For Your Information
The majority of students on campus have little knowl
edge of the organization of co-ops nor of their activities in
connection with the university.
Probably few were conscious that the Central League
of Campus Co-ops held their annual membership conference
here late last year with a member of the Pioneer Co-op
on campus serving as chairman for the two day meeting.
At that time the delegates, attending from numerous
colleges and universities throughout, the central states,
voted to join the North American Student Cooperative
League,, the first of five regional campus co-op federations
to do so. This alone demonstrates, at least in part, the ex
tensive organization of the groups.
A national newspaper, "Co-ops on Campus," is printed
monthly during the school year by the Cooperative League
of the USA. The paper's purpose was to "bind campus co
ops together with national educational publications and con
ferences. The co-ops on the UN campus, being members of these
regional and national groups, form an important part of
an organization far-reaching in the light of student educa
tional benefits, and those benefits are two-fold: to the stu
dent and likewise to the college or university which he attends.
Personally Speaking
By Norm Leger
Norm Leger sure hit the nail on the head this week
when he went to town on the actions of spectators at bas
ketball games. The crowd has gotten completely out of
hand. Don't you feel this could all be quieted and redirected
if the coach or athletic director would step to the mike and
with some well chosen words put the curse on such foul
and ill conceived antics. These two officials seem to think
the problem will solve itself apparently. It will . . . but with
the result that most universities will think twice before long
before they will want to play on our floor.
And isn't it a shame that we have the best material
in years and are getting nowhere in the fight for basket
ball success. Wouldn't it be nice if our fight and courage
and determination and individual desire to play could have
the benefit of some coaching in some of the team play and
finesse on offense and defense that all our opponents have
shown in every game here ? Put our natural fight and de
sire together with some instruction and building of squad
morale and we would have something.
Dozens of good boys are not getting a chance to play,
even when the apparent five regulars are not doing so well.
It was a pleasure to see two beginners finally get a chance
to work at center against Oklahoma to show one of trr
boys he might not be indispensable ? And why do not some
of our all-state basketball freshmen even get the chance to
play with the nubbins? Or must we depend each year on
nothing but an Indiana importation?
Most of the students know now why we have lost so
many basketball games already this season. We did not
expect conference champions. We did hope for-development
of many boys to get ready for bigger things another
year. Talk to any of the students who know any of the
men on the squad and the real problem will be well known.
Let's have a little less brawn and booing and a little more
skill and sawy and we might go places. And what about
a defense? BOYS FROM HUSKERVILLE.
It is possible, oddly enough, for a eampus organization to accom
plish a great deal of work and to receiove a minimum of recognition
and publicity. We speak of the Student Foundation. Since its work
is mainly concerned with future university students, the students on
campus are too little aware of the good of the organization. Our hope
is that the facts stated here will amend, in part, for the past lack of
recognition, and promote more student body interest in the work ac
complished by the Foundation.
Lorene Novotny, president of the Student Foundation, readily in
formed us of what all the foundation does, "Our primary aim is to
publicize the university to high school students in Nebraska and to
encourage them to attend the university after graduation. We send to
every county newspaper news tips that give information of university
activities. Our news differs rfom that sent out by other publicity de
partments in that it is personalized. News concerning individual stu
dents is sent to the paper in the county of the student's home. Each
spring we publish an informative pamphlet which is sent to every
Nebraska high school. This pam
phlet tells the seniors the im
portant facts about UN that they
should know.
"There are some 200 students
working for the Foundation. In
addition to the officers, there are
seven district chairmen. Assigned
to each county is one student who
is responsible for sending the
news of students from that county
to the home town papers.
"In addition to sending out pub
licity, we act as a host to high
school students whenever they are
on the campus during the summer
All-State music sessions, the bas
ketball tournaments, and Boys'
State and Girls' State assem
blages. In the spring we provide
tours of the university for seniors
who come to Lincoln on their
'sneak' day.
"Altho our main work is to
stimulate interest in the univer
sity on the part of high school
students, we also strive to pro
vide a more unified feeling of
students now on the campus and
to increase student loyalty to the
school.
"During the war, before the GI
Bill of Rights was passed, the
Foundation set up a scholarship
fund that was intended to help
vets returning to school. The fund
was established by contributions
from campus .organizations and
organized houses. These scholar
ships of 50 dollars a year are
granted to enrolled vets who at
tended the university before they
entered the service. Several schol
arships were granted last spring,
and if there are any vets pres
ently interested in obtaining one
he should contact me.
"Other activities? As you prob-

ably know, we publish the student
directory, and, incidentally, a few
copies of this year's edition are
still available. At the Valentine
tea dance we aid the Cornhusker
in presenting the Beauty Queens,
a job that the Foundation's male
workers particularly relish."
As you see, all of us are con
nected indirectly with the Foun
dation we are the ones who
make the news and it might not
be a bad idea if we helped the
Foundation out by individually
striving to better the university
(that is, by striving to be a better
person) so that the power of the
Foundation's sales talk will be
increased.

