Campus Activities Change Little
In Decade of University History
BY NORMA CHUBBUCK
Do campus activities and news
items change much in ten years?
A look at the Daily Nebraskan
files for 1939 and 1949 will show
that changes are quite minor.
A few changes are major how
ever. Campus politics taking the
spotlight this spring are some
what different than the 1939 ver
sion. There were three legal fac
tions on campus then, and the
rallies they held were little short
of stupendous. Sometimes they got
out of hand, and a consequence
was the outlawing of faction ral
lies on the campus. The rally be
fore an election in November re
sulted in the serious injury of a
student, which eventually proved
fatal.
THE ACCIDENT occurred
when the Phi Delts were standing
in front of their house hoping to
prevent a barrage of eggs, such
as had marred the house the year
before. A Phi Delt was the most
seriously injured of the students,
though a number of minor in
juries occurred when the ralliers
ran out of eggs and started using
stones as a substitute.
The fall semester of 1939
started off with a bang, when the
editor of the Rag was suspended
by the Pub board for printing
news which had not been released
by the Editorial and Publicity

I offices. The controversy raged for
lour days; then the editor was re
instated. Later an editorial in the
World Herald defended the right
of the editor to dig up and print
any news concerning University
activities, regardless of the pub
licity releases.
THE OVERPOINTED and in
eligibility bugaboo raised its head
just before the November elec
tions, when the president of the
Student Council was forced to re
sign because of an incomplete re
ceived the semester before.
Then as now the Student Coun
cil was under fire from many di
rections. As a result of the rally
which got out of hand, a bill had
been recommended by the Coun-

Sponsoring 'things' is nothing
new to the Rag. A 'gripe session'
was the method used to try to fos
ter more interest in the university
and to gain a cross-section of gen
eral undergraduate opinion. Ac
cording to Editor Harold Neimann,
the session went over big, with
both students rnd sponsors agree
ing on its success.
News about school was import
ant, too. A December headline
announced that a report showed
the University of Nebraska to be
the 18th largest school in the na
tion, with an enrollment of 6,771.
This came after a spring semester
when the possibility of limiting
enrollment to 5,000 was being
considered by the Regents. The
question arose from a contem
plated reduction in the budget of
the school by the state legislature.

MARY JANE gives the telephone in her
house a real work-out
But we're not worried a bit We know
Mary Jane's telephone is going to keep right
on delivering good service year after year.
Because the Bell System puts a lot of time,
thought, and testing into making telephone
equipment as rugged and trouble-free as
possible.
Tests are constantly under way at the
Bell Telephone Laboratories. There, for
example, new types of telephone instru
ments are put through a school of hard
knocks. Dials and other parts are given
strength and wear tests. Even the bottom
of the telephone set has been designed
and checked to make sure that it will not
scratch or stain furniture.
Such tests on little things as well as on
big things help give you the world's best
telephone service at the lowest possible
cost
