Males only!
The Union might as well have
hung that sign in the area sur
rounding the radio in the north
east corner of the lounge dur
ing the World Series games last
week.
Every available chair and
chair arm is being used by a
man who is listening attentively
as the reports of the Yankee
Phillies game come in over the
radio.
Take for instance the game
last Friday. In the bottom of the
eighth inning the Phillies are
leading 2 to 1.
Throughout the area, expect
ant silence prevails. The Yan
kee fans can be distinguished by
the look of despair on their faces.
The Phillies fans have smiles
around the edge of their mouths.

As Students
Form First
Soil Society
The first student chapter of the
Soil Conservation Society of
America in the United States
was organized last week on Ag
campus.
Keith Young was elected chair
man of the group. He is the son
of Gladwyn Young, coordinator
for all the agricultural phases of
the Missouri basin development.
Other officers elected were:
Bill Reinsch, vice-chairman; Don
Hovendick, secretary-treasurer;
and Phillip Vrana as the student
member of the governing board.
The student chapter drew up a
constitution patterned after other
departmental clubs on Ag cam
pus. This constitution must first
be approved by the Ag Exec
board before it is sent to the
Student Council for ratification.
Then it must be forwarded to the
national chapter for further ap
proval. To Speed Action
According to Dr. R. P. Matel
ski, sponsor of the group, it is
hoped that these actions may be
speeded up so that the student
chapter can be approved by the
national chapter at its meeting
to be held the latter part of
October.
Dr. Matelski pointed out that
membership is still open to quali
fied candidates and students hav
ing interest in soil conservation.
He said that no lines are drawn
except for interest and an active
participation in the club.
Members
Membership in the student
chapter includes: Frank V. An
derson, Melvin Argabright, Har
lan Baker, William Bish, Dale
Bush, Gordon Cisney, Richard
Curley, Clinton Curry, Arnold
Davis, Reid Dickerson, John

State Merit
System Seeks
More Workers
Announcements have been re
leased by the Nebraska Merit
System to recruit additional pro
fessional and technical workers
in the Welfare, Employment Se
curity and Health Departments.
According to Arthur W. Pend
ray, Merit System Director, an
attempt is being made to inter
est new groups of people in
career jobs with the State agen
cies. In addition, there is a need
for finding replacements for
those who are promoted, resign
or are called into government
service.
The Social Security program
to provide a category of assist
ance for totally and permanently
disabled, has been broadened.
While there is little information
availabie as to the number of
persons who will be eligible for
benefits under this program, it
is believed that additional per
sonnel may be needed.
A new procedure in the Claims
Department of the State Employ
ment agency will necessitate the
hiring of temporary agents dur
in thP months of December.
January, February and March.
Technical and professional work
ers are in demand in the Health
Department too, in the State
Laboratory, in the sanitation pro- :
gram of the local health units
and in many other phases of
Public Health.
Specific information relative
to vacancies, qualifications and j
other information may be ob- :

Lucky Strike
Asks for Jingles
As a part of a new advertising
campaign by Lucky Strike cigar- !
ettes, 25 dollars is being offered j
to anyone writing an acceptible j
four-line jingle on campus char

girl cheerleader who lends a yell

Any college student Is eligible

divided attention from ihe mem
bers of his basket weaving 103
class.
During station breaks a few
conscientious students are scrib
bling notes on a piece of paper
or reading.
Assorted groans and cheers
arose from the listeners as an
error on a fly ball let in the
tying Yarikee run.
The traffic in and out of the
lounge increases as classes are
over about 2 p.m. A few hardy
souls mutter, listen for a few
minutes, and then with the airs
of true martyrs gather up their
books and amble out of the
Union. They must be going to
classes. Ah such fortitude!
To these ardent fans, this
Series is the all-important event
of the moment. Every face is
turned towards the radio, every
muscle alert.
No one looks where he is sit
ting just unconsciously drops
into a chair or onto the floor.
Strange Motions
It is during a crucial moment
that ash trays seem the hardest
to find. An arm waving around
wildly just indicates that the
listener is groping for a place to
put a cigarette without missing
a word or a minute of the play.
Over in the far part of the
lounge from the NE corner a
group of girls are chatting and
completely ignoring the game.
Their faces indicate the dif
ference in attitude towards the
series that exists between men
and women.
Not much distinction can be
drawn between those fans with
their eyes closed and those who
are staring. They're all asleep
to everything Put the 2-2 tie
between the Yanks and the Phil
lies. Bottom of the ninth and the
do-or-die fans are getting rest
less. Whether they're all anxi
ous to get to- a 3 o'clock class,
or to meet that new freshman
for a coke, or just to have the
game over.
Groans and cheers again fill
the air at the conclusion of the;
game with the Yanks winning
their third series game.
The fans suddenly come to
life, pull themselves out of their
soft chairs and walk out of the
lounge arguing, or should we say
discussing, the World Series.
