Proponents of this proposal argue that the War Council, operating under a new name but retaining its present or ganizational set-up, would make an excellent agency to sponsor, coordinate, and supervise general campus projects and activities (such as the recent miniature peace confer ence) which do not fall under the specific jurisdiction of any existing campus group. There is much merit in this proposal. The War Council, organized under some such name as All-Campus Activity Council, could fill a useful role in the postwar university, serving as general overseer of many worthwhile projects which might otherwise go begging for lack of a sponsor. Such projects as the miniature peace conference, mock na tional political conventions, student polls and question naires, various campus drives these and many others could be sponsored and supervised by such a council. There are, however, several important conditions under which the revamped War Council would have to operate if it were to justify a place in the activities of the postwar university. First, the council could not be allowed to in fringe on the peacetime activities of any existing campus organizations. For example, homecoming decorations, now supervised by the War Council, would revert to the inno cents Society, the prewar sponsor. Second, the council would have to sponsor a sufficient number of projects to justify its existence. A mock political convention every four years and an occasional campus poll would not be enough. Many continuing, worthwhile proj ects would be necessary. Third, it would be necessary for the council to operate more or less under probation for a year, in a sort of "test run." This year of experimental operation, under the care ful scrutiny of the Student Council, would give the re vamped War Council a chance to prove its merit, show it self worthy of existence as a permanent campus organiza tion. . If the War Council can meet these conditions, reorganize itself to play a useful role in the peacetime university, it deserves to take its place as a permanent campus organiza tion once the war ends. LETTERIP Headquarters, ASTP University of Nebraska Lincoln, Nebraska Gentlemen: Several weeks aero I wrote to the editor of the Cornhusker, asking whether it would be possible for him to send me a copy of the Cornhusker. Not receiving any reply up to this time, I am writing to ask you if you could furnish me with a copy of Volume 38, 194 Cornhusker. I am particularly anxious to have a copy of this book as my son, Thomas Cobb, attended the university for nine months in the ASTP and lost his life when the transport he wras on sunk in the English Channel on Christmas day. Please advise me if yon can obtain a copy of the Cornhusker for me and the price so that I can send the money at once. Awaiting your reply. Very truly yours, Rose Cobb Mrs. K. R. Cobb) (Editor's note: If anyone has a copy of the 1944 Cornhusker he would be willing to sell, bring it to Charlotte Hill, business man ager of the Cornhusker. She will pay $5 for it.) Dear Diary: If your pages are a little water-soaked, it's only because the water in the pan splashes a bit now and then my feet are killing me. I iust got home from a rendez vous in perdition. "I" am an aristrocratic waiter who works within hallowed walls of the Crib. Oh, Diary! You could understand how I feel if you knew some of these U.N. coeds. Tonight, I was meandering down the aisle in deep thought when the floor met me half way down. Glowering above me was a huge Amazon with j'ellow and gold hair (her peroxide had streaked). "Get up, you lout, and fetch me a cold glass of water," she scowled. "Cowering, I looked in blank amazement on her. When I had recovered sufficiently and brought the water, the Amazon and her three cohorts huskily said, all at the same time see if V ...- Mail Clippings Pat CkomberUn, Ct BUD BIERMAN, Phi Gam, is back on th campus, arriving from Great Lakes, where he is a hospital apprentice, second class.

Just then another UN coed (?) got off her broom. She demanded that we connect the juke box she was to delicate to pick up the cord and put it in the socket. Yes, she was delicate! She had eyes as big as saucers with cups underneath to match. Her attire was completed with suede shoes swayed over at a 45 degree angle. I had just spun around in three complete circles trying to please everyone. Someone screamed, "Bring me my saucerful of cream! Another water! coffee! coke! water! water! coke!" When I finally came back, here I sat in my room, teet m not water, tears soitiy failing down my cheeks with low sobs com ing: from my heavy breast. Oh, Diary! If only they would understand it would make life so much easier. I honestly think I do quite well considering the sad, sleepy speci man of manhood that I am. If I could only remain conscious, dear diary, do you know what I would tell those other 10 percent of the UN girls we see so much of ? I would say. (Ahem.)

Wandering in to work Tues day afternoon, the staff was met by a steady dizzle coming from eight different spots in an al ready cracked and discolored ceil ing. Somebody stuck a waste basket under one drip no, not Wally Becker. A can from the employes dining room went un der another stream. Editor An dersen doned his rain eoat, the business staff screamed that they couldn't awim, somebody else ran for "Mac," the Union janitor. The water poured like Morton's salt, the Awgwan desk floated out the door and the Nebraskan staff cheered. Phyllis Johnson let out a plaintive "Blub" in protest. Pat Lahr ran in, surveyed the situation and fainted. The Corn husker rowed in to work in a converted ice cream cabinet. The Language Films Include Mexican Towns, Resorts. Three films, sponsored weekly by the Modern Language depart ment, are scheduled for Thurs day at 4. Walter Abel narrates one of the films, "Guadalajara," the story in technicolor of Mexico's second largest city. Second of the col or films will be on "Cuernavaca," a week-end resort. The film is narrated by Tyrone Power and will include pictures of Taxco, the silver mining town. Orson Welles tells the story of "Mexico City." The city is shown In technicolor with views of ca thedrals, parks, markets and fiestas. Crib waiters tripped in to see what God hath wrought. Some body remembered that water was running through a pipe behind the bar in the crib, and said pipe had no end consequently said water was flooding the Nebraskan of fice. Somebody shut the water off. The janitor cleaned up. The Awgwan's dampened spirits re vived. Jidge Mason took off her bathing suit. The managing edi tor yelled "reporter! Noah's Ark became an office once again and things were back to normal. Only the shivering staff remained du bious with their eyes fastened on the cracked ceiling, for they Noah it will happen again.

Mac left Miller with the express purpose of organiz ing his own outfit and was im mediately successful in setting up an above-average orchestra. Now, after only three years in business, Hal Mclntyre's band is a "name" card at any theater or ballroom in the country. One thing in Hal's favor at the present time is his long-term con tract with Victor recordings . . . and the quality of the music he is putting on those discs, since the lifting of the record ban Vic tor has released six sides by Mc lntyre. His seventh and eighth sides are on this week s release list, and they are excellent, prob ably the best he has done yet. 'Sentimental Journey.' A slow instrumental version of the haunting "Sentimental Jour- is the "A" side of the plat ter, a side which features the per a which Asa Harris melody is an swered by the band members in vocal chorus.

Both tunes are given a light bounce tempo as their ve hicle. Billy Daniels takes the solo vocal in "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time" while Moore Should Care" and "Please Don't Say No," a fine pair of ballads. Bonnie Lou Williams and the Sen timentalists sing "I Should Care" while Freddie Stewart sings on the flipover. Both songs are from the MGM picture, "Thrill of a Romance." Lena Horne disced Duke El lington's excellent new ballad, "I Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues" for Victor with "As Long As 1 Live" as the coupling. Lena's in terpretation of the Ellington song is top-notch. Horace Henderson conducts the orchestra on the record. King Sisters. A terrific value in records is the King Sisters' platter of "Candy" and "Saturday Night," two of the best ballads on the current best-seller parade.
