' 1 Presents Film Lecture Here BY PHYLLIS MORTLOCK. "Singapore Joe" Fisher, globe trotter, theatrical magnate and Far East impressario, will present "The Pacific Aflame," a film lec- ture, at 3 p. m., Sunday in the Union Ballroom. There is no charge and everyone is invited to attend. The lecturer has often oeen called the "Twentieth Century Sinbad." And rightly so, for he has made 14 trips around the, world. Trips not made as a mere, tourist but as an advehturer, a1 philosopher, a lecturer and busi ness man. He brought to these journeys a keen understanding of people as well as a lively appre ciation of scenic and news value. "Singapore Joe" owned a string of theatres in Malaya, China, and the Pacific islands, some elabor ately decorated as the Capitol Theatre in Singapore, which were captured by the Japs. He was host to every personage who vis ited Singapore. Amelia Earhart See GLOBE TROTTER, Page 2.

Relations between the crib and Nebraskan have been somewhat strained at times, probably be cause reporters are notorious for ordering cokes and cribs only to leave the empty glasses and dishes gathering in great heaps of glass ware and crockery in the Ne braskan office. It seems the crib would like its glasses returned that it might have something to serve its cokes in. It s more healthful that way, the waiters I patiently explain to the Nebras kan stau as tney pass among mem with brickbats. Well, Friday morning several news and managing editors and a troop of reporters arrived at the Nebraskan office to see Jidge Mason, wearing rubbers and carrying an umbrella, rowing over to Jo Martz's office with copy. "Pre-final dropscy, Jidge?" the group smiled condescendingly. "It's just Jidge suffering pre-final palsey" cleverly observed Sam Warrm as h cfpnnpH tin YWCA Holds Installation Of Officers Newly elected officers and cabi net members of Y. W. C.

"Tin from University Campus Saves Soldier's Life" is a head line which might be read in Leyte as a Nebraska alum guides tank (made from tin-cans) battle. his into "Tin from UN Protects Sailors from Poisoning" might be a head line read by a former Cornhusker as he eats tin-protected food in a submarine (three tons of tin in its machinery). Of course the line could read: War too busy to collect tin cans and take them to. Bancroft school at 14th and Vine before noon on Saturday Coeds safe in school read that the Jans have 70 percent of the world's supply of tin. Cornhusk ers behind the lines in Nebraska know that 99 percent of every tin can is steeL Nebraskans read that in one year, under point ra tioning. Americans use enough tin cans to make 22,900 medium tanks or 900 destroyers. Tu. tcMc Vnnur Thrt: - " Saturday.

"Look!'' screamed Jane Sutton, pointing a wavering finger at the ceiling. There, surrounded by several welt defined cracks, was a fissure from which was dripping, large drop by large drop, some aqueous li quid from the bar of the crib overhead.

"Whoops! wheezed Arnold Austin as he doubled up in de light after dumping six cupful of coffee with grounds down the hole. "Revenge! hoarsely shriek ed Al Charney and Jim Ota in unison.

Just then in came the janitor, a good man and true, and with out further ado mopped up the puddle with one strong swipe. Out came the sun, off came Jidge's umbrella and rubbers, Sam Warren was hung on the hot water pipes to dry, Jane Sut ton wrote the entire first paj.e, Bill Roberts summoned strengtn to write a debate story and Harold Andersen calmy proceeded to throw out 67 inches of Phyllis Johnson's latest copy ("So she won't have too many hundreds of inches," explained Andy). Up stairs in the crib, waiters weak- edfrom laughter served cokes f .all. It was an- .,!'. I semester were established with several innovations to facilitate present campus conditions. A special permission slip must be filled out by any woman stu dent desiring privileges exceeding those stated in the rules. The per mission slips may be obtained from house mothers and must be returned to them. They include information concerning nature of the permission, destination, time of leaving and time of returning. All information requested is for the protection of the student and to help the respective house moth ers. Any senior member of the AWS board may sign special per mission slips if President Doro- 'thy Carnahan is not available. Fill Out Sheets. Sign out sheets must be filled out explicitly instead of simple statements such as "dates" and "out," future sign out sheets re quest a defininite statement of destination. Hereafter any coed signing out for an indefinite place will be subject for court review. There are no late minutes in the official AWS rules, and the num ber a person may have is purely arbitrary and can be set at the discretion of the court. These late Late minutes between the hours of 12:30 and 1:00 do not necessi- tate an automatic campus, but do make the person eligible for court review. The office of the dean of women issued a statement to the effect that any person returning late from a 1 o'clock, whether the late minutes amount to one or 30, will be automatically campused for the next 12:30 night. This automatic campus eliminates all late min utes on 1 o'clock nights and is not to be confused with 12:30 nights. Dean Boyles restated the ruling of the faculty committee concern ing the use of corsages for social functions. Because several or ganizations are planning spring parties, house representatives were reminded of the previous ruling that corsages are to be considered a thing of the past for the present time.
