Since Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation it has generally been considered that all human beings are created equal. From this statement it would seem apparent that the writers and waitresses in the Crib are included. However, from recent occurrences, the era of slavery is still with us. Taking into consideration the fact that the Crib is crowded at any and all times, a bit of diplomacy and a great deal of courtesy would expedite service in now small way. Come, come kiddies! We're all supposedly grown up by the time we enter the university. The majority of the waiters are new this year and should, therefore, be allowed some time in which to become acquainted with the establishment. And in this day and age flood isn't the easiest thing to obtain or to prepare. Please, let s demonstrate that we know at least the basic courtesies of society. Who knows, the person who waits on you in the Crib tonight may turn up in the seat next to yours in class tomorrow, and he may know all the answers! The Crib is yours to enjoy because you are a student in this university. The waiters are students, too, and they like wise are entitled to its privileges. News Print BY JACK HILL Top news on this Thursday morning, is if course, the pend ing execution of the eleven Na7.i bigwigs. A collection of reactions by various uninterested sources will make good reading some day but for now, we think the crack made by an unnamed army offi cer in charge of the hangings will do. . . "They're just another bunch of necks to us." Add to the uninterested reac tions, a plea by the defense coun cil for shooting instead of hang ing and you get an idea of what we mean. It's been said that the acquittal of Schacht, Von Papen and Fritsche created a wave of shock over the courtroom when it was announced. But these lads aren't going scot-free as it would appear. They are all facing de nazification processes and that usually entails "several years of hard labor. Feel the sorriest for Fritsche, he goes back to the Rus sian zone of occupation. Cordell Hull, fighting for his life n his 75th birthday in Bethesda naval hospital, delivered a stirring message urging: the world to pre vent role "by stark terror and brute force." Hull suffered cerebral hemorrhage Saturday and Is not expected to live. Director Edgar L. Warren, of the government conciliation board, voiced hopes early today that the maritime strike issue will be set tled before the week is out. Maritime demands will probably be met with the government aid ing union officials in seeing to the enforcement of all new conces ions. The idle worker total in Pitts burgh mounted as electricity shortage caused work stoppages thruout Pennsylvania. Two thou sand AFL hotel workers walked ut In the Pennsylvania metro polis as .the union campaign mounted and predictions are being made that management will be forced to conciliate or face a state wide disruption of all activities. Odds and ends collected show the U. S. continuing to flash its might In the Mediterranean as plans were made for a visit to Turkish ports. The USS Randolph will replace the super-carrier Roosevelt in the fleet but it has been definitely stated that this See NEWSPRINT, page 5. Now that the male element on the campus is bowing to the idea that femininity will not sit by the phone holding its breath until re ceiving a call, week end plans are beginning to take shape earlier. Friday night will include such things as treks to the Scottsbluff Lincoln High game by individuals who claim the schools as their alma maters, an ATO outing (no doubt the Betas are having one too) and the origination of cam pus night at Kings ballroom. No stags allowed which will cramp some of the boys' style. Ray Spear found red-headed Betty Fesler's modeling talents very intriguing, for after taking her picture for that obscure maga zine called the Awgwan. he rushed home and contacted her for dates Friday and Saturday nights. Al Casey and Gene Weiler must have an agreement to split things up evenly. At least Al is taking over Pat Warren for the week end while Gene has to be satisfied with memories of that trip to Minneapolis. Luf! Now that Ramey Beachley can no longer claim Jane Fry as a pinmate, it might be good advice to some of these independent men who refuse to call 48 liours in ad vance to give her a ring by phone, that is. Remarks about the pinning of Alice cnnstianson and John Call. He isn't so dumb. Now that Alice's old flame, Bob Burhans, is on me campus, it was smart to tie that knot with something sub stantial. finding the U of N a rood meeting place are Sarah Murray and Jim Pettis, who, altho they may noi confess, both returned to the campus to continue that warm romance of the past spring. Explanation for their constant companionship. oetting tlown to brass tacks were Jacque Holm and Scad Voss the past week end. Thev went in Jacque's home in Winner, S.- D., to discuss their marriage sched uled lor December 27. Big Time Looking forward to a big week end is Bud Marsh, who is ex pecting his pinmate, Ellie Assmus- sen, down to Lincoln for Saturday and Sunday. Adding another Beta to her belt is Les Glotfelty, who seems to be QMU's QDbic BY BILL PALMER. I'm reminded of an old Swedish farmer in Minnesota who used to teach a Sunday school class. "Now children pay attention to the lesson. Today, by yiminy, I'm going to tell you about the yiant Goliath and little David, the shepherd boy. "Little David was yust some lit tie shepherd boy about knee-high from a grasshopper who tended sheep out on the countryside. But David, the little shaver, was not with his sheep. He was in some far-off place and I suppose his folks didn't even know where he was at. He was off with some fellers who wis fighting, you know. He was with this army that was trying to beat up on some people called Philistine's or some such. "Well now, these here Philis tines had some great big yiant on their side who was about seven foot thirteen or such a matter. All these people on David's side were skairt some silly by this towering yiant. You would have probably been some skairt yourself. I ex pect I might have been a little nervous myself if I had been there. Yust Stood There! "This Goliath he yust stood up on a hill and dared these people to