UN As I See It . . .
When I came to the University Friday, I did not know
if I would choose this school as the college I would enter
next fall. The huge buildings and expansive campus gave
me an empty feeling . . . one that made me feel as if I
were only a small fish in a vast ocean. Students were
rushing to classes, and the cold air gave me little comfort.
After locating the Union, I was greeted by Corn Cobs
and Tassels, wTho conducted NHSPA members on a tour
of the campus. ' We visited the important buildings, and
each seemed to offer us a wealth of knowlege. Love library,
one of the nation's finest, contains as many as 500,000
books. The great variety of reading material found there
astounded me.
I have visited several state universities, but none seem
to offer as much as the University of Nebraska. As soon
as I had completed the tour, I was convinced that I would
enroll this fall, not only because I was impressed by its
size, but because of the friendly atmosphere, so typical of i
this Nebraska locale.
Nebraska offers especially good courses in journalism,
law, pharmacy, engineering, dentistry, business administra
tion, agriculture and chemistry. Because the state now
ranks fourth in its education system, a college degree from
this school is anticipated by me.

Potential Journalists Answer
Queries About Fourth Estate
Inquiring Reporters Uncover
Thoughts of High School Kids
BY STJZAINE BENNETT,
KAY OLDFATHRER, SHIRLEY
HEFFELFINGER BEATRICE.
With world problems being
what they are, such important
Questions as who was Kilroy,
why did Sam make the pants too
long, why do the street lights turn
red, and why doesn't Richard open
the door are some of the more
pressing thoughts that are running
through the minds of the high
school journalists here for the
Nebraska High School Press Asso
ciation convention.
From the more brilliant high
school students came these intelli
gent answers about Kilroy:
Betty Jean Chatterton, Bellevue:
Old rocking chair has him.
Wayne Kluet, Seward (this is a
college kid; they know all the
answers!): He's the man the
G. I.'s talk about when they're
lonesome.
Bill Moomey, York, (another of
the smart collegians): Did he
play football?
Dick Cordell, Lincoln high:
Well, I guess he's Scarlet O'Neill's
kid brother.
And now, why did Sam make I
the pants too long (darned if we
know).
Beverly Jo Powell, Lincoln high:
To keep his feet warm.
Ben Walkingstick, Lincoln high
(guess they got all the brains up
there): So he wouldn't have to
wear socks. (They are scarce
items, you know!)
Don Hanson, Greely, California
(collegian): So the guy he sold
them to could cut 'em off and
make his girl a pair of pedal
pushers.
Everyone knows that the ques
tion of why the street light turns
red has puzzled many a budding
Einstein, so just to prove that
there is an answer, here's what
some of the kids think:
Pinky Heffelfinger, Beatrice:
You'd turn red, too, if you had to
change in front of all those
people! !
Loretta Rieple, Bellevue: I
guess it's because there are only
three colors on it.
Wally Graff, Beatrice: They
didn't teach me that in college.
Bill Eyth, Beatrice (These Phi
Psi's are really sharp): The do
flain works the thermothxopal and
turns the gismo that flips the
glucko and naturally, it turns red.
Who wouldn't know that?
Oh yes, we almost forgot about
that little kid, Richard:
Jim Francke, Lincoln high: No
hands!
Don Minnick, Fairbury: The
guy that wants it has his suit on.
Cathleen Cox, Lincoln high:
Richard doesn't live there any
more.
Phyliss Thomas, Nebraska City:
Probably 'cuz no one said please.
Jack Louden, Lincoln high: It
was a Yale lock and he was a
Harvard man! (What people
don't think of! )
Roland Beideck, Walton high:
Because his clothes are at the
laundry.
Some of the people who are be
hind the times gave these answers:
If you want your name in
print
Just give ms a boldfaced hint,
We'll probably twist it a little
But we'll get it on the grittle.
This column Mars our pride
because we didn't plan-et
Your little meteor heaters,
Venus, Pluto, and Neptune.
BY LORENE IIOSCIIELE,
NORMA NORDAIIL, CAROL
CAMPBELL; LINCOLN HI
