Expect Change . . .
"For the present, no doubt, the liberal
arts must remain subordinate to a variety
ef vocational training programs indispen
sable to the winning of the war. None of
ur great universities or colleges, however,
has wholly done away with its teaching of
the humanities or abandoned the intention
f reviving this phase of its activities at
the war's end. Changes in teaching methods
may be expected.
"No doubt interest will be focused on new
subjects as a consequence of ur fresh
awareness of the Orient, of Latin America
and of the Soviet Union. But such changes
can be counted upon, to broaden, rather
than narrow, the scope of our intellectual
concern. To meet the problems of the post
war world, men will need above all else to
cultivate a knowledge of themselves."
The Washington Post (ACP).
Hell and High Water
By Les Glotfelty
Comments, comments, comments, that's
all we've been hearing about the latest Uni
Theater play, "Pursuit of Happiness." So
much comment, in fact, that we decided
to part with 55 cents and see what this
thing called "bundling" was all about.
We went Friday night, and the first thing
that caught our attention was the fact that
at least half the churches in Lincoln had
representatives there. Just what they
thought about it remains to be heard, but
the numerous faculty members there were
quite obviously and uproariously enjoying
the whole thine, as were the students. As
to the play itself, it was rare, not just
chuckle-funny, but loud ha-ha-tunny.
Just as an added thought, which may or
may not have anything to do with the pur
suit of happiness, we'd like to make a pro
posal. Since the Innocents aren't here te
do their part on Ivy Day, how about the
TNE's taking over for them in the cere
monies? This illustrious organization couia
certainly cive the Innocents a run for their
money. Maybe they could even, instead of
planting the traditional ivy, bury a mug
and a sprig of mint under the green grass
beside Teachers college.

del, and a' civilian, Gene Hauges,
answered all three questions com
pletely and correctly.
Coeds Bat Out.
After this quartet of brawn and
obviously brains, too, the fairer
sex went to bat. Starting with
Mortar Boards. "Cac" Wells
and Jane Dalthorp, who have both
scholarship and activity recom
mendations, it was discovered that
Karklev was "something in the
House and mad at Roosevelt."
F'senhower was Mediterranean
commander, and both coeds came
within 30.000 of the casualties.
Four more seniors were then
questioned to try and help out the
not so sharp score so far. Each
had a fairly accurate idea as to
the number of casualties and wno
Earkley. However, Roberta Da
vison and Louisa Anderson, both
of Teachers CoUee-e. voted for
ever-popular Eisenhower for allied
commander. Jean Swarr, arts and
rciences, picked Lord Louis
Mountbatten, and Flo Scott t Mor
tar Board senior award winner)
chose Englishman "Spotts."
Journalism Scores.
Marylouise Goodwin of the jun
ior class was the one redeeming
feature of the survey. Bevng- a
journalism major (which means
reading; the news) she hit the first
two questions on the head, and
missed the number of casualties
by only 25,000. Myra Colberg, also
of journalism college, declared
that Alexander was the com
mander in question and 500,000
the number of casualties.
Dunce-cap wearer for the jun
iors was Janet Krause, aits and
rscienc!?, who made Barkley a news
commentator, Nimitz or Clark the
allied commander, and 800,000 the
number of casualties. The war de
partment should be interested in.
that. Running Jan a close second
for booby prize were Ginny Mc
Culla, who picked Nimitz as com
mander and optimistically dec-ided
there were 40,000 casualties, and
Kat Dttweiler of Teachers, who
teasoned things out in a mannr
nothing but logical. Said she.
'What's the larrest number I
know the, size of the national
debt!" She then did some finger
tip mathematics and came out
with 2,000,000 as the number of
casualties. Mary Russel of arts
and sciences, along with the
above-mentioned juniors, had
Bark ley as speaker of the House.
Sophomores Flunk.
In the sophomore class, DeMaris
Morton of bizad, foiled the theory
that bizad students are more in
telligent, by pronouncing Eisen
hower the commander, Barkley
the head of the senate, and 10,000
the number of casualties.
Jeanne Guenzel and Irene Han
sen, both arts and sciences sopho
mores, gave another vote to the
"Eisenhower for commander" club,
and estimated the casualties re
spectively at "one-fourth of the
men in the army," and 6,000,000.,
No wonder the AST was recalled
into the troops.
From the school of music, Le
ota Sneed had a sum total of zero,
although she did come fairly close
to the number of casualties.
Freshmen Indefinite.
Freshmen coeds were quite in
definite about everything in gen
eral. Clarice Marshall took the
prize for her down-trodden class,
saying that Eaikley was "secre
tary to the president or some
thing," Andrews or Anderson the
allied commander, and casualties
over a million.
Pat Longacre and Grace Edling
chose Eisenhower and McArthur
as Mediterranean commander, and
Grace thought the casualties
around 3,000,000.
Most eoiTeetly answered was
Berkley's identity. Eisenhower
shouM run for president after all
the votes he got for Mediterranean
commander. Only one ccx-d knew
the correct answer to that one.
Estimatf-s on casualties weren't
so bad, although answers ran from
10,000 to 6,000.000.
All in all, the women may be
getting educated, but in what, is
the question. The fact that the
answers rot better with the sen
iors indicates something gooa, buti
the whole record is nothing toJ
scream "Hallelujah" about. i

for three years in Paris, making
frequent trips to Italy. Returning
to New York, he was employed
by the association for the Improve

Here he learned much about peo

future positions as art editor of
Vogue, staff member of the Morn

Interested in Cartooning.
In these early days, Robinson
was interested mainly in cartoon
ing. Not until much later did he
begin his oil paintings and teach
ing at the Art Students' league in
New York.
Robinson is now on the staff of
the Colorado Springs fine arts
center, and has painted "Colorado

books in the library's alcove.
The name "101 Ranch" is re
membered as the name of a great
wild west show. To Americans it
represents the color and romance
of a vanishing frontier.
Famous as showmen and cattle
producers, the Miller family pre
served within their 100,000 acre
empire the western traditions
through Indian ceremonials, ro
deos and contests in horseman
ship. Ellworth Collings in his book
101 Ranch tells the story of the
life and activities of the Miller
clan in the founding of the 101
outfit, how it became an empire,
and how it eventually fell.
Currey Top Ranking Artist
With art and artists in the fore
it ound during the month of March,
a current book of interest on that
subject is "John Steuart Currey's
Pageant of Ameiica" by Lawrence
E. Schmeckebier.
John Steuart Currey has already
achieved a secure place as one of
the top ranking artists in present
day America. He is one of the
group of middle west artists hav
ing been born in Kansas of a long
line of Scotch-Irish farmers. This
background is shown in his choice)
of subject matter which is the j
farm life that he loves. Currey's I
background, however, has been
varied. He has been a railroad sec

story of John Currey's life and an
evaluation of his works is pre
