What's behind the painting of
a water tower to a bright orange
color? Well, it's not just to make
the colloge distinctive.
"Water towers are noted for
their utility, not beauty," reports
Charles Fowler of the grounds
and buildings division. "We ex
pect to leave the tower a light
gray when we finish our paint
ing. "The bright orange is merely a
coat of red lead which is applied
to prevent rusting."
Beauty or not, the new color
will blend better with the land
scape at Ag college, and it can't
help being an improvement over
the old eyesore.
Miss Mabel Strong of the Eng
lish department was sure that the
new dean was "raising the roof"
last Monday from the sound of
things. Fact of the matter was
that he was lowering the roof in

Strong's classroom.
Carpenters are in the process of
dividing the former large room
which was the dean's office into
two rooms. One will serve as a
conference room and the other as
the office. It was necessary to
remove the tin ceiling in order
to effect a good fit for the new
wall.
The first place awarded to
M. A. Alexander's wool team at
Kansas City is not at all sur
prising to this reporter. This
gentleman's team's have been do
ing very well, considering. Ne
braska is not ordinarily consid
ered a red-hot wool department.
Two years ago, he sent a wool
team to Denver, which had
all of a week's practice at the
deal. They won first place and
he's been repeating ever since.
I'll have more to say about Mr.
Alexander after the International
event.
Warning to the maintenance
department: I'm about to say
something about sidewalks
again!!

Though half of the campus if
off to Lawrence, there is still
plenty of stuff coming off here
at home. In fact things went off
with a bang last night as unre
liable sources informed us that it
was bachelor's night at the Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ballroom
Saturday.
According to the report the
following were seen: Joe "Lover"
Williams, Gene Deeter, Don Far
ber, Jack Selzer, Jack Bruce,
Van Westover, Don 'Beetle"
Bergquist and Lee White.
Off to Kansas for the weekend
were Tom Loisel and Ginger
Meehan, Bob Axtell and Pat
Baldwin, and Don Darst and Bar
bara MeEIwain. Wendy Gauger
and Dave Myers are also headed
for Kansas. Wonder if they won't
become a little lonely?
It has come to our attention
that Bob Berkshire's name has
not been in the society column
for the last couple of days. So,
girls, here it is: BOB BERK
SHIRE. Dave "Cuddles" Chambers
and Jo Moss have been hitting it
off pretty steady as of late
looks good. Don Kornick has at
last found his true love. Why
don't you ask her to the Home
coming dance, Don?
Bob Axtell, please note: We
hear that Mardcll Buss is going to
be in a certain town for a certain
football game. Also Jerry Too
good and Kay Worcester have
been seeing quite a bit of each
other lately good luck, Jerry.
Attention girls, II. L. Davis is
now playing the field again. He
has promised that he will be
pinned by the end of the year.
Misleading signs around cam
pus sign on the Corn Shucks
office door, "The Laff Office."
ATO pledges are wondering
whether Dick Berkheimer has
hung his pin on a certain Alpha
Phi. Better straighten them out
Dick, one way or another.
Joe Polack will be seen at the
SDT formal Saturday night with
his favorite red-head.
We wonder why Merle Stalder
has not been stepping out much
lately. His best qualifications in
clude a '46 Dodge, a ranch, money
and good looks??????
That's enough.
Messiah Singers
To Participate
In Oratorio Dec. 12
Students unable to sign up for
the university chorus this year

the Messiah prov ided they have '
sung Handel's famed oratorio be
fore. Prof. David Foltz of the music
department, director of the Mes
siah, says students with previous
experience in singing the Messiah

