Last Chance ...
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.

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.
