'Blue Book Blues' Hit Campus as Kiddies'
Craniiims Crack Under Finals Phobia
BY SUSIE REED.
By now most everyone's run
out of ideas of how to put off
studying for exams, and it's high
time we all got at those, books.
Gather up all the essentials for
studying books, class notes, old
exams, paper, pencils, cigarettes
and head for some secluded
spot. The further you can get
away from civilization the bet
ter. Lock out all room-mates and
the like, put radios out of reach,
and t-ke the telephone receivers
off their hooks.
First of all, make a complete
survey of the material you're
about to review and establish a
definite plan for your studying.
It doesn't take much in the way
of brain matter to pick out the
essentials of a course. Go through
your material and eliminate the
details that won't appear on an
exam. There's certainly no point
in memorizing the fact that in
1921, the U.S. Department of Ag
riculture spent six million, four
hundred ninety-six thousand, five
hundred seventy-seven dollars
and thirty-two cents or in learn
ing the details of your history
prof'-s relatives.
The Technique.
Now that you see what you
have ahead of you, take a deep
breath and dive in. Some things
have to be memorized. The thing
to do is simply to dig into them
and get them down pat there's
no easy road to memorization. But
then there are theories and poli
cies and ideas which will turn up
as essay questions on a final. Read
over the material you have on
the subject and then make a brief
outline of it Go through the
headings and sub-headings and
fill in the outline mentally.
Many of your books have the
subject matter of each paragraph
stated concisely in the margin.
These phrases aren't put there
just to decorate the edges of the
pages. Read them and ask your
self, "Do I know all about this
phase of the chapter? Do I know
the functions of the Department
of Commerce?"

Don't expect to have finished
your reviewing in' a half hour. It

Pershing Rifles
Presents New
Marching Song
"Pershing Rifles March," an
original marching song, was given
its first performance at the Rifles
pre-initiation dance Friday.
Music was written by Cadet
Robert H. Volmer in collaboration
jwith lyricist, Cadel Paul Rus-
hUIIl.
Company A-2 sponsor, Beverly
Haarman, was present at the
dance honoring the pledges of the
university chapter of the honor
ary military fraternity.
Words to the new march follow:
We are the Pershing Rifles, our Job la
never through.
Oh see our colors wave so free, so proud,
so true.
We are the Pershing Rifles, we never miss
a trifle.
We're always working (marching) with
a snip for white and blue.
Founded by John J. Pershing in 1692.
A Military frat that has the will to do.
With pride we show our record.
Kor It, our best we'll give.
Perfection is our motto, and by it we'll
live.
Trio.
Oh here we come, oh see our band, a
proud fraternity.
With men la line and spirit fine, we'll
live eternally.
We'll never forget the days we spent in
Company A-2.
i So on we march, for good old "PR,"
March March March!
will take time. But concentrated,
whole-hearted study will be com
pleted sooner than haphazard
study. And now that you're done,
maybe you still have a few ques
tions that puzzle you. Now's the
time to consult your room-mate
or the fellow that sits next to you
in class (if you go to class) or
your professor.
When you've finished your
study program, you'll be able to
walk into that exam with confi
dence. Furthermore, you'll be able
to walk out.
P. S.: Don't forget your blue-books.

enthusiasts.
The sponsoring committee has
requested that no fires be built
on the location until arrange

retary, and C. E. Berg, treasurer.

Polio Research
Elaborated
By Chancellor
Research in the field of infan
tile paralysis is passing thru its
longest stage, that of "tooling up,"
Dr. R. G. Gustavson, state com
paign chairman, explained today.
"The initial period of defining
problems and finding tools with
which to work in the scientific
world is always the longest," he
said. "While much progress has
been made in the various phases
of research into the disease, polio
is a disease about which relatively
Little is definitely known
where the virus causing it comes
from, how it enters the human
body, what its course is once in
side an individual, how it grows
and its effect on nervous tissue.
But some of the answers are
beginning to take shapes. We
know a great many things that
are not significant in the disease,
and all this gives us a foundation
on which some day we will find
how to handle the disease."
In order to continue the mam
moth job of research that is con
stantly being, carried out by the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, support of the March
of Dimes is necessary. The drain
on the foundation treasuries has
grown tremendously with the ex
pansion of its research program
and with the staggering cumula
tive case load of the epidemics
of 1946 and 1947.
The expansion of the research
program has brought 24 branches
of science into the search for a
cure of preventive for polio Sani
tary engineering, and even psy
chology and psychiatry are fields
in which the research of polio has
expanded.
Money contributed in the an
nual March of Dimes has enabled
the National Foundation to ex
pand its nationwide program of
research until it now supports 89
projects in 55 of the country's hos
pitals, universities and research
labratories in 29 states. The Uni
versity of Nebraska is included in
this list.
In 1946, the university was
granted $11,980 for their signifi
cant research program, and again
in 1947 a similar grant made
possible the continuation of this
important project.
