of solo numbers, as well as per
form two orchestral selections.
Soloists with the orchestra are

Minor;" clarinetist Donald Wenz
laff whose solo selection is a re
cent composition by the American
Homer Keller; and baritone Cleve
Genzlinger who will offer a group
oj numbers including "Di Proven
za," the second act from Verdi's
opera "La Traviata."
Mr. Genzlinger, who plans to
continue his study in New York
City when he receives his mas

JIisl (BiiisA. JauUl,
BY BILL PALMER.
Perhaps you've been wonder
ing for months, even years how
the DAILLY NEBRASKAN gets
to press. Or why?
Determined to satisfy this in
satiable curiosity of student read
ers I invaded the office of this
purveyor of yellow journalism
yesterday afternoon.
Amid the smell of typewriter
ribbons, reporters ran in circles,
while editors stood on desks and
screamed. With a pipe in his
mouth, a copy pencil behind his
ear and a telephone balanced be
tween his shoulder and his other
ear, Jack Hill sat with furrowed
brow. "Say," I heard him ask
tersely, "what was the name of
that blonde that 1 saw at the Dia
mond Grill last night?"
Whee!!
In a crowded corner of the
room three reporters, four men
who thought that the door to the
rag office led to the Men's room
and a janitor were making love
to Gene Jensen while her sister
Pat looked on disapprovingly. But
jealousy gets her nowhere. Near
the door Norm Leger was leading
Jean Kerrigan, Ellie Swanson
and Sue Golden In a cheer be
cause the previous day's paper
Dir
health service becomes a separate
department under the new setup
and will be responsible adminis
tratively to the College of Medi
cine in Omaha, and under the su
pervision of an advisory commit
tee of medical college staff mem
bers. "This is our first step in im
proving a student health service
which now is not adequate,"
Chancellor Gustavson said. "We
hope to make additional improve
ments In the near future. Among
other things we are asking the
legislature for funds to build a
health center, a building which is
needed very badly."
New Appointments.
Also announced were the ap
pointments of Dr. R. O. Garling
house and Dr. Frank Stone to the
health service staff. Other doc
tors now on the staff are Dr. Fred
Metheny and Dr. Ruth Warner.
Mrs. Phil Anderson has been
added to the nursing staff.
Chancellor Gustavson praised
Professor Means on his splendid
work "under trying conditions"
and pointed out that the change
will relieve Means of a good deal
of his load, which he has been
carrying for 18 months.
U. N. Grad.
Dr. Fuenning is a graduate of
the University of Nebraska col
lege of medicine and served in
the navy during the war. Since
last July he has been associated
with the Student Health Service
while doing graduate work and
research. He has received his
bachelor's and master's degrees
from the university.
Dr. Fuenning announced that
the health service headquarters
would remain on the second floor
of the Pharmacy building.' The
universiey has put in a bid for an
nrmy officer's barracks at Sioux
City", la. If this application is ap
proved, the barracks will be con
verted into a temporary health
ceuter and will probably be lo
cated n the Mall between Teach
ers c lege and Andrews hall.

Managing Editor Mary . Alice
Cawood was standing on the copy
desk and hitting a reporter over
the head with a paper cutter as
I glanced in her direction. The
sound of the thud of the scribe's
falling body was drowned out,
however, as Chief Adviser and
Consultant Bob Gillan and Walt
Simon (lie puts out a magazine
of dirty jokes) began to sing an
other chorus of the Russian Red
Cavalry march. At the climax
of the song Gillan waved his
hammer-and-sickle banner so
strenuously that he fell off the
filing cabinet.
Sh-h-h-!
Ever so quietly I sneaked into
the inner sanctum of the editor-in-chief
figuring that Phyllis Tea
garden must be deep in the throes
of a constructive editorial on the
birds and bees or faculty park
ing. But within her cubicle Dake
Novotny was counting, "One, two,
three, four, One, two " while
the female Pulitzer did sitting-up
exercises.
Completely bewildered but still
undaunted, I picked one of the
lowly reporters off the floor, put
iodine on his wounds, adminis-
