's Your Move . . .
Forgetting all sentimentality and bouquets, here are a
few simpcl facts. They are for you, students, to either
accept or reject.
There is a famine in Europe. Americans everyday
throw out more food than many European children have
seen in their lives.
Five million people in Europe and China are facing
starvation. Americans eat too much.
One-fourth of the population of the world is starving.
In the last few months, there has been a 30 percent rise in
for consumption in the U. S.
So a few students in one of the French classes on the
campus formulated an idea whereby we could help to al
leviate the situation. This group is merely the nucleus for
a campaign that is campus-wide.
All organized groups have been contacted through let
ters and are collecting donations and contributions within
their individual groups. A large box has been placed in the
front corridor of the Student Union for contributions from
those students who have not been contacted otherwise.
Monetary donations may be left in the Union office.
Contributions may include anything useful and appro
priate for overseas shipping, such as clothes, tooth paste,
tooth brushes, combs, yarn, needles, thread, etc.
You ask why anything should be sent to Europe. You
think they brought it on themselves. Somewhat perverted
philosophy, isn't it? It is possible that the tables may be
turned some day. Americans do have the reputation for
being more than a little self-satisfied and egotistical.
It sn't such a great effort, bringing a tube of tooth
paste or a jar of canned fruit over to the Union on the way
to the Crib. And it's nothing to feel particularly smug
about.
A comparatively simple effort in itself, with the total
result meaning one step further toward world peace.

Warns Against
'Buying J titers'
Arnold E. Baragar, university
associate home economist and
housing equipment research scien
tist, warned Nebraskans Friday
against contracting the "buy-it
now" jitters because he believes
that there will not be enough
household appliances to go
e round.
"Over 50 percent of the con
sumers in Nebraska want to buy
postwar appliances right now.
The rest of the buyers have adopt
ed a "wait and see what they look
like' attitude. Our advice to both
groups is: Conserve what you
have buy only what you need,"
the home economist advised.
Apppliances Scarce.
Mr. Baragar, in whose labora
tory all leading makes of house
hold appliances are thoroly tested
for performance and durability,
pointed out, "There won't be
enough household appliances to go

around, by any stretch of imagi
nation, this year at least. Many
men who already have applances,
altho they are probably consider
ably worn, jam the market places
and make it impossible for many
to buy who are just starting a
home especially the veteran."
"There isn't much basis in fact
for the gossip you hear these days
that appliances aren't as good as
before the war. Most of them are
as good or better because of the
profitable wartime inventions ex
perienced by most manufacturers.
Some minor substitute material is
being used now, but it isn't detri
mental to the product."
No Revolution Yet.
Stressing that there may be a
lot of temporary manufacturing
companies organized to capitalize
on the present shortage, Mr. Bar
agar points out that you can't be
stung if you buy "reputable
goods."
"From our research studies it
is evident that the much dis
cussed revolution in design and
operation of household appliances
in the post-war years simply isn't
going to happen for quite a while
at least, Mr. Baragar informed.
Prices Same.
"Contrary to prevailing opinion,
retail prices at present on such
things as washing machines, irons,
stoves and refrigerators are the
same, or less, than in 1942," he
pointed out.

BY ELMER SPRAGUE
Schuberholtz collapsed Just inside the Crib, and I had to drag
him to the nearest booth. After four grapefruit cokes he had re
covered enough to speak in a rasping whisper. "Why did you re
vive me?" he snarled bitterly.
"Schuberholtz, what's happened to you?" I asked sweetly.
At my question he collapsed again. But after a shower of hot
tears he began his story. "I," he paused for the effect, "I've been
alone in the same room with Marthclla Solcomb," he said.
"Oh, come, Schuberholtz," I remarked cheerfully, "Perseus was
alone with Medusa. What arc you complaining about?"
"But, I know, now," he said, and began sobbing again.
"Know what?" I asked innocently.
"I know why Mnrthella has been wearing those black glasses,
all of this time," he said.
"Why?"I gasped expectantly.
SchuberholU gathered himself for the final effort, and whispered
hoarsely, "So she could know how she would look in a Mortar Board
mask."
Poor Schubcrholtc, the terrible truth was too much for him. We
buried him with a link of the daisy chain in his buttonhole, and a
sprig of ivy between his teeth.

And there you have it, fellow imbibers (of the fountain of
knowledge, that is). You just can't win.
We carefully refrained from mentioning the game of Jacks which
Tommie Cook promoted on the lounge carpet, thereby frightening
Pat Lahr half out of her wits (she thought it was dominoes). We
even resolved not to mention the hooks, crooks and curves included
in the plans of the NROs for scraping together $366 per month to
go to school next year by the simple expedient of marrying an ex
service woman, and then letting her work. But we can't let the day
go by without mentioning their appearance Tuesday on VE-Day plus
365. Only thing we needed for an Annapolis background was cobble
stone streets, frowning chaperones in every door, and Chesapeake
bay off to the right. On the tour of Navy Hall, of which you children
shall hear more later, we did, however, find one prominent bay.
Not to be confused with sick bay. This one was plenty healthy.
