How About That? . . .
For the first time, women college students
are finding that they must justify their re
maining in school while their country is at
war.
Previously, coeds have been able to con
tinue "as usual," smug in the knowledge
that criticisms against college students were
directed at men. Now, however, the posi
tions have been reversed. Today civilian
men students remaining in school have
proved they should be there and the public
no longer questions their reasons.
Unmarried women of the college age, in
particular, are the group sought by the
women's military service groups. Since these
organizations have proved their worth in this
war, more and more women are needed to
fill their ranks. And we must show reason
why we are serving better in gaining college
training than in contributing now to the war.
No longer is mere class attendance an ac
ceptable excuse for failure to serve. The
college woman of today must attend school
with a definite plan for future service. And
the "college as usual" attitude must be re
placed by increased class work and parti
cipation in all possible campus war activities.

Hell and High Water
By Les Glotfelty
There were a lot of rather amazing state
ments in Friday's Nebraskan, but one of
the more amazing and amusing was a true
no-fooling item in the classified ads.
"LOST Black wool sweater, size 38, by
Former Museum. Reward. Call 80."
To quote an old Chinese, saying, "But
honey, the programs been speeded up."
Incidentally, we were surprised at the
number of people who took the April Fool
parts of the Nebraskan seriously yesterday.
One heart-broken little lass even went so
far as to say that we could be sued for
printing the story about the AST coming
back. This we rather doubt since Col. Mur
phy okay'd it. So sorry, girls, but if you
would like personal revenge on the staff,
tear off the top of the library or a reason
able facsimile and mail it to the Union build
ing. No entries will be accepted after mid
night. Women on the I N campus have been
insulted. We hear that the Sig Eps have
a new set of rules since the army left. They
say that every time the fellows go out, they
must go by twos if possible. If a man has
to go somewhere alone, he is instructed to
tell the house his destination before leaving,
and then phone as soon as he gets there
safely, if he does. T'aint funny, McGee.
Come to think about it, maybe that is a
compliment anyway All coeds who are get
ting ideas had best suppress them. This is
war and ya' can't win.

seem, girls can handle any of
these jobs.
Party is Incentive.
Director Berne Enslin invariably
throws one of his famed "oatmeal
parties" for all workers before the
last curtain goes down on the last
performance, and these parties are
n.ore fun than a Triad formal.
This old Underwood is running
away with me now and wants to
tell you that you can sign up for
crews all this week, in the Ne
braskan office or with your thea
ter representative in the organ
ized houses. Get on the beam ana
make a director's dream of hav
ing full back-stage crews for at
least one performance this year
come true.

the next University Theater
play, "The Lady Who Came To

evening in room 154 Temple
at 7:15. All students interest
ed in participation are urged
to be there. The cast includes
two men and seven women.
Peace Calls for
Law Respect,
Competence
WASHINGTON. (ACP). Neu
tral nationals should try cases of
wailime international lawlessness
after the peace is won because
their decisions would "more easily
command respect," Charles Che
ney Hyde, professor of internation
al law and diplomacy at Columbia
university, New York, told the
American Society of International
Law.
"The attainment of full freedom
requires rising standardsof com
petence, responsibility, fairness,
objectivity, disinterestedness, and
indeed of charity, chivalry and
good humor, in using the mighty
engine of a free press. By this
criterion we must recognise that
we could do better." Walter Lipp-
mann (ACP).
Coeds Stock-up tvith Beauty
Aids Despite Man Shortage
Undaunted by the saying,
"beauty is only skin deep" and by
the lack of men on the campus,
hundreds of coeds invaded cos
metic counters Friday to lay in a
supply of their favorite brands of
beauty aids before the 20 percent
tax on all cosmetics went into ef
fect at 12:01 a. m. April 1.
Lipsticks, pancake, leg make
up, creams and powders were the
most popular articles sought by
cosmetic conscious coeds. One girl
had purchased five large bottles of
leg make-up. Optimistic of having
dates, one campus cutie bought
four tubes of lipstick and six bot
tles of perfume.
A naive freshman who hadn't
heard of the 10 percent increase
in cosmetics, thought the Lincoln
stores were having bargain day
when she saw trie moD-nuea ue
partment stores.
Lincoln stores bare of many of
the most popular shades and
brands of cosmetics reported the
rush to have been going on all
week. One professor contributed
the vacant seats in his class Fri
day to Easter shopping and buy
ing cosmetics before t'ie new tax
went into effect.
Not only will the coed's painted
faces suffer from the increase, but
also their hair, as Saturday most
beauty salons boosted their prices
to cover the increased costs of
their materials.
This will, no doubt, bring great
changes in both style and color of
the cuties' looks.

