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.

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

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.

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.

ganization and were willing
to take such a recommen
dation back to the campuses each
represented. 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

An all out drive to interest oth

to be present at the next regional
meeting and the national consti
