All Ideas expressed in the editorial columns of the Nebraskan
are those of the editor unless otherwise indicated. They may or
may not reflect student opinion.
Prairie Schooner
Ranks High in U.S.
"Winds rolling softly o'er the plains, ley Masts sweeping
oVr the plains. Moistureless blasts sweating o'er the plains.
Nebraska has everything in the way of weather.
It also has the Prairie Schooner a magazine for which
the university is extremely well-known, outside of the state
even more than in it. Published quarterly, the Schooner
specializes in short stories, essays and poetry. It is brilliantly
edited by Dr. L. C. Wimberly, author of several books and
professor in the English department.
Features of the quarterly are contributed by writers such
as Jesse Stuart. Mnri SantToz. Frank Luther Mott, and Doro
thy ('anfield Fisher. Hitherto unknown authors also write for
the magazine, and students at UN quite often have their works
published.
Surviving the drouth of the 1930's was a feat accom
plished by the Schooner when numerous other books of com
parative caliber folded up. Scribners discontinued publication
but the Prairie Schooner made its seventeen years of existence
continuance.
In July, 1943, the Reader's Digest published A. C. Ed
wards story "Ain't No Deer" from the Schooner. Time mag
azine recently carried an article on Editor Wimber's find
ings on Mark Twain. Altogether the Schooner is one of the
best known features of the university, particularly in the
east.
Schooner praise from many places is good publicity for
the University of Nebraska, and anything that deserves such
rare prestige deserves the support of students.
ne dollar isn't much lor so many interesting stories
literature, truely, but definitely not high-brow. Prairie Schoon
er subscriptions make good Christmas presents. They also make
good reading for yourself. So the Tassels and Theta Sigma
Phi members are selling them !
Parade of Opinion ...
When are you going into the Army? How do you manage
to stay in school? Why aren't you in uniform?
These questions invariably renew the fierce b;:ttle that has
already leen fought within the individual who is not in uni
form. Of course, he tells why he it-; still in school. He is either
doing pre-medical, pre-ehemical, pre-lheorlo-ical or some other
work for which the government has seen fit to defer him. A
few are under the age limit, and still others are 4-F's.
Students deferred for si u lies are as much a part of the
war effort as soldiers. If this were not true, ihere would be no
deferments. Hut still many continue to call this group of I'liiled
States citizens draft dodgers. These people must awaken to
the realization that trained and educated leaden are needed
now and will be needed immediately following the end of the
conflict. Now they are needed, and not three or four years alter
the war. These students must fjght this constant battle while
at the same time doing added work in the speeded up educa
tional program.
So, whenever you are tempted to make a satirical state
ment, when you are ready to think of these students as draft
dodgers, remember thnt they are sensitive, a tender spot for
thU envolving 'issue.
(Jive (then encouragement, five the strength. They need
it!

When "Cac" Curley came to the university last
year as a freshman, she was just "little sister" to
Janet Curley, AWS president and Mortar board. But
it took Cac just no time at all to make her own
impression as Catherine Curley, individual, needing
in the world.
This year, as a sophomore, s
Cac is right in there pitching.
She was elected to Tassels this
fall, but recently gave it up to
pledge Alpha Chi Omega. She is
a sophomore member and treas
urer of the Coed Counselor board
as of spring elections last year,
and a hard working YWCA mem
ber. Cac says she specializes in
doing the "dirty work."
Home Economics is her major, and its
most wonderful major in the world" she
When interviewed in her room at the dorm she
was worrying about a box full of potatoes hold
ing the limelight in the middle of her bed. She
explained that they were for the Home Ec dinner
tonight, which was also worrying her for fear
that it wouldn't come out all right. 'I even had
to use my mother's birthday present for a cen
terpiece," she wailed.
This slim brewn-haired girl with laughing eyes
that match her hair, also added that she slaves for
the university extension division just for a little
something to do. She likes food, swimming, pic
nics, and most of all, bicycle riding and the sailor

strictly feminine dresser. The s;iilor, she ex

please have back the picture she loaned to the

really his picture in the first place.
And if Nebraska ever elects a "Sunny-DispDsi-tion
