One Small Request . . .
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.

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.

Director Edgar L. Warren, of

be met with the government aid

enforcement of all new conces

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

Ray Spear found red-headed
Betty Fesler's modeling talents
very intriguing, for after taking
her picture for that obscure maga

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.

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.

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.
