According to the calendar,
spring is coming soon. For every
one but the pessimists, this is
very good news.
The birdies will be chirping, the
grass will grow, the world will
be sunny wd the mud will be
two feet do. The TGIF Jub will
reactivate and afternoon classes
will once again become non-existent.
Yes, spring is a wonderful sea
son, but it has its bad points. For
instance, final exams. That really
kills your ardor, doesn't it? There
are also the "light showers"
(meaning take your waterwings;
you may have to swim home),
parting when school is over and
of course spring house cleaning.
Spring House Cleaning
Spring house cleaning isn't too
bad, though especially if you're
telling someone else how to do it.
To really simplify the job, though,
everyone should first have a plan
.and then follow it.
Take a closet, for instance. You
know it's going to be a real hard
job, so allow enough time to do
. the job thoroughly and efficiently.
You now have the plan and the
motto so step gingerly up to the
door, open it and jump back.
After you've dug yourself out
of the mess (the instructions were
to jump back quickly) don't give
up. Roll up your sleeves and
really go to work.
Polish Your Shoes
First of all, get rid of all those
shoes on the floor. If they're dirty,
polish them and get rid of those
you don't really need. No polish,
huh? Well, maybe your old buddy
in the next room has some. Of
course if you go in now, you'll
join the bridge game and never
get back. Just for now, push the
shoes in the back of the closet
and take care of them later. Wait
a minute, your tennis racket and
bowling shoes are back there.
Well, you'll be needing these real
soon, so why not just leave them
there.
Nothing Changes
Whatta you know? Everything
Is right back where it was. That's
all right, there's plenty of time
on the schedule to take care of
that later; right now, let's get to
the shelves and racks. First of
4CFIflS
all, those boxes will have to go,
No, that's a hat box, shoe box,
shoe shine kit, marbles bag,
empty coKe Dotnes box. miscel
laneous box, box of boxes that
might be needed someday, box of
sacks and the box your first cor
sage came in. No, you can't throw
any ot those away.
Winter Clothes Problem
That leaves the racks. Get rid
of all those winter clothes.
Hmmm, not much left is there?
Well, now look at all the extra
room you have. Your whole
closet is cleaned and there's still
time left.
Doing a good constructive job
like the one just described really
has a scintillating effect on most
people. To celebrate the job well
done, you can go out and ride
around all afternoon. Of course
you'll have to cut your two
o'clock to do it. . . .
Joy of Spring New Clothes
Another of the joys of spring
is buying loads of new clothes.
There is one impediment to this
delight though, nameljs a lack of
that green stuff the government
prints.
Don't let this stop you though,
because according to the ads, "the
budget-wise coed can afford all
the clothes she needs." This is
what is known as misleading
propaganda unless of course a
gunny sack and a bunch of those
smart new flowers are all she
needs.
So it's spring and you're broke
and your room is dirty. Who
cares? Its been said that the
world will go on in spite of this,
that and the other thing. After

"I like clothes! I like clothes!"
Amidst the hubbub and tur
moil of the district attorney's of
fice, Connie Schaff, NYU basket
ball player, blurted out those
words. And, in a nutshell, it was
a love of finery and clothes that
was directly responsible for the
demise of Schaff as well as the
other ballplayers accused of fix
ing games.
Schaff is a product of the Wil
liamsburgh section of Brooklyn.
The family ran a bakery in a
squalid, teeming section of New
and received grades adequate
enough to stay out of trouble.
Improved at Start of Season
At the beginning of the season,
Schaff seemingly showed more
determination and drive to make
good than he had ever evidenced
before. He introduced a new foul
shot, practiced up on his set, pol
ished his defense and figured to
be an important member of the
varsity this year.
Schaff actually couldn't com

As a freshman in 1949, Schaff
was a cocky kid whose love of

He led a rather turbulent under

Marriage, courtship and reli

of discussions sponsored by the
Ag Union beginning Wednesday,
March 14, and continuing for
three weeks.

and all its ramifications will
probably be the discussion topic
after the marriage series are
completed. Other current issues
are scheduled also.
Dr. C. Vin White will conduct
discussions on Religion in Mar

