Note anwrnpany li iff the flipping asked If we "have any defense of student ue of ears." College students arc still riding around in ears. And plenty of them aren't old piles of junk. There are still big ears on college tarn puses in which students will still ride to and from fraternity houses, go to out-of-town dances, and drive home for week-ends. What's the matter with that picture? Well, just this: All over the country there are men with families whose livelihood depends on their bat ing an automobile with tires. When Iheir cars and their tiros are gone their means of earning a living will be gone, too. Cars are no luxury to them. So it must make them wonder a little just what goes on when they see a nice big ear piled full of students who are riding around just for the fun of it. Wouldn't it be a good idea if college presi dent would call Iheir students togclher and ask them to start walking or riding bicycles, and saving both automobiles arid tires fax some purpose more important at least in war times than having fun? Of all Ihe groups in the country who could get along without cars college students cer tainly should lead the list. They're young and plenty able to walk to and from classes. And there is always enough going on in a college town so lhat they don't have to leave it to find amusement. There ought to be enough patriotism among students to make them look down their noses at the student who is still driving a car, when his own two legs could take him every where he has to go. Dear "Dad" We have none. QommwL (Sidkihh By Marsa Lee Civin. Students were allowed only one week va cation instead of the usual two at Christmas, according to an action of the university sen ate in 1 fl 1 7. The question of a spring recess was still in doubt but the general impression was that it would at least be shortened. Steps were taken to arrange dates so that school could be dismissed early to let men get back to the farms to help with the spring crop. Professor M. M. Fogg of the department of rhetoric had a war bulletin board to post communications from the men in the service. Seventeen hundred surgical dressings were sent from the university Red Cross office to Ked Cross headquarters from whence they will be sent to France. A bulletin from Chancellor Avery to faculty and other employees follows: "In accordance with the request of the fed eral government through Dr. Garfield, fuel, commissioner, efforts must be made to econo mize as much as possible in the university. "It is hoped professors will work as much as possible outside of business and teaching hours at home in order that coal for heating purposes be saved' By Marjorie May jj "The Case of the Missing Orchid" is still being enacted at the University of Ohio law school. Future lawyers have turned detectives in an attempt to solve the mystery of the missing orchid, the only corsage at their annual formal dance. In harmony with the university policy of cut ting expenses for social events during the war, the law students voted to deny themselves the privilege of presenting their partners with corsages. How ever, Uiey decided to have one orchid to be worn by each lady for a period of ten minutes during the dance. The orchid was carefully preserved in an oblong cellophane box. The transfer of flowers at the end of scheduled intervals was made possible by the use of hemp cord attached to a box and the placing of the cord over the young lady's shoulders. Said flower of beauty was to be awarded to the winner of the "little Jug" contest at midnight but at 11:40 said article promptly disappeared. Mnvrw 1hp Tlf'Vf vr-ria rifro iuunu r.f tVir. "iVii-.

Hut Appears Tonight So it's happened again. The Awgwan will NOT appear as scheduled -again. This time there was the usual race to the presses, something which should never be in publishing any publication, and then the presses wouldn't print it. Not that it isn't any good, for this is another case of "what's good is worth waiting for," but this time the printer was the cog In the machine (a fine excuse!).

Henry Erck will speak on symb s taken from the passion history as a basif of his sermon "The Crowing Co-jJt" as all politicians are. he just didn't have time to print the col lege humor magazine. However, Awgwan pursuaded him to take a little time off, get his hands out of that cramped po sition and do a little work. So, he did, and pushed the little button to start the presses and not a thing happened, not a single thing. Excuse number 2: the presses were broken. Awgwan got their handy-man out, Melvin Tannen baum, and fixed the thing. Awgwan promises, again, that Awgwan will be on the stands tonight. Foundation . .

Listing Grievances . . . Students Strike Demanding Omaha U President Resign Omaha university students have called a strike demanding the resignation of university presidtrt Rowland Haynes. The strike is be ing lead by student leaders who called three mass meetings Mon day. A mimeographed manifesto listed these grievances: 1. "He has been consistently unfair In his dealings with the faculty," 2. "His financial policies hurt the Bookstore . . . (Continued from Tage 1.) Comstock read, "It is our belief that if the legislature had in tended to include the state of Nebraska, its agencies and gov ernment subdivisions within the purview of this, (the fair trade) act, they would have co expressly stated in the act, "We find no place where the state, its agencies or subdivisions is expressly included in the act, and further find no provision of the act which we believe Includes the state, its agencies or govern mental subdivisions, by Implication." university, the students, the fac ulty and the taxpayer," 3. "He has tried to exert control over the board of regents thru his partial and unfair reports of the univer sity's activities." Apparently the spark which set off the active movement to ask for his resignation was the univer se's decision to discontinue North Central conference athletic f:ontests. The manifesto was signed by the student council, "O" club, wopen's athletic asosciation, "Feathers" (pep club), independ ents, inter-fraternity council, inter-sorority council, "Gateway" (student newspaper), and Toma hawk (year book).
