"It isn't bad, except that I can't

It's Benito the bull who has
been providing a lot of laughs in
this year's show, with most of the
humor coming in the attempts of
Muir and Goldstein to "co-operate,"

support to the proposed purchase

would become a part of the engi

UN submits
armory plans
to Washington
WPA headquarters
studies application
for university building
Whether Nebraska will have a
new armory may be decided soon
as the university's formal applica
tion is now being studied at WPA
headquarters in Washington, D. C.
As a part of the national defense
program, the application for the
armory is not going thru regular
WPA channels, A. A. U a t s o n,
state director of WPA operations,
said, and, therefore, action on the
bid may come sooner than ex
pected. First submitted to D. F. Felton,
state administrator of the WPA,
the application was passed, then
sent to the regional office, then
on April 21, went to Washington
for final action.
Cost of an armory would prob
ably total about $225,000. All of
this money would have to come
from federal funds, according to
L. F. Seaton, university operating
superintendent, who said that the
university had no money for erect
ing such a structure.
The new building would house
the ROTC unit and would also bo
employed in some phase of the na
tional defense program. At any
rate, the armory would definitely
be a university building.

WASHINGTON. April 24 As

of the Office of Production Man
agement today urged occupational
deferment from selective service
for college students who are study
ing civil, electrical, chemical, me
chanical, mining and metallurgical
engineering, as well as all branches
of chemistry.
Manpower in these fields is at a
"dangerously low level." he de
clared in asking national draft of

rector Lewis E. Hrshey, Mr. Hill
man said that representatives of

nation's colleges and universities
also anticipated early shortages in
agricultural and sanitary engineer
ing, dentistry, pharmacy, physics,
biology, bacteriology, gco-physics,
meteorogy. hydrology, cartography
and medicine.
While not specifically defined in
the li tter, it was assumed in Wash

tion for occupational deferment
would include individual students
in undergraduate preprofessional
courses and June graduates who
are enrolled for .admission next
September in professional schools
offering training in these fields.
"It is reported," he told the
draft director, "that the uncertain
ties arising from the attitudes of
local draft boards have already
affected the registration of stu
dents for graduate work in the
professional fields."
"Therefore, it is urgently recom
mended," said Mr. Hillman, "that
the most serious consideration be
given by the Selective Service
System to the individual occupa
tional deferment of students in
these courses, so long as they con
tinue to be in preparation or train
ing as necessary men in activities
necessary to the national defense
program."
