Friday, July 24, 1942 A -V I Library's Schedule Calls For Completion on Jan. 1 Since it viis i m pass ilile 1o finish on 1lio first -announced seluVlulo's time, Slophon A. McCjivthy, hoatl of the university li brary, said yeslenlay th;i1 tlio new Don L. Love Memorial Li lusty should ho completed about dan. 1, 1943, instead of late Aug-ust as originally inlcnded. Tentative plans now call for the moving' of books, docu ments and records to the new building sometime betwen Dec. 1 and the first of the year. This statement ruined all th previous hopes of students to use the new library next semester. Delay of completion of the Structure has boon caused by the difficulty in finding a full crew of workers. Defense projects have taken a gnoolly shale of Ihe avail able workmen, but Mr. McCarthy expects to have a largo enough crew to work with again within two weeks. Some delay was caused in se curing materials, but the con struction company was just ahead of the frcere-out orders and lacks no really essential materials to complete the build ing. Minnesota Trains Men-Civilian, Navy Army in Phys Ed The combination of a record at tendance at the University of Min nesota summer session and the present necessity for physical fit ness has resulted in the Gopher athletic department devoting all available equipment and talent to wards the hardening: and condi tioning of male students at the university.

Smith, gold coach, has been busy turning the Gopher plant over to the navy's electrical and aeronautical engineering students stationed on the campus where the enrollment will eventually total 1,000 gobs. Working with Ensign George Barnes of the naval unit, Smith is splicing physical training with book learning. Lowe Returns From Chicago Professor C. G. Lowe, chairman of the classics department, has re turned from Chicago, where he attended the 18th institute of the Norman Waite Harris Memorial Foundation. He was one of a group of professors invited to dis cuss the Near East in lectures and round table discussions. About Pinning ... Do Pin-mates Step Out on Each Other Why? By Mary Kierstead. Pardon me, just why do pinned people go out on each other? The serious-faced young man he was kind of cute to whom we ad dressed this inquiring question, intelligently mumbled "Hmmm huh." He mumWed a little more that sounded like "w-el-1 Ira-ram-nira-mm, I, uh-uh-uh," Oh I see, we sweetly reply and swiftly make our way to the crib where in a far corner, daintily sip ping a green liquid, were four winsome lads from the Sig Nu house. Namely Stan Maly, Paul Jones, Marly Wolff, and Neal H limes. We proceeded a bit more diplo matically this time, merely ask ing, have you ever been pinned? They had, it seems, at least Paul Jones' pin belongs to a blonde at the Gamma Phi layout when the paper went to press all was as should be and Marly Wolff tries 1 Sinfonia Holds Last Harmony Hour Monday riii Mu Sinfonia will close its summer series of harmony hours next Monday in the music room of the Union under the direction of Dieter Kober.

Wright of the junior division of Indiana Univer sity spent Monday inspecting the Nebraska junior division and its workings. At his request, confer ences were arranged with several deans and administrative officers. The junior division at Indiana is patterned after the junior division here. Indiana has gone on a fully streamlined three-semester basis and it has been found that this in creases the complexity of handling the counseling problems in the junior division, Dean Wright re ported. the steady business with Kay Det weiler now and again. It Takes All Kinds. Various and peculiar remarks issued forth at projection of our original question. For instance, Maly blurted. "Variety is the spice of life!:!" Well, Mr. Maly, what a thought. .. Jones first said that the whole thing was based on variety. Then "But if the gals think that it is their duty to go out with the army and navy then the fellows have a right to go out too." Wh-a-at a mouthful or heartful or some thin.' "A guy gets in a rut after a while," said Hilmes. It docs, of course, depend on just what kind of a rut it is we add to our selves. Janet Westover and John Kuhl man colaborated on the following.

In Ballroom Good neighbor policy will be en acted on the" Sunday night show series this Sunday at 8 p. m. when the Union presents the documen tary film, "Mexican Symphony," directed by Sergei Eisenstein, noted Russian cinedirector. Cut from some 200,000 feet of photography of Mexico, the film is developed in five clear-cut movements, including a pro logue and epilogue. Problems of modern Mexico in its relation to large land-owners, the church, illiteracy, and tradi tion are feautred along with the melange of races represented in the nation. Topics of the film are: "Mexico Marches," "Zapotec Vil lage," "Idol of Hope," "The Con- isnt around either that or they wish they weren't pinned." More truth than you know, in that re mark, readers? . Those Green Devils! Emmett Wendt,. eligible young bachelor, recited he didn't exact ly recite but then words, you know, are so illiterate "Just to make the other person jealous. Some of thtm want to get around more than other people. Person ally, I think it's a dirty deal. War is the cause of a lot of girls step ping out on the fellows. The other way, too, only no one catches on to that. Of course some of the couples just take things like that for granted." Thank you, sir. Remind the Nebraskan staff to interview you- more often if you please.

WluAk, ZCallv Dream and Opus 3, Number 2. Music companies and dealers have brought forth their own slo gan for the war "Music main tains morale." No doubt some bright student of advertising (or perhaps some music commentator by the slip of the tongue) is priding him self in this beautiful job of al teration, for it does make a fine sounding phrase. But what does it mean? Does it mean we should have military bands thunderously play ing marches to instill our soldiers and civilians with a warlike spirit, to go out and crush the enemy mercilessly for having dared in sult the national pride and honor of the United States? Or does this phrase mean that we should hear more of the pop ular bands, to dance more and be merrier so that we may for get the weighty problems and heart breaking sorrows of fight ing for our own existence? On the Other Hand. Or, again, does the slogan "Music maintains morale" mean that we should in the peace and calm of our own homes listen to the works of the masters, and due to the solemnity and seriousness of the music begin wondering about the post-war reconstruction of a shattered world, having com plete faith in the justice of the cause for which we are now fight ing? Then, too, perhaps these words mean we should take Cast in the two leads are Ro nmlo Sol1 villa as Algernon and George Blackstone as Jack.

But more probably it means all of this and more, for music not only maintains morale but is part of the basis of morale, because the song sings in the hearts of all men who are not destitute of the joy of living. Only cowards cannot sing. .. Girls Play... The Sunday Journal and Star last Sunday carried a story and picture of an all-girl orchestra led by Winn Nelson. All who saw it no doubt applauded this ambitious undertaking by a group of high school students, for indeed it is no simple job to organize aji orchestra of this nature. And more particularly, it is a difficult task to arrange the music so it will sound sweet in the ears of those who hear it. But, as it so often happens in all successful organizations of any nature, the horse or guiding light responsible is utterly forgotten. However lamentable this may be. few take the trouble to give the credit to the person who earns it. so let us take the opportunity to be an exception. The gentlemen, without whose services this orchestra would probably not have been created, is a well-known figure around (See DREAM, page 2)
