The Class of 1950 is the largest in the history of the University of Nebraska. Students, faculty members and eveyone connected with the University tip their hats to the Class of '50 . . . they deserve it. They have worked four long and tedious years in order to walk down the aisle and receive tneir degrees. Graduate students have engaged in intellectual gymnastics for an even longer period- Yes, the students have worked hard. But how many of the 1.800 who will be graduated this year would have been able to attend the University for the G. I. Bill of Rights? When Congress passed the G.L Bill it showed the vet eran that the United States government was grateful for his war effort. This bill was the most liberal, the most bene ficial act ever passed by any governing body, in any coun try and at any time in history. Now our nation is feeling the fruits of the G. I. Bill Thousands of graduating students are better citizens be cause of it. Their mental homes are equipped with intel lectual furniture which will in which to live. When the influence of present G. I. generation is fully felt by the world, perhaps the cold war will be fought with antihistamine instead of hatred. Reprinted in part from The Kansas State Collegian. Editorial Briefs The name Leo Geier has to University of Nebraska honors, Geier has added tnat oi outstanding journan&m senior of 1949-'50. Not far behind him are six other graduating seniors, Nancy Sayre Norton, Dean Ter rill, Edmund Bruce, Emily Heine, Khalid Roashan and Elizabeth Schneider, who also were honored for scholar-j Bhip at the annual journalism banquet. If grades are an indicator for success, and they do seem to form a sound basis for the future, these journalists are bound to rise in their field, and the press world will be better off with them in its ranks. Debussy fans will find year in store for them when .... . . . present tneir recital ot nis music, open to an stuaents ana faculty members, the program will contain some of the finest interpretations of Debussy to be heard on the cam pus this year. The list of outstanding awards presented to students at the anual Pharmacy college banquet proves that this college is no place for loafers. The individuals honored at this occasion can well afford to boast a little over their college careers, whether they are freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors or graduate students. This recognition marks them out as students to make the most of them "Grades don't mean everything" almost has become fthe life-directing axiom of numerous college students. Although in many cases it represents a tidy little way of rationalizing sickly looking grade records, and while in most other cases it seems to have a great deal of the truth behind it, some students can testify to the import ance of good marks. Such a student is Eugene Robinson. Robinson began his outstanding career as one of the Ag freshmen to receive a Sears-Roebuck scholarship last year. And now, he has been selected along with nine other top sophomores in the United States to compete for a junior senior scholarship, offered by the same foundation. To Robinson, grades have meant something. We wish him suc cess in the competition which he is entering. . Every now and then we hear a few seniors com plaining about not being able to find jobs. Probably one place they haven't looked is right in their own back yard. The University occupational placement committee, just for the asking, will help students find jobs in most any field. The committee has recently announced a new list of oc cupational oportunities and stands waiting to lend its serv ices to job seekers. All we ask is to see the decisions. We realize that instructors nave naa iar greater experience in their fields than we can hope to have for a good many .years to come. But no mater how bound up in his prejudices an instructor may be, the students feel they isave the right to hear an objective presentation of what's what. We admit that some areas of teaching demand the instructor to present a limited view. But in many cases lie c-pimonizes about his course only because he feels in ternal satisfaction by holding to his view, and his view alone. Talk about freedom of thought and freedom of ed ucation . . . here s where it too easily. There are several little thoughts which eternally crop tip in. The Daily Nebraskan editorial columns. One of them concerns excusrnz superior students from finals. Outstand ing scholars deserve this reward for their efforts. Just a! reminder ... as final week closes down upon us.

We also feel equal to "tackling" the various articles and comments In The Daily Nebraskan, which are not always as well written as they might be. For example, we refer to your review of A School for Scandal," or "SFS," views of Time rather than the not always "brilliant" New Yorker. If your review was intended you are "not yet ready" to write satire. If it was not, then we be lieve that you, who evidently feel capable of writmg for more eminent journals than The Daily Nebraskan, should go see that great "actress" Miss Sharon Fritzler, perform again. After being not quite bored to tears, again, you might write anotner review perhaps even an attempt at brilliant New Yorker reporting. in tms second review, which to the first, you might pay more attention to your writing and less to your parenthetical eloquence. Frankly, we found your first effort "well, let's say distracting," but it was an admirable attempt. xou will surely have the courtesy to spell Mr. Sobolik's name correctly, even if the young man arcs ror a "convincing character." cucnes to use in place of "enthusiastic audience," "for my money," "onVrAv'o Minn tU.'-l ' ll i. ... ....... .jja aj. uj. uuiuuiig, - missea tne point," "within the realm of possibility," "for the life of me," "old foggies "no uncertain terms, -oia biddies," "job well done" and "on the whole " These phrases we "frankly found rather upsetting." If you are ambitious, you might even find a better expression to describe "the Dallas Williams standard" and the "Woolworthy costumes," and a better tenience man &ne's an actress, and one that we should like to see quite a few agains." I know that we are not expecting too much in asking you to explain "in no uncertain terms the message Mr. Sheri dan has for us" in his "comedy of manners." We "just plain missed the point."

