Restore Bliss on Ag The letter written by a home ee student in a recent Daily Nebraskan has caused plenty of commotion around this office. For several days, several coeds dropped in to inform us that the letter was absolutely correct, that they were going to write letters too. A reporter sent to interview students on the campus found every student in agreement that the rule set up for home cc students was absurd. Now ag campus has traditionally been a site of pastoral bliss. Their parties and pro jects, tho simpler than those planned on the city campus, are more often successful. Al most everybody attending classes on ag claim that their campus can't be equaled. - It is, therefore, quite disturbing to note the great discontent on Ihe part of the home ec students since the ruling has been announced. The reason for the complaints is obvious: The girls cannot miss or come tardy to classes without losing credit on their grade record. The women say that such a system is grade-si-hoolish. The reason for the rule seems to be as obvious: Many home ec students complete their semester requirement before the semester ends, and having no more to do, no longer attend classes. At any rate, tardiness and ab sences must have been frequent. Perhaps, the answer to the problem is give the gals more work, but they would probably object to lhat. And of course, theie are the t-ity coeds who need more than a semester to complete what is assicned now. t any rate, the problem shouldn t be so serious that it cannot be solved to-the satis faction of both students and faculty members. The bliss of ag should not be disturbed. I I I Dear Editor: This is to Mr. Jim Peterson. While you arc weeping. Miss Ohamberlin is spending her time arranging convocations for the KKC men thiit arp leaving, selling war st amps, doing I'SO work, and heading the "War Council on this eampus. One thing is for sure, she is not wasting her time and that cer tainly can't be said for you. I don't know bow long it took you to write your reply to .her editorial but I'm sure that you wasted Mime precious time. Yes, Pat is thinking', thinking and still thinking. . So are thousands of mothers, sweethearts, wives and children all over America. If they weren't thinking of those who have gone and those who are going, there really would not be a hell of a Ipt to fight for, would there Mr. Peterson? "We feel sorry for Pat, thinking away bere at home, and so ashamed of our own part, in this undertaking that we really think that as soon as we reach the front, we'll buy Pat a little gift with our country's silver currency in our pockets." 1 doubt if anyone with your frame of mind will ever reach the front but "if you do I am sure that you will be praying and hoping that there is someone at home thinking of you. If you are serious in your reply to Miss Chamberlin's editorial I suggest that you talk with her. I am sure that she can show you the meaning of her editorial. For the majority of the students on this eam pus it was rather obvious. If you don't consider yourself lucky in be- V...' Mail Clippings Pat Chamberlin, Censor FIRST LT. GERALD DAVIS was back in town on a short leave this week. He is with the Amphibian Command, at Camp Gordon Johnston, Florida. DONALD L. HERZOG has been promoted to the rank of corporal at Will Rogers Field, Oklahoma. He is on duty as clerk and typist in the chemical section of a headquarters squadron. . DONALD R. ROSS is in specialized train ing at Big Spring, Texas, where he is training for an appointment as an officer in the Army Air Forces and for his wings as a bombardier. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta. A V-mail letter from former Delt LLOYD LONDON gives a UN gob's eye view of Abbott Hall, Midshipman's Naval Training Station, Northwestern University, Chicago, 111.: "... Reached Chicago a week ago and they've really been putting us thru the paces. We're apprentice seamen for a month, mid shipmen for three months, and then Ensigns ! I hope. ing able to fight for these "thinking women" it would be much better for you to stay at home and try to take their place. I don't think that you are capable of doing that. . I am sure that Miss Chamberlin hit the nail on the head. It certainly is not easy to say goodbye to those men leaving for the service. It is not easy for me and it must be much harder for the women as they rec ognize that for the majority of them they will have to do their fighting in war work here at home. You will be fighting on the bloody battlefields of Kansas (and no doubt that is where you will do your fighting) while Pat and thousands like her will be spending every minute, every hour, every day working for us. They will be making the United States a place that will be worth coming home to. They will be rolling band ages, giving "silver" and everything they have for the war effort. True, maybe we will die but by the grace of God above maybe that is the easiest way out of the mess that lies ahead. Maybe the situation will become so bad that we will be favored to follow Hitler's strategy. Maybe the women of this nation will be drafted to fight in the front lines. There is no doubt that there are a lot of them who could hold their ground better than some men. They have shown their strength more than once and perhaps it will be necessary for them to do it again. I am sure that the women in the Red, Cross overseas are going through as much hell as anyone else in this war. 1 am sure that they are dying and dying gladly for those who are still going to college, Mr. Peter son, and not yet connected wilh the armed forces. y If you don't think that there is "agony to staying at home" I suggest that you visit a few homes in Lincoln such as the Fens ler's, the Sweeny's, the Joyce's and hun dreds of others that wait for word from their sons. Some have already heard and what they heard was "missing in action" or "killed in action." You really don't think that this was easy for them, do you? "You rcallv don't think that this war is all fought. on the battlelieWIs ot Airica, uushia or Guadalcanal," do you, Mr. Peterson? Pat said" it all in : "Remember there is faith behind you, there is love behind you, friendship, and the bright silver of courage." Dave Walcott. White Space For today's treat we are publishing possible future exerpts from the diary of First Lieutenant Robert Adams, campus di rector of the women's ROTO.' The first Thursday class meeting. Dear Diary: 1 am a nervous wreck. Today, I met my women's ROTC class and had to wait for 49 minutes before 1 could stop the talking long enough to edge in a word, and then I could only say, "Come back next Thursday at the same time." How long can this go on! The Fifth Thursday. Dear Diary: Todav I finally got all the coedets into a straight line, and was ready to give the command, "Forward. March." Just as I started to speak, a bunch of gym-suited girls from the physical education department dribbled volley balls down the field and broke up the line. This kind of thing has got to stop; and be sides, I won't be able to sit down for a week, because those gym people cannot tell me from an arencry target. Or can they? The Tenth Thursday. Dear Diary: . Today was the day of the big parade-tea in Ellen Smith hall. The precision of the drill was perfect. At the command, "Present, Arms," every cocd-et raised her tea cup, and at Ihe command, "Order, Amis," every coed et managed to gulp down all her tea and return the cup to the saucer. . ,inV un a 1 must snoiled bv some sirls from the physical education department, who attacked the hall with their volley balls. However, the attackers were beaten off by means uf commando-ette tactics, and the coed-et corps won the day. All of the drill and hit patience have not been in vain. R. A.

