This Is No Play-ground
Tuesday morning the university holds its annual
Honors Convocation to recognize students who have
achieved high standing in scholarship.
This year, above all years, the Honors list should be
long and all-inclusive. Obviously, it is too much to hope
that every student in the university could make grades
equal to those required for the Honors list. But this year,
above all others, students should be students instead of
kindergarteners on the college play-ground.
All too few of America's young people are still in
college. The majority have interrupted or postponed college
education until after the war. Those of us who are left
are obliged to take our education seriously, to work for
understanding and assimilation of material offered in our
courses. If we are not willing to take this responsibility,
we should be in defense work or in the service of our
country.
Students who are being honored Tuesday have evi
dently realized the purpose of college work and the impor
tance of really learning what is offered in the university
curriculum. If for no other reason than this, these stu
dents deserve recognition.
Honors Convocation will be held in the Union ballroom.
Every university student should be anxious to attend. The
Nebraskan offers its congratulations to those who will be
honored and hopes that the ballroom will be filled to ca
pacity by others who wish to do the same.
Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism
sorority, recently announced that its new
members would be chosen Ivy Day instead
of next fall as in the past. With the excep
tion of the sing contest, the Mortar Boards
are THE attraction of that fatal day. We
think they like the limelight, not being the
shrinking violet type, because ever since
the Theta Sig announcement, have been
muttering dire prophecies to the effect that
"Theta Sig can't do this to us." Time will
tell, and we hear that Theta Sig says
"Can do!"

Tn t ht Poster edition a week a0. we got
carried away in the raptures of spring.
Seems we said something about spring be
ing here although we expected a blizzard,
mnnsnnn. hurricane or chinook. We were
speaking of chinooks in perfect innocence.
Out in Wyoming, wnere we come irom, a
rhinnnk is a storm that comes down off the
Rocky mountains. Unfortunately for our
reputation, students on tnis campus ior me
most narr An not come from Wvomine.
Consequently they did not know that a
Chinook is a storm irom tne KOCKies. in
fact, they did not know what a chinook was
at all And if thev did know what a chinook
was, they thought it was something besides
a storm trom the mountains, iney even
went so far as to think a chinook is the
same thing as Webster's dictionary says it
is namely, an inaian wun a nauenea skuu.
t AnvwAv. for those of mv dear readers
jwho have doubts or dark unfounded sus
picions, we wish to state with emphasis that
we were expecting a storm WE WERE
YOUR UNIVERSITY
Plans Campus of Future
BY JANET MASON.
If you should come back to the
University of Nebraska about
1950, the campus you have all
dreamed about would be a reality.
This column is to give those of
you who may be unable to return
a bird's eye view of the university
in the future.
These dreams are not the re
sult of an April fool's joke, but
are taken from authentic plans
drawn by the architectural depart
ment and displayed in Chancellor
C. S. Boucher's office, the Alumni
office, and several other places on
the campus.
The first building our children
will not set, in 1950, is Ellen Smith
hall. In its place is the- new teach
ers college training school where
university students win hold
classes for their pupils in teachers'
high. The old teachers college will
be used solely for university
classes. On the mall between
teachers and Andrew. :s the new
class room building in which va
rious classes, which are now scat
tered about in several buildings,
will be held. Directly north of this
building a street win be cut
through from Love Library, across
the mall, behind Andrews and
MorriH, to the Coliseum. Across
this street from the new class
building is the new Auditorium.
Every university theater director
who has worked with the small,
ill-lighted stage at Temple will
breathe a sigh of envy for the
lucky fellow who can use this new
building.
Keeps Bessey Company.
Keeping Bessey Hall company
to the south is the new Music,
Drama and Art buildinc Those
students who have spent long
hours in the dusiy ana lire Haz
ardous Temple will be tempted to
come back to school in t fw
docades to enjoy classes in the
building. Even more enticing than
this building will be the Engineer
ing hall, to be erected between
Avery lab and Grant Memorial. It
is a long, four storied building,
with tall columns gracing the en
try way, facing 12th street
The new Armory building is lo
cated east of the Coliseum and will
house the military department, re
lieving Nebraska hall for other
classes. On the corner of 14th ana
Vine, a block from the Sigma Chi
Iuhim is the rirls' rvmnasium.
The final new building on this
future campus takes some explora
tion to find. It stands on the block
where the Phi Psi. Siema Nu, Sie
Ep and Sig Alph bouses are now
located. The entire mock wiu oe
remnrieled into a forest of trees
and on the north side, almost a
half block west of the gins' dormi
tory, is the residence halls for
men.
Yes, this is a cleverly planned
rimmi and if we all work hard
enough and hope long enough our
children are sure to nave u

With the present day emphasis
on language, two books, recently
added to the reference collection
of the university library, are of
particular interest.
Duden's Pictorial Encyclopedia
presents more than 10,250 differ
ent expressions in five languages
by means of pictures. The lan
guages included are English, Ger
man, Spanish, Italian, and French.
Those who are in search of
special terms in these languages
and those who wish to enrich their
vocabulary will find a study of
these plates and the accompanying
five langufe vocabulary of value.
The Manual of Foreign Dialects
for Radio, Stage and Screen pre
sents a scientific approach to the
use of foreign dialects to take
place of the model system of the
vague inspirational system.
Among the dialects included are
Cockney English. Hawaiian, Beche
le mar, Pidgin English, and dia
lect of India.

LETTERIP
Dear Editor:
Tuesday night the officers of War Council
presented a "Rules of Organizaiton and
Membership" NOT a constitution to the
members for discussion, and approval or
rejection. The rules were discussed thor
oughly from every angle by all members
present, and, with an amendment opening
the eligibility to office to all members who
have attended War Council meetings for
one semester, were unanimously approved
by the Council with the exception of one
vote.
Apparently misunderstood by outsiders
was the rule pertaining to voting privileges.
This rule which states that "each university
organization (organized houses and campus
activity groups) is entitled to one repre
sentative who shall have voting power for
official election (election of officers)." It
was also provided that anyone interested
in the work of War Council would become
a member by regularly attending meetings,
and could vote for every measure before the
Council, except election of officers.
This rule was formulated not to encour
age politics, but to prevent their entrance
into a war co-ordinating organization by
allowing each authorized representative to
vote as its organization dictates. There was
no provision "that persons who are mem
bers of one organized house and also repre
sentatives to War Council may vote by
bloc." It was suggested that the representa
tive from an organized house who had
voting power should consult the other mem
bers of War Council from that house who
were not invested with voting power so that
her vote would accurately represent her
house or organization.
As the rules did not comprise a formal
constitution, they were not presented to the
Student Council for approval.
The Officers of War Council.
suit their artistic temperaments. "Good place, tho;
almost like being back in the states."
