Crib Tells
'Peculiar
Requests9
BY GHITA HILL.
. Ed, Bob, Roily, Bernie, Leo,
Rush, Nakata, Laverna, and
Mary Jane they are the people
who serve in the Corn Crib at
the union every day.
They know the menus upside
down, but occasionally they
meet up with "peculiar re
quests" or perhaps it Is pe
culiar customers?"
The fountain help had to hold
council meeting one day when
a waiter with a puzzled expres
sion on his face, inquired,
"What's a demitasse? I've got
an order for one."
An unusual demand, to say
the least, was the order for
"toast buttered around the
edges." And then there was the
lady who insisted on half a glass
of water and if the amount
given was over the designated
measure, the waiter was asked
to take back and pour out the
gratis amount.
It's Different!
To ask for a peanut butter
sandwich or a tomato sandwich
is much too common for some
individuals, so in order to vary
their favorite food, they ask for
a peanut shake or a tomato
shake Variety is the spice of
life, they say no reports were
given as to the length of life
of these two customers.
"I'll have
the earnest
three beers," was
request one day.

Union Dance
Honors UN
Servicemen
Saturday evening, Jan. 22, will
find military trainees and their
dates flocking to the Union ball
room to hear Dave Haun and his
orchestra swing out from 9 to 12
p. m. in honor of all servicemen
stationed on the campus.
Former dances for military
units have been held at the coli
seum, and this dance will initiate
the new idea of holding sessions in
the ballroom. Another new feature
of the dance this Saturday will be
additional hostesses. Formerly,
Lincolnettos served as hostesses,
but university coeds have been in
vited to serve in that capacity
also.
Military trainees, possessing
Union membership cards, and their
dates will be admitted free of
charge. Any STAR'S wishing to
attend may do so at 25c a couple.
As was predicted in the last edi

UN Alumnus Features
675 Years of History9
January's issue of the Nebraska
Alumnus featured "Seventy Five
years of History," which is both
a verbal and pictorial review of
the university's growth. This ar
ticle alone caused the sale of over
5,000 additional copies.
"Seventy Five Years of His

ress from its one building, U hall
and a faculty of seven, to an or

"A stamp a day puts a Jap
away!"
One ten cent stamp, purchased
by all students every day until
February 18, will put this univer
sity among the list of organiza
tions which have successfully done
their part in the national fourth
War loan drive, launched Jan. 18.
The War Council has set the
goal at $2,000 for this drive. In
order to beat the previous semes
ter's total sales in war stamps
$4,000, students will have to go
over the top and purchase at least
$3,000 in stamps.
If each student buys a ten cent
stamp each day or a total of $3 for
the entire month, the latter goal
can be reached. Three dollars is
a small sacrifice for each student
to make for tl;ir brothers, fath
ers and sweethearts across the sea.
Semester Total Is $1,115.
As a preliminary to the exten
sive drive, the highest sales this
semester for one day was made
last Wednesday, when Tassels an
nounced $180.15 had been pur
chased in stamps by university
students. This boosts the semester
total to $1,115.90.
Stamp Sold Daily.
Tassels and special-committee
students are selling stamps every
day this week in Andrews, Sosh
and the Union. Campus sales will
then be discontinued during exams
and resumed Jan. 31, the first day
of the new semester.
Further plans 'for the last half
of the drive will be revealed in the
first issue of the Nebraskan next
semester. Posters and slogans
concerning the drive are on display
in buildings and houses on the
campus.
