THE ASTP ARE LEAVING
APRIL 1!
This headline brought many
responses and comments from the
student body. Old maids clubs are
being formed (the number has in
creased rather"), hat pins are be
ing replaced by knitting needles,
black dresses are being worn only
to show mourning, and mothers
are putting up .heir service flags
again.
Comments are many and varied.
Andy Anderson, Phi Gam, pre
dicts more girls will leave April
1 than ASTP. Were wondering
whether he meant they were leav
ing lor home, to enlist in the
WACS, or to join the Foreign Le
gion. Eleanor Thomas is worrying
how a girl can cry over them leav
ing with the shortage of kleenx
and men's shoulders????
Dick Klopp, Beta, says that he
is heartbroken and is even going
to see the ASTP off to be sure
they have left. Competition, no
doubt!!
Miracles still happen Jo Martz,
Alpha Pi was left speechless by
the news that her little buddies
were leaving.

Larry Veta, SAM, said that their
house is going to be like the Union
empty. (Ah! we thought he
meant full of girls at first, too.)
According to Tom Neben, al
thought the ATO are sorry they
are leaving it will certainly make
the competition with The Women
less keen. Why, fellows, we never
knew you cared!

Prejudiced isn't she.
What Do the ASTP Think?
In these rare moments the boys
feel like Nebraska has taught
them a lot both in books and
otherwise, but one thing they all
agreed on was, it taught them to
love their home. One fellow said
that he would like to be a 4-F in
this paradise full of women.
Another said he was . glad they
all leaving so soon for OCS. (He
wasn t used to the snow either!!)
A Chicagoan said the only reason
he would like to leave was, "'He
couldn't stand the cold winter."
No doubt, he was from the south
side of Chicago

UN Funds Fail
With Expansion
It was stated above that for
too many years the University of
Nebraska has attempted to sup
port too broad a program of ac
tivities with the funds that have
been placed at its disposal.
Perhans this fact should be
stated differently, as follows:
With the natural growth of the
population and the accompanying
develonment of the resources of
the state, increased demands were
made upon the university for a
continually enlarged number and
variety of instructional programs
and research activities; these de
mands were made by a student
body that grew larger from year
to year and by agricultural, eco
nomic, and professional groups

Col. Murphy
Receives Wire
On ASTP Unit
In a telegram received Monday
by Col. J. P. Murphy, commandant,
the commanding general of the
seventh service command set forth
for the benefit of all ASTP train
ees that their transfer to active
duty from present status was
prompted by "imperative military
necessity."
No further information concern
ing the procedure by which the
units will be liquidated was forth
coming. There is still a question
as to the fate of the area and
language group of approximately
125 men who are stationed here.
The 600 basic engineers will leave
April 1, as will all ASTP units
except dental, medical, advanced
engineering, 17 year old reserv
ists, and pehraps certain language
groups.
"Most of you will be assigned
to army ground forces for duty
with divisions and other units,"
said the telegram. "Your intelli
gence, training and high qualities
of leadership are expected to raise
the combat efficiency of those
units."

A quick drive is being planned
which will include only seven

The full meaning of the Red
Cross lies in the lives of those who
have known its help. The theme
is service.
The original purpose of the Red
Cross was to care for the wounded

"The figures of the tremendous
