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.

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.

People who don't know have ac

for the honor of wording while
under the influence of a double

"Esquire's Date Book" who listed
365 excuses for a party from

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.

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

Ing in London's Picadilly theater.
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. "And how

is Nebraska's football team?"
"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.
