Our Green ('Alt H gmttt dltorial written by Arriealtaral Callm a W. V. Laatbert at the recant at The Dmily MebrrakM I want to commend Agricultural college stu dents on the interest they are showing in the campaign to "keep off the grass." Keeping off the grass is a heritage on this campus. In the early days, walking on the grass was sure to in vite disciplinary measures from one's fellow stu dents. At the beginning of each year, freshmen learned about walking on the sidewalks instead of the grass because there was talk on occasional use of paddles on violators. New students soon saw the point and it was no longer a question of having to use the walks but of wanting to. . A college campus is the show window through which visitors and towns people observe the stu dents and others who work there. It can give both good and bad impressions. A campus that has fine grass and landscaping and no litter of papers about is a joy for everyone to behold. It indicates that students have pride in themselves as well as in their surroundings. On the other hand, if there are unsightly paths marking the shortest distance from classes to bus lines and Friend or Foe? ... Screech! Squack! Crash! Bam! Please let's not go further. This is not a warning to beware of the school of music, to be sure. There's no denying, how ever, that the sound effects above bear a direct resemblance to it. Think of the next most eligible prospect and you have it. That's right the continuous con glomeration of canned noises that comes from the Crib. With the machines "fixed" so as to provide free entertainment, the incessant roar, having gained unprecedented freedom, runs wild. In the time it takes to walk down one aisle of booths, it is possible to come out with something like this: "Until-she had a dark and roving eye the week's news in review-sometime-could be-in the moon mist." How confused can one person become? Then too, it is always the favorite sport of the joker across the aisle to try his skill at out classing the other booths when it comes to the "my machine-can-make-more-racket-than-yours-can" contest. Indeed, it gets a little nerve-wracking at times. With every loyal cribster competing against his brother each confined to the solitude of his own little cubby-hole they force the Crib to take on an icy atmosphere that did not prevail before Up at 6:45 a.m. No class until 11, but you ware a fool to post an office hours schedule.

A representative council has been organized to inform all women students of the activities and special events of the YW dur ing the year. The council is made up of representatives appointed from all organized houses, dorm itories, independent organizations end a representative of Lincoln girls. Contact As a nucleus of YW the coun cil keeps constant contact with both members of YWCA and xi o n-members. Representatives take information of meetings and activities back to the meetings of their organizations. In this way students are able to become familiar with the programs ot tered by the organization. Publicity of the organization's activities was previously handled by a committee. The representa tive council to contact women students personally marks a new development in the history of YWCA on the University cam pus. A newsletter, containing in formation about the work of commission groups and the or ganization as a whole, will be published periodically by the council. Plans are being made to con tact students individually who are JIul (Daih Vkbha&lwui Mtabw Intercollegiate Press rORTt HKUiHT tKAB imut MftnMi putolMtow W attmaate at tbm ubivwmi vt -u marman of tuOuKJ arm M oplnknw aol. fceoordlnj to feftlcM U Z ,m urn Ijh mim (iudwi' aubllcattooa mi admlnururi y Uw Meart wuMifw'taaa.

To publicize special events on the YW calendar, posters made by the council will be displayed in buildings and organized houses on the campus. Kecent Work The most recent work of the representative council has been aiding in the development of plans for all-membership gather ings of the YW. The first all membership meeting, which iff open to all students interested, is planned to be held March 7. The work of commission groups within YWCA is co-ordinated through the representative coun cil. Each representative is a member of a particular commis sion group. In the council meet ing the work of the various com missions is brought together, en abling all commission groups to know of the activities of the oth ers. Activities of the council are two fold. With the establish ment of the representative coun cil, the YW is able to keep in constant contact with all women students and is able to unify the work of commission groups within the organization.

I see the appearance of the campus improved and at the same time I would like to see that old 'esprit de corps' revived. With it would come not only an interest in the visible campus but in that general morale which is so necessary to a dynamic student body. We could provide police on the campus to take the names of violators. The faculty might help by admonishing students. But I think that if we all take a personal interest in this project, it won't be long until the matter will be under con trol and all of the credit will be due the students. You can be assured that administrative officials are solidly behind the efforts to keep our campus beautiful. these individual "select-your-own" contraptions were installed. Indeed, there's been many a student who has commented, "I wish they had that old jukebox back in the Crib. The place just doesn't seem like home without it." That isn't the whole story. Maybe the old juke box did stick once in awhile. Maybe it was tem peramental at times. Just the same, it was in strumental in creating a more friendly attitude among Crib patrons. As it stands now, the cry is, "Every man for himself!" Maybe the latter way is the one that would draw the popular vote. Fine all well and good. But, if the "I can get something for nothing" idea continues to dominate student thinking, the pres ent record machine system should be ousted. If the jukebox was re-installed, the corruption now existing in the present set-up would be abol ished. Students could again take on an air of honesty instead of living in the shadow of their guilt complexes. The Union would not lose money as it is now. They would not be expending funds needlessly to repair the present devices. "Break tradition!" they always say. This re version would not be violating their slogan. It would merely be a move in favor of better inter ests for everybody .-j.r. of volunteer baby-sitters after you told that story about Junior knowing the safe's combination?