An Adventure in
Good Smoking
V - ,
If you were to follow just any
coed about campus and you
probably have her steps would
eventually lead to Ellen Smith
Hall. Ellen Smith is the hub of
women's activities.
The AWS Board, Coed Coun
selors, and Panhellenic keep
things hopping on the upper floor
while the Dean of Women and
the YWCA hold sway on the
main floor. No, we're not going
to talk about Dean Johnston
tremble, quake. It's the Y we're
concerned with today.
A small alcove off the main
living room in Ellen Smtih is the
lair of Ruth Shinn and Barbara
Speer, the. people, '.'in the know
about YV-We dropped in on this
little two-some the other after
noon to get a few facts but be
fore we could so much as mut
ter a question, we were ap
proached on the subject of a little
red piggy bank. Said bank is'
for pennies to finance shipment
of used clothing to Europe. Ye
dare not pass this way without
a penny.
To go on with the tale, busy
Barb took some time out to tell
us about the many, many divi
sions of the YWCA.
"Y membership," she began,
"totaled something over 800 girls
last year and we're hoping for a
fine group this year when the
freshman women are eligible to
participate. We divide the organ
ization into 45 committees and
commission groups. These groups
include every field from knitting
to choir to world relations. Earh
girl may choose the commision or
commissions in which she is most
interested and attend weekly
meetings."
"What's new with the Y thrs
The six neutral powers on the
United Nations security council
Friday called on Russia to lift
the Berlin blockade at once.
Britain, France and the United
States have accused the Soviets
of endangering peace by block
ading Berlin. Russia says that no
blockade exists and that the se
curity council has no jurisdiction.
Argentina, Belgium, Canada,
China, Colombia and Syria, the
neutral powers, drafted a com
promise solution. They presented
a joint resolution which said the
four military governors of Ger
many should adopt the Soviet
mark as Berlin's sole currency
before November 20, in exchange
for lifting the blockade.
Communist Constitution Debated.
Debate was carried on Friday
in Berlin by the German Peo
ples Council on a communist
constitution for all Germany. The
communists call the state which
their constitution provides a
German Democratic Republic. The
supreme body of authority would
be the People's Chamber, com
posed of delegates of the German
people.
According to Otto Grotewohl,
co-chairman of the Soviet-sponsored
Social Unity Party, the
delegates will be representatives
of all the people, subject only to
their conscience and not tied by
any orders. The American mili
tary government warned, how
ever, that it would be a democ
racy in name only.
At least 65 persons were in
jured Thursday when the Sante
Fe's eastbound California Limited
was derailed near Garden City,
Kansas. None of the passengers
was critically injured.
Texan Named Commander.
S. Perry Brown of Beaumont,
Texas, was elected national com
mander of the American Legion
Thursday afternoon at the Le
gion's national convention in
Miami, Florida.
The Ar Force announced Fri
day that two jet fighter types,
F-80 Shooting Stars and F-84
Thunderjets, have been released
for sale to Latin-American coun
tries. No orders have been re
ceived yet from Latin-American
air forces. Purchasers must agree
that the planes will be used for
military purposes and not resold.

year?" we ask eagerly.
"The very latest addition to the
Y is our new executive secretary,
Ruth Shinn," Barb replied. "She
has only recently returned from
Turkey where she taught in
American schools and worked
with women's groups."
"We want to interview Ruth
Shinn," we cried.
"The Y," Barb reminded us.
"We have a new worship room
this year," she went on. "It's on.
the third floor of Ellen Smith
and is a place any university
woman to rest and be alone. It
is a place to think and get some
of the dizzy whirl we all revolve
in unwound."
"What's this we hear about.
UNESCO and the Y," we ven
tured. "Ssh!" she cautioned, "that
won't be out until November."
"The YWCA." Barb continued,
"is for every university woman.
In it she can find service, thouRht
provoking discussion and jobs
that take particular skills. We
hope that it can give her a boost
toward a well-rounded college
life."
At this point we tried to slip in
a few questions about a certain
Miss Barbara Speer but without
success. Items we can dig out of
our own meager knowledge .will
have to suffice.
Barb retires early we know,
we've tried to call to get plenty
of rest for her busy day. When
she isn't in the Y office Br.rb can .
be found at Student Council meet
ings you can't miss that red hair.
Her sociology major keeps her
going, too. When she's not in
volved in these things we hear
she plays a mean game of soft-ball.
Student Teams
Lead Religious
Services Here
An Interdenominational Depu
tations Committee under the au
spices of the Religious Welfare
Council was organized this fall by
a group of students representing
the various campus student
houses.
Bev Dainton was elected chair
man; Lois Barelman, secretary;
Keith Jorgensen, treasurer and
Gordon Lippitt, advisor.
The committee assists in wor
ship services at the State Reform
atory and at the Emmanuel Meth
odist church ta 13th and U.
Each Sunday an interdenomina
ttional student team plans and
conducts the services in co-operation
with the various student pas
tors. Bev Dainton reports that the
committee plans to take part in
church services throughout the
state this year.
Prior to this year all University
deputation teams have been strict
ly mono-denominational and the
committee members hope that the
co-opei at ion which is necessary
for such a program will institute
better understanding among the
different religious groups.
All who are interested in this
organization can contact any of the
oincers or the Presbyterian Stu
dent House.
