Union Confuses
Lady Mail-mart
On Initial Trip
Staff members of the Nebraskan
naa ineir iirsr. experience with a
lady mail carrier Saturday morn
ing. Dressed in the uniform of a
regular mail carrier: slacks, cap,
and all, she brought down to the
Nebraskan office a large, inter
esting looking stack of letters
addressed to the Alumni office.
Pat Lahr had sorted the mail
and returned it to the carrier to
distribute around the building. As
a result the Nebraskan got the
Alumni mail, the Alumni office got
the Nebraskan's letters, and so
Pat Lahr spent several minutes
going in and out, round and about,
upstairs and downstairs in the
Union delivering the mail to the
correct offices. 1
Prize for the most humorous incident of
the day goes to the Thetas. The false alarm
when they thought Dummy Dalthorp was
going to mask P. Chamberlin was definitely
on the funny side. Theta screams of joy
died quickly as Dummy breezed on, leaving
Pat behind. Meanwhile, Jo Martz was cre
ating her own private sensation. She would
light a cigaret, take a puff, then put it hur
riedly out as an MB approached her. When
the MB had passed, she'd light another cig,
only to put it out after a puff. Maybe it
was the pile of butts she tripped over as
she got up. And, up on the stage, the kids
attracted most of the attention as usual.
To the fifteen new big cheeses, we say
congratulations. If they do half as well as
their predecessors at keeping the column
writer supplied with things to write about,
they will be setting quite a record. To the
Delta Gammas, the coliseum janitor an
nounces that they can' come over any time
and pick up the fingernails they chewed off
while they waited for somebody to do some
thing about "Johnny" Johnson. To the
weather man we say "Nuts." To the old
MB's we say that they did a fine job
even Hell and High Water is quite satis
fied with their choices, thank you. And to
everybody in general, it was a grand Ivy
Day!

Do You Plan to Help
in the War Effort
During Vacation?
Decisive action by Allied Military Forces js antici
pated in the near future. Success will depend in no
small part on providing these forces with adequate
materiel. This will require manpower lota of it in
the next few months. And manpower has never been
as scarce as it is right now.
The Man and Woman Power '.hat can be supplied
by university and college men and women in the vaca
tion period is tremendous. Each student will surely
welcome the opportunity afforded by the summer
vacation to make a real contribution to what is hoped
ywill be the final phase of the European War.
Plan to work this summer! Plan to work in Lin
coln! The most vital types of war industries ore op
erating in Lincoln and their need for additional work
ers is increasing daily. A great variety of important
jobs will be available.
