Missouri Basin Agency
Praised by General Pick
Praising the Missouri Basin clamalion have worked out a six-
Inter-Agency committee, Maj
Gen. Lewis A. Pick, Missouri
iver Division engineer of Omaha,
described the committee as an
effective, functioning group rap
idly co-ordinating public support
of the vast river development pro
gram, in an address before stu
dents Friday.
"This committee has been func
tioning nearly a year," General
Pick said, "and I am pleased to
tell you that it has met every
problem that has arisen in an
efficient and satisfactory manner.
Hard Work.
"Scores of civic organizations,
str.te officials and business groups
in the valley have worked and
still are working earnestly and
effectively in support of this
(Pick-Sloan) program. They
feel that the comprehensive river
development plan will provide a
great impetus for economic
growth rnd prosperity, in addition
to giving them flood protection.
"These valley leaders are look
ing ahead and planning for the
future, just as we in the federal
agencies involved are planning
ahead. Both the Corps of En
gineers and the Bureau of Re-1
year construction schedule. It pro
vides for efficient year-by-year
construction on a planned basis.
They have been submitted to
congress and are on record. They
call for a total program of work
totalling one billion dollars by
1952.
Time Important.
"This is advanced planning of
the kind which must be kept in
mind if we are to get this tre
mendous job done without loss of
time. For every year of delay
the people of the valley will
suffer added damage to their
homes and farm lands. Each
year lost will postpone propor
tionately the time when vast
areas of new land can be brought
into production through irriga
tion, and deprive the seven mil
lion people who live in the basin
of marry other benefits which will
accrue irom use ot water re
sources.
"We are working together as
a team in the Missouri valley
one people, their state officials
r.nd federal agencies, to harness
the 'Big Muddy.' It is a program
which I am convinced will pay
for itself over and over again in
the years to come, he concluded
Herman, Oshkosh Wake Up
For Advisors' Spring Chat
BY JAN SOULEK.
Herman and Oshkosh have
long been tucked away in the
garbage can where they belong.
But spring registration and coeds
in T shirts brought them scramb
ling into their advisor's office
asking where they too could find
vivid T shirts. From that moment
on Herman and Oshkosh forgot
all else and were hustled into
matriculating for next fall's term.
"Have you registered?" queried
Herman's advodsor. "D-d-draft?"
countered Herman. "Closhe the
window," ordered his advisor.
Meanwhile Herman had become
the orbit of a . maelstrom of
blanks, papers, catalogues and
schedules while his counselor di
rected, "Sign here, this form. Only
taking 19 hours? Impossible- a
fellow with your intelligence?
Twenty one hours for you old
man."
21 Hours.
At the thought of a 21 hour
schedule and with his advisor's
pen in his mouth, Herman gulped
and with this movement the
Schaeffer pen vanished, bravely
descending to meet its fate among
sunflower seeds in Herman's
stomach. He turned in despera
tion to Oshkosh to ask him,
"Should J take English A or Eng
lish O this time and do you have
a pen?" But Oshkosh had found
the strain of deciphering a uni
versity catalogue to6 strenuous,
his mind had snapped and he was
given to alternate renditions of
music such as, "Who Shall Plant
the Ivy" and orations on, "I like
Woody Herman s band becuz
At this point Herman's blood and
Parkers Quink were fusing and
creating a chartreuse pallor on
Herman's pan that made Mrs.
Wiggam's cabbage patch look
anemic. This was sad, very sad.
"Dr. Elliott, I'd rather not have
any Saturday classes, suppli
cated Herman as he contemplated
joining his ancestors. His coun
selor beamed, "Just what I was
waiting to hear Just the thing
for you a pathology section on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
mornings at 7 o'clock and every
body's got the Itch so you'll
scratch at home.
Apathetic.
Now Herman became apathetic
he merely slumped, smiled
wanly, nodded weakly and filed
registration forms in the cuffs of
his crumpled white cords. His ad
visor explained about "advisees
who don t make early matricula
tion appointments must fill out
Saturday class sections and regis
tration ends May 18th!"
Herman and Oshkosh, regis
tered and T shirt informed by
their advisor, are now humbly
thrown back into the garbage can
hoping that you realize you're
'sposed to register soon no hay!

Museum Month
Is Observed
By Geologists
Over 15,000 Nebraskans are ex
pected to visit the university mu
seum during "Museum Month,"
the montii of May, Dr. C. Bertrand
Schultz, museum director an
nounced today.
The estimate compares with
nearly 10,000 who visited the mu
seum last year, and is based on a
steady increase in the number of
visitors at the museum this year
which is expected to equal the
prewar average annual attendance
of between 100,000 and 150,000.
During "Museum Month" visit
ors will see several new exhibits,
natural history motion pictures at
3 and 4 p. m. each Sunday, and
be shown the museum's exhibits
by an enlarged staff of expert
guides, who will conduct special
tours at 2:30 and 3:30 p. m. Sun
days. The scund natural color
film Sunday May 5 is entitled
"Realm of the Wild," showing
wild life in our national forests.
Large Collection.
The idea of Museum Month be
gan last year, according to Dr.
Schultz to acquaint Nebraskans
with the university's museum
which has the largest collection of
mounted pre-historic and modern
elephants in the world; is second
only to the American Museum of
Natural History in New York in
the number of mounted North
American fossil mammals; and an
outstanding geological collection
of rocks and minerals of which
only 10 percent can be displayed
because of lack of spar.
In addition the museum has
thousands of items concerning the
birds and mammals of Nebraska,
Indian relics and other archeolog
ical specimen South Sea Island
curios from the Stanley Osborn
collection, marine exhibits in fos
sil and mounted form.
Education.
"A trip through the museum
combines education and pleasure,"
Dr. Schultz said. "We hope that
many Nebraskans and others in
nearby states will be able to visit
the exhibits, especially during
"Museum Month" in May.
