The report of the situation of the EHC and n
ranced ROTC in today's Daily !ebraskan is not a rumor.
We hope that it is the end of rumors, that students trill
react in the most intelligent manner: by not losing their
heads, by settling doun to serious study until called.
Approximately :!()() UN men will be affeded when the ERC
is called. Few abhor the idea of leaving school 1o enter military
service; almost all are looking forward to the experience with
expectation and determination.
But at the same time, there are few who will leave wilhout
memories of college life, of incidents on ihe campus that have
impvessed them ; there are few who will leave w ithout sonic
regret.
As for those remaining on the campus, all sadly say good
by to fraternity brothers, room-mates, sweethearts and friends.
For Ihe women, it means more than less boys with whom to
go out. For the men, there is sort of a feeling of envv:
"YOU'RE (i'KTTINO INTO THE TllINO-WUHKK WE UK
LON(t, HUT W E ST A Y 11 Eli E. '
So with the same mixed emotions that is evident on the
canipus, the Daily Ncbraskan offers a suggestion: Let the uni
versity and student-body honor Ihose some .'100-odd men who
are leaving. Let these ETC men typifying all UN men iti ihe
service bead the goodbys and good-lucks of the campus which
they leave.
That is why this paper calls on the War Council, the Stu- i
dent Council, Innocents society, Corn Cobs, the YM or any or-!
ganization or all of them to plan a rally honoring the ERC
men before they leave.
i
Remember the Rose Bowl rallies? They were for nr men
who had von ureal victories on the eridiroii. Now there exisls

be even greater victories.
The organization or organizations which undertake the
planning of the affair should consider what has been done at
other schools.
At the University of Washington, for example, the senior
class has produced a "stage-show program' depicting the de
velopment of the university from a peacelime to a wartime
school with special tribute to the men leaving for the service.
Broadcast over all local stations, the show has increased school
spirit, acquainted the public wtih the campus war activities, and
kissed the boys goodby.
At other schools, torchlight rallies have been climaxed by
all school dances. Others are planning campus assemblies where
departing students hear speeches, are entertained by college
talent. Ideas are plentiful.
At any rate, here is a projoel for the extra-curricular or
ganizations on ihe campus! There is not loo much time remain
ing to plan a suitable program.
Why doesn't a well co-ordinated body like the Student War
Council begin organization today?

White Space
A' B' on Ben Joe College awoke one night
in a deep dream of unrest, and there was
Maria Monte, dancing like mad on a techni
color sand dune. Waving a veil in each hand,
Maria sent a semaphore message to Joe, saying
lhat he must come to Bagdad to help pay off
Ihe mortgage on her circus. Needing no second
invitation Joe asks how they are going to get
from the campus to Bagdad. Maria answered
that a couple of camels would help; so Joe
whips out his trusty eigaret case, and ihey
light up and puff away to Bagdad.
Tn Bagdad, Joe revolutionizes Maria's circus
business by having her five hundred dancing
girls exchange their veils for sweaters; and
after persuading them to dull the pinkness of
their complexions wilh Luck, the lathery hope

Ibis feat, Alassie makes Joe the twin of the

Two caliphs that look alike, cause all kinds

scene, Joe is finally facing the real caliph in
a hand to hand scimeter duel. Suddenly Joe's
scimeter is knocked from his hand, and as he
is about to be pushed into a harem swimming
pool, Alassie asks him if he has one last wish
that she can fulfill. "Just tell me where Maria
is," Joe says. "We were alone when this busi

At Ibis moment a dutiful freshman begins
sloshing cold water on Joe, and begging him

talk was "Conditions in Great

The British, said Jones, have
been able to produce incredibly,
to live on increfliDiy small amounts
of food, etc., only because they
have achieved a high spirit of
contemplative sacrifice. Money
means little to the people of Great

ROOM FOR RENT BY RACKETEER

for a room to rent may lead to the door of a petty racketeer.
According to the Washington 1. S. attorney's office, here's
bow hundreds of newcomers are victimized. The new ai rival i
checks his bag at Union Station and begins the loom hunt.
Hours later he finds a landlord who says he'll have a room
available next day and a weeks' rent in advance, please.
The jubilant room hunter pays, pockets a receipt and de
parts rejoicing.
..Next day he returns. "No room here, sorry," says the
landlord. The room hunter shows his receipt, asks for his money
back. The landlord points to the receipt. It says "no fund
after 10 hours.''
The war worker is out $). $10, or more and still roomless.
That's small stuff. Big-time operators mulct home seekers
of as much as $200, deposit on purchase of a Jamie.
Few college students ever buck a racket like this. But they
are old hands at the perilous, complicated business of renting
rooms and living in rooming bouses. They could give lessons
1o women war workers now living in rented rooms for the first
lime.
To help them with their problems, ihe Women's Bureau of
1he Department of Labor prepared a list of do's and don'ts for
roomers and landladies, complete with an epigram from Emer
son: "Life is not so short but that there is always time enough
for courtesy."
EXPERIMENTAL DRAMA
WPB isn't known as a patron of the experimental drama,
but it's keeping an eye on an experiment among New England
college theatres that involves of all things a logging project.
Since the experiment concerns reduction of the manpower
shortage for winter logging operations, however, WPB has a
legitimate interest. Matter of fact, WPB wrote the script. It's
"Woodman, Chop That Tree," a dramatization of the need for
loggers.
Members of the Allied College Theatres of New England pre
senting the drama include Amherst, Bennington, Brown, Mount
Holyoke, Smith, Wcllesley, Williams and Yale. Theatres at
these schools organized last fall to integrate and enlarge their
war activities.
