Which statement proves quite conclusively that Nebraskan Columnist Bob McNutt made a slight mistake, in his column on "women" appearing in yesterday's Daily. Not that McNutt doesn't know that women are men's equals; he probably just had to have an end ing for his article. Union Advances Admission Price On Friday Dances "Hank" Mattison will play Fri day night at the first big Union week-end dance of the year. An orchestra shortage has made it impossible to hold such a dance before this year. Eccause of the limited budget of the Union and the raised scale prices of the musicians union, the previously charged admission price of 15c has been raised to 25c per per son this year. .

GENERAL HENNINGER speaks at convocation. 14 Pay BY BOB MILLER. All nu'ii students in tlio university, ilcsirinjr to lo so. will be- given a two weeks le.ivo short iijre on Nebraska defense near future. This announcement came as the result of a nieetiii"- of uni versity officials with Dean T. J. Thompson as chairman to at tempt in the alleviation of a "grave manpower shortage thru out the state." A voluntary plan, the idea carries with it the opportunity for any male student regularly enrolled in school to obtain a two weeks leave to take a job on any of the defense projects that are so desperately in need of workers and on the farms wlue the situation is equally as bad. Thompson Guides. Dean Thompson, under whose guidance the plan was formulated, called a meeting of all deans of colleges plus the 1 M. S. & T. of the HOTC corps to explain the situation eon fronting management in this state. As the set-up now stands, those interested will contact Thompson's office and a check-up will be made to see if by dropping out of school for the two week period it would jeop- i ardize the student's academic NIA Council Meets Today In Union Membership Announced; Barb Governing Group To Outline Activities N.I.A. council members will meet to discuss activities for the rest of the year Wednesday at 7:30 in 307 of the Union.

To impress the student body of the seriousness of this lack of la bor, Thompson showed a plea for 500 men ilmediately on a federal project in the state and pointed out that there is more defense work on satellite air bases in the state that are literally "crying for work ers." He wished to point out also the serious conditions facing the farm er who with one of the best corn crops in the last decade may be forced to allow the corn to lay thru the winter before it can be husked. Crops Suffer. ' "Around Scottsbluff the labor shortage is taking a heavy toll on crops that are ready to be har vested." the dean of student af fairs explained.