College men are sexually in feriorthat is the charge leveled against our ivy clad institutions of other kinds of learning, in the July issue of Stag magazine. In an article by authority Mil ton Leekoff, Stag presents the theory backed by scientific fact finding that the non-college man makes the best sex mate probably because of some in definable quality in his makeup. The Daily Nebraskan, after due consideration, question end dis cussion is unable to define this indefinable quality for its read ers. Wive- Seek Release The article continued Also broadly hinted at is the fact that many women, some of them married to college men and col lege grads, realize this inade quacy in their husbands, and have been known to seek release from their enthusiasms else where. "It is undeniaWe fact," says Leekoff, "that collegians do more petting and talking than any other class of men, but when it comes to actual activity, well Is it any wonder," he asks, "they are sexually maladjusted and in ferior and, as a result, make in capable and inefficient hus bands?" Xebraskans' Comments The Daily Nebraskan. ever searching for the truth, decided to get a cross view of campus opinion on these startling state ments. The following are com plete and uncondensed comments by students: Jean Feniter. "Huh." Jerry Bailey: "Quite possibly true, after all how many college men are fathers?" Jack Cohen: "I believe Mr. Lee rofij theories are completely defunct" Emily Heine: "I think I'll so back tu the farm." Jerry Warren: "Try me."

We4aday Al'F sUciUUoi board meet ma mm k BY JOAN KRUEGER "Francis" There are several unusual fea tures about "Francis," starting Tuesday at the Lincoln. First, the main role is taken by a mule, Francis, who has been receiving publicity even to the point of getting into the "News of t h e World," and second, the hero, Don ald O'Connor, does not mar ry the heroine, Patricia Med ina. O'Connor takes the mule, nnd Patricia gets the mili tary clink for a home. The story deals with an army mule which carries Donald, an army lieutenant, to safety when the young officer gets lost from his command and is wounded in a Burma jungle by Jap shellfire. The mule, who is gifted with the ability to talk, tips Donald off to Jap plans several times, resulting in Donald's becoming a hero. But, each time Donald ex plains that a mule tipped him off, the lieutenant is tossed into the psycho ward. Medina, in the role of an axis spy, enters Donald's camp trying to learn how he had successfully thwarted Jap troop and plane movements. "The Capture" Filmed in a Mexican setting, "The Capture," starting Wednes day at the State, offers a com bination of drama, romance and mystery. Lew Ayers and Teresa Wright co-star in the picture. Ayers has the role of the field boss for a small American oil company in Durango, and Miss Wright por trays the unhappy wife of Edwin Rand, a roving oil driller. After a payroll holdup, Rand is accused of the crime and Ayers pursues and kills him. His conscience begins to trou ble him, and he quits his job, seeking out Miss Wright to make amends. Finally, Ayers, deter mined to clear up Rand's guilt or innocence once and for all, becomes involved with another killing and finds himself a fugi tive from the police just as Rand was. "The Outriders" Filmed in Technicolor in Utah, "The Outriders" will be the next attraction at the Stuart. It is the story of three Yankees who es cape from a Missouri prison stockade during the Civil war. Joel McCrea, Barry Sullivan and James Whitmore form the oddly assorted trio who make their es cape only to find themselves pris oners again, this time in the hands of a roving band of guer rillas. In exchange for their lives they agree to help ambush a wagon train carrying gold bul lion. Claude Jarman, jr., loses his life in an act of cowardice in the picture. "Backfire" "Backfire" starts Wednesday at the Nebraska theatre. Virginia Mayo takes the lead role. Gor don MacRae plays opposite Miss Mayo with Edmund O'Brien, Dane Clark, Viveca Lindfors and Richard Robcr filling in the other key roles. The picture is of a man who wants to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding a war buddy's disappearance. The film is against a background of big time gambling, fighting and gun play. In addition there is the love story of a girl friend, played by Miss Mayo, who becomes in volved in the shady machinations of the underworld while trying to help the man she loves. Co-feature is "Hollywood Van ities." Now playing at the Capitol is "Ambush," starring Robert Tay lor, John Hddiok and Arlene Dahl; and "Thelma Jordon," with Barbara Stanwyck in the star rote. Prof Explains College-Type Engagements There are five diffeient types of engagements among college students according to Dr. Ruben Hill. Research professor tt Tu lane university, Dr. Hill de scribes them as follows: "Short-but swet" based on romance and emotion with a "just-can't-wait-to-get - married attitude." It includes an endless round of parties; the main trou ble is that there is little time for the couple to become ac quainted. "Short-but-brittle" begins with promiscous "pinning" and ends with a broken engagement. In between the couple find that they are poor company. "Long-but-separated" car ried on by long distance corres pondence. It is recommended for travelling salesmen, not col lege students.

