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.

ABOUT HORSES.
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

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.

people to say they don't know

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.

The President,

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

'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.

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.
