any misunderstanding of the rules
and the purpose for which these
rules, which have always been
present but only recently enforced,
were enacted in the first place.
Concerning this problem, Miss
Fedde states, "We regret very
much that apparent misunder
standing regarding the 'absence
regulations' recently publicized in
the Daily Nebraskan. The home
economics staff is very apprecia
tive of the esprit de corp that has
always prevailed among its stu
dents and the cordial relations be
tween students and staff."
Intended for Minqrity.
"The regulations regarding ab
sences were intended for the very
small minority, probably not over
percent, who need to be re
minded of their purpose in college
and not for the 98 percent who
take their work seriously and
earnestly."
Miss Fedde continues, "As an

singing harmony of Fred Daring

Discussion on the resolution was
opened by Dr. James L, Sellers,
of the history department. Other
principle speakers were Dr. John
D. Clark and Dr. W. I. Elias. J
E. LeRossignol presided over the
meeting.
Chief argument for support of
the resolution was that it would
help crystallize public opinion in
the United States. The discussion
brought out considerable objection
to any commitment now by the
United States as to post-war boun
daries and any other commitments
that might tie the hands of the
United States at peace confer
ences.

So Says Coed . . .
BY MARY LOUISE GOODWIN.
Right face! and they did it The wom
en's unit of the ROTC met for the first time
yesterday afternoon and the results were more
than pleasing to both the officers in command
and the coed-ets. From 3:30 until 4:30 was
spent in Soah auditorium where Dr. E. E.
Lackey gave his first lecture in the map read
ing series which will continue for the next
eight weeks. This course is the same which Dr.
Lackey is teaching the army men.
At 4 :30 lit. Robert E. Adams came in, and
after introducing himself and giving a few
pointers on the ROTC, led the 126 coed-ets over
in front of the coliseum which was designated
as the drill grounds.
As the company approached the coliseum

... So Says Cadet
BY ANDERSON AND BAUERMEISTER.
You've been hearing this idle chatter
about the Seven Wonders of the World since
early childhood. We saw the eighth wonder o
the world Thursday afternoon, right within
these moss-covered walls.
Lt. Robert Adams conducted the first worn
en's ROTC unit at Nebraska just outside of
Memorial Stadium and even those ancient
walls blushed. A crowd of male observers, col
lected to see what they could see, observed
several notable items during the drill. To wit:
That our Nebraska girls catch on quicker
than predicted. Lieutenant Adams' commands
were obeyed instantly and with some dispatch.
Several amazons couldn't decide which foot
was left or which was right, but they did an
about face and thereby reached some kind of
peak.

Just Curious
BY MARYLOUISE GOOWJN and
JOHNNY BAUERMEISTER.
Sabotage! Gawsh no. We just
wanted to see what lt would have
been like to roam thru the halls
and corridors, to chat at the drink
ing fountains, and to gosip and
study, in the spacious . and roomy
Love Memorial Library, newest
addition to the university.
So with utter disregard of the
little sign on the door that says,
"Government property Keep out,"
we slipped in the back way of
what is now rapidly taking the ap
pearance of an army barracks.
While worklngmen were hastily
setting up bunks and laying in
mattresses, we roamed about and
marveled at the million dollar baby
that was to ahve made us all
studious and ambitious once
more.
Centrally located on second
floor the card catalogue room
alone is bigger than our present
reference room. Roaming thru the
eight floors of stack rooms, now
filled with cots, we encountered
such things as an electric elevator
to facilitate climbing to the vari
ous stack rooms, and observed pri
vate study booths, equipped with
indirect lighting, lined along the
south side of each stack room. The
dumb waiter, with which books
were to have been quickly raised
and lowered was another interest
ing innovation of the building.
With the floors and wall-bases
covered with inlaid linoleum, all
of the rooms, halls, and stairways
represent the latest in modern de
sign for such elegant extravagan
zas. Together with Indirect light
ing every where you go, the incom
ing cadets can't possibly be any
thing but the best housed unit in
the country thought us as we
turned a corner and bumped
smack into the new cadre of officers.
Adequate Barracks.
Bumping into officers on tres
passed property are not the
choicest people to stand around
and chat with, but the young lieu
tenants, themselves not far re
moved from their days of college,
agreed that the building was a
masterpiece and probably would
have been condusive to study, but
in these times should serve "very
capably as a barracks for the
cadets."
Assuing the officers we were
merely curious and with no Intent
of sabotage, we politely made an
exit and thereby completed our
one and only Journey thru & library
