"Last year's enrollment of 7,798
In correspondence study courses
made the University of Nebraska
the fourth largest institution in
the United States in this field of
work," declared Dr. Knute O
Broady, director of the university
extension division, in an address
to the Lincoln Rotary club Tues
day.
"In fact, the University of Ne
braska is the recognized leader
nationally in the high school cor
respondence field. It produces
more than half the syllabi that
are used throughout the country,
he said.
Not "Campus Affair"
Dr. Broady insisted that the
university is not purely a "cam
pus affair," but a service insti
tution to the state. Any individual
or group in the state can turn to
its own university in confidence
that assistance is available, he
added.
The extension division offers
nine types of activities: evening
and Saturday classes on and off
the campus, college and high
school correspondence study, cm
zenship education by correspon
dence, film service, school build
ing advisory service, travelling
art galleries, publication of in
structional materials, community
program service, and conferences
and institutes. Each is provided
in cooperation with -some college.

Autumn Day
Bids French
Class Frolic
BY TRIPHAMMER PEEPASII.
The weather is warm, the sun
is blazing and the French pro
fessor drones the language in a
dull, sleepy voice. This is one of
those bright blue October days,
which is a crime to spend any
where but out enjoying the poetic
beauty of it all.
To keep classes is a detriment
to the university. The professors
are liable to go mad from
gathering wandering minds from
thoughts other than French and
likewise eyes from the windows.
Autumn Not for Studying.
Balmy autumn days weren't
meant to be spent in musty Uni
versity hall either, so I'll rebel
with thought of my own on my
"druther- dos." Gazing out the
narrow window, I see some navy
boys passing on their gleeful way.
They must be warm in their wool
uniforms, but I envy their free
dom in the open spaces.
If I had my way, a picnic would
be the order of the day. Various
gulches around the edge of town"
are no doubt beautiful now with
fall colors. Even from this hard
desk, I can see six varieties of
green, four of yellow, red and
brown, and the gray underside of
the poplar leav.es.
Talking of leaves, they are fall
ing fast on the lawns, from which
the fraternity and sorority pledges
will soon be raking them. That
task finished, there will be a
blaze and the inevitable wiener
roast. Now I'm reminded of my
favorite subject, food, and how
excellent a hot fudge sundae
would taste in the crib.
Convertibles and Photography.

just buzzed by on R street, head
ing east. The Yum-Yum Hut will
be their next stop, and then out
in the country for some snaps
of themselves and the scenery
On my way to this unblessed
class, I noticed several groups
taking advantage of this remark
able picture-taking weather.
Even that yellow monstrosity
of a convertible had its top down
today as it whizzed around the
campus. This day would even
be warm enough for a beach
party at Linoma or Valley with
a picnic naturally involved.
And now between the monoto
nous voices in the classroom and
the sound of that airplane slowly
drifting over, I'm getting sleepier
and sleepier. Maybe classes
should be held outside today.
The futilely opened pages of the
book wherein all my French is
contained are getting closer and
closer. Must keep my mind on
the verbs . . . the nouns . , . the
verbs . . . the no . . . And the
French class drowses on.

Get the mop out and clean up
your mind, Mr. Shestak . . . this
is not a reply to your Awgwan
devotion . . . don't waste your
time and read on . . .
While traveling among un
known men one notices that the
bearded of the species think they
are pretty cute . . . after several
years in college they are naively
confident that the witty remarks
they make are devoured by
women without so much as the
blinking of an eyelash . . . and
the movies do not hinder their
egos . . .
Take Van Johnson (and who
wouldn't?) who wrinkled his
freckled nose and cooed, "How
come you're so cute?" . . . why,
we were sent clear out - of this
world and several others ... we
sat in history 9 class and visioned
Van wondering why we were so
cute and really had all sorts of
replies for him. After a few eons

BY BET KING.
This is the weekend for migra
tions. Everyone has chosen either
Ames or Omaha as their goal. The
Gamma Phi's are going to storm
the Iowa town en masse. Groups
from other houses will be there to
enjoy the game. Football has been
cutting into the weekends of Pi
Phi Kathy Legge and Phi Psi Bob
Tegt. This weekend, though, she
can follow him to Ames.
The ATO's are making a party
of it by taking their dates. Lin
coln was never like this before,
and we'll lay odds that Ames will
never be the same again.
Omaha Migration.
Among the group migrating to
Omaha will be Harlan Helgerson
of the Beta house and Phi Donna
Lou Peterson. There's a rumor
that another Phi-Beta duo, Blackie
Blanchard and Gene Rainey, will
join them. An interesting time
should be had by all.
Never let it be said that a Beta
lacks a sense of humor. Bill
Swanson proved 'taint so. He pre
sented kite-girl Dona Leigh Brugh
with a huge cardboard Beta pin.
The question is, was it all in fun?
The grapevine brings us the
"startling" news that a couple of
Sig Alpha's and Sigma Nu's are
planning to enjoy the lovely picnic
weather tonight. This friendly
spirit on the part of fraternities is
always amazing.

Why Can't Men Be Original?
Then, Dana Andrews had to go
and notice that his leading lady's
hair bounced as she cavorted
around the fair grounds. We
practiced bouncing our hair and
they caught on to that, too . . .
"Baby, you're what I have been
waiting for . . . your hair bounces,"
was heard between every traffic
light on O street. Now we don't
care if our hair bounces, skips
or runs away with itself. If the
script writers can dream up these
vaguely romantic quips, why can't
the boys with whom we coke and

Brek-ups occur all the time, it
seems. This time it's Gamma Phi
Ann Doudna who no longer wears
the Beta diamond of Dick Cullen.
The line forms to the right, guys.
The Brighter Side.
On the happier side is the news
that Phi Bev Murray sports a pin
from Ken Kimball, Omaha med
student. In the same group is
arrow-gal Mary Sherwood with
her diamond from Lt. (j.g.) Blake
Moranville of the Navy Air Corps.
One of the more fortunate of the
engaged girls, Phyl Westcott of
the triple Delta house, has her
fiance, Roy Ramer back as a
civilian. Sister Shirley Strunk has
Pvt. Bob Smith on his toes. He
sends red roses by the dozen for
no apparent reason. Good deal.
