The editor of the Nebraskan is having stomach trouble,
which is just another name for Pub board jitters; the man
aging editors are mentally incapacitated; the news editors
are just plain dumb; so the AWGWAN comes smiling thru!
After begging and pleading for our services for two seconds,
we consented to editorialize the news AWG WAN style, that
is, with "a chuckle after every comma," and "heartburn aft
er every paragraph."
The AWGWAN staff joins with the NEBRASKAN
staff in lamenting the resignation of Elsworth DuTeau as
Alumni secretary. Mr. DuTeau became secretary in 1939,
and has built up the membership of the association from
1,800 to 4,600, in six years. But it is not his successful
work as secretary that makes his position hard to fill.
Neither is it his untiring efforts to to promote and direct
school spirit, although we all will miss the enthusiastic,
powerful man who spoke to us at the bonfire rallys on
homecoming. Nor is it his loyalty to Nebraska, although
there isn't another man in the world that can quote our
outstanding alumni and their class without giving it a
thought.
Elsworth DuTeau has given freely and generously of
his time, loyalty, and enthuusiasm to this university. But
what makes him indispensable is that he is the only mem
ber on campus of the football team that beat Notre Dame!

The class bell rouses one with
a start, though it seems to have
no effect on the Instructor who
is apparently under the illusion
that it would be your choice to
sit and listen all day, and after
keeping the class an extra five
minutes, he makes an assignment
that would hold the Marines up
for weeks. Benignly beaming at
the class "brain," he backs in a
Leslie Howard manner toward his
office.
As for you, you're on the way
down the hall looking for some
one who is in your next class so
that you can find out what the
assignment was for today. Time
in this instance is vital, because
your normal study period for the
class (the ten-minute interim)
has been cut short five minutes,

Pianist, Baritone
Appear in Third
Faculty Recital
Presented In the season's third
faculty recltaal, pianist John
Blythe and baritone David Foltz
last Sunday appeared before Lin
coln recital-goers.
Opening the program with
Beethoven's "Waldstein Sonata,"
Mr. Blythe also played two Cho
pin etudes, the first .being "Etude
in E Major," and the second,
"Etude in C Minor." The pianist
concluded with a Spanish number
by Ravel, a gloomy "Fairy Tale"
by Prokofieff and one of Liszt's
Hungarian rhapsodies.
Chooses Schumann.
Mr. Foltz, who has directed the
high school all state music course
for the past five summers, chose
a group of Schumann songs for
his main offering. From Schu
mann's song-cycle, "A Poet's
Love," Mr. Foltz sang four num
bers. Earnest Harrison provided
the accompaniment.
An unusual feature of Mr.
Foltz' selections was the perform
ance of a new song by the Amer
ican composer, Ernest Charles.
One of the few concert songs
published during the war,
"Night," was dedicated to all
wives and sweethearts who wait
for their men away at war.
Next week's recital will be the
last in the series, and will be held
at Plymouth Congregational
church where Myron Roberts
will present an organ recital, as
sisted by contralto Mary Berner.

