Hawaii Responds To Var Changes
BY RUTH CM ATTERTON.
(Editor note: The author of
this article has recently come to
Nebraska from the Hawaiian is
lands where she has lived most of
her life. Since, from December
7, 1941, the Hawaiian islands have
been the topic of American con
versation, the Daily hopes this
article will better acquaint the
students with life on the islands.)
Hawaii is the subject of this
article, so we might as well begin
by learning to pronounce it cor
rectly. Not, of course, that any
one is particularly interested in

Students Pick New Recordings
For Student Union Music Room
. . . Vote At Main Office
Voting for record additions to
the Union Music room will be held
until Feb. 19 by means of record
lists and ballots which will be
given out upon presentation of
identification cards at the main
office of the Student Union.
Records to be voted upon are
divided into six categories from
which one, two or three selections
may be chosen. The list of rec
ords was prepared by the Union
Arts committee with careful
thought as to what the best addi
tions to the music room collection
would be.
Students will vote for two from
the 'first division symphonies, two
from the second division long pro
gram music, and one from the
third division, modern American
popular light classics. One will be
selected from the fourth division,
concertos, two from the fifth,
chamber music, and three will be
voted on from a group of ten mis
cellaneous selections.

dition they must have made the
all-women's scholarship average
of 78 or 80 percent, and com
pleted one year at the university.
It's sad, but true, that this an
nual school event is still barred
from the few remaining boys on
the campus. Of course this arouses
quite a bit of antagonism in this
peace loving institution. But it has
been proved that the surest way
to insure an interest in a campus
activity is to shroud it with a lit
tle mystery.
Everyone will agree that the
boys are going to miss a swell
time, but why don't they try in
venting some original idea and
making it exclusively a la frater

have a good time, as boys do like
a feminine audience when at their
best!

Thirteenth Prom Reveals
Many Changes in
Customs will stand and customs
will fall when the annual Junior
Senior Prom will be held on a
Monday night for the first time in
thirteen years. While the coliseum
as the scene and the "anonymous
band publicity" previewing it spell
tradition, the early occurrence, in
formality, and midweek date lend
it aspects untraditional to UN stu
dents attending previous Prom
dances. It was in 1930 when
Mildred Orr stepped forth to be
come Prom girl of 1930 and the
first prom girl in the history of
the institution. Even in those
days the party was a lavish affair
but it was held in one of the local
hotels. In 1931 Dorothy Silvia
reigned over the junior and senior
classes.

Tau, Brown Palace Give
$25 Bonds This Week
TOPPING the halfway mark of
the year's $2,500 goal, the War
Scholarship Fund yesterday was
swelled to $1,275 of bonds at ma
turity value.
With their contributions of a $25
bond each, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma
Delta Tau, sororities, and Brown
Palace, organized unaffiliated
house, pushed the fund to its pres
ent level. Brown Palace is the
first unaffiliated organization on
the campus to contribute to the
fund.
Sponsored by the Nebraska Stu
dent Foundation, the Fund was es
tablished to be given in small
amounts to students of the univer
sity who were forced to interrupt
their schooling at Nebraska to
enter the armed forces. It will be
awarded at the end of the war to
those eligible by a faculty commit
tee composed of the registrar,
comptroller, chairman of the schol

The call number and short descrip
tions of each book are given as an

ident of the Junior class rubbed an
Aladdins lamp which was at the
feet of a giant genie. The eyes of
the Genie sparkled and glowed and
a brilliant red flame cast its fiery
shadows over the lamp. As the
fire subsided the Prom girl was
revealed.
The 1936 prom trotters danced
to the tunes of Joe Venute and his
band and saw Lorraine Hitchcock
step from a miniature of her sor
ority house onto the stage.
Adrinenne Griffiths won the votes
of the couples attending the 1937
prom and was duly presented by
the presidents of the two classes.
The first Prom Girl to be elected
at a general election was Eloise
Benjamin, 1938 Prom Girl. Griff
Williams and his orchestra did the

Eighty Percent
Increase in '42
Of Rail Traffic
. . . Troops, Gas Rationing
Passenger traffic on railroads
increased 80 percent in 1942 due
in no small part to traveling stu
dents according to eastern railroad
publication. The passenger trans
portation job performed by the
railroads in 1942 was equivalent
to moving every man, woman and
child in the United States 407
miles, or about the distance from
New York to Buffalo, F. E. Wil
liamson, president of the New
York system recently pointed out.
This increased transportation
represented an increase of 80 per
cent over the volume of such traf
fic in 1941 and was two and a
third times what it was in 1939,
Mr. Williams explained.
Vast troop movements and gas
oline rationing have created a
major transportation problem for
the railroads. Mr. Williams stated,
"The railroads find themselves un
able to supply just the travel ac
commodations you may want at
the time or on the particular train,
or even on the day you want it.
They usually do, however, have
seats and berths . . . from Monday
noon thru Thursday,

The 1939 prom was a holiday for
the Hep Cats when Gene Krupa
picked up the drum sticks to play.
Honors that year went to Jerry

Betty Ann Nichols was acclaimed

proclaimed her Prom Girl of 1942.
