Under the supervision of Pat Lahr, newly appointed di rector of the Union, various typos of special entertainment have been planned for the coming semester Juke box dances in the main ballroom will be a regular featnrv for Friday night fun. Whenever nrorchestra may be engaged, Saturday night will be devoted to orchestra dances which will be open to all students and service men stationed on the campus. Variety Shows. creased subscription have made it necessary to cut the number of is sues to three a week but there is still a daily coverage of all cam pus news and the staff works daily. Alumnus Survey Indicates Student Religious Attitude ...As Favorable Sunday entertainment will in clude shows, plays, concert, and lecture series. The shows to be presented will include not only the Eighty percent of the Nebraska students who participated in a survey to determine the extent of religious interest in educational institutions expressed a favorable attitude, according to an article Dr. O. H. Werner, professor of principles of education, in the September issue of the Nebraska Alumnus. Dr. Werner's survey included 1,563 students, 60 percent of whom attend church services reg ularly. It showed that student pastors and religious organisa tions were popular because of their support of welfare groups. Religion and Education. "The survey," said, Dr. Wer ner, "indicates how the admin istration, students, faculty, and religious workers may co-operate in making religion a still more constructive force in the educa tional activities of the univer sity." Miss Jo Ann Kinsey of Lincoln was mentioned in the Alumnus as having been made assistant editor last May when John Jay Doug' lass was activated under the R. O, T- C program.

Norman Peterson con tradicts himself, for, first, he said that the girls here in Lincoln are the best he fcaa ever run into (literal?), then he says they could be more sociable, after all, the cadets aren't poison! Illinois gave us John Balles and John Balles givts us his 'okay.' He thinks our women measure up to Big Ten standards, but he does think some cf the freshmen and sophomore lend an air of pseudo sophistication. His friend, Francis Dooley, a Massachusetts man, has decided that in comparison to the other states the Cornhusker girls are a great deal more sociable. From Wisconsin we have Gerald Sanderson, who really appreciates the entertainment the girls have provided . . . rehearsed or im promptu ? "The ones I've seen are mighty fine," drawled Ttxan Willie Mey er, but Richarrf Peck, hailing from Illinois, wouldn't committ himself, because he doesn't know any of the girls yet. Reger Krakow from Davenport, la., rates us next to Iowa State girls, and he says they're marvelous. Bill Gough, of Kansas, grinned when he told how nice and numerous the girls are around here. He enjoys them im mensely. Melvin Kandetl, New Yorker, said, quote, "Not bad . . . Never seen so many girls on one campus before!" . . . unquote. Then, Jack Pierce with a drawl from .Atlanta, Georgia, .said 'Swell," John Hod gins, a Wyoming wolf, feels there are plenty of fine women tearing around, and Charles Ostenik, who is from New Jersey and who prob ably has been standing in front of the dorm, believes everything tie has seen just left kindergar ten. And, last but not least we have J. H. Nix, who had a clouded brain from living in Pittsburgh. He thought the whole affair over and came to the sensible conclu sion that Nebraska women could be more friendly. If you think that this is where the story ends, you're wrong . . . More and more fellows will be training on our campus, and men will always look at the campus sites . . . Why not try to make their impressions favorable and permanent? Servicemen Get UN Courses All Over World University of Nebraska corre spondence courses are going all over the world to me in the armed forces. Seventy-nine men in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and the Ma rines are registered for college courses, and 33 for high school courses. The extension division and the United States Armed Forces Institute sponsor the pro gram. Under the USAFI plan, the In stitute pays half the cost of the course, including textbooks. The student pays the other half. A number of universities and col leges are co-operating in making their correspondence courses available by this method to per sons ia the armed forces. University of Nebraska staff members are taking a consider able part in planning and guid-J ing the USAFI program. Dr. G. W. Rosenlof is a permanent mem ber of the advisory committee which meets every six weeks in Chicago. Dr. K. O. Broady was a member of a special committee that served during the summer la evolving a plan to make the program more convenient and usable for the men overseas. Say the Coeds BY GHITA HILL. The army may have taken all men into its fold except those who are "either too young or too old, but it has kindly and thoughtfully returned eligible dating material to the University of Nebraska. Clothing of the male population on the campus is none too original now olive drab, but "They men," say Nebraska women. From one who it seems to us should know, military interviewer, Nina Scott, says that the boys are awfully nice and a lot of fun. When asked what she lik about the soldiers, Jo Ann Mover said, "Their singing. "I think they're adorable," was the opinion of Doris Belzer while Anne Phillips thinks that they are nice to have around. The soldiers remind Shirley Canaday that, this is still a co-educational school which to Jean Hasselbalch adds to the morale of the campus. Those who have met, talked to and dated theie soldiers find them to be gentlemen at most times. Dorothy Brown was called upon as a representative of the Student Union, homing grounds for men in uniform. "They have been very co-operative with us here. They are nice to. work with and they have livened up the dull month of August," Nancy Raymond likes to meet people from different parts of the country and our soldiers hail from all parts. The consensus of opinion as to what the girls think of Nebraska soldiers is "Terrific, "Men are men, so what's the difference," or as Sylvia Bernstein so aptly put it, quote; (one long low whistle); unquote. continue to work in this capacity during the year. Nebraska's football prospects for the year were the subject of feature article in the Septem ber issue. Coach "Lew" Lcwan dowski, head football coach, an swered questions of an Alumnus writer on the football situation. He stated that Nebraska "should do OK this year," and that the average weight of players should be about 185. There are only three veterans back on the squad so the majority of the players will be unknowns, as far as col lege football competition is con cerned, the article stated, but Lewandowski seemed to have con fidence in the way things were working out.

Local Control Sound System Of Eduction . . . Boucher That the American system of local control has made for a more rapid and more nearly sound educational development than would have been possible under centralized federal control, is the belief of Chancellor C S. Boucher. Speaking before the Lincoln Rotary club on Terspective in Education," he conceded that edu cational development has been "uneven and spotted," because of wide differences in local policies, but emphasized that the trend has been definitely upward. Schools must be responsive to changes in organized society, but it is not the "proper business of the school to attempt to bring about such changes," he added. The schools' responsibility in the constant struggle of society for improvement and progress is in turning out well educated citi zens, trained to weigh evidence, to think stia'ht and act intel ligently, he said. already fp-iiliar flickers and other movies, ...t also special variety and benefit performances. Among the plays to be given will prob ably be those connected with the speech department. Such regular services as the Book Nook, table tennis, and the game room will be operated just as in past years: open to an stu dents during Student Union hours. The Music Room may bo used at any time during the hours of 12 to 2 p. m., 4 to 7 p. m. and 7:30 to 9:30 p. m. upon the deposit of identification cards at the Union office. Eating Facilities Changed. The biggest, and at present the only major change, in the facili ties open to the students is tho availability of eating accommoda tions. The cafeteria, known as the Pan American room, the main dining room, and parlors XY3 have been converted into moss halls for the servicemen, but the grill, or Corn Crib, will be avail able to students during open hours for the building. Service men will be exclude! from, the grill during the noon and dinner hours until 6:30 p. m. on week days in ordor to make it possible for more of the civilian students to be served during those hours. On week ends the grill will be available for both groups of students on an equal basis. The commuters club will bo main tained in room 316 for those stu dents who bring their lunches to 6chool. Rooms 313, 315 and 316 will bo available for meetings of all groups, and the faculty lounge may be obtained for small party groups.
