More or Less Social . . .
Needed: More social activities.
This seems to be the opinion of many, relating the prob
lem of poor politics, bad grades, low student morale and
sundry other campus troubles to this one problem which
needs a solution. Students do not feel the unity in their
University because this University does not supply them
with enough to do. More social activities would present the
tonic needed for these various symptoms of trouble.
What many do not realize is that at the very time they
are proposing this as a cure-all, many social activities that
are planned for the express purpose of student entertain
ment and relaxation are in want of students who will pa
tronize them. Meanwhile, rampus-ites converge upon Lin
coln entertainment enterpses each weekend and even dur
ing the week, still complaining that "there is nothing to do
around here."
To help out with what may be a problem of wrong distri
bution due to little information as to what is offered, The
Daily Nebraskan will start a series of articles on social ac
tivities available on the Nebraska campus. To avoid making
this another list of articles to be used when the Rag is short
on copy, the cooperation and suggestions of all organizations
who sponsor social affairs will be needed. The series will
include general groupings of organizations, such as the
Unions, barb groups, Greek groups and honoraries and the
attempts made by each to provide entertainment and good
times for college students.
Note the articles and remember the functions that are
offered for social purposes the next time you are tempted
to say "there's nothing to do around here."

UNESCO Hits the Road . . .
The National UNESCO office in New York has extended
an invitation to Chancellor Gustavson to send delegates
from Nebraska to the national conference. The conference
will be held in Cleveland in the latter part of March.
A friend of the UNESCO project has contributed 100 dol
lars, approximately the amount necessary to send one dele
gate to the conference. The Nebraska UNESCO program
would benefit greatly if one or more additional delegates
were able to attend. To provide funds for additional repre
sentatives, UNESCO leaders have requested that each or
ganized house contribute at least five dollars.
No one can deny the outstanding work of UNESCO at
Nebraska. The UNESCO conference held in February placed
the University in a position of leadership in UNESCO work
among American colleges. It provided the campus with an
understanding of the general operation of the international
education organization. Attendance of an adequate Nebras
ka delegation at the national conference would help in the
job of carrying on the UNESCO program at Nebraska and
would promote the interest of other university delegates at
tending the conference.
The Nebraska representatives will report to the national
assembly about the Nebraska conference. Not only will they
bring back general information about UNESCO, but they
will also be able to provide constructive suggestions and
plans for future Nebraska UNESCO undertakings. Having
viewed the great strides made by UNESCO at Nebraska, we
realize that we must back it in continuing its work. It is a
project for which we are justified in being proud. It is a
project to which we can look for progress in the future. No
program could be more worthy of our active support.

What he termed "trouble mak
ers" were denounced by Presi
dent Truman in an address to the
United States Conference of
Mayors in Washington. The pres
ident stated that Congress and he
were working very much together
for the good of the country.
The troublemakers were de
fined as the ones who talk of dis
agreement and dissention between
Congress and the President. And
the talk they have stirred up has
been rankling Truman to a high
degree. It looks like Truman has
declared "open war" on these so
called troublemakers.
THE MONEY situation in Ger
many reached its climax Sun

Western Berlin. Brewing for a
long time, this move now defi

own currency.

Student Health
Services Grow
Since Opening
In the years since the Student
Health center opened, 23,703 cases
have been treated through its
clinic. Figured on a basis of aver
ages, that's about two visits per
student during the time.
That's taking care of a lot of
people! The two-story war sur
plus officers' barracks, which is
the center's temporary location,
frequently bulges at the seams.
THERE HAS been a general in
crease during the year in the
number of pOple who use the
center, according to Dr. Samuel
I. Fuenning, director. Busiest
month at the clinic thus far was
May, 1948, when 3,342 cases, an
average of nearly 140 a day. were
treated. Last October was second
high in number of students ask-
ng medical attention. Most of the
patients receive upper respiratory,
orthopedic or minor surgical
treatment.
The 22 bed hospital on the sec
ond floor was used for 538 per
sons, who spent a total of 1,637
patient days there during the
year. It accommodates University
students whose illnesses cannot be
best treated at dorms or rooming
nouses, in addition, it provides a
convalescing place for patients
who have had operations at other
hospitals.
THE ENTIRE health program,
with the exception of physical
exams for intramural participa
tion and Teachers college, is vol
untary. Students, however, are
urged to make use of its many
advantages.
Dr. Fuenning stresses the fact
that, while no house calls can be
made, students may call or come
to the center in an emergency at
any time.
From a small office in the
pharmacy building, with several
doctors oflering service alter
nately through the day. the Stu
dent Health center has grown to
its present size. There are now
three full time doctors, 12 visit
ing specialists and six consultants.
An X-ray and a diagnostic lab
oratory are vital parts of the
modern equipment in daily use.

