Challenge to UN
Editor, Daily Nebraskan
University of Nebraska
Lincoln, Nebraska
Dear Editor:
Of course you won't know me. I'm just one of many
ex-students now overseas on occupational duty who left the
university three years ago. If you care to know anything
about me, or any of us ex-students, now servicemen, you
can check at the registrar's office or with Lew at the Coli
seum.
I don't know anything about campus activities except
that from an army western Pacific newspaper I learned Ne
braska won its last few football games. You see I haven't
had any news from the university in over a year. I am only
an ex-student who has been forgotten by his Alma Mater.
Granted, it is too much clerical work and expense to send
news to so many servicemen with their constantly changing
addresses. Perhaps it is better that we old soldiers write you
for information.
The question I have, which may be shared by two or
three uniformed ex-students, filling occupational combat
boots such as mine, is this: Do you want us back at Ne
braska? Certainly you've shown no interest in us. (I don't
blame you: soldiers are such trouble-makers with their many
problems of readjustment.) However, I will admit that if
our experience of the past three years or so were directed
toward rebuilding Nebraska to its prewar status and in
shaping a greater university, we might not be a problem to
you, but even an asset.
This letter is meant as constructive 'criticism. Organi
zations may already have been formed on the campus to
reach out to servicemen creating interest in their own
school. Corresponding with many men who have attended
Nebraska, I have learned that many do not plan to return
there. Certainly, if these men were being influenced by stu
dents now in school their interest would be greater.
Can the student body of Nebraska allow their own student-servicemen
to be let down? The university cannot af
ford to lose the faith of the men who have left it to join the
service. J
What Nebraska will do remains to be seen.

The Cornhusker has a Christmas tree! (The
Rae and Awewan are jealous.) If Pat Lahr finds
any of the decorations missing oh her big tree in
the lounge, she'll know where to look for them.
Pee Wee Novotny came tripping gaily into The
Nebraskan office yesterday morning carrying this
pretty little evergreen and, finding the door to the
Cornhusker locked, set the tree down blithely bid
ding the Rag staff to "watch over it" until she re
turned. Now Pee Wee Novotny is a junior woman
and consequently very naive! She should have
smelled trouble the minute she walked in, because
the Rag staff workers had all stopped typing and
were eyeing her, silently and suspiciously. The
minute she made her request, however, every face
assumed a remarkably innocent countenance and
sly smiles began to appear.
Five minutes later, Pee Wee came back with a
key to the Cornhusker office no tree!
(Editor's Note: Later developments it grieves us
to announce that the Cornhusker, after a diligent
search, found their tree and have stomped into their
office, dragging it by the branches, and locking the
door behind them.)
Stu Goldberg just walked in and it appears he
is going to make out the ad layout. Maybe this will
get in print after all.
One more little item first. We entered the dark.
gloomy hall of social science the other day at
sometime around 8 o'clock in the morning. A half
way familiar back was groping its way up the
stairs, mindful of the bannister. In a bright cheery
voice, we called out:
"Hi Brownie!"
The figure lurched to a stop, slowly turned its
foggy gaze on us, made a wry face and resumed its
journey. With a bound we were at its side, gazing

It appears that the Sigma Alpha Iota Music so
rority, is on the job as usual with a Christmas
caroling program for the Faculty Women's club
this Wednesday Dec. 12. Thursday S.A.I, also held
their annual Founders' Day banquet at the Corn
husker hotel.
Delta Omicron and Sinfonia, two of the music
fraternities on campus, held a joint party at the
Y.W.C.A. Friday, Dec. 7. Entertainment was pro
vided by a girl's quartet, an accordion duet, and
an impromptu take-off skit on the faculty. Mr.
Blythe played some of his own arrangements of
modern piano music. Dance music for the evening
was provided by the juke box.
On the music calendar William Primrose, vio
ist, will appear at the coliseum this week. The an
nual university Christmas program, Handel's "Mes
siah," will be held today at the coliseum at 3
o'clock under the direction of Arthur E. Westbrook.
Off the Record.
An irresistible dance disc from Tommy Dorsey
and his orchestra is his latest RCA Victor release,
"The Moment I Met You." The band delivers with
a groovy rhythm which has an unusually original
orchestration sparking the introductory bars. The
sentimentalists sing in their smooth harmonic fash
ion with a lively lyrical, punch that accents the
song's heavy, slow beat.
curiously at the long face and delicately held head.
Then we received a lecture on the nastiness of
scaring people early in the morning and of being
cheerful and bright at such inopportune moments.
Say, did you hear about the going-away party
some of the boys threw for Al Liedel the other
night?
