have completed their surveys, the
committee in Washington will no

plan would work.

Advises universities to add
summer engineering course
In an attempt to relieve a dras
tic shortage of engineers in de
fense training, the advisory com
mittee on engineering defense
training from the United States is
initiating an inquiry into the feas
ibility of having engineering col
leges throughout the nation add a
summer session to the regular
course, and thus speed up gradua
tion. The announcement of this
plan was made yesterday by Dean
O. J. Ferguson of the college of en
gineering. It is estimated that the demand
for engineers during the current
year will fall between 40 and 50
thousand, nnd approximately only
12 thousand will actually graduate.
At present there is no immediate
means of supplying the shortage,
jind it is believed that the inclusion
"of th .summer session would help
greatly to alleviate this shortage,
by actually placing graduates in
defense industries following grad
uation. Under the present tentative
plans, the engineering summer ses
sion would cover the same period
of the regular summer session now
in effect, with a maximum of nine
credit hours to be given for the
eight weeTis session.
The plan would affect engineers
in all clashes, and since high school
graduates this spring who plan on
entering the engineering college
would be affected, it is necessary
that the feasibility of such a plan
at Nebraska be decided upon as
soon as possible.
To determine the number of
possible registrants for the sum
mer session, Dean Ferguson has
taken a survey of the students in
the engineering colleges on the
campus, the results of which, have
not yet been tabulated.
Ferguson, commenting on the
plan, said, "The summer session
for Nebraska is not assured in any
sense of the word. As soon as
schools throughout the country

...will decide on summer courses.
chitectural, chemical, civil, electri
cal, and mechanical engineers, and
architects would register if they
wished for the summer session.
The seniors who would ordinarily
graduate in January of '42, would
complete required courses by Au
gust of this year, with the addition
of the summer session. Those who
would ordinarily graduate in June
of '42 would graduate instead in
January. .
The actual amount of credit
which could be gained by the ad
dition of the summer session to
the regular courses would be
equivalent to approximately a half
semester of the regular session.

Promises Cornlmsker done
and to students by Ivy Day
" Cornhusker out by Ivy Day'
Is our slogan this year," asserted
Bob Aden, editor of the yearbook,
yesterday afternoon in the Corn
husker office against the noisy
clatter of typewriters which bore
out his statement. "Printing will
probably start the first of March
so that we're now beginning the
busiest time of the year."
The annual's staff has made a
great mTmy promises this year,
just as the staff of every Coin
husker in the past, but, strange to
say, the 1011 staff is making good
its threats.
Deadline kept.
To begin with, this is the first
time in history a deadline for pic
tures has been set and kept. The
date for the individual pictures to
be in was announced as Jan. 21.
Photographs not in then were not
accepted, Aden explained. Last
year the original deadline was
moved up three times before one
Was actually enforced.

Turning to the business side of
the yearbook, Avery Forke, busi
ness manager, announced that al
most 1,250 copies have been sold
so far. "The subscription cam
paign is s.till on," he continued,
"and Cornhuskers can still be pur
chased for $4.50. But the price
will be raised to $5 for those who
buy them later-just as the pic
ture deadline was enforced."
Students reveal
what can be done
on half-a-date
By Marsa Lee Civin.
An informal survey conducted
by the DAILY showed that 20
students had a combined average
of 60 J i dates a week. This imme
diately set me to thinking, "What
do students do on half-a-date?"
After wracking my brain for an
hour, I took up my little paper
and went out to discover student
reaction to this question. The fol
lowing are some of the replies:
Shirley Russel, managing editor
of the Cornhusker, believes you do
half of everything done on a whole
date.
Priscilla Moseley, Alpha Phi:
"You drink only half the coke on
half a date."
Gerald Gerloff, Farm House,
states, "When you go to a show or
dancing, and your date has to
get home by 10:30, you get to sec
only half the picture, or dance
only part of the evening."
Burton Thiel, Acacia, replies
with, "Women do all the talking
on half -a date and we men suffer."
Betty Jean Maxwell, Chi Omega,
comes back with. "You discuss the
war situation, something intellec
tual. One must always be intellec
tual on this type of date."
Jack Stewart, Beta, thinks, half
a date is a triangle affair.
Union dance aids

WSSF will sponsor concessions
at the Union dance tomorrow night
in order to raise funds for help

A scholarship of $25 will be

ognition of her "meritorious ef
forts and scholarship attainments,"

lege, who has sufficient hours to
graduate in June, 1942, or at the
end of the summer season of 1942,

in those hours, one-third of which
must be in home economics, and
who is partially or wholly self
supporting, will be eligible for the
scholarship.
Applications.
Candidates may secure applica
tion blanks at the office of Miss
Margaret Fedde, chairman of the

You don't have to be a colonel's

This spring, fashion has taken
capes right off of officer's shoul

smart purpose. The cape linings
are of red or navy rayon silk,
while the cape is of navy wool,
ornamented with red regimental
braid on shoulders.
