Charter Day, 1946, marks the end of 76 years in the life of the university. At the beginning of the 77th year, students and faculty are desperately trying to readjust themselves to a normal college existence after four years of abnormality. For the second time in the three-quarters of a century f its operation, the university has successfully passed thru a world war. In 1919 and the years succeeding, the univer sity expanded thru building, scientific advancement and ad ditional students. There was no GI Bill of Rights, no great interest in education. 450 actual need for a college education in the business world m those days following World war I Thru the 20's and 30's, interest and need for higher education has developed by leaps and bounds. With the added incentive of the GI Bill, the national enrollment in colleges and universities has swamped most of them. Seventy-seven year old Nebraska is no exception. How ever, it is only too possible that after the predominating problems of registration and housing have been settled, the university may settle down to its war-time quiet and com placency, content to do just what has to be done, secure m its own perfection. To counteract the possibility of slipping into the same old rut, one suggestion, if followed, would lessen the chance. That suggestion, stated in one word, is the time-honored and oft-repeated "Think." Thought about what the world needs for reconstruc tion, and more immediately about what the university needs in the way of administration, both student and faculty, will bring forth ideas which can be made the basis for action. Once an act is started, its own momentum will carry it on to a conclusion. I Confusion Says 3 Don Grube i One-hundred and twenty volts of electricity are conducted to each bunk; two thousand bells ring for about half an hour and the Irainees slowly begin to open their eyes. It isn't morning yet, but ac cording to navy standards, time to get up. The first thing to be done is to get the platoon leaders and battalion staff up before the OOD comes around. This mission com pleted, the "enlisted" men make their bunks, and alter slipping out of "this" and into "that," start the long trip to the washroom for shave and other miscellaneous duties. Sometimes someone says something, but this is most un usual. It is difficult enough just getting down stairs. After the bath is finished, the men feeling a little refreshed but still looking rather poor, ascend the stairs and slip on some clothes prior to leaving the building. By this time the conversation has . loosened up and names start fly ing all over the place . . . Lee Hering, Don Minster, and the "gang" discuss the female mem . bers, which include Ann Frost Lucybelle Pierce, "Janie" and many others with whom the au thor is not yet acquainted. Help Wanted? Joe Brown informs Bill Hen derson that he can take care of both Donna Lou Peterson and Betty Sparks very nicely without any help. This doesn't go over so big with Marlow Halbakken, however, who quite cleverly sug gests that perhaps he can be of some help . . . Pat Chritol walks around in a half daze continually chanting the name Marion Wolfe ... He just met her but already thinks she is just woooonderful . . . Everyone else talks about Lieutenant Steinkellner, USNNNN who is one cf the newer basket ball stars. At about seven o'clock, another bell rings and the men line up for muster . . . After this is com pleted, Bill Huxley sneaks in . . . Nevertheless, he is sly about the whole thing ... He appears swinging from chandelier to chan delier and finally drops into his assigned place . . . someone else is already there, but after picking himself up, he nonchalantly moves on to another less dangerous po sition. When both companies have marched off to what is supposedly on appetizing meal, the bell rings again, but no one is there to heed it . . . Navy Hall is lifeless and insignificant ... All that made it a living thing, a useful build ing, has left . . . The Navy has gone to breakfast . . . Church (Continued from Page 1.) will be conducted by the Rev. Lowell C. Bryant. Regular Sun day morning services at the church are to be held at 10:45. Newman Club in XYZ. Services at the University Epis copal church on Sunday morning are at 8:30 and 11:00. The New man club mass will be said in parlors XYZ of the Union at 11:00. JIisl d&k, Qan. BY SAM WARREN. THE D I D-Y O U-K N O W-DEPART-MENT: That the psychologists' latest claim to fame is the theory that a bowlful of graceful-swimming goldfish is the greatest household nerve-soother to date? . . . That Jack Halloburtin hails from Texas? . . . That campus songbird Barbara Jean Olson now warbles every Tuesday evening on KFOR's air waves along with veteran student Jim Price and his violin ? . . . Then there were those of us who stum bled into Love Library last Monday with a vague idea in the back of our heads about cracking a book. (Darned if I won't keep those New Year's resolutions thru Febru ary.) No sooner settled in Humanities read ing room than the doors from the Docu ments room were thrust open and in parades a retenue of solemn-faced, hat-clutching men easily past their prime. These odd-fellows gaze wonderingly at the fluorescent lights, the orderly bookshelves and the pret ty girls. This unique distraction could have been tolerated if a reserved, (Usually soft spoken librarian hadn't rushed up before the men and boomed out "THIS IS THE HUMANITIES READING ROOM" in a shout that would have made Lionel Barry more jealous! Already knowing that this was the Hu manities reading room, we quietly picked up cAir Culbertson Handbook and True Comics in favor of the Reserve reading room, first floor. But you guessed it. Five minutes after we had settled down to study "Ragged Edges" for Journalism O, the silence was broken by a not too feminine voice proclaim ing with fervor "THIS IS THE RESERVE READING ROOM WHERE STUDENTS JUST PLAINLY STUDY!" Plainly seeing that this student couldn't study we made a swift exit, thinking "We'll try it once more." Now we learn that quote, More tours of this nature will be conducted in the fu ture, unquote. Pardon us while we utter a frenzied scream. LETTER IP Editor, Daily Ncbiaskan: The University is having red tape troubles again. Or should we say, yet. Sitting downtown in one of the camera stores is a beautiful, shiny new enlarger destined someday for the photographic darkrooms of the journalism school. Meanwhile, the 50-some students registered in photography classes are making enlargements on a couple of broken-down, out-dated enlarge is which condescend to work sometimes. The reason the new enlarger is downtown rather than in the catacombs of U hall being used by the university students as it should be is be cause the funds to pay for the enlarger are lost in the shuffle. Getting the enlarger requires the trans fer of money from one fund to another and even tually to the camera store. The enlarger has been slowly tarnishing for weeks, while the transfer of funds was supposedly in the process of getting fijeed. That's what we like about the administration the speedy way they get new equipment to the stu dents. LESLIE GLOTFELTY. I would like to answer those few who believe a veteran club will not help rehabilitate veterans and prevent them from becoming part of the stu dent body. The club will meet only twice a month. Very little of any veteran's time will be concentrated on it. It will merely be another activity on the campus. No one has said that a music club keeps the campus musicians as a class apart from the rest of the student body. Why not a veteran's club? Why do the veterans want one? '.. To keep up on the G. I. Bill of Rights. 2. To learn where to go to receive help, coun cil, and how to prevent the run-around when funds do not come on schedule. 3. To plan a monthly social get-together. 4. To discuss surplus property, elections, or any other topic of direct interest to veterans as a group. 5. To help veterans make study plans, catch up with back lessons. 6. To comment to the university on what vet erans want as to monuments to heroes of this war. JACK HALLIBURTON.
