AisUtant Badness Manager Lorraine Abrarason, Shirley Stahen Postwar Planning . . . To return to UN when the war is won that is the chief postwar plan of many of the Nebraska students who during the past four years have traded books for guns, now serve in their country's armed forces. Letters coming to the Nebraskan office every day bear out this statement, prove that many former students are eagerly awaiting the day when they can come back to the University, resume their roles in campus life. Tvnical of these is the following, written to Pat Cham- berlin, last semester's Nebraskan editor, by former student George Slajchert: Philippines, February 13, 1945. Miss Pat Chamberlin: A few days ago I received the October 19 issue of The Nebraskan. It was indeed welcome. Altho I left NU in the winter of '43, many names were still familiar. The "V-Mail Clippings" were most interesting. News of schoolmates I'd often wondered about but had no way of contacting is surely good to read, especially in this sec tor. Recent periodicals are scarce here. News frfcm home is alwavs the best! Things are shaping up rather well in this theatre. Let's hope it won't be too long before we can all return to "ye old Campus" life. I've seen many schools, and NU still rates "tops" on my list in all things. Thanks again, George Slajchert. P. S. Mv sister Marcella is at the "U" now. Thus write many former students. In their eyes, there truly is "no place like Nebraska." Students now in school may well feel proud as they read letters like Georere Slaichert's proud of the fact that their alma mater is still so highly regarded by those who left academic pursuits to fight for their country. But, more important, these letters should bring to students a deep sense of responsibility, a realization of the obligation that is theirs. For it is to students now in schd&l that George Slaj chert, and countless others like him, are intrusting the task of keeping the University of Nebraska "tops ... in all things." ISaSS&a Lea Said The Better If Lac Gtotfky LaW&tSi Down Beat, jr. Record Data: Brother, it's cold ' outside! These are days that make studying a pleasure, what could be finer than to sink into the front room sofa with a stack of good records on the phonograph, a cheery blaze in the fireplace, a pipeful of good tobacco, and a good thick anthropology volume in your mitts? You say it could be better with out the anthro book? You may have something there and besides this is only mid-semester. But, man, you don't want to miss that fire, the soft sofa, the pipe or the records . . . just right for this cold weather, as we were saying! In keeping with the suggestion, here are some discs to stack on the automatic phonograph. This is the latest and the best in recorded dance music, swing, and vocal: i Dinah Shore does a coupling of "Let's Take the Long Way Home", and "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry" on her latest Victor., ". . . The Long Way Home" is from the Paramount film, "Here Come the Waves," while "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry is from a musical which never got to Broadway. The production folded during tryouts in Phila delphia and the barkers are now singing their own hit song as they think of the thousands of dollars they dropped on the shown. Dinah sings it much better than the backers do. Freddy Martin, king f the throbbing tenor saxophone, plays "Evelina" and "When the Boys Come Home." both from "Bloomer GirL" Artie Wayne and the Mar tin Men come around for the vo cal chores on the record. This is a peaceful disc with pleasant mel ody and simple harmonic effects. In case you're In a romantic mood, you might latch onto the ballad band with a beat, Hal Mc Intyre, as the group plays a timely ditty "My Funny Valentine," a revival from the Broadway hit Babes in Arms," and "Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Nifchi in the Week)". Ruth Gaylor sings both ballads while Hal and the band work up a terrific accom paniment. A disc that deserves as wide a play as possible is the Boston "Pops" orchestra's "Salute to Our Fighting Forces," a Red Seal rec ord which presents a medley of the leading songs of the services. It's a pretty stirring disc and one which should be in every disc li brary. That great little jazz group, the Phil Moore Four, which recenUy bowed with its first Victor cou pling of "I'm Gonna See My Baby" and "Together," is back again with a new pair. Both tunes are novelties this time as the band plays "And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine" and "Yip Yip De Hootie. My Baby Said Yes." Phil sings and the group swings in the background. ! Charlie Spivaks band sounds great on the coupling from "Seven Lively Arts," "Only An other Boy and Girl" and "Evry Time We Say Goodbye." This band is the most phenomenal of the young crews and bow it can keep getting better is a mystery ( but it does. Irene Daye sings the vocals on "Ev'ry Time AVe Say Goodbye" while Jimmie Saunders handles those on the plattermate Platter Clutter: Remo Palmier! stellar jazz guitarist with the Phil Moore Four, won the Esquire magazine 'New Star guitarist poll for 1945. The best jazz critics in the business did the honors. Then there's the story of the 'hep cat of the Earle theater in Philadelphia. Years ago, a dirty yellow cat adopted the stagehands and entertainers of the Earle theater and settled backstage to spend his declining years among friends. Always on hand, wander ing easily thru