Years of Progress?
Charter Day, 1946, marks the end of 76 years in the
life of the university. At the beginning of the 77th year,
students and faculty are desperately trying to readjust
themselves to a normal college existence after four years of
abnormality.
For the second time in the three-quarters of a century
f its operation, the university has successfully passed thru
a world war. In 1919 and the years succeeding, the univer
sity expanded thru building, scientific advancement and ad
ditional students. There was no GI Bill of Rights, no great
interest in education. 450 actual need for a college education
in the business world m those days following World war I
Thru the 20's and 30's, interest and need for higher
education has developed by leaps and bounds. With the
added incentive of the GI Bill, the national enrollment in
colleges and universities has swamped most of them.
Seventy-seven year old Nebraska is no exception. How
ever, it is only too possible that after the predominating
problems of registration and housing have been settled, the
university may settle down to its war-time quiet and com
placency, content to do just what has to be done, secure
m its own perfection.
To counteract the possibility of slipping into the same
old rut, one suggestion, if followed, would lessen the chance.
That suggestion, stated in one word, is the time-honored and
oft-repeated "Think."
Thought about what the world needs for reconstruc
tion, and more immediately about what the university needs
in the way of administration, both student and faculty, will
bring forth ideas which can be made the basis for action.
Once an act is started, its own momentum will carry it on
to a conclusion.
I Confusion Says
3 Don Grube i
One-hundred and twenty volts
of electricity are conducted to
each bunk; two thousand bells ring
for about half an hour and the
Irainees slowly begin to open their
eyes. It isn't morning yet, but ac
cording to navy standards, time to
get up. The first thing to be done
is to get the platoon leaders and
battalion staff up before the OOD
comes around. This mission com
pleted, the "enlisted" men make
their bunks, and alter slipping out
of "this" and into "that," start the
long trip to the washroom for
shave and other miscellaneous
duties. Sometimes someone says
something, but this is most un
usual. It is difficult enough just
getting down stairs.
After the bath is finished, the
men feeling a little refreshed but
still looking rather poor, ascend
the stairs and slip on some clothes
prior to leaving the building. By
this time the conversation has
. loosened up and names start fly
ing all over the place . . . Lee
Hering, Don Minster, and the
"gang" discuss the female mem
. bers, which include Ann Frost
Lucybelle Pierce, "Janie" and
many others with whom the au
thor is not yet acquainted.
Help Wanted?
Joe Brown informs Bill Hen
derson that he can take care of
both Donna Lou Peterson and
Betty Sparks very nicely without
any help. This doesn't go over so
big with Marlow Halbakken,
however, who quite cleverly sug
gests that perhaps he can be of
some help . . . Pat Chritol walks
around in a half daze continually
chanting the name Marion Wolfe
... He just met her but already
thinks she is just woooonderful
. . . Everyone else talks about
Lieutenant Steinkellner, USNNNN
who is one cf the newer basket
ball stars.
At about seven o'clock, another
bell rings and the men line up
for muster . . . After this is com
pleted, Bill Huxley sneaks in . . .
Nevertheless, he is sly about the
whole thing ... He appears
swinging from chandelier to chan
delier and finally drops into his
assigned place . . . someone else
is already there, but after picking
himself up, he nonchalantly moves
on to another less dangerous po
sition.
When both companies have
marched off to what is supposedly
on appetizing meal, the bell rings
again, but no one is there to heed
it . . . Navy Hall is lifeless and
insignificant ... All that made
it a living thing, a useful build
ing, has left . . . The Navy has
gone to breakfast . . .

THE D I D-Y O U-K N O W-DEPART-MENT:
That the psychologists' latest claim
to fame is the theory that a bowlful of
graceful-swimming goldfish is the greatest
household nerve-soother to date? . . . That
Jack Halloburtin hails from Texas? . . . That
campus songbird Barbara Jean Olson now
warbles every Tuesday evening on KFOR's
air waves along with veteran student Jim
Price and his violin ? . . .
Then there were those of us who stum
bled into Love Library last Monday with a
vague idea in the back of our heads about
cracking a book. (Darned if I won't keep
those New Year's resolutions thru Febru
ary.) No sooner settled in Humanities read
ing room than the doors from the Docu
ments room were thrust open and in parades
a retenue of solemn-faced, hat-clutching
men easily past their prime. These odd-fellows
gaze wonderingly at the fluorescent
lights, the orderly bookshelves and the pret
ty girls. This unique distraction could have
been tolerated if a reserved, (Usually soft
spoken librarian hadn't rushed up before
the men and boomed out "THIS IS THE
HUMANITIES READING ROOM" in a
shout that would have made Lionel Barry
more jealous!
Already knowing that this was the Hu
manities reading room, we quietly picked up
cAir Culbertson Handbook and True Comics
in favor of the Reserve reading room, first
floor. But you guessed it. Five minutes after
we had settled down to study "Ragged
Edges" for Journalism O, the silence was
broken by a not too feminine voice proclaim
ing with fervor "THIS IS THE RESERVE
READING ROOM WHERE STUDENTS
JUST PLAINLY STUDY!" Plainly seeing
that this student couldn't study we made
a swift exit, thinking "We'll try it once
more." Now we learn that quote, More tours
of this nature will be conducted in the fu
ture, unquote. Pardon us while we utter a
frenzied scream.
LETTER IP
Editor, Daily Ncbiaskan:
The University is having red tape troubles
again. Or should we say, yet.
Sitting downtown in one of the camera stores
is a beautiful, shiny new enlarger destined someday
for the photographic darkrooms of the journalism
school. Meanwhile, the 50-some students registered
in photography classes are making enlargements on
a couple of broken-down, out-dated enlarge is
which condescend to work sometimes.
The reason the new enlarger is downtown
rather than in the catacombs of U hall being used
by the university students as it should be is be
cause the funds to pay for the enlarger are lost in
the shuffle. Getting the enlarger requires the trans
fer of money from one fund to another and even
tually to the camera store. The enlarger has been
slowly tarnishing for weeks, while the transfer of
funds was supposedly in the process of getting
fijeed.
That's what we like about the administration
the speedy way they get new equipment to the stu
dents. LESLIE GLOTFELTY.
I would like to answer those few who believe
a veteran club will not help rehabilitate veterans
and prevent them from becoming part of the stu
dent body.
The club will meet only twice a month. Very
little of any veteran's time will be concentrated on
it. It will merely be another activity on the campus.
No one has said that a music club keeps the
campus musicians as a class apart from the rest
of the student body. Why not a veteran's club?
Why do the veterans want one?
'.. To keep up on the G. I. Bill of Rights.
2. To learn where to go to receive help, coun
cil, and how to prevent the run-around when funds
do not come on schedule.
3. To plan a monthly social get-together.
4. To discuss surplus property, elections, or
any other topic of direct interest to veterans as a
group.
5. To help veterans make study plans, catch
up with back lessons.
6. To comment to the university on what vet
erans want as to monuments to heroes of this war.
