Business Manarer Assistant Bnsinrss Manager., Mumbo-Jumbo - - With A Message The Nebraskan has been asked several times this year why it has not printed the second semester, 1944-45, scholarship standings of the organized -groups on the cam pus. .Those grade ratings of the campus have not been published because the Nebraskan staff could not get them for love nor money. We finally did find out that the Office of Student Af fairs had figured out the averages of the organized groups on campus, but those averages were given in an umntelli gible mumbo-jumbo of points, such as 2.823, which means not one thing to the average student. Just why Dean Thompson's office insists in releasing grade averages in hieroglyphics instead of percentages, which, after all, is the grading system used in the university, is one of the un solved mysteries of the Administration building. But that's beside the point the point being that we finally did obtain the scholarship standings, not for publication, however. Aft er deciphering the Office of Student Affairs code, we be gan to see why the university would not be too eager to list the campus scholarship standings. The Office of Student Affairs listed the all-student average for second semester last year as 2.512, which, in our language, is almost a flat 75. .The all-fraternity aver age was 2.0515, or a fraction over 70. The all-men's aver age was silghtly above that with a 2.251 72, plus a frac tion. .The all-woman average rated just over the university average with a 2j604 or a 76. .The unaffiliated women's average was 2.535 or a fraction over 75, while the sorority women's average was 2.693 a fraction under 77. In the list of all social and professional and other or ganizations on campus, only four had an over 80 average. These were Phi Upsilon Omicron, a home economics honor ary, with an 83-pIus average; Omicron Nu, another home honorary, with almost an 82; Wilson hall with a fraction over 80; and Delta Sigma Delta, dental fraternity, with a fraction over 80. Ail in all, the scholastic picture is not particularly in spiring. It indicates one of two things either the faculty and the courses are rough enough that the average student cannot get a very high grade, or, and more likely, the stu dents, with exceptions of course, have not tried. One answer is discouraging to the students, the other discouraging to the professors, and the whole business is just discouraging in general! Snipe Huntin' rills JIDCE MASON By Pat Gilliran and Bet King Gee you'd think it was spring. Picnics taking over the limelight Friday nite with Taus, Sig Nus and Sig Alphs participating. ATO Rex Be yd seen with KAT Susan Lancaster. What happened to brother Bob Veeder seen chaper oning them at the Tau house la ter??? Sid Salznvan was with pe tite Phi, Bev Ramer. KKGs took over some of the Sig Nus with Capt. Paul Svoboda squiring June Korb quite a frequent twosome. Mary Dunnell, of the same hut, with pledge prexy Gene Ma J born NRO Harold Smith with beauty queen Patty Welsh, Pi Phi. Jour neying across the street to the Al pha .Chi hut, were "Flip" Grog gins to see Lila Latham Gorcue Cooley with his preference, pint size Johnny Sloss approved of the picnic weather, too. Towne club followed thru in the mood of the evening with a hay rack ride and picnic. Naomi Slaab was coupled with Jack Smith of the navy while Eleanor Edison teamed with Beta Jack Busch for a perfect evening. Even the chaperons had a wonderful time, as we hear it. Something New Added. Tau Jack Cawood has a new Idea in the pin-hanging depart ment. Seems he hung a card board pin on the dashboard of Phi Eliie Likke's convertible. Ia this case, is it the girl or the car that counts? Whether it's picnics or not the feeling of spring is in the air. There's more romance on the campus. Jody Wolcott, arrow girl, has called it steady with SAE Dick Hannisch. A little more ad vanced is triple Delta Margaret Bowen with her diamond from Ronnie Lux. Is the old steady deal on again between Phi Joan Bauer and DU Ware Christ ensen? Wonder how she worked it! In case anyone is looking for the DGees, they've migrated to Omaha for Kay Detweilers wed ding to Phi Gam Maurie Ding weiL Better watch out, fellows, those weddings are contagious. Piano Team Solos Tonite On Ford Sunday Hour Bartlett and Robertson, duo piano team appearing in Lincoln in November, with Lincoln sym phony series, are guest soloists with the Ford Sunday Evening Hour tonight. The broadcast will be aired from 7 to 8 p. m. over station KFOR of the American Broad casting company. Ah Awgwan! Ah Shestak! Ah Wilderness! Having lost itself in a forest of natural talent (alias G. T. She stak) the Awgwan managed to grope its way out, in spite of the fact that the one man pubhea tion's one man was G. Tierney Perhaps Wimberly is giving him three hours credit in English 211 Speaking of Wimberly reminds us of our promise, made long ago, to present the most idiosyncrasy pervaded professor on the cam pus once a week. We haven't done this before because we wouldn't be a good student council mem ber if we kept our promises. (Take it easy, Edith, we're just kiddin'!) Ah Wimberly! It has been suggested ' that our prof join the circus as the only living man who can lecture with out moving his lips or modulating his voice. He and Prof. Gray, of current affairs fame, are our candidates for the profs with the most sleep-inducing voices the only trouble is they have a favor ite trick of catching some slu dent, who has given up the struggle with his eyelids, and ask ing him some startling question, such as ' and what do you think of the attack from Mars?" Very disturbing. Ah sleep! Bernard is troubled. He's afraid the instructor will think he's not really interested in his physics recitation class but golly. 1:00 p. m. is an awful time to stay awake! For the first ten minutes Bern ard does pretty well his eyes are open and his head is holding up pretty well on its own. Then his eye begin to open unusually wide and gradually the whites take possession, with the brown part uncontrollably slipping be low the horizon. A sudden jeck of the head restores equilibrium and Bernard raises a blank face to his instructor who smiles knowingly. But resistance wears down in a moment and he supports his weighty head upon one hand first. This goes well until sleep creeps through the arm prop and a sud den collapse takes place. A quick recovery is executed as the nose comes within an inch of the desk top and everyone breathes more freely. Then Bernard tries a new ap proach, sliding down in his seat and resting his head against the back. The seat in front is too close; the back of his seat is two low; the result is the uncomfort- UMT feigia watch at nfty Ttmrnday cum.

He is now making a tour of 25 selected cities in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas and able position of two knees in his lap and his neck stretched at an impossible swallowing angle. A few moments of this and Bernard is again sitting up, prop ping his eyes open with his pencil and gazing at the instructor. Just as the cornea is disappearing be low the lower lids, the bell rings and Bernard jumps up. wide awake, and strides happily out of class. a Ah men! Things are looking up this year. The men have descended into the grave and dragged up the long forgotten inter-fraternity council for artificial respiration. They've had a couple of meetings and the press is anxiously awaiting a pro found official statement. They really dont have to do anything profund though. It's enough just having them back and why break tradition? Missouri on behalf of the Victory War Loan drive and war charities. Interviews Servicemen.
