one on the shopping list. In order to inject a note of origin
ality into our gift suggestions, we are publishing a list, not
for the "Gift She's Always Wanted," but the "Gift She'll
Probably get." Since we can't forget the men, we've fer
retted out their heart's desires, too, but they aren't on the
list You figure out why not.

More Education . . .
Tonight's convocation speaker will discuss the question
Why Education for Marriage and Parenthood" Nebras
ka students after hearing the discussion majr well ask "Why
don't we have education for marriage ?"
One course a year is offered to students on the city
campus dealing with that question. That class is, natural
ly, limited in enrollment and is scheduled at only' one time
during the second semester. With the present rate of mar
riage among the university students as high as it is, there
should be more courses along this line open to more of
these students.
Since a great majority of students now in school plan
to be married some time during their lives, additional classes
on marriage and parenthood in the curriculum would draw
large enrollments. The scheduling of such courses, not only
at Nebraska, but in every college in the nation, might pro
vide an answer to the divorce problem. The wives, hus
bands and parents of tomorrow have a right to know what
they are getting into.
We, the students, can use some good practical educa
tio on that point and can only get it with the addition of
good courses on marriage to the curriculum. S. J.
Dear Madam Editor:
In countries thruout the world, students generally have
been at the fore in the battle for academic freedom and the
extension of democracy in their native lands. But the Ameri
can student in indeed unique! His battles are not those of
the picket line or the petition. His interests seem to center
about the football game and the crease of his trousers.
He picks up a newspaper and rapidly passes by the Mo
. lotov statement, hardly notices the mine strike, and breathes
a sigh of relief upon finding the comic section. He is aroused
more by the antics of a j'ell prince th?.n by anti-Semetic
beatings in bis own back yard. If American progress is to
be on the independent thinking of this new citizenry, then
there is a dark decade ahead of us.
When you approach the American student with a mirror
he either ignores you and orders another coke, or throws
ap his hands and moans, "What can I do?"
There's a great deal he can do! He can rally just &s
easily for peace as for the big game. He can write to his
congressman with the same pen used to write his themes.
He can listen as intentjy to a forum on the coal strike as to
thfl PI lrr"! intra nf Viic Aoa '
An awareness of the world
challenge facing the American student. He Hiust join with
the students of other countries to think and act on the
problems facing them.

Described as everything from
the ice-box falling over to an
atomic bomb from you know
where, Lancaster county had its
own peculiar form of ghosties this
week when a "large, stratospheric
flash' exploded about thirty miles
from Lincoln early Tuesday eve
ning. Reports on whatever you wart
to call it, started coming in about
7:30 Tuesday evening and at last
hearing, the whole affair may
wind up by bringing 'Our Boy'
back from Germany to make sure
it isn't a democratic plot to con
trol cattle production.
Who Dan It?
As is always the case with some
unexplained natural phenomena.
the local intelligentsia had its ownj
private explanation. One of the
more militaristically inclined lad
dies was ready to march on Mos
cow immediately. Our favonte

we're going ahead on the reason

Just watch that radiation in the

some other reason than not hav

moreover, the bureau succeeded in
placing only about 30 percent of
the applying students. Part-time
work only may be sought thru
the bureau.
All students who have applied
through the bureau and have been
referred to jobs are requested to
notify the bureau, whether or not
they have been placed. This will
enable the office to continue seek
ing work for them if they still
need employment, and will great
ly facilitate office work.
