"Keep your resistance high," says Dr. Samuel "Fuenning,
director of the student health service. 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!

a feat for a frosh but then Jo is

John Anderson is now pinned

"Thar's' latent in Unit thar uni

At least that is what the cam
pus radio show, "Talent N. U.," is
out to prove. 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.

An Adventure in

M. J.
down O street the morning of the
game. 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!
