They've begged on hands and knees! They've can
vassed until they're weak and weary! They've run ads
in the Nebraskan until they've run out of money! They've
wept, cajoled, supplicated, stormed! Still the Union Grill
is long oh student appeal, but short, very short, of student
help.
So, for the first time in regular school sessions, the
Grill is inaugurating self-service during hours that are
not so busy. This means that students will surround the
bar, place their orders, and do their own toting, except
during meal times (lunch and dinner), and Friday, Satur
day, and Sunday nights, when white-clad waiters will be
present in all their customary elegance.
Since Thursday when self-service was Regain, students
have been confused and a bit indignant about it all. Self-
service has been tried and proven fun at the University
of Wisconsin's famous Rathskellar, so as soon as Nebraska
gets used to the idea, Grill bartenders, now harassed by
impatient shouts of potential customers, will again have
unruffled nerves and be able to throw out fountain con
coctions with their famous nonchalance and good flavor.
Just please don't shout at them!
The First Stage ...
During a war, interest in intellectual and cultural proj
ects is set aside in favor of what is immediately practical.
But come victory, or hope of victory, and liberal arts again
assumes a leading role, especially on a college campus.
When we entered the war in 1941, there was an hon
orary dramatic organization on the campus. But the going
got tough; leading student dramatists left school for the
army; interest in the theater receeded as interest in news
columns and V-Mail letters went up. The honorary
diamatic society died an unpublicized death.
Then along came a man with a hyperdemic needle full
of imagination and determination, a man who decided to
help the university reorganize its chapter of the National
Collegiate Players. This man is Dallas S. Williams, new
director of the University Theater.
He has called a mass meeting of all students inter
ested in anv nhase of the drama: acting, directing, writing.

Lt. GENE BRADLEY. Beta and former
columnist for the Nebraskan, is in Corsica
Initio nublic relations work for the Air
Corps. He writes that he is doing special
broadcasts in Rome interviewing service
men. The interviews are transcribed and
sent back to the particular service ''s
home town.
Lt. LOWE FULSOM, Beta, was wounded
in France and is now hospitalized some
where in England. He is with the Infantry.
Lt. T. J. DREDLA, Phi Psi, is home on
leave from Camp San Luis Obispo, Calif.
He was a member of the senior ROTC in
'43. Some other Nebraskans at San Luis
Obispo, says Lt. Dredla, include Pvt. TOM
PIERSON, ATO, who is serving at the 97th
Division headquarters; Capt. HARRY
HAUPTMAN, Sig Ep; Lt. Col. TED I. SAW
YER; and First Lt. DON WHITE, Sigma
Chi.
A letter from Lt. HARRIET WOODS,
Sigma Kappa, now an army nurse in India,
reveals that she has been in that country
for eight months, and that she is engaged
to a Texan. She has seen former Nebras
kans BTLL WILLIAMS and MARK SEA
CRES, who are also stationed over there.
Second Lts. MARCUS POTEET, jr., Phi
Delt, and MILLARD ICKES, AGR, were
members of the largest class in the history
of the San Marcos Army Air Field, Texas,
when they recently were graduated and com
missioned as aerial navigators.
Pfc. DAVE KINSMAN, Alpha Sig, is over
in New Caledonia. The only other Sig he's
run into is DAVE BUTHMAN. He also
writes in high praise of the Servicemen's
issue of the Nebraskan, and says all of us
here look forward to each paper." In about
two weeks, Dave, the Nebraskan will be
able to get started, again on that bi-monthly
condensed issue, and thanks for your letter.

altho we might as well with Jo Martz as
business manager of this Tittle publication.
Last year with Charlotte Hill in the same
position things were tough, because her idea
of a good paper was four pages with three
full pages of ads. When Jo became the
business gal, the editorial staff cheered
loudly because we thought we might have a
chance to get in a little news. What fools
we mortals be. Jo even had an ad on the
front page Friday. We have been told that
ads on the front page are the newest thing
m the newspaper game, but we re from
Missouri.
Pat Chamberlin, editor, came tearing out
of the Cornhusker office Friday dragging
an overgrown calendar with her. It was
truly a magnificent specimen of calendar
art presented to the Nebraskan by Myra
Colberg. Pat jubilantly climbed on a desk,
found a nail and some string and securely
fastened the calendar to the bulletin board.
As she climbed down and dusted off her
hands, the staff discovered that the cal
endar was 1943. Myra swears it was a mis
take, but knowing the ancient rivalry
between the yearbookies and paper staff,
we wonder. The Nebraskan may not be
right up on all the news, but darned if we
are a year behind.
Friday was really an eventful day in the
Nebraskan office. We also had a flood.
Some enterprising waiter in the Crib left a
faucet running. The water found a crack
in the office ceiling and all afternoon we
typed and wrote headlines to the accom
paniment of the pitter-patter of little drops
of water. Before the afternoon was over,
