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.

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

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.

BY DALE WOLF.
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.
