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.

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-

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."

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.

Mizzu Spring Game
Up to Rusher Board
. 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."

Sure Thing!

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

Great Idea.
Continued Mennineer, sports
mouthpiece of the Missouri stu
dents: "Your suggestions for the

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
