War Effort Still
Preceeds Pleasure
Hie gripers arc at it again. These little jeop1e and wc
roecm little from a nientel rather than physical viewpoint--Hcein
always to have something to lament, about 1 hoi r own al'r
f:iits iihout their friends' affairs, about national affairs, or
jvst alxnit all affairs in general. This time it's about Thanks
giving and no vacation.
Say 1 he gripers, v illi characteristic near-sightedness, 'J Most
everyone will go borne anyway, why can't Hie faeulty give us
four day off instead of just one!" And so, it seems, their rea
soning is that just beeause a Jot of people d something they
.shouldn't the university offieials should sanction the action.
JJeasons for not having a Thanksgiving vacation this year
destdve into just one: It is unpatriotic to travel any iore tha-n
absolutely necessary. Students' trips home inbetween summer
and t'hrislmas are unnecessary, and would serve to jam traits
puliation facilities even more than usual. There are already too
many people who must, journey from place to place by bun oi
train than there is traveling space to go around.

By Bob Gillam
The co-cperation among the.
United Nations thai has proved
so effective on the battle Fields of
the world in recent day has at
last been extended into Use confer
ence rooms and to consideration
of post-war problems. The docu-!
ments issuing from the- Moscow
conference might well be the most
important of Ibis generation.
The United Nations evidently
realize that one of the greatest
mistakes in settling the problems
of the world after the last war
was the policy of waiting until the,
Germans were beaten before making-
any plans for co-operation.
After the fighting was over the
Allies drifted apart and quarreled
among themselves over problems'
and procedure. The United States1
decided to ignore all European
problems end refused to accept!
the responsibilities of membership
in the League of Nations. Great
Britain demanded protection and
extension of the Empire. France
rtCuaed to disarm unless the U.S.
and Britain pledged themselves to
help in her protection and when
Siich reassurance was not forth
coming she would not allow any
reduction in land forces. Italy an-i
Jsnan, after holding up reduction
of naval armaments, soon started
j policies of aggression under
n.ilitry dictatorships. All of these
nations either didn't want the
IHgue to work or they did not
want to use the necessary forces
to mnUe it function.
Post-War Planning.
The Moscow Pact shows that
the United Nations are planning
for the post-war world now when
they are as united as they will
tver be. Even if the committments
are not followed to the letter, at
least a spirit of common action
h's manifested itself.
On the war fronts, the Russians
"continue to win the war almost
single handed. They are within 40
miles of the rail junction of Ni
kolsev. The capture of this city
wnnlri cut the remalninc rail lines
leading ftom the Dnieper, cutting
off as many as a minion nasi sol
diers. The 90,000 Germans trapped
in the- Crimea are being attacked
from the north and west, and a
mass evacuation may soon be at-
temotcri.

Dear Editor:
There's no account in' for some people's

they havin' some kind of a pretty gal con
test, another one of them government alpha
bet affairs ASPT or something' well any
way, nobody even put my gal up, and I'm kind
of disgusted with this here rag. Suzie'd fhow
up any of these Nebraska eo-cds. She sort a
makes men swoon, when she looks at them
with them prelty crossed eye of hen nun
go wild alnuit her, let ne tell you. And v.hen
it comes to them long pig tails of hers, you
jest can't match them anyplace it ' softer
than any old horse's tail yon ever siwed. You
see a lot of fuss made over ga's with nice
fceth in Ihcni magazines yen should oiidit to
see Su.ie's. And they'll be even bctttr when
she fishes her store-bought ones out of 'he wi ll
ihey sort of fill up ihe empty spaces. 1 gotta
admit Sir.ie's figger ain't none too eood- lnit
you gotta taken ii.lo account that she only got
as fur as the fourth jirade in school. And you
should see Sur.ie nil dMed up she's pretty ns
u pil cher.
Well now, sceiiig's as tin m there army nu n
didn't even cet good gander at my Suzie,
1 think thct she'd make a god one of thcs.
here Slocking f! iris and anyway, she could
use a new pair Vause be wore holes in the
