In Times of Stress
We Need Religion
Religion on the campus is a subject taken up once or twice
a year at all church night, and perhaps at Christmas or Easter
and left a dormant institution for the rest of the time. Except
for the YW and Yf activities, which should have even wider
support than they do, religious work is ignored for the most
part by a large share of the students.
No wide program is carried on throughout the year. In
terest in religious work is not kindled by any well-publicized
group as it should be. Students too often say, "I haven't
been to church in ages. Maybe I'll go next Sunday." But
when that day comes put it off for a couple of weeks longer,
with no special reminder that religion is an important part
of their life and ought not to be neglected.
Especially in these times we need some sort of emotional
and spiritual relaxation, a trust in God that makes for greater
stability. People always turn to religion more in war time,
but on the campus no such trend has been noticed as yet.
Students themselves are to blame, yet it is also the fault
of those groups who should lead religion on the campus;
they should see that Christianity is put forth as an issue to
all coeds and men. Perhaps if the Religious Welfare Council
came out of. its obscurity this lack could be helped.
Comment
Whv? does one person always take all the credit when
it is due" a whole group? ... do people ever waste time getting
angry about politics, when they only last two weeks at best?
. . . can't we all be as cheerful and likeable as Barbara Arnold?
Welcome back to the RO boys who arrived from Camp
Roberts last week ... and to those who will be coming this
week. . .
E. Stanley Jones will be in Lincoln this week for a long
series of lectures and discussions. . . He should be worth hear
ing again. . .
Major Elliott, UN Grad,
Fights in African Campaign
. . . Studies Farm Methods
Participating In some pf the
toughest fighting of the war has
been Major Glenn F. Elliott who
received his degree at Nebraska
in 1940. Major Elliott landed with
the initial American forces in
North Africa on November 8. He
was 'a member of the American
forces at Bizerte and from there
he witnessed the surrender of the
German forces in Africa. He is
now stationed in Sicily.
A graduate of the college agri
culture, Major Elliott is very in
terested in the farming methods
of the countries in which he has
travelled in the African campaign.
Grapes for making wine was
the principal crop of the part of
Africa he visited. "Most of the
farmsteads were very crude and
dated back to olden times," Major
Elliott wirtes in a recent letter.
"The living quarters, stable,
chicken house, and other buildings
were built in a square with a
courtyard in the center, and the
outside of the buildings formed a
high wall around the whole

Describing the farm labor in
North Africa Major Elliott says,
"Arab labor is used to a large ex
tent on the farms in North Africa.
One type of Arab works on the
farms and roads; the other type
lives in tents made of goat hair,
tends large flocks of sheep and
goats, and roams from place to
place."
"Many, many times," adds
Major Elliott, "my thoughts re
turn to the days spent at the
University of Nebrasak and my
friends there."

BOB ANDERSEN, 42, is stationed with the
Coast Guard in New Caledonia. According to the
fellow in his unit the -Navy has a heart" after all,
because after weeks of hard work on a censored
project, one fine day their officers dumped them
off on a nearby island complete with palms or
whatever they have in the New. Caledonia group,
and gave them free run of the island for the after
noon and night. Not only this, but also provided
each soldier with four bottles of beer.
DAVE ANDREWS, DU last year, is in "boot
camp" at the Farragut, Idaho, Camp Scott.
Long distance reports have it that ANNIE
SHAUM, Kappa last year, and now training Tor
the WAFS in Sweetwater, Texas, was recently
married to a captain in the medical corps. She will
finish her WAF training sometime in December.
EARL CECIL ELOE and ALLEN LINGEN
FELTER were recently graduated with their gold
Navy wings from Corpus Christi, Texas. Eloe was
commissioned an ensign in the Naval Reserve, while
Lingenfelter received his commission as lieutenant
in the Marine Corps Reserve. Other recent gradu
ates of the Corpus Christi Air training center were
ROLAND LEWIS and Alvin Rippen who were com
missioned ensigns in the Naval reserve.

You've probably seen her around the
campus or over at the dorm, and if you've
ever seen her anywhere she's probably speak
ing to you now and giving you that nice smile.
So, "Who is this super-friendly woman?" peo
ple are saying. She's quiet, ef- ,
ficient, easy-going, of average y
height with bright blonde hair
and. blue eyes. But tracking f
her down is not t'f. easiest t j
tning in ine worm. $ ,
Practically any women's
organization can tell you her
name Hetty Lou Simon. Over
at the AWS board meetings
she is a sophomore member and treasurer of
the organization. The Barb Activities Board
for Women also counts her a member, as does
the YWCA. On rally days you'll find her
dressed in the red and white of a Tassel, giv
ing out with the school spirit.
Betty Lou is an art major, but is a little
reluctant to disclose this information to the
casual inquirer, because she says they always
look at her when she answers with that 4 ' Oh-so-you
're-one-of-tliose ! ' ' expression.
Collecting rare cactus is her hobby and
Betty is really "stuck" on it, we gathered by
the way she became so enthusiastic as she
talked about her collection, including smiie
rare plants from South America and Mexico.
They say the early bird gts the worm,
and if "worm" can be construed to mean any
thing desirable, Betty Lou will probably -ret
it, since she is out of bed by 7 a. m. almost
every Saturday morning. This in itself is
enough claim to fame for any one person.

In order to satisfy a need for
reading of a different nature than
students do in connection with
their studies, the university library
has set up a separate section called
the Alcove. The Alcove, which is
located on the south side of the
main reading room of the library,
contains novels, war books, biog
raphies, histories, and other books
of general interest.
New books Are added from time
to time as they are published. It
will be the purpose of this column
to present a short descriptive re
view of two or three of the most
outstanding books of the Alcove
each week. The following Alcove
books are representative of the
type of books found there.
...
"Headhunting in the Solomon
Islands," by Caroline Mytinger, is
the story of the adventures of two
artists who went to the Solomon
Islands to paint portraits of the
natives. John Steinbeck's latest
book. "Bombs Away," tells of six
men whose training welded them
together into a bomber team.
"The Human Comedy," by Wll
Ham Saroyan, is one of the recent
best sellers. It is the story of a
fourteen year old boy named
Homer Macauley, who delivers
messages for the telegraph com
pany in Ithaca, Calif. The story
was recently made into a movie.
"Into the Valley," by John
Hersey, the story of a single com
pany of Marines in action against
the Japs in a minor skirmish on
Guadalcanal.
"Ship's Doctor," by Dr. Rufus
Hooker, tells the story of his four
teen years spent as ship surgeon
and of the million miles he has
traveled.

'Just Like Here9
Shortly after University of Kan
sas freshmen had finished meeting
with their dean, Jim Calkins, Beta,
was seen whipping out of the back
of Fraser hall, one hand grasping
a fistful of hair, eyes frantic, teeth
set. He looked around and shouted
in despair, "My gosh! They've got
ten away!" Turning to an acquain
tance, he explained, ".Those rush
ees they sneaked down the fire
escape and eluded me."
