Mary Helen Thonm HI SINK STArFV Anointant RimlnrM Manager in Vfartr., Sylvia Bernetii Coeds Should Lead Our Cheers Rod Sliindo did a swell job leading cheers t the game yesterday. Hut he didn't have enough help. We mean other cheerleaders. There weren't enough of them, and, according to the number who ap peared at tryouts. there aren't enough inter ested men in school who can make np the num ber necessary to lead cheering at games. Therefore, we need coed cheerleaders. Nebraska is now a predominantly mom en's college. Women form the largest part of the civilian enrolment. So, why shouldn't they be represented in this as in other activities? Answers that it would be an undignified display of femininity seem rather old-fashioned, considering the fact that the coeds make up most of the student audience at llusker contests, that they do a good job of helping at the rabies, and that they are up holding the widespread reputation of the CN band by taking the men's places. Women have taken over men's places in everything else, why not in this, a minor ac tivity, it is true, but one which takes up an equally small amount of valuable time.. As long as we have football games, as long as uni versity authorities consider it fitting to send a team onto the field, the women should be al lowed to take the part they want. Quotable Quotes When internal combustion lab began to pall on them recently, a couple of V-12 seniors at M. I. T. walked outside, pulled out their sliderules and stop-watches and amused them selves by calculating the walking cadence of female passersby. They also clocked a couple of army officers at 119.5 steps per mimite. This figure compares favorably with the regulation 120.

They hope to be out some time in January. Happy day! Lt. CHET BOWERS, Phi Psi graduate of '41.. formerly with the ski troops in Washington state, has been transferred to the Army Air Corps. He has just received his wings at Santa Anna, Calif., and Is back on the campus enjoying a ten-day graduation Jeave. Michael The next time little characters go around cutting off last paragraphs to this column there's going to be several big pools of blood over m the rag office. Of course after the last edition it's been threatened that if another col umn came out there 'd be little pieces of me from 14th street to the house. Also there have been several false accusations as to the want to know real bad just eome around and ask me; I'll be glad to answer "yes." Who's Going to Be It? As it seems there will probably be an elec tion sometime before next June," the question has arisen as to who will be head of the Coun cil. There's nothing wrong with a girl leader if she has any conception of how the whole campus is set-up. Only one girl now on seems to have the knack for such things. Also a man might be named as head. This of course depends upon the Seniors-at-Largo who are elected. At present there are prboably ihree men very capable of handling the assign ment. The idea of no experience on the Coun cil should.be thrown out.. Obviously none of the present holdovers know a great deal about it. That might be wrong, but I .don't think that they were looking at the pictures while scanning the Constitution during the first two meetings!! Who you elect in alout two weeks may very easily determine whether the Council will continue next year. Calendar Pages By Herb Norman People who don't know have ac cused feature writers of snoozing on their typewriters and thereby gaining a column of copy while resting and picking up dirty marks on the forehead. Let us as sure you that it can be even sim pler than that One may have an attack" while playing with his moustache, telephoning, or rarely, while thinking. Certain recipient for the honor of wording while under the influence of a double vitamin cocktail laced with cut ting oil is the unknown writer in "Esquire's Date Book" who listed 365 excuses for a party from which we dazedly extract. You who would be escapists take heed lest you escape from yourselves. After January first, which, in cidentally, is Happy Hangover Day, you may forget by celebrat ing the fact that "Today tne sun reaches its closest point to the Earth." The fourth was when the OPM was working on a rubber rationing program, and on the sixth we noted Swap Day. A day for weeping was the fifteenth, annuating the time in London when beer became scarce, but this cannot be eclipsed by the twenty- fifth when a soiree was in order for the initiation of girdle-rationing. Many will be said to know- that Ann Shirley began suit fori seems Society Nebraskana may have few tra ditions, but one that is in the making is "Turnpike on Saturday night" where all the guys take their best gals and shag about for a bit. Doing some shagging this week end were Joy Laune, Gamma Phi, and Steve Cole, ATO. Music lovers or just- -well, any way, Leota Sneed, Gamma Phi, and Bob Thatcher, Acacia, took in the concert Friday night. From both California and Ne braska comes the information that Clarice Marshall, Gamma Phi pledge, and Dale Wolf, Farmhouse Innocent now with the boys grov eling tn the Camp Roberts' duet, are just a litle ' interested in the welfare of each other. Dale has a, funny little habit, the boys at Rob erts say. He blushes whenever Clarice is mentioned. And Clarice - well Clarice just smiles. It's a friendly enemy romance, dating from a Minnesota-Nebraska foot ball game acquaintance. Gamma Phi Margaret Neumann is happy now. Bill Bryan, AGR. is home on furlough from Fort Sill where he is a mechanics instruc tor. But speaking of Margaret makes me think of Bob Knoll, PBK of last year who now is enjoying his first rest tn weeks. Stationed in Camp Roberta, Calif., with a slug of other Nebraska ROTC men. Bob is now in the hospital with the mumps. And speaking (what, again!) of Bob reminds me of his younger sister Eleanor.

Ready with a witty remark, Romberg was very much at ease thruout the interview. He talks fast but direct with a slight accent that is hidden by his earnestness and facial expressions. Middle Man. Since Susa and Victor Herbert died, exponents of light music, Romberg explained that today there is excellent jazz and sym phony music, but no one to handle the middle part. He is trying to handle the middle part, the light music, and to spread it over the country giving it its due recog nition. yVhile most people wonder what the artist is thinking about while performing, this artist, Romberg, is wondering what the audience is thinking. "I conduct from the side so that the orchestra is in front of me and I can see the audience. I like to watch their expressions and sometimes I pick out a face and think, 'What does that person do for a living?' " Loves Fishing. "Want to know my favorite sport?" he asked before the ques tion was introduced. "Deep sea fishing, ladies, deep sea fishing." "Tell me, how's the school be having these days," he went on to conduct the interview.

"I love good company. I also like food. The average American hasn't the slightest idea what he's eating. He just gobbles up his meal." Romberg likes to talk to the chef and tell him how to season his food. He has absolute pitch and reads music like others read a book. He says, however, that he doesn't wait for a mood, but writes, like jour nalists, to meet a deadline. lO Oinjier .
