(Editor's Note: As the man
any other student, Bob Coonley has offered (after continued
bended-knee effort on our part) to write a column today, not rep
resenting the Nebraska Blueprint, the Betas, the Student Council,
the honorary math fraternity, the engineering exec board, or any
other society of mutual admiration, but as Robert Coonley, '47.)
BY BOB COONLEY.
DREAMS that the senate might approve the minor change
necessary to create a two week-end spring vacation. Again the
university administration is so steeped in its hidebound tradition
that changing conditions are met with the promise of "next year!"
The university's Holy Book, its schedule, must not be changed lest
the earth open as a chasm before us or the great catastrophe should
occur that Joe would have to write he'll be home five days earlier.
Should it have been a dream?
DREAMS. .. .that Engineers Open House could be revived. The
college had a fine but frantic dream. The big show had to be called.
Last minute facts were hard but cruel, upper-classmen and neces
sary time just were not available. The Exec Board humbly apolo
gizes since its announcement of full activities can't be carried out.
The Week will go on for engineers, but only its convocation will be
a campus-wide affair. For engineers the play part will be retained,
the work deferred until our 25 year old freshmen learn to walk
again. But it had to be a dream! !
DREAMS that the Student Council would get involved in
any heated discussion under mild Eddie Pumphrey and fiery Bob
"Move to adjourn" Gillan. Campus politicos, turned copy boys and
girls, had shunned the limelight of pafty caucuses and turned their
creative works to humor (ye olde Englishe spelling is intentional)
instead of platforms. When belated appearances occured no men
tion of such flaming issues as free bus fare to ag, and a million
dollar roller rink on the Mall was made in the sotto voiced pre
sentations. But, alas, the discussion on how to make the election
of Mr. Seaton as 'Prince Dandelion appear legitimate was cut short
by the demure entry of Elmer Sprague direct from the ASTP, south-
em division, and Don Baker's exhuberant tales of the ten day
Battle of Farragut.
The tempest has descended. Since being tagged a 17 year old
coed, I can't even borrow Les's tricycle to ride to my one o'clock
in advanced sandttable drawing. Roaring '46, God grant it was a
dream.
DREAMS so nice, but you can't come home to them. Awak
ening you find reality. As students we are about to learn how to
handle our fellow students in large masses. The campus is pass
ing from an aura of urbanity and logic to the bedlam of rabble
rousyig and mass emotion.
DREAMS that I'll find a game at which to beat Squat Meyers.
DREAMS verses the University of Nebraska, the life I lead
and

SAVANAH, GO. The United

several agreements on the world
banking problem at the interna

held at Savanah; however, these
agreements have been obsrued by
such developments as the swift ap

Anthropologist,
In this physical anthropology
research laboratory, students
study skulls, bones and fossils of
mankind to learn his history, cus
toms and language. The specimens
studied have been secured from
Nebraska counties and department
members know the pedigree of
most of them.
Before the war, student and
government labor worked to
gether in uncovering specimens.
This work, according to Champe,
is to be resumed.
File Drawers.
When the specimens are brought
into the laboratory, they are la
bled and filed in drawers for fur
ther use. File drawers contain
ing the fossils bear the names of
Nebraska counties so that the ter
ritory from which each has come
is readily available. Counties in
which many fossils have been dis
covered include Nance, Pawnee,
Stanton, Dakota and Knox.
Pieces of cloth, bow guards,
squash seeds 700 years old, pipe
parts, bracelets, as well as ac
tual bones are brought into the
department for class study. In the
collection of hand skeletons is a
hand which was buried with the
wearer's bracelets and rings on
the hand. The metal of the brace
lets caused the skin to shrivel and
cling to this hand rather than
drop off as has happened in the
other skeletal bones.
Photographs.
In another collection are pieces
of cloth in which silver coins
have been hooked. This cloth was
worn as skirts by Indian women,
and Champe described such
squaws as "walking bank ac
counts." "At that time," he
laughed, "when the husband
needed money, all he had to do
was rip off a piece of his wife's
skirt."
Altho much of the" work, is con
cerned with studying the ancient
material, the laboratory also has
photographic equipment for de
veloping, printing and enlarging
pictures. Maps of explored fields
are also made by the department
