Tuesday, Noveml.-er 7.8, l95fl 4 .JX-t if THE DAILY NEBRASKAN I 3 ? o Yeah, So-WIiat . . . Once upon a time there was a, University panacea. It prevented headaches, lagging spirits, broken hearts and best of all, made serious thinking unnecessary. Naturally, it became popular and was widely used. It was so good that its use spread rapidly, ven though It hadn't the advantage of newspaper and radio advertising. Soon most of the people of the world were using it, and in ever increasing -quantities. There was nothing to buy, no pills, no treatment just the word 'So-wut." Whenever anything was unpleas- ant to think about, folks would "So-what," and then they could auit worrying. When something went wrong, "So- what." If they didn't like the way their government was run, "So-what." The worst thing about "so-what" was its habit form ing tendencies. After the first few uses, most folks refused to live without it. It became a part of their lives. Our civil liberties are in -danger. "'So-what." The H-bomb might destroy the world. ""So-what." We fase a third world war, "So-what," why do people worry about such things?" Neither self-preservation nor love of freedom could affect their attitude. Brotherly love didn t have a chance. As for an editorial . . , 'Teah, So-what?" Reprinted from the Kansas State Collegian. Dateless Coeds, 1950 Television By Jerry Bailey If University coeds are date less these evenings, and if cer tain males show up with risible symptoms of headache and eye strain the boys aren't hitting the books harder. It just means that the many men from the University's resi dence halls lor young gentlemen are finding television more en tertaining than an evening spent in local bistros or the parlors of 540 No. 16th. In brief, the Men's dorm now "has a television set. Whoever thought up the Idea first did not leave his name on the record book. Chances are that the idea was born sometime last -year. By the time Indian summer, 1950, rolled around the topic -was mentioned, frequently as the boys gatheredtaround the Coke machine for a stiff drink. All In Favor When the dorm elections were over and -delegates from each floor of the three dorm build ings assembled in solemn con clave, each and every delegate indicated that his constituency Ten to Receive Keys at Annual Bizad Banquet Gold keys "yill be presented to the ten 1949-1950 freshmen with the highest scholastic averages at the annual Business Admini stration banquet Tuesday, Dec. 5 in the Union ballroom.

The council member who talked loudest about television suddenly found himself with a job. He was assigned to start pricing TV sets about town. Even before the set "was pur chased, one eager-beaver dorm council member plastered Dorm C with -stickers and signs her alding the arrival of the expect ed set. The set finally arrived a few days before the Iowa State game. It turned out to be ''a cabinet model with a 16-inch screen. The question was now, where to put it? Dorm B Lounge Spot selected for the TV arena was the Dorm B lounge. Willing workers mounted the TV set on a handy table, shoved it into a corner and reached for the near est easy chair. Sofas, chairs and even tables were laid out in rough semi-circles to serve as bleachers. And now, from afternoon un til 'midnight, dorm residents in shifts -watch while Howdy Doody, beefy wrestlers and as sorted other characters flicker and flare before their eyes. Most popular spot seems to be WOWTVs channel six. And the audience loin in hissing when their favorite vcomedian is -cut off in the midilt ol a funny story, to -make way for a smiling announcer advertising Belch more's brew. Headache for Janitor As any evening at the dorm passes, watchers come and go. Hundreds of cigaret butts are flipped into an empty fireplace nearby. The welcome sandwich man brings the loungers their supper. Crumpled sacks and candy-bar wrappers pile up to await the janitor. Outside of the dorm, a pass ing boy halts and presses his face to the window. And on across the street, lonely girls wonder why their men aren't calling number 2-7371. That's television.

Second Floor High Frequency By Art Hpstien The other day 1 was discuss ing with a Iriend the songs tibout which I have been writing in the column. He asked me what it took to le a ffood song wrtttr. A good song writer Is, I told him, a man who owns a pent h o u s near Central park. who sips cham pig n e tot kta i 1 s every after noon at 4 p.m ' f ing but beau- Epstien tif ul dolls around him and who writes a sons like "'It Isnt Fair." Newcomers to the recording industry are the Four Freshmen. This little oombo -consists of lour very talented men, who not only sing beautiful four part har mony, but also, men who could be featured soloists. The men do not stop at just singing though, they also blend together a trumpet, a drum, a trombone and a French horn to get a smooth effect for background music. To get a taste of the Four Freshmen listen to their1 new release, "'I Wanna C-o Where You Go, Then IT1 Be Happy." From the motion picture, "'Three Little Words," comes a great song that is fast coming up on the Hit Parade. The song, "'Thinking of You," is a tune that is strictly of the soft, dreamy ballad type. There are a number of artists that have cut the record, but I think that the best wax is the one done by Don Cherry on the vocr.l, and backed by a chorus and orches tra under the direction of Dave Terry. Tony Martin has struck pay dirt again with his -cutting -of "Johannesburg." Ever since Tony was -discharged from the serv ice, "he has grooved hit after "hit on the black saucer. How ever, none have the punch, drive and vigor, the rhythm, beat or 'voice of his recording of "'Jo hannesburg." Stan Kenton's new sing sen sation Jay Johnson is taking the nation bv storm with his release of "'Be Easy, Be Tender." John son, who has a voice and stvle like that of the "'Great Mr. B." proves to anyone that the Ken ton band can play background music for any score that is writ ten. It is a certainty that both Kenton and Johnson, as a team, will go far in -giving the public records that everyone will en joy. Of course, the column wouldn't 'be complete without saying that the great thrush Kay Starr has done it again with her cutting of "Hey Babe." Fop. a song that has repetition used to a good end, listen to that ever lovin' Kay Starr. That's all, Paul.
