Page 4 Hereby Firmly Resolve That . . Aw, Nuts Too Much Bother! BY ELLIE SWANSON. Approximately eleven days ago, the New Year was ushered in, and with it . . . countless resolutions. If you were one of the well-mean ing souis wno connaentiy ground vour teeth, narrowpd vnnr pvpc and solemnly swore that there wouia De some changes made, now is a good time to take inventory of your steadfastness. Resolutions may be divided into tnree aiiinite groups. The resolu tions you are able to keep for two weeks, the ones which are invin cible for three weeks, and the ones which, by sheer grit and iron will, are sustained fo ra solid month. Coeds Stand Firm. Coeds have shown remarkable self-mastery in the art of stand ing firm to their yearly promises. As a general rule their resolutions run along a common course . . . men. First, cut down dating . . . no more than two an evening. And, if you must be pinned, try and limit it to one sucker at a time. Professors say it is an abso lute necessity to set aside fifteen minutes each evening from the phone booth for studying, but this is, of course, optional. The most common item on a college girl's resolution list is the conservation of money. Rumor has it that if all such resolutions are firmly kept, uncoin win undoubtedly go bank rupt wunin a weeK.

Wilson and Professor Clarence A. Farbes are the authors of "Gabriel Harvey's Ciceronianus" a book recently published by the University of Nebraska press. Translate Lecture An insight into the staid, un wieldy teaching methods followed in English universities in the 16th century is given in a translation of a lecture given by Gabriel Har vey, speech professor at England's Cambridge university in the 16th century. The book is being used as a reference volume in many uni versities as a detailed sidelight of academic life in the Elizabeth age in England. Lawrence Girls' School Operates On Unusual Plan (ACP). "We don't believe in spoon-fed education!" was the way Miss Constance Warren, recently retired president of Sarah Law rence college for "girls in Bronx ville, N. Y., began explaining the unique system under which that school operates during her visit to Furman University while on a tour of southern colleges. The tour has already taken her through Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and most of South Carolina and has enabled her to draw several conclusions about southern colleges. "There is a greater emphasis in the south," she remarked, "on the classics and on organized religion. Southern colleges appear to be af fected by the war far less than those in the north," she continued, pointing out that colleges there re flect the current trend of thinking in the choice of courses them selves, many of them offering courses in the Russian language among others. YWCA Sponsors Final Get 'Acquainted' Tea YWCA members will sponsor the last "Get Acquainted" tea of the semester this afternoon from 4 to 5 in Ellen Smith hall, ac cording to Cleone Reetz, social chairman. The teas have been a regular Friday afternoon event for all university women during the semester. WANTED Typing: of Papers, Manuscripts, and Theses 1728 Sumner 3-7092 its from a heavy chain to a light rope. Since more and better study ing is taken for granted in every complete list, the Navy nearly unanimously votes to cut down letter writing to their one and only's at home from fifty to fifteen. The most difficult decision for a young man to make is the rare resolution in which he prom ises to quit picketing the front of sorority houses hoping for the shades to come up. Usually, as this is an uphill climb, fraternities compromise by scheduling shifts of a half hour to each member . . . and may the best man win. Most freshman lads resolve to get a date at least once each week end, while the seniors, with manly determination, vow not to be pinned more than four times a year. Noticed only by those fully equipped with magnifying glasses, is the resolution in small print which states that the writer will stop wearing two suits of under wear at one time ... at least by the nrst or May. The printing is nearly indis tinguishable . . . the year is getting older. We could go on, but why bother . . . it's all just a big joKe anyway. Prof. Johnson Urges Interest In Problems Americans must take an active interest in Europe's problems, de clared Prof. E. N. Johnson of the university history department re cently. Recently returned from occupa tional work in Austria. Professor Johnson has been on leave of ab sence from the university since February. 1943. with the Office of strategic Services in Washington. successful Now. He stated that the American occupation policy is currently suc cessful but is headed for failure if those at home do not study the problems involved. "The greatest problem of 'the military occupation of Germany today is co-ordination of denazifi cation policies, of the allied pow ers. The Americans want to get rid of the nazis, but frequently we find the British and French hiring back these people the Americans have dismissed," Pro- lessor Johnson said. Public Opinion. Stressing the need of an in formed public opinion, and an energetic interest in government, he suggested these ways to gain that end: combat an absolute re liance on world peace machinery; oppose indifference to world problems; refuse to return to a lazy academic life; insist upon at tacking problems from a moral point of view; participate in po litical affairs; criticize govern ment policy; and discourage de featist talk. Williams Reviews 'Life with Father' Prof. Dallas Williams of the university speech department will review the Broadway hit, "Life with Father," at the Coed Coun selor book review Tuesday, Janu ary 15.

Quids Service Good Food Reasonable Prices THE NEBRASKAN Professors Find New Curative Aid In Penicillin Drug Three university professors, Leunis Van Es, J. F. Olney, and I. C. Blore have added a signifi cant aid to the curative powers of penicillin used by veterinar ians, butchers, fish handlers and housewives. They have found that penicillin will effectively cure "erysipeloid" which is a disease transmitted to human beings from swine infected with erysipelas. The disease has been treated heretofore by local external ap plications spread over a long pe riod of time. Penicillin, the scien tists discovered, does the job much more quickly and effectively.
