Applications Tomorrow
The Aviation Air Force board will again meet
here tomorrow morning at 8:30 a. m. to file all ap
plications for the new aviation air force reserve.
The board, which held a convocation here two
weeks ago is coming back to enlist college male
students for the aviation force, after they have
completed their normal college training. Reason for
the two week interval was to allow applicants to
procure the necessary identification data required
for entrance into the forces.
Main objective of this new reserve is to ob
tain a very large number of aviation cadets which
must be trained every year until the war is brought
to a successful conclusion, and at the same time
cause the least possible disruption in the nation's
educational program.
Thruout the United States 31 special air force
boards, consisting of one senior and one jun
ior air force officer each, have been appointed for
the purpose of visting 151 selected colleges and uni
versities during the period stated in order to pro
mote the enlistment in those communities of men
between the ages of 18 to 26 in the Air Force En
listed Reserve. Students enlisting in the reserve
will not have to drop their ROTC training, and
may continue with the' advanced course in colabora
tion with the Air Force Enlisted Reserve.
Students registered in any class, in the univer
sity excepting graduating seniors, may apply for
the course. Applications may still be had all day
today if called for at the junior division office in
University hall.

. P. Peterson Stresses
Iconomy in War Lecfinoire
Emphasizing the fact that the
basic factors involved in the peace
following this war will be eco
nomic, C. Petrus Peterson, Lin
coln attorney and member of sev
eral legislatures, yesterday spoke
on "Preparedness for Peace" at
the last of the War Lecture Series
this year in the Union ballroom.
"This war," Peterson assertd,
"is a contest between North
American economy, including the
United States, Canada and Rus
sia on one side, and Germany and
what she can get from the con
quered countries on the other."
In the new world it will be the
survival of those who are capable
of adjusting themselves to the en
vironment changes. France was
one nation which was r.ot able to
do this, and they have failed.
U. S. Failed Following War.
Our nation, the United States,
has flirted little with scarcity, the
lecturer continued. We failed mis
erably during the decades-between
the two wars to utilize our nat
ural resources and industrial ca
pacity. "A hungry people," he said,
"have never been peaceful."
But even so it is the United
States to whom the world will
look for leadership in the new
peace. And then we will need to
rebuild a nation and rebuild a
world. With a problem of deciding
about the access to raw materials
commerce of the world at large
and improvement of relationships
it will require great expenditures
of the Americans to secure world
peace, but it would require even
more to fight a war. World peace
requires the achievement of all
the economic world powers in
eluding the ability of Germany to

Queen of Queens Nominee
Number Four
"Vivacious Beldora Cochran,
five foot three and three-quarters
inches, blue eyes and well, it really
is red hair, is contestant number
four for the title of Queen of
Queens.
Miss Cochran
has. made her
self famous as
a part of the Pi
Phi trio and as
a songstress by
herself, having
a major part in
"East Lynn"
here and sing
ing over the
radio each
week while at
Stephens.
Lincoln Journal scnooi sne
is a fine arts major in teachers
college and plans to teach school
after graduation. She attended
Stephens and KU before coming
to Nebraska.
Ambition: To get a pilot's li
cense. She has done quite a bit
of flying and likes it well enough
to incornornte it in her birr nmbi-
I tion. Besides flying she likes riding
and dancing. She doesn't like pic
nics "really, I'd lather go soma
place."
Favorite color: Red. And her
wardrobe is full of red hats, shoes
and dresses. Miss Cochran does
not have many sweaters and.
skirts, but prefers dressy dresses
and big, off-the face hats.
The only red-head in the group
of contestants has been a state
beauty queen while in high school,
candidate for beauty queen and for
interfraternity sweetheart at NU.
In the meantime she has kept up
an 83 average and has dated "con
siderably." At present writing she is not
going steady. But she has had a
Sig Alph pin from Kentucky and a
Sigma Nu pin from Columbia.
Asked why she doesn't cons' r
going steady she said "I just, love
men in general."
A few of her idiosyncrasies are
that she chooses Melvyn DougUis
her favorite movie man, loves fur
coats, likes her hair drawn back
and when she laughs she almost
closes her eyes.
