Engineers Ask . . .
About 40 percent out of th 2,500 living
graduates and former students of the col
lege of engineering live in the state and
contribute directly to its various enterprises
and services of both business and engineer
ing natures. This means that right now
the college of engineering is responsible
for the training of 1,000 men who con
tribute to the well-being of the state in
fields such as the operation of power sys
tems, manufacturing, construction, archi
tectural designs, operations of telephone
systems and radio, design of apparatus and
machinery, transportation, roads and high
ways, flood control, to mention a few.
Therefore, it is seen that "engine" college
makes a definite contribution to the state,
and also has a great responsibility to con
tinue and better its training of future en
gineers, so that this state may keep up
with the tremendous technological strides
being made by the modern world.
Since the graduates of the university's
engine college must compete within their
field with graduates of other engineering
colleges in their constant aim to improve
the state's technological developments, it is
logical to assume that UN's college of en
gineering should be the best the state can
make it. The war years, in particular, have
hit the college of engineering harder than
most of the other colleges. But now that
we are approaching the postwar era, plans
should be considered to back this college
With all the financial aid possible.
Necessary and vital improvements in
clude a strong faculty. Men of responsi
bility and ability must be appointed to fill
the gaps in staff which have been created
by the war. The present faculty must be
guarded against too lucrative offers in
other universities.
Research must be promoted that Ne
braska may keep up with and direct today's
rapid scientific developments.
The housing of the various branches of
the engineering college is disproportionate
Les Said The Better
By Les Gloffelfy
Life at the university can never get too
dull if vou watch people, because, to nicn
a line from Colonel Stoopnagle, "people
have more fun than anybody. To that pro
found statement, we add that people are
funnier than anybody.
F'instance did vou know:
That Phyllis "Shorty" McLaren of the
DG house has been trying to get us to put
her name in this column all year. Why
nnvnnp should want their name in here is
bevond us. but then, anything for Shorty
That debate and other speech activities
are the most under-rated activities on this
campus, and they take more work and time
than anything else except maybe the we
braskan. Ask Gerry McKinsey and Mary
Ann Mattoon for their heated opinion on
the subiect.
That UN school spirit is marvelous this
vear in comparison to the past two years
That there are millions of sophomore and
freshmen coeds m activities, but what in
heaven's name happened to the juniors.
That there are still a few people on this
campus who are so immature, etc., that
they consent to letting someone else tell
them how to vote. With fall elections com
ing up in the near future, it's about time
that some coeds and men realized that they
are fools to consent to bloc voting or to
letting a big sister or brother tell them how
to vote.
This is a wonderful opportunity to quit
smoking, since all we can get without a
general's uniform these days is dead dog
wood leaves disguised under a 15 cent price
tag and a regal sounding name.
That Ghita Hill can get in more argu
ments with more people about more things
that anyone we know.
to the needs of the students. Electrical en
gineering equipment is In a rickety old
frame building which is certainly a fire
hazard. Chemical engineering has no spe
cial laboratory facilities, and civil engineer
ing needs more adequate lab apparatus and
demonstration equipment. The college of
architecture is crowded in the small, ill
lighted basement of Temple. In fact, the
college of engineering needs a whole new
building which would provide adequate
space for the faculty, for equipment, and
which would provide stimulating surround
ings for students.
The university, as well as the republicans
and democrats, must look forward to what
comes after the war!

30 Days Notice ...
OVER 21 ONLY . . . National election is all day Tuesday,
Nov. 7, 1944!
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house has not been occu
pied by Sig Alphs since the first semester of last year. This
semester, however, the Sig Alphs have 14 men back on the campus
and are able to move back into their house but, there is a com
plication.
Last August the fraternity rented the house to Alpha Pi Omega,
a business girls' sorority sponsored by the Lincoln School of Com
merce, with the oral understanding that at any time the fraternity
could move back into their house if they gave the sorority 30 days
notice. This agreement is in accordance with OPA rulings which
state that 90 days' notice is necessary if the owner wants to rent
his house to another party than the one occupying it, but only 30
days' notice is necessary if the owner himself wishes to move into
his own house.
The members of Alpha Pi Omega were given 30 days' notice
the first of October, but they refused to vacate. The first of No
vember, according to the legal proceedings of an eviction case, the
Sig Alphs gave the sorority a three-day notice to move before start
ing formal court proceedings to get the use of their house back.
The three days are up tomorrow, at which time the Sig Alphs will
start court proceedings if the sorority still refuses to move.
In his student days, Wendell L.
Willkie spent a night in jail as
the result of celebrating a foot
ball game by crashing a movie
house.
NORM LEGER, Kappa Sig last year, has been back on the cam
pus from the Naval V-12 unit at DePauw university, Greencastle Ind.
At DePauw, Norm was V-12 editor for the Navy News section of the
campus paper. He leaves today for pre-midshipmen's school at As
bury Park, N. J. Continuing along the journalistic line, Norm handed
into the Nebraskan some notes on the other UN-ites at DePauw.
"Making names for themselves on the DePauw football team are
MICK ALLEN and HOWARD ELOE. Mick plays a fast game at right
end, while Eloe, '42-'43 at UN plays backfield as quarterback or right
half. ,
"Keeping up the scholastic end of things is DICK MILLS, SAE,
who also manages to be a campus smoothie!
"Still on the subject of brains, DONALD LIKES, formerly of
ag college, finished his training at DePauw last June with almost a
straight A average in his physics, calculus, and mechanical drawing
courses.
"Out of thirty-some pre-air corps men, DICK McDOUGAL, Phi
Dclt, was the only one awarded the chance to attend pre-flight school.
He begins his training sometime this month in Iowa City.
"The spirit of these typical UN fellows seems to indicate that
the Nebraska spirit must be present on many other campuses over
the country, and the students on these other campuses are given defi
nite proof that UN instills within its students a true school spirit."
Then Norm roes on to praise the frand old Nebraska spirit which was
so evident last weekend at the Homecoming game. Thanks, Norm!
