Day of 'He-Man' Past;
Slv Coeds Take Over
BY ELLIE SWANSON.
As much as I hate to say an
other word on the male and fe
male situation, I couldn't help no
ticing the past few months that
the young blades are slowly suc
cumbing to women's superior will
. . . they are becoming "hen
pecked." It was inevitable, of course, but
one thing we women pride our
selves on is that . . . we're so
subtle! For example, what could
be moie subtle than when a
comely young coed says to her
date, "Waldo, after all, I've let
you go out with me twice, I should
think you would at least be grate
ful enough to buy me a steak in
stead of a hamburger."
Changed Attitude.
There was a time when Waldo
would have answered (hoarsely),
Listen, worm, do you want to
eat or don't you?" He would
thereby have oroered her a pea
nut butter sandwich and said "ah,
shut up." But then there's the
meek submissive Waldo of today.
"Couldn't I get you something else
to break the monotony of an icky
dry old sirloin?"
Then we find Waldo answering
a telephone call after just settling
down to study for a chemistry
exam. "Waldo, I'm in the Crib and
I just can't seem to find my
cigarettes. I know you wouldn't
mind running over with a pack."
He speaks . . . "but ..." She
speaks . . . with emphasis. "Do
you want to go out with me to
night?" Slinks In Crib.
Not quite making the five min
ute limit she had set, he slinks
into the Crib sideways and even
tually spots her as the center of
Blood Donations
Handled by VA
It was erroneously reported in
the Thursday edition of The Daily
Nebraskan that the American Le
gion was guaranteeing blood don
ors $25 for donations. An agency
of the Veterans Administration
will handle the payment.
However, American Legion au
thorities have assured the public
that this will have no effect on
attraction in a booth with five
larger men. (Larger than himself,
that is.) Finally noticing Waldo,
a trifle inconspicious on his
knees, she breaks herself away
momentarily. "Joe loaned me his,"
she announces, exhaling a cloud
in his face. "See you tonight, say
at ten?"
"Do you think men are getting
discouraged?" I overheard a
casual conversation the other day
in which two of the more brutal
girls were beginning to wonder
how long their luck would hold
out. ''There're too stupid to give
up dating us," the other answered,
making a face at a persistent gen
tleman who refused to flirt back
at her.
Subtle Tricks.
"My conscience doesn't bother
me at all . . . it doesn t even
slightly object," returned the first,
realizing with a pang of hurt that
she didn't have a date for three
weeks from last Thursday. At
this point I broke in. "I don't
know what your attitude is, but
I think men are almost human."
"She may be right," one admitted
thoughtfully to the other. "I guess
I'll let my date dance with me
tonight without making him do
three backward flips with no
hands first."
Feeling that I had done my
deed for the day, I left, resolving
to reform slightly myself. After
all. women's angles ar endless
and men have so much to learn.
(My only encouragement to any
man who might have stumbled on
to this by accident is that we
women may have a mass meet
ing soon, and I will put up a mo
tion to declare men as near equals
to ourselves.)

All Badminton Players!
All university women are
urged to attend a badminton
meeting next Tuesday at 7;00
p. m. in Grant memorial. This
meeting is being sponsored by

BY NORM LEGER.
University life, apart from aca
demic work, seems to be spent by
many students, as you've observed
or discovered from your own ac
tivity, in the pursuit of what is
called a "good time," either in
the social whirl or in the extra
curriculars. Admittedly, social life
is enjoyable, and activities are
fun, and, as is our opinion, offer
valuable training to those who
participate in them, although there
are many critics, students as well
as professors, who would contest
the merit of our opinion.
However, we do feel, and we
sincerely hope we can find a uni
fied opinion here, that university
life consisting only of academic
work and outside fun lacks an
element that can give stability and
depth to the life of the students.
That elcmenf is religious training,
and every student, whatever his
creed may be, has an obligation
to himself to learn more about
his religion and to strengthen or
clarify his 'beliefs.
Today is the beginning of Re
ligion In Life Week which will
offer to every student valuable as
sistance in helping him to meet
his personal obligations. Mary Es
ther Dunkin, executive chairman
of Religion in Life Week, has
readily consented to tell you,
through this column, what there
is for you in the week's activities.
"First, there are a few things
I feel that need to be stressed so
that no student will have a mis
conception of what Religion in
Life Week is about. Its program
is inter-racial and inter-faith
which means that every student
enrolled in the university should
be interested and participate in

some phase of the week's activi
ties. The guest speakers include a
Jewish rabbi, three Catholic
priests, and a number of protes
tant ministers. The purpose of the
week is not to attempt to reach
a common ground of belief, but
rather to reach a common ground
of co-operation and understanding
of the various faiths.
"The theme of the week is 'The
Faith That Makes a Difference.'
and the speakers and discussions
will not be concerned with the
study of religion itself, but will
take up the phases of religion that
pertain to everyday living.
"The seminars will be concerned
with such topics as 'World Re
latedness,' 'Relieving Racial Ten
sions,' 'Problems of FaUh,' 'Prep
aration for Family Life Inter
Faith Understanding,' and 'Fun
damentals of Christian Faith.'
Don't let the word 'seminars'
frighten yon away; In most part,
they will be discussion groups in
which everyone may participate
which should prove to be kighly
interesting.
"One oi the outstanding fea
tures of the week will be the
Skeptics Hour which is scheduled
for Tuesday night. Here the stu
dents will have the chance to
voice any controversial question
he may have that needs answer
ing. The guest speakers of the
week will be the ones to answer
the questions, unanswerable as
some of them probably will be.
"The one event that no one
should miss is tonight's convoca
tion In the coliseum. Dr. T. Z.
Koo whom you already know
about, will give the address. I'm
sure that if the students attend
tonight's opening convocation they
will want to attend more of the
meetings throughout the week.

problems or to clarify conflicting
issues. There will be a both in
the Union where students may
sign up for these personal confer
ences at any hour of the day.
"Each day's program will be
printed in the Daily Nebraskan
so that the people who do not get
a program at tonight's convocation
may have a schedule of each day's
events.
'I hope that everyone on cam
pus will attend as many meetings
as possible. I often feel that col
lege students, because of their
changing ideas, are confused about
their religious beliefs, their faith
becomes vngue, and then tends to
remain that way. Religion in Life
Week can help the stuednts to
adjust his faith to the change of
philosophy brought about by his
college work."
