ROTC Men Will Be Privates,
Coeds Will Be 'At Home' Fridays
Say Coeds . . .
By Ghita Hill.
Boys will be privates, but girls
will be girls.
After the ROTC was definitely
activated, it was decided that the
rulers on the campus should voice
their opinions on the subject of
the manpower shortage.
Manv eirls resolved to donate
some Drecious abunant free time
to the USO. Some said, "Oh well,
I still have my books. After all,
a woman's best friend is Plut
arch." Others had to admit that
they would be affected little since
my man has gone with the
ERC.
However, in visitine the new
"coed's" corn crib, some enlight
ening information was aisciosea.
Jean Bowers will devote more
of her time and spend more of
her students' energy In putting
them thru tne obstacle course at
the stadium.
"What study habits?" was the
quick reply of Kay Detweiler to
the obvious question, "Will you
alter your study habits?'
When asked how she would be
affected, Jeanie Browne replied,
"What are you asking me for 7
Chick is still here."
Alice Louise Becker was seen
bemoaning the fact that she would
have to stay in every night now.

One gay young lassy said confi
dentially, "I intend to spend more
week ends at home in the future.
After all I have to give my folks
a break, you know."
Jo Gish gave a lengthy account.
"The activation will affect me in
the following manner:
a. I will see more fellows in
privates uniforms.
b. I will endeavor to walk past
the library more often,
c. Navy, here I come."
The general opinion was that
the boys would have fun, and that
it would do a lot of them good.
Mary Clare Clark seemed to be
the only one who felt like crying.

Along with activiation last
night came the loss of the accus
tomed freedom to the university's
ex-ROTC officers.
No more coke dates, Friday
night parties, and Sunday evening
picnics.
Free time will be limited to the
period from 3 p. m. Saturday to
6 p. m. Sunday.
To see what the fellows were
going to do with their liberty, the
Daily corralled the few remaining
officer's uniforms in the Union
and took a survey.
Bill Mc Bride: "I'm going to
have a h of a good time!'
Howard Mengshol: "Guess I'll
probably help Bill."
Bud Johnson: "Just a friendly
little party with the boys."
Bob Sch later: "I'm going down
to the USO first thing."
Harry Richardson: "I'll really
have a good time." (Which causes
us to wonder who she is ? )
Jack Parker: "I'm going to
Omaha every Saturday night"
Frank Mattoon: "I don't know
