New German
Club Holds
First Meeting
The first meeting of the newly
formed German club was held
this week. It is sponsored by the
modern language department of
the University.
Jim Hoath, guest speaker of
the evening, spoke on his sum
mer trip to a work camp in
Breman, Germany, one of the old
cities of the Hanseatic league.
His trip was sponsored by the
Danish Red Cross.
Those attending the German
work camp were students, writ
ers, and teachers from many
countries, including Austria, Eng
land, France, and Denmark.
"The purpose of the work
camp," Hoath said, "was to learn
to work together. For three
weeks we lived with thirty other
teachers and students. One week
was devoted to international
week; the remainder of the time
was spent in conferences and
sessions with other people at the
camp."
Meetings were to be held with
members of the German politi
cal parties, but the communist
party was the only one repre
sented. The communists gave
their attitude toward the Ameri
can program in Germany, and
criticized the Marshal plan for
its generosity or lack of gener
osity. A drag on the energies of the
members of the work camp was
noticed by Hoath, for the food
in Germany was only semi-adequate
and under par to insure
good health.

A cup of coffee with a glass of
ice, demitcsses, boston coolers,
and pepper on ice cream are some
of the wierd, but filled orders
that have helped to make the
Union Corn Crib the most popu
lar spot on campus.
Filled to overflowing at nearly
all hours of the day, the Crib
stays open a total of 100 hours
each week to satisfy the requests
(no matter how unusual) of its
student customers.
The most convincing indication
of the Crib's popularity is the
long line of students waiting at
the noon hour or during the
afternoon hours to obtain a va
cant booth.
1400 Customers
It seems that the students just
can't get enough of the place. On
the average, there are 1400 cus
tomers each day, according to
traffic counts.
Forty-one student waiters and
"soda jerks" are employed dur
ing the seven days of each week.
The popular social hub of the
campus is furnished with booths
of bright red duratone and cream
colored tables with crome trim
ming. Large murals painted in 1948
by Betty Aasen, a graduate of
last year, adorn all four walls.
Depicted in each mural is a typi
cal campus scene a pep rally,
football game. Ivy Day, and
others.
New Juke Boxes
Solotone entertainers installed
early this year, replaced the
single jukebox and amplifier.
The "miniature juke boxes" are
provided in each booth and music
may be switched on and off at
will.
Back of the main counter, a
black and white marble fountain
dominates with several large dis
pensers. Probably more interesting in

the Crib, however, are the cus
tomers who inhabit it. In order
to learn more about them and
their quirks waiters were inter
viewed. Although the Crib's menus
feature a full variety of special
ties, including the famous "Corn
crib" sundae, students still in
sist upon peculiar requests and
orders.
Perpetual Strang-e Orders
Back in 1944, waiters would
attempt to comply with such or
ders as raw eggs in a glass, to
mato shakes and raw hamburg
ers; it appears that at present,
students are no different.
One waiter related that he was
once asked to supply a cup of
hot water, so that the customer
might make his own coffee. An
other popular freak is the "pink
lady" which is simply another
name for a cherry green river.
Frequently ordered is a cherry-grapefruit-ade.
Others seem to
prefer ice cream in coffee, while
some will not have anything but
vanilla sundaes (vanilla ice
cream with chocolate sauce). An
other topping in demand for sun
daes is ketchup. Even students
who are still minors can ask
for "beers," expecting and get
ting the root variety.
Coffee, Cokes Tops
Coffees and cokes seem to
dominate the scene now. Iast
year, the Crib won the distinc
tion of selling second highest
number of cokes in Nebraska

Orders
Rising now in the list of hits are
lemonades and orangeades.
Once a waiter was asked
whether the brownies that day
were fresh. When told that they
were, the customer declared that
he didn't want any then, because
he liked them best when very
hard.
Although students seem nui
sances when they order such
peculiar requests or sit singly in
large corner booths, stick their
legs in aisles, or plug the small
creameries with cigarette butts,
waiters would rather work in
the Crib than anywhere else.
They ' claim that students are
humorous and fun to work for.