" General George C. Marshall, the
United State's newly-appointed
secretary of state, continued to
maintain silence under the ques
tions which have been fired at
him since early Tuesday when his
appointment to succeed James
Byrnes was announced.
The surprise move, according to
Marshall, had been on the fire
for several months but it caught
international circles off balance.
"What happens now?" is being
asked in every capital of Europe
and the Marshall appointment hu
been received with mixed reac
tions. Byrnes' resignation, closely fol
lowing that of Bernard Baruch's
from the atomic commission, is
causing speculation as to the
change which will be brought
about in American foreign policy.
Named as Time magazine's "Man
of the Year," Byrnes' resignation
followed this recognition by a
short two weeks.
Marshall is now being lauded

she says.
Cornhusker

for the Cornhusker may order

tor, in the Cornhusker office
which is open every afternoon.
as a possible 1948 presidential
candidate but the YMI graduate
turns away ny leading questions
on the subject. When asked if be
was a democrat, Marshall ans
wered, "I am an army officer and
presumably will be secretary of
state. And I am an Episcopalian,"
which leaves the whole question
very mach in the dark.
nussian-ownea newspapers in
occupied territories greeted the
news favorably, basing their deci
sion on Marshall's work in China,
which has been interpreted as be
ing more impartial to the com
munist party. The Shanghai Rus
sian Daily News commented that
Byrnes' "foreign policy possessed
a clearly imperialistic character
and in many ways proved to be
an obstacle to solving whole series
of important questions before the
U.N."
Moscow news sources have not,
as yet, commented officially on
the state department change.
Main interest on the home
scene came with Rep. Francis
Case, republican from South Da
kota, and his bill introduced on the
floor of the house authorizing
government officials to enjoin la
bor unions from striking when
the strike endangers the good of
the public.
Case met defeat with a similar
bill nearly a year ago when the
president vetoed it, but the orig
inator of what will undoubtedly be
termed 'anti' labor legislation em-J
phasized his hope that this bill
would serve as an investigation
to congress to attempt a satisfac
tory labor management solution.
The bill supercedes other legis
lation which has been introduced
by congressional leaders, and it
enlarges on the original Case mo
tion. Judging from the tone of the
BOth congress, there seems to be
excellent opportunity for such
legal action to be passed despite
a Truman veto.
Brains Or No,
Shcstak Will
Always Write
BY G. T. SHESTAK. N
Would you like to be a muscle
man? Would you like to have to
walk side ways through door
ways? Would you like the ground
to shake and the women to swoon
as you ponderously amble along
the green-sward? Or the red
sward? Or the brown-sward?
What we need around this cam
pus is less brawn and . . ,
What's that? Why I'll write
about anything I wish. Hey, be
careful! Ouch, thats my ear! Leg
go, please, with sugar on it. No,
no, no, not to my nose! Ouch,
o. k., 1 11 change it; ouch, ouch.
Oh, my arm. No, I won't do it
again. Positive.
To Continue.
As I was saying, what we need
around this campus is more brawn
and less brains. But don't get
the idea that I'm intimidated by
anybody. Why, I'd be willing to
go a fall with the biggest man
on the campus if I could be sure
of landing on top. Still it might
be discreet to attack someone else.
The Tassels are a curious or
ganization but no more so than
the Corn Cobs. The Tassels are
group of girls (?) who sell
things, make noise at football
games, and count the returning
football players at the deixrt to
make sure none of them get left
behind.
Cold Ears.
They wear white stocking cans
which they aren't allowed to pull
down over their ears even on
cold days. They wear the creek
letters Phi Sigma Chi. which
stands for: Phooey on Screaming
Cheerleaders.
A Tassel once admitted to me
that she hated to go to football
games. She said it wasn't the
game she minded so much but
Mimi 'Ann kept sending her in
with advice to the quarterback.
She was all broken up, poor
thing. They had just taken away
her merit badges for speaking to
torn Cob.
Ah, yes the Corn Cobs. This is
an organization of ex-farm boys
who were home-sick for the old
sod. Consequently they wear an
ear of corn on their breasts, and
a whisp of hay just over the right
ear. For formal occasion ihv
may be seen with a rose in their
teeth.
You Sell I Sell.
They finance the organization
by selling advertising space. The
state of Nebraska has hired them
at present but campus rumors
have it that Pepsi-Cola is very
interested in subsidizing them.
Wow I imagine that there will
be a slight difference of opinion
about the whole thing. But don't
blame me. I have to run down
someone. Dr. Dysinger says it's
merely a compensation for being
three feet tall. I have an extreme
hypertorial complex which re
lieves me of responsibility. Any
scurilous letters can be addressed
to this paper or to me. Please
don't bother my mother.
