Engineer Will Describe
Missouri River Program
Speaking on "Development of
the Missouri River," Lt. Col. Del
bert S. Freeman will address
members of Sigma Xi, honorary
scientific society, tonite at 7:30 in
Morrill hall auditorium.
Col. Freeman was closely asso
ciated with preparation of the
Missouri river development pro
gram known as the "Pick Plan"
and is now district engineer at
Omaha. The meeting is open to
the public.
The strangest thing This Pure
City has even seen, no doubt, was
this kid up and snapping about in
the eerie pre-dawn fog the other
day. Someone slapped a new 8
o'clock on my schedule when I
wasn't looking, and this is the
horrible result.
I seem to remember witnessing
the sunrise before, but maybe it
was only in the movies. Anyway
I'm sure I've never seen it since
I've been big enough not to. And
the whole experience was some
thing that shouldn't happen to the
Great Unwashed, even. Wait, I'll
tell ya all about it, so you can ap
preciate your rating as a sack
artist.
Bis: Ben kicked me in the ear
about five minutes, it seemed,
after I'd gone to sleep. I opened
three sets of eyelids (thus out
frogging Life's frog) before I
knew why I couldn't see anything
it was still dark outside. A few
minutes later the boys found me
leaning against a tree out in front,
eyes closed, shivering, and mutter
ing, "Here, sergeant, I'm here,
Say, when is reveille over?"
They steered me around the
corner to the bus-stop. A bright-
and-early conversation followed:
Me: "Where's the bus?"
They: Silence.
Me: "Why isn't the sun up yet?"
They: Stony silence.
Me: "Say, which way does the
sun come up from, anyway?
They: "That way. South. The
sun always goes south in the
winter."
Me: "Oh, yeah, I forgot."
The cold, damp, strictly un
friendly fog was still rolling about,
and I was already sick of being
"up and snapping about." Some
where above me a vulture, I
guessed it to be, was screaming
its head off as it flew around in
a circle. Cold shivers ran up my
back, because I figured at the
time that it was either a vampire
bat or Count Dracula himself
buzzing town for a last trip be
fore dawn. Still the bus didn't
come.
Two men in overalls stawmped
by. As they passed I opened my
eyes and looked at them. One was
carrying a pick, the other had a
shovel. "Grave robbers," I thought
sentimentally, in memory of my
father, and the iron curtain of
heavy eyelids clanged down again.
Still no bus.
A little girl appeared out of
the blog, which is black fog,
carrying her little lunch pain and
a "First Reader" to the grade
school up the hill. She didnt
scream at all, but she did gurgle
softly for quite a while. Gener-
outly I shared her lunch with my
friends. But still no bus.
Now a strange, wierd sensation
came over me. "Hear that?" I
queried, "Do you hear it?" Asleep
now on the curb, they made no
answer. I continued, "That's the
sack. It's the sack, I tell ya. and
it's calling me. I ain't gonna de
sert my sack, not after all, it's
done for me!" Joyously I leaped
and ran back up the hill, through
the blog. I wonder if they took the
roll in that 8 o'clock class?
And that is why, kiddies, no
one has ever seen me before noon.
You can come over and wait for
me if you want to, but don't
make any noise. (I always fire at
the first sound I hear before
noon.) Just sit quietly and glance
through my "First Reader" until
I wake up.
UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION
Percy Chen, Chinese Correspondent
"Behind the Chinese Screen"
3:00 P. M.; Thursday, Feb. 20
Union Ballroom
Duncan F. Fraser, vice-president of the University Veterans' Or
ganization, appeared before a legislative budget sub-committee to
urge the passage of LB 209 providing a 10-year "state institutional
building fund" and not, as soinadvertently stated in the Sunday ed
ition of the DAILY NEBRASKAN, "an immediate hike in the Uni
versity appropriation."
As stated by one of the Lincoln papers, "Fraser gave the com
mittee a graphic description of the overcrowded conditions and lack
of facilities in many of the classroom buildings."
Certainly the Univet policy in lobbying at the state house is NOT
a "more please" policy as your Sunday headline suggests. The lobby
furnishes factual information to the Senators and is a barometer of
legislative support for a university appropriation tht would make the
University among the best of the land grant colleges.
The action I will admit is historically unprecedented but who is
better qualified to inform legislators as to campus conditions than
those of us who experience those conditions? Feasibly the results t
Fraser's work could be represntd as to th height of the mercury in a
43 degree thermometer the height of the mercury depended some
what on student support.
I wonder how many students have informed their respective Sen
ators as to conditions at the University that you know of personally
that would be remedied by the building program provided for in the
Mueller bill? How many have worked to gain support for the Uni
versity in their home town?
Why has not this paper presented factual information on budget
recommendations of Governor Griswold-Peterson, the requested bud
get of the University, the plans for future buildings, and. other simi-
-lar matters vitally affecting the student?
HARVEY PODOLL,
Univet Public Relations Chairman.
Editors Note: The Daily Nebraskan has made plans to run a ser
ies of articles explaining each item in the budget. The series will be
gin as soon as possible. It will continue to be the policy of the Daily
to support the university and to create opinion in favor of the bud
get among the voters of the state through the students. The Veterans
Organization is working for the passage of he budget in one way;
the Daily will support their stand as long as we f.eel it is in accord
with the best interests of the university.
