So
oaeu
BY MARY LOUISE GOODWIN.
With indications that the col
lege joes would soon be leaving
for the army, many a N. U. stu
dent stepped from behind a
mantel of books and polished ap
ples to spend a week-end of fun
and frolic. Many couples could
be seen enjoying added spirits and
laughter at the Turnpike Friday
night to the tuns of Alvino Roy,
and his singing guiator, while en
ergetically striving to bolster their
morales.
Activitv Friday night was di
vided between the Tike and the
ATO dance at the Student Union.
The boys at the Tau house ush
ered in a new trend in annual
greek dances, as couples dined and
danced to Hank Mattison and
really had tun at the Union. At
least reports from Jack Higgin's
hang-over session indicated that
wo new faces, Kenny Elson, and
Corky York. Theta functioned per
prescribed formula. And then
Bob Sandburg-, last year's Prince
Kosmct. dropped in during the
latter part of the evening from
Harvard to stag it and chisel
dances from brothers.
At the Pike.
Reverberating to Rey's rhythmi
cal guitar, and ducking doughboys
with the rest of the college kids
were DU John Slothowcr and his
pinmate of a just recent date,
Barbara Duncan. Sie Jack Busbv
should have a new twist in his
affairs occasioned by his new pin
mate Norma Jean Ackerman, en
joying the evening with another
escoit of the DU house.
Oh by the way, keeping up with
the Frazee-Athey affair keeps this
column changing at every press
time.
Friday it was understood that
Marv told Julie to take the pin
and either thiow it away or wear
it. As of Friday night the greek
letters being- worn once again
along side the DG anchor. But
enough of that evening's affairs
save to mention that Tom Drum
mond was the smoothest boy out
there to be f.ble to find a spot
large enough to fall down in.
Blackout Date . . .
Odds and ends: By way of
dental college comes this little
tidbit. Jim Weesner, SAE is all
for having bigger and better
blackouts. He spent the last one
out at Alpha Phi's Betty Jo Lead
ley's house. Pat Becker, also of
that domicle is flashing the big
smile again all because Bill
Stoner, steady from Wentworth,
is home for the holidays. FH Phil
Miller and Blwnche Reid, Loomis
Hall are steadying it.
Last night the Sig Chis revealed
as their Sweetheart of 1942 none
other than Lana Turner. The
reason lor not picking on local
talent? Well, according to sev
eral of the brothers, there are too
many eligible candidates on the
campus to choose one and not of
fend the others so they solved the
problem by electing Lana and now
they say no one can hate them ex
cept Hedy LaMarr.

nor and reception of new members
last night. At the dinner Eugene
Floyd, YM secretary, gave a brief
explanation of the new relation
ship between the university and

he might be.

with the political, social and eth
ical training offered by liberal edu
cation." Navy Plans Nearer.
He continued that "present navy
plans come nearer those laid out
by the association than the army's
pians.
Meanwhile, Dr. Harold W.
Dodds of Princeton, Dr. Edmund
E. Day of Cornell and Chancellor
Harry Woodburn of New York
university announced they would
co-operate fully with the program.
All three expressed approval of
the navy program, which, thov
claim, allows some p-enmi educa
tion at the college level.
At Nebraska tentative plans
have been worked out to offer use
of the new library, where from 600
to 1,200 men could be housed. The
coliseum also could be used as a
dormitory and could be equipped
to handle a thousand men. Use
of the Student Union for feeding
the men has been studied, and uni
versity officials have asked the
city YMCA to consider making its
cafeteria available to the student
soldiers.
The army plan, as understood
here, does not permit use of such
housing as could be provided by
taking over fraternity houses.
The navy plan would probably per
mit such facilities. A possible
alternative, if the army should
come to the camnus. is to take
over certain fraternities for wom
en's dormitories and to turn Carrie
Belle Raymond hall over to the
army. Such a plan would have
to wait till the end of the school
year, however, emphasized the
chancellor.
Nebraska Wesleyan, neighbor
ing university, has also begun
making preparations to alter its
program to include the manpower
plan. Altho their accommodations
will be much smaller the urhni
has been selected along with some
300 other schools over the nation
to aid in the program.

college, Parkville, Mo.
What place has education in a
country fighting for its life? How
much and what kind of education
do we need to win this war?
These questions are termed "the
burning questions of the day" in
a lengthy article in Fortune's
magazine this month.
Thus far in the war, colleges
have undergone small changes,
but from now until the duration
Fortune predicts great chr.nges.
At the present time colleges and
their students are more confused
than anybody in the U. S. man
power muddle. The article hinted
that the reign of confusion would
soon be over, even though Paul V.
McNutt had not yet been ap
pointed manpower commissioner
when the article was written.
The article typified college life
at several U. S. universities this
year in contrast with peacetime
years. Incidents at Wisconsin,
Yale, Cornel, Chicago and Knox
colleges were quoted.
Many universities have lent a
portion of their facilities to the
government for courses in Japa

students playing up "war" courses
such as map reading, communica

The general atmosphere around
colleges has changed consider
ably since last year. Cirls from
various universities were quoted.
A sophomore Delta Gamma at
Wisconsin summed up the situa
tion by saying, "It's not like Wis

Future of College Life?
What will happen to college stu
dents in the near future? Fortune
quoted a half dozen college lead
ers who were unanimous that lib
eral education must be continued
during the war. The magazine
hinted that something definite was
brewing and that the college mud
dle would soon be cleared.
Confused college students would
do well to read the article which I