Tigers Favor World-Herald Joins Us . . . . Floyd Olds, sports editor of the Omaha World-Herald, of ficially joined our '"Missouri versus Huskers" bandwagon Fri day with a complete column on the subject. Since Air. Olds pounded out his column, "official" word has been received from Missouri's coach and a UN; athletic board meeting is pending. "Some of the boys on the Daily Nebraskan staff have started agitation for a Missouri Nebraska, football game as a climax to the spring training program. "Presncll said yesterday the Nebraskan's idea sounded good, but so fy as he knew no one had started any official negotiations between the llusker and Tiger athletic depart ments. "The one big barrier, he feels, is that the Missouri squad is several weeks ahead of the Huskers in spring practice. Ac tually the Nebraskans haven't been able to drill outdoors as yet, and can't tell when they will. "Olcnn fears by the time Nebraska would be ready for the game, Missouri might already have ended its spring period. "The best argument for such a game is that the players want it. Most of them will be going into service before next fall, so they have little incentive for spring practice. "But if they had a Missouri game as a spring climax, they'd maintain interest in their toil. "The surprising thing about the first few days of Husker conditioning this week was that so many fellows reported. Knowing they'd be far away from the Husker campus by Sep tember, they couldn't be blamed for passing up spring practice drudgery. "A lot of fans probably" would like to see a spring game, too, even if they have very few pleasant memories about the Husker season of 1942. "So they have our blessing. "We hope they can arrange a spring game. And in doing so, they might be staging the only football game for a Nebraska team in 194:1."

BY GENE SHERMAN. (Intramural Editor) I-M ping pong is now in full swing. After having witnessed the majority of the matches, we have come to the conclusion that there are some outstanding paddle swingers left in school. Probably the most outstanding performer is Al White of the de fending champion ZBT quintet. Earlier in the school year this diminutive exponent of the table tennis sport won himself much glory by copping most of the ping pong tournaments offered by the Student Union and other organ izations. Chances are that White will not be available for the league playoffs if the ZBT's win the league One title since he must report to Fort Leavenworth the last week of this month. Rated the second best paddle swinger of the tournament is dark complected Norm Veta of the SAM team. Veta has been the Cheyenne, Wyoming city ping pong champion for the last three years. His favorite shot is his "back hand around the back shot" which is used when he is sporting a comfortable lead. This corner wishes to beg its pardon for omitting the ACBC five in the recent publication of the final barb basketball stand ings. The ACBC's were runner up to the Blitz Kids with a rec ord of six victories out of eight games played. Since the I-M department does not sanction an intramural crap- shooting tournament, each house sent its three outstanding men out to the faction picnic to de termine the unofficial crap-shoot ing title of the campus. . Bowling is slated to get under way next week. A line will cost 18c before 4:30 P. M. and 23c afterwards. These are ceiling prices. if an effort to do so were put forth Faurot, head coach at Missouri. said he was eager to play the proposed spring game and that either field was all rieht with him." Great Idea. Continued Mennineer, sports mouthpiece of the Missouri stu dents: "Your suggestions for the game's giving the spring grid can didates some impetus, besides pro moting an event for a war cause are all well put. In addition, it will provide the two schools with a substitute clash in the absence of a baseball game this spring, and is sure to arouse a great deal of enthusiasm among the student bodies, especially in the light of its novelty. Next move thus, remained In the hands of the University of Ne braska board of athletics slated to pass on the legislation sometime in the immediate future. Suppcrt Mounts. Meanwhile, along the newspaper front approval of the game con tinued to mount. Lincoln sport editors, Walt Dobbins and "Cy" Sherman, remained in firm sup port of the measure while the Omaha World Herald sport scribes were split in opinion. ft 5 Warmerdamin Vault Record CHICAGO, 111..
