DAILY NEBRASKAN
BY JIDGE MASON.
It seems that the Burlington sta
tion hu a rival for the most popu
lar hangout of UN coeds running
second is the front of Love library.
Aa the girls look over prospective
dates for the next six months, the
boys on the campus are beginning
to wonder if the new cadets are so
"welcome" after alL Never mind
fellows, you'll be in uniform soon!
We could not resist including
this little observation: As the sol
diers were blown in Monday we
noticed one poor fellow who was
having trouble adjusting himself
to the Nebraska wind. After sev
eral attempts to fight off the dust
by covering his face with his arms
he hit upon a bright idea! Search
ing thru this pack-sack he pulled
out a gas mask to solve the prob
lem. Blackout Dating.
What could be more inspiring
to tired, discouraged UN students
than a blackout. Rumors spread
fast Monday night and telephones
were ringing furiously as people
called excitedly to inquire if they
could have a "blackout date."
Couples enjoying the mayor's
dark idea were Frank White, Fiji,
and Georgeanne Mamfold, Chick
Thorne, Phi Delt, and Jeanne
Brown, Kappa, and Phi Psi Dick
Harnsberger with DG Virginia
Trowbridge. Delts Warren Van
Norman and Gene Purtzer hurried
over to the Pi Phi house, on hear
ing the news, and sonsoled (?)
Janet Hemphill and Jane Moyer for
20 minutes.

Which reminds us that the cow

road, not to speak of the delicious
chili in China or we'd never men

a fuzz cut and then there's Nor

What could be more appropriate
at this time than to present our
Jackpot of pinnings two this

In Modern Ago
Professor Blames Cars, Double
Features for Draft Rejection
(ACP). Coddling of the nation's
youth by automobiles, double fea
ture movies and the radio is re
fleeted in a recent war manpower
commission announcement that
more than 40 percent of draft teg
istrants are being rejected, accord
ing to Prof. Leon Kranz, head of
Northwestern university s depart
ment of physical education.
Professor Kranz. who was a lieu
tenant in the army air corps during
World war L says the rejection
rate of 35 percent during that war
was serious enough, but that the
current rate offers challenge to
educational and health authorities
He maintains that many defects
which show up in the prime of life
originate from unhygienic prac
tices during childhood.
Lounge at Radio.
"Before gas rationing it was a
common practice to see youngsters
riding to school in the family au
tomobile," he said. "They sit thru
three or four hours at a stretch in
the movies and then lounge before
the radio for several hours. These
practices are going onit a time
when the youngsters should be
building bodies for the future.
"We are not beginning in this
country to do a proper job of
training our youth in helpful phys
ical pursuits."
Americans, in Kranz's opinion,
have glorified the white collar
worker and abandoned use of the
hands except for getting food to
the body and dressing themselves.
Even walking is avoided whenever
possible, he said.
Kranz blames the high percent
age of rejections among older men
to what he claims is a misdirected
physical training program. "The
reason men degenerate so rapidly
after 25," he said, "is because they
give up the activities of youth and
do not replace them with a suitable
program.
Must Continue Training.
"If we could create in the minds
of men the importance of continu
ing training after they have given
up participation in socalled strenu
ous games, then we could continue
to maintain a high level of boyd
conditloning well beyond the pres
ent age,"
In this regard, the Northwestern
educator challenges the exercise
value of two of America's most
popular sports, golf and bowling.
He assertj it is a delusion to be-
they have issued a warning to
Birdie James that he had better
pass the cigars or else!
Action at the Theta House.
Threads of candy and cigars
or else drifted over to the Theta
house Monday night, along with
the Betas, as "Butch" Winter and
"Brick" Murray were captured and
"sprinkled." Shirts and Lois
Wright and Ginny Malster of the
same house were victims of a kid
napping by the Phi Psis. Blackout

Late flash on pinnings: Pi Phi
Dorothea Duxby is now the proud
possessor of the Phi Delt pin of
Steve Dafoe.
While in the Union yesterday
we heard a rumor circulating to
the effect that a pretty "smooth"
boy by name of Ted Green wants
a date with Theta Jan Hoover.
Because of Health
lieve that participation in these
sports provides an adequate pro
gram of physical fitness. These
sports are valuable chiefly for their
social relationships and not as con
ditioners, says Kranz, who shoots
golf in the 70's and bowls in the
200's.
Suggests Exercises.
Kranz recommends that three
parts of the body neglected In
everyday activity be given special
attention. They are the abdomen
or midsection, the feet, and arms
and shoulders. For the first he
suggests lying on the back and re
peatedly raising the head and
shoulders to a trunk-curl position.
This is done by contracting the
abdominal muscles and should be
increased gradually until it can be
repeated raising the head and
shoulders to a trunk-curl position.
This is done by contracting the
abdominal muscles and should be
increased gradually until it can be
repeated 60 to 75 times daily. To
strengthen the feet he recommends
more active use of the toes in
walking. For the arms and shoul
ders he suggests some activity in
which the body weight is sup
ported, such as chinning or pull-
ups.
As a general conditioner, Kranz
recommends running according to
the individual's capacity. Running,
he said, is becoming a lost art and
must be revived in order to raise
the level of fitness.

The two books. "I Flew for
China," by Captain Royal Leon
ard, and "The Flying Tigers," by
Russel Whelan, are stories that
tell the exciting career of Cie
American volunteer group in
China. In the first. Captain Leon
ard relates the experiences of six
exciting years, 1935 to 1941, which
he spent flying for the Republic
of China and acting as a personal
pilot for Generalissimo Chiang.
The second book, "Flying
Tigers," takes up the story of this
group in December 1941 and tells
how they flew and fought for
China until July 1942 when the
group was replaced by the regular
army air force. The book is well
illustrated with many excellent
photographs including those of
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek
and Brigadier-General Chennault.
Chennault was the organizer and
leader of the Flying Tigers.
"The Human Comedy," the first
novel of William Samoyan, is a
story of the experiences of four
teen year old Homer Macauley, a
telegraph messenger in a small
California town. The other mem
bers of Homer's family are his
mother, his sister Bess, his big
brother Marcus, who is in the
army, and his four year old
brother Ulysses, who looks at
everything and says nothing.
The other characters of the
novel are old Mr. Grogan, the
fastest telegrapher in the world
and young Mr. Spangler who is
the manager of the telegraph
office. At the present time a mo
tion picture version of the novel is
being made.

Texas Teacher
Discusses US

AUSTIN, Tex. (ACP). In
crease in the total American bt
coma picture is not necessarily

living all down the line, Dr. Ruth
A. Allen, professor of economics
at the University of Texas, be
lieves.
"For those who were unem
ployed and who have come into
employment as result of the
great war industrial expansion,
the standard of living has cer
tainly improved," she declared.
"But for those who were already
employed and whose wages have
been only increased to some ex
tent, the standard has not risen
appresiably because the cost of
living has been going up mora
rapidly than wage increase
rates."
Altho the total American wage
payment Is larger now than ever,
Dr. Allen pointed out, this is
because there is the greatest
number of people working, not
necessarily because the pay rates
have been tremendously in
creased. This, however, Is a regular ef
fect shown by the recovery
