Freshman Gives Views Of UN
Life Classes, Men, What Not
Freshman life on the campus is
well is there a worthy adjec
tive? It's wonderful, exciting,
out-of-this-world, but "oh, those
classes!" First year students, bet
ter known as "eager-beavers"
come to college firmly convinced
that the only bright spot in life
will be an occasional date to
break the monotony of classes,
studies and "book larnin'," in
general. To their surprize, the
mighty professors feared from
afar turn out to be. regular fel
lows and worth a few laughs; in
cidentally teaching you what
you're here to learn in the most
interesting of ways!"
Admitted that the homework is
a trifle rough, but after all,
haven't you come to the univer
sity to learn? The professors
might, just might, know how to
make you study better than you,
yourself do. Ah, the satisfaction
of a good two or three hours of
uninterrupted study is hard to
beat. So much different from that
nagging feeling at the back of
your brain "should I have gone
over that Spanish?" or "maybe, I
should have written my theme
now!" So familiar, isn't it?
T. J. Thompson
Stresses State
Interest in UN
Every student's duty to stimu
late statewide interest in the Uni
versity of Nebraska was stressed
by T. J. Thomson, dean of stu
dent affairs at the Interfraternity
Council dinner in parlors X and Y
of the Union Wednesday evening.
Outlining the postwar needs of
the university, Dean Thompson
said, "The support and appropria
tions of the state are needed for
an increased- faculty and new
buildings." He also asked for the
aid of the fraternities in promot
ing the academic side of the uni
versity in a higher relation to the
bocial life.
Hymie Rosenberg, president of
the Interfraternity Board of Con
trol, also spoke at the dinner.
Walter C. Henrion served as toast
master. Sponsored by the frater
nity advisers council, the dinner
was held to gain a better under
standing between the advisers
council and the active chapters
and to discuss the functions of the
board of control.
More Than 300
Students Attend
Vespers Service
Three hundred ten students,
both men and women, attended
the all-University Vesper service
held at 5:00 p. m. Tuesday in par
lors XYZ of the Student Union.
This record is unprecedented and
the All Campus Vesper Committee
was very glad to welcome the in
terested students. In former years
the services were restricted to
women and were held in the
parlor of Ellen Smith Hall. The
XYZ room was filled to capacity.
Several fellows stood outside the
door but could not be persuaded
to enter the already feminine
crowded room. If the services
continue to draw such record
crowds it will be necessary to
move them to another room if an
appropriate one can be found.
The All-Campus Vesper com
mittee is proud of the success of
the last meeting but hopes that
the students who attended were
sincere. The activitiy point sys
tem used by fraternities and
sororities gives one point to each
person who attends vespers. It is
possible that the activity point
system induced many students to
attend and for that reason the All
Campus Vesper committee re
quests that the Vesper services be
taken off the point system.

Of course, deep down inside
the average coed rests the ever
burning question, "will he ask me
for a date?" This is just from
the female point of view as men
think of nothing but football and
other "sports." Marbles is really
a popular game, isn't it? But the
gentle sex on a college campus
have many finer and more cul
tured things to think about. Men,
men and "oh, that man!"
Due to the war, the U of N
campus is not blessed with an
over abundant supply of males,
but the remainder are trying their
best to get around to everyone.
Here's hoping they won't collapse
in the effort.
Seriously, students now should
be even more thankful than those
of previous years that they are at
tending an accredited university
with equal opportunities to learn
and grow in mind as well as body.
When we realize how close the
United States came to no more
freedom of speech, no more Bill
of Rights, no more of everything
this country has grown up on, we
can thank our lucky stars that
we are still a free America of
the people, by the people, and for
the people.
Tassels Need One

ments should file at the Ag hall

Year Book Staff
Members Leave
For Minneapolis
By Beth Montgomery.
"The 1945 Cornhusker best
ever!" This was the motto of Edi
tor Myra Colberg and Business
Manager Charlotte Hill, as they
left for Minneapolis and Chicago
Thursday night in quest of some
thing new in covers for the forth
coming year book.
Their train, leaving Lincoln at
6:50, should arrive in Minneapolis
sometime Friday afternoon. They
will spend the day at the Na
tional Student's Publication Asso
ciation headquarters there look
ing over a collection of year books
from colleges all over the U. S.
in an effort to get more ideas for
improvement of the Cornhusker.
See UN Play.
Saturday, they will take over
the job of representing the Ne
braska student body at the Nebraska-Minnesota
game, which
will be played in Minneapolis on
that afternoon. (Editors note:
Shall fate or chance be given the
credit for the remarkable co-incidence
that they should be travel
ing in that "neck of the woods" at
the very same time that Nebraska
s playing its first game of the
year?)
They will leave Minneapolis
Sunday night for Chicago where
they will visit the Syllabus, North
western University's yearbook,
and talk over plans for this year's
publication with the staff on that
campus.
The main purpose of the whole
trip is, of course, to choose the
cover for the 1945 Cornhusker,
and the editor and business man
ager are going to take consider
able time in deciding. Due to the
present war-time conditions, it is
necessary to order these covers
sooner than ever before in order
to insure an adequate number of
them for the Nebraska students.
Magazine Urges
Coeds to Apply
For Staff Jobs
Every year Mademoiselle maga
zine selects fourteen college coeds
as members of its college board.
As guests of Mademoiselle, these
visiting editors spend one month
in New York under the sponsor
ship of the magazine's own staff.
Publishing the August college
issue, these girls pose for pictures,
model for the college clinic, and
are paid for their efforts.
Would-be board members inter
ested in writing, reporting, pho
tography and illustration must
submit to Mademoiselle a brief
trial report spotlighting anything
newsy on the campus; a snapshot
of themselves, their college and
home addresses, class year and an
idea of their extracurricular ac
tivities and interests.
Being a board member means
completing four assignments
throughout the year which de
scribe the activities, new courses
and trends, and the general cam
pus life of the college.
Mademoiselle awards war bonds
and stamps for the best reports
and pays board members for ma
terial used. The magazine also
pays two dollars and a half for
each snapshot that is published.
Everything submitted during
the year counts toward the final
selection of the staff. The most
important position is that of guest
editor.
Don Lentz Calls
For Musicians
Don Lentz, director of the uni
versity band, has announced that
he can still use bass, oboe and
bassoon players. Anyone inter
ested may contact Mr. Lentz at
the school of music.
A series of. Sunday concerts is
planned, as well as many new
variations of the traditional
marching formation presented
every year on the gridiron. Mr.
Lentz is confident that this year's
band will uphold the high stand
ards established in years past.
A bicycle is capable of carry
ing a load ten times its own
weight.
