Morrill hall is a great and won

and wide but just what the h
would you do if you were to be
J marooned within its spacious wans
i for a month? Leonard Dunker,
magnificent mighty one, calmly

just ruin my morals." And my
f rans if to be locked up in Morrill
hall would corrupt the moralsaof
Dunker, what would it do to you?
To find out the glorious truth,
we approached one star-lit night
a certain Mr. Barney Cavitt, a
senior in dentistry and a charm
ing young gent at that. What
would you take with you we
ask him. "My wife," he instant
ly snap out. No harm done, we
mutter, we just thought we
would ask. Barney counts on
just prowling and browsing for
a while and then with his own
little equipment, he is going to
put all of the elephants' tusks
in order. All very commendable
we think and a delightful way
to 6pend a month, maybe even
two months.

Classes Meet
Hainan-hour
Later in Fall
Approved at a meeting of the
administrative council of the uni
versity this week, classes at UN
will start at 8:30 a. m. instead
of 8 next fall.
The new schedule was recom
mended for the first semester of
the coming school year, and it
will mean that all classes will
begin 30 minutes later than has
been customary. Morning classes
will run till 12:20 p. m. and
afternoon classes will take up
at 1:30 Instead of at 1 o'clock.
The administrative council acted
upon a recommendation by a spe
cial committee named by Chan
cellor C. S. Boucher to study
schedule changes that would help
alleviate the rush hour problem
of bus and street car services.
Headed by Dean C. H. Old
father, the committee consulted
Lincoln Chamber of Commerce
officials and others before sug
gesting the change in class
schedule.
No Kidding-
The Yearbook
Is Finally Out
To the amazement of the hun
dreds of students who purchased
their yearbooks way back last
year sometime, the Cornhusker fi
nally came out, unexpectedly pre
senting itself on Monday Monday
at 1 p. m. to be exact two days
after the supposedly final dead
line.
Containing 378 pages, the
book presented its 13 different
sections in the promised "six de
licious colors," and the makeup
showed something new in the
way of arrangement. Photo
graphs and writeups presented
the life of a Cornhusker in a
very interesting, fashion. It
showed, as the introduction says:

seemed to most students another

book review when Patricia Lahr,
assistant director of the Union,
presents the review today at 5
p. m. in the Union book nook.

Wright and a posthumous publi

Pennsylvania, Wright left some
5,000 hand-written pages for the
novel about a never-never land, a
sub-continent similar to Australia,
where the civilization is still in a
semi-feudal state.

itions
there is bound to be many who
feel similarly about music.
Coudn't the university do
something? How about the uni
versity orchestra? How about
the music room at the Union?
The university has the facilities
and the talent not only to fur
nish good music but other enter
tainment as well. These soldiers
deserve much more than has
been given them.
True, much has been done to
make the soldiers' sojourn here a
happy one, but much more can and
should be done. There are many
soldiers wandering the streets
wondering what to do. Some are
pathetically in need of a tocsin so
that they might feel that the peo
ple for whom they are sacrificing
their whole lives and energies,
their dreams of a happy, peaceful
normal life, and, no doubt, in
some cases, their lives are worth
it.
They're Bored.
The other evening when I was
leaving the Union two of them
stopped me and asked, very
apologetically, if there was any
thing going on in the building.
After showing them around the
building, I left them in the ball
room at the square dance. I was
impressed by their reluctance
to impose on anyone and by
their obvious need for doing
something.
There is more good in giving
one cheerie word to a downcast
soldier than in having never
missed a church service in ten
years. It is not a. question of
whether the soldiers are worthy
of us the question is: are we
proving worthy of them. .Many
people see a few soldiers not play
ing the part of perfect gentlemen
and immediately brand the whole
lot as bad.
