Powarp Discussion
... In Union Today
Rev. Mr. Gerald Kennedy, pas
tor of St. Paul's Methodist church
will deliver the last in the series
of post-war planning discussions
this afternoon at 4:30 in the Union
faculty lounge.
His topic will be "Religion Pre
pares for a Just and Durable
Peace." This will be the last of
the Powarp foroum scheduled in
the series which began on March 3.
The Powarp, which got its start
in the east, wa3 created to stim
ulate student thought on planning
for conditions after the war.
Faculty members here decided,
after hearing several 10 minute
talks on the subject, that such a
plan would be advantageous to
students on this campus.

Fugitive From 'The Spots 9 Tells
Of UN's New De-Activated Army
BY A QUARANTINED
(The following is an eye-witness account of the
daily activities of Nebraska's coedj imprisoned
within the dormitory because of an epidemic of
scarlet fever. It was written by a victim of the
quarantine and smuggled, via messenger, to the
Daily Nebraskan office.)
Ah spring vacation. Only it would be nice
if we could get out to enjoy it. The question
of the day has shifted from " Where arc you
going tonight?" to "Jiow do you spell quaran
tine t" The symptoms of scarlet fever arc
known to every girl in the dorm, and she gen
erally believes she has them or will have to
morrow. At first there was panic and hysteria.
Scarlet fever strikes swiftly when you expect
it least. I'Var gave way to a gay, holiday spirit.
CJirls with rooms on second floor Raymond
llall laughingly packed their things and mov
ed to otlier parts of the dorm in order that
their floor might be used as an isolation ward.
An outsider might have thought the girls were
going on a spring vacation as they walked
thru the halls carrying tennis rackets, bathing
suits and sun glasses. The only incongruous
note was that most girls carried a bottle of
gargle. The favorite pastime is seeing who can
make the funniest noises gargling.
Flank Windows.
One thing the girls have got (besides a
vacation with sleep) is a suntan. There's noth
ing else to do but sleep or lie in the sun. Com
The open discussions which fol
low each talk have been inaugur
ated to provide new thoughts and
ideas on the subject that the
speaker may have failed to bring
out in his main discussion.
Speakers who have appeared
on the forum are Dr. H. C. Vede
ler; Dr. E. S. Fullbrook; Dr. J. C.
Hcrtzler; Dr. Norman Hill; and
Dr. W. E. Militzer.
The forums are sponsored joint

Former Senator George W,
Norris will be the featured speak
er Thursday night at the Student
Union, coincidental with the an
nual meeting of the Nebraska
History Teacher's association, con
tinuing over the week-end. His
topic will be, "America's Role in
Post-War Reconstruction."
Under the auspices of the uni
versity post-war planning com
mittee, headed by former Dean J.
E. Le Rossignal, Norris was
brought to the campus to open
the regular sessions of the history
teacher's meetings, which will
continue through April 9 and 10.
Due to war-time conditions and
the present military demands at
the campus, the Friday evening
and Saturday forenoon sessions
will be held at the Hotel Corn-,
husker. This is due, stated Union
officials, to the fact that the staff
assisting in preparing and serv
ing food is not now sufficient to
handle much more than neces
sary since the army units hava
arrived.
Regular meetings, requiring no
food will be held as scheduled.
