YVHAItJIIA WANT, JERK? 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. "Anything for a Rag

research has brought increased
returns per acre.
And the cost of that research
has been about 1 million dollars
in the past 50 years.
These points were stressed by
J. C "Chet" Swinbank, secre
tary of the Nebraska Grain Im
provement association, as he
gave his annual report during
the annual meeting of his organ
ization here last week.
He said the association has
continued to work with the
University Ag college in expand
ing the use of approved varieties
of crops and other results of
research among farmers.
The association conducted 12
regional wheat improvement
plots during 1950. Samples of
wheat from 982 farms were
grown, studies and classified.
Seventeen counties were repre
sented. The association conducted field
meetings at 13 wheat, oat or
barley demonstration plots thru
out the state. The association
also: helped western Nebraska
farmers to establish the Nebraska
Wheat Foundation, a self-help
organization to promote the use
of wheat.
Co-operated with the Union
Pacific in the improvement car
program, promoting good seed
and reduction of losses in stored

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 beeun to think of leaving.

Avoided Being Different.
The waitress left. While wait
ine for another customer to
wheedle, two more brothers
walked in and joined her friend
with the strawberry ice cream.
While she waited to let them
complain about the slow service,
there was a long conference.
Then when she went to get the
order, before she could even get
out her Dencil. the enlightened
customers both shouted, " a green
river with marshmallow top

avoiding the 'be dinerenr argu-
ment,
What thev should have avoid

State Mortality
Rates Released
A possible connection between
the amount of money a Nebraska
man earns and his likelihood of
dying is a given year is seen in
tentative figures released Thurs
day by the University department
of business research.
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. They
die each year at a rate of 12.9
per thousand. The state average
for all males 16 years and older
is 17 per thousand.
Laborers have the highest
death rate (21.5 per thousand),
followed by farmers, 17.1; trade
workers, 16.6; businessmen, 15.7;
and clerks, 13.3.
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.

Dr. Swindler Finds Job
Placement for Grad Students
A friendly smile and a high re
gard for students and their inter
ests typity 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.
Be ire 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
department here.
Active in 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
t:amal secretary of the American
Association of Teachers of Jour
nalism and a member of the
American Association of Univer
YM Management
Board Elected
The University branch of the
YMCA recently elected Dr. L. K.
Crowe president of the manage
ment board.
Dr. Crowe is a professor of
dairy husbandry at Ag college.
He succeeds Coach Harry Good
who has served for two terms.
Other new officers include:
Charles McLean, vice-president,
an Ag college junior, who was
preceded by Virgil Ganzel; Dave
Cargo, secretary, and president of
the city campus YMCA and M.
G. McCreight, instructor of Ag
engineering, re-elected treasurer.

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
f mm,'j 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
Virnalist must not only have an
f "ellent knowledge of journal-

rounded education and be aware

Work-Weary Student
It's midnight.
The room is dark and all is
quiet when the work-weary stu

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

decisions in the opposite direc
tion. Cracker Crumbs
At this rate, our unassuming
friend could take on anyone of a
variety of appearances and still
get by. Soaking wet? Face

Rolling in cracker crumbs? Shak

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 m
the hallways. Scattering torn-up
newspaper and rolling trash bar

among their pet tricks as well.

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 in 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?
