Odds and Ends . . .
The end of the year is creeping up on us and several
important campus projects are still flapping around at loose
ends. Our curiosity has been aroused about the progress of
the following items.
First of all, what has happened to the search for a new
chancellor? If anything definite is being done it is being
kept tightly under the administrative hat. The Regents are
keeping mum and from what we hear the faculty commit
tee is consistently striking names off its list. We are wi
ing to bet that we will be an alumnus of the university be
fore the new man is chosen. It seems likely to us that the
fall term will open with some member of the present faculty
serving temporarily as acting chancellor. .
Another of the mysteries of recent weeks is what ac
tion if any, is being taken on the ag union. Evidently
no meeting has been called as a follow-up to the last un
fruitful session and no decisions have been made. Is the
matter to wait until the students have gone home for the
summer or to be carried over until next September and the
fourth year of debate ?
Also lost in the jumble of red tape is the question of
Neero participation in Big Six athletics. A few weeks ago
the Student Council voted to send a letter to the Regents
expressing student feeling on the matter. With the chang
ing of council membership the letter has been neglected and
no further action has been taken. Nothing has been done,
which leaves Dean T. J. Thompson free to go to the next
Big Six meeting, ignore the Student Council resolution and
speak only as, or if, he feels so moved. It adds up to our
letting down the three schools who took a positive stand
favoring opening Big Six meets to athletes of all races.
As long as we're asking questions we might as well
bring up the bi-annual oie of the grade ratings for the pre
vious semester. Again this semester Daily staff members
have repeated first semester efforts to get the listings of
group grade ratings from the off ice of the registrar or the
office of the dean of student affairs. All semester we Have
received the same answer to our weekly telephone call,
"They are not ready and we do not know when they will be
ready."
Last semester our efforts ended with the NebrasJcan
publishing the ratings when they were released confidentally
and obtained from other than official sources. The dean of
student affairs then proceeded to call the editor names and
the editor returned the compliment. At that time the assist
ing dean reported that first semester ratings were usually
ready in April. It is now May and we are still trying. If they
have been compiled and released only to a select few we are
unaware of that fact. If the powers that be are ashamed
to have them published, that is pretty sad too. Anyway,
we re still trying.
The Ash Can
by
Marthella Holcomb
The trio sat silent, tense, awaiting action. Suddenly the order
came; they snapped to attention, weapons gripped tightly no sound
was heard through the murmur of voices around them. Only, now
and then, a gentle sigh, as the wind through the rustling needles
of a Douglas fir. Only, now and again, the metallic click of a care
lessly handled utensils. Their stooped attention was token of their
intense concentration upon a single goal. Finally, all at once, three
heads popped up. They smiled, confident that for another day the
battle had been won. Each heaved a sigh of relief, pushed aside the
soup bowls, and started on their cold fudge sundaes.
That same fascination which made Pinocchio one of the most
lovable heroes in fiction held sway Wednesday noon in the Union
ballroom as spell-bound students played interloper for Marge Shaney
felt's puppet show. The acrobatic number, reminiscent of Ziegfeld's
staging, was eerily beautiful under the ultra-violet lamp; the sharpie
duet in black lace and read zoot suit went over big with the navy.
Reflecting again the type of entertainment which children
love was the way extra characters appeared out of nowhere from
the Dutch girl's water-buckets, the egg just laid by the ostrich, and
out of a suitcase.
Hit of the show was the traditional "bones" number, with every
one having a rattling good time while two, not one but two, skeletons
cavorted separately and altogether across the stage. Then there was
the woman faculty member who turned to her companion and said,
"they're about as disjointed as the answers I get in my quiz sections."

So He Reminds You Of A Song,
Coed Names Campus Tunesters
BY GRACIE SMITH.
Many are the times each day
when we hear a song and immedi
ately think of someone we know
fairly well, well enough, or too
well. The song's the thing in this
day of ours, and there's just not
much that we can do about it.
"Sweet and Lovely," is an old
favorite which describes Jeanne
Hickey to a tee, and at any hour
of the day you can hear Joanie
Vingers saying "I'm Headin' for
California." "Personality" goes to
Barb Turk, the old personality kid
herself, and Jacque Holm may be
classified as a "Prisoner of Love."
Happiness.
It is well agreed that "Happi
ness Is Just a Thing Called Joe"
is definitely the tune for Mary
Lou Laune, while "As if I Didn't
Have Enough on My Mind" is
very suitable for Don Kline. Cute
and popular Marilyn Duffack is
probably in an undecided muddle,
and we're sure that 'If I Had a
Dozen Hearts" would settle her
situation pronto. Gene Morgan has
given folks the impression of "I'm
Just a Stranger in Town."
Gent Mayburn has been out of
circulation except for one, as of
late, and it is very evident that
"I've Found a New Baby" is quite
appropriate in his case.
Everyday there appears in the
minds of our drooling females a
man who is the answer to their
every prayer. We hereby dedi
cate "Welcome to My Dream" to
Jim Pettis. There comes a time in
every man's, life when he just
doesn't seem to be able to make
the decision; so "Bidin My Time"
seems to be the theme of Bill Lear
until something definite changes
his mind and plans. "My Guy's
Come Back" has been the echoing
cry of girl after girl for some time
now, and Bobbie Busch is one of
the last to join this tribe.
Dreamers.
Speaking of dream boys and
gals, we might mention that Putti
Holmes may justly clair the song,
"Out of This World." Judd Ank
rom and Lou Reinhardt are two
fellas that possess approximately
the same likes and dislikes; so in
all sincerity we recommend the
song, "Going My Way."
Music has set the background
for the growth of many important
and prominent personalities in
this world of ours, and with all of
the above in comparison, who
knows what the outcome will be?
