The release from the bondage of winter underwear and winter fare has a personal significance pecu liar to each individual. For in stance balmy days are looked for ward to by some because they her ald the approach of lilac time. It's time somebody chanted an odifica tion to the lilacs. We of the virtue-preserved nuded down-town campus miss the inspiration of great bushes of sweet scented, many colored blossoms that Ag students may enjoy. The R street lilacs are mostly of a worn out ' lavender, on somewhat beaten up bushes; the Holdrege street flow ers load down extra size bushes with blooms shading from white to purple. The agricultural lilacs, in a sin gle clump, may combine white with a dusty pink, an orchid, a magenta, a cerise, a full bodied lavender, a purple. We imagine the color bouquet would be a mouth waterer for the visually ar tistic; oursclf can only sniff and igh. So sing a song to the lilacs. And may we have less police enforced barrenness of school grounds. AND ICED COFFEE. But May days have an even deeper connotation in our aging life. We never fail to get ex cited over the first strawberry shortcake of the year, or the first iced tea in public eating places. But the thrill of thrills is always the season's first iced coffee. Ah, there's a beverage! We can wax poetic over chilled eaffcin as over no other liquid stimulation. Refreshing, exhu berating, palate pleasing iced coffee. Something administrative under lings and assistants to heads of schools and colleges anticipate with joy is spring registration. Swarms of earnest coming up sophomores annually break all records in unanswerable questions concerning majors, minors, group requirements and their multifari ous possibilities for substitution, the qualification's of instructors, tho worthwhilencss or snapfrincss of courses, the rescheduling of labs, the arrangement for work ing, the specially permissioned postponement of phys ed or drill, and numerous unclassifiable in terrogations. Of course the old timers have to learn the mechanics of the or deal anew at each encounter with each signing up for classes, and inevitably come up missing as seniors in at least one of the nu merous potentialities for deficien cies. The average, non-conscientious student soon falls into the attitude of a tentative schedule for now, anrl a reregistering in September. How can one know in the spring concerning one's intel lectual bends in the fall ? OFFICE AND JOB HOLDING. And then, with the winding up of the second semester, come the tribulation twins applying for activities jobs, and running for elections. Hectic last minute plays are made for positions or offices, with customarily scram bled results. From the vast per spective of a July sun bath the scramblers wonder what all the fuss was about. So that's spring. To each it spells an individualized joy or cross. And, as some good book says, each can bear his own. HOME ECONOMIC SENIORS SECURE POSITIONS AHEAD In ciiHe you're worried uhoul what field to enter in order that your chances of obtaining work will be bright after graduation, a good suggestion to co-eds might be to enter the home economics field. Basis for this advice rests on the fHct that all home eco nomics students who are to gradu ate this year already have secured positions and there is still a brisk demand for more students with the same training. Miss Margaret Fedde, chairman of the home economics department at the college, suid all seniors qualified for hospital dietetics have secured interne-ships for next year. Frances Schmidt, Wymote, will be at the University of Michi gan hospital at Ann Arbor; Josephine McCulley. Omaha. is going to the state university hos pital at Oklahoma City; Rebecca Koerting, Lincoln, is to be at the Latter Day Saints hospital out at Rait Lake City; Mnrjorie Miller, Holdrege. goes to the University if Chicago clinics; and Esther Luckey, Columbus, will be located at the University of Minnesota hospital in Minneapolis. Tour seniors preparing them scrves for teaching have also been placed. They include Helen Wehling at Winner. Althea Barada at Geneva; Katherine Jones at Blue Hill and Elsie Euxman at Holdrege. Of seniors graduating from home economics in February, two are teaching, two are doing re settlement work in Nebraska, one Is married, two plan to he mar ried in the near future, one is doing food service work at the Hyde Park hotel In Kansas City, one in studying retailing in New York City and one is unable to Kreept n position at the present time.

Dr. Earl H. Bell, assistant pro fessor of anthropology, received a wire from Thorne Deuel, research associate of the department of an thropology at the University of Chicago, that he will be in Lin coln today to inspect the archae ological material that has been collected by Nebraska archaeolog ical survey parties in recent years. Considered one of the outstand ing authorities on archaeology east of the Missouri river. Deuel ex pects to remain here for one week studying Nebraska pottery and other material representative of the Great Tlains culture. J. B. Griffin, director of the eastern ceramics repository at the University of Michigan, just left the University after a week spent looking over Dr. Bell's collection. Griffin was amazed with the hard ness of the pottery found in Ne braska, which in itself is indicative of a high type of civilization exist ing in the state before the advent of the white man. According to Dr. Bell, Deuel has been able to study the private and museum archaeological collections through the Mississippi drainage as well as the important finds in the east. He will be in a position to determine the relationship be tween the early Nebraska plains culture and those of the eastern sections, and will take back with him the complete picture of the older civilizations inhabiting this part of the country. I i m A i I Negro Frals Follow Names In Rivalry-Apes, Polecats Societies Are Little Known On Campus; Favorite Sport Basketball. "Polecats" and "Apes" may sig nify Putortus putorius and An thropoidea to the Sioologist and something far different to the av erage layman, but on the Nebras ka campus they signify two Negro fraternities, Kappa Alpha Psi and Alpha Phi Alpha, between whom a keen rivalry exists. Kappa and Alpha alumni chapters are also found in Omaha, with the same strong rivalry between members. One of the "chief outlets of this competition is basketball. Altho the existence of these fra ternities is practically unknown on the campus, both have lively organizations. They meet weekly at the Lincoln Urban League building.
