Friday, April 7, 1944 THE NEBRASKAN Christ Will Rise Again (Ed. Note: Clyde Martz edited the Daily Nebraskan in the spring of 1941. He is now a lieutenant, junior grade, in the navy. Each year, the Nebraskan reprints his Easter edi torial here, in part which is a condemnation of the evil at work in the world and the promise of a resurrection of the good.) A wicked world, torn with jealousies, greeds and re ligious strife crucified Christ. It crowned him with thorns and with laughter decried the immortal semblance of the forces of good. It placed him in a grave, saying his way o life was not for its people, and let greeds and tyrannies tri umph throughout the then known world. Three days later, however, while the faithful were stil mouring his loss, and while the greedy were not yet recov ered from their acts of crucifixion, the "good" was resur rected, and in new glory filled the hearts of man with a never to be forgotten message. "Christ gave his life that men might live. He arose from the dead, showing men that good will triumphs over wrong, and that some day the Kingdom of God will be erected on earth. Men on the battlefields of Yugoslavia and Greece, men enslaved by totalitarian rule, families homeless because of war from the air pressed against the innocent, and families starving in Belgium, Poland and France. All these men of every denomination and every way of life, will cry out in their hearts for fulfillment, of that message. Despite the suppression, a suppression on three conti nents, and despite the skepticism and doubt, men today everywhere are praying for essentially the same things that this Easter message symbolizes. They are praying for a resurrection. A resurrection, they cry out for, where good, love, and humanity will crowd out of man s mind the hate. the jealousy, the greed that have brought forth this war. Than they live on with the faith that that resurrection will come. Q As the Friday of the Crucifixion is followed by Resur rection Sunday, so out of this period of distress and fear will arise a new day. Christ symbolizes for men everywhere that new day. And that Christ will rise again. LETTERIP Dear "Rag": Remember those brave souls from Area and Language and Advanced Engineers who departed from the land of Huskers with a crescent moon overhead and singing Ihere Is No Place Like Nebraska" none too hardily let's see now, that was back last Tuesday after some passionate farewells. Well, we're all in the 44th Infantry Division now- either as straight infantry men or riflemen. A few of the luckier souls managed to make field artillery or signal corps and a few others have already transferred to the fourth Armv and to various camps in Texas. "You men will all get technical assignments which will stem directly from vour training here at Nebraska." Well, that's what we were told but it didn't.work out that way. It seems that the 44th needed infantry and artillery replace ments more than some poor Joe who plays tricks with his slide rule or can spout irregular verbs in German. So the brave little group was spread through the vast wilderness of the mighty 44th, a few technical and linguistic experts to each eomnanv. We all join our respective outfits tomorrow to take in the highlights of the tail endof the famous Louisiana ma neuvers after three days in Camp Polk in which only the nrivilesed few managed to sneak out even to see the camp itself. What's more we won t ever see Polk again because tne division just doesn't live here any more. As soon as maneu- . a . . m 1 11 A " vers are over the whole darn kit ana Kaoooaie wiu entrain for Kansas where the division will be stationed for a short time. So gals, we may be stein ya soon after all. As a mat ter of fact, plans a e already being laid for some tremendous three day passes back to Lincoln as soon as we can fake it everyone spends half their time down here reminiscing about ibe wonders of Nebraska why we even have boys from other units who lived in frat houses and never got re stricted believing that they'd rather have been at UN. Oh, it's wonderful to be in the Army back to the dear old mess kits and living in tents. It rained today. The tents leak. There are or.lv candles to write by this typewriter is rather an old anachronism. And you should see the nice shiny new field equipment we got the boys spent the afternoon roll ing infant, y pack without any books or corn cribs stuck inTcuz we'uns gotta carry them things. To give you an idea what the weather is like. Camp Polk went into summer sun tans Saturday. There was snow on the ground when we left Nebraska. The bovs want me to send on a message to all profs "Having a wonderful time wish you were here instead." Love and kisses, Chis. ..,, mt- T trtttt was rrved frm tit.

There are other women who have carried the Allied cause too far. for they simply must have a hat that resembles that of a Ru&Maa Coc&ack. Ttn type X bat always makes a hit in the movies, if you are not sitting in back of one. . Only a- more sophisticated type would even try to wear one successfully. It consists mainly of a high brim, which oUow j the wearer's bead on around to the back. On reaching this far-away point, it may take the shape it a spear, a box, or keep on traveling. To say that it definitely adds height to the woman would be an underrtattrneiit. Hell and Higli Water By Les Clotfelty Spring has sprung, although by the time this column goes to press, we fully expect a blizzard, chinook, monsoon, or hurricane. Anvhoo. sDrine is here for the time being, and we are feeling sweet and just oozing with the milk ot human Kindness, iwen tne Mortar -Boards who slaved late in their hide-out Tuesday night are escaping com ment today. There is so little going on that the in domitable Donaldine has crawled back in her desk drawer apartment for the week. No scandal, no dirty deals, no food for com ment just spring and weary coeds and men, and very weary profs and deans. We can get along without gas and picnics, but spring vacation is a horse of a different col or. Since most of the army has gone, we can't think of any good reason why the university doesn't call it a day and take off to the hills for a short snort of relaxation. Maybe the flowers on the coeds heads would perk up and look less like weeping willows.

He was god of sleep for the Greeks, or the Romans, or somebody we had back in high school Latin. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Aphrodite, and all the rest of the old deities have had their share of attention. But good old Morphy is a for gotten man. Except by us. We love him. Most college students are his fervent fol lowers, even if they haven't ever shaken hands with the guy. We said something the other night about fluffing studying and crawling into the arms of Morpheus. Our room-mate and our room-mate's friend raised eyebrows at this statement until we explained that Morphy was 2,300 years old, lived in the sky, and we couldn't fly anyway.
