CUvai Jtat
By Eddie McCullough
Four years ago, when first we
came to college, all was efferves
cent glory. The glittering tinsel
and romance of campus country
club life was real then. The coeds
were terribly chic, desirable, and
sophisticated. Amour was the call
of the moment, and charm ran
knee-deep in the streets.
Then came the war and with
it, necessarily, disillusion. We got
down to earth and found out what
we really wanted wasn't glamour
and tinfoil, but the basic things.
Happiness. And happiness in
cluded security, love, success, and
a feeling that it was all worth it,
after all. We were in a new world
full of rough characters, and it
didn't take long to figure what
things really mattered in life. Yes,
we grew up in a hurry, but we
grew up. Finally we returned to
college, and found things un
changed. Perhaps too much so.
Why Glamour?
An average date in York.
Omaha, or Broken Bow is a fairly
nice, sensible girl who has a
speaking acquaintance with sev
eral topics of conversation, knows
when to have fun, how to be seri
ous, and sometimes helps her
mother with the dishes. But bring
her to the campus, and for some
inscrutable reason she decides to
become the archetype of all
glamour. Her reconstructed Nu
enameled facade reflects affected
boredom in a nasty-nice way, her
conversation tempts us to inter
ject "Stop it! Your mouth is talk
ing again!"
Thurber declares that men
spend their lives subconsciously
( fighting a war with women all
women. And most women will ad
mit, to themselves at least, that
they desire to eventually marry.
Some even attend college with the
sole thought of finding a mate.
Does it not appear logical that
men might, whether they realize

ask themselves during each date,
"Would she make the kind of
wife I want?"
Stateside Rough.
Overseas we were frequently
disgruntled, and agreed it would
be a minor Utopia to return to
women who "spoke American,"
laughed at our jokes without re
quiring explanations, and were, in
general, highly Americanized. But
Operation Stateside has revealed
that other pastures have their
green tinges, too. Foreign women
knew the value of food, clothing,
and shelter and that anything
beyond these essentials is lux
ury. Our newly glamourized girl
is now too shallow to consider
such facts. Does she think it ironi
cal that we pour drinking water
on the grass, while thousands die
annually from want of it? No, her
thought is that this year the river
is up, and we can go canoeing
again. She is just a silly little
girl.
One of the biggest booms in the
U. S. today is in the services of
the marriage counselor, the psy
chiatrist, and the Reno lawyer.
American marriage are going on
the rocks faster every year, yet
the unmarried blithely ignore
pondering The Cause Of It All.
They say "She's a queen! She's
beautiful!" So what? Will 25 years
of looking at a face make him
completely happy? Not necessar
ily. It is time the importance of
physical attraction were sub
ordinated to the more necessary
and permanent constituents of
genuine happiness.
She may be making like a
smooth date-bait, but there's
trouble ahead if she doesn't grow
up and her advantage in the
men-women ratio may be nil.
Here's a putty knife, honey.
Snipe off the glamour and act
like you do back home. We know
ya!
Plans Organized
For Easterners'
Club at University
Plans for a new campus organ
ization, the Easterners' Club, have
been formulated by Arthur A.
Cohen, a junior at the University.
The club's purpose will be, be
sides concerning itself with prob
lems of transportation and scho
lastic difficulties of the various
students, orienting the eastern
student at the university.
The first official meeting of the
organization will be a dinner on
Friday evening, the 10th of Oc
tober, in the Union.
Any member of the student
body or faculty who is from any
of the New England states or
New York, New Jersey, or Penn
sylvania, is eligible for member
shit, according to Cohen.
Cohen asks all Eastern stu
dents interested in the club to
contact him any week-day eve

Student Health
Makes 3,235
Examinations
Complete medical examinations
for 3,235 University men and
women formed the major part of
siudont health service work dur
ing the month of September, ac
cording to Louis E. Means, di
rector of student physical wel
fare. In addition, 3,512 students were
given laboratory services and
3,045 swimming permits were
issued. During the month, 366
students called at the health serv
ice for daily clinical treatment
and care.
The chest X-ray program will
continue for another month and
it is expected that almost 9.500
X-rays will have been taken.
Under this program, about 450
students have been X-rayed
daily.
To meet demands of the en
larged enrollment, Dr. Samuel
Fuenning has joined the health
service staff in addition to Drs.
Miller, Warner and Metheny.
Opera Star,
Pat Muiisel,
To Sinr Here
Coloratura Patrice Munsel,
"the baby of the Met," will open
the Lincoln Newspapers artist se
ries Friday, October 11, when she
presents a recital at the coliseum.
Miss Munsel won nationwide
recognition when she was signed
by the Metropolitan opera in 1943
at the age of 17. Her first role
.
'
was that of Philine in "Mignon,"
and the first night's ovation last
ed some eight minutes. She found
instant popularity and was signed
to star in th.e weekly radio show,
"The Family Hour."
Now a veteran of three opera
seasons and three concert tours,
the twenty year Id Miss Munsel,
whose home is in Spokane, Wash.,
is accompanied on all her tours
by her mother.
Tickets to the recital are on
sale at Walt's music store.
Last Chance
Students who wish to have
their pictures in the 1947 Corn
busker and who are not affili
ated with any orranization that
will have a section in the year
book, must make ah appoint
ment for their photographic
sittings at once.
Appointments can be nude
at the Cornhusker office in the
basement of the Union. The
pictures will be taken at the
Reinhardt-Marsdrn Studio on
the fifth floor of Gold's 'during
the mornings of the next two
weeks.