Grants Offered For Hawaii U. Students presently enrolled in the agricultural program or hav ing a background in some phase of plant science may now apply for a grants-in-aid in the trop ical crop production curriculum at the University of Hawaii. . This announcement came from Dr. E. Hixson. Ass't. Dean of Ag college. The hawaiian sugar planters' association is again offering selec ted young men appointments ef fective at the start of the 1951 52 college year. Applicants must be either soph omores or juniors at this time, to allow at least one year of work under the $750 per annum grant. This is a rate of $75 per month from Sept. to June inclusive. Pro vided the appointee does satisfac tory work at the University, the grant-in-aid wil lbe continued through the senior year. A traveling allowance of $150 will be paid. Appointees are not under obligation to enter the sugar industry here, however, prior to graduation, appointees may apply for appointment to the graduate training program in sugar cane agriculture. No stipulation to draft elig ibility was made in the request for candidates. Interested students are instruc ted to notify Dr. Hixeon's office Ag hall, immediately. DAILY NEBRASKA jottrip jl Lawn Detours Spring, with its green grass, song birds, and flowers is just around the corner. With the coming of spring, Ag campus be comes one of the beauty spots of Northeast Lincoln. Much of this beauty is due to the rich, green carpet of grass that grows so abundantly under the expert care of the college employes. Again this year there is dan ger that the lawns will not be all that they might be, as judged by their winter appearance. The habit of "cutting across" instead of "going around" will show re sults. There is a fine network of sidewalks and there seems lit tle reason for habitual "cutting across." When the ground begins to thaw, the damage of "cutting across" will be even more se vere than during the winter. It takes only a brief while longed to go around. The thoughtless ness of those "cutting across" can be overcome with little ef fort. Let's co-operate to keep our campus beautiful. CORNHUSKER COUNTRYMAN Leave Us Alone To the Editor: The rancor occasioned by lack of indpendent student participa tion in campus politics seems un fitting and petty. It is neither a proper issue for blazing editorial crusades or cause for foot-stomping anxiety by enlightened Greeks and frustrated Barbs. The claims of persecution that come peeping from the independents seen, in the main, to be sourced from squares who pine to be wheels. That the Greeks should dignify any such laments by rebuttal show them to have the righteous indignation that could come only from people with qualms about their own sit situation, and the feeling of ag- gresive superiority that doesn't come from individual confidence, but a follow-the-fraternity-broth-er disposition. It seems singular that no one can realize that independents are neither sluggish or filled with the decay that some people must characterize an individual who is not bright-eyed and totally im mersed in the politics of a dance committee. Any student who as pires to wallow in that type of importance and attention can par ticipate in multiple kinds of stu dents groups; but it is narrow to hold the independents, as a unit, responsible for performing the labor necessary to create the questionable distinction of having "spokesmen" and "leaders" with equal or more voice than the Greek champions. Independents are not a family group with feel ings of a united spirit The ISA is not the title name of any stu dent not a Greek, it is not claimed or desired by most independents. Leave us alone. FRANK ROUBICEK. Sfaucks Lacking Humor To the Editor: Frankly, upon reading Corn shucks little gem, "The Daily Ashcan," I was amazed. I ex pected to find humor but humor I found not I will say this, however. Upon reading The Daily Nebraskan's review of Cornshuck's attempt at satire, I found somethmg ac tually humorous. In addition, I am finding Connie Gordon's col umn, "Stolen Goods," very worthwhile and rewarding read ing. Keep up the good work. A READER Union Revises Chess Club The Union chess club is re- organzed under the direction of the Student Union Recreation committee. Bill Munson is the temporary chairman. Says Munson, "We have had many calls from other, schools to furnish players in in tercollegiate competition, and in answer to the interest, we are re organizing." The recreation committee re cently purchased six new chess sets which can be checked out without any charge at any time. The sets are now in the Union checkstand and may be used at any time for play in the game room. Those who are interested in joining the chess club are asked to sign on sheets posted In the Student Union Activities Office, at the checkstand in the Union, and on the bulletin board outside the Game Room. The club will be organized on a voluntary basis as before. There will again be no dues. At an early meeting, officers will be elected to carry on the business of planning and arrang ing chess meets wit h other schools, tl