'Daily' Mistake
Confuses Names
Of History Profs
The Daily Nebraskan wishes to
apologize for an error in the Fri
day issue. A front page story mis
takenly said "E. N. Anderson
Contributes to Cornell Book," The
professor who contri6uted to the
book on Freedom was E. N. John
son, professor of history, not E. N.
Anderson, who is also on the his
tory faculty.
Dr. Johnson is the author of an
essay in a volume entitled "Free
dom and the University," recently
published by the Cornell Univer
sity press. The book is based on a
series of lectures given at Cornell
in 1949 on "America's Freedom
and Responsibility in the Con
temporary Crisis."
Again the Daily Nebraskan
wishes to apologize both to Pro
fessor Johnson and Professor An
derson. Post-Session
Will Start
Saturday
. Classes will end Friday, July
28 for the 1950 Summer Session
eight-week courses. This will con
clude the 1949-50 academic year
for the University, except for one
course which will be offered dur
ing the post-session, July 29 to
Aug. 16.
Students and faculty will re
turn in the fall to begin' classes
on Sept. 14. Registration for next
fall will take place on Sept. 11, 12
and 13 for students who did not
arrange classes in the early regis
tration period last spring. Guid
ance and counseling exams for
new students under junior stand
ing will be held Sept. 7 and 8.
The post-session this year will
run from July 29 to Aug. 16. Only
one course is being offered. "Per

the topic of the class which is of
fered for the benefit of teachers
who must have it for renewal of
teaching certificates.
Offered through the college of
Pharmacy, the course will be un
der the direction of Donald M.
Pace, professor of physiology. The
course is being offered for two
and one-half weeks this year, as
compared with the usual length of
only two weeks.
1873 Lover Kissed Girl
Only if Ring Came First
Love making in 1873 was never
called orange peeling or pitching
woo. The heriones in Godey's
Ladies Book kissed the hero only
after a sparkling solitaire rested
on her lily white hand, and then
thaperones flittered in the back
ground. Yet sometimes women did the
pursuing, perhaps subtly, yet
with results. Here is a quote of
one fellow's thoughts in a story
titled "Bessie's Wooing." "I will
be on my guard and not to be led
like a bird to the snake. One
eVening found her in my arms
my betrothed. I had yielded
she had won."
Grandma Gold Digger
If the modern girl is -called a
"gold-digger," she can place the
blame on her ancestors. One dis
couraged Journalist in this
.yellowed magazine said, "Ob--serve
our modern girlhood . . .
With her there is no feeling, or
at least no expression of love. If
she marries, it must be under
no such foolish i("ea. Magnificent
Jupiter, where can be found a
woman oX heart?"
'SO Degrees Total

The University of Nebraska will confer 481 degrees to

Bridge Tourney
Winners Told
Mrs. H. R. Partridge, Alliance,
was the winner of the 1950 Sum
mer Bridge Tournament, Wednes
day, July 19 with a score of 1640.
The tournament, sponsored by the
Union, was held at the close of the
Bridge Instruction Series.
Instructor and Tournament Di
rector was William B. Tyson, who
is resigning as Union Bridge In
structor, after a year and two
Summer Sessions to start upon his
law career. Tyson passed the Ne
braska Bar examination in June,
having received his LLB the same
month.
Second place winner was Oneta
Holmes, and third place was taken
by Mildred Schwengle. Their
scores were 1250 and 1180, re
spectively. When mothers arranged love
matches, they expected their
daughters to take the news with
joy as can be seen by this dialog:
"If you let Saxon slip your net,
it s a gone case with you matri
ninniall v Pomtpc mnv Vw pvpiis-
ed in a colt, but when a nag
reaches your age, we look lor
steady going. I mean to be master.

won't knuckle under to my rules
may quit."

advice to readers this journalist
of '73 declared, "Slip no longer,

Frankie who play the horses m

they meet Erwin Trowbridge who
has the uncanny ability to pick
the wincing- horses. A business
agreement is worked out between
the four and Erwin is talked into
being a continuous source of in
formation. Erwin begins to spend a lot of
time in the bar and begins to
drink too much. He disappears
from his home and office and is

of action Erwin decides to go back

company and promises that he
will continue giving Patsy,
Frankie and Charley the daily
dope on the horses.
