Tuesday, January H, T94T fcdiiohiaL - - QommsmL - - (Buiidhv DAILY NEBRASKAN New co-ops in the offing The Student Council housing committee, after conducting an investigation of houses available for new men's cooperative. units, has called a meeting of all men interested in joining new units. Aided by the advice and experience of present co-op leaders, this committee has done admirable work and results seem likely. Barb men interested in becoming co-op mem bers should turn out 'without fail at the mass meeting. We're hoping that parlor X of the Union won't be large enough to accommodate the turnout, and we're hoping also that the number of available houses in enlarging the co-op system is not enough to satisfy the demand. The housing committee is to be commended highly for the progress it has made. Two members of the committee, in par ticular, arc to be praised for the thorough and efficient job they have done. Dorothy Jean Bryan, and Ray Murray have spent many hours investigating and searching for a solution to the housing and boarding problems. The success and progress of the co-op system, if new houses are started, will be due in a large measure to their work. rfh DailyNebmskan Official Newipaptf Of Mort Than 7.000 StudtnU fohtiktiFyeau.

Human beings are silly people In many respects in fact in prac tically all respects. One of the simplest examples is the hack neyed expression, "What I don't know, for example, about horses, would fill a book." Now that's silly. Everyone knows a lot about horses. A horse is a male or a female. There are mother horses, father horses, and baby horses. Infant horses are known as colts until they get too big, and then they're called horses. Mother horses are female horses and father horses are male horses. Horses have four legs, one on each corner, and a head on one end and a tail on the other end. The head end is the front end, which leads us to as sume that the tail end is the back end, which you can identify by a tail which is there. Horses gen erally go forwards, although some times they can go backwards, bu they mustn't like to go backwards because they don't do it very much. Horses come in almost every color except green and pink; they also come in lota of sizes big ones for big people and little ones for the little people. Some horses pull tilings and some carry things; these things are commonly known as wagons and people. Horses eat hay and grass and must get a lot of vitamins, because hay and grass have lots of vitamins, you know. You can tell a horse's age by his teeth; and If he's wearing plates, he's old. Horses drink water; they aren't like people they like it. Horses hop skip, and run and can go awful fast. If your horse won't go at all, you build a fire under him hell learn. To steer a horse you pull on the reins, which turns his head one way or the other, and then he follows his nose. A horse Union Building - 7193. Journal 2-3333. Home Ec group meeting postponed until Wednesday Home Economics association will hold its first meeting of the new year on Wednesday, Jan. 15, in the Union. The meeting, post poned because of conflicts, was formerly scheduled for Tuesday, and was so announced in this week's issue of "The Women." All members of the club are urged to be there promptly at 7:30, when the annual picture for the Cornhusker will be taken. Meeting will be held after the picture. An interesting topic, "Let's Take A Trip," has been chosen for this week looking forward, perhaps, to the summer vacation. Two members of the group will speak on trips that they have taken: Hetty Dunn Wheeler, on her trip to Cuba; Betty Jo Smith, on her trip to Canada. At this time candidates for the election, to be held Wednesday and Thurs day, will be presented. Helen Klntt ia chairman of the program; Betty Jean Spalding serves as publicity chairman for this meeting. Ag WAA council plans tea dance Plans are being made by the ag WAA council for an all-ag wom en's tea dance to be held lit the college activities building: Thurs day, Jan. 16, from 5 to 6 p. m. The council has planned novelty dances and refreshments for the party. doesn't have to take baths. He just stands in the rain. Now you see, It's very silly for people to say they don't know much about anything. Can't you see that everyone knows a lot about everything. Or can youT Whither? The sun's shining today. Every thing seems quiet and peaceful. And everything looks permanent. The sun is permanent. The days and nights are sure to come. But peace? We wish we knew. Here we sit Almost of draft age. Waiting for the powers and the fates to decide whether there will be a peace blackout in Amer ica. Waiting to see if we are to delay our entrance into the busi ness, or teaching, or selling, or professional worlds. Waiting to see if instead, we will shoulder a rifle, or oil a tank, or twist a propellor. Here we are, as a new decade begins, as civilization advances, as science progresses, as our knowl edge becomes greater . . . here we are, waiting. For what? We wish we knew. Nothing exists that tells us what to do. American youth is a lost youth, wandering along a path that forks here and there; and at each fork, part of that youth leaves the path. Some want to aid Britain, some want to fight now, some are isolationists, some are socialists, a few are communists, even fewer are fascists. The freedom our youth has al leviates the perplexity somewhat, allowing it to enjoy life at any given moment. But, every day and every night, we wish we knew where we are going. Some of us have faith in the President. Some have faith in the isolationist bloc in congress. But none of us can say where we'll be or what we'll be doing for sure a year from now. That is, none of us who are 20 or over. Businesses don't want us be cause we're eligible to go into service. We can't marry because we can't find jobs. We don't know what to plan. Thank God, however, that we can live from day to day; that