the dressing rooms, the cat became a backstage fix ture. Last week, tho, the theater booked an all-girl act into the theater for the first time. The cat took one look at the girls, listened to their shrill voices, and disap peared. He didn't turn up until a week later when he crept in and sniffed the baggage of the incom ing Artie Shaw band. Satisfied First of all, we made a sad omission from the war show review we wrote for Sunday's Nebraskan. So, before getting on to the more serious parts of the column, we'd like to mention the two things we slipped up up on. In mentioning the outstanding cast members, we forgot to say anything about Jackie Young s dancing, which was one or the best and most popular acts in the show. And we also slipped and forgot Janet Krause, blues singer, who did one fine job. We had them down in our notes, but some where in the typing, we forgot, and we're sorry because they deserved mention if any one in the cast did. And now for the afore-mentioned serious part of the column. We regret to inform you that Donaldine is having an affair. She no longer shows up for work, she can't eat, can't sleep, in fact she hasn't been in her desk drawer apartment for over a week. AWS has even lost track of her. The cause of all this trouble is a city slicker known as Algernon. Algernon has been in Chicago for the past year with a friend of ours. He was the boy who left our friends' refriger ator door open, unlocked the back door aft er she hit tie 'hay, turned off her alarm in the morning: so she missed work and so on. Well, our friend came to Lincoln last week end and the inevitable Algernon came along just for the ride. He? didn't like the ride, but he did like Lincoln which we think Donaldine had something to do with. Since he has been here, he has made life miser able for us and for poor Donaldine. He swears at the call girl in the morning and makes her think it is us, he turns the radio on after we get in bed so we have to climb out and shut it off, he puts us to sleep in class, he loses our notebooks, and so on thru the night. The first time Donaldine saw him, she toppled right off the nail on in the wall where she was doing her morn ing calisthenics, and since that time she has been a dead duck. Algernon won't even buy her a coke says he doesn't like this self service business and the poor gal is 'going from bad to worse. Pleeeeeeese, if anyone has seen Donaldine latelv, tell her to come home, all is forgiven and Algernon is chained to the radiator with a copy of "Physics for the Pre-Phycho-Ana- lysis Student to keep him under control until her return. LETTERIP We. the representatives of the Christians and Jews of the world, suggest the follow ing principles which we believe should be incorporated into the world's peace: We advocate a world organization with power above National sovereignty and the ability to enforce its decisions. We believe that an international eco nomic commission should have the authori ty to regulate tariffs, eliminate cartels, and combat "cut throat" competition. V Mail Clippings Harold Harshaw, Censor Word has come from France that two former ASTs who were stationed at UN last year, Maynard P. Morgan and James K. Murphy, have received promotions to the rank of sergeant. Sergeant Murphy, better known as "Mike," is communications seri geant for a machine gun and mortar com pany, as per information sent by his buddy, Pvt. John Candy, also in France. Mike him self sent the news about Sergeant Morgan, whose alias is "Moose." o Pfc. Al Lagman, Sigma Alpha Mu, writes from Hawaii that the service men's edition of the Nebraskan had about a 12,000 mile trip back and forth from camp to camp before it reached him, but that it was cer tainly worth while when it finally came. He also sent word that Lt. Bill Thornburg, Innocent prexy and Phi Psi, is in Hawaii in the same battalion. " Lt. Robert E. B ram son, Sigma Alpha Mu, was wounded in action Feb. 2 somewhere in Germany, according to word received by Beverly Marcus, his pinmate. At present he is in a hospital in Belgium. DEMOKEST COLE, Phi Delt, was commissioned an Ensign in the U. S. Naval Reserve and is now wearing the "wings of gold." SSgt. R. C. Buddenberg says that the "recognition of the university's post-war problems by students as well as alumni and faculty is a bright spot in the future hor izon indeed." 0 FO BERNARD BENNET, Sig Alph and former Kosmet Klub member has been promoted to the rank of 2nd Lt Lt. Gordon Johnson, Phi Psi, is recuper ating at Fitzsimmons General Hospital in Denver after returning. Lt. Johnson was stationed in India and China with the B-29 20th Bomber Command before being sent to Denver. We oppose any measures taken against the defeated nations solely for revenge. We believe that the internal affairs of the defeated nations should be administered by the people of those nations, subject to the approval of the world organization. We advocate the immediate admittance to the world organization of the defeated nations and the establishment of a definite time when the question of allowing them to vote should be considered. We believe that in solving territorial problems the welfare of the people occupy ing the land and economic interdependen cies should be considered above the desires of any one nation or group of nations. We believe that minorities should be the direct responsibility of the world organiza tion. We believe that the trial of war criminals should be based on a uniform code of laws.
