DAILY NEBRASKAN
Wednesday, October 20, 1943
The year 1940. The place
UN, a sorority house. The time
8 o'clock on a Saturday night.
Action.
A smooth-looking cream-colored
Ford convertible eases to a stop in
front of the house, honks its horn
three times, and emits a dapper
young man dressed in a tan sports
coat, dark brown trousers, white
shirt, maroon bow tie, and saddle
shoes. He strolls up to the door,
leans on the doorbell, and casually
lights his pipe as he waits for
someone to let him in. After a
couple of minutes, a pretty face
surrounded with hair and curlers
appears at a second floor window
and hollers down, "Hi, Bud. Go
on In and make yourself comfort
able, I'll be down in a little while."
Our hero, tired after a hard game
of football that afternoon, (trounc
ing Iowa State, 21 to 12 on the
way to the Rose Bowl remem
ber?) walks in, flicks on the ra
dio, and stretches out on the
couch.
One of the coeds comes in the
front door, sees Bud lazing on the
couch, and calls in "Nice game to
day, Bud; does Betty know you're
here?" He drawls out an "Uh huh,
thanks," and finds himself all
alone again.
Oh, What to Do!
Thirty-five minutes later Betty
bounds down the stairs.nninus the
curlers, and finds Bud sound
asleep on the couch. She wakes
him up and says, "What'll we do
tonight, honey?" Bud yawns, and
suggests, "Well, Les Brown's out
at the Turnpike, and we're having
a dance over at the house. Of
course, if you'd like, we could go
for a little ride out in the coun-
' try it's a beautiful night. And I
had the car radio fixed this "morn
ing, too. What'll it be?"
"Let's drop in at the Turnpike
and see who's out there. Then
maybe we could go for a ride aft
erwards. You must be tired to
night after that wonderful football
game, dear. Golly, our football
team sure is doing swell this year.

The year 1943. The place
UN, a sorority house. The time
7:30 on a Saturday night. Action.
"De-tail halt!" A group of a
half-dozen or so soldiers stop and
reconnoiter. "Is this the place?
I'm not sure uh yep, they're
having a dance in there. Scouts
out! Forward men." They're all
dressed quite similarly 0. D.
shirts, O. D. blouses, O. D. trous
ers, and those spacious G. I. clod
hoppers. As they walk up to the
door, it opens and reveals about
a dozen attractive coeds inside,
waiting for the appearance of
some men. "Come on in boys
here, let me take your caps!
Would you like to dance ? So glad
that you could come. Where are
you from? Yes, I'm from Ne
braska. No, not Lincoln forty

ly from other sections of the coun
try, are quite amazed by the
course of events. "Gee, they're all
so friendly, and they don't treat
us like a pack of wolves say, this
is all right."
"Too bad about the football
game this afternoon," one buck
private ventures, "didn't you used
to have real good teams out here ?
Seems to me I've heard of Ne
braska. Did they play in the Rose
Bol a couple of years ago?"
All of the girls of the sorority
have been ready since 7:15, wait
ing for the soldiers to show up.
They haven't heard a car horn,
other than a taxi, honk in front
of the house for months. The
Turnpike that's where all of the
kids used to go after a football
game on Saturday night no, it's
a very occasional treat. A foot
ball team that used to bowl over
most of its opposition without too
much trouble, now finds itself
out-classed by those same teams.
Remember When?

night to go for a ride in the
country?" "Ych," says Joe, "What
on? Horseback? Remember the
good old days? Gee, I used to
have civvies and my station
wagon, and whip into Atlanta
every Saturday night to a dance
or something that was the life."
And Betty dreams of that ride in

of years ago and thinks of how
