'4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Sunday, February 18, 1940 Mary Anna says .. . I t's a hard I if e for students -especially society editors "If It Wasn't for the Moon," Pinky Tomlin style still running thru my mind, course we weren't out looking at the moon last night. Society editors, you may be sure, don't have time to look at moons. They have to spend their eve nings discovering whose heart Johnny Mason is breaking these days. WEARING is this business of getting around and hard on the feet too. One campus queen takes to a pair of beaten-down bedroom slippers when she's just around home. Fri day night she sailed out to the Kappa formal looking her smooth est but mentally cringing at the thought of spending a whole eve ning in new formal slippers. And then right in the middle of "All the Things You Are" her feet, but hardly her reputation, were saved by the appearance of a messenger boy bearing the cherished bedroom slippers and a note from her all-too-practical roommate. THAT GIBSON GAL Betty, Gamma Thi, docs better as a socialite than an inmate of the Home Management house. At least she was a bit stumped when faced with a whole week's wash ing. Betty, not mechanical-minded, was having all sorts of difficul ties getting the washing machine in gear when in walked the plumber to fix the pipes in the basement. Betty, desperately grasping at any straw, approached the unsuspecting victim with, "You look like a family man. Can vou get this thing started?" And he did!

Nutting (Continued from Page 1.) time, many activities are per formed by governmental agencies which are like those undertaken by private enterprise and which may endanger the lives and prop erty of individuals. For this rea son many persons now believe that the government sl'ould be re quired to compensate individuals injured by action of government agents." Nevertheless, the university law professor pointed out only two etates, Illinois and New York, pro vide adequate protection in this regard. Other states have assumed liability for certain classes of in juries, particularly those growing out of the construction and main tenance of highways. Still others permit the legislature to pass spe cial acts permitting named indi viduals to sue the state for par ticular injuries. Most of the states handle the matter by passing spe cial acts appropriating money for the relief of particular individuals. "In Nebraska it is virtually im possible for a person to pue the t-tate for damages for personal in juries inflicted by state agents," Professor Nutting told the group. 'Our supreme court has held that the state cannot assume liability by special legislation. The legisla ture has never assumed liability for such injuries by a general Ret. Such a bill was introduced at the last regular session of the legisla ture but failed of passage. Curie (Continued from Page 1.) Now on her second lecture tour, Mile. Curie will discuss her moth er's absorption in research coupled with her devotion to her children and her collaboration with Pierre. Proceeds from the lecture will go to the club's scholarship fund. Famous in her own right as a playwright, musician, author, the French woman first became known in this country through her book describing her mother's career. Not a scientist herself, she has a keen perception and vivacious wit and is noted for her entertaining talks. Carnival- (Continued from Page 1.) sentation, Mary Sherburne; booths, Jane Delatour.

The new or chestra, or g an ized by Emanuel Wishnow of the school of music faculty, makes its initial public performance to day, and will play a program Emanuel wuhnow.of four numbers, Journal and star, perennial favor ites of music-lovers. The first se lection, "Air on the G String" by Bach, is one of that great com poser's best known works. Play Stamitz quartet Carl Stamitz, who was influen tial in developing the classical type of instrumental music, is the composer of "Orchestra Quartet in F Major," which is the second number of the program. Vivaldi's "Concerto for Four Solor Violins in D Major" will feature Marcella Conforto, Mar garet Porter, Henry Brahinsky, and James Price as the violinists, who will be assisted by Marian Percy, pianist. Insemination (Continued from Page 34 States the year she passed her fourth birthday. That year she gave down virtually 860 pounds of butterfat, suspended in more than 10,391 quarts of milk. For every day she has been milked she has produced an average of 55 pounds of milk or 25 quarts. A few of her ancestors on the "dis taff side" produced more than 4 per cent butterfat. And one of them but that's enough about her lineage. What of her transportation into the world? The semen was col lected by one William Reed, herds man at Winterthur, the afternoon of May 3 and flown air mail to Lincoln in a specially desdigned thermos bottle furnished by the American Dairy Cattle Club. The temperature during shipment ranged from 40 to 60 degrees. The thermos bottle arrived in Lincoln some 18 hours later, with about half as many of the sperm still capable of movement as when they left Delaware. About t "! hour after the shipment arrived, the cow was inseminated then again some nine hours later and still again the following day, using 1.8 OC eacn ume. George Trimberger, dairy herda man at the college of agriculture, superintended arrival of the call with great care. For example, the navel was swabbed with iodine tr prevent chance infection. And 80 cc's of blood drawn from the mother's jugular vein were in jected four places into the' calf's neck, after the practice followed by the Nebraska dairy husbandry department, to give "Gerblair" a good start in life. She weighed 78 pounds at birth ... a little light, but "doing very nicely now, th-ank you." ' The preservation of semen is otie gate to the new world of artificial insemination. If that gate is thrown open or. in other words if the sperm can be kept in good condi tion for, say 48 to 72 hours 'then the inheritance of great sires can perhaps be flown regularly from one end of the nation to the other. And the comparatively few truly great sires of the world could number their offspring by the, hundreds where they now number them by the dozen. PHOTO SHOP- 1406 0 LINCOLN' VAN DOE? AN PHOTOGRAPHS iS?
