Another One?
And still another organization!
War Council dropped off of the university organization
list early this year, and we thought that maybe some of the
more unnecessary activities and organizations were to be
weeded out. Instead, we added another one to the already
overgrown list last week when the Inter-Organization Coun
cil decided to perpetuate itself.
This council is composed of representatives of every
organized house and extra-curricular activity on the cam
pus. It's purpose is to bring about co-ordination and co
operation between the many organizations on the campus,
with the aim of giving all organizations opportunity to un
derstand one another and get together on policies and pro
grams. The Inter-Org Council will be under the Student
Council in that a Student Council member will have charge
of scheduling meetings and notifying members, but will re
main an independent activity as far as action is concerned.
The organization has a noble purpose, but the whole
business seems a little pointless to us. We already have
more organizations on this campus than we can find use for.
Most of the present groups do have a distinction of doing
something more or less useful, however. But all the Inter
Org Council can do is talk. Of course, the Council hasn't
been given adequate opportunity to prove itself yet, and if
it can manage to dig up some definite, concrete service
which it performs, then more power to it. If, however, the
Inter-Org Council remains on the impotent and abstract
basis on which it was founded, then, like War Council and
.like perhaps moribund Coed Counselors will some day, it
should bite the dust!
Aces in Entertainment
Tonight is the annual Orchesis Christmas recital.
This modern dance group of the university, under the
direction of Dr. Aileen Lockhart of the women's physical
education department, presents two recitals annually, one
at Christmas time and the other in the spring. The Orchesis
members and the recitals have become very well known
around Lincoln, more outside the university than within.
The dance presentations represent a tremendous amount
of work and skill on the part of the dancers and the director,
and any students who have attended the recitals in previous
years can attest to their excellence.
Tonight's recital is set for 7:30 in Grant Memorial.
There is no admission charge although the presentations are
easily worth a price. For an evening of superior entertain
ment, the Orchesis Christmas recital can't be topped.

... ON STAGE EVERYBODY. . .
Tuesday night at the half the NRO'S skipped
out into the middle of the floor, took a quick look
around, smiled, straightened their lines, and then
swung into one of the most unusual performances
ever witnessed by a group of college students . . .
they had on khaki (very little) and white cotton
shirts . . . they gave a superb show and tripped off
in a burst of uncontrollable applause. . .
. . . LOVE . . . LOVE . . LOVE. . .
The Christmas season has everyone in a merry
mood . . . some of the beaming ones do not beam
because of the season however . . . they go with
girls they like. . . Al Yearly is a good example . . .
he and Marilyn Harris sparkle at each other every
minute . . . and wonder why there are only 60 in
on hour. . . Shirley Lewis is going with Mr. John
son and liking it . . . lovely couple. . .
The Sigma Kappa house party Saturday eve
ning will be very entertaining for Bill KemniU,,,
he is attending the affair with Lona Leonard. . ,
Jim Lundberg will also be there ... he will party
with Miss Carolyn Koehne . . . that name looks
familiar. . . FLASH. . . The newest and most excit
ing romance on the campus is really baffling
everyone. . . It i." the most important love affair
since the NRO's have been here . . . the two are
made for each other and they realize it. . . The
perfect couple is Mr. Ed. Kamerling and Miss Betty
Storjohn ... he calls her "Bitsy". . .
Miss Nadine Anderson is sitting on the desk
begging me for this typewriter. . . Shirley Camp
bell is sitting on my lap typing this for me. . ,
Marilyn Miller is trying to help me think of a
name for a column. . . Now if all these girls were
pestering you, wouldn't you leave and go to some
nice quiet place and relax? ? ? ? All right . . .
then let's say I ran out of paper. . , So good night
everyone . . . and remember that with all this cold
weather ahead, you should keep plenty of alcohol
in your radiators. . .

Help!
What's that ? ?
Geez Louise!
And so ran the comments Monday morning
when Cletus Fischer walked into the Crib wearing
the latest creation in men's hats. At least we
guessed it was a hat it was on his head anyway
and said head seemed to be enjoying its presence.
Huh, and men yell about women's hats!
This fugitive from a yarn factory (getting
back to the subject of Fischer's hat) is striped in
red, white, blue and maroon. It is what we used
to call, in our grade school days, a stocking cap.
With two exceptions. Namely, two navy blue,
round globs of fuzz sticking out from either side.
For a long time we gazed at the hat (along
with 20 other Crib occupants) and gradually we
saw it begin to creep up from around his ears,
toward the top of his head. The two blue globs
traveled right along with the cap until pretty soon
they had assumed a position on the top of the
head, about where one might find, if one used
one's imagination, a pair of horns. The hat perched
thus precariously upon the top of Cletus' head,
looking as if it were ready to take off at a moment's
notice.
After more careful scrutiny, in which time we
managed to add four more furrows to our fore
head, we discovered that the peculiar blue globs
were nothing more than a pair of unruly ear
muffs. The band connecting the muffs was con
cealed under the upturned edge of the cap and
its tendency to contract and press against the head
was causing the cap to be forced upward until the
muffs came close enough together to stop the con
traction and bring the hat to a state of inertia atop
the head.
You TOO can solve such simple problems by
enrolling: in a course in physics 1 for a mere
twenty dollar fee. Only one easily comprehensible
text book required: "Physicological Stereosiomer
ism and Its Accompanying- Phenomena." Guar
anteed to pass with a mere one hour of study for
ten minutes of class. Five exciting hoars of lab
for each hoar of recitation. Harry, put year name
on the waiting list now so yon will be sure to ret
into a class next semester!
Ishkaboda bluey bluey phweet tee ta blub ha
ha ha ha ha he he chuckle chuckle .- . . hold on
there, hold on you've GOT to learn to put
THINKGS like that oat of your mind!
And while we're putting things out of our
mind, let's not go back to Fischer's hat.
Dutch Meyer, who is peering over our
shoulder, Bob Gillan having just left, wants to
know what "thinkgs" are. This word, featured
two paragraphs above (providing the proof readers
don't read too carefully), is interposed in order to
give UN students something to brood over during
lectures, when reading the textbook might seem
insulting to the teacher. Dutch is also yelling
around, trying to attract the attention of some one
who knows how to spell "Albakurkee." He cant
understand why the Getta Pies have to hold their
annual convention in Albacerkie why they can't
pick a city easier to spell. Gee he must be dumb!
Lou says we have ads today so I'd better stop.

Dean Harper said Phi Upsflon
Omicron, home economics soro

campus the second semester of the
1944-45 school year, with Omicron
Nu, also a home economics so
rority, in second place. One or
the other of these two organiza

third place continually in the last
ten years.
Contrary to general belief Beta
University of Nebraska is not
named after William Jennings
Bryan. It is named after the state
of Nebraska, which lies between
Kansas and South Dakota.
Contrary to general belief the
typewriter was not invented by
Don Ameche. Les Glotfelty in
vented it so she could get people
on the staff who couldn't write.
Did you know that the average
bust measurement of Guernsey
