For Defense Work
Defense needs you.
Lincoln needs you.
The war effort needs you. . . .
Students h;ive been offered a elisinee to lake part in some
of tlie assembly line work. Miiybe. if enough workers are guar
anteed, Lincoln will be the site of two new defense industries.
"War Council is asking all eoeds and men who ean find four
hours at any lime each day to sign up for the work, to begin
any time the first part of the year or after May I.
This is an opportunity so far not open to students on the
campus, and besides providing extra money for war stamps
and bonds, defense work will allow them to do work that's
different. IJosie the riveter is a glamorous creature nowadays.
U.Vstudents may have a chance to be a Ifosic (though cleaner
work is promised the kind at which school clothes can be
worn ).
New war industries will help build up Lineoln as an in
dustrial community ... So students, here's your cfTance! Any
one who isn't already working can find four hours a day to
work in a defense industry.
Dear Santa Claus:
I am getting tired of playing- with paper dolls and want a
real-life dolly all my own. My faith, in you, dear Santa, would
be much renewed if I should find a cute little blond dolly
peeping out of my Christmas stocVing. She must be vivacious,
aiming and demuring. She must excel at dancing as well as
romancing and must be mine alone. All in all she must be one
cuddlesome Christmas package a preview of which I hope to
find at the Mortar Board Christmas Ball.
Dear loyal-hearted and palriolic-
inindcd fellow eoeds:
"Three hours out of each lhS to be devoted
to war work" was the brain child presented
last spring by the university coeds who ear
nestly desired to do some little bit during their
enlleo-o venr of self indiik'ence. eokinir and
smoking, to assist in the general war effort.
This fall the plan r.gam Mas inaugurated and
received with the usual indifference Ihe stu
dents give to any worthwhile plan that offers
work but no particular glory. The eoeds signed
up for the various activities because they
thought they had to.
One hundred girls agreed to assist in the
addressing and wrapping of special Daily Ne
braskans to be sent to former UN students
now serving the country in the armed forces.
One hundred girls volunteered to contribute
a couple of hours on Thursday, Friday, or Sat
urday, and about half an hour every other
Tuesday night to this university war work.
Of this respectable-sized group of one hun
dred, sixty showed up to type the addresses
and supplement the file cards. Of this sixty,
twenty appeared on Tuesday night to finish
the job. by folding, wrapping, and preparing
the papers for mailing. Plenty of girls were
willing to sign up to assist, a few were even
willing to begin the work, but when it came
to the follow-up. to completing their share of
the whole, less than one-fifth of the group
were willing to cooperate.
Cooperation is a principle we have had
drilled into us since before kindergarten days,
but it seems we still have to learn our lesson.
The lack of it in a university makes one won
der if we shall ever learn to assume our share
of responsibility, to work with others to get
the job done. If everyone had cooperated, it

Suzanne tpofisi
Suzanne Pope likes to "fiddle with a fid
dle" for relaxation, but it's for sure she won't
be doing a Xero if there is anything hot goin$
on around the campus. For such a little girl,
and a sophomore at that, "Suzy" gets around

violin in the university orchestra.
Suzanne has a pair of dimples that show
off to best advantage in the smile she has for
everyone and it has been said that iter co
workers have never seen her mad. Staying
cheerful these days sounds like a full lime

would have taken less than half an hour to
do the work, but as it was, the few reliable
girls worked for several hours and were un
able to finish.
If the war work of the nation as a whole
were carried on in the make-shift fashion of
this university, the war would soon be over

entire land, and suggested that a
moment of silence be observed In
commemoration of all students
who have died in preserving the
freedoms which have been theirs
to enjoy.
