EDITORIAL COMMENT
She Long Wait. .
A headline in a recent Daily Nebraskan reported:
"Long Awaited Directory Out Today." We would like to
echo a fervent Amen to this statement, at least to the
"long awaited" part. Students have been anticipating
signs of the Student Directory distribution since Novem
ber and were made to wait until the first semester was
almost over.
There is no doubt that publishing the Student Direc
tory is a valuable student service. .The University is a
large one and finding a person among all the student
houses and the numerous apartment throughout Lincoln
is no easy task. What particularly makes such a book
almost a necessity is the very evident lack of another
source of student information. The Registrar's office has
been swamped with calls for student addresses and tele
phone numbers. Especially around the busy registration
time, this office is in no position to serve as an informa
tion bureau, and further, should not be made to do so.
Aside from the administration building, there is no other
place which can give adequate student information.
A Directory that appears on campus at the end of
the first semester is only going to do half the job that
it was intended to do. Its purpose is cut 50 per cent by
this late distribution. Since first semester activities, such
as football, migrations and hour dances, demand greater
needs for the Directory than does the second term, it is
possible the Directory's utility diminishes further.
The Student Directory's sponsor, the Nebraska Build
ers,' have initiated several new projects this year. Assum
ing that each program has been worthwhile it can be
concluded that the Builders are doing tremendous service
to the University. But in contracting additional burdens,
the organization may be forced to neglect their basic
services, such as the Directory. Whether more time
should be spent on the publication or new projects sac
rificed for it, doesn't matter. It is evident that something
must be done to correct the situation.
This problem is not new to the campus. A late Di
rectory has existed for several years, but! each year, dis
tribution has been postponed longer. The present organi
zation of Builders should take steps to prevent a similar
problem next year. Possibly they may do it in one or
more of these ways:
1. Devise some means by which, a complete regis
tration list can be obtained. This year's system of taking
the names from religious houses resulted in a complete
omittance of one segment of the student population.
2. If it is necessary to pay the $150 for the IBM
lists then it should be done and the extra money figured
in the budget for next year. This additional expense would
be worthwhile to the organization if it would enable them
to publish a November Directory.
3. New projects should not interfere with the pub
lication of the Student Directory.
4. If the Builders cannot find a way to publish the
Directory early or find it "a bother," then the work
should be given to another organization.
Whatever is done, we hope the present organization
will take the necessary steps to insure an early Directory,
not only next year but in the years to come.

run the registration procedure Is
unofficially named the assign
ment committee. It is composed
of house-wives, most of whom
are faculty wives, administration
officials and instructors.
In 1946 when Dr. Hoover took
over the registration duties, the
procedure took from four to six
weeks.
By constant attention to effi
ciency problems, student com
plaints, and new methods of reg
istration the process has been
shortened to less than a week
in 1951.
Registration is carried on be
fore each semester stars and pre
ceding the summer school ses
sions. Registration fees must be
paid from Jan. 22 to 24, alpha
betically: Jan. 22, A to H; Jan.
23, I to Q; and Jan. 24, R to Z.
Classes for the second semester
will begin Monday, Jan. 29.
Registration Procedure
Registration procedure this se
mester was carried on in the fol
lowing way:
Students secured appointments
with their advisors and worked
out their schedule. One copy of
the schedule was left with the
advisor and one copy was used
at registration.
Numbers to be used for regis
tration dates were picked up and
then posted in front of the Mili
tary and Naval Science building.
When the student's number was
posted he took his worksheet and
number and started through reg
istration. Upon presentation of the num
ber at the door of the Military
and Naval Science building, the
student received his University
name card and used this as iden
tification for pulling his class
cards. Five copy blank sched
ules were then filled out and all
of the gathered material was
turned in to a clearing desk.

At the Delta Gamma house,
Jean Van Auken, a pledge, had
to stand up and give ten reasons
for her engagement to Duane

song titles.
The couple is Jo Hansen and
Dean Dilkinger.