Quotable Quotes
(By Associated Collegiate Press.)
"Few people realize that headth
actually varies according to the
amount of laughter. So does re
covery. People who laugh actual
ly live longer than those who do
not laugh. Possibly the supreme
physician of this day is Mickey
Mouse." Dr. James J. Walsh of
Fordham university offers an easy
recipe for health. (ACP).
"It would be as disastrous . . .
to permit Germany and Japan to
go on teaching race hatred and
world domination as it wcild to
permit them to go on building sub
marines and bombers. We must
deny to them the right . . . Some
kind of international educational
machinery is going to be neces
sary," Prof. Alonzo Myers of New
York university sees a postwar
threat in axis education technique.
(ACP).
In his new book, The F.B.I. In
Peace and War. which is one of
the books-of-the-week at the uni
versity librbary, Fredrick Collins
has written the story of the F.B.I.,
its methods and techniques shown
through the, stories of actual cases.
Few writers have worked more
closely with the F.B.I, than Mr
Collins.
His book includes many excit
ing and hitherto little publicized
stories of crime solution, with each
case practically a mystery story
(n its events and suspense.
After showing the development
of the F.B.I. 's technique in dealing
with every phase of crime, he
turns to the problems that con
fronted the Bureau at the out
break of the war in Europe and
shows how readily the existing
machinery was retooled for war.
Mr. Collins discussed the relation
shin between the F.B.I, and the
armed forces and concludes with
a sketch of the head of the F.B.I.,
J. Edgar Hoover.
The setting of the novel, Indigo,
by Christine Weston which is the
other book-of-the-week, is India,
an India that Mrs. Weston knows
well since she lived there for many
years. The story begins in the
1890's and closes at the end of
the First World War. The setting
is in a small Civil station, Amnit
oore, a one-time army canton
nent, not in one of India's cities.
The story is that of the friend
ship of three young men: One th
son of French parents, owners of
an indigo plantation; a young Hin
au, a son of a westernized Hindu
lawyer; and a young Englishman,
son of an army officer. Inter
woven in the novel are beginnings
of the Indian problem and the out
come of the novel depends on the
outcome of an outburst of violence
which is a part of the national
strife.
Five books have been selected
for this week's reading list.
Among these is "This Is My Coun
try" by Stoyan Christane which is
an autobiography of an American,
who was born of Bulgarian par
ents in Macedonia and came to
America at the age of 13. He tells
here the story of his search for
American ideals and his finding of
them.
"Georgia Drums and Shadows"
is the result of more than three
years or research among the Ne
groes in Savannah and outlying
tidewater communities. Brought
together here is a wide range of
folklore and interesting and val
uable tradition.
History of Theaters.
"The Theater Book of theYear,
1942-1943" ih a year book edited
by George Jean Nathan which is
a detailed history of the theatrical
year illuminated by critical com
ment. It is both a record and an
interpretation.
Mrs. Elsie Thcrton-Cook's
"They Lived: A Bronte Novel'
tells the story of the lives of the
three Bronte sisters and their
tragic brother, Branwell. While
the Brontes are the chief figures
in the story, it is also a lively pic
ture of the literary world of the
day.
"North Carolina" is composed of
tales collected in North Carolina.
These include everything from tall
tales, ghost stories, and animal
tales to a story about John Henry.