U)sdL, (BJwik&A., So What!
BY DEDE MEYER.
Student gripes and groans take
on another serious aspect, what
with the re-appearance once again
of automobiles thruout he na
tion. :
So you got a car, brother. Well,
so what? Sure, you can drive out
to the Grove next Saturday night,
and save taxi fare. You can tear
down town for a quick lunch after
a hard evening's studying. Winter
and its blizzards hold no terror
for you, warm and secure in your
mechanical buggy. But wait till
you bring that '46 model on cam
pus. Are you gonna be surprised!
A lengthy perusal of archaic
civil ordinances might luckilly re
veal the hidden translation of the
multi-colored curbs here on the
campus. As it is, the fantasy of
reds, blues, yellow, and blacks
which back our university gutters
tend only to confuse the student
driver who speeds in an attempt
to make his 8 o'clock by ten after.
Perturbing Taint.
The confusing network of side
walks here strongly resembles a
Chinese puzzle. Dabbles of paint
ornament all junctions of walks
and streets; corners are tinged
with pigments; spasmodic bits of
curbing within each block are em
blazoned with various hues. And,
strangely enough, the joining of a
path, worn by the weary tread of
knowledge-seekers, and a street is
marked by this customary, unin
telligable no parking insignia.

Discussion, Debate
Participants Now
Total Fifty-seven
Forty-two men and fifteen
women have signed to participate
in the intercollegiate discussions
and debate squad this year, ac
cording to Donald Olson, director
of university debate.
Although the number totals 20
more than last year, Mr. Olson
expresses concern that only two
freshmen women reported fo"r the
first meeting. If a strong women's
debate squad is to be maintained,
more freshmen women must par
ticipate. Any freshman woman
who is interested may see Mr.
Olson at the Temple before next
Tuesday. Practice periods can be
arranged, so they will not con
flict with class schedules, Olson
said.

the members support one party
or one particular candidate.
The leader of any organization
or an organized house which is
believed to have officially or un
officially block voted in an elec
tion will be called before an as
sembly of Mortar Boards to ex
plain such accusations against her
and her organization. More than
one delegate may be questioned.
On the basis of such testimony,
the junior women of he organiza
tion or the organized house may
or may not be penalized.
There are three prerequisites
for Mortar Board: service, schol
arship and leadership. Last year
the scholastic minimum was set
at 81, thus making any junior
with a weighted average of 81
eligible for thic senior women's
honorary.
Leadership in campus activities
and service to the university are
the two prerequisites which have
been further interpreted by this
re rent ruling of the Mortar
Boards.
"Compliance with this regula
tion is purely voluntary," con
tinued Miss Knoll, "but we do
want to assure all women's or
ganizations that this ruling will
be enforced."

faculty jhas decided to be aristo
cratic and preserve reserve park
ing spaces for themselves. Now
the fair landscape of Nebraska
university is dotted with small,
parking-for-faculty onlyi 'signs.
Thru this practice, all available
and choice space is taken.
Motorcycle Blues.
Thus students are left to shift
for the few obtainable parking
places left. It is granted that a
few of these do exist. But what a
disappointment to suddenly, after
circling the campus several times,
spot a distant and apparently va
cant place, only to approach it
and find a tiny motorcycle or
scoot, lodged at an all-filling an
gle in the space. A special parking
place for such vehicles would cer
tainly alleviate this particular dif
ficulty. And only a small place
would be necessary. There is no
reason why one motorcycle should
take up the room of three of its
kind, thus eliminating another
parking place for an automobile.
Tho seemingly a trivial diffi
culty, no parking space can be
quite consequential, when at-
tendence to a class is involved.
Those with no automobiles or
prospects of a ride might suggest
walking as a solution. However,
interviews with the other side re
veal entirely different opinions.
And therefore, the matter of
principles entitles students . to
parking places, as it entitles them
to textbooks, which, lnlidenily,
they still have hopes of obtaining.
Belgian Gl
Wants Pals
To Write
American charm has von
through again. This time it has so
impressed a young Belgian s !-
dicr, who came in contact with
our troops while fighting for the
Free Belgians, that he wishes to
begin correspondence with some
students of the university.
His letter, received by G. W.'
Rosenlof, registrar, reads:
"Dear Sir. In 1943 I get es
caped from the occupied Eclgium
thru an underground way thru
France-Spain-Portugal - England.
There I joined up the Free Eel
gian and fought in Normandy,
Belgium, Holland and Germany
I was discharged a few months
ago. Now, I'm back to be a stu
dent. During my military life I
was often in contact with the
Yankees. I've always highly ap
preciated them. I would be very
glad to have a pen-friend (boy or
girl) from the students of your
University for exchange some
ideas interesting our own conti
nents and for polish my very poor
english. Maybe some student
learning the French Literature
would be glad to have this oc
casional training.
Hopeful about the result cf my
request, I am sir,
Sincerely yours,
Charles M. Spj iet.
As Mr. Rosenlof pointed out in
his letter to the Daily Nebraskan,
the opportunity for good will and
mutual benefit afforded by Spriet's
letter should bring many corre
spondents to the Nebraskan vl f ice
for the young Belgian's address. .
United Students
Hold First Meeting
The United Student Association
council held their first meeting
of the year on Thursday night.
David Pickerill, publicity chair
man, announced that the count il
would hold a get-together dance
for all unaffiliated students in the
Union ballroom on October 19.
Refreshments will be served.
