Pardon, reprieve, leave of ab
sence, acquittal, 96-hour pass, and
parole all mean that the Turkey
Day "break" is H-houred for
members of Universitas Nebras
kensis at noon today.
Typical comments heard as stu
dents prepare for a four day Tur
key vacation include some of the
following:
Tour straight days when I
don't get out of the sack until
ten o'clock," yawned Sodley Sock,
ex-GI from Pheasant Creek. "I
can hardly wait 'til Thursday."
"We plan to have a big time at
the barn-house, over Thanksgiv
ing," said Mortan Stanley Zolter,
president of the Delta Beta Handa
Poker fraternity. "Three frat
chapters from Kansas will be here
for the vacation. My hangover
can barely wait to get started."
Wheee!
"How simply wonderful to
know that for two days I won't
have to attend those horrid ten
o'clock classes. How I dislike ten
o'clocks!" exclaimed Sherryn
Elizabeth Klotch, Gamma Gimme
Plenty.
"Why do you hate ten o'clock
classes 60 intensely?", Miss Klotch
was asked.
"Because all my classes are ten
o'clocks. How I wish vacation
had started today!" she replied.
Amid these reports of genuine
gaiety and anticipation of the
holiday, there was one student

Parasites.
This student was Maxwelton
Marski, sophomore parasitology
student and a member of the Ex

Union.
"Celebrate Thanksgiving? Why
I guess so. I'll stay in Lincoln
(it's so far to Slobbovia) and I'll
eat a big dinner (I always do
anyway). Then I'll go to the
library and memorize more para
sitological terms. Interesting
course, parasitology!"

Tuberculosis
Seal Drive
Announced
A drive to raise $4,000 in funds
to combat tuberculosis is sched
uled on the campus from Decem
ber 2 to 21, co-chairman Bill
Wiseman and Pat Heynen an
nounced today.
"This is the first year a drive
has been organized on the cam
pus," Wiseman said, "we would
like to make it an annual affair.
After all, the goal we have set
should be easily reached, as it
is only about 50c per student."
Funds raised in the campus
drive are slated to help purchase
a $25,000 mobile x-ray unit for
Lancaster, county. This year the
University borrowed the x-ray
unit of the Nebraska state health
department, but the proposed
county unitwonld be available
every year for student x-rays.
To stimulate contributions a
plaque will be presented to the
organized house which buys the
largest number of tuberculosis
Christmas seals.