we can still speak, write, and pray any way we like. Democracy's weakness lies in its insecurity to predict the future, until the last word is read. But democracy's strength lies In Its capacity to make that insecurity bearable. We wish we knew where we were going, tho. It would be such a help. A Student. The President, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska. Dear Sir: My family and I were so much impressed by the head Nebraska cheer leader at the Rose Bowl Game on New Years day that I feel I must write you and tell you of our reactions. Our box was in the first row di rectly in front of the microphone the young man used, so we had ample time to observe him at very close quarters for over three hours. Of course we were charmed by his enthusiastic and energetic per sonality but more than that during the whole game we never heard him say a word or make a gesture which wasn't in the best taste or In the finest traditions of sportsmanship. And we were not alone in this opinion for like comments were being made on all sides of us. This young man should certainly be complimented very heartily on his conduct that day. It was both refreshing and reassuring to find such a splcnded type of young American representing the youth of today. Your university should be extremely proud of him. I am, Sincerely yours, Maryann Chappie The letter aoove was received by the chancellor from 1jd Angeles party attending the Roue Bowl game. Indeed the school eaa k proud ( such repre sentatives. Chem honorary initiates eight Iota Sigma Pi, national honorary chemistry fraternity, held Initia tion ceremonies for eight new members on Thursday, at 6 p. m., In Avery. Following the initiation, members adjourned to the Capitol hotel, where their dinner was held. The new members are: Eva Speier, Pat Sternberg, Arlene Mann, Fern Bloom, Ella Rite, Ma rian Roberts, Esther Connett, and Lila Meyerott Behind the bv Olson 'Loyal opposition Shortly after his defeat for the presidency of the United States last November, Wendell Willkie, in a radio speech to the nation, de clared that his position during the third term of President Roosevelt would be one of "loyal opposition." He moved a step in the direction of detailing that position Sunday when he came out, "with reserva tions," for the Administration's lease-lend plan to aid the democracies in their struggle with the axis. Issuing the statement upon the eve of a flying trip to England, the Republican presidential aspirant expressed the belief that the na tion faced an emergency under which "extraordinary powers must be granted to the elected executive," and declared, "I have examined this bill in the lights of the current emergency, and I personally have come to the conclusion that, with modiifcation, it should be adopted." Tho Wlllkie's statement was hailed with enthusiasm in many quarters, there was every possibility Monday that it may be the cause of a serious rift in the Republican party. Most outspoken against the party's standard bearer was former Governor Alfred M. Landon of Kansas who declared, "If Mr. Willkie had revealed that to be his position before the republican national con vention he would not have been nominated. In addition, it is well known that certain others high in the party oppose the lease-lend measure, notably Senators Taft and Vandenburg. Radiating from the differences within the Republican group, the Willkie statement gives impetus to the movement to break down party lines for the discussion of the aid to Britain measure. A bi-partisan opposition to the bill wa3 forming even before Will kie spoke under the leadership of Democratic Senator Burton K. Wheeler and Republicans Taft and Vandenburg. Mr. Willkie's position probably will encourage some, at least, of those Republicans who sup port him to side with the Administration members in passing the bill. Meanwhile, British sources hailed the statement as the most im portant event of the weekend, and prepared to place all facilities at his disposal during his stay in England. 'by Btb AlArich" This is the time of year when New Years' resolutions are in or der. In fact, most of those that were made on Jan. 1 have prob ably been broken by now. But no such careless breaker of resolutions is our friend Joe Gilch. "For example," Joe explains, "I resolved to get up as soon as the alarm clock goes off instead of lying there trying to fight my way back to sleep when my conscience tells me I ought to be up and about." "This worked very well the first few mornings," Joe continues, "but a relapse to my old habits has forced me to design the Gilch Repeating Alarm Clock which au tomatically whacks the sleeper over the head with a rubber base ball bat. If this fails, the Cilch Clock then plays a phonograph record ing of "Stars and Stripes For ever," loudly rendered by two washtubs and an old Ford car. If all this fails, the clock then says in a threatening voice, "Hey you bum, pile out of bed or I'll knock the stuffing out of you!" Joe has also resolved to curb his violent temper and take orders from his alleged superiors without more than a casual mutter. Joe has offered to pay his girl friend a dollar every time she catches him using profane language. Ac cording to the latest report, he owes her $117.80. Joe has determined never to strike anybody unless the other guy hits him first. This led to seri ous complications the other night when his girl friend's brother started to pick a fight. Repeating his resolution to himself, Joe had to stand there while two of his gold teeth were knocked out be fore he could beat his girl friend's brother to a pulp. Joe says New Year's resolutions are too hard to keep and he hereby resolves never to make another one. One fellow who can raise the devil and get away with it is s spirit medium. A California coed querying about two for a nickel cigars asked, "Do they have a name or just a number?" Life is like a jig-saw puzzle.
