Thanks
UN's Homecoming of 1946 now ranks, we're sorry to
say, as a thing of the past. But it will go down in the annals
of university history as qne of the most genuine and enthu
siastic demonstrations of school spirit ever witnessed.
THANKS, sincese and grateful, goes to the multitude
of people who worked and planned for many weeks previous
to the traditional occasion.
THANKS to the Husker team for showing the country
in general and Nebraskans in particular that we have a
team to be proud of now and always.
THANKS to the band for their almost continual march
ing over the weekend and their beautiful job at the halftime
ceremonies. '
THANKS to the cheerleading squad who somehow
managed to be ten different places at once to lead the stu
dent body in countless cheers and songs.
THANKS to the Tassels and Corn Cobs who organized
rallies and parades in grand fashion, and boosted spirit
wherever they put in an appearance.
THANKS to the Innocents and Mortar Boards for
swallowing their pride long enough to appear together on
the football field.
THANKS to the grads for giving us an added incentive
to do our best in making this a Homecoming to be remem
bered. THANKS to numerous loyal students who beavered
long hours on house decorations, floats for the parade, and
who turned out in great quantities at any and all times to
cheer the Cornhuskers on to victory.

To the Editor:
In the editorial in Tuesday's paper, which bore the ap
propriate head, "A Challenge . . . ," you suggested that we,
the students of the University, should ponder the statement,
"There can be little hope for the masses emerging from our
present state of chaos and confusion if enlightened college
men and women do not lead the way.
In regard to this, I would like to point out that there
are various organizations on the campus that are aware
of the important plaqe that educated men and women of our
generation are going to play in the world situation. The
organization that is undoubtedly most conscious of this situ
ation is the Student Federalist group, a new addition to
the campus.
Harrison Brown, author of the recent publication,
"Must Destruction Be Our Destiny ?" addressed the national
convention of Student Federalists in Chicago last September
with these words, "The world is run by what Clifton Fadi
man calls pre-Hiroshima minds. Now "the young ones must
run it with post-Hiroshima minds."
The Student Federalists are aware of the important part
that the students of today are to play in the forming of a
new and better world, and it is for this reason they have
adopted these three principles to awaken the people of the
world: x
1. Stimulate thinking on the urgent need for fed
eral world government
2. Educate our generation in the principles of
federalism
3. Find, train, and organize the necessary leaders
There is little doubt that this is the kind of spirit that
was referred to at the Collegiate Press convention that you
attended in Chicago.

Ray Milland, appearing in Para

ceived a pair of cuff links in the
form of earrings from director
Mitchell Leisen as a "Thank you"
present the day the film was com
pleted. ,
Boris Karloff, .Marc Lawrence
and Katherine DeMille play In
dian roles for the first time in
their movie careers in C. B. De
Mille's big-budget story of early
America, "Unconquered."
Hollywood's newest favorite,
young Rory Calhoun, gets his first
starting role in Pine-Thomas'
"Adventure Island," a Paramount
release adapted from Robert Louis
Stevenson's classic "Ebb Tide."
Joan Cauiljjeld had never danced
before signing her Paramount
movie contract, but learned to tap
after a concentrated five months'
study. She has no chance to show
her skill, however, in her latest,
"Dear Ruth."
Students in the animal hus
bandry class at Iowa State College
have a real incentive to buckle
down and study hard! One day the
test grades were low, and so the
professor decided to do something
to improve them. One of the ques
tions in the next test will concern
estimating the weight before and
after slaughtering of beef cattle.
The student who estimates the
weight most accurately of the ani
mal used for the test, will be
given a steak from the animal be
ing judged. And what is more, the
student may pick the steak and
specify its thickness!
One of the biggest eventa of this
semester at Kansas State was the
debate Monday in the College
Auditorium between Kansas' lead
ing candidates for governor, Re
publican Frank Carlson, and
Democrat Harty Woodring. The
auditorium seats 2,200, and ap
proximately 2,500 attended the
debate. Most talked of question
was the liquor issue, for which
Kansas is famous. The Repub
lican candidate failed to commit
himself on the issue, the Demo
cratic candidate stated that, if
elected, he would ask the next
session of the legislature to re
peal the BoncDry law.
The Indiana Daily Student, In
diana University, wants to know
why Ident pictures always look
like the design on the back of a
playing card. According to obser
vations made by a member of the
Daily Student staff, the photo
graphers seem to be quite capable,
and the camera used is a good
one, and yet most of the pictures
have the appearance of being
stolen from a post office bulletin
board. This discription fits Uni
versity of Nebraska Ident pictures
pretty well, and it calls back Miss
Kady Faulkner's well-known com
ment that there are only two kinds
of ident pictures either the "vic
tims" look like convicts or
morons.
If students at Drake University
are late to classes they have a
good excuse. The Victory Bell on
the campus, rung when the Drake
football team wins, doubles as
class bell, and now, for the sec
ond time in less than a year, the
clapper to the bell has been
stolen. Last April, after the bell
was missing for sometime, it was
found in a Des Moines pawn shop.
This time a ransom note, signed
by "The Filthy Five." was found
in the school paper office, stating
that the clapper was stolen be
cause the team had been losing

Veterans
Any veteran who was un
married when he applied for
his G.I. educational benefits,
and who has married since
then, should apply immediately
(if he has not already done so)
for the subsistence allowance of
$90 per month allowed to vet
erans with dependents. Since
this increased subsistence is not
retroactive to the date of mar
riage, but instead to the date of
application for this increased
subsistence, it is important that
application be made at once.
Application should be made at
the Veterans Administration
Office, Room 615, Sharp Build
ing, Lincoln.

all its games .and so a Victory
Bell was not needed on the cam
pus, and that the clapper would
be returned when the team won
game. A second ultimatum
stated: "Declare two skip days,
and we'll bring the clapper back
on Sunday."
Hollywood parties are back in
vogue. Take the one at David
Selznick's tennis court. Electric
ally lit fruit salads each salad
set upon a tall silver plate
equipped with light bulb and tiny
batteries were served!

There's No Place Like Nebraska
. . . Oui!
'Tis truly amazing bow Art
Bcindorff and staff can hope for
a rally turnont ... no co-operation.
For once it can't be blamed
on the students. ,
There are just a few disguist-
ing situations that arose during
Homecoming weekend that need
definite clarification.
Some Whys and Whines:
Why was a play scheduled in
the Temple the night of the tradi
tional Homecoming rally so that
yells had to be done by Braille
past 12th and R?
Why a m;itinee of the same
production at the identical hour
of the Homecoming float parade?
Why classes and tests the morn
ing of the Big Day?
In other words, why not a
break" on Homecoming?
The only answer I'll probably
get is "no one begged you to go
school here, son!"
Something must be done to pre
vent a repeat performance of this
current farce. Something besides
abolishing Homecoming, that is.
Brush the cob webb off your door
handles, boys, lift your feet out
of sand give your honest sup
port to the guy and gal pep or
ganizations so that we can all
add some life to the place "there's
no place like."

trator of bigger and better pep

for no praise, and all work, prints
the posters announcing theSis-Boom-Baah
confabs.
Been told that fullback Tom
Novak, hailed the greatest since
Smashin' Sam, claims you "ain't