June.
Home for Christmas vacation,
Ken Fisher gave his Phi Delt pin

last spring for several reasons:
J. The Union fee is worth less
than 50 per cent of what it was
in 1938, but enrollment is only
30 per cent above pre-war levels.
2. The present fee has not been
increased since 1938 and the
present fee is less than other col
lege Unions and does not allow
for reserves or a fixed schedule
of capital improvements.
"There is no promise that the
Union addition can be built un
til after the present world situa
tion has cleared up a bit," says
Lake.
The University had previously
hoped to begin construction on
the addition in the summer of
1951.
NPA Ruling
However, a definite ruling
from the NPA has not been is
sued as yet. The rule now in
force is not a blanket ruling, but
recreational facilities are pro
hibited. "If the University decided to
take on a major feeding program
or another service project, as in
the last war, the new addition
could probably be built because
the national emergency would
demand it," Lake said.
Thus far, no contracts for the
new addition have been let. Al
though the consulting architect
for the Association of College
Unions, Michael Hare, visited the
University campus last summer,
no contracts have been let for
plans.
Hare, of the firm Hare and
Elder, has, in the past year
drawn up plans for Union build-

Tickets for the ball are $2.50
and will be distributed through
the social chairman of each fra
ternity. science when called to the armed
forces' a month ago.
Mary Russell, a junior Kappa,
received a ring for Christmas
from Ted O'Shea, a senior Sigma
Chi.
.
Many get-togethers were held
after the Alpha Chi formal last
week-end. Kathy Schrieber and
Jean Hyland both gave after-the-party
parties.
Miss Schreiber's date was Job

was Jim Cox. Some of the cou
ples at the formal and parties
were Claire Smith and Chuck
Bressman, Jean Stevens and Sid
McVicker, Joe Owen and Leo
Geier, and Jean Caha and Don
Wells.
The Sigma Kappa's also had a
formal party last Friday.
Among those present were Bet
ty Bedell and Dick Beatty, Liz
Olso and Dick Dunnick, Pauline
Harmann and Milt Hoffman, and
Bunny Haddix and John Greg
ory. Harriet Salter passed suckers
at the dance to announce her en
gagement to Gordon Francis.
Last Wednesday night, Rose
anna Locke announced her en
gagement to Phillip Peschy.
Miss Locke is a member of Sig
ma Delta Tau at the University,
and Peschy is a student at Stan
ford. The wedding of Betty Beckner
and Roy Walker is being planned
for Easter.
Fees
Washington State university,
University of Oregon, the Uni
versity of Arizona and Southern
Methodist university.
Hare's best-known piece of
college architecture is the Union
which he designed at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin which has
what is believed to be the top
theater arrangement in the
country.
Taken from Poll
According to estimates by
Hare and by Union officials on
the basis of facilities asked by
students in a student poll last
spring, the new addition would
cost somewhere in the neighbor
hood of $485,860.
This figure includes the costs
of equipping the addition with
eight bowling alleys and what
it would cost to build a new
Crib.
The $485,860 estimate is a pre
liminary figure and is based
partly on the operating experi
ence by Union management and
on the poll.
Money to finance the new ad
dition will probably not begin
building up until 1952. But after
1952, since other obligations will
have been paid off, a substantial
amount each year may possibly i
be placed in a "new addition ;
building fund." i
However, Lake points out that
no funds from the fee increase
have been spent in the food serv
ice department.
"This division of the Union is
self-sufficient, and the fees do
not affect this service at all,"
Lake explains.

