AMES, la, Dec. 18 Things
Just keep piling up on Hugo Oto
palik, Iowa State wrestling coach.
A year ago he had 10 fine fresh
man prospect to bolster his 7 re
turning lettermen. Today he has
only two lettermen left of that
original squad of 17 men.
Nine freshmen are in the armed
services and the tenth, Russell
Helms, broke his ankle ice skating
to remove himself from the squad.
George Cast, undefeated 175
pounder, who ia headed into the
army next month withdrew from
school yesterday. Other lettermen
losses included Gene Fwoldson,
Les Landmesser. both to the
army; Roy Rcppert, who had an
ankle smashed under a falling
horse, and probably Jim Rhodes.
Rhodes is still in school but is con
centrating on his studies in veter
inary medicine and may not re
port. Otopalik still has Capt. Gay
Bales and Dan Richter, 128 and
155 pound representatives, but the
rules say only one match to a man
per meet.

Due to circumstances beyond
our control we are now living in
the month of January, acclaimed
by everybody as the best month
of the year.
January at UN means four
things: hangovers,, bromos, nodoze
pills, and those secluded and mys
terious dates with teachers, name
ly finals. Ah yes, final exams are
those little quizzes that have been
the downfall of many a good man
and woman.
Days Zoom By.
Not tomorrow but today is the
time to start worrying because
there are only IS more cramming
davs till final week! However,
these days will undoubtedly zoom
by and actual studying wm oegin
the eve of the big date.
Those students here who will
be taking their first final exmas
are likely to find the UN campus
a bit screwy. Fellows go around
yelling Tike" as the bags under
the coeds eges get baggier than
they are now, which is pretty
baggy.
UN gals likewise have a treat
final week. Fellows get serious
d urine- the week of weeks, but
only about studies. The men go
Viersprfc- ihpv co on ranmage: in
fact, they get crazier than they
now are which ain't so crazy.
Now on duty with combat or
ganizations receiving tactical field
training before going into battla
zones are two former University
of Nebraska students, both second
lieutenants in the U. S. marina
corps.
The lieutenants are Edgar L.
Nevins. Jr., and Charles V. Fow
ler, both of whom have just com
pleted three months at Reserve Of
ficers School in Quantico, Va,
where they received platoon com
mand instruction.
Lieutenant Nevins. who had two
years of ROTC at Nebraska, has
served four years in the marines,
is connected with aviation and will
probably be assigned to an air
craft uniL
Lieutenant Fowler received a
B. S. and a M. A. degree from the
university in 1940 and 1941 re
spectively for accounting and eco
nomics. He also had two years oi
R. O. T. C. at Nebraska and was
a member of Beta Gamma Sigma,
honorary bizad fraternity.

January Is Chilly.
Hardly anyone likes January
finals as well as the ones in May.
It's not that the finals are any
different they're all rugged
but it's more fun to study in May.
Maybe it's because the air is
fresher and warmer. Maybe be
cause it's more fun studying under
a shady tree on a blanket drink
ing soda pop.
Contrast that set with the Jan
uary setuo. Icicles are all around:
people are cold. Fellows aoni
like that; it's hard to study.
The best nolicy was to start
study during vacatiton. The worst:
waiting until the last night to
review for the exams.
Well, from the above you can
see that everyone is fervently
looking forward 18 days hence
just as if it were vacation. Only
this vacation is one without sleep.
Moral: There's no lime like the
present to start study.
