Times Are Tough . . .
Sadly liiissint? on this campus ;tt the present time is a war
stamp stand or . booth. Must campuses over the country have
already begun their -war stamp drives and Nebraska should not
be a "left-behind'' in this all out effort for funds to beat the
axis. , x
i At the present jtjime stamps may be purchased at the Vnion
fffiec but this is not "widely publicized The net result has been
that few students :have purchased st;iinps. The Siudcnt 'War
Committee should take 1his situation ; up at its first-meet inr
xnurMiay ami asicjjor co-operation from some organization
such as Corn Cobs -or Tassels in the drive.
Last year the .siudenls on this campus were about "driven"
flit with Hed Cross-drives, AVSSF fund drives, and manv others.
The most important drive of them all seems to have been
negelected last year, and it seems important enousrh at the
present time 1o take precedent over every fit her money raising
drive on Ihe campus. i
it some service organization on the campus will volunteer
its services for such work, the Student War Council will be able
to get the booth underway immediately. Many students could
flllv lmv a ffw cttininc ci m-.jI- m,l if ,.,.,n.. ...oo 1 ....,-... 1
to their attention by a booth in the Vnion, many would begin
a stamp saving program.
It is our patriotic duty to further the allied cause in every
way possible, even if it means suffering such hardships as givini;
up two cokes a week. Think it over.

Chinese Library Requests
Collection of Thesis Titles
Among the many letters that
composed this morning's mail for
the university library was a letter
that had come all the way from
war-tarn China. The National Cen
tral Library of Chungking;, Srech
won, China, is making for their
files a collection of the titles of
master essays and doctoral disser
tations written by Chinese students
who'have been granted their mas
ter's or doctor's degrees from the
universities of the United States.
This Chinese library has been
collecting titles such as these foi
the past several years and has
on file the titles of over 3,000
theses written by Chinese students
in America. Nebraska's library
department is co-opt rating in this
work.
It took nearly five months for
the letter to reach its destination,
having been post-marked and cen
sored May 15.
!At Lincoln General ...
Student Infirmary Handles
Sascs, Tells Danger of Cold
. . . In Fall Weather
The student infirmary at Lin
coln General hospital has alreday
had some patients from among
U.N. i.tudents. Three colds and
ne appendectomy have been
taken care of. Dr. Lyman in
formed the Daily Nebraskan
Monday.
This is . the time of year that
colds can be contracted with
little effort, so if you are among
the unfortunate people with a
cold, take care of yourself.
For those of you who have
colds, keep yourself isolated from
other people, use a gargle, don't
expose yourself foolishly, and get
plenty of rest.
If the cold bug hasn't caught
up with you, heed this advice from
Dr. Lyman: Don't sleep in a
cold room; however, have your
room well ventilated; get plenty
of rest, and get lots of outdoor
exercise.

Fraternity Antics
Reprinted from the Iowa State Daily Student.
After every rush, week there are hundreds of
classic stories being told about the antics of the
various rushees as the fraternities and sororities put
on the big time. Here are few from this year's
mill:
One male rushee who called at the rushing office
to fill out a pledge assumption card for Kappa
Sigma put down instead Sigma Kappa. Upon
checking the records, Inter-Fraternity Councilmen
Forrest Stepp, discovered the mistake, and tele
phoned the rushee to ask him how he had been
enjoying his overnight dates.
A new neophyte of Sigma Nu carried a.vay by the
idea of putting the button on the boys, went out on
his own and pledged another new one, and then
brought him home to meet the active chapter. Bally
doesn't know whether the newest pledge still wanted
to hang around after meeting the real members of
the frat.
Professor Bruner, of the English and Speech De
partment and Senior English exam fame, attended
a Sunday night banquet at the Beta house, and
while there a new pledge came up and congratu
lated the Prof, for just pledging Beta. Wonder
what will happen if this pledge draws Professor
Bruner for his English prof.
Then there's the story about the gal at the
Gamma Phi house who after finishing dessert, put
her napkin in her purse and her glove in th
garbage can,
A financial-minded rushee asked the Phi Delta
whether there wns any reemolnce between thir
budget and those three bright red wombats they
have been cruising around numbered 1, 2 and 3,
Only shady-sided work we're heard about con
cerns the same befuddled frosh who signed pledge
cards for two fraternities. Then quite mysteriously,
one of the cards disappeared from the files of the
inter-fraternity council- Anyway, the frosh ended
up at the DU house and nobody is quite sure whether
the DU's tore up his Sigma Nu card, the Sigma
Nu's tore it up themselves, or what Bally suggests
Yahootie!!!! 1
Still another bewilered freshman knocked on the.
door of the Sig Alf house to inquire whether or
not room and board was obtainable there. Little
did this unsuspecting frosh realize how close he
came to tragedy. They told they had just rented
their last room. 4
REWARD
Bally offers a fur-lined bath-tub to the student
solving the mystery of where all the cute fresh
man girls who are here rush week disappear to
when school starts. If you can also answer what
happens to all the high-heeled shoes, hats and pretty
dresses, we'll throw in Ag hall, and the broadcast
ing tower as part of the reward.
Dr. Martin Introduces
Commercial Radio Course
The doors of radio are opening
wide to Nebraska students this
year emitting opportunities for
preparatory and advanced study in
this field. Dr. Leo Martin is in
structing a new two year course
in commercial radio announcing
for all students interested, with no
previous experience required.
These students, besides being given
training in voice and diction, will
also receive Jtual experience on
university broadcasts. The second
year students will compose a pro
duction class to be in charge of a
series of radio programs put on
for the university.
In addition to the classes. Dr.
Martin is sponsoring extra-curricular
radio activities for fresh
men. The diagnostic speech tests
which were given to all entering
freshmen with their physical ex
ams will determine the ability and
experience of those who wish to
take part in radio activities.
An extensive program of univer
sity radio broadcasts is being
planned this year in which the
various radio classes and clubs will
participate. A broadcast illustrat
ing the part played in the war by
the different colleges of Nebraska
will.be on the program for the
coming year. We will also hear
dramatizations of famous crim
inal cases and crime detections to
urge cooperation with the Lincoln
safety council. Stories for children,
sponsored by the Lincoln Junior
League and book reviews will also
be listed among the many enter
taining features which will make
up these new weekly university
broadcasts.
Loyalty Pays ...
But Bob Sinkey
Loses Six Times
. . . As Hunkers Win
For five years as a student ct
the university Robert Sinkey bt
on his home state as represented
by the Iowa Hawkeyes in their
annual football game with the
Cornhuskers. Five years straight
Bob lost.
This year, Sinkey, now director
of the Student Union, once moie
took all bets as he bet on Iowa
for the sixth time. Once more
he ill pay off as Nebraska sent
Iowa down for their eighth suc
cessive defeat at the hands of th
Huskers. '
What price loyalty to the home
state. Dig deep, Bob.
