First Love Flag
Given to Boucher
An army custom of long stand
ing was observed last Tuesday
when the first flag to fly over the
Love Manorial Library was pre
sented to Chancellor C. S. Boucher.
It is customary for the first flag
which is -flown over a military
station to be preserved as an item
of historical interest.
Captain Robert E. Adams, who
made the presentation to Chan
cellor Boucher, personally raised
the flag on the day on which the
Army Specialized Training Pro
gram took over the library.
The flag has been turned over
to the staff of the old library for
safekeeping at the present time.
It will be placed on display in one
of the showcases in Love Library
as soon as the building is turned
back to the University.
Girls or Giraffes, Blank Walls
Or Boogie Which Do You Like?
By JERRY LARSON, Field House.
When I came into the army, I
said to myself: "Well, Larson, old
boy, it's a gun for you now get
out there and shoot those nazis to
hell and gone." However, after
the doctor had examined me, he
shook his head sadly, murmured,
''They must be scraping the bot
tom of the barrel," and put me in
limited service.
As soon as I arrived at UN, I
bought myself two large Nebraska
penants which are now reverently
folded in the bottom of my bar-
racks bag. At last I was a college
boy oh joy!
The minute I arrived here I
started taking tests, and I have
been taking tests ever since. Four
minute tests, one hour tests, all
kinds. I have taken tests in chem,
math, physics and I'll never forget

the test I took about a month
ago that wanted to know how

home. There was one other test

'C Out-Hustles
Heslcr's Team
On Court, 34-23
Unveiling a powerful last-half
attack, Co. C's quintet overcame
B company's halftime 13-12 lead
to win a hard fought ball game,
34 to 23, Wednesday night in the
coliseum. The first half was nip
and tuck all the way, with the
Engineers having the edge. Paced
by Jessen, Brady and Schuer,
they had a four point margin at
the 15 minute mark, but the
Smithmen, led by Cliff Lind and
Milt Dobrer, narrowed the gap to
one point at the half. Both teams
on offense were clogging up the
center so that neither team was
getting in for short shots.
A second ' five, composed of
dents, started the second half for
Company C and gave a good ac
count of themselves by playing
steady ball in the opening min
utes of the session. When the
starting quintet returned, bene
fiting from a rest, they opened
up an offensive which soon gave
them the lead over the tiring B
company men. Working a fast
creak several times, and utilizing
Cliff Lind in the pivot spot, the
winners had a slight lead midway
thru the stanza, and went on to
win going away. '
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER
BE, A LIGHTHOUSEKEEPER
OR A BARTENDER?
Now don't you think these tests
are getting a little too personal?
I don't mind giving the answer to
the square root of four, or finding
the velocity of a small stick of
wood in a high wind but when
they ask me which would I rather
be, a lighthousekeeper or a bar
tender well, I think that's going
too far, and, anyway, how should
I know? .
Here's another thing: Since
we have to take tests, why don't
they try to brighten things up for
us? What have we to gather in
spiration from? We don't have
coeds to look at during tests; as
a matter of fact, the only thing
we have to inspire us is four blank
walls! It's no wonder we feel
so blank during tests. Something,
anything would help. (I guess it's
too much to ask for some boogie-woogie.)

Field House to Take on Air Corps
Five in Coliseum Tomorrow Night
The Field House and Air Corps
fives will take to the floor of the
Coliseum at 7:15 tomorrow night
in what is certain to be a spirited
struggle. Victory for either side
will be a face-saving event. The
Field Housemen are still licking
the wounds of their 28-27 defeat at
the hands of Hesler's Hustlers a
fortnight ago, while the Air Corps,
handicapped by an ever-changing
personnel,, will be gunning for
their first win over the ASTP.
The Student Union dance is
scheduled to begin shortly after
the game, and it is hoped that this
will enable many to attend who
would otherwise find it inconven
ient. Dates are invited, and Alfred
Laurant's German Band will be on
hand to answer musical requests
