Save Your News For the Mails For niiiny months now telephone companies over llie coun try have )l;ieed als in prominent places iiskiii? that civilians make as few lung-distance telephone calls as possible, and that Ihey NOT call between the hours of 7 and 10 in the cvtning unless absolutely necessary. The request was made because of the huge amount of military and official transactions which must be carried on by telephone, and because men in the armed services should be piven first chance at calling home. They have only the hours between 7 and 10 to call, as a general rule. Also, there art only a limited number of trunk lines available at all times .from city to city, and new ones can not now be added because of material shortages. University students should cooperate with these officials vho make the requests. Up to now many of theni have been making more long-distance phone, calls in certain halls than ever before. Thinking it over, Ihey will probably realize that to make any not absolutely essential is unpatriotic, and one part of their war effort should be in cutting down. The mails may be slower, hut they won't keep a soldier, perhaps one on the campus, from talking to his home folks i'or the only time in possibly six months. Keep 'Em Entertained It was announced from the dean of women's office today that hour dances of the sororities and organized houses would continue. On Friday nights, coeds will dance with fraternity men, and on Saturday with the soldiers. This is a good idea, from two angles. First, there aren't enough men on the campus in civilian clothes to furnish partners for all the hour dances, hut those that are here should not be neglected. Second, as we pointed out before, the acceptance of the soldiers as pavt of our campus life, and their participation in campus affairs, excluding extra-curricular activities, is only right and should be encouraged. Answers to questions asked the army students stationed here indicate that most of them like to dance, and that they want to meet girls. Also, they like small enough dances where they really get acquainted. Saturday night hour dances are a pood way of bringing this about. Of course other forms of entertainment should not be neglected for dances lasting only; an hour or two, but this is a good start. Lack of Assistants Is New Woe of Professors V . Mail Clippings Pat Chamberlm, Censor UN is well represented at West Point, N. Y., with Col. BIFF JONES, Husker grid coach two years ago, who is in charge of physical training there. LAWRENCE JONES, Biff's son, is a sec ond year, or "yearling," there this year, while Phi Psi JAMES TOWN SEND is doing; his last year, and is known as a third year man, the terror of the plebes. Phi Psi brother JOHNNY COOK is a plebe this year, having entered with the June class. Aside from starving to death during meals when third year men put him thru the paces, and bracing, and other such "Hell Week" tactics, he likes it. But will all brothers and friends send candy bars, Chesterfields, and gum, please! -- Pfc. DAVE MARVIN, BMOC last year, has been transferred from Camp Roberts, Calif., from the infantry to Stanford U. with an ASTP unit, spe cializing in Chinese. This is the only group work ing out the Foochow dialect in the entire country, according to Dave. FRED STAFFORD, graduate of '42, is also stationed at Stanford, in the heart of sorority row. The ASTP unit is quartered in an ex-sorority house in the heart of sorority row. From all re ports, the army is right in there pitching! Pvt. DONALD COULTER, last year, has been traveling about the country this summer, being stationed four months at Camp Robinson, Ark., with the infantry, then being transferred to the signal corps at Camp Van Dorn, Miss. At present he is representing his company along with 14 others at Fort Monmouth, N. J., studying installa tion and repair of telephones and switchboards.

"Usually three or four; none this year." When asked how many assistants they had in their respective departments, these were the comments of D. D. Whitney, head of the zoology department, and of L. W. Lancaster, head of Toly Si. Such conditions exist also in the classics dppartment where there are usua.y two or three assist ants, according to C. G. Lowe. "We need about four or five assistants in the history depart ment. It seems they will have to be underlgraduates," said .Dean Oldiather. In the psychology department, D. W. Dysinger admitted he had a couple of under-graduates as assistants. Fearing pressure on them, however, he refrained from naming them. There are no grad uate assistants. By next Monday or Tuesday the botany department will have one graduate assistant, Miss Ellen Zink. She received her masters last year here at Nebraska and is working on her doctor's degree. Miss Zink will take the place of the usual two or three assistants in the botany department . "DEDUCED drastically by . government order, first choice brands of fountain pens are becoming scarce.
