Opportunity Here
For Your Talent
Talent shouldn't go to waste on ihe Nebraska campus. Not
with headlines like these which ran in the last couple of issues
of The Nebraska!: "Schooner Sets Contest Dates;" "Needed,
Jfen" (for University chorus) and "War Show Spotlights Two
Acts of Musical Specialties."
Publicizing itself as a literary magazine with appeal for
everyone, the Schooner finished a successful drive in Decem
ber, and now, with the beginning of '44, it is holding a short
story contest for students on the campus. The prizes, though
worth working for, are not the main incentive in this com
petition. Being a publication of high rank throughout the
nation is of more value, for, in receiving a chance to have
something published in the Schooner, students have a won
derful opportunity to show their ability to more than a
university audience.
Maybe we aren't all soloists, but there are a good many
yho sing fairly well on the campus and Dr. Westbrook is look
ing for them for his Men's Chorus. It may be a little work,
but the fun of singing with a group is unequalled in that field.
The war show is already well underway now. Before the
cast was finished, however, everyone who had any showman
ship talent was given a chance to try out for the show.. An
other place for your talents, students.
If writing, singing, dancing haven't appealed to you well,
business ability and salesmanship may be applied in the sale
war stamps. Or you might show your stamina by collecting
things.
But as for lack of opportunity not on this campus now.
Just stick your two cent3 in and get going.
Dear Writer:
The Editors of ihe POISON HE01STKK wish 1o 11-ank you
for the belated public-ivy, and on behalf of the college for same,
but would also like to say that your so-called story was the best
piece of tongue-in-cheek reporting 1hat any trash basket in a
cheap bar could ever have seen. It positively .stunk. If you
were publicity chief for Der Schoene Adolph he'd certainly lose
his propaganda war. !o back to the "city room' of Pol 1st own
High School's BLAH and learn the rudiments of HOW, WHY,
WHEN, WHERE WHAT etc.
In disgust,
The Editors,
THE POISON REGISTER.
Dear Editors of THE POISON REOISTE:
This is the first bit of fan mail I've ever received. For that,
I want to ihank you. 1 am sorry I seem to have hurt the pride
of the editors of such an endearing paper as THE POISON
REGISTER. But as to the "stinking," could it be the material?
As to the "rudiments of How, Why, When, Where, What . . .
etc.", look in your little; black books and learn that in a feature
Mory the writer (that's I, Bub) can say anything he or she
wishes, no how's, why's, w hen's included.
If you'd signed your names, I'd be glad to repeat them
here for 1he publicity. Until the next POISON RE(HSTi:R,
I remain,
Your "Dear Writer,"
Eleanor Knoll.

To Pass or Not to Pass Or
It Gets You in the End!
BY RUTH KORB.
Sometime, in the life of each
and every college student, must
come final exams. And amongst
the rank and file of the average
student are several extraordinary
so-called human beings who try
to beat the geme of finals in
rather peculiar ways.
First, there is the "Eager
Beaver" type who will rise with
the sun, begin plugging, and dash
madly home from classes to tear
open the pages of any book. Com
plete with glasses and dictionary
and locked door, he will study all
day, and, to the disgust of all,
go to bed when the moon appears,
murmuring smugly to himself.
"The square on the hypotenuse
of a right triangle is equal to the
sum of the square of its leg . . ."
The scene shifts to a typical
room in the dorm, where there
are seven girls, all studying for
an English final. "Society Susie"
has read all of two pages in her
comp book, and exclaims breath
lessly, "Say, young Ermintrude, I
saw the most scandalous thing at
the house the other night . . . Two
people were actually necking on
the front porch, and guess who it
was! ! !" Which immediately be
gins the great discussion, and so
on into the night . . .
And don't forget "Dumb De
lores," who thinks she knows
everything about everything. She's
discussing the finer points of Eng
lish contemporary writers with
three majors, and, on the mention
of George Bernard Shaw, she
looks up with that know-it-all
look, and asks, "Did he go to
school here or something?"
The largest of thes groups is
to be found seated ainund a cir
cular table at any campus dive
consuming glasses of knowledge,
and discussing the good points of
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" or
"Native Son." To them goes the
award, for they didn't know any
thing to start with, and thus end
up with the ame amount of edu
cation. "Listless Louie" is the perfect
example of how not to pass a test.
He picks up a book, looks at the
first page, and lights a cirgarette.
He hears some of the ftHows talk
ing in the next room down the
hall, so he saunters down to give
the boys the finer points about
football. Later, he goes to the
Crib, and sips several coke. When
someone askfl him a question, he
just says, "Huh?" He finally
drags himself home and inevitably
goes to bed. Oh, well, all's well
that ends well, he keeps telling
himself.
The night's tour wouldn't be
complete without entering the do
main of the guy who has the per
fect system worked out. To the
eye of the stranger, the "Crib Kid"
is really giving his all for the ob
noxious time-taker of studying.
Actually, his carefuly drawing are
going on a small piece of white
paper, pocket-size, that is known
in the less intellectual circles as
a "crib note." Arriving in class,
he finds that he is sitting in the
first row, and he manages a
rather weak smile. His-instructor
smiles back, showing all of his
gold plates, and the kid yells,
"What are you laughing at? Your
name ain't Joe! ! !"
To make a long story longer,
we have the "Worry Worm" (just
trying to be different), who goes
into spasms, writhes on the floor
in complete agony, and eventually
ends upon the hill with the ulcer
causing process of worry. He de
velops a big headache, back-ache,
and a broken tooth. Naturally he's
too sick to take the test tomorrow.
