Wet Reception
ji"1iitf'ylbilWWi
(CourteBy of the Lincoln Journal)
ONLY A LITTLE WET University band members found the
reception for President Truman at the Burlington station a little
wet. Band uniforms suffered shrinkage and fading, but students
serenaded the President anyway. Bandmasters Betty Jane Bruck,
Ruth Kennedy, and an unidentified player found it a little drier
under the umbrella. Other NU students met the president as part of
and ROTC guard, while still others just came to listen. The presi
dent stopped in Lincoln while on a nation-wide trip to give his
first major address of the tour.

Georgia Man
Tape Records
Class Notes
A talking notebook is a big
help when examinations roll
around at Emory university in
Georgia, according to Jeff Abra
ham, senyir phychology major.
Instead of a notebook of
scrawled class notes, Abraham
assembles a neat file of tape re
cordings of significant lectures.
Then he just lies back and lis
tens. "Its a streamlined way to cram
for exams," he admits, "but re
corded lectures have, their draw
backs. I don't find time to lis
ten to all 45 hours of class over
again and the professor Is sure
to ask us about something I
didn't replay."
Abraham declared that the
tape recorder is most valuable
in playing back the lectures the
same evening, and in helping
him to understand the work bet
ter. Teachers dod not object to the
machine in the classroom. They
are interested, and are anxious
to listen to their own recordings.
Abraham can pick up the pro
fessor's voice from the front row.
His machine weighs only 15
pounds and holds a reel of tape
that records for two hours silent
ly. The tape can be erased "by
simply recording over it.
"Perhaps the recorder could
attend class for me when I want
a cut, but I haven't tried that,"
says Abraham. "Sometimes, how
ever, I do cutch a little sleep.
I know I can hear the lecture
served as toastml.stress. Flowers
for the tables were a gift of the
later."

The weeks activities started
with a convocation in the Union

Speakers were Chancellor R. G.
Gustavson, Alumni Secretary
Secretary William Day and Se
nior Class president Bill Mueller.
Alum Value.
The purpose of the convocation
was to instill the idea of class
spirit into the Senior Class as
a group and to make students
realize their value to the Uni
versity as alumni nembers.
Day, former football coach at
Nebraska, told the seniors of
their duty to the University and
the Alumni association after
graduation. He urged all seniors
to become active members of
the association.
The Senior Week has been
planned by the newly formed
Senior council headed by Rod
Lindwall.
Stanford Campus
Leaves NSA
Stanford University has with
drawn from the National Stu
dents association because of the
high cost of operating the local
NSA committee.
Student body representatives
felt that the $1,294 spent during
the current school year was too
much for the benefits gained
from It. The main expenses were
the traveling expenses for con
ventions which are considered to
be among the most important
functions of NSA.
Students expressed the belief
that though NSA does a "great
job" in helping build student or
ganization in the smaller colleges,
well-established student bodies
did not derive comparable benefits.
THE DAILY NEBRASKAN

The worst Lincoln flood in 42
years hit the city last night and
helping in the rescue work were
many University students. Mem
bers of the Red Cross College
Unit and individual volunteers
joined with city, state and na
tional Red Cross disaster workers
to care for the people left home

Several students worked all
last night evacuating flood vic
tims and caring for those rescued.
Bob Mosher, president of the
college unit, was busy all night
transporting, by trucks, cots and
other emergency equipment from
the University to the temporary
Red Cross headquarters at Park
School. 8th and F streets.
Web Emory, swimming in
structor at the University and
Lincoln High School, also helped
the evacuation workers during
the entire night.
All day Tuesday workers at
Park School were caring for the
homeless. In a call to The Daily
Nebraskan, Jan Lindquist, vice
president of the RCCU, reported
that she and four other coeds
were presently serving food and
taking care of the flood victims.
Miss Lindquist issued a plea for
all students with free l.me
Wednesday to offer their services
to the Red Cross. "All help will
be appreciated, from stenograph

said.

According to George D. Gates,
field representative for the na

most of the work now being done

Temporary housing has been

The flood, which claimed 11

At least 100 " families were
made homeless in southwest
Lincoln by the flood. Most of
these were cared for at Park
school and according to Vernon
Zimmerman, director of the Ne

serious nature" had reported to
the emergency hospital ward.
Helping them in rescue work
were a number of national guard
anphibious "ducks." They travel

rescuing helpless citizens who
had not alerted soon enough to
avoid the raging torrents.
Officials said the widening and

Salt Creek's
Drives Many
At 2:30 a.m. the city is us
ually asleep. Such was not the
case Tuesday.
While a good many of Lin
coln's residents were dry, warm
and comfortable, others were
flooded from their homes. While
most were resting comfortably
on their beds, some were perched
uncomfortably on rooftops, then
beds underwater. Salt Creek
again had risen.
This writer, hearing broad
casts of the disaster, found
hundreds of the city's popula
tion grouped together at the
edge of the flood, less than half
a mile from 13th and South
street. Rescue squads, news
papermen and homeless families
provided a vocal undercurrent to
the persistent swirl of the waters
a few feet away.
Stranded on Roofs
The night air was chilly and
the rising waters merely added
to the dampness. Toward the
west, all that could be seen was
an endless valley of watt r. The
silence of the night, usually pen
etrated only by an occasional
train-whistle, was spasmodically
broken by distant, plaintive
sounds. Upon asking, this writer
found that the sounds were the
cries of families stranded on the
roofs of houses, thousands of
feet away.
One man told of earlier driv
ing down a near-flooded country
road. About three miles from
Lincoln, he turned back to see
the entire road behind him a
swirling sea. Realizing his folly,
he parked his car on the highest
point available and set off cross
country toward town. He said
that he expected to find his car
in a week, frobnbly demolished
and resting in the foot of a ra
vine Worse than '40.
Reports of first-hand observ
ers differed as to the extent of
the flood. One man, a resident of
''lower Lincoln" for nearly 40
years, remarked that it was the
highest that he had ever seen
Salt Creek. "It's way above '42,"
he said. He was referring to 1942
when, at about the same time
of the year, Salt Creek again
went on a rampage.
Another observer, a young la
borer, was serving as a member
of the rescue squad. Using a
motor boat, he was trying to
reach the farthest homes under
water. He admitted It was im
possible to get to the stranded
families.
"The water's just ton fast," he

said. "The current and the logs
in the water are too dangerous
for a boat to get any place." He
added that he noticed numerous
livestock in the water, especially
goats.
According to radio station
KLMS, which certainly deserve
praise for staying on the air the
entire night, the waters were
rising. According to most of the
newspapermen and rescue-men,
the waters were receding.
It made no difference. Salt
Creek had done its damage.
ContToPkk
Ugliest Tar Hcl
Newest contest to hit the Uni
versity of North Carolina is' the
"Ugliest Man on Campus" con
test sponsored by Theta Chi
fraternity.
To enter the contest, male
students simply make themselves
up to look as ugly as possible
and have their pictures taken.
Grease paint and make-up, not
facial expression will count in
selecting the winner, who will
receive a date with Miss Modern
Venus and an evening complete
with steaks and an orchid.
The contest has the backing
of one of the oldest clubs on
campus the Ugly club, which
was formed almost as soon as
the doors of the University were
opened and until an urrfortunate
incident occurred it was one of
the leading campus organiza
tions. It was forced to disband,
however, when its members set
off a keg of dynamite in an in
structors home and blew up the
house.
