W artime Silence Qjudga, Qwiy, fowd BY JIDCE MASON. A dreary hxid forsaken building rith tall, dignified ghosta travel- sedately through the empty rridora, was the gcene I ex ited to e when asked to ex plore the law college yesterday. ' Considerably awed by the pros- Eect of entering the rooms and alls of this old Nebraska build ing, which had once harbored so many great minds, I walked in with the humble air of a lowly ophomore traversing on hallowed fround. First sight: Ghosts in uniform! Stopped, somewhat astonished, and gaped. Fifty pairs of eyes returned the cape not a word, not a whistle, just silence. Slightly abashed, I escaped up the stairs, nearly knocking down a young high schoolish boy who dis appeared before I recovered. Musty Seats. The second floor of law college was just as I had expected. Deaf ened by silence, I wandered thru the unfamiliar halls, open Ing doors here and there, only to be met by empty smells and musty seats. (This vacancy goes to one's head.) Completely dis couraged. 1 ftarted back down the atairs wnen, to my listening ears Rosenlof Estimates St" dents Including etrvice men now on the campus and those yet to come the enrollment of the university this fall is expected to equal the 4.000 mark of last year, however, definite figures are not available as late registration is still in prog ress. In some fitlds, namely mathe matics, science, and area lan guages, registration is even heav ier than last fall. Consequently the teaching load for faculty members In these departments will be heav ier than in previous years. When all registration has been completed statistics on the enroll ment -of each college and class will be formulated and printed in the Daily Ntbraskan. Women Outnumber Men. It is estimated at the present time that excluding the soldiers the women on the campus will outnumber the men three to one, See ROSENLOF, Page 3. Want a Job? Jobs Waiting For Students How would you like to sit In i chair all dav modellnc for the naintinc class, and earn 40c an hour? Or maybe you would pre fer to be a bus-boy for a similar luni, These and many other Jobs are open to those boys who desire to work while attending achool. I Of course, maybe both of the bovs on the campus not in uni form have jobs, but if they don't, the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs reports that there are many positions open.) Many of the jobs are for week ends in private homes. Jobs for those wishing to work week days on off-school hours are possible in filling stations, theaters, laun dries, libraries, and hospitals. Al though most of these positions re quire no previous experience, there are some for those with special Skills. These include linotyping, printing, secretarial work, and salesmen in stores. Anyone interested in part time work of any kind, apply at the Office of tlie Dean of Student At fairs. came the sound of young voices below. The students of Professor Stepanek's continental novel class were convening. Besides this class, I discovered there are several other classes during the week for UN students and some classes for the. army. The army also holds two hour study periods there every day. It was one of these study periods that I had come upon so suddenly and I found out later that the air crew wasn't quite as serious out of study hall as they seemed to be inside. In fact, the corridors echo with their laughter and foot steps as they scuffle with each other between classes. Library Open. The well equipped law library is not entirely deserted. At least I am told by Dean Oldfather that it is open for the army boys to use in studying area and language. I, myself, got lost in there so didn't investigate the matter fur ther. Altho the number of classes have dwindled considerably from days of old and the jovial army atmosphere is new to the old college, we are at least glad to know that someone is there to keep the building company until the day when the law students can return.

The front section of the dirc- tory is devoted to a list of faculty Army Men Eat-and How! BY POLLY PETERSON. Are you hungry all the time? Do you have all your vitamins every day, excluding Bob Hope? Do you think steals are things hung in museums which you can show to your grandchildren and say, "I had one of those once?" Do you think of only your girl's lipstick when someone mentions "six delicious flavors?" You do? Then join the army, for nothing is too good for the army!! Lend us your ear, and we will tell you a sample of what these army men eat. Elsie Work Hard. Eloie and her family supply 3,000 half pints of milk in addi tion to the milk used for cooking, not to mention their overtime when they produce 75 to 85 pounds of butter. This gives these air Vol. 85, No. 4 Frosh Convo Emphasizes Close Campus Co - The first freshman class to en-1 ter university under a full time war schedule in this war assem bled for their annual convocation yesterday in the coliseum. Emphasis on this fact and on the close cooperation needed on the campus for a successful year was the keynote of the convoca tion sponsored by the Innocent and Mortar Board Societies, sen ior men's and women's honoraries, and Tassels, women's pep organ ization. Frosh, about 300 6trong, filed in behind the Tassels, who led a rally to the convocation. Frosh caps and beanies were conspicuous by their absence, but as one mem ber of the class of '47 muttered, "This isn't a year for foolishness." Henderson Presides.

