Awgwan Staff in Bed While
1912 Member Visits Nebrashan
BY JIDGE MASON.
A rather jolly looking, gray
haired lieutenant colonel wan
dered into The Nebraska n office
Saturday, looked around with an
unfamiliar air and naively asked
for some member of the Awgwan
staff.
Naturally, as it was only a lit

morning, none of that particular
staff had emerged from the eve

Of the Army Air Corps, re

his home in Pierre, South Dakota
when he stopped in to see how the

The colonel was quick to com

that it was 'quite different' from

at the office, which is a far-cry

Was SUff Cartoonist.
Col. Dewell was the staff car
toonist on the Awgwan when it
was first published in 1912. He
recalled many experiences of by
gone days of UN, including his
favorite which was the annual
company Q purade of the ROTC
downtown. Everyone would don
any kind of costume which was
available and stage a big spring
parade in town just to let the
people know that spring was
coming.
After asking about many other
old traditions which have long
since vanished, he ended our in
terview with the remark: "Well, I
guess things just aren't the same
anymore." And with a friendly
farewell he departed, having given
a momentary glimpse of the spirit
of 1?12 to a few people in The
Nebraskan office on a quiet Sat
urday morning.

Campus Eating
Places Receive
Grade A Rates

A ratings after a Student Council
investigation in collaboration with
the City Health Department.

cil to those eating places that did
not hold A ratings on February 2.
arranging for City Health inspec
tions and asking that they co-operate
with the department in ac
cepting suggestions to make their
establishments more sanitary. The
letters concluded that" if the' City
Health reports were not satisfac
tory, the Council would ask uni
versity officials to place their es
tablishments out of bounds, for
bidding students to patronize
them.
Praise Cooperation.
Dr. M. F. Arnholt, director of
the City Health Department, noti
fied the Council committee on
March 16 that all of the campus
eating places but one had coop
erated to the fullest extent and
have been issued the highest pos
sible ratings.
The places holding
A ratings!
are: The Union Campus-line and
Crib, the Uni. Drug, Earl Woods
and the Nook. In commenting
upon the cooperative spirit of
these establishments, Harold An
dersen, president of the Council,
stated: The Student Council ap
preciates the cooperation of the
five eating places that have now
complied with city standards. The
Council intends to maintaain an
accurate check on campus restau
rants in the future to insure that
standards are not lowered.
A score of 90 percent on the
inspection sheet is required for a
grade A rating. The only eating

Amoeba's Brothers Express
Hilarity at Prospect ofVacat ion
BY JANLLIS JENKWOOD.
Having recently studied the in
formative account of the psycho
logical reactions of the amoeba
which is found in the Awgwan
files (the account, not the amoe
ba), it may perhaps be timely to
enlighten the reader upon the
character of the amoeba's brother,
the student.
In shedding light upon the com
posite substance of the human
mind, it was discovered that the
most efficient device for judging
t student's psychological reac
tion was to casually mention that
there were only eight weeks of
school left in the semester.
The reaction ran somewhat as
follows:
Gerry MtKinsey Only eight
more weeks of school ! ! ! Oh my
gosh, how'm I going to get my
seven term papers done and my
Barbara
Stahl H'mmm, how
time flies.
Dour Nelson Eight more
weeks of school? Let's see, that

houses Monday night, according
to Betty Lou Horton, chairman of
