This shocked 'Crib' customer wasn't expecting this type of greeting from the usually cheerful waiters. After being insulted for 10 minutes, his waitress ex plained the purpose behind her manner.

"Look, it just so happens that the president of the senior class is a good friend of mine and I know he wouldn't order a plain coke. What do you think we should order anyway? What is this the "crib" or the debate squad? We want two cokes." "Yeh, you guys are all alike; nobody can tell you nothin'.

"Cokes! that's the trouble with you fellow-you don't have a mind of your own. You don't like coke, but just because the president of the senior class one day hap pens to order a coke, you all think you gotta have a coke. No Individuality, no initiative, no Crop Research Aids Farmers Group Reports her way through school. After arguing over the merits of a coke the fact was brought out that it was habit forming and often dangerous. "Even after know it's habit forming, you go ahead and order coke? Don't you have any re gard at all for your health, your mental state of mind or your money even?" "Look, if I want to drink coke, it's my business; but if it will make you feel any better, put some chocolate in it." Oh, it doesn't make any dif of fact, im working my way through school too. Now will you bring us three glasses of milk and get out?" They got their cokes as well as an explanation of just what was going on The last customer to go through the orgy of arguing with a stub born Witness ordered a hot fudge crib. He was given the usual ar gument about having no mind of his own and simply ordered a crib because his two friends had. For five minutes they argued about the order and he grew more exasperated. Finally, he dropped his head in his hands asid said very quietly, "All right, all right, bring me a dish of cher ry nut ice cream." Since there was no cherry nut, he was brought a dish of straw berry which he ate in complete innocence. When the bill was pre- ented, he asked, "Do you get paid for this mouthin off to the customers?" "I get paid for waiting on the customers and seeing that they get what they want. Also, we're instructed to keep this place clean, so why don't you leave? You've finished, haven't you?" At this he slammed down the spoon, took out a cigaret, very slowly lit it and leaned back. "As a matter of fact, lady, I haven t even begun to think of leaving.

Clarence cmun, Dr. Swindler Finds Job Placement for Grad Students A friendly smile and a high re gard for students and their inter ests typify Dr. William F. Swind ler, director of the University school of journalism. As head of the journalism de partment, Dr. Swindler not only teaches students the finer points of journalism during their respec tive University careers, but he is instrumental in the placement of students after their graduation. Career Began in 1933 Dr. Swindler has 'always been interested in the field of journal ism. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Dr. Swindler obtained his first "newspaper" experience in gram mar school when he was appoint ed news editor of the school's pa per. His actual newspaper career commenced in 1933 when he be came a reporter for the St. Louis Star-Times. He then became a publicity writer for the Washington uni versity news bureau from 1934 to 1935 From 1936 to 1938, Dr. Swindler was an editorial writer for the St. Louis Star-Times, and from 1938 to 1940, he was a cor respondent for the St. Louis Post Dispatch. During his newspaper career. Dr. Swindler interviewed such celebrities as Bill Tilden, Helen Hayes, Henry Wallace and civic officials from various states. When asked which category of affected. Dr. Swindler replied celebrities were usually the least that the politicians were less like ly to be "stuffed shirts," while the athletes were most likely the ones to have the blown-up egos. Bere Dr. Swindler came to tie University, he had been grad uate assistant at Washington University in 1935 and an instruc tor in journalism at the Univer sity of Missouri from 1938 to 1940. He then became an assistant pro fessor and journalism department head at the University of Idaho from 1940 to 1944. Dr. Swindler remained at the University of Idaho until 1945. He then came to the University of Nebraska to become head of the journalism dejiartment here. Active fn Journalism Honoraries Dr. Swindler's campus activi ties do not keep him from being an active member of many jour nalism honoraries. He is national president and past national secre tary of Kappa Tau Alpha, a mem ber of Sigma Delta Chi. past na tional secretary of the American Association of Teachers of Jour nalism and a member of the American Association of Univer sity Professors. During his directorship at the University, Dr. Swindler has helped institute a new senior course for selected journalism students. The course, Investiga tive Methods of Editing, shows the students through lectures and discussions with experts in vari ous fields the progress of these fields within the last fifty years. This course gives journalism stu- ls the opportunity to learn of advancements in other fields which often proves useful to them in their journalistic careers. Dr. Swindler believes that a good '.urnalist must not only have an f client knowledge of journal- m, but he must also have a well rounded education and be aware V world affairs. Gives Advice "Take all the political science you can, and then take as much I n I history as you can," is Dr. Swind ler's advice to future journalists. He also added that economics would probably be useful in the Dr. Swindler received his Ph.D. at the University of Missouri in 1942.

Dr. Crowe is a professor of It's midnight. The room is dark and all is quiet when the work-weary stu dent lmally retires; Suddenly a blood-curdling yell pierces the inky blackness. A few seconds later the light flicks on. What do we see? Well, that's anybody's guess. The enslaved student was the victim of some joker's brainstorm. While the in tellectual had been drawing logi cal conclusions to his problems, it seems as though his roommate or best friend had been exercis ing his muscles in jumping to decisions in the opposite direction. Cracker Crumbs At this rate, our unassuming friend could take on anyone of a variety of appearances and still get by. Soaking wet? Face i"blood" streaked with catsup? Rolling in cracker crumbs? Shak ing with rage over a torn sheet? You name it! However, when funsters get started, these little incidents seem tame compared to a few of their more "stupendous" creations. With this species, the motto is "Anything goes!" so long as it provides laughs. It has come to their attention, though, that a few of their schemes have back fired in more than one big ex plosion. Nevertheless, they go on about their merry way, decorating the faces of their sleeping friends with water colors and blithely sprinkling tons of soapflakes in the hallways. Scattering torn-up newspaper and rolling trash bar rels down the corridors are among their pet tricks as well. In the racket-making line, it has little freshman to set off the fire alarm at the dorm, usually dur ing semester intervals. Some female jokers have an af finity to tampering with cosmet ics. They love the scent that is sues forth when a match is ap plied to cologne or perfume, pur posely placed at the foot of some unknowing occupant's door. Then too, that "Pepsodent smile" turns to a shine (or is it grime?) when the white pasty substance is "di luted" with shampoo. Wild Scenes Food is the prankster's meat too. In this field, he finds possi bilities unlimited. Again, his im agination runs wild wth scents when limburger cheese comes to mind. He takes great delight in smearing it very artistically over radiators, light bulbs and most any other object that would gen erate enough heat to make the stuff melt. And, if he has a band of loyal followers, it is sometimes possible to divert the cook's at tention long enough to add a lit tle "color" food coloring, that is to the evening meal. Numbers are also effective when it comes to absconding with all or part of an intended dinner. Indeed, there is a long list of opportunities m this world for the practical as well as the pro fessional laugh-getter. However, until some new tricks are dreamed up, how about sticking to some of the tamer ones what say, fellows? dairv husbandry at Ac onWepe He succeeds Coach Harry Good become a tradition for some brave who has served for two terms.

According to rough estimates based on the 1940 census, profes sional men have a lower mortal ity rate than any other occupa tional group in Nebraska.

In these statistics, however, the farmer mortality rate is too low and that of the businessmen too high, Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer, chair man of the department of busi ness research said. He explained that the farm population has de creased , since the 1940 census, making it too large a base for the 1949 death statistics used. The rate among those in business for themselves is probably higher be cause of their relatively high average age, he explained.