A beauty queen comes down with the flu. A chemistry student spills acid on his hand. A student develops ulcers from worrying about his final exams. What University facilities are available to help these students? Students with health problems of any sort may come to the Student Health center for medi cal attention. The center was re organized in 1947, under the leadership of Dr. Samuel Fuen ning. The reorganization was based upon a survey of 22 uni versities throughout the country having student health services. Prior to 1947, the University had only two small rooms in the Pharmacy building, with a nurse and a part-time physician. At the present time, the student health facilities occupy Tempor ary Building "D", across from Teacher's college building. The staff includes 10 nurses, three full-time doctors, 17 visiting spe cialists in various fields, and nine consulting physicians, as well as a number of technicians and clerical help. Fee Increase The Board of Regents recently approved a $1.50 increase in tui tion for maintenance of the Stu dent Health center. This in crease, said Dr. Fuenning, will be used to maintain the present standard of health service in the face of declining enrollment. As the number of students de creases, the fees available for Student Health decline also. Fuenning said that every phase of medical activity was offered to students at the University ex oeot pediatrics. "This is done 'hrough 17-Lincoln visiting phy sicians who spend several hours weekly attending students. The aim of the Student Health center, according to Dr. Fuen ning. is to aid the student who is ill or to prevent him from becoming sick at all. This per tains to mental health as well as physical health, he said, because the functions of the mind and body cannot be entirely sepa rated. The main Jobs of Student Health are, however, the giving of enrtance exams to all incom ing students, to provide medical And hospital care for students, to provide sanitary conditions as much 'as is possible, to give pe riodic tuberculosis test to stu dents, and to provide a consul tation service for students on any health problems. 22 Bed Hospital The Health center maintains a 22 bed hospital service for any student who need sustained med ical attention. This includes two rooms for patients with conta gious diseases. During 1948, 421 were cared for in the infirmary, with the number increasing to 544 in 1949. . Each student receives s com plete physical exam before he is allowed to enter the University. These are designed to prevent the spread of any communicable disease a student may have, to discover whether he has any physical disabilities which would prevent him from taking part in phys ed or ROTC classes, and to find out if he has any physi cal delects which could be rem edied. All incoming students are x-rayed and may be immunized against small pox, tetanus, or other communicable diseases. Representatives of the Health center Inspect all University maintained eating and living facilities. As a result of last year's intestinal flue epidemic, the Interfraternity Council re quested that all fraternity kitch ens on the campus be inspected. All Diseases. Fuenning said that during the three years that the service has been in operation, at least one example of nearly every disease Beindorff Wins Avery Fellowship Arthur B. Beindorff was re cently named recipient of the Samuel Avery memorial fellow ship at the University. The award is made annually to an outstanding student of chem istry who is working for his doc tors degree. It carries a stipend of $1,200 plus tuition and labora tor fees. The fellowship was established as a perpetual memorial to the late chancellor, Samuel Avery, for whom the University! chem istry building is named. Beindorff is a 1947 graduata of the University. aclel In thai wottr glan.' had come into the clinic for treatment. Even students with ulcers, he said, had been found. For such cases, Fuenning said, the center maintains a psychia trist as well as medical atten tion. Several years ago, the center discontinued the practice o f making calls at the homes of stu dents. Fuenning said that many of these calls were unnecessary and wasted the time of the doc tors. Any student who is sick may come to Student Health at any time of the day or night, any day of the week including Sun days. If a student is unable to come to the building, Student Health will call a Lincoln phy sician to attend him. Fuenning estimated that dur ing the past year, about 90 per cent of the student -body came in at least orfte. About 25,000 individual visits were made. The student Health center is open throughout the year, with the exception of the month of August, for service to students attending the University. It is af filiated with the School of Med icine at Omaha, and approved by the American Medical assoc iation and the American Hospital association.