is the hope of the com mittee that Nebraska can renter Big Seven chess competition. Sixth 'Home Week' To Begin April 29 The sixth National Home Demonstration Week will be ob served from April 29 to May 5. Miss Florence Atwood, state home extension leader at the University, said home extension club members are being encour aged to write to a pen pal in a foreign country during the week. The letters will tell the foreign womea of the freedoms which women enjoy in the United States. Miss Atwood asks the women to tell their foreign friends of the privileges here of deciding where and how their children go to school, how they participate In church, rural youth and 4-H clubs. Mrs. Vern Supeser, president of the Nebraska Home Extension Council, said the theme of the week will be "Today's Home Builds Tomorrow's W o r 1 4 ' Women will tell the public of the activities of home extension clubs in building better homes and communities. Some of the week's activities' will highlight the importance of the home maker in the mobilization. Week's Indictments Returned Eighty-four manslaughter In dictments one for each of the lives lost in the New Jersey com muter train wreck Feb. 6, were returned this week against the Pennsylvania railroad. The maximum penalty against the railroad if it was convicted on each of the 84 counts would be a fine of $84,000. The indictments charged the Pennsylvania railroad of "felon iously killing and slaying" the 84 victims in the nation's worst railroad wreck since 1918. State authorities said a very remote possibility is the state attorney general's right to take the railroad into another court and ask that its franchise in the state of New Jersey be revoked. Officials of the Pennsylvania will plead to the indictments March second. MacArhtur In Korea General MacArthur visited the central Korean front, Tuesday, and ordered "the resumption of the initiative" by his troops. He also stated that he would not arbitrarily execute authority to recross the 38th parallel. On his last visit, MacArthur declared that talk of a drive north of the 38 parallel the old dividing line between communist-occupied Candid Reporter . . . Imaginary Book Search Brings Humor and Advise Tiv Anv Palmer Home Ec 191 is the big topic on campus at the moment. For those innocent souls that don't don't know what it is, you'll have to wait till next year to find out. Right now there are six sec tions filled with students eager to find out about marriage rela tions. Your eager reporter wanted to find out just how much the book stores knew about the course, so the same question was asked at the three places. The following is a condensation. Naive Look With a naive look and bubble gum the reporter walked into the first place of business. The young clerk asked her what she wanted and she told him about the nieht lab she had to take in the mar riage relations course and that ch wanted the manual for it. The clerk took one disbelieving look and then snickered. Me sam he was busy, but would get Romeon else to helD her. An other clerk was called in to an swer questions while the first helner stood back and bit his lip to keep from laughing. "Now just what was it you wanted?" asked the second clerk. "Well, I'm in this Home Ec course I think it's 81 or 191 and we have to get a manual for our lab. It's tonight." "Well. I don't think we have the manuals yet. What section are you in?" Same manual I don't know for sure. I just transferred tsnd I was late to class and didn't get his name. I think we all have the same man ual though, because all those boys in the other class kept talk ing about a lab?" "You sav this is a marriage re lations class? Did they mention to you what they thought the lab lesson was?" "No, but this one that told me to get the manual said he'd pick me up about 8." "Well, look, honey, why don't you talk to your instructor first, and for heaven's sake find out his name. And then you come back and get your manual." Then with a motherly pat on the back she led the 'sweet young thing" to the door. At the next place, much the same thing happened after the confused clerk had called the manager. At last, they had a pri vate conversation in the corner and then called the young re porter over. "Look, about this lab manual of yours," the manager started, "I think someone has been pull ing your leg." He then advised her to forget the whole thing. "But I just have to have it for tonight This fellow that sits be side me said I did." Marrisfe The exasperated manager tried once more. "Look, what do you think you'd do in a lab about marriage. Take the first chapter for instance-whafs it about?" "Well, the name of it is some thing about courtship. Oh. you don't suppose . . .but how could we? I mean boys and girls in there together .that is . ." She then turned to gather up her numerous books and as she turned to leave the manager Applications Open For Engineers The Civil Service Commission in Washington is now accepting applications for engineers xo worx , for the federal government in Washington, VC These jobs pay from $4,600 to $6,400 a year.