Union Rec room.
All students interested in the
discussion topics are urged to
attend and to add to the discus
sion. It is hoped, by so doing,
many differing points of view
will be brought to light.
White is minister of First

He has spent several years work

to them of their current prob

sponsorship of the joint Ag Un

badly needed.
Plans Under Way
For Starlight Ball
Training in agriculture opens
the opportunities in a large seg
ment of our country's business,
he says.
"The first job is the produc
tion of raw materials on the
farm," says Hixson. He divides
farms into two types of produc
tion units, general and special
ized. Specialized types include
bee, dairy, and poultry farms.
Specialists in crop production
may grow pasture, grain, vegeta
bles, or fruit. On a general farm
livestock is combined with crop
production.
Opportunities are wide open
in the field of marketing, Hixson
states. Cleaning, grading, pack
ing, transportation and storage
fall into this field. Processing
raw materials into usable prod
ucts and selling to consumers are
also included, he says. Training
in financing and insurance is
needed in this field, Hixson
explains.
"Probably the greatest need
today is to teach people to read,
to discuss and to think on the
problems of living." he main
tains. "There are too few good
teachers." "Teachers are the
conveyors of truth from research
to use." "The financial rewards
in this field are comparatively
small, yet teaching offers the
richest rewards in public service
and personal satisfaction."
The second great need is in
research, Hixson states. "The
need for more knowledge on food
alone could keep our research
staffs busy from now on." How
can we make less food do a
bigger job in nutrition? How
can we protect our crops against
pests and disease? How can we
be sure that all people will have
enough food of the right kind?
How can we save our soil? Ac
cording to Hixson, these are the
problems which research can
answer.
Unlimited problems, he says.
mean unlimited opportunities.
a little cheerful, something work
ing for the good of the coed.
It wouldn't have to be very much,
just something taken for granted
that helps instead of hinders.
At the risk of sounding a little
silly, I can't think of this thing
that all freshmen and many up
per-class girls take for granted.
In fact, they are more likely to
gripe about than praise it.
That's right, something as ob
vious as the dorm. The dorm is
fitted to the needs of each indi
vidual girl as much as is possible
for anything that size.
Girls Aren't Appreciative
On each floor are two kitchen
ettes. These have dishes, cups
and saucers and silverware, as
well as skillets and pans for
cooking. At least theoretically,
there are pots and pans.
In actual practice they are not
too much in evidence. (This is
intended as a gentle hint to the
powers that be, and may be ig
nored by others.) In addition to
the facilities for cooking, the
stove, sink, table and chairs, etc.,

date and bother the poor girl on
proctor duty. Small meetings of
various types are held there also.
Silence In Morgue
Another grand invention pe
culiar to the dorm is the
"morgue." This is located in the
nether (which is a perfectly good
word meaning "under") regions
of Love Hall. It contains six long
library-type tables and chairs.
There are reference books of sev
eral types for use in the morgue
only.
Complete silence is maintained
at all times which is so remark
able that it scares some girls
away. Which is just fine for those
serious studiers who use the
"morgue."
In a lighter mood, coeds may
use the recreation rooms in the
basements or the parlors on first
floors. The rec rooms are equip
ped with ping pong tables and
radios, and may be used during
visiting hours by coeds enter
taining their dates. They are also
used for all-girl gatherings and
minor celebrations, such as birth
day parties.
Buzzers: Good Deal
But perhaps the main thing
girls leaving the dorm for other
houses or home will miss are the
buzzers. The fellows don't have
to yell up to third floor for the
girls at the dorm, they just speak
to the boy at the desk.

sees who it is, or at least the

These are just some of the

War Research
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson of
the University told 400 people at -
O'Neil. Neb., Monday of the great f
importance of basic research in ?
Universities during a time of if
world tension.
Speaking before the annual
meeting of the Holt County Ex ten-
gion Service and the Holt County
Soil Conservation District, Dr. J
Gustavson made a plea for great- -er
consideration for basic re-
search. He said huge dividends
paid on applied research are
based upon earlier work done in
laboratories by investigators and
scientists.
"Contrary to public opinions,
wars do not bring about signifi- g
cant basic research principles,' he '
said. "They only speed up the f.
practical application of basic re- i
search. Good examples are the ?
'tomie bomb and the newer
drugs."
