It's Fun, But It
Serves No Cause
The Student V;ir Council has missed its eaU'mjr some
where si 1 i n the line.
fnstend of eoneenf r;it ing on activities which will help win
the war such as stain) and hond sales, s-rji p drives, I'at drives,
liome nursina: classes the War Council has snnent most of its
efforts on raisiiifi money for soldier entertainment an item al
ready sufficiently taken care of by other groups. They" have
either ignored or regulated to a minor place ihe projects which
should he the main purposes of any student war group.
They started out without a hang, thinking up methods
to reimburse the treasury for parties, which are a lot of fun
to plan, it may be pointed out. but which really have Utile
real part in the war cffoil. Sorority and organized hour dunces.
Student Union parties and shows, and the dances men plan
for themselves provide plenty of morale building for the little
amount of leisure time campus soldiers have. The War Coun
cil has a part in this entertainment in coordinating 1,'incoluette
mid War Council lionesses in providing partners for ihe sol
diers' dances. Vet, ihey don't need to lake anv of the responsi
bility of planning or running ihe parties. Oilier organizations
have already taken care of ihis in their regular programs
which this year include all the students in uniform. Their ef
i'ort here is wasted.
A good heginniim for the War Council last Xrnleinlici
would have been an out ami, out campaign to see how much
Ihe campus could raise in ihe third war loan. Instead, ihe ihird
war hum was quietly and enthusiastically ignored. Students
scarcely knew a new bond sale existed unless they read ihe
newspapers, and ihen they didn't have 1o stop and think about
it. because no one asked them for contributions.
Without a constitution, with little authorized power, with
three-fourths of ihe Council not knowing each oilier or given
a ch, nice to do any work the War Council needs a new leas.'
on life with a new purpose in mind. Up until now it has fur
bished a nice activity for people who wish to feel benevolent
in a pleasant sort of va. We don't doubt hut what these peo
ple will put in .just as much energy onjiinie worthy efforts
than furnishing dances for some of the soldiers some of the
lime and expending work which could better be use to sell
stamps -not once a week, hut ( very day and collecting items
ol' national necessity.
Tin War Council has done a good job of editing: and of
collect and tviiintr names tor the new Nebraskans tor Serv
icemen. Mul ihis is an aetivitv sponsored and financed hv lht
Oaily Xebiaskan not by the War Council. Their contribution
lias been cxcellenl, hut not enough for the whole War Counci
to say they're duintr what they oujrhl to do.
A uala show is now in prospect. Purpose, to raise money
for the War Council. I'urnoxc of raisinir the monev- ihat's
w hat w e'd like 1 o know.
Apparently it's for giving more parties - which if held in
ihe Union can accommodate only a minority of the entire
soYl'.er units, and if held in the coliseum are superfluous, since
Ihe Union is already dedieal'-d to providing eiiterlainment
for t he men. ,
Meetings of the War Council are noteworthily agreeable.
Nothing is ever put to a vote. Only a few people give their
opinions, and a small group reach an opinion supposed to rep-1
resent the whole Council. On such a group surely ihere must;
le a lot more ideas and opinions expressed than are ever,
brought up. More than one. two, or three persons should make:
ihe decisions. Almost everything should be put to a vole, even!
if that vote is unanimous, in order to give every representative,
on the War Council a voice in the Council's actions.
I'.ut primarilv, the Student War Council should begin con-.
eeutr.-.ting on souk purpose other than that of raising money
for themseives. The proposed United War Drive is such a move.
Increased sale of st imps and of bonds, would be another.
Nebraska boys ill the armed services here and abroad van1
Us to do something more necessary than giving unnecessary
part ics for campus units.
With five-week exams descend
ing upon us like the wrath of the
gods, and news as scarce as the
proverbial hens teeth, I approach
this column with much the same
hesitancy that the elderly women,
who, seeking a popular piece of
music for her young nephew,
asked the clerk, "I'd like the piece,
'Lay the Revolver Down, Please.' "
I am as bewildered as she about
the goings-on of the younger gen
eration and offer my apologies to
Michael because he and his are not
given two or three paragraphs in
this col-yum.
My attention during the past
week has been directed toward
this and that, mainly the attempt
of two women's organizations to
break up the women's faction. Or
chids to the powerful 11 and their
cohorts but nielli inks lliey arc
barking up the wrong tree. Me
thinks again that a more appro
priate move would be the revision
ot the rules governing student
election, and a personal pledge by
each "mighty" that ballots will be
counted correctly. Also that anv
student may observe the counting.
But to a lighter topic that's
much more important in the long
run than any campus fall and
spring rukus. Kill Green, dressed
in the little brown suit of the
army, slipped into Lincoln this
summer and left a ring on the
third finger left of Doris Woods,
Towne club.
Jane Fenton, DG, seems quite
lonesome this year. No 'tween
class meetings in soch with Bud
Wein man, DU. Bud's now with
Uncle Sanmiie at Camp Roberts.
Calif., and right now the field ar
tillery is on a bivouac and letters
are scarce and far between.
Sigma Kappas ate sweets Mon
day night and the donors were
Lt. Robert Butterworth and his
lady, the former Rosella Kay Ol
ser, who wore married during the
summer. Lieutenant Butterworth
is stationed at the Air Base.
Kay-det Doings.
Congrats to Gamma Phi pledges
who formally became plcdglings
Friday night, and Hew into the
Union pledge caps and all.
If OCS is so tough, I wonder
how the faction boss of last year
has time to plot campus destiny
this year.
Then there is the little tale about
Sergeant Kinnley (I believe) and
Mr. Thorne, air cadet, who roam
ing about the Union one night
startled a couple of Tri Dolts into
introductions. Yes. the girls were
busy, but got on the phone and
in about '13 minutes two lovely
'sisters appeared as dates for the
men in uniform.
Haven't got a uniform. Just a
pair of odd fee.t and I feel neglected.
