At least 75 American college
students are not entirely sold on
the nation's defense program.
And they will not be, they
bluntly let it be understood here
this week, until pertinent questions
have been answered.
This was the spirit at early ses
sions of the 1941 Institute of
Government this week, as college
students from every section of the
country "officially" representing
more than 75 leading universities
spent a sultry week in Washing
ton taking apart the defense pro
gram, the administration's aid-to-Britain
program, and probably
most important of all the na
tion's selective service system.
In a question period following
an off-the-record discussion of de
fense training, Dr. Fred J. Kelly,
divisional chieftain of the U. S.
Office of Education, was set back
by a New England student who
asked why the office if it was so
interested in education didn't un
dertake the education of local
draft boards. While the training
of local boards falls outside the
domain of the office, Dr. Kelly told
his questioner he too thought some
education for local boards would
not go amiss.
Doubts if Nebraska is bombed.
A Nebraska student who pref
aced his query with the observa
tion that he doubted if "Hitler
plans to bomb that God-forsaken
part of the country" asked the
Office of Education spokesman if
they "really are not educating peo
ple to go to war?" He was told the
National Defense program was de-

war.
Throughout the sessions students
returned continually to selective

Union board
Three seniors, three
juniors, l wo sophomores
to be recommended
Three seniors', three juniors'
and two sophomores' names were
submitted for recommendation to
the new Student Union board at
a Student Council meeting last
night, but lack of a quorum pre

board has ruled that four must
be barbs and four greeks, and
one must also be a representative
from ag college.
To be recommended by the
Council for senior membership are
Ruth Iversen, affiliated; Jeanne
Hecker, affiliated, and Morton
Margolin, affiliated. Juniors are
Bob McNutt, affiliated, and Laurel
Morrison, unaffiliated. For sopho
more positions Glen Kruger and
Geraldine Henderson, of ag col
lege, both unaffiliated, are recom
mended. Goldstein nominated
Bud Goldstein was nominated
from the floor, but because of the
lack of a quorum the Council was
unable to approve any of the sub
mitted list.
Only old members voted at this
meeting, since yesterday's elec
tion of Council representatives will
not be official until it is decided
whether women's party prefer
ential ballots are to be included
in awarding several more offices
according to the percentage of
votes cast.
Election of officers for next
year will take place at a meet
ing next Wednesday of old and
new members.

Students wouldn't be caught
dead in dirty cords, curlers
Anticipating some unusual re
plies, your reporter asked, "What
wouldn't you be caught dead in?"
The replies concerned everything
from clothes to bedrooms.
Chi O Jo Duree: "I have a par
ticular antipathy for sarongs."
Unaffiliated Gwendolyn Guest
wouldn't be caught dead in a boy's
outfit.
"I wouldn't be seen dead in my
own bedroom," was the answer of
barb Ed Muir.
Phi Cam Marvin Thompson
would rather not be in a state
of rigor mortus (dead to you) in
anything.
His Phi Gam brother Bob Miller
comes forth with 'in a hearse."
"If I were a fellow, I wouldn't
be caught dead in dirty cords and
a sweat shirt," this from Edna
Siggins, AOPi.
Sayre Webster, Pi Phi, would
rather not be lifeless in a fellow's
arms.
Marie Benzel unaffiliated would
rather not be deceased in a gym
suit.
... or gym suit
"I wouldn't be caught dead in no
clothes," replies ATO Bob James.
Brother Phil Ford finished the
question with, "In California."
Warren Jones, barb, doesn't rel
ish the thought of being deceased
in a pair of striped shorts.
Following true female instinct
unaffiliated Alberta Hal lam says,
"I wouldn't be caught dead in
curlers and with the added touch
of cold cream on my face."

ment Pan-American expert who
came to discuss Inter-American
relations called for questions and
was asked if a student interested
in personnel administration should
request occupational deferment
The official admitted that he had
no inside knowledge on draft regu
lations but submitted that "it prob
ably is as patriotic for some to
stay in college as go into service
for a year."
Another student of current af
fairs wanted to know if the Of
fice of Education was making any
plans for the "hundreds of thou
sands" of young people now bein
trained for defense jobs "when the
defense boom deflates." He was
told that the office hoped to grad
ually assimilate defense workers
into post-emergency employmenr,
although many would probably
have to go without work for a long
time.
On Monday Chief Justice Hughes
received the students in the new
Supreme Court Building, and on
Tuesday they were guests of the
Brazilian Embassy. Later in the
week plans call for visits to the
rapidly expanding "OPM" and the
other defense agencies that hav3
mushroomed into the national
spotlight.
Approximately 150 Catholic stu
dents, delegates from colleges and

Classics group
observes Latin
week in Morrill

state-wide Latin week, the classics

Rome Compared with Now."

"it isn't easy."
Nearly suffocated.
"In the first night's show, we
darn near suffocated in that scene
where we have to blow smoke
through 'Benny's' nostrils," volun
teered Ed. 'Last night, it wasn't
so bad, and we figure that by Sat
urday night we will have gotten
pretty good," groaned the south
end.
But Benito the bull is only one
of the, or rather, two of the char
acters in "Torso del Torro" who
have given the audiences just
cause for the "best yet" comment
on the first two night's presenta
tion. In addition to Benito, there are
scads of coeds, a tap-dancing type
writing chorus, a Latin chorus
which would make the people
south of the Rio Grande blush
with envy, a pair of drunken peons,
a love-making dance team in the
form of a 200 pound athlete and
a wee bit of a gal.
Beautiful senorita.
Add to this one beautiful senor
ita and her devoted, dashing cab
allero, one glamorous girl, the
president of a tire manufacturing
concern and his handsome playboy
son, a sabotaging rubber planta
tion foreman, a toe-dancer that is
tops, and three bull -fighters whose
biggest problem is keeping track
of the bull.
Then add the Latin music writ
ten by students for the production,
with the musical score handled by
Johnnb Cox's orchestra, and you
have this year's spring show, the
best step yet taken in Nebraska
toward improving inter-hemi-sphenc
relations.
The production will run three
more nights with the curtain go
ing up at 8 o'clock.
