There are going to be a lot of
unhappy people if it isn't a "White
Christmas" this year. It vies with
"Strip Polka" for top place on
the Corn Crib hit parade. . . We've
heard about the shortage of women
on the campus, but this is the
first time we've ever heard of a
couple of fraternities getting to
gether and having an hour dance.
It seems that one-of the wittier
fraternity social chairmen called
up the Beta house the other day
and asked the pledge who an
swered the phone if he could
schedule an hour dance with them,
to which the sharp pledge replied,
"Just a minute, I'll let you talk
to the social chairman." Have
fun, boys.
Ruthie's Back.
The Edward's on the campus
are getting together these days.
Beta Johnny and Kappa Marilyn
are repeating their date last week
end with another this coming
weekend. . . Tri Delt of a couple
of years back was in town this
week to see pinmate John Jay
Douglass, idea man of the ATO
hunt. . . Betas Neal and Lloyd
Yorker are forsaking all these
worldly pleasures of civilian life
to work in Uncle Sam's ski troups
come Saturday.
Also leaving for the armed
forces, namely the air corps, Sat
urday night is Kappa Sig Ken
Spradling. The saddest part of
the story is that he leaves at 6
p. m., just before the annual
Kappa Sig barn dance.
Tri Delt and Phi Delt . . .
These Tri Delts Eetty Dix is
now showing off hc-r new sword
and shield, the token of Phi Delt
Howard Chapins' affection. . .

, Kappa Delt Judy Hughes, is
displaying a beautiful new wrist,
watch, a gift from pinmate, Frank
Mayer, Sig Chi who is now in
the army. . . Towne Club girls,

we say informal) with Tommie

the ACBC house, respectively
ATOs Jim Van Landinghanj,
Carl Petty, Roland Finley, and
Bob Newman are making a mass
exodus to Springfield, Mo., to see

say. . . DeeGees Helen Johnson

Karlier in the year, in a state

that "we are permitted to con

agencies. We muft devote our

Rag Reporter Takes Vicarious
Stab at Wartime Marriage
. . . Motlier-in-Law Steps In
BY LEONARD STEIN.
Well, it's an awful situation
when a potential bachelor must
write a story regarding wartime
marriages. Who gives a darn
about people getting married any
how? Evidently a lot of people are
giving this topic quite a bit of
thought, because I have heard
with a cold ear quite a few argu
ments on this subject. The old
maids and potential old-maids
state vehemently that the boom in
marriages due to the war is de
finitely all right because it is now
or most lively never for them.
At this point the mother-in-laws
step up and put their two cents in.
The mothers of the old-maid type
aren't doing too much talking, but
those who believe their daughters
are of marriage caliber during
peacetime are quick to condemn
war marriages.
Chaqu'un a Son Gout.
Practically everyone has some
thing to say on the matter except
me, and I "still don't give a darn
about the whole mess. That is,
the average person will casually
put in his two cents on the mat
victory for the preservation of a
way of life that is worthy of liv
ing." Thompson Agrees.
Dean T. J. Thompson, speaking
at the recent university war con
vocation, told men students "the
government has come to the col
leges to find a group already pre
selected on the basis of natural and
educational abilities for officer
candidates.
"You should consider if your
place is in industry or the armed
services, and which branch of
them. But you are expected to
stick to your choice until you are
discharged."
Students at the University of
North Dakota recently were
granted leaves to help in the har
vest fields.

ter, but there are very few who
care to be quoted.
Should young people get married
these days? Should college stu
dents in reserves hitch up and get
a taste of the real war?
Should fellows stop getting se
rious with girls during these
times and go on a purely platonic
basis? These are only a few of
the questions confronting Joe and
Jane College these days.
What do the psychologists think
of these questions? A. F. Gen
ness of the psychology depart
ment does not care to stick his
chin out on these vital questions.
He believes each couple is an in
dividual case, and that some war
marriages turn out for the good.
Depends on Couples.
Some college students do well in
their courses of study even though
they are married, so Professor
Genness docs not discourage stu
dents not to get married on this
point. However some do not get
good grades. He also believes
that each couple is a specific case
and there are many factors such
as length of time known and finan
cial circumstances which enter the
picture. All in all, however, Mr.
Genness does not recommend mar
riage to students at the present
time.
Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of phar
macy college, is quite definite in
attacking wartime marriages. He
stated: "Most of these marriages
by soldiers especially are made on
the spur of the moment under in
tense emotional conditions, and
will end in tragedies.'
He believes that if a couple
really loves on another they will
wait until the war is over and
Johnny comes marching home to
stay. As to college students get
ting married ,the dean believes
students are too young for mar
riage. Well, here we are at the end
and I am still uninterested in my
subject, and still hold that there
is on future in platonic friendship!

From Importation
Library Receives Books
Released from Bermuda
The university library has re
ceived several shipments of scien
tific and technical books and pe
riodicals which were released early
this summer after the material
had been seized at Burmuda by
the English government. The ma
terial was released by the Joint
Committee on Importation which
is made up of representatives of
both England and the United
States.
The committee was appointed by
the American Library Association
to obtain the release of the seized
material which had been held at
Burmuda since early 1940 shortly
after the declaration of war be
tween Great Britain and Ger many.
First Shipments Arrive.
Material was released early this
summer, but due to the lack of
shipping facilities the first ship
ments are just beginning to ar
rive in the United States. Ne-

Hold Art Exhibit
Al Morrill Hall
A new show of art work by
the men in the war services, is
open Sundays at Morrill hall at
the University of Nebraska. It
is presented by the university art
department as a regular exhibit
and will be open to the public un
til Nov. 9.
New hours are also in effect
at Morrill for the museum and
art displays. Visitors will be ad
mitted from 2 until 9 p. m. on
Sundays and until 5:30 on a week
day.
This new show' includes or iginal
drawings and sketches by men
stationed at the Lincoln air base,
and will be titled "Art Work by
Men in the Nation's Service.
Also on exhibit, is work by
the alumni of the university now
in the services.

. . . After British Seizure
braska has received about 125
volumes and 50 issues of periodi
cals. The material is not injured
to any great extent.
The committee is now working
to obtain permission to get addi
tional material of this nature from
the axis controlled nations, but as
yet the committee has made no re
port as to whether this will bf
possible.
The federal government has au
thorized the sending of $250,000
to these countries if shipment is
permitted. Universities through
out the United States have ex
pressed the need for scientific ma
terial of this type which has been
cut off by the war conditions.

"tnl: a look at those figures and'
you can see a darn good thing."
Nooo!!
Hoyt Yowell, freshman, puts,
thumbs down. "Absolutely not,
women will be too tough to han
dle after a period of four years."
Physical education for four
years is branded as a good thing
by junior Mary Brande since "this
m
is a time of war and we need to
keep physically fit."
Max Laughlih, senior, sympa
thetically sighs as he declaresf
"No, I don't think so. When I
remember what I went thru ..."
Junior Paul Wykhert is all for
it. It seems he wants to see the
girls get in shape for a change.
A change from what, Paul? 1
Economically speaking, sopho
more Eunice Stebbins believes
that come tire shortage and gasf'
rationing the girls will get enough
exercise walking.
This could go on and on, hence'
with this representative group we
will cease until next time.
Twenty thousand hours of flying
instruction have been given at
Nortnwestern University without-
