W THE DAILY NEBRASKAN iWe'dnesHay, March' 12, 1947 The Griper The physical development of the griper has been con centrated on two organs the one he talks with and the one he sits on. He makes a brave noise with his mouth, but has the courage of a hyena and the co-operative spirit of a donkey, The eriDer never savs. "Let George do it." He screams, "Why hasn't George done it?" It never occurs to him that ne rnignt nave aone it iimisen. When the cat needs belling, the griper is the first to see it, but don't expect any help from him when you get ready to do the job. He will shuffle off mumbling that he isn't going to stick his neck out. In the presence of equals, the griper is free with bom bastic denunciation of people in authority, but let a profes sor or an administrative officer appear and he falls over himself to go into the most disgusting act of bootlicking. The griper is an arrant sychophant. His mind is a vacuum and his speech is claptrap. He has neither the courage to back his play nor the sense to keep his mouth shut. The griper is that which the Virginia said you should smile when you called him one. Whenever we hear him begin his act, we think of this quotation from an unknown writer: When you hark to the voice of the griper, As you list to his hammer fall; Remember the fact that the griping act Kequires no brains at all.

Council Corner by Sam Warren Dial Twistings BY LEE HARRIS By merely tipping the dial on your home radio to KFOR at 11:30 today, each and every one of you ham hear one of radio's best mid day half hour shows. At that time the Kenny Baker program takes the air for 30 minutes or enter taining variety, featuring that . ,0 . V 14-day Wonder House r ft T"' j-C " """" . popular vocalist of the same name. At 12:15, following Baukhage who reviews the news every day of the week, Ted Malone offers radio listeners a human interest story of the highest quality that late day writers can offer. Much of the time, Ted takes his thought from an actual happening from everyday life. Together with the quality of material offered and the way Ted Malone puts it into form, this fifteen minute period can be the day's most enjoyable time to you. Slipping through the day and dipping into the after dinner en tertainment, we find that Songs Last December, the Student Council sent four students to re present the university at the Chi cago Student Conference, a meet ing in which 727 delegates repre sented 672 colleges and univer sities and 55 national student or ganizations for the purpose of or ganizing a national organization of students. A National Continuations Com mittee was established for the purpose of preparing a constitu tion and a general plan of activity to be presented to a larger assem blage of people at the University of Wisconsin this September. For the purpose of fascilitating the activities of the activities of the organization the county was divided into 30 regions, one of which includes North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. During this past weekend a re gional meeting was held at Du chesne College in Omaha, with fifteen colleges and universities participating. The purpose of the meeting was to arouse greater in terest in the national organization and in the constitutiontl conven tion this summer. Regional oranization was dis cussed at the Duchesne meeting and regional officers were elected. The officers are Eugene Barman, of the university, regional char man: Bill Long, Kearney state college, vice-president; Don Niel sen, University of Omaha, treas urer; Robert Nickerson, Creighton University, secretary; and Wesley Sandvig, Augustana college, pub licity chairman. Most of the meeting was con cerned with a discussion of the organization, its aims, purposes, methods, and structure. Following the lengthy discussion of the pro posed organization it was found that all delegates present favored by Frank Sinatra fill the bill at 8:00 over KFAB. This same "Frankie" who is loved by mil lions of older as well as teen age listeners takes over the CBS network for one-half of the time between eight and nine this evening. As usual, . Bing Crosby steals the spotlight at 9:00, as he echoes his majestic tones your way. Crosby, known to some people as "God's gift to music," sings and wise-cracks until 9:30. At this time Infor mation Please retuns to the air after a leave of absence. In order to catch this long favored quiz program, switch that same little dial of KFAB, if you haven't exhausted your self by listening to both Sinatra and Crosby before this. Tonight is one of the last nights for Campus Chatter and Tunes, so all those who favor this show had better not miss tonights show, to say goodbye to Simon s Snooper.

For this reason the meeting continued on organiza tional lines, the high-point being the assessment of each campus for an amount of money in accordance to a formula set up based on a per-capita and representative bas is. The money is to be used to support the NCC, both national and regional, during the interim period until the constitutional conference. Because of the brief time that had been allotted for the confer ence, and because the delegates wanted to get the opinions of their campuses concerning the proposed constitution for the NSA before the region made recom mendations for presentation at the constitution convention, is was de cided that another regional meet ing be held on May 10 and 11. An all out drive to interest oth er schools in the organization and to be present at the next regional meeting and the national consti tutional convention has been un dertaken by the executive com mittee.
