A ROUND
AND
BOUT
With
Sarah Louise Meyer
SOMETIMES though not too
often It's invigorating to
take an exploration of spots un
known so early in the morning. If
so, the expedition should start on
the seventh floor of a well-known
Lincoln office building where the
massive hulk of John Henry Ken
akedes heaves itself from the ele
v&tor toward his own little law of
fice. The former Husker may be
whistling "Ach Du Lieber Augus-
tein" with a Jolly off-key abandon
that will energize and innervate.
Thus fortified one can brave the
testv atmosphere of Brace lab.
The place seems steeped in irri
table silence, and everyone prac
tically goes about on tip-toes. The
lecture hall, half way between sec
ond and third floors, is presided
over by a very brilliant physicist,
who nevertheless mutters in his
teeth. Students leave their gay
smiles outside the door, much
the Japanese do their shoes, and
assume the air of lost legions. Get
out before it gets you.
T"il
IE multitudes of sbuls who
must know where ticks in
clocks come from, or whence the
"choo" In locomotives would
glory in an Invasion of the Me
chanical Engineering building.
If you go at the wrong time you
will find the place quite over
run with overalled beings who
can tell you nothing as they
"only work here." It is always
possible, though, to unearth a
fiery-haired braintruster who
will declare a pause in order to
Initiate the ignorant into the
fascinating intricacies of the
mechanical doobiddies.
Opening off the white tiled
halls on the ground floor are the
power laboratory and the ma
chine tool shop, both sporting
fancy machines galore. In the
power lab are water pumps of
varying sizes which are kept
busy filling a storage cistern in
the basement at the rate of two
thousand gallons a minute. The
water is used to generate power
a truly vicious circle. They
also liquefy air in the lower
lower regions in a machine of
which the government seems to
have forgotten its ownership.
o
N the second floor they work
wood, and haVe a huge dis
play case of wooden urns, vases
. and similar handsome but useless
articles. There they also make the
wooden frames for whatever they
mold in the blast furnace, which is
inevitably the center" of interest on
Engineer's Night. Among such
projects is a model train, fof
which the students have done ev
ery smidgin of the labor from the
drawing of the plans to the oiling
of the completed parts and put
ting of blocks in the wheels so in
truders can't play. They've been
in training on it for several years
and have several more to go, but

Sergeant L. Regler
All's quiet on the campus front.
This is the latest report from Of
ficer Regler, the "carrpus cop,"'
who anticipates the most lawful
student body in many a year.
The only complaint which he has
to register Is that the students are
still parking their vehicles in the
faculty tones. He has given out
sixty-eight first warning tickets,
and has taken twelve cars to the
station upon their second offense.
Zones in which the students are
asked to refrsin from parking are
from 12th and J 4th streets on the
south half of the mall and back of
the Chemistry building and School
of Music.
Considering the greater number
of cars around the university this
year, the preserver of campus law
and order declared that there are
fewer signs of violations such as
going thru red lights and parking
near fire hydrants snd red lights.
He reported no trouble encounter
ed at the Varsity party at the coli
seum Saturday night.

Literary Magazine Has High
Status Among Quality
Periodicals.
Receiving five reprints in digest
magazines during the summer
months, the Prairie Schooner, Ne
braska literary publication is main
taining its status among the best
quality periodicals on the market,
according to Prof. L. C. Wimberly,
editor of the magazine. Since this
group of reprints contained stories,
poems, and an article, it amounts
to an endorsement of every type of
material that the Schooner pub
lishes, Wimberly stated.
Two of the requests for reprints
came from Fiction Parade, a pub
lication that has recently been in
corporated with Golden Book. The
Schooner numbers used were
"Another Francis," a poem by
Winifred Gray Stewart, and "Late
Afternoon," a story by Helen
Adams. Altho the Nebraska publi
cation retains the copyright on
these stories, the money received
for reprints is remitted to the au
thors as a matter of buiTness eth
ics. As high as $20 was received
for some of the stories.
Other reprints received during
the summer were Eric Howard's
"Navajo Letter" in the American
Spectator, the story "Brother" by
Karlton Kelm in Modem Story
Selections, and Barton Hill's poem,
"For a November Afternoon," in
the Anthology of Magazine Verse
and Year Book of American Poetry
for 1036.
Editor Wimberly pointed out
that these reprints boost the num
ber for a single issue, that of late
winter 1935, to six. In this issue of
the Magazine were printed four
teen numbers almost half of which
have been reprinted and one other
which was placed on Edward G.
O'Brien's 1936 honor list. The
story to receive the latter honor
was "Mop to K. C." by L. C. Eisley.

cess of the Schooner, the financial

Greeks Turn to
Waiting for
Playing bridge for first place was not only a past time, but a
cinch, for representatives of four lucky Greek groups, who had been
waiting at the head of the line since 5 a. m. at the coliseum, Tuesday,
to get the best blocks in Memorial Stadium for coming games, wheu
tickets were given out at 6 p. m.
First in line, first served, resulted in a string of 300 anxiously
waiting students, looking like a "relief line" in the coliseum corridors.
The string changed every few minutes as refreshed brethern and
sistern took the places of those who had "sat' for the previous hour.
"Wish the new Awgwan was out; get's sort of tiresome just
staring into space," wailed one sorrowful looking freshman. "I think
it's a scream," differed an optimistic soul. Still another mentioned
that he was starting the year out right by reading for two hours on
his French lesson.
"First letter I've written home since I left," commented an alert
sorority pledge, while her companion looked very sophisticated reading
the latest copy of the "New Yorker."
"Bet we have a high time with fist fights and pushing when the
tickets are given at six tonight," was the parting prediction of one
who was waiting for the fireworks.
