Latent Water Reservoirs
Listed In Survey Report
Nebraska's huge underground
reservoir of water is rapidly be
coming one of the state's most
vital assets, Dr. G. E. Condra, Uni
versity Conservation and Survey
director, said Thursday night, ad
dressing the Nebraska Well Drill
ers association in the Lincoln
hotel.
Dr. Condra added that the four
prominent current trends in tap
ping the underground supply
were: greater use of well water
for pump irrigation from ground
water wells, improvement existing
municipal supplies, abandonment
of unsanitary wells, and the lo
cation of more sanitary and port
able water supplies on the farms
here.
Nebraska now has more than
200,000 ordinary water wells, 6,500
irrigation wells, 672 municipal
water supplies, and over 300,000
acres of farm land under pump
irrigation from groundwater wells,
according to Dr. Condra.
The speaker urged the drillers
to become familiar with the ge
ology and water bearing forma
tions in their service areas and
constantly strive to improve their
drilling skill.
The Platte river valley under
ground water surveying and test
ing will be intensified in order to
incorporate this resource into the
Missouri basin development pro
gram, according to M. A. Waite of
the U. S. Geological Survey in Ne
braska. '

are the thirteen nominees repre
senting the campus sororities.
This year's ball is the first Inter
fraternity ball since 1942. Al Don
ahue's "Lowdown music with a
top hat " featured the event that
year in the Union ballroom. Tables
were arranged in the balcony and
photographers from the Chicago

braska Well Drillers association
convention here, said, "What
we're seeking is specific informa
tion for the whole valley "Which
will insure an orderly develop
ment of groundwater use for ir
rigation and municipal supply,
and to avoid the pitfall of s over
development."
Over 100 drillers and 70 repre
sentatives of equipment manufac
turers and jobbers are attending
the snort course, which is spon
sored by the university Conserva
tion and Survey division, and ends
rnday noon.
Platte Valley Promising.
Waite termed the Platte valley
the most promising area of
ground-water supply in Nebraska.
He added that the University's
Geological Survey study, con
ducted since 1931, and supple
mented now by Reclamation bu
reau funds, is seeking to deter
mine the groundwater capacity of
the valley from border to border.
The study is also to ascertain the
annual replenishment of this
underground reservoir and to find
the normal yield and characteris
tics of the valley's soil.
Urging the drillers to utilize
existing information in insuring
sanitary well water supplies, T.
A. Filipe of the state health de
partment also discussed common
causes of well contamination and
effective ways to combat it. A
film on how the U. S. army han
dled -ts water supply and purifi
cation problems was shown by
M. E. Kirby of Omaha.

Twenty'fifth Centuryite
Views Election Askance
It was just the other day that
we were nibbling away at an
atomburger in the Stratosphere
Cafe and Grill, when a rectangle,
white, of paper, tears readily, sol
uble in HCL and insoluble in
water, with black marks scattered
about its dorsal and ventral sur
faces swam into our ken.
The black marks were trans
muted into letters, the letters fo
calized into words. The words
evoked symbol . patterns and
thought associations. The words
said "Daily Nebraskan." (Abso
lutely no connection with the

The Daily Nebraskan seemed
to be recording ans athletic con

a toss of 213A feet with the regu

The bewitching words pulled
us further into the story: "AWS,

Massie, Cone
Head Engineers
'Week in April
Phillip Massie and Irwin Cone
were elected chairman and vice
chairman, respectively, of Engi
neers' Week by engineering stu
dents who voted today, according
to Bob Coonley, member of the
Engineering Executive board.
Massie is an electrical engineer
ing student and Cone is in the
mechanical engineering school.
Activities of the annual Engineers'
Week, which will be held late in
April, include a prom, athletic
field day, and convocation.
Sophomore, junior and senior
engineers in all branches of the
department were eligible to vote
at the polls in the mechanical arts
building today. The voting was
extremely light, however, accord

We dipped into our Uranium
sundae with Nuclear sauce,
temptingly topped by a Hydrogen
proton, 20c, and read on.
Menageries, geographical for
mations, religious concepts were
there. We viewed a Hill and a
Knoll, trempled at a Lyon and a
Wulf, paused humbly before a
Pope, his Engle, and a holy Tem
ple. There even emerged what at
first appeared to be a Neander
thal type, genus Doralee.
Corruption and political ugli
ness were bared to the sight of
all. BABW was Rife with inter
nal dissension, Coed Counselors
was a lot of Holcomb, while a
brazen Crook dared bid for AWS
office.
General MacArthur and Sen
ator Gillette forsook high office to
aspire to campus acclaim. We
even espied a masochistic girl
with a whip, flogging freshmen,
one Lasher; a Koros girl (third
from the left end.); a wind-whipped
Flagg, and Curley Harris. A
particularly winsome girl pro
claimed herself hubba Hubka!
while a journalist whiled away
time and orange pekoe and pekoe
in a shady Teagarden.
We rested the chronicle on a
duraluminum counter, handed our
electrochemical coins to a radm
controlled cashier, and fled.
