After the homecoming festivity
this Saturday a new Pep Queen
- will reign over the university
campus. Janet Hemphill, Queen
of 1941, will relinquish her crown
and throne to the new queen. Who
she will be, nobody knows.
BETTY BON EBRIGHT.
Candidates competing for the
honor are all likely Queens with
vim, vigor and vitality. Betty
Bonebright, a junior, is blonde
with blue eyes, height 5 feet 2
inches and weighs only 96 pounds.
Yes, she is tiny, but that doesn't
mean "No pep." Dancing is her
hobby and that requires a man
' for ballroom dancing at least.
About men Betty isn't particular,
but blondes are nice. She is
affiliated with AOPi.
JEAN BROWNE.
Kappa Jeanie Browne is a bru
nette with blue eyes, weighs 119
;and is 5 feet 5 inches. She likes
swimming, autumn and football
games, dancing, friendly people
and kitties. She dislikes eggs and
dented fenders. When asked about
the kind of man she liked: he
must be clean looking, easy to
talk to and sincere. Jeanie is a
sophomore. It was impossible for
her to be in the picture with the
5 other candidates.
FLORA HECK.
Flora Heck, Alpha Xi Delta can
didate for Pep Queen, is only 5
feet, weighs 94 pounds, but good
. things come in small packages.
She is a brunette with brown eyes.

dent Affairs T. J. Thompson to

staffs of local draft boards.
Schedules for group meetings

Years Enrolment
Drops 12 Percent;
Still Move Men
m
Enrolment at the Ag college has
dropped about 12 percent this year.
The armed forces have taken
their toll as many upper-classmen
and potential freshmen have en
tered some branch of service.
Others have found it necessary to
remain at home so that they might
aid in the "Food for Victory cam
paign. However, despite the labor
shortage in the Nebraska rural
areas, there are more freshmen
men than women enrolled in ag
college this semester. Of the 708
students, 385 of them are men.
The coeds showed an unexpected
drop in enrolment. They too have
turned from education to work
in vital defense plants.

More Jobs Than Students
Who Want Them This Year
. . Have Incomplete Information
Student employment for the first
time in many years is more plenti
ful then are applicants for jobs,
according to a J. D. Epp in charge
of university employment.
More then half of the students
who have applied for jobs have
never given their permanent Lin
coln address, and many others
have not filed out complete class
schedules which makes it very dif
ficult to secure jobs for them, Epp
declared.
Epp who has served the univer
sity in his present capacity since
1931 declares the jobs are more
plentiful and better paid then ever
before in his experience. Wages
generally for students are up 20
to 25 percent over last year.
Many applicants for jobs this
year are very particular concern
ing the kind of work they would
do. Among the jobs not filled are
those trained as mimeograph op
erators, linotype operators and
students with experience in dry
cleaning and pressing.
Work for Board.
Most common student job is in
a dining room with payment ir
board. Other students work in re
tail stores; in hotels as bell boys,

very co-operative in helping giv

All over the country the person
who is "working his way thru
college" has a better situation then
ever before. College girls are re
ceiving as much as five and six
dollars for teaching Sunday school
in some of the large churches in
New York City, according to the
Associated Press.
Receive Dollar an Hour.
Healthy college men are also re
ceiving as much as a dollar an
hour for submitting to high alti
tude aviation experimentations in
decompresion chambers. One coed
in New York City makes $40 a
week selling railroad tickets in
Grand Central Station, in addition
to carrying full schedule in class
work.
Business houses in the big city
which formerly would hire no part
time help now are begging for stu
dents to work a few hours a day
to help replace employees who
have gone into service. Beautiful
female college students in New
