So that men students and faculty members may be more
physically fit for defense service, Major L. M. Jones and
Dr. R. G. Clapp of the athletic and physical education depart
ments urge more active participation in the sports and physi
cal education programs offered by the university.
Regular and systematic participation, in some form of
physical exercise or recreation is the quickest and best method
of increasing physical efficpnry," said the statement by Jones
and Clapp. "Therefore, pnfeaTj&ucation facilitk?Jnhding

"Men students and faculty members niay. join our regular
classes or supervised ativkiedr and additional classes will be
arranged as may be necessary. Facilities are also Offered for op
tional, unsupervised exercise.
seum men's locker room will be
provided from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m.
daily Mondays thru Fridays and
from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Saturdays.
"High physical efficiency is as
important in peace as in war altho
unfortunately it is forgotten by
most people in time of peace," de
clared Dr. Clapp. "Luckily we can
improve to a decided degree in a
relatively short time, and in this
struggle to preserve democracy
every man and woman has some
useful work to perform. Whether
students and faculty of the uni
versity go into the army, navy, air
corps, defense industries, or some
other defense service, the higher
their physical I. Q., the better that
service will be."
Daily Plans
Class to Train
Ad Solicitors
Students interested in filing for
advertising solicitors for the Daily
Nebraskan next semester may do
so in the business office of the
Nebraskan today, according to Ben
Novicoff, business manager.
Novicoff will conduct a class
to train solicitors for next semes
ter and those attending the class
will be paid the usual commission
on advertising they obtain. Ac
cording to Novicoff, this is an un
usual opportunity for solicitors.
There are many good accounts left
open and besides the usual com
mission, the high salesmen each
month will be paid a bonus.
"This is a good way to earn
spending money and at the same
time train for a position on the
Daily Nebraskan staff, Novicoff
added.

Whfl American bombers were destroying a
score of Jap ..planes in the Philippines, Japanese
forces were fighting like fanatics, burling them
selves into the teeth of British artillery and machine
gun fire from the land and from overhead in a
battle which might determine the fate of north
western Malaya.
'"And as the white bird, wearily and heavily

another dove: for God is not perpetual wrath, but
everlasting love."
In retaliation at the blow she received, the U. S.
according to military strategists, has begun a block
ade of Japan. The Japanese people must pay for
the actions of their leaders, for food and supplier
will be running low.

But more than this, this recent
Cosmopolitian advertisement for

say that Hawaii is "one place left
where hoononea, 'without care,'
preserves its full meaning." (Ho
onanea is better translated as
hooey now.)
Oonsumate irony arises from
reading lines such as: "Hawaii's
warm-heartedness will greet you
in these peaceful isles and the
peaceful voyage to them."
It could be that Hawaiian hearts
have proved too coordial even the
