A True Test of the Gals . . .
The time has come when Nebraska's coeds will be judged
by authoritative, expert male opinion not that of UN men
who have prejudiced themselves thru the years,' but by the air
corps trainees just moved on the campus who will "review"
a part of the coed population Saturday night.
Who better can judge the beauty, brains and personality
of Nebraska's female population! Who belter can determine
whether the opinion of Uod Scott the recent letter writer who
couldn't figure out why Helen Johnson was typical of UN's
not so pretty coeds is a valid one!
So make your appointments at ihe beauty parlor gals, take
out that party dress you've been saving, have it cleaned, sharpen
your wits, and practice up on your charm.
The true, fair test is coming?
Are you fair and pretty maids from Nebraska?
Or is Helen Johnson typical of what you are not?
Daily Breaks Tradition
The Daily Nebraskan breaks tradition today, for here it is
April Fool's Hay, and there are none of the usual wild, fan
tastic stories, with little references here and there reminding
readers of the occasion, on the front page.
The reason: There is just nothing particularly funny about
the times ; besides after examining the wild stories of past years,
all staff members feared what they considered unbelievable
today might prove quite real shortly.
One of the most fantastic stories of last Fool's day paper
was the one about the army taking over the facilities of the
Union. Unbelievable then, students see plenty of khaki around
the Union during the eating hours.
Then the Nebraska sports editor of several years ago got
& big laugh out of his amazing story. It had to do with the
transfer of Biff Jones to active duty, so he could take over
athletics at West Toint. Biff Jones is now athletic director
of West Point.
Of course, not all of the amazing stories of the past have
come true. Blaine Sloane, junior in law college, for example,
w still free despite a story in the Daily a few years ago that
he had been arrested by the FBI on a charge of espionage.
The staff thought about printing screaming headlines that
aTl of the faculty quit or that everybody in school gets a degree,
but such things aren't funny now. As a matter of fact, there
are few fantastic stories that would be funny.
So we here on the editorial pages where fewer people read
and thus few will become as excited as if this had been an
nounced in screaming headlines it mav be revealed:
"THE WAR IS OVKR."
April Fool!
Unfortunately!

Student Union. April 1. Union
Director Bob Sinkey made this
statement to the press today:
"This is not a paying racket. I

any returns. Here I'm selling
those gigantic cheese-burgers for
20 cents and still no money comes
in. Jeez, I give up!'
