Nebraska university is having a little trouble returning
to its' pre-war prominence in
subject with which all university students and Nebraska fans
are concerned. Let's look at the situation to throw some
light as to why the university is having such a struggle.
In the first place, our school was not blessed with a
Navy V-12 unit until September, 1945. True, Nebraska had
an ASTP unit, but because of government regulations, these
Army men were not allowed to participate in inter-collegiate
athletics. Now here's the point, schools with V-12 units had
plenty of athletes. Many of these Navy men were outstand
ing and kept their respective schools on a high level in
athletics. Then, when the war ended, many of these men
returned to the colleges they had attended while in the Navy.
Whereas the Navy athletes who returned to Nebraska have
done much for its athletic program .there have been very
few of them. Thus, our university has virtually started from
scratch.
In the second place, many of Nebraska's outstanding
high school athletes have been going to other schools. Too
little attention has been given to these men in the past few
? rears. Also, the university has not tried, to any extent, to
ure out-of-state athletes, those in areas close to Nebraska.
And there are plenty of good out-of-state athletes who would
come to Nebraska with a little persuasion.
This editorial is not meant to run down members of the
Nebraska team. They're all good players and deserve a lot
of credit. But it should be remembered that they are playing
against men who have been in the game a long time.
The situation is gradually improving. Potsy Clark,
Coach Good, Coach Weir and other athletic heads are renew
ing Nebraska's efforts to obtain top quality men. They
are carrying on extensive programs to bring Nebraskans to
Nebraska. The work need not be confined to the athletic
department, however. Students can help by talking to men
whom they know are outstanding prospects for Nebraska
teams.
All we students and fans need to maintain now is pa
tience. It won't be long, with everyone's co-operation before
Nebraska will once again take its place among the leaders
of inter-collegiate football.

Th onlv reasons, we think, that
from the Ag Student Union library are: to salvage English themes,
to build a private library because their own text books either aren't
interesting enough or don't contain pretty pictures, just pure cussed
ness, or perhaps, because last year's Monky Ward catalogue has
been misplaced.
Regardless, those books are property of every N. U. student and
are placed in the Union lounge for everyone's enjoyment. If your
friends help themselves permanently to those books, you are being
cheated. Therefore, we ask your co-operation in otecting your
books from this outrage.

Saying
By Van Westover.
Today the big push' begins as
Nebraskans prepare to invade
K. U. land. More and more cou
ples have decided daily to make
the jaunt and include Ginger Mee
han and Tom Loisel, Carolyn Bu
kacck and Scotty Christian, and
Pat Baldwin and Bob Axtell. It
appears that everyone and his
brother is going and and a whee
of a time is sure to be had by
one and all.
One of those remaining in Lin
coln over the week-end is Nancy
Glynn, who is just plain confused
about her love life and wants the
time to think the whole situation
over. Nancy is making absolutely
no comments on the subject and
that is really unusual for her. The
whole thing boils down to whether
she should keep up the rapid pace
that goes with dating Don Fin
strom or should she just be done
with the whole thing and accept
Bob Jordan's pin.

A few days ago, six senior wom

being finalists for Honorary
Colonel to be presented at the
Military Ball. In spite of all the
attention they are currently re
ceiving, all six girls still remain
human. Betty Aasen, pinned to
Lee Kjelson who is teaching in
Valentine, has thrown caution to
the wind and dates his fraternity
brothers.
Busy Lois Gillett only finds time
to catch her forty winks in Love
library and refuses to be awak
ened by the librarian. Fhyl Har
ris causes a huge sensation by
riding Pinmate Paul Blumer's
motor scooter about the campus
while wearing her Mortar Board
suit. Discouraging to the freshman
woman, isn't it?
Beryl Lotspcich finds it very
embarrassing to walk into the
Crib with Jack Meehan for a coke
date and have him introduce her
to Randy Ewing. She was faced
with tactfully saying, "Yes, I
know Randy. I date him, too."

Sherry Swanson draws atten
tion by sitting all by herself in

you don't have a nickel to pay
for it and that you don't know a
single person in the place to bor
row one from.

Meddling With Melick
By M. J.
We went to the Notre Dame
game last weekend. You did, too?
What a coincidence. So did 30,-
000 other people. Crowded
wncn't it? In fac-r it was so
cmwrieH that we couldn't help
oauonrlrnnninff on snatches of
adjacent conversation all con
cerned with the muddled scaling
situation.
Rumors flew thick and fast
throuch the eollceiate air all
week. Those we heard were bit
ter commentary about "exorbi
tant ticket prices." "adults in stu
dent blocks" and "double sale of
seats." The responsibility for these
little acts of skullduggery is, of
course, being placed on the broad
shoulders of number one campus
scapegoat, A. J. Lewandowski.
Maybe he deserves the kicks. He
certainly gets them.
In the dark of night we traipsed
shoeless our feet hurt across
the campus to the Coliseum where
we found Mr. Lewandowski work
ing late, as usual. Lew spent more
than an hour trying to explain the
whole situation to this befuddled
columnist.
This then is "the word" from
higher up.
Mr. Lewandowski has ex
plained the situation which oc
curred at the Iowa State game to
the complete understanding, if not
satisfaction, of the student body.
The upshot of the whole thing
was that there was more demand
than seats. As you all know by
now, "stairway" tickets for the
ensuing games have been printed.
These tickets entitle the holders
to sit on the stairs between the
regularly marked sections, period.
There is a seat for every ticket
issued by the athletic office, pe
riod. No two tickets have been
issued for the same seat, also pe
riod. Any double-dealing on the tick
et score has been strictly unof
ficial and isolated. There are di
verse methods of capitalizing on

All people possessing pictures
this ticket business and those in
dividuals who will resort to such
tactics as burning their own
grandmothers nt the stake for
"that green stu if" 6eem to have
figured out all the angles.
One concrete example of how
it's done runs something like this.
The books marked "stairway" are
tampered with and the net result
Is a book marked "B 47 11" or
any other seat number. All it takes
is a little ink craicator and a
pen. Fine Idea? There's a catch.
It just ran't be done without
traces. File that one in the waste
basket. The guards and ushers
know the story, too.
Mr. Lewandowski has to do
some tall guessing each Janua-flr
wnen ne pians uie scaling ar
rangements in the Stadium for tlio
coming season. This year's un
precedented demand seriously
garbled the situation. But its
been done. Lew made a bad guess
which could be straightened out
with the full co-operation of the
students.
On paper the set up for the
next three games looks plausible.
If everyone sits where his ticket
indicates he is to be seated we'll
all be snug and warm but we'll
all see the game.
Lets have a little square-
shooting by all concerned for the
rest of the season. UVs cards
are on the table. It's up to us
to play them. It's a big university.
The margin for error is great The
headaches are our own let's not
add to them.
What about next year? Take a
look at the schedule for next sea
son. No Notre Dame game.' No
UCLA! It is games like these
which create the avalanche of
ticket demands.
But for this year let's havi
3k
some 01 the old "pull-together'
spirit to make the best of a situa
tion which really "ain't" so bad.
We can all be seated if we only
will. There's room! Just take up
your share!
