A"f Exec Board
Yule Program
Well Received
An appreciative audience of
500 students and faculty enthusi
astically received the annual pre
scntation of the Ag Exec Board
Christmas program Wednesday
evening.
From the effective candlclight
ing ceremony down to the singing
of the "Hallelujah Chorus," gen
eral comments on the performance
voiced complete approval.
Dr. C. Vin White, new pastor
at the first Presbyterian church,
delivered the Christmas message
at intermission. Dr. White spoke
on the subject, "What makes Jesus
attractive?"
The Ag College Chorus, under
the direction of Mrs. Altinas Tul
lis, presented four choruses from
Handel's Messiah. Soloists were,
Mavis Musgrave, Helen Oschner,
and Neal Baxter, and Miriam
Bratt was accompanist.
Mrs. Tullis' appearance was a
credit to her courage as she has
been confined to bed for the past
two weeks following an accident
on the icy streets. She sustained
injuries to both knees and, as a
result, was able to stand up for
only a short time.
The invocation was pronounced
by the Rev. Alvin Petersen, Luth
eran Student Pastor, and the bene
diction was given by the Rev.
John Sheaff, Pastor at the Ep
worth Methodist church.

Rag' Review
Tells of Other
Christmases
Christmas is Christmas and
The Daily Nebraskan front page
looks pretty much the same year
after year with its conventional
rosy greetings and best wishes.
But the accompanying news
which reflects campus interests
and activities reveals just what
one might expect: no two year
are very much alike.
In 1939, student life was still
somewhat on the "rah-rah" level,
but the influence of the war rag
ing in Europe was given indica
tion by a cartoon of Santa Claus
wearing a gas mask and helmet
as he descended a chimney and
a front page editorial which quot
ed the Bible and current news re--leases
alternatively.
1941 and War.
In 1941, the war was no longer
a thing "over there." Daily Edi
tor Mary Kerrigan took an opti
mistic view by saying ". . . we
can be thankful because we are
aliv and free. We still live In a
country where we are free to
strive for personal happiness and
for the welfare of others.' Lead
stories gave information that
"Students Entering CPT Must
Prove Citizenship" and "Phys Ed
Heads Ask Men 'Keep Fit for De
fense.' "
Peace Conference.
The 1944 Christmas edition
stuck pretty close to campus news,
leading a "Coed Follies" story.
However, Prof. David Fellman
wrote a "Peace Conference Pre
views" to prepare students for
that conference which put UN
temporarily in the national spot
light. Les Glotfelly expressed the
woes of the publications people in
her famed "Les. Said the Better,"
declaring that the "Cornhusker
filched our paste, our copy paper,
our reporter, our typewriters and
even a story or two for the yearbook."
1945.
The 1945 Christmas editorial
summed things up for the semes
ter, to-wit, "It's been a great se
mester the men came back to
school the administration ap
proved the new men's dorm (the
one bright light in their other
wise misguided efforts) the War
Council disappeared formats
came back with the Mortor Board
ball UN won four football games
Biff Jones got the boot the
Board of Regents appeared briefly
and then crawled back into its
hole the Awgwan continued to
be obnoxious the scholarship av
erage was finally on its way up
it snowed and Christmas vaca
tion finally got within shooting
distance."
In 1946, the Daily was once
again editorially whooped up the
Ag college bus system, with its
usual results. A bold, black two
column headline said simply.
Farmer Fair Will Return" with
no thanks to General MacArthur.
Changes for the coming semester,
as reported by wise-cracking col
umnists in "All that s fit to print
AND THIS TOO" included, "A
life-sized statue of Blue-car Ben
nie will be erected in front of the
women's dorm."
1947 what the Christmas edi
tion reflects, says, declares, con
demns, indicates, or contends the
reader must see for himself. One
sure thing can be expected: The
Daily Nebraska staff wishes you
all a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year!
Board of Control Member
Tells Duties To Law Croup
Mrs. Harold Prince, member of
the State Board of Control, guest
peaker at a luncheon of Delta
Theta Phi, law fraternity, ex

ities of the board, informing the

over the state, as well as its house
keeping and custodial duties.

tion about the crowded condi
tions in the Middle West mental
