The Time Is Ripe Emerging from the rarefied atmosphere of campus ileatlism, we browsed around San Francisco during the holidays, nibbed elbows with Joe Doakes and the Mrs., and looked for" some tan gible examples of war effort co-operation. Our faith in the willingness of all citizens to suport the war effort was shaken somewhat by our findings. Late one afternoon, for example, we heard Elmer Davis tell the American people about plans for food rationing. We heard him state sincerely that there would he no hoarding. That very evening we saw housewives buying ten and fif teen dolars worth of canned fruits and vegetables. We saw a wealthy Eea Crif f matron fill her station wagon to over flowing with cases of canned goods. We saw a prominent city official "brow-beat" a small storekeeper into filling his huge order and accepting his written future order for a simi lar amount Conversing with several domestics working on Pacific street brought to light the information that the basements of the homes where they worked were filled with crates, cartons and cases of food cached away months ago in anticipation of food rationing. The next day we saw war workers, dog-tired with a tough day's work, go into stores for canned goods, find the shelves depleted and buy what they could the left-overs. And we wondered how many of these hoarders would hon estly declare their hoarded goods when registering for food ra tioning cards. Four days after Christmas, we watched a ehauffeur-driven ear with a "C" sticker, circle the white house block 24 times while the madam shopped. And a Greyhound driver told us that in one seetfcm of 75 cars at a recent Bay Meadows' race, 35 had "C" cards and 30 had "B" cards. And there was & second class postmaster who pointed with disgust at a stock of war bonds he had redeemed within the past week at the insistence of "patriots" who could not abstain from purchasing unnecessaries. Admittedly, we are talking about the failings of a minority of our citizenry. Most citizens are willing "to play ball," but their morale is not boosted by these repeated, flagrant violations of the public eode. Certainly, the time is ripfor the government agencies charged with the enforcement of these rules to post the names ef and levy fines upon the violators. Reprinted from the Daily CaHfornian. No More Cones Chocolate, Ice Cream Go Way Of Cokes; Union Supply Curbed First it wsjs cokes now it is chocolate and ice cream. Shortages and rationing have hit the cam pus supply of chocolate and ice cream, cutting the Union's supply of ice cream to 50 percent of its October quota and chocolate to a new low. Hot chocolate, chocolate roup and cocoa will be on the list of things the students will find hard to obtain for the duration.

DDDHB Former Student Receives Major's Rank in Air Corps Promotion of Opt Carl F. Heinz, graduate of the University of Nebraska and now personnel adjutant at the Army Air Forces Navigation School at San Marcos, Texas, to the rank of major was announced today by Lt. Col. J. M. Hutchison, commanding officer. Major Heinz was commissioned originally upon graduation as a second lieutenant in the Infantry Reserve In June 1937. He became a first lieutenant early in 1941 and was promoted to a captaincy in February, 1942. He has served with the Army Air Forces at Tul sa., OkL, at Stanford, Texas, and at Kelly Field. (Continued from Page 1.) of the WAAC's, able college women with some gut for leader ship are virtually assured of pro motion both in non-commissioned and commissioned officer status In fact, the need lor officers is so great that those who have demon stiatcd ability during the first four weeks of the period of basic train ing may be selected for Officer's Candidate School immediately. It should be pointed out, however, that the WAAC's are enlisted for the duration and not to exceed six months, and are under obligation to serve as auxiliaries if they are not selected to be trained as of ficers. Individuals may express prefer ence as to duty and station, but responsibility for assignment rests in the Corps. A new directive pro vides that college seniors who pass the requirements may be enlisted and put on inactive status (re serve) until they have finished their college course. WAVES The Women's Reserve of the United States Naval Reserve dif fers from the WAACs in several important respects. Members of the Reserve are actually in the Navy with commissions, ranks, and salaries identical to those of the men. They are restricted to shore duty within the continental United States. Although no maxi mum is stipulated by law as is true of the WAACs, the number to be enlisted at present estimates is very much smaller; and the of ficers are for the most part se lected for training directly from civilian life, sent to a Navy school for training and if successful, are then commissioned. Those who fail to receive commissions may re turn to civil life. However, it should be pointed out that enlisted women have broad opportunities for career service. The WAVES must meet pre scribed educational requirements; enlisted women (ages 20 to 36) four years of high school or ex perience equivalent to high school education; for officers training (ages 21 to 49) a baccalaureate degree from a recognized college or two years of college plus equivalent experience. As has been said before, the proportion of those in the WAVES for which technical knowledge is important is somewhat larger than in the WAACs. In addition to the fre quently emphasized fields of mathematics and science which are basic to many specialised course and specialists services, a knowledge of one or two special ized fields such as radio or aero logy may prove helpful. SPARS In administrative details (re quirement! for admission, promo tion, organization, salaries, etc.) the SPARS follow the same gen eral pattern as the Navy. The number required, however, will be less than for either of the oVher services. The most significant ex ception is that the SPARS do not 44 If You're So Smart, Why Ain't You Rich?"

Ice Cream Out. All ice cream service has been eliminated in the main dining room and on most parties. The cafe teria will have only vanilla ice cream and whatever two sherbets are available. Jobbers from whom these choco late and ice cream products are purchased by the Union must allot their rationed supplies to all of their customers. The Union is therefore alloted its share of the national supply. Gil CUj Enrolment Endangered Colgate Begins New 10-Hour Drill Program HAMILTON. N. Y. (ACPI. Tr...

With registration week nearly over, it looks as though the en rolment on this campus will drop for next semester. Nearly 500 students have registered thus far according to Dr. C. C. Wiggans. This seems to indicate that the en rolment will not meet last semes ter's total of something over seven hundred. According to reports, the greatest registration even on this campus seems to be in such courses as chemistry, physics, math, and geology. It seems that everyone is beginning to realize the necessity of such courses. One of the maior reasons fnr the expected decrease in enrolment is the fact that a number of boys are troine home to the farm to aid in alleviating the labor shortage. Some of them have -already left and others are contemplating tak ing the same move. The intramural basketball tour nament on this campus is going full blast by now and the battle is on. These intramural games are played every Tuesday and Thursday nights beginning at 7:30. There are two leagues in the tour nament and most of the organized houses have a team entered in both leagues. To the winner of the tournament will be given a small trophy as has been given in the past Teams entered in the contest are Farm House, AGR( ACBC, Beta Sig. Baldwin Hall, and several teams which have been organized on the campus and which repre sent no particular organized club. This contest has been one of the main sports features of the year on tlfts campus. The tournament has been won by Farm House the last three years and from all indi cations they have a winning team again this year. In the line of agricultural ex perimentation, the agronomy de partment has released the .new name they have decided for their new strain of alfalfa. The strain, known as A-136 in the iMri. mental stage has been called Kanger. This announcement came from Dr. H. M. Tysdal, sen ior agronomist with the IT. SL D. A. Ranger alfalfa compares favor ably with Hardistan in sistance, Tysdal states. It excels naraisian in seed yield as well as forage vicld. In reneral ita vw-M of forage and seed has been equal to mat or unrnm. AH registered and eertifiM kpmI will be held nntil March 1. and at that time will be offered for sale to Nebraska farmers.
