few of that group are no longer
eligible. Sorry girls. " The sur
prise of the evening came when
Mary Claire Clark was introduced
as the ideal Christmas Carol of
the bachelors.
First Forum.
"Fifty-two and Forty or Fight,"
"Higher Wages Mean Higher
Prices," and other slogans could
be heard as students assembled to
hear and participate in the first
all University Forum of the year
"Are Labor's Wage Demands
Necessary?" was the subject for
discussion. Over 500 students
took part in the 50th annual pre
sentation of the Oratorio, "The
Messiah.
Caroling in the Union, bells
tinkling, mistletoe, Christmas trees
and other greenery, bright lights,
softly falling snowflakes all were
in evidence as the Christmas spirit
invaded this campus. Students
found Christmas shopping much
more interesting then attending
classes as they looked forward to
a much needed vacation.
Even with the return of students
from vacation, the campus didn't
liven up for a few weeks because
everyone was eager beavering in
the library or elsewhere cramming
like mad for final exams. Students
were trying desperately to get
those term papers in not more
than a week late, while others
opened their books for the first
time all semester and discovered
that there was a great deal they
didn't know! Despite all rumors to
the contrary, it was announced
that the naval program would con
tinue until June.
YW, YM Heads
Shirley Ann Hinds and Carol
Briedenbaugh were elected presi
dents of the city and ag campus
YWCA. Bill Miller and Francis
Wagner were named heads of the
two ag YM groups. Marilyn Hart
sook took over the duties of Home
Ec club president.
Still another wheel Betty Lou
Huston was named by the publi
cations board to edit the second
semester Nebraskan. With the
election of the new staff came the
announcement that the Nebraskan,

after two years of part time sched
ules, would resume daily publica
tion.
Greatest mid-year enrollment in
the history of the university was
announced as the second semester
commenced. As most of the in
creased enrollment consisted of
men, girls took a sudden interest
in their classes. "Cavallerian Rus
ticana," first student opera to be
presented on the campus since
1543, made its initial public ap
pearance on Feb. 6. Marthella
Holcomb, in the meantime, began
digging in the Ash Can.
Beauties
Identities of the six beauty
queens were finally revealed at an
afternoon tea dance when Marcile
Schmid, Barbara Blackburn, Betty
Jean Latta, Jean Bogan, Colleen
Kahoa and Betty Gompert stepped
through a large red heart and
were escorted across the stage by
the eligible bachelors.
More and more wheels! Does the
list ever end? Lorene Novotny
was elected president of Student
Foundation in February and took
office immediately. The Tassels
selected Joy Hill to head their
group next year and the BABW
students chose Helen Wulf as their
"Hello Girl."
Nobility came to the university
when the Earl of Halifax ad
dressed the student body on "The
Responsibilities of Youth Tomor
row." Causing quite a commotion
here was the battle between the
Veterans' Organization and the
Student Council. After much de
bating back and forth, and up and
down and around, the council ap
proved the Vets constitution and
they became an active organiza
tion.
Chancellor Resigns
Perhaps the biggest news story
of the year when Chancellor C
S. Boucher announced his retire
ment from the university. A suc
cessor has not been named as yet
At the annual AWS Coed Follies,
Joanne Ackerman was presented
as the 1946 Typical Nebraska
Coed. Winners for the best skit
and curtain act were Delta Gamma
and Towne Club.
Proving that the campus is once
again getting back to normal, The
Interfratcrnity Ball and the Junior-Senior
Prom were both held
this year for the first time since
1942. Naturally, both events had
to have a queen to rule then. For
the Interfrat the queen was Jean
Guenzel and Mary Cox ruled over
the Prom. Queens, queens, and
more queens. Even the Turtle
Trudges had a queen! Famed
trumpet and trombone stylist
Sonny Dunham played for the
prom, by the way.
Also stirring on the campus was
the keen competition among three
political parties in the spring elec
tions. As they campaigned for
members, no one seemed to know
what the political disagreements
and arguments were all about.
Confusion reigned! Finally, after
a week's postponement and with
the largest number of votes cast
since the spring election in 1940,
1,740 university students went to
the polls to elect 24 union Inde
pendent, 13 Student and one Uni
versity Party candidates to posi
tions for next year.
Ivy Day
Climaxing the year's activities,
especially for women, were the
Ivy Day ceremonies. Les Glot
felty held court as 1946 May
Queen while 15 outstanding junior
women were masked for next
year's Mortar Boards. Kappa Al
pha Theta and Beta Theta Pi won
the cups for first places in the
interfraternity, sorority sing.
The last important activity ap
pointments were made when Pub
lications Board met and named
Phyllis Teagarden, Merrill Shutt
and George Shestak as editors of
the Nebraskan, Cornhusker and
Awgwan respectively.
Now, with the year almost fin
ished, students are gleefully an
ticipating a whole summer free
from studies. If they live through
finals next week, that is!

According: to Ruth Korb,
editor, the Awgwan will be
out the first of next week.
Awgwans may be picked up in
the Student Union by people
