Daily Demons vs. Y earbooldes?
Miss A. L. "Bullet" Becker
Yearbookie "Office"
Daily Nebraskan Storeroom
Student Union Basement
Dear "Bullet:"
We, the members of the publi
cation staff you and yours so often
try to emulate, do hereby:
( 1 1 Challenge you to a football
game, the place and time to be
decided by the infamous Yelping
Yearbookies;
(2) Do hereby request that you
recall just a little of the past in
accepting this challenge.
Namely: In the first place, the
conduct of yearbook staff mem
bers in previous years has been, at
this annual grid classic, deplor
able. Take last year final score
Daily, 63; Yearbook, 2. Boy was
that a riot! Starting with a four
man team including those two
turf terrors, Peterson and Svoboda,
the Daily, without effort, was able
to overcome your -15 man team,
mostly hired, and finish the game
with three women in the line-up.
The fourth team member was Peterson.
In the second place, the famous
hatchet trophy, originally donated
thru the generosity of Daily staff
members, disappeared at half
time, when two Yearbookie pupae
were seen leaving the campus in
the general direction of that hole-in-the-wall
to the south of our of
fice. The fact that the Daily staff
has been overwhelmingly victo
rious in every athletic relation
carried on with the Cornhusker
staff, is, in itself, reason enough
for us to desire a breaking-off of
this tradition.
However, since present condi
tions would make it appear that
this is your last year on the
campus "for the duration," we are
willing to give you one more
chance to establish a reputation
which could be described in the
printed word.
Finally, it may seem to you,
"Bullet," that with "Dashing
Dave" Walcott, "I'm D. T.V Cat
lin, "Hurdle" Hoff, old "Mush
mush'' McBride, "Demon" Det
weiler, et al, that your appearance

Wilh the entire student body, both men and women, heat
edly takinjr pro arid eon sides on the question of university in
stallation of a eompulsory four-year physical education program
for women, the Daily has attempted to trace and answer the
numerous, vague rumors envading the campus.
As regards recent reports that the university intends to im
rnedi.itely adopt the four-year physical education program for
women as isVarricd on at most universities, such a proposal has
lecn made lty Miss Mabel Lee, director of the women's physical
education department for women.
This proposal is at present in the hands of the university
War Kmergency committee, whose duty it is to coordinate this
university's aims and the nation's war educational efforts.
All war action of this committee is at present in a "stale of
flux." according to Mr. J. I). Clark, dean of lniz.nl college and
c hairman of the war emergency
committee. The proposal that is
center of such campus fire is,
therefore, pending until a definite
stand holding true for all colleges
and schools is taken by the government.
"For that matter," the dean
went on to say, "probably no ac
tion will be taken upon any pro
posal involving a significant
change in university arrangements
until the government has definite
ly decided upon the program it de
sires, the colleges to put this pro
gram into effect in order to make
them the most use to the nation
in the war effort."

Students Divided
On Phys Ed Plan

BY PAT CHAMBERLIN.
To sound out student opinion on
the establishment of a four-year
compulsory physical education
program which is at the moment
before the War Emergency com
mittee in the form of a proposal,
the Daily sent out a snooper, so
cially known as an inquiring re
porter.
Men as well as women were in
cluded in this survey with the idea
that women generally interest
men, even as men interest women.
The net results of an after
noon's prowling about the grill are
herewith set forth:

Jerry Anderson, sophomore, em
phatically states: "If that's their
idea of war work, give me a plow."
What a sight that would be!
Louise Erugger, frosh, believes
that "physical education is a waste
of valuable time, because you
spend most of your time dressing
and undressing." Of course, there
is an exercise clement in dressing
and undressing . . . Gail Jennings,
another frosh, agrees right along
with Louise since "you don't learn
enough about it to make it useful."
Frosh also Dalis Davis thinks .it
builds you up, and if this war
does keep up, we will need physi
cally fit women to keep the coun
try running. (Plug for women!)

Enthusiastic Crowd Cheers Huskers
At Torchlight Rally; Holm Speaks
Despite six weeks examinations and chilly
weather, a small but enthusiastic crowd
marched faithfully doAvn the usual rally route
behind an almost forpotten Victory Bell last

Although the Victory Bell did not turn up
until ten minutes after schedule, the crowd,
yelling; to keep warm, heard Elmer Holm
promise a victory over Oklahoma Saturday.
The rally was held last night because the
team is leaving this afternoon for Norman.
Corn Cobs carried lighted torches which
shot flames up colorfully. Rally committee
members had difficulty all afternoon finding
kerosene for the flares.