come and fight him. They yust shiwered and shook and did most ly nothing. But not our little Dawid. He had his little sling-some-shot, you know like you kids break vindows vith, and he yust picked up some pebbles, you know like the pebbles on the beach, and valked right out front of everybody. "There was Goliath standing up on the hill yust roaring like any thing and dressed with armour and a shied and holding a big spear like you might stick some body with and hurt them. Goliath sees little Dawid standing all alone and it yust makes the yiant whopping mad. He comes roaring down the hill, you know right at our little Dawid. But little Dawid takes a pebble, takes an aim, and swings the sling-some-shot around his head, kwewie, kwewie, ka boom. "You think our little Dawid missed the giant. You think our little Dawid missed Goliath. You bet he did. The Yiant was yust coming running down the hill pell-a-mell, pell-a-mell. You think our little David missed Goliath this time. He did. And the yiant yust coming down the hill peel-a, you know like be fore. You think little Dawid was skairt this time. You think the lit tle shepard was skairt. You gawd da , skuse me children I yust get excited. Anyway he was some skairt. "But he yust go kewie, kewies. kaboom again. You think our little Dawid missed Goliath this time. No he hit that big yiant right smack so in the forehead and Goliath yust folded up like a push-from-me come-to-me music box. And the yiant was dead be cause there was a doctor there who felt Goliath's pulse and said that he didn't have any. "Now children the moral of this story is, well I guess it yust goes to prove that if you throw enough rocks, by yiminy, somebody's liable to get hurt. AWS gave us the excuse, uh, rea son, that is, contact Mimi Mimi Ann Johnson, attractive AWS president, who gave us the facts. To concentrate on her dicta tion was difficult enough but, sur prisingly enough, Mimi made AWS sound interesting. "This year the girls shouldn't hav the dreaded fear they once did, if they're called before the board," she began. "We have eliminated the drawn curtains, the black robes, the candles, the stern faces, and all the other frightening things that formerly prevailed over the court sessions. What used to be a terrifying or- deiU for a coed we now hope will be more of a personal counseling totalk things over with the girl, and straighten out any misunder standing about house rules, or to find out the reasons behind vio lations. Really, I believe we'll obtain more satisfactory results this way than we have in the past. When a girl violates a dule she needs to be advised as well as reprimanded." "After all, AWS does some other things too. Our activities mart introduces to all new women students the different activities on campus, and this year some thing new has been added men! The men's activities, we hope, will also have booths at the mart for the purpose of introducing the different activities to the new men." Coed Follies come next. The follies have grown to such pro portions that Temple is too small to house the audience, so as we did last year we plan to hold the show in a larger auditorium, per haps a downtown theater. THIS year the place will be guarded so there won't be any "impersonat ors" among the coeds. "The Ivy Day sorority sing and Ivy Day tea dance are under AWS supervision, and that event This year all freshman girls are taking exams on house rules and regulations, so we're hoping this will help cut down on the num ber of violations. "Then there is the activities point system ..." and here w stopped Mimi, explaining to her that we'd gone through that once before, and 'nuff is e-nuff. We hurriedly jotted down other facts there are 14 boai-d members selected on a basis of class rep resentation, with one unaffiliated girl and three affiliated girls, chosen in the spring elections. Special permits, the cause of much feminine contemplation thinking up reasons for may be granted by any senior board member. r r 1 Br I Mary Lou Blumel t 11 V 1 Courtesy Lincoln Journal.

Short-short letters run in another column on same page under the head, Box Lower Shelf." Hmmm! XXX Scarcity of text books is restricted to the Nebraska campus. Says a columnist in the Western Graphic, of Colorado Woman's College, Denver, "After standing in line so many hours to buy text books, one wonders why we go to so much trouble for something that will undoubtedly only bring us more misery! A shortage of senior English literature books has almost started the need for a black market." A new course has just been added to the curriculum of Uni versity of California at Los An geles. It is called "Youth and Marriage." Record enrollment is reported. Formal opening of the Carnegie Music Room was held this week in Memorial Jnion on the Iowa State campus at An.es. The rom, containing over a,000 recordings, 50 scores of symphonies, and 100 books on music theory ;.nd appre ciation, is a gift to the school by the Carnegie Foundation. The more than 9,000 students enrolled at the university is a new all-time record. Personally Speaking With an AWS news story as signed to us a week or so ago, we were compelled to wade through the maze of AWS rulings on coed participation in extra-curricular activities, and though we were left with a blurred understand ing of points A, B, and C scales, and combinations of activities, we were were sure about one thing: The UN coed is a beaver, and must be limited to the number of activities she can carry, lest she find herself running every or ganization on campus. However, restricting coeds in their activities apart from aca demic pursuits is only one of the functions of AWS. Since we steer clear of any other AWS you-write-this-up, Bub," infor mative notes that might have sailed into the Nebraskan office via the hand of a board member, ful day winds up our other-than-usual activity for the year." "There is one thing I should like to have stressed. AWS should not be considered just an iron hand of discipline hanging over the head of each girl, but as a means through which every coed may express herself, and let AWS know what she thinks SHOULD be instead of what it s. I meet with the Dean of Women twice a week, and we try to iron out till differences that arise.
