Uni Convocation Stresses
Need for Men in Air Corps
A tremendous need for qualified officers
i" the aviation nir corps reserve in both
ground and flying crews was the essence of
the convocation held in social science audi
torium last night by Major W. A. (Jteen of
the aviation air corps.
"Due to tremendous expansion of the army
air forces, a great need for qualified officers,
both irround and flying is necessary," stated
the Major. Universities of the United States
will, in a large measure, provide the reservoir
f the aviation cadets necessary to fill this
program, and therefore, it is contemplated eti -lit
in an army air force reserve of college
ncii, who will continue college training on a
delVred basis until graduation, before being
called to active service.
Such was the purpose of this most recent
invocation, enabling students to apply for a,
reserve position in the ' armed forces, upon
meeting their respective roquiromnts.

Outstanding as the slightly
dopey university student who fel
in love with the two older sisters
before finally marrying the third
was Bernard Swartz, whose
"Gida" gave extra humor to an
already hilarious comedy.
Jo Weaver added another suc
cessful role to her career as she
portrayed the seven sisters'
mother, Mrs. Gyurkovics, in a
forceful . manner. All of the sis
ters were good. Bettie Cox "Ka
tinka," Martha Ann Bengtson,
"Sari," and Carlene Hohensec,
"Ella" were quite pert in their
important roles, and Dorothy Fll
ley, Jeanne Racine and Rosemary
Owens contributed a great deal
to the atmosphere.
Men Outstanding.
Male members of the cast also
deserved much mention both for
their acting and for their bright
ening up the scene almost but not
quite overcrowded with girls.
Frank O'Neill was Colonel Radvi
any, Dale Burleigh was Michael
Sandorffy, Jack Donley played
Toni Teleki in brief appearances
and Harold Margulies gave just
the right touch to the unassum

in Grant Memorial hall with many
of the production details subject
to war-time economy.
Making thei. - wtumes from a
scrap box, club members will se
cure lighting effects wit', home
made floodlights. These unique
ideas have made the results sur
prisingly interesting, however, and
add to the originality of the re

composed by members.
T'..e public is to "'tend

Army Will Benefit.
The nation's educational program will not
be disrupted by this program and the army
air forces will benefit by having its officer
material basically trained.
Applicants enlisting as aviation cadets in
the aviation air force, when called to active
duty, will have opportunity to qualify for
coinniisions as bombardier, navigator, pilot, as
flying officers; and engineering, armament,
communications, meteorology, and photog
raphy, as ground officers.
The physical requirements for those apply
ing for ground officers' commissioners in the
avTaion air force are less rigid than physical
requirements for flying officers. Officers are
commissioned in the grade of second lieuten
ant, with future opportunity for rapid promo
tion on merit basis, upon completing their
training as aviation cadets.

No secrets no mysteries no second guessing. . . .
Simply and confidently, llip X-club yesterday announced,
the signing of Tony Pastor's band for their dance May lb' at
(lie coliseum.
At the same time with little fanfare and plenty of pulcliri
tude, names of tlie six coeds chosen as candidates for the
"Queen of Queens" title were revealed.
Chosen were Heldora Cochran, beauty queen candidate;
Hetty Marie Wait, beauty queen candidate and Nebraska
Sweetheart; Lois Drake, candidate for beauty queen; Betty
Nichols, candidate for beauty queen, '41 Prom (iirl ; Alice Me.'
Campbell, '41 beauty queen; and Virginia Ford, '41 beauty
queen and Typical Nebraska Coed.
Fun is the keynote of the party which will find gals
rector, will serve as master of
ceremonies.
In step with the Union program
of economy for this year's birth
day ball, the presentation will not
be elaborate but startlingly differ
ent, according to secretive Corn
husker editor Shirley Russel. The
names of the queens, as well as
the details of presentation, are
kept strictly to Miss Russel.
Coeds Typed.
Another stray hint from the
Cornhusker office whispers that
personality will have something to
do with the presentation. Just as
each woman was definitely typed
according to personality in the
pictures sent to John Robert Pow
ers, famous glamorizer of cover
girls who chose the final six Ne
braska queens, so will each coed's
appearance be typed.
The melodies of Omaha's Lloyd
Hunter will be offered in the ball
room before and after the beauty
queens are presented. Imported to
play for both Friday and Saturday
nights, this all-Negro band is es
pecially popular on the Nebraska
campus. The band will play for
dancing from 9 until 12 both
nights.
Featured on the Friday night
program will be a festive carnival
which will transform the second
and third floors of the Union into
a riotous fun-house.
Dr. A. W. Peterson Predicts
Rise in Land Prices in '43
By Ra-.all Pratt.
Farm income in Nebraska will
exceed that of 1929 and probably
approach that of t'.e first World
war was the prediction made for
1943 today by Dr. A. W. Peterson
of ag college. He also predicted
that land prices will probably rise
at least 25 percent over present
prices by this time next year.
Dr. Peterson, a rural economist,
further indicated that both cash
income and land prices in Ne
braska are likely to rise a larger
percent in Nebraska ...an in Iowa
or the United States. This is be
cause they are so low in relation
to Iowa and other pert 3 of the
country now, he said.
The price of grain and feed will
probably rise more than livestock
during the war, Dr. Peterson said.
This will raise the price of grain
farms and may result in the plow
ing up of some grassland.
Refers to
Referring to the pas , the eco
nomist said the price of the least
productive land in the same type
of farming area has risen about
as much as the most productive
land on a percentage basis. Mort
gages have usually been made on
a fixed percentage of sale or ap
praised price.
"As a result, mortgages on poor
land were too high in relation to
f crram u n
dressed in sweaters and fellows in
comfortable suits. The gals should
also wear skirts and high heels,
according to the lcttcrmen.
After luncheon yesterday noon
when the six candidates dined
with the N-club boys, Bill Smutz,
dance chairman commented, "No
kiddin', there was really some
thing going on when those gals
ate dinner with us this noon. Sort
of an atmosphere that you can't
explain. They are really attrac
tive to say the least."
Tickets go on sale today at
$1.50 per couple. The N-club is
planning an extensive campaign to
get student attention toward the
band which comes to Lincoln with
a national reputation for good
music.
Cadets End
First Day
Of Inspection
First day of inspection of the
cadt corps has been completed,
and favorable comment was re
ceived from the inspecting officers,
according to the military depart
ment. The inspection will continue to
day according to schedule, an
nounced Colonel C. A. Thuis. All
students in the advanced and basic
courses of ROTC will be excused
this afternoon from 3 to 6 to par
ticipate in the parade and in
spection of the brigade.
First call for assembly will be
promptly at three p. m. All cadets
must report for the parade to
their respective units, was the
official notice of the military de
partment. the debt paying capacity of the
land, and when farm income fell
the foreclosures were the worst
on such land," he said. "Lending
agencies should avoid competitive
bidding on land of this character
both for their own welfare and
that of the farmer. It is likely
that individuals and some lending
agencies will disregard or do not
know past history and that the
worst mistakes will again be made
on the relatively poor land in an
area."
Contest Scheduled.
The annual all-college meat?
judging contest is marked down
in the schedule book for May 8
to 9.
The contest on May 8 is open
