Razors Shave Faces
But Present Problem
A whisker is a whisker is a
whisker.
A whisker is also a three-layered
bunch of cells rooted in a
follicle and cursed by almost all
males above the age of puber
ity. Feeling that the whisker
problem is second only to that of
Bolshevism, the Rag herewith
presents the solution to the prob
lem. "Use a razor!" advises Profes
sor Igor Hakemoff of the Univer
sity's school of barbering.
When asked what kind of a
razor he recommended, Professor
Hakemoff said, "Why, a straight
razor, of course. That type gives
you a full six inches of cutting
edge."
Others interviewed had varied
notions as to what type of razor
was best.
Safety Razors
"I'm old fashioned," said one.
"I prefer a two-edged safety
razor."
Still others preferred the

Information
Requested
Upperclassmen are asked for
their cooperation in giving their
correct addresses, phone num
bers, Lincoln addresses, home
towns, college and year to the
Builders office.
The information is to be used
in the printing of the Student Di
rectory. If you have changed
your address or any of the above
information since last spring
when you registered, please no
tify the office as such.
Only independent students
need send in the information, as
the organized houses have been
contacted.
The dead line for making any

the blank in as yet has been
changed from Saturday, Oct. 7
to Saturday. Oct. 14.
It is imperative that this in

That is the one which goes "zip,
zip, zip poiinngg .... presto,
a new blade!" Last but not least
is the electric razor, the lawn
mower that fits in the palm of
your hand.
"I tried a straight-edged razor
once," says football star Stefan
"Headless horseman" Gooscz
ynski, "but my hand wobbled.
Never again."
"Make mine one of those cute
yellow plastic ones," says co-ed
Hortense Legg. But as a matter
of fact, no one asked her.
Searching for the scientific
view on the whisker situation, a
Rag reporter questioned Testube
Q. Bunsen, third assistant janitor
of the Chemistry Department. He
gives the following advice:
Rules Given
1. To soften the whiskers, use
"Aqua Regia", the well known
liquid hair-remover composed of
equal parts sulfuric and nitric
acid.
2. To obtain that rosy after
shave glow, use a common en
gineer's blowtorch, set for 500
degrees Centigrade.
3. For best cutting results, try
a double-bitted Paul Bunyan axe.
4. And to soothe the face after
shaving (if you have a face left)
use simple axle grease.
As an afterthought, Bunsen
added, "you know, whiskers vary
in diameter from 11500 to 1140
of an inch. Tough little rascals
for their size, aren't they?"
From Professor Drybones Pit
hicanthropus of Morrill hall
comes the interesting note that
flint razors dating back to the
Neolithic period have been un
earthed. Brass hats in the military
science --department - might note
that early Egyptians first out
lawed beards on their soldiers.
They found that the chin spinach
was easily grabbed by enemies
during hand-to-hand fighting.
We sincerely hope that the pre
ceding information will help all
college men make the right de
cision when they have to (1)
make an eight o'clock with stub
ble, or (2) stop for a hasty shave.
Remember, you don't have to
shave. You can always run for
"Whisker King."

Giant Testing Machine Added
To Materials Laboratory
A massive testing machine
with a compressive force of up
to 400,000 pounds has been in
stalled in the materials testing
laboratory of the University en
gineering mechanics department.
Designed by University engi
neering professors, the huge ma
chine was built especially for
Nebraska by a famous locomotive
works in Philadelphia.
The new equipment will greatly
increase research opportunities
and provide students with a
latest-design tool to study.

to Prof. William L. De Baufre,
head of the engineering mechan
ics department in the College of
Engineering and Architecture.
The machine weighs about
75,000 pounds and was trans
ported to Lincoln in two freight
cars. Standing twenty-one feet
high, the new machine will en
able University research engi

other structures, rather than just
samples as has been done hereto
fore. The massive testing head is
raised or lowered on screws by
an electric motor but the com
pression is exerted hydraulically.
The machine can deliver a com
pressive force up to 400.000
pounds. While a huge machine,
it is a sensitive instrument
capable of measuring "loads" as
small as ten pounds.
