Time for Reflection
Time . . . just a little time.
The most valuable ingredient in a college student's life.
Yet, in this Holy Season, this period of Lenten service,
of what do our sacrifices for our Christian faith consist?
The familiar deferences to Lent are cigarettes, candy,
ice cream, movies actually insignificant luxuries in our
daily lives. Lenten sacrifices are lightly made, and easily
broken.
Why isn't time given for Lent? It surely would be a
notable contribution, a real expression of belief.
Why not time to listen to "One Great Hour" Saturday
night? Why not time for church on Sunday morning, dis
cussions that evening, choir rehearsals, religious forums,
student house activities? Why can't we take, or make
several minutes, perhaps even an hour, for Christian reflec
tion or activity during a week? Why not a little time?
Lent puts our faith to test by creating special opportu
nities to give time to religion. The challenge of the Holy
Season is to think and act in the spirit of the Eastertide.
Why not meet that challenge by making the greatest
sacrifice? Why not give time the most valuable ingredient
in a college student's life?

THE PRESENT trend of foiling
prices accounted for a cut in the
Army Engineering Funds in
Washington Wednesday. The cut
was announced by the House ap
propriations committee and was
24 lower than the original re
quest by President Truman. The
committee said they believed con
struction costs would fall at least
brc. This cut would affect such
porjects as river, harbor, and
flood control work.

'Happy Union' With Union

It's "Union Now" for the so
cially minded at the University
of Nebraska.
Dri-nite clubs, Sunday eve
ning movies, bridge lessons and
even coffee hours are all on the
calendar of the student who
comes to the Union. Headed by
Mrs. Dorothy Day, the student
activities department of the Un
ion is planned completely for the
good times of Nebraska students.
For those who like traditional
events, the Union has a complete
calendar of yearly parties and
aflairs. Starting with the Fresh
man Reception and Open House
with the Chancellor in the fall,
the social calendar continues with
the Union Christmas party be
fore holiday vacation. Neither
the wassal bowl nor Christmas
caroling is forgotten at this an
nual yuletide party.
INIONTZERS. Dn-Nite clubs
and Juke Box Flings all run the
Lincoln entertainment clubs close

Orchestras or combos play for the

To the Editor:
In order to present a more complete picture of the Coed Counseln
organization we would like to enumerate all of the activities of tlfTs
group. The primary aim of the Coed Counselor organization is to
orient freshmen women to campus life. This means that the Coed
Counselors must contact every freshman woman entering the univer
sity. This is done through personal letters written during the summer.
It would be impossible to know at that time which freshman girls
would affiliate and which would not. Consequently, it is imperative
that an organization made up of equal representation of Greeks and
Barbs should be responsible for these duties. No other organization
on the campus has this type of equal representation of affiliated and
unaffiliated women.
We believe that it is very es."fial at the outset, that all girls
entering our university should le; know each other and should
build together as freshmen, a lo; . ' each other and to the uni
versity. Were this responsibility to be relegated to some other organ
ization, this objective would be defeated.
Coed Counselors also performs another important service to the
administration during registration and other periods which has been
termed "indispensable." Among the other activities of the organza-
tion are the Friendship Dinner for
four yearly get-acquainted parties for all freshmen women, the "big
sister program," the weekly hour programs planned to give cultural
training to all girls.
Any group responsible for organizing and helping all freshmen
girls entering university life must be a strong and well-coordinated
group dedicated to this function.
It is true that all organizations can, with profit, change procedures
and reorganize from time to time. We welcome constructive criticism
and hope to profit by it. But, we arc firmly in agreement that our
function to help all' freshmen girls is great enough to need the organ
ization known as Coed Counselors.
Sincerely,
Jackie Wightman

Meddling With Meli'ck
By M. J.
The faction has failed. It
seemed at the out-set of all this
ing concoctions all add to the
spice of the occasions.
Each week linds itself full of
Union activities, too. Starting
op Sunday, socialites may drop in
at 5 p. m. for the Coffee Hour
in the Lounge. Free refresh
ments are served and organ back
ground music provides a restful
col lege atmosphere. Students
my stay on at the Union for the
movie at 7:30 in the ballroom.
Full length features are shown,
and best of all, there is no
charge. N
ON Tl'ESDAYS one can pause
between the rush of classes to
drop in at the Siesta Film hour
and see some selected short fea
tures along the lines of sports,
March of Time or travel. These
too are Iree. At 4.30, if there
is still some time left to snatch
from the books, one may drop in
on the coke dance in the ball
room to pick out a partner for
some recorded dance tune.
Hack 1o the old days go the
Flicker Night movies, presented
once or twice a semester. The
true old-time atmosphere Dad
and Mom courted to tomes back
with the piano or organ back
ground music to the jiunpy films
of the past. Peanuts and pop
corn complete the scene.
FOR FRESHMEN (or others)
who need a little polish on their
social liont, the Union provides
lessons in bridge and social and
square dancing. The bridge and
social dancing are taken care of
during the first semester but the
"squares" receive their instruc
tion the second term. Incident
ally, these instruction periods are
an excellent time to meet a
ipare date.
Of course, the Crib always
comes in handy for a coke date
or a cup of coffee. Always full
of campus characters, the Crib
is a vital facet of every stu
dent's extracurricular life.
For those "quiet evenings at
home" try the Union's home away
from home. The lounge provides
a quiet atmosphere, complete
with easy chairs-big-enough-for-two,
a radio and an organ. What
more can a home-loving couple
ask?
There's always something go
n
ing on at the Union. Drop i

political party business that oer-
haps the faction was really sin
cere in its attempt to come out
in the. open and really consider
the welfare of the entire student
body. But it was rather obvious
in last night's Council meeting
that such is not the case.
The first issue, which illus
trated the fact, was the com
plete disregard for suggestions
other than those concerning po
litical parties yes, we mean
the constitutional convention.
Granted that the political party
idea is all well and pood. Coun
cil members, especially made
members, seem to be incapable
of even listening to any pro
posals other than ones which
would permit the faction to
operate in any form other than
the one embodied in the present
University party which is of
course, exactly the same method
by which the faction has always
been run.
Still all well and good if they
are endeavoring to run the party
in an objective, if not honest,
form. But that seems a trifle
dubious, too. The instinct of
self-preservation is still strong.
This was illustrated by the ac
tion on a motion to amend Coun
cil by-laws and thereby postpone
the spring election.
Had the election been post
poned which it was not the
faculty would have had an op
portunity to p;is on the validity
of the present party constitutions
both of which are equally sad.
The measure was voted down.
It seems fairly evident that it
was voted down because it would
nave given me iaciiuy a cnancr
to in some measure "white wash"
the constitutions of the two par
ties. It also seems evident that
it was voted down in an effort
to stifle publicity changes.
The changes, presented to the
Council by Bev Sievers and
Dick Schleusener, would have
relaxed the Council restrictions
and permitted some campaign
ing, the only method by which
unaffiliated and non-factional
candidates may be known. It
is a simple matter for the Uni
versity party we use this term
and faction synonomously to
make known the identity of its
candidates. A few phone calls
guarantee the votes of some 300
men. It is not a relatively sim
ple matter for other candidates
to contact the students.
The Council, and its faction
members, profess a desire for a
large vote from the student body.
Certainly the number of voters
could be increased through ac-kj
tive political campaigning, either
by individuals or parties.
A few faction members did
break away from the party stand
