Canvassing the fraternity and
sorority houses for the last time
yesterday, the. drive for dollars
toward the senior gift came to a
successful completion, according:
to the announcement by Jay Hoff
man, chairman of the gift com
mittee. Bob Fast, senior class president,
who is in charge of collecting
money in the library said that he
would have all library seniors'
contributions by today. Ted
Greene, in charge of collections
from unaffiliated students, stated
that although many of the barbs
had contributed there was still
much to be done.
Contacting Difficult.
Since many of the unaffiliates
are not concentrated but spread
out all over the city it is difficult
to contact them. Therefore, in or
der to have barbs all represented
in the gift, those who can not be
contacted are asked to send or
bring their money to the Daily of
fice with name attached.
Now that the campaign is draw
ing to a successful finish it is
hoped that every senior will con
tribute a dollar toward a lasting
gift to the alma mater from the
class of '43.
The honor roll for today:
Louis Seybold, Jerry Sandall,
Gene Archer, Ann Kinder, Ma
bel Jean Schmer, Lois Williams,
Mary Bird, Helen Fuller, Betty
Prudham, Alice Louise Becker,
Janet Westover, Phil Reid,
Betty Dixon, Marjorie Leafdale,

At a joint meeting of the
American Chemical society and
the Nebraska Academy of Sci
ences tonight Prof. Harry N.
Holmes of Obetiin College, will
speak on official lists of strategic
materials and better management
of post-war stock piles.
The contribution of science in
greatly increasing production or
in preparing substitutes will bo
emphasized. Special attention will
bo given to rubber (natural and
synthetic ), toluene, aviation, gaso
line, mercury, manganese, chrom
ium, steel, mica, cork and fats.
Slock pile accumulation is pro
ceeding as rapidly as possible at
present but it began too late, in
spite of scientific warning. Om-
grcss and the general public need
education on the importance and
the possibilities of such strategic
materials listed . above. To help
along this line, Dr. Holmes has
written a small book "Strategic
Materials and National Strength. "
Holmes has been a member of
the American Chemical society
since 1908, a councilor and a coun-cilor-at-large,
secretary and then
chairman of the division of physi
cal and inorganic chemistry. In
1942, he was president of the so
ciety. He has been active in com
mittee work of the National Re
search council, and is a fellow of
the American Asociation for thi
Adancement of Science and Amer
ican Institute of Chemists.
Professor Holmes has spoken
before a large number of sections
of the American Chemical society
and at many universities in this
country and abroad. Besides being
the author of several wellknown
texts in chemistry, he has written
popular books and articles.
Because the dates for meetings
of the two organizations coincided,
the general meeting at Which
Holmes will speak will serve for
both organizations.
Preceding the lecture, the Ne
braska Academy of Sciences will
hold a dinner at 6 p. m. in Ellen
Smith hall. Members of the Ne
hra.ska section of the society may
attend.

WAR BONDS
"Build for Tomorrow wth your
purchase of War Bonds today."
Farmers are taking extra good care
of their farm Implements. They
can't buy them today. But with
War Bond savings they'll be able
to buy new farm equipment when
the peace comes.
Farmers are helping In the war
effort by the production of food. But
increased Income should go Into War
Bonds and Savings, not scarce, high
priced consumer goods. Buy more
end more War Bonds with your in
creased profits today. You've Done
Your Bit, Now Do Your Best.

(Continued from page 1.)
"The Queen's attendants, poor
souls, are selected
For a very definite reason.
Theirs never the honor of Mor
tar Board.
Appeasin', or treason this sea
son?" We still frighten every Coed who
ever Counseled by the maddening
pacing of the Mortar Boards.
"The incumbent Mortar Boards
hike aimlessly about,
Sorority voices echo o'er the
mall,
Prospective Mortar Board
shiver and wait,
The least influence they have,
the harder they fall.
"The Mortar Boards are
masked. Aye, 'tis true,
Girls wait years for this great
, day,
Only to find that they've worked
in vain.
Mortar Boards are idols with
feet of clay."
The campus will greet new
Mortar Boards this May, but most
of the Innocents will be greeted
only by an army officer's curt sa
lute rendered in return for Pri
vate Innocent's curtsey. The wish
of last year no longer holds true.
"Oh, to be a Mortar Board,
Now that May is here,
Ob, to be an Innocent,
Dancing, drinking beer."
Men may come, and men may
be drafted, but women's politics
go on forever.
"Ivy Day, oh, Ivy Day,
Long revered tradition,
Day, of joy, day of tears,
Day of coalition."
This classic has inspired thin
poor broken-down Underwood to
type out a verse of its own about
this Ivy Day!
Ivy Day, oh, Ivy Day,
Traditions we revere.
It's sad to state, tradition's
fate
They're shot to hell this year.
