Lingering March winds put
damper on locaToutdoor life7
By Agnes Wanek.
It looks as if the traditional
March winds delayed arriving un
til April and have put somewhat
of a dent in everyone' plans for
an outdoor weekend. However,
campus social life shivers on,
and
SIGMA NU'S

night at the Hotel Lincoln and if
you were there you probably saw
these Sigma Nu's and their dates:
Bob Llvengood and Theta Aline
Hosman; John Spence and Bobby
Epps; Bob Moffett and Mary Lou
Neumann, AOPi; Wally Engdahl
and Polly Perkins, Delta Gamma

Pi Phi Fran Cloidt.

opening of the Park Friday night

(plug), i now walking out for
his trip." The pilot, Lt. Calvin B.
Simmons of the Lincoln instruc
tional staff, had a pleased, capable
look about him M we climbed into
the plane, named B. T. 9, stand
ing for Basic Training ship 9. Of
North American make, it holds
two men, has a cruising speed of
140 m. p. h., a top of 1S5, and 450
horsepower. An ominous note was
truck again, though, as he ex
plained just what to do in case
of accident. First, we unfasten the
safety belt which runs around our
middle, then we slide back the
glass cockpit cover, and then we
jump, making sure to pull in due
time the release lever of the para
chute strapped on our back.
Up!
We taxied over to the main run
way then, the pilot called back
"all set?" and the plane started
roaring down the runway at what
eemed like terrific speed. The
ground started falling away, pro
ducing much the same sensation
as going up in an express elevator,
and the next thing we knew earth
ly objects were dwindling away in
size until the landscape looked
like a tiny panoramic model. Uni
versity Place and the Nebraska
Wealeyan campus passed under us,
then the Ag campus, and soon the
city campus. Beyond rose the tall
downtown buildings and the tower
ing state capitol. Just as we were
craning our neck to see whether
the staff back in the Union was
Bluffing on the job, the floorboard
came up like a Joe Louis undercut
and every drop of liquid in our
body made a heroic effort to cram
all of itself inside our toes. Later
this was laughingly called a 180
degree turn a right smart turn
during which centrifugal force is
equal to four times the normal pull
of gravity.
Smooth wiling.
On the whole, however, the
flight was as smooth riding as
your own bed after a temperate
evening, and the effect was one
of hovering above the ground
rather than hurtling through
space, although 135 miles an hour
isn't quite hovering. After about
ten minutes in the air, we settled
down to earth again, In more ways
than one, and the landing, al
though sudden, hadn't a trace of
bump to it.
Harris and Combs were taken
up respectively by Lt. Oliver E.
Ford, jr., second in command of
the Lincoln detachment, and Lt.
Maurice Lemon. For each of them,
too, lt was the first time ever, and
both reported quite a thrill from
the experience.

Sorcnson gives
talk on secondary
education needs
An important objective of sec
ondary education should be to give
young people an opportunity to
study significant national problems
under direction of competent
teachers, Dr. Frank Sorenson of
the university teachers college
high school faculty pointed out to
educators attending the annual
North Central Association conven
tion in Chicago.
Sorenson spoke last Wednesday
afternoon on the program of the
commission on curricula of sec

State crops need
more irrigation
Fate of Nebraska erops this
year wttl depewd on irrigation ac
cording to the extension engineers
at ag college. Though encourag
ing reports on moisture have been
received tMs spring from several
counties, there is not sufficient
subsoil moisture generally to in
sure crop production.
They suggest that spring irri
gation when feasible is the best
means of insuring good yields this
year. From general observation
and crop yields given by farmers
throughout the state, it has been
found that pre-irrigated soil in the
form of fall or early spring irri-
