4 DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, February 18, 1943 TluiA. By Bob McNutt The hardest thing about writ Ing a column is to find a way to begin that will immediately draw attention to what is to fol low. Uusually the way I begin reflects the way I foel. If I start by saying: "Boy, I'm so tired I could yawn right in Heddy LaMarr's face," then you know that I'm in bad shape. But if I start eut with something like: A' star fell out of heaven Right into my arms Boy! was that thing hot! then you know that I'm really on the beam. Oh, well, that's me, One day down in the dumps, the next day home taking a bath, Since I've got this thing started ha9 appeared so often, a small sketch of my association with the "rag" is in order. Scribes Work . . . I'm a leg man. That doesn't mean that I sell legs. False or otherwise. It means I'm a scribe Scribes are halfwits, who work. On college papers. Or sheets. Or rags. Or what have you. I'm open, Bib! Leg men write. Dribble. Dirt. Politics. What's the difference?"! write anything. I don't cover the police beat. I cover a seat in the grill. That's a coke joint. I heard. All news comes to him who waits, So I want. But I'm being comfort able about. Some day I'll get a scoop. Some students think a scoop is a fistfull of ice cream A scoop is a neat story. I know a neat story, but I could be cen sored for it. Years ago. when I was a soph. I'd do anything for the paper. I wrote stories on my cuff. I used white cuffs. I picked up. A story. Not a Susie. My room mate sent my shirts out. No story. That hurt. ... It Says Here. Years ago, when I was a soph. I'd do anything for the paper. One day the paper. Was short of paper. They sent me down to the press room. And the printers ran me through the press twice. Once on each side. I was a mess. But I was a walking paper. Stu dents followed me for weeks. To read items. I had a large dairy ad on by vertebrae. When I shagged at tea dances the ad changed to malted milk. Years ago, when I was in High school. I wrote a lead about our Dean. I read copy on my lead. I read proof on my lead. The dean read my lead, left town. We haven't seen him since. I'm a leg man. Only the best come to the grill. I like to watch these crazy people. Sometimes it's nice being a leg man. And that's my story of a jour nalism career that has been ex tremely short if not profitable.

Abdel Kader Larbi, son of an Arabian shlek, is promising his friends a camel after the final United Nations victory. Si Kader, who helps to teach Moi'occan at the University of Pennsylvania, is overjoyed that the Americans have invaded his coun try. "We Moroccans like the Amer icans very much," he said as he told of his part in the first World war when he fought with the French forces. "Casablanca is somewhat like Philadelphia, but on the whole more modern." Si Kader's family lives near the snow-capped Atlas mountains. And when he goes home they celebrate with lavish feasts of sheep roasted whole, and coua-cous and kebab. The Arabs, he said, sit on the floor and eat from a low table, using only their right hands.
