Frosty, Frigid, Freezing-All Describe
University Sub-Zero Wonderland
BY CONNIE GORDON
Feature Editor
Even though the song "Winter
Wonderland" is again coming into
its perennial popularity, its words
hardly express the thoughts of the
student body concerning the chill
winter winds and the icy streets
that are transforming the campus
into anything but a wonderland.
Students are falling down on the
ice. cars are getting stuck in the
snow, and students are bracing
themselves against the chilling
winter winds. This winter, as
usual, can hardly be called a
wonderland.
However, students have ac
cepted the challenge brought
about by this frigid season and
devised some methods to keep
from freezing. Some of the
methods are, to say the least,
unique.
Darlene Fiscus, senior in the
college of Arts and Sciences, ex
presses the method she used to
keep warm during winter. She
said that she simply stays indoors.
This methods, according to many
other students, is successful al
most 100 percent of the time.
One exception to the success of
this method however, began when
the furnace broke down in one of
the organized houses on campus
during the midst of one of the re
cent snow storms. However, the
girls found staying in the cold
house the lesser of two evils the
other being going out in the sub
zero weather.
One girl who wished to re
main anonymous said that dur
ing her first year at the Uni
versity, she sometimes carried
hot water bottle around with
her whenever she had to be out
for a few minutes. The reason
she stopped, she said, was that
one time the hot water bottle
slipped out from under her
belt and fell to the snow. But
she added philosophically, "It
didn't keep me warm, anyway!"
Many students recommended
drinking hot drinks, such as coffee
or other stimulants before going
out into the cold. Even though the
effects of the hot liquids don't
last too long, the students com
mented they're helpful while they
last.
Many students, believed, and
rightly so, that all hot liquids
would not do any good if the per
son himself didn't "bundle up
good" before going outside.
Though they help keep the feet
warm, . overshoes and stadium
boots are by student majority
vote the most unpopular wearing
apparrel for winter. The reasons
given included the fact that the
shoes were excessively bulky and
that if students were not used to
walking in them they' proved
very cumbersome.
Some students complained
that they had a difficult time
keeping warm even while they
were in fairly warm places.
Some unusual methods were
given by various students on
their methods of keeping warm.
One of the printable methods
included wearing some of one's
outdoor parhernalia indoors.
Sitting atop or near radiators or
hot air registers proved to be a
very popular method of keeping
warm.
The biggest complaint made
against winter by the students was

THE QUESTION
"How did you find out that there was no Santa Claus?"
THE ANSWERS
Bill Holmquist, Business Administration senior: When I was six
years old my brother said, "Ha, ha, I know something you don't
know!" This was followed by my brother telling me there was no
Santa.
Mary Lou Flaherty, Teachers college junior: The "kids" at
school told me and I cried and cried. Then I asked my parents and
they told me that he was a Christmas spirit that has lived forever.
Jerry Barton, Business Administration freshman: I couldn't
possibly see how Santa Claus could slid down the small hole in
our chimney.
Beth Rohwer, Ag college sophomore: A nasty little boy in the
second grade told me. He also said that there was no Easter bunny.
Bill Thayer, Business Administration freshman: My mother told
me that Santa came down the chimney but we didn't have a fire
place! Jerry Robertson, Arts and Sciences college junior: I suspected
It all along.
Chuck Decker, Business Administration sophomore: I found
presents in the closet and Christmas eve the same presents were
left for me, my parents said, by Santa.
the frigid wind. One sophomore
girl commented, "No matter which
direction I walk, the wind always
seems to hit me in the face."
No really serious accidents
have resulted fi-om falls on the
slippery ice, but some of the
falls have proved to be slightly
embarrassing. One girl fell as
she was going to her 1:00 o'clock
class when she fell near Love
library and dropped all her
books and papers. She managed
to pick up all of her snow
filled books, but many of her
papers blew away, including a
theme that had to be handed te
during the next hour.
Winter will come and winter
will go, but the University stu
dents will hardly ever consider it
a1 "Winter Wonderland."
Artists Give Skits
At Annual Party
More than 50 students and fac
ulty members of the University,
art department attended the de
partment's annual Christmas
party at the Morrill, hall galleries
Thursday aftempon.J ..'
On the afternoon's schedule,
from 3 to 5 p.m., were refresh
ments and skits given by the art
students of the freshman, sopho
more, junior and senior classes.
Theme of the skits was art com
bined with humor.
Junior art students decorated
the galleries for the occasion and
faculty members arranged the re
freshments. Duard Laging is head of the
department.
Ag College Department Of Chemistry
Conducting Research On Stale Bread
What causes bread to go stale?
A research project is under
way at the University to find out.
The agricultural cnemistry de
partment at the College of Agri
culture has a; grant from the Army
quartermaster- corps to finance
the work. Prof. R. M. Sandstedt
and Robert Gates are the inves
tigators.
One reason for the project,
the scientists said, is the great
economic loss each year from
stale bread. According to a sur
vey, the return of stale bread
from stores to bakeries was re
sponsible for waste equivalent
to 250,710,000 loaves of bread
in one year. That means about
184 million pounds of flour.
The quartermaster corps' inter
est, however, is giving better

food, including bread, to soldiers
in the front lines.
Bread goes stale even though
wrapped or placed in another
container to prevent moisture
loss. The container may prevent
moisture loss but it does not keep
the bread fresh.
The Nebraska scientists have
found that bread staling is more
the result of changes in the phys
ical and chemical makeup of the
bread's starch rather than the
drying out process. The changes
result in less flexible starch
granules which in turn cause the
bread to feel or taste dry.
There are two kinds of stal
ing In bread. One is the de
velopment of the dry, harsh
feel and ac rumbliness of the
bread crumb. The other is the
development of off flavors. The
Nebraska chemists, however,
are working on the problem of
explaining and eventually pre
venting the changes resulting:
in the former type. -
In order to understand what
happens to the ., starch when it
stales the researchers have con
ducted extensive studies on the
properties of starch especially
gelatinization. That means swell
ing and dissolving in water. They
believe this is the reverse of
staling.
The studies, they said, are
yielding valuable information for

further investigations of staling
in bread as well as information
for the starch industry.
Sandstedt and Gates are using
motion pictures in order to see
what happens to starch during
gelatinization. Motion pictures of
the starch changes are taken
through a microscope. The pic
tures are a permanent record of
valuable data. .
