T Are You

Want a Date? So Do The
By
There was a time so I heard
when buys knew what kind of
a gal they wanted but them days
have gone forever if uta Unties
gathered by your Inquiring Re
porter are of any worth. (Some
goons believe the Rag now and
again and that's no bull.) To re
turn to the question of the mo
ment, "Just what kind of a date
do you like and what do you like
to do on dates?"
Dorothy Jean Browne, petite
secretary to Bill Marsh and
summer school student ai were
the other interviewees an
swered, "Oh the usual thing. . .

QimEiey
Cornhuslcers
Out Today
Or Are They
The Cornhuskers are out to
day? Nobody knows for certain, not
even the editor, Shirley Russel.
The yearbooks are supposed to
be here this morning, according
to the latest word received, in
fact, they were supposed to
reach the Union yesterday aft
ernoon, but transportation con
ditions seem to have caused dif
ficulty. Because the books are being
shipped by truck from Dixon, 111.,
where they were printed, it is dif
ficult to ascertain whether the
latest delay is due to car trouble
or a short stopover in Omaha or
someplace else.
Anyway, the Cornhuskers are
on their way and will be here
sooner well, sooner. When they
do arrive, and that should be
today, posters announcing it
will be posted on the corner in
front of the Union at 14th and
R, inside the Union, and in front
of the Cornhusker office.
Classes Meet
On Saturday
Regular sgchool will be held to
morrow, Saturday, it was an
nounced early this week by the
dean's office, and all classes will
convene as they do on week days.
This extra day of school is being
held to make up for the Fourth of
July vacation to start on Friday
July 3-
ballroom, Wilde's play will come
two weeks after the theater's first
production, "Outward Bound,"
which will be given July 11.
"The Importance of Being Earn
est" is an extremely clever play
written by Britisher Oscar Wilde
about the British upper crust. It
will be presented it a stylized
manner, typical of English society.
Rehearsals for both plays are
being carried on during the ext
weeks, and several days of next
week will be devoted to mastering
the British accent for "The Im
portance." Grades for Last

The Rest?

Our next victim, Myron
Thompson, teacher from Hebron,
Neb., was peacefully lounging
in the lounge. He looked slight
ly embarrassed at he muttered
the fact that he was all ready
nabbed and that his idea of a
pood date was saying goo-goo
and holding hands with his ten
weeks old daughter, Sylvia Joan.
More power to you, we think.
Here is one man who knows
what he wants.
Clamorous Margaret Weld likes
her men "re-ally tall with nice big

Dream and
Opus 1, Number 3.
Some people may be under the
impression that theHe high school
students are a group of extraordi
nary individuals who have delved
deeply into the rich rewards of
great music Oddly enough a good
majority of them have khown
preference for swing music, even
while studying here, and many
can't see iiach or Brahms at all.
One cannot deny swing mu
sic's place in American culture,
but when students pay to study
and learn the finer elementt in
music it does strike one at
rather peculiar that swing still
holds top billing.
At the same time, however, one
cannot deny that theme high school
students, even though they still
think swing's the thing, are re
ceiving invaluable training that
cannot be estimated in dollars and
tierine. The proper perspective will
come with age.
on July 1, when Marsh leaves
for service.
Office manager for two years,
Sinkey has been a member of the
Union staff since the building1 was
built. He was graduated from the
college of business administration
last June.
Miss Lahr has been social di
rector of the Union building
since the fall of 1939. In the
spring of that year she was
graduated from the university
as a Mortar Board and a mem
ber of Phi Beta Kappa. Her po
sition of assistant director is
one newly created by the board.
In making the announcement,
DuTeau quoted Dr. W. H. Morton,
president of the board, as saying
that "Mr. Sinkey has been a valu
able member of the staff, and
Miss Lahr has developed a re
markable social program for the
building."
Marsh was director of the
building for almost one year be
ginning July 6 of last summer.
He succeeded Joyce Ay res.
Meeting last week to appoint
the new director, the board of
manager also voted to allow the
Student Foundation group to use
the office vacated by the Awgwan,
campus humor magazine, which
was abolished for the dduration of
the war by the board of regents.
Both Sinkey and Miss Lahr
will handle the work they have
done previously along with their
new activities, and no new so
cial director will be appointed.
Union Review
To Feature
French Book
"Right to Arras," by the
French pilot-author, Antoine de
Saint-Exupery. will be reviewed
by Patricia Lahr next Thursday
at 5 p. m. in the Union Book
Nook.
Saint-Exupery was a recon
naissance pilot in the French
army during the collapse of
the French military strategy in
1940, and his book is an account
of one of his trips over German
held territory amplified by his
own personal recollections and
ideas.
The French suthor nas written
other books on flying, "Night
Mail," and "Wind, Sand, and
Stars," and is one of the outstand
ing contemporary French writers
of the present day.
Variations
Some have reached that stage
now. Among them is Lorraine
Woita, who was charged with
the responsibility of seeing that
the news of the high school stu
dents was gathered and edited.
She reports as follows:
"All state music students have
finished their second week of mu
sic and fun, and it seems Like only
yesterday that we all came with
bag and baggage ready for a va
cation with music.
"During these short weeks we
have enjoyed a wei'-planned
recreation including p'ng-pong,
tennis, swimming and soft ball.
Finals in the boys' ping pong
tourney will be played soon,
with Lee Kjielson and Jim Han
son battling for the champion
ship. 'The Alpha Chi girls beat the
