DAILY NEBRASKAN
BY JIDGE MASON.
The combination of scarlet
fever and anticipated activation
has resulted in an extremely dull
campus as far as social life is
concerned which is probably for
the better.
In spite of the lull, picnics still
remain the outstanding activity
of the night. Some of the Delta
Sigs and their dates, Indulging in
this favorite sport Wednesday
night were: Warren Jeffrey and
Gwen Skoglund, DG, Theta Patty
Pierce and Clyde Irwin and Chi O
Dorothy Black and Harlan Cul
well. Entertainment was provided
by Walt Morrison and Jim Fergu
son who, after falling in the creek,
spent the rest of the evening in
front of the fire trying to get dry,
We have just learned of a few
social rules on the campus which
forces us to cut out a good part
of our planned news in order to
keep our friends out of trouble, so
please bear with us.
At this point we intended to in
sert a few picnics and plans for
the week end, but until someone
revolts against the iron hand that
rules us we will have to use our
imaginations. We're not referring
to the scarlet fever ban, we up
hold it wholeheartedly.

Friction between the ATO's

2,600,000 Enter Plants in '42 . . .
Women War Workers Prove
Their Worth in Defense Jobs
chief complaint The eye-catching
quality of a tight sweater is not
appreciated in war plants nor Is
long hair which may catch in
moving machinery jewelry, which
may do the same, or open-toed
shoes which do not protect the
feet. Some plants require uni
forms, but in those that do not,
slacks and a short-sleeved blouse
seem to be the approved costume.
Untidiness at the work bench
and trading on femininity occa
sionally prove to be problems, but
these can be largely eliminated
thru training and intelligent man
agement. More serious is the
question of absenteeism which,
altho it involves men as well as
women, is apt to be more of a
problem for those women who
must do the family shopping and
arrange for care of their children.
Women college students .plan
ning to enter war production work
this summer have reason to be
grateful to the 2,600,000 women
workers who entered industry dur
ing 1942. These pioneers, accord
ing to a survey released by the
office of war information, have
proved their worth and thus
smoothed the way for the millions
more who must follow them.
Despite the occupational haz
ards they might have introduced
into war plants sweaters, flowing
locks and long finger nails the
ladies have demonstrated once and
for all that they have mechanical
ability and that they can adjust
themselves to the speed, noise and
other strains inherent in industrial
work.
On the debit side, unsuitable
clothing seems to have been the
