Society Kditor rhotoirrapner " " T. ' "j ws Kditor Damaged Books . . . Nebraska University's Don L. Love Memorial library is one of America's most modern college libraries. The building was erected with a gift of $850,000 from the estate of Don L. Love, for many years a prominent Lincoln lawyer and banker, and twice mayor of the city. It was completed in 1943, and, after its reconversion from wartime use as an ASTP barracks, $250,000 was spent in furnishing and equipping the building. It has space for more than 800,000 books and documents. Many large read ing rooms provide space for more than 1,000 students under modern lighting conditions at spacious study tables. Tt crnps u-ithnnt sflvinrr that our library is certainly one of which we may be proud. But it takes mtre than just prick to keep the library, and its books, in good condition. Library officials report that a small minority of the students have been damaging books to the extent of tearing pages out of them. The books in the library are purchased with tax money. So when students destroy them, they are only taking money from the pockets of their parents, friends and relatives. Of course, this is exaggerating the point a bit, but it's hardly fair to the people of Nebraska just to throw their money out the window. And it's not being considerate of the stu dents to damage books or parts of books. Nothing can be more disgusting than to spend 30 minutes reading a refer ence book and then discover that the next five pages have been torn out. But enough of the preaching. If the small number of students who are responsible for damaging books will stop and consider the situation, it can be cleared up with very little trouble. FRITZ SIMPSON Saying Hel Cross . . .

BY PAT NORDIN Becoming more elaborate every year, Mortar Board ball corsages leached outlandish heights this season making dancing and even w alking a task. Abused Arv Rey nolds had a snow laden shoulder complete vith skiers, tobaggons and the rest produced by Marilyn Bramer evidently denoting that Arv is the out-door type. Danny Jones wore his little gem in his hair. Cunning new steady Sh'rley Hahn fashioned a coon skin cap phis a pop gun and the inscription "I trapped you, Dan'l." Paving the way for Benny Rob inson's future experiments was Audry Rosenbaum. Her master piece consisted of two mangy guinia pigs name of "Buttons and Bows" (caged) and a carrot or two. As for Saturday night, four social functions managed to instill the Christmas spirit. Chi Omega girls held their an nual Christmas formal at their house Saturday. Social chairman Lou Scharman imited Bob Wei mar, Ellen Mahood asked Mike Swanda, and Jean Rummel dated Bub Freed. Hidden among the angel's hair was Russ Kruger and combo. The Ag Men's Social club danced to Gay Fiestner's music at a semi-loimal holiday ball at the Activities building Saturday night. Dancing beneath blue and white streamers were Liia iviucRe Mnd Duke Albert. Connie Fouts and Jack Wright, Dottie Bowman and Keith Arterburn. The Wilson hall Christmas party had a charity theme. Admission was a toy to be given to a local orphanage. Attending the event after the game were Jean Shor man and Tom Andreas, Norma Keuten and Tom Clark. The AGR's went Western at their house party.

Commented Har rington, "Esdras makes a very serious attempt to help his chil dren. It is a role of a philosopher, quite unusual lor the theatre. Most other dramatic parts typify phases of philosophy. It is un usual to see a definite philosoph er in a play. In the end. Esdras sees great beauty in what other wise would be a sordid scene." The fourth major character is that of Garth, enacted by Dewey Gancll. arts and sciences senior from McCook. CHRISTMAS GIFT WRAP Deluxe Noreross Gift Wrap Matching Tfs, Seals. Ribbons.
