General Henninger explained
that since the Nebraska Guard
was an expanding organization,
there is ample opportunity for
advancement. He emphasized the
fact that all National Guardsmen
can complete all the requirements
for a commission at home with
out interference with their educa

NV Calendars
Make Useful
Gifts-Sampson
"Ideal Christmas gifts" are what
Jeannie Sampson, Student Foun
dation secretary, calls the new and
useful Nebraska Calendar. "If
you're pondering over your gift
list," says Miss Sampson, "it
would be wise to consider giving
the Calendars, published this year
by the Foundation."
The 32-page memorandum
books are printed especially to
commemorate the 80th anniver
sary of the University. In the tra
ditional colors of white and red,
the Calendar offers pictures of
campus highlights which stir fond
memories.
Priced at only $1, the Calendars
are obtainable in the Foundation
office, 308 Union, booths in the
Library and Law school, campus
bookstores, Miller and Paine's,
and from house representatives.
The Calendars were planned to
appeal to students, faculty mem
bers, alumni, and university
friends. Pages alternating in pho
tographs and memorandum spaces
should prove interesting and use
ful to the buyers.
The Calendars are sold already
boxed, cutting coiners on that
Christmas-gift wrapping. They are
easy to mail and attractively
shaped.
"Now that the Christmas season
approaches (pledges say it's only
44 days away), it's time to order
your 1949 Nebraska Calendar,"
comments Miss Sampson.

"They Stride the Land."
This is the story of the old-time

One of the unusual features
about this program is that it will
have "live music," according to
Darrel Peters, instructor in the ra
dio section of the speech depart
ment. The "live music" will be
furnished by Miss Helen Murray
of the music school, who will play
the fiddle for the early American
