Now that vacation is over and we are all attending clas ses again at least those of us who aren't stranded by snow drifts in the west we have the cheerful thought of final examinations ahead. Needless to say, now is the time to start reviewing for those exams without waiting until the night before to cram which is the usual procedure with the average University student. , ' In order to give students a better opportunity and more time for their review, the Faculty Senate, with urging from the Student Council, has called off classes on Jan. 17 and 18, Monday and Tuesday, before exams begin. We wish to thank the council for their efforts and the administration for finally realizing that students do need this extra time as it is next to impossible for students with one or two tests on the first day of the exam session to pre pare well for those exams if classes are held and papers are due right up until the last minute. Now students have the two-day study period they have been screaming about wanting for years. Let's see them use , it ti advantage.

Abductors of the skeleton en tered the laboratory through two windows one night. A biology de partment professor slated that the skeleton has practically no mone tary value, since it has been in use many years and a number of bone-colleciing students have con fiscated parts of it for souvenirs.

Perhaps detecting the resemblance, the general topic of conversation ran to the big Eve everyone insisting they had the biggest party. Some of these stories do prove interesting. For instance, partyer Lee Harris attended a party after a party after a party and arrived home in time to listen to the Rose Bowl game. Biggest event was at the Rome hotel in Omaha after which Thelma Goldstein, Harvey Davis and Don Stern threw another af fair at the home of Martin Lin coln. Irv Veitzer rested up a whole week for this being true ; to Denver girl ,eva nuiiner. Big day for Shirley Sabin and j Carl Quisenberry was New Year's ! itself when they attended a wed I ding their own. The Farm House boys threw a gala ehivaree in : their honor Tuesday night, com i plete with horns and spotlights, j In fact ,it was such a big affair members of the local constabulary also attended. Another F. H. tying the knot was Jim Mitkle who married Lois I Thorfinson just before vacation. I The holidays really did it though, for such couples as Terry States I and Roy Chelf, Joyce Rosenof and Roily Groteluschen. and Tish Gardner and Fred Hawkins de- J cided to make it for keeps. Snow, snow everywhere. So ! many people are snowbound that ! some one might easily write a ' poem about it. It could be en j titled "Snowbound." Among the ranks of these lucky people were I Polly Ann Rickley and Scott j Christian who journeyed to I O'Neill follow ing their New Year's Eve party at the Birch wood club. ' There are those who are looking i j forward to Monday night and a : i probable candy passing. I Then there were Lorna Born-, holt and Nobby Tiemann who j were happily trapped in Ran-: j dolph. Jacky Anderson and Don I Morrison wished the storm could ihave progressed farther east and I lengthened their stay in Wash- ington, D. C. Also snowbound, i but not at all chargrined, were Mae Tenny and Bob Bass. Colorado 'Players' Stage 'WinterseC I Turning to Colorado Univer sity's "The Silver and Gold," we find that the Colorado Players' :club recently presented Maxwell Anderson's play, "Winterset." j The same play, as a University I Theater production at Nebraska in December, won hearty applause ' Irom the critics. At Colorado, the performance was given similar praise. Special honors went to the ' student who played the part of Judge Gaunt. His performance ! was described as a "perfect dem ! onslration that the only difference I between a professional actor and an amateur is that the former gets ! paid a great tribute to a young ster in the field of acting. C"i . . i ji t News of the Day Truman Advocates $4 Billion Tax Hike State of Union 'Good' BY LEE HARRIS President Truman Wednesday stole the headlines away from the raging blizzard in the mid-west with his address on the "state of the union." The Chief-Executive, address ing the joint session of congress, said the state of the nation was "good." He outlined in the latter part of his speech several "short coming" that the nation was suf fering. The President advocated higher taxes, standby price control, and legislation covering public hous ing, prepaid insurance and re peal of the Taft-Hartley Act. In his review of the great strides the nation has taken in recent years the President talked of even greater strides that can and will be taken in the future. He hinted that should private in dustry fail to the shoulder the burden of expansion the gov ernment might itself do this. The President submitted an eight point program against in flation. The program embodied some measures and legislation that had been recommended before to a republican dominated congress. The feeling now is that the con gress will go along on most points with the President. Asks Tax Raise Mr. Truman asked the congress to raise four billion dollars more to provide a surplus in the treas ury that would allow for the re- uriivi RADIO Christmas vacation is over. Now that all the students have helped, put away the yuletide log and have gathered up their belong ings and dragged their white ele phants back to school, we pause for a minute to give one last sad look at the past glorious vacation. The radio department presented a nice yul"tide gift to radio lis teners with a clever radio fantasy entitled "Shooting Stars." Have you ever heard a star talk? The great North Star's booming voice was heard over the Author's of Age's program. The "North Star" was explain ing to the "Littlest Star" how he had one great shining hour during the birth of Christ and how, con sequently cannot shine as bright as he did that night. The Littlest Star was applying for a license to shine. In case any listners did not know, all self-respecting stars must apply for licenses to shine. Bob Lundberg played the "North Star" and Clare Denton turned in a top performance as the "Lit tlest Star." When comes the time to award the radio oscar of this column to the best play and the best actor, "Shooting Stars" will rate high on the list. The "gang" worked all Christ mas vacation at KFOJt. Chuck Johnson, Charlie Dugdale and Lydia Nekuda represented the radio section at KFOR. The two MANY RADIO JODS OPEN! Many jobt in rod ic for Colleo rro'med man and women.

