A Full House,
Kings and Queens
The university is faced with a horrible
(lilcmna. If things continue as they are now,
there won't be a single solitary, common ordi
nary student left to walk inconspicuously be
tween Sosh and Andrews. All of the cabbages
will be kings.
It wasn't so long ago that when a girl was
chosen to be Honorary Colonel or Prom Clirl
the honor meant something and the crowd
bowed to its royalty. Now, practically every
one is a member of the Koyal Order of Ne
braska. There is no one left to curtesy. No
one left to pay homage. No one remains to ac
cept the favors of our "high" almighties.
Just think back since the start of school.
How many kings and queens, BDli's, BMOC's,
1'rom Girls, Ball liirls, Pledge queens, and
Heart Heaters will have been chosen by the
time the second semester closes. There are so
many honored students that even those who are
within that golden rim can't remember who
their compatriots are.
It all started when various committees for
Bocial events on the campus decided that if
they had somebody elected to something it
would provide an added attraction for the
party and thus increase the revenues which
had been slowly decreasing over a period of
years. The idea worked. Parties began to be fi
nancial successes because of the addejl pub
licity. Then the novelty of the thing wore off,
so the committee members got another bright
idea. They had their royal order elected at the
door the night of the party. Most of the sorori
ties and fraternities and even the barbs were
supporting their own candidates. To be able
to insure election, all the backers had to attend
the social functions.
The novelty of this brainstorm has worn
off again. One tree in the middle of the desert
will attract attention. One tree in the middle
of a forest is bound to be neglected. Evidently,
the various organizations can't seem to realize
this for instead of reducing the number of
kings, queens, jacks, or what have you, they
have doubled and even trebled the member
ship in the Royal Order of Nebraska.
Frankly, v.e were waiting for the Sopho
more cabinet to announce that, it would open
nominations for the girl most representative of
the sophomore class, thus putting the Mibs
touch on some bit of collegiate femininity. The
Sophomore Council held its party in the Tnion
yesterday afternoon. From 4:'J0 to (i:(M) p. in.
Editor, Daily Nebraskan
Dear Mr. Svoboda:
During the past few days, Mr. Jim Selzer
and myself have been subjected to such relent
less questioning that we have decided to make
a clean breast of everything well, almost.
We have been confronted with so many
wild rumors about which band is going to play
at the Junior-Senior Prom that we decided we
should make an effort to keep all campus rumor-mongers
from being absolute liars: we are
going to give you a list of the last 15 orches
tras which were being considered as possibili
ties. This list will cover all those orchestras
which wc have been told arc going to play the
Prom.
You may treat this list as public informa
tion. We guarantee that the name of the or
chestra that is going to play the Prom is in this
list. And as the list is reduced well, you can
draw your own conclusions.
I sincerely hope that this will serve to save
Mr. Selzer from some of the beatings he has
recently been administered. The list follows:
Philadelphia Philharmonic.

Rv.iinps are damrerous. Although it is nice to see your name
above the masterpiece (?) that you have pounded out, criticism which
may develop and which, of course, is directed lowara ine wruer, is
often disconcerting. The by-line on the story arjoui bmia, ana
hmr.r'9 which Buzz Dalton. who does smoke a lot of cigarettes and
who does not do a lot of studying, objected to resulted in a lot of rib
bing for this writer. But we're willing to take the ribbing ir you
whether you get angry or happy read this column.
We went to a faction meeting Wednesday night at the sugges
tion of letter-writer Dalton, and we received some justification In writ
ing an obituary for campus BMOCs. Although no hot chocolate was
served, discussion seemed to indicate that politics aren't as interest
ing as last year when minus ballot flushers and ident card punchers-there
were at least two parties, and Barb opposition to the
greek faction.
Speaking of the barb faction, Bill Dafoe was down to see us
Wednesday. Just out of the hospital after an automobile accident, Da-
toe said that he would have written us a letter too, if he had thought
that he was a BMOC, but since he didn't qualify even lor me no
capital status he didn't write.
What a Boy Was 'Big Boy.'
In addition to the names that Dalton provided Dafoe added the
name of "Big Boy" Williams. "Big Boy," it seems, is about the only
unaffiliated student who ever had his finger in absolutely everything..
Dafoe was as disappointed that we didn't include him among our list
of BMOC's as was Buzz perturbed over the elimination of his fa
vorites. A Council member, politician and big activity man made the best
comment we've heard in a long time. "It used to be that a fellow
could come to college poor, become a BMOC, and leave college a rich
man. Nowadays, everybody whether they are poor or rich when they
come to college leave school a soldier."
UN Trains ROTC Officers
To Take Care of 'Johnny'
Johnny Jones' draft number is
up! But mother won't have to
worry about his being cold or go
ing hungry while he is away. The
army has made special provisions
for Johnny in the Quartermasters
corps.
The University of Nebraska has
now undertaken to do its part in
supplying the trained officers for
this vital branch of the service.
Twenty Cornhusker ROTC seniors
are now learning to deliver the
goods to Johnny and his buddies.
Distribute Supplies.
Essentially the quartermaster
corps performs the service of sup
ply for all the other arms and
services. In its depots thruout the
country, large quantities of war
supplies are amassed and stored
awaiting shipment to distribution
points nearer the front.
Feeding, clothing and trans
porting Johnny are not the only
functions of the quartermaster
corps. Of all the branches of
service, the quartermaster has the
most diversified mission.
The quartermaster officer has
to be Bomewhat of a transporta
tion engineer, automotive me
chanics expert, and a storekeep
er. If Johnny's shoes wear out,
who is there to supply him with
a new pair? If Johnny eats beans
six times a week and twice on
Sunday, who is there to take the
blame? If Johnny's jeep breaks
down, who is there to repair it for
him?
The very ground that Johnny
walks on in his morning drill, is
procured through the quartermas
ter! In addition, the maintenance
of all utilities for the army is
charged to the quartermaster
corps.

Rosborough said.
A collection crew is now being
organized which will collect the
books on March 7. Students with
cars are needed for the crew and
arc asked to contact Shirley Heldt
at the Alpha Phi house.
All affiliated houses will be can
vassed, and the committee will
pick up books of unaffiliated stu
dents who have 20 or more books
to contribute.
Bob Schlater, managing editor
of the Daily Nebraskan was named
to fill the vacancy left in the com
mittee by the resignation of Paul
Svoboda, and $132.84, money made
by the "High jinks" variety show,
was officially turned over to the
