Students Orate on Sugar
(Female) and Sugar (Music)
In Sweet Session
Sugar, sugar, sugar. Students
today could think of nothing but
sugar. Your inquiring- reporter
vent along with the time and
cornered campus bigwigs in the
com crib. Spring is once more in
the air and our thoughts were as
jumbled as the keys on our type
writer. We asked questions as il
logical as this first paragraph.
We quizzed Max Laughlin, who
was sharing a straw in Rundins
coke. It seemed that he too had
registered for his sugar rationing
book at Bancroft gTade school.
With rapier-like speed, w-e asked.
"What's your opinion of the Ban
croft school girls?" Max rose to
the occasion and parried our in
quiry with a stroke on his own.
"Well fellows, dont you think
they're out of season? Too young,
you know."
$6 Then...
It was about time to hear from
i member of the fairer sex; so
we went over and talked to Jean
Murray.
She was sitting with Tom
rrjmmond, and this is what we
asked her. "Do you believe the
mmor that Ray Eberle is going to
quit recording?" Sweetly as sug
ar, she replied, "Yes. He's too
rweet to comply with the sugar
rationing."
We wandered down the aisles
looking for bright faces who could
five us bright answers to fill up
this space. Its pretty hard to find
intelligence coking in the Union
when it's spring- outside. One miss
finally filled the bill. "What are
you going to substitute for sug-ar
in 3'our coffee?" we asked Janet
Westover. As brightly as we could
desire, she ansewred, "I'll switch
to cocoa and get my quota of
sugar that way."
Now Seriously
Just so we could get this past
the editor, we asked a sensible
question of Polly Petty. We asked
her, "Do you think the plan of
the OPA is practicable?" Keeping
with the spirit of the thing she
answered, "The Student Founda
tion is trying to induce high school
graduates to come to the Univer
sity of Nebraska."
We went back to the office and
breamed of long fields of corn.
Do you agree?
Jap Students
Find Problem
In Job Choice
Japanese-American college
graduates always have been hand
icapped in their choice of work,
and prewar conditions in this re
gard will probably return shortly
after the peace.
This is a conclusion of H. A.
Spindt, manager of the bureau
of guidance and placement at the
University of California, from a
survey just concluded of the vo
cational experiences of Japanese
graduates.
The survey includes 184 Jap
anese who replied to a question
naire. The graduates follow a
great variety of occupations. The
following are the leading occupa
tions: Farming, 24 graduates;
medicine, 15; nurserymen, IS; den
tistry, JLS; foreign trade and mer
chandising, 12 each.
"An analysis of the replies re
ceived indicates racial difficulty in
most of the occupations listed,"
Spindt said. "The difficulties in
clude items like low comparative
income, the unwillingness of Cau
casians to offer employment, de
layed promotion, refusal of public
patronage and other problems
usual to non-Caucasian groups.
A number of nisei (American
born children of Japanese parents I
gTadutes have been forced into
lines of work other than those for
which they prepared in college, it
was found. As an example, of he
IS in the nursery business, six had
been graduated with a major in
agriculture,, five in economics or
commerce, and two in engineering.
Others in the field of agriculture
were college majors in many other
university departments.
In regard to the long-term oc
cupational problems concerned.
Spindt said: ""War feeling will
make the problem more difficult
for a short period after peace is
established, but will not materially
affect the long-term situation of
the nisei."

World Is Too
'Right Haiulish,'
Professor Says
BERKELEY, Calif. (ACP. This
largely right handed world should
make more provisions for the well
being of the left-handed minority, .
Neil W. Lamb, graduate student at
te University of California, as
serted aften an exhaustive study.
Left-handedness, Lamb stated,
is a definite physiological char
acteristic. No attempts should be made to
have left-handed persons write or
do other tasks with their tight
hands, he declared. The result may
be far less desirable psychok.gkal
conditions, such as eyestrain and
stuttering.
"Left-handedness is not inher
ently a handicap, defect or defi
ciency any more than blue eyes,
brown eyes or red hair can be
called such,' Lamb stated.