Part of the cost of the directory is supported by advertising and the remainder comes from the 50c charge per copy. Cards signed during registration will be used" in making up the directory, and as soon as the student list is com pleted, typewritten copies will be placed in the union and at ag col lege so that students may check them for mistakes. Lost Anything? Union Possibly Has It Located Have you lost anything lately? If so the Union has probably found it. Since last week the Union has collected all kinds and descriptions of lost articles. Keys seem to be the most frequently misplaced items. There is a ring of about fifty or so keys which have no owner apparently and do not open doors in the Union. There is also a set of car keys. Other articles left or lost in the Union include a winter coat and a cosmetic kit. men vitamin A the vitamin which makes them "better to see you, my dear!" Although it may sound like "it can't happen here," these men will have a 12 ounce T-bone steak on Sunday. On other days they use approximately 750 pounds per day which accounts foi the farmer's theme song, "How You Going to Keep Them Down on tha Farm." Army Beans. Of course, it wouldn't be army without baked beans, but they are only, served every 10 or 12 days. On these days 160 pounds fills every plate even to seconds. Lemon pie, bananas and fried chicken cause almost as much excitement as would Betty Grable even to the whistles, but when they sea ham you would think Lincoln, Nebraska husker oath, thus departing from tradition in one more way. For years Colonel Frankforter has had this duty, but he has been called to active service for the duration. Mortar Board President Rachael Ann Lock welcomed frosh in be half of the student body, and stressed the importance of co-op eration between not only the stu dents, but between students and instructors, and between students and the army units stationed here. Frosh were also encouraged to be come "really acquainted" with their teachers this year, in a brief talk by T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs. Offer Activities. Chancellor C. S. Boucher stated that character, personality, health and academic training were the attainments to be sought in col lege life. He also reminded frosh of the many extra-curricular ac tivities offered on the campus. Highlight of the hour was Col. Frosh Coeds Attend Party In Ellen Smith Coed Counselors began the year's entertainment for the fresh men women last night, when they entertained their little sisters at a party from 7:30 to 8:30 in El len Smith hall. Main enter tainment of the evening con sisted of group singing by the entire group. Catherine Wells, president of the Coed Counselors, in troduced the board members and also all the Lincoln Journal. junior and Wells, sophomore big sistets to the fresh men women.

What a coincidence- hams! 117 Cooks. "Too many cooks spoil the broth" isn't true in this case There are 117 who help in the feeding of the men. In charge are Miss Iner White, Miss Rosa Knickrehm and Miss Esther Watson.- Many amusing Incidents have occurred as one night at 8 o'clock, which is the dining room's closing hour, 85 men came march ing in singing "We want supper, They got itl These men have the best that is obtainable, but just as civilians, their menu is controlled by ration ing even tho it sounds like their every w;:.h is fulfilled. 3V I I Friday, September 24, 1943 operation J. P. Murphy's reminder to stu dents attending a university also stationing army units that "Wolves haven't changed since grandfather's time, but they don't show their teeth anymore, and that there are just as many Lit tle Red Riding Hoods as there are wolves!" Colonel Murphy went on to say that there is an exceptionally fine bunch of service units on this campus. He also announced that there will be a small but select ROTC unit this year, .and that there will be an ROTC Band again this year. Informality between instructors and the office of the dean of wom en and students was emphasized by Mrs. Verna Boyles, dean of women, wno extended an invita tion to all freshmen women to the dean's open house this afternoon in Ellen Smith. Musical selections were played by the Freshman Band under the direction of Donald A. Lentz, uni versity band director. Uni Theater Uses Frosh Talent Mainly Theater plans for this year de pend entirely on freshman inter est, according to Dr. Leroy Laase, chairman of the speech depart ment. He said that the depart ment will endeavor to carry through the regular program of dramatics, debate and radio, and that present plans call for con tinuation of last year's program. No varsity men returned to the debate "squad this year, making it all the more important for freshman boys to take an inter est in this activity, Laase said. He continued. "If small colleges with two or three hundred stu dents, a little over half of them men, have been able to carry on speech programs, surely the uni versity with a good number of freshmen men should be able to carry out a regular schedule." Any students, especially men, interested in radio broadcasting or extensive radio work should contact the radio department. Stu dents interested in university theater should see Berne W. Ens lin, and debate enthusiasts mar see Dr. Laase. Coeds To Fold Bandages For Red Cross University surgical dressing groups sponsored by the YWCA and headed by Mrs. John Curtiss, have a goal of ten thousand band ages to be reached by the end of November as the work of this war group is started again.