seating arrangement of the class,
you are a sure bet to catch the
fourth or fifth question.
Interesting Personage.
Just when you arcabout ready
to stop the fella in front of you
to get the low-down, end in
teresting personage that you have
had your, eye on all semester,
dashes out of that mystery room
(the ladies lounge) and nearly
knocks you over. After a well
executed recovery, you aid in ad
justing her books (with some mis
givings) and hurriedly engage her
in conversation about the pos
sibility of a future meeting.
She replies that due to her bad
memory about dates, will you
call her the next evening (which
will give her one more, night to
receive a better offer, should
there be one). Thrilled at the
prospect (which you believe to
be a cinch) you swagger down
the hall with her to class. She
makes conversation by asking
what you think of the course, to
which you reply "t'sa pipe" and
upon such utterance, offer up a
small prayer designed to cover
you in the next hour.
At this point you reach class,
and having both reached your
seats as the bell signals the en
trance of the instructor, you turn
around to smile at her. She hard
ly notices you because the opera
tor next to her is under way, and
to whose attention she seems
more than somewhat receptive,
either based on the fact that
he has a car (with tires that will
last to x South Bend and back)
or that he is known as a man for
the girls to watch out for (the
best recommendation any man on
the campus can have) . . . but you
needn't feel too left out of things,
for you hear your name being
called, and though she isn't call
ing it, you know who is.
SNIPE HUNTIN'
JUal
Kith
JIDGE MASON
BY GEORGE MILLER.
What is a snipe?
Why should Jidge Mason be hunting them?
These questions may not have puzzled Nebras
kan readers, but to me they have been a source of
unending bewilderment.
Naturalists say that a snipe is a bird like a
woodcook, but slenderer. It seems that a snipe has
a long bill, very sensitive at the end, which it
uses for probing for food. In addition a snipe
frequents mud and boggy marshes and is highly
prized by huntsmen because of its swift, irregular
flight.
All of this may mean nothing or it may mean
something. To me it emans that if you want to
recognize a snipe you must first learn to recognise
a woodcook and then look for something slenderer.
Perhaps there is some subtle connection between
the name of the column and the zoological fact that
a snipe probes about with a long bill in mud and
marsh hunting for something to eat. This may be
construed to mean that Jidge Mason goes about
delving through dirt, a common term meaning
dirt, hunting for news, which to a Nebraskan
news editor is as essential as bugs are to a snipe.
How Soon?
Columnists are usually proud of the name of
their column, and with such hidden significance as
this column's name seems to have, I am waiting
for the day when the name will be copyrighted
and become exclusive property of the Nebraskan.
But inseparably associated with the name "Snipe
Hunting" is the name of Jidge Mason. Snipe
Hunting by M. A. Cawood would be as strange in
print as would "Husker Highlites' by Jidge Mason.
Returning to a diagnosis of a snipe, I wish to
say that snipe hunts are no longer the rage in Boy
Scout camps, Y. M. C. A. hikes or Campfire Girl
activities. Time was when the accepted procedure
at a vacation camp for juveniles dictated that the
"old boys" initiate their greener companions by
stationing the unknowing lads or lassies out in the
wilderness with a sack and a large stick.
' Casualties High.
As the stripling braved himself for the snipe's
onslaught, his camp-mates, who were supposedly
out driving a snipe toward him, would race back
to their tents or cabins and lie rolling with laugh
ter while thinking of their devilment. Statistics
show that casualties due to frozen or fear-crazed
snipe hunters are still high and many reputable

"Curtain the windows , . . cover all hatches and
port holes." This was suggested by one of the
staff on The Nebraska who is' forced to visit the
good ship frequently. . . We are sewing on them
in our spare time, Miss Meyer, we hope to have
thorn completed soon. . .
Coming down the street each morning, going
against traffic, you will see a group of Navy men
marching in a dubious formation to "chow." We
stop at 14th for the light, and then proceed in
a military manner to the door of the Union.
Marching to breakfast each morning in the crisp
cool air really makes one feel splendid, and we
are all for the idea . . . however we are looking
for someone with authority who is not. . .
Infatuation?
Bill Henderson is seen continually with a lovely
DG. . . Can it be more than infatuation . . . can
we suspect romance? Ask Miss Dunkin. . Quite
frequently seen on the campus is Dick Carpenter,
with pipe in mouth and blonde Carol on his arm. . .
Chi Omega Jeanne Woodworth wants to me.et Joe
Marriot, but she has already met Ed Kamerling
and he has an interesting future planned for her. . .
Jeanne, I predict a confusing semester. . . Pleasing
to look at and attending Ag college is Miss Jan
Adams . . . she has been dating Pete Jernberg, but
this week end an out-of-town friend dropped, in
and Pete was left alone with memories . . . maybe
"memories" was nice looking . . . who knows???
Another week end setback among Navy men was
Sig Nu pledge George Martin and Becky Allen . . .
another out-of-towner, and George was left on the
arms of . . . shall we say . . . fate. . . Cribbing to
gether at 1 o'clock yesterday were Ed Healey and
Mary Lou Bohmer. . . If either of them were skip
ping class, It was 4:00 o'clock.
Plenty more news, but no more space, so until
paper time again, here's to smooth sailing. . .
insurance companies refuse to deal with children
who intend to go to a summer camp".
The foregoing does not mean a great deal, but
since a column should leave the reader with a
domination impression, let the writer emphasize the
difference between a snip and a woodcock is that
a snipe is slenderer. Jidge Mason can inform you
of the amount of difference in the girth of a wood
cock and a snipe if you're interested.
