This week will give UN students their last opportunity to view the Nebraska Art association's 55th annual exhibi tion, which closes a four-week showing in the University's Morril Hall galleries on Easter Sunday, April 1. It is an ancient maxim that, because of its very prox imity, we often overlook beauty that is close to us. This has undoubtedly held true with the many students who have not as yet found time to make the short trip to Mor rill Hall to view what is considered by experts one of the finest art exhibitions in the entire United States. ThoBe students who have not yet witnessed the exhibit would do well to open their eyes to the beauty which is so close to them, visit Morrill Hall sometime before the exhibition closes next Sunday. 6 Still Another Reason9 . . . A great increase in enrollment once the war ends that,, according to numerous surveys, is what American colleges and universities can expect once the war ends. Like other schools all over the country, the University of Nebraska hopes to share in this increased enrollment, this great influx of students. .UN officials have predicted that the university can boost its enrollment by thousands when the war ends. But, these same officials warn, the university must maintain a strong faculty if it is to attract and hold students in the postwar years. .For, they point out, students after the war (especially those under the CI Bill of Rights) will have a greater latitude of choice than ever before in choosing what school they will attend, and they will naturally flock in great numbers only to those in stitutions which boast a truly first class faculty. Thus we have still another reason why the university's annual appropriation must be Increased, why the univer sity must be given more money. For more money is ab solutely essential if UN is to boost faculty salaries, main tain that first-rate teaching staff which will attract stu dents in great numbers in postwar vyears. V . . . - Mail Clippings Miami Pastor Strongly Vetoes Secret Marriages in Lecture ACP "I don't know how any one can say, 'here spirit begins and matter ends,' " declared Dr. Elliott Porter, pastor of the "Spiritual Aspects of Marriage," at Miami university. Defining love as a fusion of ro mance plus high companionship, Dr. Porter emphasized the fact that physical love and attraction is not enough, that the possibility i of the continual excitement of fall ing in love defies the laws of hu man nature, "Statistics reveal that there is a greater chance for a successful marriage where both parties at tend church regularly, and have a common relationship to some church home," asserted Dr. Porter. He pointed out, however, that in many homes God is called upon by parents only when a child or some loved-one Is dead or dying, and altho many couples consclen tiously go to church every Sun day many derive no spiritual com fort from the sermons. Dr. Porter accented the need for an intelligent and loyal in terest In the church, where cou pies may stand together in a dif ferent ways. "Love should shine in different colors," Tie emphas ized. Besides being a mother, mate, daughter, you should be a com petitor to your husband." Accustomed to counselling the prospective bride and groom. Dr. Porter freely offered marital ad vice to an attentive audience. He ried, he should have lived a fig urative 1000 lives, some wretched, chaste, faithful marriages, some celibate and solitary years." "Those who marry just to be happy," he continued, "will have incidental and shallow partner ships while those who strive to achieve compatibility with some tears and heartbreak will enjoy successful marriages." Scoffing at the "carrots" who claim they never have had a cross word in 50 years of married life, he pre dieted, to quote Lippman, "love and nothing else is very soon nothing, else." Dr. Torter sees two stages in a man's and woman's partnership, the falling in love stage and the adaptation stage. The latter, he be' lieves, is the more demanding, when the two must work their problems out together, but also is the one with the richer and more intriguing experience. Strongly vetoing secret mar riages, Dr. Porter urged couples to get set up housekeeping as soon as possible, "even tho it's only one room over the butcher shop." "There is no sense in isolating love from the business of life," he declared. He warred the female audience against tucking themselves away in a love nest, reiterating that you can't perpetuate the excitement of falling in love. Voicing his own religious views, Dr. Porter con cluded by asserting his conviction LT. J. G. CALVIN BURCKHART, Sig Chi and Pre-Med student, has an impressive war record. As witnessed by his possession of the South Pacific ribbon, 2 battle stars, the Philippine invasion star, D.F.C. and the air medal. Lt. BURCKHART was a dive bomb er pilot on the "Big Enterprize" and can hang the scalps of a Jap cargo ship, a Jap destroyer, and an aircraft carrier on his belt. SECOND LT. BERNARD BENNET, Sig Alph, has been promoted to first lieutenant. He is in-Italy with the 15 A.A.F. where he is lead navigator on a Flying Fortress. He has been awarded the air medal and has two presidential citations. SGT. JOHN C. BUSBY, Sig Ep, is serving with a fighter group of the Chinese-Ameri can Composite Wing, 14th Air Force. Ser geant BUSBY is entitled to wear the Asiatic-Pacific campaign ribbon with one bat tle participation star. The Chinese-American Wing of which his fighter