As we rush madly across the
campus trying to keep a couple of
jumps ahead of the gale, noses red
from cold, and icicles hanging
from our ears we picked up
these few items to warm the at
mosphere in your vicinity Yes, it
wasn't only the wind that was in
an uproar yesterday. . .Marg Heyn
had the Theta house and half the
campus in an uproar Friday when
she tripped in flashing a rock from
her ski instructor boyfriend. She
didn't have half as much trouble
making people believe it was the
real McCoy as she did trying to
convince them that it was just a
dune store diamond and all a joke.
Diamond No Joke.
No joke was the diamond Pi
Phi Muriel Mayer received from
her soldier boy friend stationed in
Australia or the one Ann Wodder
of the dorm got from the Ohio
man whose pin she wears.
A couple more Sigma Chis bit
the dust this week-end. Ronnie
Metz hung his pin on KKG Betty
Hohf and Ray Herr parted with
his cross to Virginia Radmore....
Then Bob Rowher hung his newly
acquired DU emblem on Pi Phi.
Barbara Richards. The pin be
longs to fraternity father Dick
Foe who is a little worried about
the whole thing because Barbara
has already chained the pins.
Here's Hoogar.
Girls, if you're looking for a
man look Mark Hargrave's way.
He's looking for a woman.
Mary Alice Lehr won't be back
to school until next semester be
cause of illness. Wonder what FH
Randy Pratt will do in his spare
time til then?... Jan Hoover and
Sidney Ann Gardner of the Theta
domicile left yesterday for Sunny
California (lucky people) to see
"Boots'' Gardner, brother of Sid
ney Ann and a very good friend
of Jan's.
Almost Steady.
A couple more FH boys are al
most but not quite on the steady
list Paul Evland is spending most
of his dating time with AOPI
Dorothy Caress and Ruben Her
man hasn't let any competition in
for dates with DG Barbara Towns
end for three weeks.
Congratulations to the newly
initiated Sigma Alpha Mus and
Delta Upsilons.
And last but not least by any
means ATO Ceorge Abbott has
decided to really settle down and
call it steady with Alpha Phi Gin
nie McCulla.
Farm Income Doubled . .
Nebraska Leads in Retail Sales
Expansion Since Start of War
Employment Up 40 Percent
Because farm income has more
than doubled, because employment
has increased 40 percent, and be
cause of other related factors, Ne
braska is significantly above the
average of other states in the rate
of expansion in retail sales since
the start of the war.
Those are the conclusions as
serted in the January business re
view of the University of Ne
braska News, in an article writ
ten by Prof. Oscar W. Litteter,
instructor in business research at
the university.
Costs Lower.
"Prices received by farmers for
products raised on Nebraska
farms have risen approximately
85 percent since June, 1939," says
the article. "On the other hand,
the prices paid by the farmers for
the commodities needed in produc
tion and family living have risen
only 25 percent over the same
period." This difference n-pre-sents
a significant increase in the
farmers' net income which, in
turn, has been an important fact
in the expanding retail sales.
Farmers income has increased
by 129 percent since August, 1939.
Wage earners' Income increased
79 percent and business proprie
tors income rose 65 percent.
Farmers in the state have been
enjoying better than parity prices.
"During the past year the prices
received by farmers have risen
faster than those paid by them
and, as a result, they have had
prices as much as 12 percent
above parity for November, 1942,
the latest month for which figures
are available," the review states.
See Stabilizing.
Since the objective of the price
control measure is to maintain
parity prices to farmers, they can
expect to receive approximately
present prices thruout the duration
of the war period.
Outlook for prices of specific
agricultural products during Jan
uary indicates a continuation of
the present level, the review
further states. Corn and wheat
will be higher and the better
grades of slaughter cattle slightly
higher. Feeder cattle, sheep,
lambs, and the lower grades of
slaughter cattle will remain steady
and dairy products, poultry a nd
eggs will , remain at the ceiling
levels. Hogs will decline slightly.
