Others have till ill Iiecoru offered financial assistance in the form of regular scholar ships to the graduates of their respective state high schools and out of state schools. Consequently many Nebraska high school graduate athletes are being lured to these greener (flecked with dollar signs) pastures. If a student of low financial means wishes to attend the university all efforts possible are made by the adminis tration toward securing for that student a part time job An Ash Can tidbit got the Aggies ud in arms the early part of the week, and furious they were, too, about any insinuations as' to the merits of their school. Several of them offered to take the staff on a special tour to show us just how much better their school was than any other campus in Lin coln. That's the stuff you've gotta watch if you want to find a group who have real school spirit. On the city campus it is far from unusual to find a group of eight or ten stivi dents piling grief on grief til you wonder that the city of Lincoln doesn't condemn Ihe buildings they think so bad, and simply raze the whole school. They can find no single good feature, to hear them tell it, of the school they've chosen, of their own free will, for an alma mater. Our salaams to them.. It's more than a little reviving for our sagging spirits to find there's at least one part of dear old Nebras ka U which has the unanimous support of its student body. Seems everyone else has forgotten the words of one of the school's song, "Where pioneers first led the way, now live a people blessed." And aren't we? Newest greeting on campus, reportedly conceived by one of the more ingenious mi nority is the "click, click," which meets some of the more ambitious underclassmen. The puzzled expression usually gives way to a blush when its meaning is explained, "The sound of the big wheel." r By Jerry Cohn and Aaron Schmidt Woody Herman insists on keen ing himself in the musical spot light!

My old English teacher always used to say, between drags on his hookah, "My boy, write about things with which you are fa miliar." In the past, I have chosen to disregard his advice and I suf fered for it. Since I am not fa miliar with animal husbandry, debating, punting, model airplane construction, typesetting, hod car rying, the art of making love, hog calling, or middling, the only thing left for me is the art of loafing in the Student Union. Most people think that loafing Is a matter of just sitting. Any body can sit and think but just Bitting requires practice and prac tice and practice. Work gets to be an insidious habit and completely ruins a good loafer. The motives of a good loafer? I loaf around the Union because: 1. If I go home my mother will make me clean the basement. 2. There is enough noise and con tosion to absolutely prevent me from studying. 3. A girl might speak to me thinking I am some one she knows. Means to an End. These motives are fairly com mon among males but the fe males rarely have honest inter ests in loafing. Mercenary, you know. Almost any day, and at any hour, a line of "tomatoes" can be seen, standing out side the crib, busily blowing the dust off their tonsils and making remarks like: "Gee kid, I'd sure like a coke." "Are you as thirsty as I am?' "I'm so dry I'm seeing mirages." And looking at me, "You'd think that some of these cheap skates would buy a lady a drink." Often some kindly but mis guided soul will approach me, look me in the eye, and inquire tenderly, "George, why don't you get a job?" To which I always reply with patriotism and indignation, "What, and throw a veteran out of work2" Reconversion . . (Continued from Page 1.) Housing authority regional office at Chicago. L. F.

Here our scientists have strung telephone wires through the crowded branches to learn just how much tree rubbing and abuse the protective coverings and insulation on new types of wire will stand. Important? With more than fifteen million insulated "drop wires" coa nectinghome andbusiness telephones to nearby poles, we've got to be sure that the wire we use is the very best that can be produced. This is but one small example cf hundreds of experiments and researdi projects carried on constantly by BeU Laboratories to make Bell Telephone Service more dependable, more useful, to more people.
