He gives this advice in view of the recent large number of flu cases on the campus and the unusually long polio season this year. Most readers will probably scoff and say, "University students don't have to be told to take care of their health." However we don't think it hurts anyone to be reminded once in a while that no one is immune from sickness. Care should be taken especially since so many students have been report ing to the health service in the hist two weks with colds and flu. But th main thing we urge, for your own protection and for THE PROTECTION OF OTHERS, is for students with bad colds or "aches and pains" that might indicate flu to report to the student health service for a check-up. Check your colds or flue before you pass them on to others. The student health service Use it!

Every Wednesday two university students appear on the program, which is broadcast over station KFOR at 11.00 p.m. Mary and Bob Baker, host and hostess of the program, invite all students interested in participat ing on the show to contact them through the-Nebraska Book Store. Appearing on the first program were Mary Sue Holland and Jack Carson. The two were each pre sented with a gift for performing. At the end of each program, a question is directed to several members of the studio audience. The participant who comes the closest to answering the question is awarded a five dollar certificate which can be used to purchase books. The purpose of the program, as outlined by Bob Baker, is to fos ter a competitive spirit on the campus and to find hidden uni versity talent.

This year a large group of students, namely the sororities, which have always made up at least half of the parade.have decided that this part of the Homecoming pro gram is expendible. Perhaps they are not stirred by martial music and the sight of rallying Corn husqers. Perhaps they do not feel that it is essential for campus spirit to prevade throughout the city on such an Occasion. We are certain that these argu ments are not the real causes for withlrawing sorority support of the project, and yet the reasons we have been able to discover for discontinuing the Homecoming pa rade are equally lame. The statements are this . 1. The time consummed in pre paring a float for the Homecoming parade is so great that large num bers of affiliated girls are acquir ing "down slips" as a direct re sult. 2. The materials involved in constructing a float are expensive. To the first reason we w-nnlrl like to say "Reallv!". in nnr mnut disgusted tone. It seems absolute ly inconceivable that sixty women the total membership of most sororities could not organize their time in such a manner that it would be necessary for some of its workers to fail while promoting so simple a project. At the most, the time consume! in construct ing a float could not exceed 30 hours. Divide that number by 60 and discover the large slice of time it takes out of one person's study routine. We realize that these groups are simultaneously erecting house dec orations for the same event. Per haps a choice should be made but we doubt it. Under any other cir cumstances that half-hour of work, usually devoted to a float, would be spent "cribbing" with out a doubt the most necessary of pastimes. The financial angle is ridiculous from the outset. The limit on funds spent for a Homecoming float is io. i ins sum looks feeble indeed alongside the staggering amounts spent for spring formats and house parties. True, the parade may go on without whole-hearted support but the game is not just for fraterni ties and affiliated groups who, incidentally are willing to sacri fice a few hours for Husker spirit. Football, getting behind the team, Homecoming and all the fun that goes with them arc for everyon to contribute to and to enjoy. Come on, girls, let's get in there and pitch. Nobody wants to stand on the sidelines and watch life go by. With an inconceivably small expenditure of time and money you can once again become an fii tegral part of THAT CORNilUSK L'R SPIRIT. What Is It? It's a convention! It's a cam paign! It's something the Coi n Cobs are selling! Rumors are flying- about the green and yellow l.rpel tags that are anncaring all ver the campus. If one takes a closer look, several conclusions can be drawn: (1) the person wear ing the tag undoubtedly is an Ag student; and (2) the tag mentions something about "Let's go to the Farmers' For mal." Which means: The biggest hick event of the year is ap proaching this Friday night the Farmers' Formal. Get your date and get your ticket from any Ag Exec Board member now and LET'S GO to the FARMERS' FORMAL!
