DAILY NEBRASBCAN
Basketbrawl at Nebraska, or You
Have to Know the Came to Like It
BY RUTH KORB.
The band Is violently playing
"There Is No Place Lake Ne
braska," the cheerleaders are on
their feet clapping with great
enthusiasm, the Nebraska team
is running on to the floor in
their scarlet and cream suits, the
Missouri team looks pretty
tough, but the two bewildered
subjects of this article just sit,
and look every bit of their
dumbness. . Sally and Sue have
been to several basketball
games, but never to see the
game. They go merely to see
who's there, and what she is
wearing, or who he has a date
with tonight, the dirty rat!!!
The teams have finished
warming up, and take off their
warming-up suits to begin the
great game. Sally begins to
giggle, almost hysterically.
"Look at those funny men now
why do you suppose they would
want to run around that huge
floor in those silly shorts!! I
should think their legs would
get awfully cold."
The Game Starts.
The two centers are in the
middle of the floor, and the
referee blows his whistle, just
as he tosses the balL The Ne
braska center has control of it,
but, wait!!! Some spectator is
screaming madly, "Foul!!!! He
has to let the ball bounce on the
floor first!" And. naturally, it
is none other than Sally. But, on
one squelching look from the ir- j
ritated audience, she again takes
her seat beside Sue, completely
unabashed. "But, Sue, I read
somewhere that the ball always
has to bounce first!"
Sue, knowing little more about
sports, replies, "That's the for-
ward pass in football, stupid!"
Our gal issues a big round
"Oh," and goes back to the
game. One of the opponents has
the ball, and Dworak, is guard
ing him very closely. So, Sally
stands up, and begins to wave
madly, exclaiming, "Look, Sue-,
he's waving to me at last!!"
As always, the uninterested
spectator enters the picture, and
ours happens to be a large, mid
dle-aged man, who obviously
loves the game. As Sally's last
remark almost punctured his
eardrums, he beomes vicious,
and nastily retorts, "He's not
waving; he's making like a
scarecrow to scare the naughty
crows away."
But Sally is not the one to be
caught napping, and replies,
with a little smirk on her silly
face, "Crows? In this weather?
They have all gone south for the
winter," and triumphantly re
turns to her seat.
Time to Renovate.
And now we have the half
time, which, of course, inter
ested the girls more than the
game. They craned their long
necks, and smoothly applied the
necessary lipstick, leaving long
streaks near their chin, which
passes unnoticed to them. Sue
just saw her dream man with
that "wench" from Teacher's,
and is just a little blue. But
Sally is having the time of her
life, and is all refreshed for the
second half, when it begins.

Cooper, Young
Revisit Campus
Visiting the Nebraska campus
this week were Lt. Max Young,
Kusker eager of last year, and Lt.
Bob Cooper, quarterback on the
Scarlet elevens of '41 and '42. Bob
is with the infantry, and Max with
i& Armored Forces.
I
the second half, and the crowd
goe3 wild. To the dismay of the
uninterested spectator, Sally
goes off on another tangent, and
demands that Al shoot it over
again. After being questioned
as to her last statement, Sally
replies, "Well, I'm taking physi
ology and Doctor Lyman wants
us to observe the beautiful co
ordination of an athlete." Sue
snickers, and smiles to herelf,
because she knows why Sally
really wants to see the shot over
again, to observe the, ahm, co
ordination, but the reason is
strictly personal.
And, now the score is close,
both teams are a little worn out,
and the crowd is getting wilder
and wilder. So, the Missouri cap
tain calls time out, and the
teams retire to different sides of
the floor. The ever-present towel
is thrown to them, and Sally,
sitting there with her big mouth
hanging, asks, "Aren't they the
cleanest boys? Imagine stop
ping a game to wash your
face!"
But the whistle drowns her
out, and the game continues.
Just before the final gong, Hol
lins takes a slight- spill, and
Sally is half way out of her seat
before he can pick himself off
the floor. She is determined to
praclice on "the poor little
boy" with her new first aid
Campus
knowledge. But as she reaches
the floor, the final gong sounds,
and her chance is lost.
Leaving the coliseum, I over
heard Sally remarking to Sue
that she was glad she knew so
much about basketball, because
she would never be able to ap
preciate it otherwise.
Home Nursing
Classes Begin
On An
Ag college war council will
sponsor the first ag home nursing
class of the year to begin Satur
day, February 19.
The first meeting will be held at
9 a. m. atlinton school,. At that
time the girls attending will decide
whether to have the 18 or the 24
ween course ana will make a
choice as to when future meetings
will be held.
Each girl will receive a Red Cross
home nursing certificate upon
completion of the course, which
may be counted as regular war
work. The war council feels that
the work should prove especially
valuable to any future teachers
and extension workers who may
at some time be called upon to
give instruction in home nursing.
of the series of lectures sponsored
by members of Phi Chi Theta,
professional bizad sorority, was
E. E. Beck, personnel director of
a local store.
At the meeting, which took
place at the Union Wednesday
night, Grace Steckley introduced
Mr. Beck who told university
women about the comparitively
new field of personnel. The word
"personnel," itself, was not used
until about 15 years ago.
People Are Individuals.
He expressed the opinion that
personnel man- ,.,., .... ,, v
agers must
think of people
as individuals,
not as masses.
The old attitude
that business
was dealing
with merchan
dise is dealing
with p e o p le.
Mr. Beck em-
phas i z e d that
m ere handise

work upon which business is
built."
There were several phases of
personnel work discussed by Mr.
Beck. One is the planning of per
sonnel work. Such work is di
vided into the different depart
ments of a store. The merchandise.
co-workers and kinds of work
must all be considered. Durine the
interviews, on which basis hiring
is done, the personnel manager
E. E. Beck Discusses
Personnel in Business
Speaking on the first program considers the applicant in regard
for the position in which he would
be best qualified to work.
He said that the personnel of
ficer must, wht ?rviewing the
applicant, sell him on the business.
If a worker is interested In his
work, he will be a more happy and
permanent employe.
Place for Women.
A training director starts the
new worker with his job. In this
position there is great opportunity
for women. It was one of the first
fields in personnel work which was
opened to women.
Mr. Beck stated that the train
ing period begins as soon as the
worter starts his job. The head
of a department, chosen for per
sonnel ability, often gives a great
deal of aid to the new employe.
Under the newer sponsor system
or training, the sponsor follows
the new worker in his job until
he is fully acquainted with the
position and its responsibilities.
The most important phase of
the personnel manager's job, ac
cording to Mr. Beck, is to know
the employes. He must investigate
maladjustment of employes and
often serve as an advisor to them.
Qualifications of personnel
workers are many. Such a worker
must be understanding of people.
He must submerge his personal
ideas, thoughts and desires. Such
quality comes with experience and
natural ability.
