EDWARD II. SMITH, director of student housing and employ
ment, glances over a list of available part-time jobs for students.
And he probably has another much longer list, for this year he
has found 750 jobs for students.
Jobless Men Rescued
By Placement Bureau
"A man without a country"
may run into a lot of trouble, but
a man without a job usually runs
into even more trouble. The
"man without a country" has no
recourse at the University, but
the man without a job can solve
his problem.
To help students solve their
job problems, the University
operates a little-known but highly
valuable service, the office of
student employment. At the
head of this office, the Univer
sity has placed Edward H. Smith,
'48, who now holds the official
tiile, Director of Student Em
ployment and Housing.
Job Center Provides Housing
Students can go to this office,
located in room 209 of the Ad
ministration Building, for help
with both employment and hous
ing, but as far as this article goes
it is assumed that the students
are well-housed but perhaps
without employment.
"The Employment Office," ex
plained Mr. Smith, "serves as a
bureau whereby jobs can be
channeled for student employ
ment." The office is open to all
university students, office hours
from 8:30 to 12 a. m. and from
1 to 4:30 p. m.
In explaining the methods of
the office, Mr. Smith said that
all the larger firms in the city
are informed by letter of the
work of the office, while the
smaller firms are informed by
word-of-mouth and by contact
with the larger firms. A great
number of the Lincoln firms,
therefore, inform the employment
offices whenever jobs are avail
able. Type of Work Explained
The office also works in con
junction with the U. S. Employ
ment Office. But aside from
merely locating jobs for students,
the office also "helps the student
understand the real nature of the
job before taking it.
The Employment office doesn't
engage merely in fancy red tape
letter campaigns, for it has al

ready landed 750 students jobs.
And, of course, the office will
continue to find jobs for students
during the rest of the school year.
"A large number of students
are starting to feel the pangs of
high prices, and therefore many
of them are looking for jobs," ac
cording to job director, Smith. He
went on, however, to predict more
available jobs during the coming
Christmas rush period.
More Jobs Available
"Thus far," reports Mr. Smith,
"students have been doing a good
job on the whole. Up to now,

Male Hunting Season
Opens for M.B. Ball
"Listen, my children!" female
children, that is.
Less than a month remains in
which to sink that dreamboat with
an invitation to the Mortar Board
ball. He has undobutedly been
floating about on a sea of admira
tion the entire semester, but at
least the time has come.
Are you shy? Do you quake at
the thought of broaching the sub
ject to that handsome hunk of
hero?
M. B.'s Anticipate Shyness
Members of Mortar Board an
ticipate this situation, and for that
very reason the ball has always
been one of the more formal and
staid of campus affairs. Han,
therefore, for a delightful even
ing in the most refined company.
Last year's ball reached the ep
itome of conservatism.
The M. B.'s called for their dates
in a hearse, while others traveled
i nthe plush comfort of a hay-rack,
wheel-barrow or a model T.
Lasses Uresent Unique Corsages
The more timid lasses presented
their dates with corsages of onions,
dog biscuits, mistle toe and

NU Calendar
Sales Drive
To Continue
A spirited Nebraska calendar
sales campaign will continue for
two additional weeks, according to
Jeannie Sampson, Student Foun
dation sales manager.
The memorandum and date
books will be offered to students
through organized house visits,
booths, and campus bookstores.
The 80th anniversary booklet is
also on sale downtown exclusively
at Miller and Paine department
store.
Workers Canvass Houses
Foundation workers will can
vass all organized houses and
booths this week under the di
rection of Jan Nutzman. Several
hundred calendars, suitable for
gifts, have already been sold in
the houses. Men's houses will be
contacted Monday night.
All university faculty members
will be visited by Foundation
members to sell the Nebraska cal
endars. Sally Holmes is in charge
of the faculty campaign, which
will be carried on in each campus
building.
Booths will be set up in the li
brary and Union under the super
vision of Rockne Holmes. The
Christmas gift theme will be car
ried out at the booths.
Sell for $1
Calendars are being sold by the
Foundation, with the approval of
the university, for $1 each. Uni
versity alumni have also been
contacted. They are 30-page book
lets and boxed ready for mailing.
An idea of Genene Mitchell,
Student Foundation head, the cal
endars are the first to be made
on this campus.
Wheaties, while the really brave
gals loaded their dates with
Christmas trees, horse shoes and
bulletin boards and shackled them
with chains. At intermission a
number of "happy-go-lucky" in
dividuals spread out a table cloth
and held a picnic, without ants, on
the coliseum floor.
But enough of last year's feeble
endeavor,. The '48 Mortar Board
ball promises even more. A na
tionally known coast-to-coast
heard, hit-parade topping band
will turn out danceable nilisic. The
loudspeaker and accoustics will be
adjusted to carry a whisper.
Bachelor Presentation Planned
Eight eligible bachelors will be
presented at a distance designed
to insure their safety. Last year's
bachelors were: Irv Dnna, Lee
Good-win, John Ayres, Bob Wenke,
By Hooper, Jim Swanson and Al
Potter.
Tickets will go on sale very
soon, so bring that piggy bank out
of the moth balls and put him into
action.
The ball is Dec. 10. Tick that
club, magnifying glass and hand-
culls, and let s go!
4000 Expected to View
Eight Fraternity Skits
An audience of 4,000 is
tion of the Kosmet Klub Fall Review at 8 p. m. this eve
ning in the coliseum.

late Thursday that 3,000 tickets had been purchased. The
rest will be sold at the door.
Carson M. C.
Eight fraternities will present
skits, music being provided by
Jean Moyer and Orchestra.
John Carson, like last year, will
be master of ceremonies.
The order of the houses and

"Chew, Chew Choo Choo."
An interesting attraction of the
evening will be that in each pro
gram there will be a special" cou
Don. This couDon. along with fifty
cents, will admit one couple to
Kings after the show.
Another new attraction this year
is the innovation of a specal men's
quartet which will entertain be
tween act. The quartet, composed
of Gordon Galy, Bill French, Lloyd
Lotspeich, and Herb Jackman, will
highlight their program by harmo
nizing the Kosmet Klub Nebraska
