DAILY' NEBRASKAN
BY WOLFGANG MONROE.
The weekend begina to look big
ger and better as each day passes.
New affair is the Kappa Sig pledge
party. All about Palm Beach, etc.
Complete with leis and flowers. We
still want to know who the Phi
Gams have picked to be Gaboon
Girl of 1943. It appears likely to
this tattler that Marj Christensen
may be a likely candidate.
Strange Things
Like " Anamary Lee, Kappa
pledge, taking the pin of that vet
eran pin hanager, Leonard Dunker.
This girl must be pretty strong
poison. First a Phi Gam pin, then
steady with a Phi Psi and now she
has ciiptured the heart of one of
the OLD guard.
Like Ray MiNer concealing the
fact that his pin now rests in the
hands of one Betty Ruth Dunlap.
Seems the exchange was made last
Saturday night.
Like the typical Nebraska Coed
having a coke in the Union Satur
day morning for the World-Herald.
And typically Nebraskan she was
sans date.
Like Ronny Metz taking such a
long time at the candy passing
Monday night. Just as if he was
leaving soon!
Like Bill Palmer paying his
printing bill in advance. (He re
quested that I make this state
ment. )
I Wonder
Does Frank White really enjoy
going out with that slide rule?
Has the FCC given the Betas up
as a lost cause. The least thoy
could do is give them 99 years a
piece.
How the Red Cross made so
much money and how much Bloom
made on the side?
Vve Enjoyed
The Greek Week that McNutt
put on this year.
The Thoughts of studying in the
air conditioned library.
Bill Dafoe's political inactivity.
Waiting for Betsy Wright to
free herself of those ties that bind.
The names various womens or
ganizations have called me.
Aimless Thoughts
Wonder why the AWS board up
set their own rules and stayed out
so late after the Coed Follies . . .
Mac, the janitor in the Union, is
one swell fellow . . . why do people
drop courses in the middle of the
semester . . . it's strange that Mai y
Russel doesn't get into town more
often on weekends . . . wonder,
why so many prospertive MB's are
working so hard on the war coun
cil .. . isn't it a silly rule that
picnics featuring more than three
couples must be chaperoned . . .
Please, won't someone please ap
ply for the job of society editor.
No qualifications necessary. One
must be able to have their friends,
enemies, and others dislike them
and still smile.
Receives WAVES
Ensign Commission
Tieing for top honor in her
graduating class, Alicia Henson,
university graduate, was commis
sioned as an ensign in the WAVES

Now stationed with the bureau
of aeronautics, navy department

was graduated from UN last June.
She was a member of Alpha Omi
cron Pi sorority.

To Needs of Nation at War'

Problems of War.
In "The Challenge to Higher
Education," Elsworth D u T e a u
takes up the problems of a uni
versity at war and the importance
of keeping institutions of higher
learning functioning as normally
as possible for the duration while
at the same time making room
for new war time responsibilities.
He concludes his March article by
saying, "In the world of tomor
row, the humanities will be the
rock which we will build a uni
versal civilization. Higher educa
tion is the laboratory of the hu
manities as well as of the sciences.
Let us give higher education the
best chance possible to do a suc
cessful job for freedom today and
for the citiwi$hip and leadership
of the posV'v world."
The campus calendar includes
an account of the Prom and the
advanced tapping of the Innocents,
the war activities, student council
action, and new appointments.
