry over the
possibility of being taken by Ihe army leaves many students in
a qua wiry, unable to study properly and hence, useless in the
KOTC. Every sludent should go ahead villi his university
work as if nothing would keep him from graduation; if he is
called he will have had some valuable study, but if he isn't
called until later he may be able to leave w ith a degree.
Students must not lose their interest in education merely
because ihere is a war since it will lake highly trained and spe
cialized men and women to fill the many jobs available after
the war. Many of us may be called before we have complcled
our training. This should make us more determined than ever
to return to school laler and prepare ourselves for reconstruc
tion work.
It' we lay Ike proper foundation now without constantly
worrying over the future, we will be that much belter off when
the time comes for us to relurn to classes. Those si udenls" who
do not lay the proper foundation now, will find themselves
wilhout the proper Iraining for officers or leaders in civilian
life.
Sludents should realize that unless the situation reaches a
serious crisis, ihey are much more valuable to ihe army in an
inslitulion of this kind where they are getting both unitary and
technical Iraining than in 1he army. The army needs well
trained men, and lacks proper facilities for Iraining in large
numbers.
If we will keep our heads and not let minors upset ns. we
can accomplish a greal deal of work ihis year. When Ihe time
comes, Ihe army willjakc Ihe men it needs, no matter what
happens. ''We'll nil go together" and hope we can come back
together to conlinuo our study.

On Ag Campus
Forty-eight Coeds Fill Love
Memorial Dorm to Capacity
. . . Phone Number Popular
6-5046... one of the most popu
lar telephone numbers on this
campus.
With this kind of a description,
it should be easy for anyone to
guess the location of this phone.
It's Love Memorial hall the home
of 48 ag college coeds.
These home ec majors are ready
to begin what promises to be a
very successful year. The rooms
are all filled to capacity, the hall
has been slightly remodeled, anJ
the girls themselves seem to be
very enthusiastic.
The new resident advisor is Miss
Lilian Brehm and the new presi
dent is Mary McDermand. The
new coeds there this year include
20 freshmen- and two graduate stu
dents. Activities Varied.
The schedule for the girls seems
to be well rounded, for besides
cooking, keeping house, doing
dishes and sewing, they have a
number of hour dances and house
parties already planned.
The girls are selected to live in
the hall on the basis of scholar
ship, citizenship, character, and
their standing with AWS.
Furnishings of the rooms were
given by various organizations and
persons. One of the rooms is fur
nished by Tassels, one by Mortar
Board, one by Kappa Alpha Theta
and one by AWS. The upper
lounge is furnished with furniture
from the Don L. Love home.
Paint Mural.
However the girls have added
something themselves which well
deserves mention. Last years resi
dents with the help of Miss Steele
designed and painted a very beau
tiful mural on the wall of their
recreation room. This mural de
picts university life at Nebraska.
With a home like this filled with
coeds who are learning to cook,
is it any wonder that the male pop
ulation of the university keeps
their telephone number handy ?
Class
(Continued from Page 1.)
exclaimed with all the enthusiasm
of the typical Nebraska coed,
"Golly, I think it's just wonder
ful!" The boys, too, did some exclaim
ing over their choice, remarking
on her aliveness, her California
tan and of course, her beauty, and
winning smile.
For her appearance last night on
the stage of the Cornhusker ball
room, Jinx chose to heighten her
dark coloring with brilliant red
street length dress and matching
hat, complemented with gold cos
tume jewelry.
Appears At Base.
On the go constantly since th?
troup wired her the day before
to join them at Lincoln, the star
had just returned from a personal
appearance at the Lincoln air base
when she was triumphantly con
ducted between the admiring
crowd which filled the hotel ball
room. The Ritz brothers had great fun
on the stage when they accused
her of leaving the tomatoe patcli
in California to join them on the
tour. The mystery .was cleared
up when Jinx returned with spirit
and patriotism that indeed she
had been picking tomatoes in the
San Fernando valley, where help
is desperately needed in harvesting
the year's crop.
Library Offers
War Booklet
If it's war information that any
one wants, just call on Miss Ruby
C. Wilder at the old library build
ing. Miss Wilder is in complete
charge of the war information
service that is used in the univer
sity library.
Organized under the U. S. de
partment of information, the serv
ice sends sample copies of pam
phlets on war activities immedi
ately upon publication. All over
the country colleges and universi
ties have been made key informa
tion centers, responsible for dis
tributing war information to stu
dents and schools.
Among interesting pamphlet
recently received was one giving
brief sketches of all the United
Nations, "The Thousand Million."
Included also are the "Yellow
Book," a Dies Committee repoprt
on the Japanese; "Jungle War
fare" and "Artie Manual," both
war department manupls, and
weekly news maps.
The exhibit case, just inside the
library door, has been filled this
week with pamphlets and posters
pertaining to the information serv
ice. Pamphlets received from the
Free France information service
in Ottawa, the Phippine govern
ment, and the exiled governments
of the Netherlands, Norway and
Poland are included in the ex
hibit. Perhaps the most interest
ing of all is the booklet fiven to
American boys on their way to
Great Britain. It explains various
British terms new to our br.ys, and
how to be diplomatic with the re
served British.
Miss Wilder emphasized that all
students were welcome to use the
service at any time they wish.
She is also very willing to answer
any questions that students may
have.
