PAGE TWO Shidmd (puiM Elmer Wants to Trade Howell for Sarah Louise To the Editor: I not to thinking: on the shape of things around the Daily Ne luaskan after I left Saturday aft ernoon. I was just there a jiffy, because everybody was so down at the mouth that I figured Dean Thompson must have been trying to collect the mortgage or some thing. That jolly dungeon, where the college copy hounds usually frolic like a bunch of lambs on a rut-bank in the spring, looked like n funeral kitchen with all the folks sit ling around the stove remem-iKi- ng yarns about the deceased. When I found out that your bright city gal, Sarah Louise Meyer, who spars aRound and aEout every day for the delight of all the readers even those who get one on the chin now and then was at cross purposes with the Dean for not studying much, I felt kind of let down and hurt. I'll tell you what I thought of. 1 was mowing in a hay field about three miles from the house a couple of summers ago. It was a blisUrer ami both me and the horses were suffering from the herd. I don't mind mowing ordi narily but some davs the eoine is too tnlK'h fur romfort fin siii'h i n ivs little tilings sometimes hap pi n to i liPi r you up, rays of sun shine ve cull 'tin back home, but ln.iybe y..u wouldn't say that. Well, on this day I'm telling you j'bout there was a butterfly kept liilting about the team all morn ing. It was a pretty thing dashing Around and About over head, Hashing its colorful wings. I kind ol forgot the hoiit and dust and burning sweat. I developed quite a M!t spot for that pretty butterfly. Just before noon it clouded up Midden like with a whole fleet of black ones. 1 figured I'd just fin ish the round and then unhitch und make a bee-line for home. Bu'. before I got to the corner, it be gan to tain those hard, pellet like urops. Then it started to hail. 1 tied the team and crawled under a shock of hay. It was over as quick as it came. Rut when 1 went back to the team the first thing 1 saw was my but terfly. A hailstone had smashed it against one of the harness straps. It made me a little sick. I couldn't t-ec why anything as airv and pretty and colorful as a butterfly should have to worry about hail. Maybe I'm sentimental. But that's what I thought of when I beard Sarah Louise had been cut off by the ineligibility krife. College is kind of like mowing on a hot day and Sarah Louise was something of a butterfly. I used to read her column every morning to make the beat a lit tle easier to take. Well, I guess the hail got her too. It isn't often that people can do two things at once, and I guess Sarah Louise wrote too good a column to study much. You know the trials of the Rag :.re as close to my heart as that growing bare spot cm the south i-ighty where the wind is whipping It all the grass and leaving the pasture a black, burnt smudge.

The next best thing you've got after Around and About- some people think it's as good - is Johnny Howell's bit in the society col umn. Why don t you get Quarter back Howell to go over to T. J.'s office and offer to give up writing his daily piece if the dean will let Sarah Louise continue. This proposition might not satisfy the eligibility appetite of the dean, but if he's after Rag blood, he could get more from the robust football hero than from "Slim" Sarah Louise. Now, you neglected to take my last advise about the paper. I asked you to run editorials and stuff people don't read under the captions of things they do read like Miss Meyer, Mary Anna and Johnny. For your own good, I wish you would try to keep Sarah Louise. Signed, Klmer Blaine. 1 write to you so much that I'm getting self-conscious. I was sure glad I didn't use my right name on my letters, when I saw pome kills looking in the directory for it the other day. Something I wanted to tell you about tho, and didn't because 1 bate to write so much, was about your editorial on Mr. Fling. What you said about Mr. Fling's miss ing his friendship with cock roaches and dodging bricks when he came into II. hall and picking up his papers because of the wind thru the cracks was kind of funny, but you forgot a lot of things he will really miss. I know some things myself about Mr. Fling's life here which he should consider before he jroes to Hamilton college for more money and less work. And if he thought shout what I mean, h sure wouldn't want to leave Ne braska. University hall has a lot of friendly vermin besides cock roaches. Mr. Fling and Mr. Tilche were sitting in that big room where they have their office one day, when he spied a mouse exploring the top of a table. The watched him awhile in high glee, and then took out after him. They were excited and forgot to change from their Trench and Spanish back to English for their exclamations and epethets against the legis lature. This confused the mouse so badly that he couldn't find his hole. After getting the whole room in a mess they finally followed the little imp out into the hall and from there into another room where class was in session. The mouse found a hole. The class and of course Tilche and Fling had a fine time. Something else which Hamilton won't have which Fling will miss. And that's the turkish bath effect of U. hall. The heat only comes up in etitain places in the old shack and ventilation is impossible. When the windows are opened high enough so they stick they pry the fiame so far apart that the top window comes down. Such in triguing complications as this can not re matched at any eastern college. Window frames don't dry out and mice don't th ive where it rains every day. hauffrnan of the law college is not coming back either. Mr. Fling, y li.

The Infantry Cadet officers as sociation will meet Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock in room 206 of Nebraska Hall to make plans for their organization. Cadet Clonel Bill Crittenden is in charge of the association. Shoulder patches, like those wonr by the enginers and artillery battalions, will be described. A name for the Saturday morning drill class, sponsored by the asso ciation under the direction of Major Ayotte, will be selected. All junior and senior infantry officers are urged to attend. AROUND and ABOUT (Continued from Page 1.) have been aired before many times and in many different ways, the cross section aspect of the Journal survey throws some inter esting lights on the subjects. More Sex Education. In the nation as a whole, 85 per cent of the women felt that young people should be taught more about sex before marriage. The group of women under 30, and also the group of single women, fell even more strongly on the subject, 91 percent advising such instruc tion. Just 3 percent less educational-minded were the divorcees, who constituted the most "specula tional" of all groups rom the purely case study standpoint. Contradicting the concept of tho total group who decided 44 to T6 percent against unhappy sex rela tionships as the chief reason for the failure of most marriages, di vorced women held, 68 to Z2 per cent, that it was. And too, of all the groups, they were the onlv ones to maintain, 55 to 45 percent, that they would advise their daughters to marry in the realiza tion that divorce was always avail able as an escape. "Give It to Ui Straight." This younger generation, which the women of America are so con cerned about, would receive its sex education in the home, pre ferably, if the will of the 62 per cent majority were to be carried out. School and college were thought to be second best, printed sources of information third. The younger women, particularly, sought a realistic and honest treat ment of sex "give it to us straight." But a teacher's wife in Idaho snorts, "I don't sec how they could be taught any more thtui they now know." Another youthful question in the matter of divorce is the problem of jealousy.

Sixteen percent of the women between 30 and 45 stated it as a cause of friction, 14 percent of those over 45. Inci dentally, jealousy quarrels were prominently mentioned by di vorcees, 28 percent's worth. When asked to name the quali ties in a husband most necessary in a happy marriage, 49 percent listed "kindness and considera tion." Ambiguously, "good disposi tion" ranked second, ability to pro vide, third, faithfulness, fifth.
