ELLIE SWANSON
Ever since theopening publica
tion of the Rag about a week ago,
I have had an odd feeling of being
suspended in mid air. Of all the
girls who have written features,
not one has ventured into the
limitless subject of "men." Hav
ing been firmly convinced that
the campus ratio of men to wo
men is now 7 to 1, I have no
doubt that in spite of everything
I might say here, I still may have
a date once every seven months.
As it happened one afternoon,
I was having a coke with an
eligible young man of the uni
versity. "The way I look at it,"
he mused, "if there are seven men
to every girl, four out of the sev
en are probably married, two of
the seven will flunk out, and that
leaves a man for every girl." At
this point there was an unbearable
silence of approximately 15 sec
onds. Finally he could bear it no
longed . . . "but I hate to see the
thing I'll be stuck with." .
Feeling relieved that he had not
forced me to say it, but yet har
boring a strange guilty conscience,
I changed the subject. "How arc
your classes?" I said, remember
Early Dinners

order to gain maximum at
tendance at the "Go for the
Gophers" rally scheduled to

pep band will start down fra
ternity row at 6:15 and meet
the student body at the union.
Huskerville
HousingOpen
For Veterans
Max Swan, manager of "Hus
kerville," the university's vet
housing area at the Lincoln Army
Air Field, urges all single veter
ans who have not found satisfac
tory quarters to apply for dormi
tory space at Huskerville.
"We have accommodations for
250 single men, of which only 80
have been taken," Mr. Swan said.
"The dorms are divided into in
dividual rooms accommodating
two men eac'i and are furnished
wK'- bunks, tables, chairs, clothes
lockers and study lamps. The
rental is $10 per month.
Good Food
The Huskerville cafeteria has
been put into operation, serving
good food at low cost, Swan said,
and the dormitories are furnished
with radiator steam heat. A com
plete recreation program is being
planned, the manager said.
Bus service has been greatly
expanded and the present schedule
includes these departures from
the air base: 7:20 a.m., 8:25 a.m.,
9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. 3 p.m.,
4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The buses leave
the city campus from Teachers
college at the following times:
8 a.m., 9 a.m., 1 p.m., 3:30 p.m.,
4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The last
bus of the day leaves Sosh at 11
p.m. Additional trips wiU be
scheduled if necessary, Swan con
cluded. ing that I had heard someone ask
that question before. "Well, there's
a girl in my Sosh class," he ans
wered bitterly. "Too bad she's
over six feet tall."
"How are things over at your
house?" I squirmed subtly. "We
have a few boys that are tall,
dark, smooth, good looking and
have pleasing personalities. They
are dating. The rest of us sit
around practicing hanging our
pins in case we ever get a date."
At this point I was considering
leaving. "I seem to recall a date
I had the other night," he mur
mered on in a dead monotone.
"We went on a picnic." "I love
picnics," I managed to squeeze
in, but he didn't seem to notice.
"She kept asking me when we
were going to eat. When I finally
convinced her that we forgot the
cake and cookies, she suddenly re
membered that she had to be in
at 12:30 and we had to leave."
"That's logical," I reasoned alftud.
"Yes, but it was only 9:15 at the
time."
Good Luck!
"Well, I have to go now." he
said sluffing off in a daze. "Got

a date?" I breathed hopefully and
doubtfully. "No, I'm busy re
cruiting members for the new club
I'm organizing." "Good luck to
you . . . and, by the way what
do you call yourselves?" "The
Stag Knights!" Well, things are
tough all over.
"Why am I feeling so low?" I
asked myself on my way to my
first English class of the year.
"Things are looking bright for
our side." At this thought I picked
myself up from the sidewalk.
Three bright faces were looking
at me. "I must have tripped, I
blushed. "That's all right," said
one of the more eager of the
three. "How about a date to
night?" "I'm afraid I don't re
member you," I stammered.
"Where do you live?" he asked.
"In Omaha." "I have an aunt
that lives on main street that you
probably know." Fortunately for
me, I remembered my class and
left while they were wondering
how I could have lived in Oma
ha for 19 years and hadn't met
their aunt.
Well, boys, I'm just kidding,
things aren't that tough yet, but
we can still dream, can't we? .
