Trailer Bows Out
Hungry coeds on the way home
from afternoon classes stopped
for the last time this week for a
snack at the trailer at its former
location across the street from
the girls' dorm. Mrs. Laura Ger-

The rumor started on the first
crisp autumn day. It spread
through the girl's dorm, then fell
on the questioning ears of fratern
ity brothers and sorority sisters.
The stand is gone!"
Unbelieving eyes turned to the
vacant lot that will be the future
home of a fraternity, looked away,
and glanced back, hopeful that the
white and red trailor would be in
its familiar place. The lot con

ods, the cruel emancipator was j
rolling on to an organized society.
The simple pleasures of student
life turned into occasional luxuries
over night. Students tried to con
vince their sweet tooths that soda,
popcorn, and candy aren't neces
sary to brighten up tedious study
periods. The stand had been
moved to 17th and R.
Tradition isn't a graceful loser,
the popular stand, fought back. !
She knew she would have to find
a new location for the between-
meals trailer but didn't fully real-
ize It until in her own words,
"A bulldozer came in and started
digging. Then I had to make up
my mind in a hurry."
She chose, or rather accepted,
the location at 17th and R. Ac
cepted, because it was the nearest
campus location where she could
be permitted to carry on her trade
with fewer limitations. Because of
an agreement with the owner of
the property, Mrs. Gerheardt can
not sell cigarettes.

but while this reporter was talking

"It hurts me terribly when the
fellows and girls come so far and

Mrs. Gerheardt. "I hate to disap

$5,000 Gift
To Foundation
The University Foundation re
ports the receipt of $5000 from the
estate of the late Sen. Dwight Gris
wold of Scottsbluff for the support
of the Dwight Griswold Memorial
Scholarship fund.
Perry Branch, secretary-director,
said the fund was initially estab
lished in 1954 by Sen. Griswold with
gift of approximately 3000. The
scholarship was set up in memory
of his son, a graduate of the
class of 1950, who died of polio in
1951.
Under the terms of the scholar
ship, any male student may apply.
The committee will consider schol
arship and need in making its
selection with preference being giv
en to members of Alpha Tau Ome
ga in close cases. Both the sena
tor and his son were members of
that fraternity.
The donor who served as gover
nor, U.S. Senator, member of the
Board of Begents and head of the
American MiBsion for aid to
Greece, died April 12, 1954.

recalls only one break-in, and it
was not serious. "People never
bother my stand," she continued.
"Even during the panty raid my
trailer wasn't damaged."
Mrs. Gerheardt is trying to get
permission to put her stand on one
of the vacant lots on 16th Street
where she could better serve the
students. The zoning board turned
her down because of one com
plaint. One complaint amidst the cheers
of hundreds of students was
enough to eliminate the stand from
the roster of campus customs. The
gaps in the weu-Daiancea oorm
meals will no longer be filled with
appetizing snacks from the stand.
Students will have to satisfy their

On The Social Side:
Befas Give Only Party
By GRACE HARVEY
Social Editor
As far as society news is con
cerned, but nothing happened on
campi last weekend. One lone fra
ternity party was held. Evidently
NTJ students either went home,
spent the evenings watching tele
vision or just moffed around.
The Saturday football game and
Sigma Chi Derby Day deserve
credit for raising students out of
a second weekend slump. One age
old campus tradition was reacti
vated. Following Derby Day ac
tivities freshman coeds wearing
levis fell prey to gangs of fraterni
ty pledges carrying cans of white
goo.
Beta Theta Pi held a Patio Party
Saturday night. Unfortunately, and
due to circumstances beyond the
brothers' control, the event was
renamed the Parlor Party. Approx
imately fifty Betas and their dates
danced to the music of the Beta
Combo, directed by Al Holbert.
Led by Yell King Gene Christen
sen the party adjourned to the air
port to welcome back the football

