It's Worth It
Service to all that are needy.
With the world writhing from labor troubles, treaty ad
justments, and atomic perplexities, there is one organization
that quietly and efficiently carries on, mindful only of its
duty to mankind for the Red Cross serves the world.
From the frozen bleakness of the Arctic to the swelter
ing deserts of Africa, the red badge of service stands ready
to help wherever help is needed. The Red Cross worker is
a twentieth century crusader whose goal is not one to be
accomplished, rather to be met many times a day, always
under different circumstances, always to the best of his
ability.
Where floods rage, fires gut and wars destroy, unmind
ful of personal discomfort or safety, the Red Cross worker
moves quietly and surely, bandaging, encouraging, some
times only smiling, but always there.
Maintained by a citizen army of volunteers, you and I
are the very back bone of the Red Cross, for it is thru our
annual donations that the Red Cross is able to carry on its
work. A few moments thought will tell us where our loose
change has gone that we gave with little thought. A starv
ing European child's eyes filled with tears of unutterable
thankfulness for a hot bowl of broth. To him you gave life,
from you he took the price of a show. Is it worth it?
On a Pennsylvania hillside victims of a train crash
sipped hot coffee to warm their cold, shock-filled bodies.
lTou bought that coffee. Was it worth it?
In a chilly Berlin theater-, a young GI saw a movie and
thought of home, perhaps of this campus. You paid his ad
mission. Was it worth it?
Many things possess the quality of being unmeasurable
in dollars and cents, the Red Cross is one of these. Asking
the American public for a donation of 60 billion dollars, the
Red Cross has begun its annual canvass for contributions
to carry on the work that it faces in a torn postwar Conti
nental world and a needy fast-moving United States. Nu
merically, 60 billion seems a Gargantuan figure, but three
fourths of the sum will serve the armed forces, veterans and
their families, as well as maintain a staff of almost three
thousand workers scattered over the globe.
At the moment, chaos is not imminent, but there is al
ways the possibility that we may need the help of the Red
Cross. Will you wait until then, or add to the future by
contributing now?
It's worth it!

Ah me! Whatta life! Called
the PHI DELTS nd all they
could tell me was that they had
a new toaster . . . "It toasts4
four whole slices at once, too!"
. . . wonderful, what they're
inventing these postwar days,
isn't it? And that is absolutely
all the information they had to
give.
Speaking of postwar days
and resulting troubles, the
THETA XI's are feeling the
labor situation, says DON HAN
SON. Seems as though the boys
want to have a sort of "pre
house warming" this weekend,
and they're having a little dif
ficulty getting the main floor
finished. If they can talk the
nail pounders into pounding
the nails a little more speedily,
they'll try out the first floor
for dansize Saturday night . . .
Not much news this week
end, but before I go any farther
into the future, I'd like to take
a Quick Post Mortem on the
ZBT World Premiere party held
March first, among billboarda
and displays which turned the
chapter house into a facsimile
of a theatre lobby . . . clever
theme carried out by DAVE
LEVINE social chairman . . .
spotlighted was the three piece
musical combo which provided
the rhythm for the boys and
their dates.
Forty Danish college students
will invade the campus and
help establish a little Danish
Nebraska friendship Wednes
day night, when they put on a
gymnastic performance at the
coliseum. The physical educa
tion departments are sponsor
ing the show . . . and they're
really good. I know, cause I
saw them in some newsreels.
Just as a reminder, it's com
pulsory for all phys ed stu
dents . . . ahem . . .
The Big Events this weekend
seem to be plural . , . first of
all we have the ALVINO REY
orchestra playing Friday night
at the Union Ballroom . , ,
nice work if you can make it
... the price, that is. Every
one who knows says it's worth
And the AOPI's whom you
may have heard muttering
"Twinkle, twinkle little star"
under their breath, aren't
reverting back to their child
hood days, they're simply
thinking of their Starlight
Ball to be held this week
end at the Cornhusker with
Jean Moyer, once again. Stars,
stars . . . everyone seeing stars
. . . nice idea . . . and brightest
star of all will be social chair
man, JACKIE WIGHTMAN.
The pre-med students ant
forgetting the number of bones
in the head . . . twenty-seven,
isn't it? . , . and are adjourn
ing to the Cornhusker Satur
day for a Dutch lunch under
the auspices of PHI CHI, med

from cadavers 'n things . . .
Can't think of another print

Engineering
Week Dates
Back to 1894
Last Complete
Celebration in '41
Engineer' s Week has a
history dating back to 1894, when
the old Electrical Engineering So
ciety decided to put on a birth
day demonstration. They had a
novel show, consisting of demon
strations of various electrical ap
paratus. The Electrical engineers put on
this show by themselves, until in
1913, after the completion of the
new Mechanical Engineering
building, the other engineering de
partments joined the electrical de
partment and put on the first
Annual Engineers' Open House.
Contributions.
Eight engineering departments
contributed to the exhibition, and
it became so popular that sev
eral days were devoted to it. En
gineers' Week, as this show came
to be called, was added to until
it consisted of an Engineers' Con
vocation, Field Day, Banquet and
Ball, beside the original Open
House.
The last complete Engineers'
Week was held in 1941, and dur
ing the war everything was dis
pensed with except the Banquet.

Chess Club Plans
Meeting Tuesday
The university Chess club will
hold its regular meeting Tuesday
at 7:00 p. m. in lounge C of the
Union.
The round-robin tournament
will be made up by then, and play
offs will begin.
One of Hollywood's busiest
young men, Robert Lowery has
eight features ready for release,
including the "Big Town" series
and one co-starring with Jane
Withers titled "Danger Street" for
Pine-Thomas.
John Lund, who plays opposite
Betty Hutton in Paramount
"Perils of Pauline," gave up act
ing for a while when he found he
was making more money writing
radio shows than performing for
the New York stage.
It. looks so easy but oh, what a
talent it takes to choose the right
tie for the right combination. Every
one sees your "Tie-line" . . . where
first impressions are made . . .
where first glances mean so much.
The "Tie-line" is where a necktie
and shirt collar meet in agreement
or disagreement. A tie plays a
most important part in a man's
wardrobe it is so very personal
for it expresses the personality of
an individual; his likes and dislikes.
To aid you in the proper selection
of neckwear, HARVEY BROTHERS
present the following suggestions:
For campus the bow tie enjoys
wide acceptance especially when
paired with an odd tweed jacket
and flannel slacks. When your
problem is one of combining plain
color jacket and plaid shirt you'll
be safe in choosing a solid knitted
tie. If the jacket is Hound's tooth
check and the shirt solid color wear
a sport figured tie. Also suitable
for casual wear are the new bold
colorful non-objective patterns and
plaid ties. .
For dress wear a checked rayon
tie with a striped worsted. If in
doubt about combination rely on
solid color ties.
For formal wear a bow tie of mid
night blue, black or wine shade is
correct with a double or -single-breasted
jacket of midnight blue or
black worsted. For strictly formal
occasions the right neckwear is a
white pique bow tie.
For a correct "Tie-line" wear HAR
VEY BROTHERS ties. Featuring
exacting tailoring, full-cut, and ex
clusive, exciting patterns in beau
tiful fabrics, HARVEY BROTHERS
neckwear is the finest quality neck
wear at popular prices.
