Queen for a Day . . .
Another suggestion which recently came to us from a
student was that all campus coeds who are nominated for
the honor of serving as any of the various campus "queens"
be a senior or junior woman.
Nebraska produces an abundant yearly crop of female
monarchs, ranging from May Queen to Beauty Queen, Pep
Queen, Nebraska Sweetheart, Prom Girl, Goddess of Agri
culture, to Dandelion Queen. This student felt that the
honor would mean more to a junior girl who could reign
her senior year or to a senior than it would to an under
class coed.
We think this would be a fine idea, especially as it
would cut out some of the competition and give every
senior woman a better chance to be a queen. We ourselves
are very bitter because we have spent almost four years in
the university and have never been asked to be a queen,
not even "Queen of the Union Basement Trash Cans." We
feel that there should be a few more such positions added
to the UN list of nobility so that our motto could be: "A
queen every week," or "Every senior woman a queen at
least once." .

Mabel Lee, PE
Head, Accepts
National Post
Miss Mabel Lee, director of the
women s physical education de
partment, has recently accepted
an appointment as chairman of
a national committee to help find
jobs for ex-eervicewomen who are
trained in the physical education
and recreation field.
According to. Miss Lee, this
committee does not personally
recommend women to positions or
positions to women, but merely
serves as a contact committee to
help ex-service women get in
touch with job possibilities in
civilian life.
"Long lists of candidates and
still longer lists of job openings
are now pouring into the commit
tee," Miss Lee declared. "Directors
of the WACS and SPARS have
been keeping us informed of
names and addresses of recently
discharged women trained in our
field. Now we are also able to
establish contacts with girls being
separated from the USO and
American Red CrosS units."
The committee has received re
quests for women from high
schools, recreation centers, hos
pitals, YWCA's and colleges all
over the country.

Letterip
To The Editor:
Doughnuts and coffee cost
money. Lots of money. So does
blood plasma, telegrams, prisoner
of war boxes and rehabilitation
work.
The Red Cross has done plenty
of that. Servicemen will for a
long time remember places like
Rainbow Center in London, the
Hollywood Canteen and the Stage
Door Canteen.
But the Red Cross has not
confined its activities to the serv
ing the armed forces in the last
five years. Look at the current
drive for funds in a selfish way.
A bad fire, a flood, or in fact
any type of disaster could put you
in need of plenty of help, and
when you need that help, it will
be the Red Cross that will be
there at the right time.
Two-bits won't buy you in
dividually a lot to eat, but take
the two-bit pieces from all over
America and they will do a lot
toward helping someone. Think
it over. It isn't only a question
of sewing a rip in your blues
as the Red Cross has done so
often. It might be a question of
your getting out of an accident
alive. Let's all give just a quar
ter or anything we can to the
Red Cross as this is not only
for America, all of Europe is in
need of help and each of us in
our own small way can do some
thing. The Red Cross is for all
of us and don't forget it.

One zoo student in lab the other
day was asked if he'd made a
slide of a Paramecium. "Nope, but
I've seen one," he said. When

didn't make a slide himself, he
retorted, "My eyes are tired," and
the teacher went her way in
peace. Has anyone here seen the
