Dear Editor:
Last year I received
edition of the Nebraskan which I enjoyed
very much, not only from a reader's
standpoint, but also from the view of a well
wishing former editor who can remember
the trials and tribulations we had getting a
"soldier's paper" started way back when
the war was new to us all.
To us former students your paper is a
means of keeping track of old friends who
are now scattered from the South Pacific
to France.
If you do put out your servicemen's edi
tion, please include me on the mailing list.
If your mailing privileges for the regular
edition include overseas delivery, put me
down for a subscription. Send me a bill, as
I don't know what it will cost.
The best of luck, and here's to a better
Nebraskan than ever.
First Lt. Paul E. Svoboda.
(Editor's note: "Swab" was editor-in-chief
of the Nebraskan from February
thru May, 1942, so he knows wherein he
speaks of Nebraskan "Trials and Tribula
tions." The. servicemen's, edition,, which he
wishes to receive again, is a bi-monthly
non-ad issue of the paper published exclus
ively for former Nebraskans now in the
armed services. The same size as the regu
lar edition, it carries reprints of news ar
ticles, features, society, and columns picked
students.
The servicemen's issue is mailed free of
cnargee to about 1,UU men ana women.
Address lists are compiled and kept up to
date by the War Council, who co-sponsor
the issue with the Nebraskan. Last year,
the issue was financed by donations of the
entire student body made thru an All Uni
versity Fund drive.
The regular edition of the Nebraskan is
also available to every serviceman or
woman with the special soldier's rate of
Les Said The Better
By Les Glotfelty
Cripes but things are quiet on this fair
campus. The student council, quote Harold
Andersen, is still trying to clarify woman's
place in UN politics, but that doesn t mean
a heck of a lot. The council and every other
organization on the campus have been try
ing to do that ever since Eve, and they'll
still be trying in 1999. There is a council
meetting tonight at five, and it is going to
be interesting to see what trivialities they
can dig up out of the dust on the table to
argue about this year. The council has con
tinued to be remarkaably impotent ever
since we entered this university. Maybe
things will improve this year, we hope, but
we reserve judgment on that score for a
while yet.
Take notice, kiddies, when you see the
great Mortar Boards running around in
their little black and yellow jackets. It
seems as how one of the big gals was as
signed the job of measuring the amount
of gold braid necessary for each jacket and
getting it out to the other gals. Some MB
apparently can't add because she didn t get
enough braid. Consequently, some jacketts
have braid on pockets, some don't, some
have it clear around to the side seams, some
have it barely covering the lapel and so on.
Natalie Neumann very carefully made her
own jacket, and to be sure she put the
pocket on the right side, looked at the
Cornhusker to see which side the last year
biggies had it on. Lovely idea, only she for
got to turn herself around to face the same
way as the picture. Consequenttly, pocket
on wrong side and one chagrinned Nat.
The frat averages published in Sunday's
Nebraskan are kind of funny when you get
to thinking about it. Take for instance the
second place Sig Alphs. The Sig Alphs had
an infinitesimal number of members last

unintelligible 2.5046789 sttuff that the reg
istrar's office sees fit to use at preseent.

Visual evidence that students are vitally interested in
.r.r or-HinriP this vear rarticularly was seen last night
when 45 students attended the first meeting of the war
council. . , , .,
Ghita Hill, upped to the presidency from the vice
president's office by the last yeaar's prexys failure to
return to U N, did a fine job of organizing the first

characteristic of the council since its founding.
A total of 20 organizations, including activity groups
and organized houses, sent a representative to the meeting,
the other 25 persons signifying their willingness to work
for the War Council, while remaining wiuioui a vu.c, a
per the organization's constitution.
Of the 45 Dresent. however, only four were men. As
Fred Teller, one of the four men at the meeting, spiritedly
pointed out, there are more men on the campus this year
than since the beginning of the war. There are also 91
returned veterans this year. .
Rnr-Aiv the men on the campus want to resume their
place in activities? Surely the men are not going to be
content to sit by and watch the women run the campus?
m ro-anisntinn. esDeciallv the War Council, whose
activities are centered largely on the wants and needs of
servicemen, can function with full effectiveness without
strong representation and leadership from the men of the
campus.