group is a part is composed of both Americans and Chinese. It has compiled an enviable rec ord against the Japanese thruout China. CAPT. JAMES WAY, is leading a flight of P-51 Mustangs in a fighter group that has destroyed more than 300 nazi planes in combat. He is assigned to the 359th Fighter Group. Besides escorting bombers, Captain WAY and his flight have strafed and blast ed enemy ground installations at tree-top level. LT. ESTHER HORSH, who has been the chief dietian in the Station Hospital, Camp Robinson, Little Rock, Ark., and who is now being transferred to Governors Island, New York, was a recent visitor in the Home Eco nomics department. Lieutenant HORSH graduated from the department in 1940. BERNARD ANDERSON. Sigma Nu, is spending his navy leave visiting his parents and old friends about the campus. CAPT. JOHN HANLAN has received the distinguished flying cross during a parade and review at his Eighth Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress base in England. He was decorated with the DFC for his work as lead bombardier in a series of attacks on LETTERIP Dear Students: We of The NEBRASKAN have with Stoic endurance withstood all manner of libelous and slanderous attacks from that upstart ex-humor magazine, the AWCWAN, even going so far as to publicly print their Quix otic charges. By sheer physical violence they usurped our fair office. They arrog antly appropriated Nebraskan rulers and confused freshmen reporters, making them AWGWAN executive editors and managing editors. The AWGWANERS rise at 11:51, report for work at 2:30 and skip lightly out again at 3:15. All of this we bore with our characteristic tolerance and bubbling good-humor. But at last the time has come for us to speak. The AWGWAN has savagely devastated our copy paper, brutally laid waste our type writers, and wantonly ravaged our ances tral homeland, the Union basement! It be comes our painful tho necessary duty to reveal the startling and ghastly truth about the AWGWAN. They are .guilty of an aw ful act. Rather THE NEBRASKAN forego a hun- Letterips than reveal this, but since the AWGWAN has so cruelly laid bare the se cret of Les Glotfelty, we can but say there is no such person as Bill Miller. Such a person does not exist. True, the AW GWAN did revive an expiring funeral-di rector to assume that name, to glower about the campus and to attend closses with never a cut, but the existence of a real Bill Miller is pure fiction. You ask who writes the foolish babblings which only the AWGWAN will print, ascribed to this per son? The answer is, as you nave probably suspected, that it is not written at all. Phyllis Johnson slips out every third Tues day night when the moon is full and at the precise spot where the shadow of the lone pine tree falls at the stroke of 12:27 a. m. digs down three feet until she finds the ar ticles, neatly typed on onionskin. Now that the AWGWAN has been re vealed in this ghastly green light, we trust that the campus will never again touch an other AWGWAN but will continue to read with absorbed fascination that superb, un comparable newspaper, THE NEBRAS KAN. W. Becker, nazi war plants. Captain HANLAN is a member of the 388th Bomb. Group, a unit of the Third Air division, the division cited by the president for its shuttle mission to Africa when Messerschmitt plants at Re gensburg were bombed. Faculty Notes Postwar compulsory military training is advocated by Dr. Ed win . Sharp Burdell, director of Cooper Union, who, in The Pio neer, student publication, declares "the whole argument rests on broad conceptions of national de fense and of world peace rather than on the convenience of the educational system. The attrac tion of the colleges to American youth is slight indeed if it is seriously threatened by a mili tary interlude," says Dr. Burdell, discussing the division of opinion among the nation's educators. Because he checked the rain fall and climate of the United States and found southern New alty to God by which, they are bound, he basis for a successful family life is well-assured." Mexico the best place to spend the winter, Dr. E. E. Dale, pro fessor of biology at Union College, Schenectady, New York, is visit ing New Mexico A. & M.'s cam pus on a combined vacation and study trip. Dr. Dale has spent most of his time in A. & M. botany department, studying New Mexico's wild plant life and ex perimenting with the heredity of flowers. He will return to Union College in time for the opening of the Navy V-12 program there. "War Conditioning," a physical training course for men at the University of Texas which is de signed to give civilian students "toughening" for military serv ice, is now three years old. The University is believed to be the only school which has continued such a course. It was initiated at the university, and taught in many colleges and universities soon after the war began. jt&r jr Omul mm w m at. g stated that "before one gets mar; that "If elders have a higher loy Siesta Film, 5:00 Wed., March 28, in Lounge FREE VARIETY SHOW Randolph Scott and Ella Raines in "CORVETTE" with Cartoon Lorraine Woita and Cecil Smith 3:00 P.M., SUNDAY, APRIL 1 UNION BALLROOM COFFEE iiOUR, S fo 6, IN LOUNGE SAY IT WITH FLOWERS PANIELSON FLORAL CO. 2-2234 For Your Dancing Feet JUKE BOX DANCES 5:00, Wed., March 28 4 to 6, Friday, March 30 9 to 11:30, Friday Mar. 31 and RILEY SMITH'S BAND 9 to 12, SAT., MAR. 31 With Rrrlmti mi 19:39 UNION BALLROOM Admission By Cord 1306 N L- -
