What kind of gripes are accept able? Just any kind, just any kind. For instance there is the Student Council or BMOC's. Now that is something new. No one has griped about them in so long that they have grown kind of, well you come and gripe. And then there is the Daily Ne braskan. Honestly, they would love to hear any criticisms and you can be sure they will be re ceived in the best of faith. There may be other things to gripe about, but these two are cer tainly original so think up some thing to gripe about and join the throng. Men Wanted!

A large number of male parts are open and director Paul Bogen has invited all interested men elig ible for university activities to try out. Coeds Advertise To Correspond In Honolulu (ACPi Soldiers and sailors, even in Honolulu, read the classi fied ads. five Westminister Col lege ccds have found. The girls, in an effort to keep the service men from being lonely at their Hawaiian outpost, in serted the following advertisement in a Honolulu newspaper : "Five Westminister college girls, New Wilmington, P., would like to correspond with men in the army and navy." Few of the letters were "mash" notes, most expressed their lone liness, while two sent poems, and one writer mailed a sermon on "helping the underdogs." The students, unable to answer all the letters personally, have passed them out among other co eds, who will correspond with the senders. War Retards Students' Plans for Married Life Bv Student Opinion Surveys. AUSTIN, Tex. College youth, on the threshold of active participation in adult life, is having to postpone Hs- plans for marriage. How war is taking precedence over the every-day pursuits of most Americans is being seen everywhere every day, and how it is affecting the nation's young people k perhaps the most significant of social upheavals. Opinions Change. A national sampling of student opinion surveys of America indi cates that while a year ago this month at least half of the students attending colleges and universities hoped to be married within two years after leaving school, today only one-third of them have the same expectations. Interviewing students of all ages and incomes in a proportional cross section, the surveys placed this question before hundreds of collegians: "How soon after you leave col lege do you hope to be able to be married?" Before leaving college, Men Women said. . . Within 1 Within 2 Within 3 Within 4 Within 5 Within 6 Within 7 1 13 18 9 5 6 7 1 17 20 10 9 4 5 2 14 1 17 year , years years years years years years or more 6 Depends on the war 17 Already married... 1 Don't know 17 Co-eds, it may be noted, are eager to marry sooner than men, but the hopes of all have dimin ished. Last year, for example, 22 percent more wanted to settle down within a year after gradua tion; now only 14 percent of both sexes have that hope. No Rush to Altar. That the draft created a rush to the altar, the rigures tend to indicate, is a myth, at least among collegians. In 1911 only 1 percent declared they were married. This year the figure was identical. Engagements, on the other hand, appear to be comparatively high. "Would you mind telling me if yoir are engaged to be mar ried?" interviewers asked. Men Women Are engaged, said. 7 10 Are not engaged.. 88- 84 Would not answer question 5 6 What constitutes a campus en gagement, however, is open to de bate. No doubt many fraternity men who have "pinned" a co-ed and many girls who have been "pinned" consider themselves "en gaged to be married." ROTC Officers Apply for New Assignments Change of senior ROTC officers from their present department to the quartermaster's corps, if quali fied at graduation, has been auth orized by the war department, Lieutenant Colonel Zeck, of the UN military department, has an nounced. If the student's major qualifies him for the quartermaster's corps, he will be given consideration for it upon application. This change is due to the present shortage of qualified men in this division. Lieutenant Colonel Beck also said that 20 students, 16 from the infantry and 4 from the field ar tillery, have already taken this opportunity and are now taking preliminary instruction in funda mental phases dealing especially with the quartermasters' corps. Ay res Injured In Car Crash Joyce Ayres, former Union di rector at UN, received chest in juries and bruises from an auto mobile accident last week when his car collided head on with a truck dr iven by William Gabler of Grand Island. The crash occurred on the Platte river bridge five miles south of the city. Traveling directly be hind a truck driven by Ed Lukesh of Ord, Ayres swerved to the left preparatory to passing the truck when clear of the bridge and hit Ga bier's heavily loaded transport truck coming from the opposite direction.
