Odd Requests, Love Notes
All in All-American's Life
By AMY PALMER
It didn't take long for Bobby
Reynolds to discover that being
an Ail-American involves much
more than being a superior foot
ball player. He has been asked
for donations to numerous
causes, banquets, and personal
appearances ranging from every
thing from a radio broadcast to
marble contest.
Another big item taking up
time is fan mail. Most writers
only want an autograph or just
offer congratulations, but there
are always a few eccentric re
quests that give the reader a
laugh. Bobby has definitely had
his share of these.
The address itself is enough to
give any mailman a headache.
Most of the letters have only
Lincoln on the envelope, but a
few of the fans were more en
thusiastic and added such praise
as, Unusual. Halfback, The One
Why Not Try
Men's Names
In Song Titles?
If you have bothered to listen
to some of the recent song hits
of the past few years, you will
note that most of the titles con
tain names of girls.
For example: "Goodnight,
Irene", "Mary", "Linda", "I
Wonder What's Become of Sal
ly", and many, many more.
Someone is going to have to
put a stop to this: the men on
campus are revolting (of course,
many coed9 have always said
they were). Why don't composers
write songs with men's names in
the titles?
Such songs with titles like, "I
Wonder What's Became of Os
car", "Sweet Herman Schultz",
"Albert Blue Gown", and "Good
night George" would certainly be
hits on any hit parade.
Why can't people say good
night to George as well as to
Irene, or why can't Herman
Schultz be as sweet as Georgia
Brown?
We see that there is no really
logical answer to this perplexing
question, so in the public inter
est, we have organized the "Be
Kind to Dumb Men's Names in
Song Titles" club.
In order to become a member
of this "exclusive" organization,
you need only submit the fol
lowing items: the shirt off your
back, $1,000 (our treasury is still
rather low), and, of course, your
L D. card.
Send all applications to: The
BKTDMN1ST Club, Box IDIOT,
Niceclean, Wash. (we're in
Washington, because we still
need the approval of congress.)
Remember, we need you, you,
and even you (note: this phrase
may ring a bell to all those who
art 1A). So, join now, while you
have the chance, and before we
get kicked out of the country for
un-American activities.
Laase to Head
FEP Committee
Dr. Leroy Laase, chairman of
the speech department was re
cently elected chairman of the
newly formed Nebraska Citizens
Committee for Fair Employment
Practices.
Purpose of the committee is to
try to get the legislature to pass
a state fair employment prac
tices act during this session.
The committee's unanimously
passed resolution stated, "The
present state of emergency re
quires that there be a complete
use of our national manpower,
and the principles of American
government require that all per
.ons have an equal opportunity
to work regardless of race, color
or creed.'
The meeting was called by
delegates from the Urban
League, the Americans for De
mocratic Action, and the Anti
Defamation League.
Heart Association
Chooses Leuth
The Nebraska Heart associa
tion has selected as its presi
dent Dr. Harold C. Leuth, dean
of the University College of
Medicine.
Pr. T. W. Heihaus, Omaha, is
vice president.
According to organization
heads the problem of heart dis
ease can be considered only
through research. Vital statistics
show one-third of the persons
who died in Nebraska during
1949 were victims of heart dis
ease or circulatory ailments.
And Only, The Rambler, Mr.
Football and The Football Star.
There was one from "an ar
dent fan" who addressed the let
ter to Bobby Collier. The Post
Office Department suggested
Reynolds. Another sent his mes
sage in charge of the cave of
Nebraska U. Athletics. Another
anonymous fan sent his letter to
Bob Reynolds, Nebraska.
Wish Luck
There were letters from every
state in the Big Seven wishing
Bob luck in beating other teams
in the conference. Probably the
most complimentary were the
several letters from Oklahoma
fans who praised him for good
sportsmanship, in the game at
Norman.
Among the requests for auto
graphs was one from a fan who
collected "autographs of famous
people such as Gary Crosby."
Other requests included a col
ored picture in uniform and a
shirt for 'an auction of famous
people's belongings.
One young fan expressed a de
sire to keep up "a conversation
with you" and another girl want
ed to know about life at the U.
She is "a trifle fat and afraid I
won't make new friends," but
with Bobby's advice and friend
ship, she knew she would get
along.
One of the most interesting
letters was a perfumed one writ
ten on pink stationery. It con
tained a picture of the writer
which is, to say the least, "sexy."
The young lady included her tel
ephone number and a suggestion
that Bob look her up if he ever
got to Baltimore.

cost of handling.

time to read them all and an

French Film.
'Farrebique
Anyone who has lived on a
farm, knows someone on a farm,
or plans to live on a farm will
be interested in the French movie
to be shown Friday and Satur
day, Jan. 12 and 13.
Georges Rouquier's film, "Far
rebique," will be presented at 8
p.m., both evenings in the Love
Library auditorium.
The University YMCA, which
is sponsoring the show, has an
nounced that the admission price
will be 65 cents, tax include.
"Farrebique," after its recent
premier in New York, received
wide acclaim from New York
newspapers.
Tom Pryor of the New York
Times reported that the film "will
live long in the memory of those
fortunate enough to come under
its spell."
Another New York Times re
viewer stated that the movie "is
unquestionably in the tradition
of the great pre-war films from
France."
The New Republic reviewed
the picture as "the most under
standing and simple and convinc
ing study of a little segment of
society you are likely to see."
The film deals with the plant,
animal and human life which
thrives on a fruitful farm in
France, and how the lives are
affected by the changing seasons.
It features the natural, modest
farm family and the romance be
tween the youngest son and the
daughter of a neighboring farmer.

Radio Aerial
'Mysterf
The mystery is solved. The se
cret is out. We finally know
what "it" is!
By "it," we mean the (you
should pardon the expression)
"thing" on the top of Burnett.
But, before we spring this sen
sational surprise on you, we want
to get some views from the cam
pus as to their ideas of what
this structure might be.
One brain-stormer stated that
he was sure that it was a tight
rope for all those circus perform
ers who might come to Lincoln.
Another junior Einsteih
thought that it might be used as
a clothes line for those who re
side on campus and can never
seem to find enough room to
hang their clothes after washing
them.
We'll admit that this obtrusive
object might be used for the pre
mentioned purposes, but its main
purpose is merely to be a radio
aerial for the Germanic depart
ment in Burnett.
The German department was
originally in Andrews hall (with
their aerial, of course), but when
Burnett was built, the German
department moved lock, stock,
barrel, and aerial over to Burnett.

Colleges Look
For Draft Blow
This Month
Nebraska's three universities,
which already have lost some
men to the armed forces, are
preparing for a bigger blow at
the month's end.
With, the close of the first se
mester at the end of January, the
universities expect increased stu
dent losses. So far, the impact of
the Korean war has been light.
Dr. George W. Rosenlof, direc
tor of admissions at the Univer
sity, has estimated that the
school's enrollment will be 10
percent lower next semester as
compared to last. Sixty with
drawals from the University have
been recorded to date.
Last semester's combined en
rollment on the Lincoln and
Omaha campuses was 8,033.
Sixty students also have left
the University of Omaha. Most
of them left during December to
trade 8 o'clocks for reveille.

students on campus, a tightly
organized group when they
want to be, have been flexing
their political muscles. In the
fall elections, 1950, the engi

stir somewhat to get out the
vote. It was a very close race

for a prime class office won by
less than ten votes.

Today the faction is the same
as always, keeping a close hold
on elective positions such as

And that is the political situ

be anticipated in the years
ahead? .
Probably a post-draft drouth
