The Nebraska Blueprint, offi
cial publication of the engineering
college on this campus, made its
first appearance or me year Wed
nesday. Harold K. Scholz is editor.
In the first issue the annual en
gineer's Inspection tour made in
April was described by R. Chester
Feber, jr., who tells of the experi
ences in Chicago, Milwaukee, and
Gary.
Because the national defense
has made many aspects of the
work of the engineers uncertain,
A. L. Turner, now connected with
the Northwestern Bell Telephone
Co., asks the future engineers to
use their best efforts to combat
this problem in his article, "The
Challenge to Engineers."
The new field of industrial gas
opened to engineers is outlined in
an article by D. D. Williams, em

Perl Two for British Relief
By George Abbott.
Do you know that there are
58.804 stiihes in a pair of scabeet
stockings ?
While making a scratch poll of
the number of university women
knitting for the British War Re
lief Society, a Daily Ncbraskan
reporter discovered that, altho no
stocking have been completed to
date, the first pair will contain
approximately 60,000 stiches.
The knitting program, which
began ten days ago under the
sponsorship of the university's
national defense committee, now
lists 50 women doing work for the
society. The majority of those
taking part chose the simpler pro
jects as their first pieces, but the
recipes" specified by the BRWS,
along with the sample pieces,
greatly aid the workers.

MIT Curriculum
Includes Unusual
Defense Courses
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (ACP)
Massachuetts Institute of Technol
ogy now resembles a branch of
the government's defense forces
more than it does a private insti
tution of learning.
In his annual report to the alum
ni. Kail T. Compton, president,
told of current activities that are
making MIT of "vital importance
as a great national resource."
Nearly 100 members of the
teaching staff are working for the
government on advisory or operat

with the navy to improvement in
cultural relations with South

The institute is offering inten

Compton explained that these are

tonstruction, naval engineering,
meteorology and aeronautical en
gineering which have been made
available to army and navy men
for years.
Largest of the institute's activi
ties in the defense field is its re
search program. Compton said
more than 70 individual projects
are under way at MIT and that
the research will cost at least $2,
000,000 this year.

Simple hypochromic anemia has
moved into the best of circles and
is no respector of persons. Dr.
Ruth Levcrton of the university
college of agriculture told the
American Dietetic association at
their annual meeting this week in
St. Louis.
"From the tenements to Park
avenue, it has placed if trade
ranging in activity from critical
prostration to animated bridge
table chit-chat," said Dr. Lever
ton. "It has not brought to science
and the medical profession the
spectular challenge and glamour
of pernicious anemia but to the
individual patient it has brought
debility, discouragement and ex
pense." Research in nutrition at the
university, she related, has cen
tered on the general nutritional
status of college women as re
lated to their dietary habits. Spe
cial attention has been directed
toward iron metabolism and blood
studies.

many respects than from a diet
low in iron.
Altogether 250 college girls have
been studied to determine the ef
fect of the diet of hemoglobin lev
els or incidence of anemia. It has
been found that it is more im
portant to place emphasis upon
obtaining diets rich in proiein,
calcium, and vitamins rather than
in thinking about iron alone. These

"Therefore," concluded Dr. Le

Reporter Snoops Backstage f
To Find Paint-Covered Coeds
By Mary Aileen Cochran.
Paint besmeared girls wielding
large brushes and slapping paint
on huge frames of white canvas
are one of the first of the amaz
ing sights one sees behind the
scenes at the University Theater.
Surprising as it seems, these coeds,
members of the stagecraft classes
and new at this large scale art of
painting, are converting blank
drops into picturesque scenes for
the coming play: "East Lynne."
Max Whittaker, head cheer
leader, has dropped his megaphone
to stir up paint. He's working on
what will eventually be an inte
rior scene for a drawing room of
the Gay Nineties period.
A coed is busy pressing pants
guady-checked pants for the hero
of the melodrama. Bits of ruffles
are lying around, and the workers
are adding the last touches on the
costumes they make themselves.
A note of sophistication is struck
as one spots the lorenette Mabel
Jean Schmer is struggling with.
Incongruity sneaks in this thoro
oughly unwarlike scene when he
super-snoop learns that students
are even making the frill umbrel

Because of the present interna
tional conditions it's now impos
sible to buy these umbrellas,
which are of the familiar, but now.