N. forces rolled for ward seven files in central Ko rea's mountains and held the gain by beating off weak communist counterattacks. Tuesday, U. N. troops erased a 10 mile dent in their east central front. On the west coast front, patrols pushed five miles north east of Chipyong. On the west ern front, U. N. troops brought their lines up tight against the Han River in a continous line. Red armies retreated north all along the central Korean front Wednesday, but on the western front, reds gave notice that they were prepared to defend the Han River. Thursday, a "killer offensive," staged by U. N. forces, ripped up to 12 miles deep into communist territory along a 60-mile front in central Korea. A American division smashed north of Chip yong in a northwesternly advance aimed at striking behind the reds holding Hoengsong. Yanks chased communists eight miles in east-central Korea, Fri day, before cornering them in a narrow mountain pass. To the west .another American division smashed four miles forward and occupied hills overlooking Hoeng- turned to the clerk and whis pered, "That poor girl; her folks must really have a mint to send her to college." So it went in all the stores. Most of the clerks were polite and some determined at first to sell a book, any old book. But when it finally occurred that it was a joke, they all got a toler ant 'oh-you-poor-sucker look on their faces and tried to quietly rid themselves of the supposedly sweet but dumb customer. English Instructors Relate Their Funniest By Bernie Nelson One of the funniest incidents that hannened to Marion Carson. instructor of English, concerned a student who missed class rather frequently. Tt Kcpms that this student when he did come to class, would sit in the most conspicuous places in the classroom. He would then croceed to make nasty remarks about the lessons. Conscientious Student? When the class got down to work on the grammar books, Blackstone started skipping all classes. The next time Miss Car son saw him was in a drug store. When he saw her. he said, loud- enough for everyone in the drug store to hear. "There's my Eng lish teacher." This embarrassed Mice Canton ereat deaL She never saw him after that until the day before the final exam when he came in to talk to her. His first remark was: "Well, have I missed anything?" It turned out that he had missed lessons 1-36. He then asked if he could make them up. When told that he could not unless he could present a valid excuse for missing class, Blackstone said that a horse had knicked him. Then he prove it he took off his shirt and showed her the bandages. He did get the 30 lessons done in time to take the test the next riav. but it didn't do much good. He flunked it anyway. 1 Estes Carnival Events Announced A nreliminarv schedule of events to be featured at the an nual Estes Carnival was an nounced Thursday by Eleanor Erickson, carnival co-chairman.

Cutbacks Announced Tuesday, the government an nounced a cutback on steel and Wednesday a ceiling price, effec tive March second, will be put on all used cars. Beginning April first, steel for passenger automobiles and other goods will be slashed 20 per cent below the average level of the first half of 1950. Further cuts mav be expected. The halt on used car prices iimpH to halt a "wide spread" flow of new cars into the used car market and to prevent used cars from selling above new car prices. No Illegal Influence While congressmen were sun outraged at Mr. Truman's secure ment of RFC letters, the Presi dent announced that he had found no evidence of illegal influence. Between seven and nine hun dred of these letters, written by congressmen to the RFC, were investigated. However, because of no knowledge of illegal influence, the President will not make pub lic congressional correspondence. Incidents sint assistant nrofes- sor of English, told a coupla stories that teachers tell one an other about their students. Classrooms Switched One is about a student who had a little mixup at the start of a umcctsr The "student had the right classroom, but the English department kept switching classes around. This student kept going to class in the same room. Before he finally got around to asking his instructor about which class he was in, be had notes on Shakespeare, English lit and grammar," also the textbooks to do with each of these. Another story was about a foot ball player who had developed a habit of coming to class late. The player was pretty well-known around the campus. The teacher cured him of his tardiness by asking him his name every time he came into the classroom. Business Letter Albert Rosenberg told of a stu dent who complained about a erade he had received on a let ter in a business English course. He basea his argument on ine lact that his father had read and liked the letter. Rosenburg didn't think t his much of an argument until he Raw the letterhead on the letter. Tt cumi that the father was the head of one of the largest de partment stores in lowa ana tnus would probably be a better judge than himself. i. ; "J 1 1 1 I , V-2 , T7rt iff . 5 . wnnnmnwiini NOW SHOWING ft 1 in gnu if 11 pi 4 Y-i (ADDED TMIf IS AMFKICA "Lone Star Roundup" Bv.
