For the Mails
For niiiny months now telephone companies over llie coun
try have )l;ieed als in prominent places iiskiii? that civilians
make as few lung-distance telephone calls as possible, and that
Ihey NOT call between the hours of 7 and 10 in the cvtning
unless absolutely necessary.
The request was made because of the huge amount of
military and official transactions which must be carried on by
telephone, and because men in the armed services should be
piven first chance at calling home. They have only the hours
between 7 and 10 to call, as a general rule. Also, there art
only a limited number of trunk lines available at all times
.from city to city, and new ones can not now be added because
of material shortages.
University students should cooperate with these officials
vho make the requests. Up to now many of theni have been
making more long-distance phone, calls in certain halls than
ever before. Thinking it over, Ihey will probably realize that
to make any not absolutely essential is unpatriotic, and one
part of their war effort should be in cutting down.
The mails may be slower, hut they won't keep a soldier,
perhaps one on the campus, from talking to his home folks
i'or the only time in possibly six months.
Keep 'Em Entertained
It was announced from the dean of women's office today
that hour dances of the sororities and organized houses would
continue.
On Friday nights, coeds will dance with fraternity men,
and on Saturday with the soldiers. This is a good idea, from
two angles. First, there aren't enough men on the campus in
civilian clothes to furnish partners for all the hour dances,
hut those that are here should not be neglected. Second, as
we pointed out before, the acceptance of the soldiers as pavt
of our campus life, and their participation in campus affairs,
excluding extra-curricular activities, is only right and should
be encouraged.
Answers to questions asked the army students stationed
here indicate that most of them like to dance, and that they
want to meet girls. Also, they like small enough dances where
they really get acquainted. Saturday night hour dances are a
pood way of bringing this about. Of course other forms of
entertainment should not be neglected for dances lasting only;
an hour or two, but this is a good start.

UN is well represented at West Point, N. Y.,
with Col. BIFF JONES, Husker grid coach two
years ago, who is in charge of physical training
there. LAWRENCE JONES, Biff's son, is a sec
ond year, or "yearling," there this year, while
Phi Psi JAMES TOWN SEND is doing; his last
year, and is known as a third year man, the terror
of the plebes.
Phi Psi brother JOHNNY COOK is a plebe this
year, having entered with the June class. Aside
from starving to death during meals when third
year men put him thru the paces, and bracing, and
other such "Hell Week" tactics, he likes it. But
will all brothers and friends send candy bars,
Chesterfields, and gum, please!

Pfc. DAVE MARVIN, BMOC last year, has been
transferred from Camp Roberts, Calif., from the
infantry to Stanford U. with an ASTP unit, spe

according to Dave. FRED STAFFORD, graduate
of '42, is also stationed at Stanford, in the heart
of sorority row.
The ASTP unit is quartered in an ex-sorority
house in the heart of sorority row. From all re
ports, the army is right in there pitching!

"Usually five but none this
year." "Usually three or four;
none this year." When asked how
many assistants they had in their
respective departments, these were
the comments of D. D. Whitney,
head of the zoology department,
and of L. W. Lancaster, head of
Toly Si.
Such conditions exist also in the
classics dppartment where there
are usua.y two or three assist
ants, according to C. G. Lowe.
"We need about four or five
assistants in the history depart
ment. It seems they will have to
be underlgraduates," said .Dean
Oldiather.
In the psychology department,
D. W. Dysinger admitted he had
a couple of under-graduates as
assistants. Fearing pressure on
them, however, he refrained from
naming them. There are no grad
uate assistants.
By next Monday or Tuesday the
botany department will have one
graduate assistant, Miss Ellen
Zink. She received her masters
last year here at Nebraska and
is working on her doctor's degree.
Miss Zink will take the place of
the usual two or three assistants
in the botany department .

So give your pen real war

Solv-x ends most pen trou

It flushes away the gum and

It prevents the corrosion of
metal parts and deterioration
of rubber caused by highly