general appearance and atti
tude. Inspection Period
After a ten minute torturous
period of inspection by the
"rough . and ready" Alpha Phi
house manager, who was great
ly "peeved" when the boys gave
unauthentic names, they were
allowed to eat dinner.
One boy commented, "We feed
that stuff to the cat," upon see
ing the dinner menu and was
quickly put up in front of the
actives for a "little entertain
ment." Several ATO pledges, with a
few disgruntled comments, will
ingly bused. One dark-headed
lad in his ROTC uniform an
swered with a few sarcastic re
marks to an active's "Hey ser
geant, this table wants a little
service." Two other boys spent
the evening answering phone
calls and doorbell rings.
The ATO's provided the eve
ning's entertainment. The "Chi
cago tribe" did the Charleston,
one boy gave the girls his fa
mous ape act, and another imi
tated ATO actives.
One emparrassed boy had to
propose to a Phi pledge. Others
were pleased to find that they
had to "pass oranges" with sev
eral girls. Two boys made "mad
love" to each other while they
danced to the romantic music
of an ATO's piano rendition of
Chopin's "Polinaise."
ATO Leg Show
The evening's entertainment
was highlighted when, after
gracefully parading and showing
their legs to Alpha Phi actives,
the ATO pledge class president
was chosen "King of the Tall
Pledges." He was further hon
ored by the girls' version of a
traditional Alpha Phi song which
was somewhat changed to "We
Wish We Had a Boy Like You
For Alpha Phi."
Several pledges managed to
get out of the house unnoticed,
but others were forced to do the
dishes. Under the supervision
of the house manager and her
Assistant, the pledges from both
houses finally managed to fin
ish the work with a few water
fights as a sideline.
Tired but amused, the ATO
pledges managed to stagger back
to their houses and report their
evening's work-out to their ac
tives, who thought the whole
affair a huge joke. What an
evening!

Pledges In
Don't Always Study'
"You! Get back to work. Let's
don't have any loafing. And shut
up! You know we don't allow any
talking."
Does this sound like the cruel,
relentless' harping of a slave
driver? Relax, it's not. But it's
something worse. It's a sorority
active vainly trying to make the
pledges study. (The word study
is used loosely).
Each organized house on cam
pus has ditferent rules in regard
to this, but they are all aimed
toward one purpose to force the
pledges to study. This in turn,
is supposed to insure the pledges
of not only making their average
for initiation, but also bringing
scholastic honor to their sorority
or fraternity;
'Religious' Coeds
For instance, several houses
on campus require their pledges
to spend every weekday evening
at the house. Of course, anyone
with a logical reason may be ex
cused. This is where the fun
comes in. Meetings, classes, den
tist appointments and even
church services occur with aston
ishing frequency for pledges at
those particular houses. The re
sourceful pledges will try almost
anything to avoid the agonizing
boredom of study halls.
Take for example Suzie Flut
ter, who is an expert at invent
ing excuses for getting out of
studying. First she tells the ac
tive in charge that she has a very
important meeting. (Of course,
she neglects to mention that her
boyfriend is going to the same
"meeting," to be held at a down
town theater).
If that doesn't woi'., Suzie
might be heard to say, "I'm on
the clean-up committee for the
Military Ball, and I promised I'd
help them out' tonight." The sec
ond attempt is usually unsuc
cessful also even actives aren't
that dumb, but Suzie shows no
signs of giving up. Her motto is,
"If at first you don't succeed,
lie, lie again."
Dying: Uncles.
She then invents a sad, sad
story about her rich dying uncle
in Lincoln, who "might leave
some money to the sorority if
I go see him tonight." If the
actives still refuse to excuse her,
Suzie shows up without any
books. She then politely offers to
go to the "library" to study The
actives just can't win.
Some of the more lenient
houses on campus allow their
pledges to study at the library
instead of the house. This, of

course, is a "big mistake. Any
resemblance between the library
table where the girls study and a
real study table is purely laugh
able. It comes closer to resem
bling a tea table. Everything is '
discussed in high pitched whisp
ers except academic subjects.
This includes everything from the
latest campus romance to the
last basketball game or the
"simply fabulous movie I saw
last night when I was out with
Bob."
When they have lost their
voices from so much whisper
ing, orie might think that the
girls would then be forced to
study.' But this is regrettably
not the case. Instead, they gaza
dreamily into space and lazily
tap their pencils on the table
until the study period is over.
She is certain, naturally, that
they won't call again for at least
a week. Smart gals, these pledges.
After a poll of a group of
these clever pledges, it has been
determined that the best, safest
and most fool proof method of
getting out of study halls is to
get high grades. But after all, the
other ways are so much more f
fun!