'Royalty Razz9
Rates Herald
Feature Page
-Rag Razzes Rash of NU Roy
alty." Thus the Omaha World-Herald
magazine headlined a two-page
feature round-up of Nebraska
University queens, Sundav, March
20. ,
Revealing that the campus con
fers about 40 female titles yearly,
the article featured the recent
Daily Nebraskan freshman beauty
contest, a satire on the numerous
queen honors of the University.
THE WORLD-HERALD called
Honorary Colonel, Goddess of
Agriculture and May Queen "the
most coveted titles on the campus,
according to students."
The two-page article told the
story of the Rag's search for the
freshman beauty, including the
campus paper's comments that no
prizes would be given the winner
or that she needed neither box
tops nor affiliation, etc., to win.
Ed. Note: The following: is a
reprint from THE DAILY NE
BRASKAN, Saturday, Oct. 1,
1912.
The cold, rainy days of early
autumn seem to have little effect
upon the beautiful finery of the
coed. Verily, Solomon in all his
glory is not arrayed like one of
these. The gaily bedecked throngs
of beautiful maidens passing to
and fro from the various build
ings help us to forget the auster
ity of the grim old institution and
the dull, monotonous grind of
study.
THAT TALL, stately blonde
with the beautiful Parisian coif
fure is made all the more radiant
by the rich, warm red of a Nor
folk jacket. The brunette just de
scending the library steps is quite
bewitching in a large black pic
ture hat with a "stick-up" on it,
and she is robed in a deep blue
Mackinaw. A number of fussers
seated upon the steps are awe-'
stricken by the appearance of this
goddess from above and fail to
recognize in her an old acquaint
ance. A bluejay in the Linden
iree falls to the ground, dead, as
she passes, his heart eaten out
with jealousy.
"Oh, Constance, isn't that taupe
'.ailorcd suit that Genevieve is
wearing the dearest you ever
saw?"
"YES. BUT I don't believe I
like it as well as that peachy
brown one that Beatrice has."
"Oh, well, Bee's looks better on
her because she has a better com
plexion, and she wears her hair
in a psyche knot."
Ye Gods! how women's styles
change! Will we poor men ever
become accustomed to them? We
had just begun to understand the
peplin of last summer when you
began wearing the Mackinaw.
That was "the mast unkindest
cut of all," to 10b us of the only
beautiful coats we ever wore!
IT IS IN the library, however
where we have the opportunity
of observing the young ladies at
their best, if you have occasion
to go there to er study, of
course. Typical conversation be
tween two young men who im
agine themselves well posted on
the late styles:
"Say, Harold, do you see that
girl over there in the coral
waist?"
"Sure."
"Well, I'll bet a hundred dol
lars her hair is done into that new
perpetual wave effect I've been
reading about. They say it costs
twenty-five bucks to have one
fixed up at a hairdresser's, and
you have to sit still six hours to
have it done."
"IT CAN'T be did. No girl can
Bit still that long!"
(Righteous indignation on the
part of the ladies.)
Honest, it appalls to attempt to
desciibe further the hats, gowns
and other adornments our coeds
vear. The fair damsels appear to
be constant'y watching for a
"young Lochinvar to rome out of
the West" (apologies to Miss
Howell). We fellows in our last
winter's "hand-me-down" blue
serges feel simply outclassed,
(hat's all. Is it any wonder that
o many of us (?) are forced to
heroine students instead of
'ussers?
