Unless they are just bluffing or are just trying to fret a Mortar Board, regardless of whether she is .still in s"hoo next fall, their actions seem to indicate that they are interested in who is elected liecause ihey will ell he around in Sop tern her. Whether lite women are all planning to pet married and stay out of trouble by going to school or are contemplating finding a hus band among th soldiers to be stationed on the campus ami of course, ibere are some coeds "who go to school for an education doesn't make a lot of difference. The fact that there are students here stu dents in the sense that we know them now will mean a lot so far as the perpetuation and continuance of university traditions is con cerned. However, speculation as to what the Vomen will be doing in September is difficult. Everybody knows that a woman is unpredict iiblc. Today is the thing, and today ihe women ire electing iheir leaders for next semester. And ma v t he best gal w in ! Patriotic But . . . A terrific headache for the business de partment of the llaily N'ebraskan has been ihe !cinands of students in the service for 1he e hraskan. The palriotic instinct dictates that the pa per should be seiil to the dozens of fellows who write 'almost every day. From a factual lais'mess standpoint, that cannot be done. In the first place, part of the fee paid for the Daily N'ebraskan each semester is refunded to students leaving for the service. Moreover, the cost of mailing is such that the budget would not permit sending the paper to all stu dents leaving school. The N'ebraskan has cooperated with the post-war scholarship fund sponsors by selling .subscriptions to the N'ebraskan for men in the service for $.'!', of which ."iOe goes to Ihe scholarship fund. The T.'tc made by the Maily does not even cover the cost oj mailing. Anybody that suspects the Daily of pull ing a big deal is wrong. Not lack of patriotism but lack of a large enough budget prevents the Daily N'ebraskan from circulating to men in the service. V . . Mail Clippings Pat Chamberlin, Censor Report has come that Second Lieutenant TAl'I; KRASNE has been injured in the fight 'ing on New Guinea. He is believed to be back in action at the date of this writing. Lieut. Krasne was a member of Zeta Beta Tau. Second Lieutenant JOB KIRSIIENBAUM is with the Army Ordnance department now on Dear Editor: Being an admirer of feminine pulchritude I was very much pleased when, having adjust ed my bifocals. I discovered a picture of Helen "Oh Boy'' Johnson (Quote the Pink Rag now deceased) on the front page of last Fri day's N'ebraskan. With all due respect to members of the faculty, 0. F. Kettering, George V. Norris, and other prominent per sons whose faces have adorned the front page of the N'ebraskan. I would like to say that Miss Johnson is by far the best front page material presented so far I his school lerm all of which brings us to the main point of this literary blasphemy. According to "Daniel.'' lo whom all of us refer at least once in our life, V. of N'. students not excluded, "typical means. . .exhibiting the essential characteristics of a group."' If such is the meaning of "typical" how can Miss Johnson possibly be called the TXC without a complete blackout of one's conscience? Maybe I need new "specs.'" but from where 1 sit Miss Johnson is far, far above typical. There are many more appropriate adjectives which I could think of; however, I'll not go into those just now. If Miss Johnson is "typical' of the Ne braska coeds, then dear old U. of X. need not : worry about the loss of a lew hundred ERC's. j All that would be required to counteract this loss of men is to circulate a few of Friday's N'ebraskan over the surrom.ding states and I'm sure the new male enrollment would more than compensate for the loss of the KRC's. Having glanced at the candidates for "Max Queens,' ami 1 assure one glance was enough, how can anyone be-little Miss Johnson by branding her TNV. In my opinion these titles could very rightfully be reversed, making .Miss Johnson "May Queen"' and ihe present can didates TN'G's. As things now stand, 1h en titles are misnomers of no small degree. Tin only comparable misnomer I could possibly de visie is the nominating of "Tut" McKee for BDOC. Rod Scott. (Editor's note: The Daily Nebraskan seconds the nomination of fuzz-cut, corderoy panted McKee.) Home Ec Department Gives Courses for War Activity . . . In Dietetics, Child Care Courses in dietetics, clothes con servation and child care will be offered as an additional women's war activity by the home ec de partment, under the direction of Miss Margaret Fedde. The classes will meet at 4:30 p. m. Wednesdays on the city cam pus, and a special course for home ec majors covering- leadership of 4-H groups and other such organ izations will be offered on ag cam pus. Covers Rationing.

"Development of the 'colonial" nations must be three-fold," said the professor. "They must be along economic, educational and health lines. "Politically, they must be organized in large federated sec tions." In discussing the minority peo ples, Dr. Hartzler stated that these groups are distinguished by their religion, race, language and na tionality. Two types of the and freezing processes.) The classes on child care will specialize in nursery school in struction; conservation of mater ials will teach mending of house hold articles. Called "The Home Front," the classes will start as soon as the war activity goes into effect. groups are those who are in the majority in one state or nation and spread rmt to form the minority in a second nation, and those who form a small pocket in one na tion. The professor advanced the idea of establishing larger rather than smaller political units of these minority groups in order to leave behind the narrow nationalistic attitude as the possible solution to their socioliogical problem. The third major social problem, that of the population density and population increase in an urea with a limited amount cf re sources, which is clearly definite, was next brought out by Dr. Hertz ler. He advanced the theory vof a ri.se in social outlook, standard of living, and general betterment of the entire population as the pos sible allevation of this social problem.

You know the rules, three tardies make an absence an absence takes three poinls off your final grade." (irade school, you ask? No. my friend, not glade school, nor high school but college! For thus treads the foot of authority in the Home He. department and it treads in for bidden gardens. Youth, old 'enough and mentally mature enough to have been in college two or three years, should be allowed the smail responsibi it y of going to a class. Or if an individua wishes to skip a class is it not his own neck h wrings.' lie pays for ihe course and if he doesn't wish to take w hat he pays for. is not that his own business? Sometimes we won ,,.,. These students, freshmen, sophomores and, more so. juniors ami seniors have t a sled enough of life to enable them to make their own de cisions. Furthermore, a mere grade is not (supposedly) ihe ultimate goal. If a number of faculty in a certain college oT the university aren't capable of holding student interest, why don't they admit their defeat? This, rather than lo employ grade school tactics of deduct ing from final averages. Ah. well, my student friends! A whole life lies ahead. Perhaps youth can afford to kneel ami be humble for a lime, that some Home Ec teachers may enjoy a moment of authority.

For years telephone cables have been fpliced in a very satisfactory way. But the solder joint contained 40 per cent war-vital tin. So Bell System men devised a new type of joint which saves up to 80 per cent of the solder. A ""V ictory Joint" they called it. The new technique has been adopted throughout the System with the result that 600,000 pounds of tin and an even greater amount of lead can be saved in a normal year's construction. This is another example of the nation-wide cooperation of Bell System people in fulfilling their ideal service to the nation in peace or war. f
