all, is an eternity away.
Oscar.
First, there is Oscar, the
"grind." Oscar sees ahead of him
four beautiful days in which he
can do nothing but read encyclo
pedias. There will be no one to
bother him with drab social ac
tivities, no time out for meals,
except, of course, a turkey ssnd
wich and a glass of buttermilk for
Thanksgiving dinner After all,
if our ancestors overtaxed their
digestive systems by gorging
themselves with goodies, why
can't he overdo just today?
And then there is Violet, the
social butterfly. Violet burns
every book immediately after her
Jast Wednesday class and sends I
off her trunks filled with just I
those little necessities for the holi- !
days. She arrives home only to '
find that Jana has broken a date!
with her. Naturally, it is a hor
rible shock for her to find that
she hasn't a thing to do from 2
to 3 on Friday, but we have faith

Idea Makes Hit
The idea made a hit with the
soldiers and before Sgt. Matthews
received his discharge papers over
200 of his home planning sets
were being used by the hospital.
Once again a civilian, Matthews
immediately began organizing his
"game" into a home planning bus
iness with headquarters at Denver.
His partner in the business, Rich
ard Pei I, a former GI, and Mat
thews decided to make the ven
ture a profit sharing setup in
which only veterans could parti
cipate. They now have represen
tatives in over hall the states and
soon will have a national organi
zation. Convalescent Hospitals
While at Fort Logan Sgt. Mat
thews, to put it bluntly, didn't
like the way the government's
convalescent hospitals were laid
out. Sketching some plans of what
he thought they ought to look like
they were promptly forwarded to
the Aid Surgeon's office in the
War Department.
The plans caught the interest of
Col. Howard A. Rusk who later
retired and joined the Bernard
Baruch Committee on Physical
Medicine. Col. Rusk took the plans
along with him to the Baruch
committee, but not before recom
mending Sgt. Matthews for the
Legion of Merit award.
Goes to New York
While home visiting some
friends in Scottsblul'f, Matthews
received an invitation to come to
New York and explain his hos
pital plan to the committee.
Matthews told the committee he
thought convalescent hospitals
ought to be entirely under one
roof instead of separate buildings
as they are now. To help com
munities pl?n these hospitals Mat
thews prepared a set of plans
similar to his "cut out game" for
homes. The whole idea was ac
cepted by the Baruch committee.
Later it is to be given national
distribution.
Five O'Glock Whistle Clears
Campus as NRO's Head Home
BY SHIRLEY JENKINS
At the moment tie five o'clock
whistle blows this afternoon (or
do they ring bells iii Navy Hall?)
the campus will automatically be
cleared of those now-familiar
Navy blues.
Spreading out in all directions
from Lincoln, the blue horde will
head east, west, north and south
for those four wonderful days of
Thanksgiving vacation leave.
Going South ,
Going south for the winter (at
least part of it) is Marv Averill
who will take the trail tor Tulsa,

the house and not leave it. I have

degrading slump even yet.
Jean.
Then there is the average coed,
Jean, who plans a very casual va
cation. She will, of course, want
a little time for studying, a little
ttme for visiting with her parents
and friends, a day or so of shop
ping, dating several nights, catch
ing up on her letter writing, see
ing some of the movies she has
missed in her past crowded weeks
at school, getting plenty of sleep,
and just generally taking it easy.
If you don't fit into any of
thes typical groups, never fear,
you may have fun yet.

the account of the magnificent
student and team spirit during
Homecoming. Tabulating each
rally and parade, the Alumnus
summed up the whole hectic week
by saying, "The students made
sure the townspeople knew the
Nebraska students were behind
their team 100!"

With the same idea in mind,
Jack Hill boards the train for
Chicago to see his folks and
brother and sister, whom he will
see for the first time in a year.
Also Chicago-bound is Jerry Neal,
while Ben Dalyrymple will get off
the train irK Evanston. Getting off
at Evanston with him is Bill
Peterson.
Ralph Graves and Duff Beck
are travelling to Wisconsin, but
not because they live there. Seems
they were stationed -in Madison
some time ago and met some
coeds up there. Ralph will eat
turkey in Marshfield, Wisconsin
and Duff will stay in Madison for
dinner.
Jim Pettis will leave Nebraska
for a vacation in Minnesota with
his parents.
Stay-At-Homes
Staying in Nebraska are Bill
Hunter and Joe Becker. They
won't be in Lincoln, however, but
in Arcadia with Bill's fiancee.
Two Nebraska-born boys are
hopping the train for home, too.
Larry James will go to Grand
Island and John Bergstrom to
Chappie.
Subsistence for meals will be
paid to the 10 or 12 sailors who
are staying in Lincoln, so they can
enjoy a turkey dinner anywhere
in town.
Although .most people are not
aware of it, General Grant is not
buried in Grant's Tomb. The
crypt is occupied by an obscure
shoe clerk named Ginsburg.
