A New Leaf?
University coeds Wednesday elected new AWS officers
and Board members to administer women s government on
the campus for the coming year.
With the election of a new AWS administration, coeds
on the campus are naturally asking certain questions: Just
what policies will these new officers and Board members
follow? Will they continue the present policies of the AWS,
policies which have made that organization a common tar
get of censure and criticism by women students? Or will
they adopt new policies more in accord witn tne principles
of democratic government? In short, will they or will they
not at long last give UN coeds true self-government?
Time alone can answer these questions. Undoubtedly
the new AWS administration itself does not yet know with
any degree of defmiteness what its policies will be. But as
it formulates its policies, as it determines what type of gov
ernment it will give women students during the coming
year, the new administration might well take into serious
consideration some of the often-heard criticisms of the
AWS, criticisms voiced by coeds every day. Chief among
coeds' complaints are these:
That the AWS administration is all too often merely
LETTERIP
a tool of higher authorities, that its yields too often to
pressure brought to bear from above.

Dear Students:
We of the AWGWAN staff have patiently
suffered while the members of that ais
reputable ex-daily, the Nebraskan, have
slanrtprprt ns issufl after issue. TheV aC-
cused us of crowding them out of their of
fice, while the truth is. as everyone knows,
that the office reallv belones to tne
AWGWAN. The Nebraskan has said that we
of the AWGWAN have stolen rulers and
writers. They said that we were asleep when
an original AWGANER returned.
All of this we bore with our long-suffer
inc tranauilitv. But at last the time has
come for us to speak. The Nebraskan has
tned to force us out of our office by iiooa
ing the place. This is the last straw! All we
can do now is to reveal the awiui trutn
about the Nebraskan. They have been
guilty of a dreadful act of deceit
It pains us to reveal this to the unsus
pecting students of the University of Ne
braska, but There is no such person as
Les Glotfelty. Such a person does not exist.
True, the Nebraskan staff did snatch a
passing gypsy to assume that name, to
stride about the campus and to just ac-
casionally attend classes, but the existence
of a real Les Glotfelty is pure fiction. You
ask who writes the infamous column at
tributed to this person? The answer is, as
you probably have suspected, that it is
written by none other than that infamous
vealed in its true light, we trust that the
intelligent students of this campus will stop
reading that meaningless type-setting ex
ercise and confine their literary pursuits to
that superb, incomparable humor magazine,

taining signed "special permission" cards for late hours
is one often-cited example.)
That there should be some division of powers in the
administration of the AWS, that a single board should
not exercise legislative, administrative and judicial pow
ers over all women students.
That the AWS does not fulfill its stated purpose: to
represent the will of a majority of women students on
the campus.
That the coeds themselves do not have sufficient
voice in the actions and policies o fthe AWS.
With these criticisms to guide them, members of the
news AWS administration have the opportunity to give
women students truly democratic self-government. How
well they use that opportunity remains to be seen.
Now that the Nebraskan has been re-
TO THE STUDENTS:
Is the war over? Has the miniature Peace
Conference settled everything? Are we
completely free from all war-time obliga
tions?
From the spirit of UN coeds the above
seems true! The organized houses took a
weekly count of the war-work hours. All
coeds eagerly delved into such work as
surgical dressings, tin-can squashing, and
Nebraskans for service-men.
But, recently all of this has been dropped.
UN has turned traitor! Not one of the many
volunteers has squashed a single tin-can
in the Union kitchen during the past three
weeks. Of the forty-five who are supposedly
'Rag-Tag " workers, four appeared Tuesday
night. War Stamp sales have steadily fallen,
until, at present our sales are equsl to those
of any city grade school.
Coeds, WE ARE STILL AT WAR, even
in Nebraska where it is spring; where we
have a new crop of convertibles; where we
have a few returned boys!
AH houses are again checking on war
work hours. Redemption is easy: Buy War
Stamps! Squash tin cans! Report to com
plete the unfinished mailing of the service
man's paper this coming Tuesday night!
There are many ways of getting that weekly

TRACKING DOWN
TROUBLE
This laboratory, ready to move anywhere on short
notice, runs down "crimes' against good tele
phone service. Finding these threats is one of the
many jobs of the Bell Telephone Laboratories'
scientists.
The "318" are such tilings as threads of
lint, traces of acids, or sulphur compounds in the
air-any of which might damage telephone equip,
ment.
In their interesting war work Bell Laboratories
scientists have been on a new kind of hunt They
have tracked down different materials for those
now hard to get, found others that would serve in
special conditions, and have detected in captured
equipment the kinds of material the enemy uses.
These are some examples among many of the
vays Bell System research is helping to serve
America at war.