Woman Wills
'Generous Gift1
To Foundation
The University of Nebraska
Foundation has received $192,378
in securities after the partial dis
tribution of the estate of the late
Mrs. Margaret DeBord of Omaha,
Perry Branch, director - secretary,
announced today.
Branch said an addition of ap
i proximately $25,000 in cash is ex-
pected from the -estate after pay-
ments of attorney and executor
fees, bringing the total to nearly
5220,000.
Mrs. DeBord, widow of the
prominent Omaha attorney Wil
liam DeBord, stated in her will
that the income should be used for
aiding needy students and for as
sisting faculty members. The Uni
versity Foundation's share of the
estate approximates 60 per cent,
Branch said.
Branch said the late Mrs. De
Bord wished to leave the majority
of the estate to an institution in
Nebraska, where her husband had
accumulated his wealth, and she
chose the University as that insti
tution.
Commenting on the
beouest
Chancellor Clifford Hardin called
it "a most generous and worthwhile
gift. This bequest will assist in
providing an education for many
college-calibre students who other
wise might not be able to obtain
one because of the lack df financ
es.

Worthal And Snarf:
Bibler's Campus Characters
Satirize University Routine
By FRED DALY
News Editor
Imagine a little man, here at
the University, who is constantly
badgered by the Administration,
hounded by his professors, snowed
by his homework, scorned by his
Light of Love, poisoned by his
dormitory or co-op or fraternity
house meals and slightly mysti
fied by it all.
Imagine this little man who is
always a little late to English, be
hind in his biology lab work, and
who burns his fingers with acid in
chem lab. He also gets up too
late for his eight-o'clock classes
and last semester slept through
eight consecutive meetings of Po
litical Science.
He is constantly being attracted
by girls, although this attraction
seldom gets beyond great leers on
his part, and cold smiles on the
girls' part. His dates -often con
sist of cruising out to the "Woods to
enjoy nature, the stars, and the
scientific wonder of the sneak at
tack. He is forever borrowing cigarets,
cheating in tests, slavering at the
co-eds, and stealing pencils. He is
in a constant utuc
danger of flunking half his cours
es. He is "Worthal, the Little Man on
Campus, creation of Dick Bibler,
campus cartoonist extraordinaire.
Worthal, perhaps the most fam
ous of today's college students, was
conceived by Bibler in 1946, when
the cartoonist answered an ad lor

where cartoonist Bibler was an
undergraduate. Today, Bibler is

paper at the University of Kansas.
He has since expanded to papers
all across the country
Bibler was originally an artist
and writer for several service pa
pers during World War XL includ
ing Stars and Stripes and Yank.
He comments that although car
tooning for a college paper is no
way to make money, it is a good
way to take up time. Bibler also
did some work for the Sour Owl, a
campus magazine.
Since his nation-wide appeal has
developed, Worthal has found some
new friends to leer with him from
the pages of college papers. Join
ing such old favorites as Professor
Snarf, Elsie Mae and BurwelL are
Bolivar Q. Shangnasty, HI,- McGif
ford, Louise Lush, Penrod and
Dean Bellows.
There is also an as yet unnamed,
but very striking coed, a prototype
of the countless university coeds
who roam every campus, sending
little flutters up the spines of red
blooded men.
Bibler 's characters are some
times embarrassingly similar to
one's friends on campus. In Wor

His coeds are either beautiful,
slim-waisted apparitions, or else

interesting.
His men, the students in particu

smoke pipes and have rumpled
sweaters. Their hair is never
combed.
Professor Snarf, almost a legend
in some quarters, is what every
student secretly thinks of his pro
fessors. Bigotted, stern, with a
cruel turn to his lip, be keeps his
classes rigid with fear and bur
dened with textbooks. Every year
he writes a new set of six books
for each of his courses, so students
will go bankrupt paying for them.
He grades his papers with the
aid of marijuana and a long candle.
He also kicks dogs.
Such is Bibler's college world.
