For Thla Issue
That the new "Woman's Ha'.P
to b strictly a University ver. ure
IS
the most gratifyitg feature of thfr
plan. Students have !jo long bfn
forced to "trust to luck" for a place
to hold tb-ir meetings and entertain
ments and. whi!e the new hone is primarily-
for the women. It is to be
hoped that it will lead eventually to a
stuler.t. cnion buCding where a:i Uni
versity entertainments and meetings

the Temple but conflicting srhedul-s
have long sine made it pia n that only
a separate building wil: suff.ee to meet j
the varied demands of University ac
Uvities.
Of all student endeavors probably
none outride cf football ave earned
more recognition for Neoraka than
has the popular cora'c "Awgwan." Iu
humor, both in verse and cartoon, has
found its way into columns of Judge
and Life as regular as Issues appear
and from coast to coast readers have
w ritten their commendations.
With the opening of Nebraska's
first real war year the question of con
tinuing the publication has arisen and
the fate of the comic will soon be de
cided in a
conference of tfie editors j
and managers and th student publi
cation board.
While to some it may seem there Is
no place for levity and smiies during
the grim business of war. The Ne
braska!! believes that the military life,
especially to the "rookie." is monot
onous and were it not for a bit of
fun now and then. In its proper place,
the energy and enthusiasm cf the
soldter would soon begin to wane. An
instructor in an officers' training camp
Is repor'ed to have said that more men
fail from worry than any other cause
And the "happy-go-lucky" fellow, who
confines his fun to off-duty hours, i
the man who succeeds. The life and
burnor which is created by a publi
cation of the "Awgwan" type, it feems.

DAILY DIARY RHYMES

"COMPORT DE LUXE"
In the muck and dirt cf a stable floor
I've slept the sieep of the deafi;
With a g!ee c'ub of cooties to pester
my hide
And the burstin' shells overaeaa.
I've slept with my back to the trunk
of a tree,
And sl-pt the sler-p of a child;
Cramped and achir and plumb full
of chills
I've fciept through it meek and mild.
U'lt wo'jld you be'ieve it, the other
day.
We stopped in a Beirium tows.
Musty and mired, all s1eepy and tired, h
I was achin' to lav me down. !
Well, they qiartered me in a peasant's
shack
And showed me up to the loft;
V.'I h an old four-poster and feather
bed.
But tbe thing was too blame soft.
I tosed and tumbled with eyes wide
awake.
And finally 1 put on my hat;
For I couldn't find reut. in that feath
ery nest
And what do you think of that?
So out in the night I sneaked away
And laid my bones on the eaith;
WLh the sky for a pillow, my head
on my arm.
I siept for all I was worli.
When we fM through with them
