Tuesday, April 7, 1942 DAILY . NEBRASKAN Pink M Mag, $h. Tjjj I Back to the grind after a prac tically non-existent vacation, we find the Easter bunny isn't the only creature who gets the spirit of giving around this time... Pins were certainly the order of the day. Marge Stewart, Alpha Chi beau ty, and Ed Butler, ATO, have made up their minds once m-jre and Marge is wearing the maltese cross since Saturday. .Sunday was the big day for Joyce Junge, Pi Phi, who not only took possession of Bob Ferguson's very new Delta U pin but also celebrated her nineteenth birthday... A bit un expected was the news of the transference of the Sigma Chi pin belonging to Bob Mendenhall, den tal student from Boulder, into the hands of Betty Perry, Delta Gamma. . .Long-awaited, however, was the pin-hanging of Bud John son, DU piexy, on Janet Ralston, Alpha Phi of last year and at present a student nurse at Lincoln General. . .Just to break the mo notony of so much devotion we note the on-again-very quickly eff again pin-hanging of Warren Kil lian. Phi Gam, and Jo Thurston, Chi O. That little deal has yet to be completely cleared up... Last but by no means least is the jeweled Sigma Chi cross which Art Mason bestowed on Mary Lee Stauf. Alphi Phi. . . Outcome ? One pin that still remains in the hands of its original owner is that of Sig Alph Danny Schmitt, for his months-long steady deal with Shirley McNeel, Sutherland Pi Phi, has hit the rocks and first love, Harold Fenner seems tc be in their solid right now. . .Time will tell us Who the future light of her life will be. . . Wait, wait there is one more pin to be considered, that of Bart Baker. Sig Ep, which is now proudly worn by Dorcthy Miller. Chi O. . .Not quite to the stage of releasing their pins but still new recruits on the rapidly growing list of stea-lies are Don Steele, AGR big-wig, and Bill Huffman, Beta, who have taken Janet Hag gart, Pi Phi, and Janice Goldsmith, Alpha Chi, off the list of eligibles . . .W wonder if Neil Stanley, Fhi Gam, knows of the lovely roses that reached Roberta Patterson, Alpha Chi. Easter morn from Iowa. Pretty stiff competition, methinks . . . Or Is She? And so long at last the Delts have a housemother, or at least it seems so from the frequency that Lois Scofield. Alpha Chi, has been decorating their porch lately. Could Allen Chapman be the at traction or just the Delts in gen eral... A secret love we have dis covered arising from the drama is that of Betty Lou Foster. SDT, for Bud Swartr of the Sammy house. . .Palladi an picnic Saturday nite was quite a deal we under stand with Jim Foral and Deane Dowell being veritable lives of the party. . .Sad newi is revealed con cerning Jean Osborne, Theta, and Jerry Abbenhaus, Farm House, who no longer are aeeking things th same way these days... Phi Gams are making use of Jake, the candy man, these nights as a mes senger boy with most of their little billet-doux going to the Theta house. . . Flash! On our way to press we passed a bunch of happy Kappa Sigs. Cause? They had just had a kiss from Chi O Barbara Lee. And the gals? Well, the lucky fellow passing: cigars was Walt Plummer, need we say more ? . . . . Your chance to shine before a real, honest-to-goodness paying audience will come Friday night at the Nebraska theater where plans are booming for an all Uni versity talent program. 1 you feel the urge to perform trot down and see Mr. Schnipzen at the theater. . .See ya, tomorrow...

This year 82 John Simon Gug genheim Memorial Fellowships carrying total awards of $196,000 were given to American and Ca nadian scholars and creative workers.

Navy has introduced a "V" program to build to its authorized strength of 500, 000 men. . The Navy's greatest need at the moment is ships and skilled man power. Ships to round out a mighty two-ocean fleet are on the way and bases are under construc tion from Dutch Harbor to Reyk javik; but the problem of man power remains still to be solved. Realizing that it takes almost as long to make a sailor as it takes to build a warship, the Navy has instituted a new long range program which takes full account of the fact that 'every man is a specialist in the Navy." Besides teaching more than 50 trade skills to the recruits who are streaming through its training stations, the Navy must select and train thou sands of college men who by their educitional background are already qualified for ratings and commissions. To this end, the Navy has intro duced the following seven-point "V" program with which every undergraduate should be familiar to attain a commission of ensign in the Naval Reserve. I VI. P re-Indoctrination Training. This is the latest precurement plan a plan whereby the Navy hopes to obtain 80,000 pre-mdoc-trinated trainees per year. College freshmen and shophomores be tween the ages of 17 and 19 in clusive who are of good moral character and in good physical con dition may enlist in Class V-l as apprentice seamen. After approxi mately three semesters during which they will study related Navy subjects, taught by the regular college faculty, V-l men will be given a general examination. Those ranking sufficiently high in the examination may transfer to Class V-5 or V-7 (see below J and continue their inactive status un til completion of the academic re quirements for those classes. Those whose scores on the examination are too low to warrant V-5 or V-7 training will be allowed to com plete the 4-semester indoctrination course and then be called to active duty as apprentice seamen. For further information or enlistment consult your college registrar or the nearest Navy recruiting office. F-2. IS'aval Aviation Mechanics. This is an opportunity for men between the ages of 17 and 28 in clusive with limited experience or demonstrabl; interest in internal combustion engines or metal work. Men whose eyesight bars them from flying the Navy's war birds can help keep 'em flying by enlisting in this classification at the nearest recruiting office. They will receive 26 weeks intensive training which will qualify them for petty officers' ratings as avia tion machinists and aviation met alsmiths. V-3. Naval Communications. Here is the opening for men in terested in wireless and visual signals. They must enlist as ap horse class. Elwood Bolt and Vin cint Vaughn tied for second and third.

Naval Intelligence College men of "outstanding character and unquestioned relia bility" with legal training or sten ographic ability were formerly en listed as yeomen ("seagoing sec retaries") in this classification. Quotas were filled shortly after Pearl Harbor, but may oe re opened. V-5. Most Navy men regard this classification as THE gilt-edge op portunity in the Naval Reserve.