Wothinglon 1 0, D.C duction of the 252 billion-dollar national debt. The President rec ommended that this additional tax come principally from additional cooperate tax. A portion of the added tax in come would be raised from re vised gift tax and estate tax. And "consideration" should be given to raising personal income taxes in the middle and upper brackets. The eight point anti-inflation program which the President asked congress to enact: 1. To continue power to con trol "consumer credit and enlarge the power to control bank credit. 2. To grant authority to reg ulate speculation on the commod ity exchanges. 3. To continue export control authority and provide adequate machinery fur its enforcement. 4. To continue the priorities and allocation authority in. the field of transportation. 5. To authorize priorities and allocations of key materials in short supply-later he said those allocations, plus price controls, might be put to use in housing. 6. To exend and strengthen rent control. 7. To provide standby author ity to impose price ceilings for scarce commodities which basical ly affect essentia! industrial pro duction or the cost of living, and "to limit unjustified wage ad justments which would force a break in an established price ceil ing." 8. The last point was to allow government authorization of im mediate study of adequacy of pro duction facilities for materials in critically short supply, and if nec essary, to authorize Government loans for the expansion of pro duction facilities to relieve such shortages and furthermore to au thorize the construction of such facilities directly if action by pri vate industry fails to meet our needs. The President asked the con gress to raise the minimum wage to 75 cents an hour, enact Uni versal Military Training and ap ply the lessons of our Tennessee Valley "experience" to other rier basins in the nation. He repeated other civil rights proposals which won him the enmity of Southern Democrats in the recent campaign. ,000 Stranded By Blizzard Meanwhile, while the nation listened patiently to its Chief Executive. 8,000 travelers in the Midwest were stranded in one of the most viscious snow storms in many years. Many classrooms reflected the effect of the storm as seats re mained empty due to the absence of many students in the western part of the state. The Nebraska forecast is for clearing skies and continued cold. The bhzzard has blown itself out, but snow continued to drift. All this was good news to the stranded persons who are up to their ears in snow. Bills, Wiseman and Lucas, worked at KOLN during the vacation. Playwright's Matinee will be back with the usual assortment of 15 minute gems taken from originals, by radio students. e There are some very good plays coming up. An original by Helen Piince entitled: "The Ghost and the Politician" will be the lirst production. Other good looking scripts are: "At Home with the Higgins," the story of a "nauseat ingly typical American family." The satire was written by Frank Jacobs. Another is "A Thousand Dollars," by Bob Johnson and "Young Dilemma," by Nancy Porter. For those interested in creative" talent of university stu dents, Playwright's Matinee is the program to listen to. Rumors have it that Edgar Ber gen has put his buddy, Charlie McCarthy, into the mothball chest lor a spell. It seem that Kdear ! is going to tHke a long vacation. He has sent Chai lie's clothes to I the cleaners. Edgar is no dummy , lor taking a vacation! (I'm sorry)
