Mr. E. RABBIT.
Hey, Bunny Weesner, take your
head out from under that hedge.
I warned you last year that if you
didn't stop pestering the humane
society for a job, that I wouldn't
leave any eggs for you this year.
With the limited supply I have
I must be sure that they go only
to the most deserving kiddies on
the campus.
Now take Lois B. Johnson for
instance. All semester she and
Bob Tangeman have gone for a
walk every night and left carrots
for me under the light post on
18th and R.
No Snap.
You know, being Mr. Easter
Rabbit isn't the snap .that most
people seem to think. I have to
keep my eyes wide open to see
who has worked hard for the
colored eggs I hide all over the
campus each spring. Now perserv
erance is a quality that I admire
and I think that this month's E
for effort ought to go to any
number of coeds who walk tire
lessly every night after dinner
shrieking in ecstacies ' over the
budding trees, the warm spring
.nights and the THOUSANDS of
lieutenants that just arrived.
Ten Annual
Awards Aid
UN Students
The new Miller and Paine
scholarship fund, for the benefit
of Nebraska students, will sup
port ten $100.00 annual scholar
ships beginning with the 1945
46 school year, announces Perry
W. Branch, director of the Uni
versity Foundation.
The scholarships are available
to sophomore students registered
in any school or college in the
university with preference given
students who received Regents'
scholarships for the freshman
year.
Requirements.
In order to receive one of these
scholarships, the student must
have completed one satisfactory
academic year in the univeisity,
must show promise of success,
and in need of financial assist
ance. This assistance, it is hoped,
will relieve the student from the
necessity of working at outside
employment to an extent that
would interfere with his or her
scholastic work.
The Miller and Paine Scholar
ship Fund, Branch said, will pro
vide greatly needed assistance to
some of the better students at the
university and also make it pos
sible for Regents winners to con
tinue their sophomore year with'
out serious difficulties.
UN Radio Speech
Group, Singers
Present Program
Members of the radio speech
department of the university, un
der the direction of William Mor
gan, will take part in a special
Good Friday program to be given
today. Also participating in the

Singers, directed by Arthur E
Westbrook, and accompanied by
Myron Roberts and Ruth Way.
The program, "The Heights of
Golgotha," written and produced
by Ken Stuart of radio station
KFOR, will be broadcast this aft
ernoon from 2:00 until 2:30 p. m.
over KFOR. It will be re-broadcast
tonight at 10:45 p. m.
fcad&A. fyqA.
Why, the other night when Nell
Scott and a few more DCs re
turned from their outing they
brought reports of "ze tall dark
and romanteec" Brazilian air
corps men and since then have
been learning to speak Spanish.
Now don't give up girls, all's
fair in love and the conditions
that exist on the campus at the
present time. I just wish Jerry
Anderson would stop referring to
these fly boys as "rain to parched
earth."

The United States treasury de
partment has extended specipl
recognition to the university for
its first semester war bond sales
which purchased a $1,950 fie-.-
ambulance.

accomplishment," and asked for

conducted," to copy in other
places.
SeUIUgher Goal.
"Proud of the field ambulance
we purchased for $1,950 last se
mester, and proud of the students
who bought it, we're setting ourj-
goal higher this year," stated Miss
Hill. "This spring semester our
aim is a liaison plane, which costs
$3,000. Can we do it again?"
In the field ambulance, which
will go overseas, has been placed
a decal bearing the name of the
donor, the "University of Nebraska."
Boucher Announces Spring Recess
With the announcement of the
dismissal of all university classes
until April 15 made by Chancellor
C. S. Boucher at the 984th annual
convocation, students raced off to
set alarm clocks at 3 a. m., stuff
purses full of paper dollars
wrapped around bricks for gul
lible Lincolnites to kick, and
waste thousands of packages of
matches lighting hotfoots.
"Only the best-trained minds in
the universe can think of pranks
like these to play on their be
loved brethren and sistern,"
Chancellor Boucher stated in his
dismissal speech. "I think that
they should have ample time to
prove their ability in this field."
Another startling announcement
made at the convocation was the
reading of the names of the "Hew
members of Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end. Only
those who have below 65 averages
are eligible for membership and
the other qualifications are too
numerous to mention. It is im
possible at this time to print the
names of the new members, as
The Nebraskan just finished
paying $2,676,398.74 on its last
libel suit. ...

"One morning as I was oing
my daily exercises in the kingdom
of Angri-Shal, I chanced to
notice a line of people forming in
the square just outside my win
dow. Little guessing what was
going on, I joined the line. Not
until I reached the cigaret counter
of Walgreen's drugstore did I
realize my mistake. N-n-now I
c-can never g-g-go back to my-my
h-h-h-h-oooommmme!" he said,
simply.
Finally shutting off the record
of the tremendous applause which
followed this simple speech, Mr.
J. (you figure it out from there)
smilingly withdrew amid a bar
rage of spring vegetables. Slipping
back for a few last words, he
complimented the students on
their fine victory gardens.
