Big 7 On TV .
According to news reports, State Senator Tvr
dik of Omaha plans to ask the Legislature to force
the University to televise its home football games
next season.
In a "Monday morning editorial, the Omaha
World-Herald said "Mr. Tvrdik seems to have of the stiffest competition in the country. We
considerable support . . . and his proposal may
prove popular with many TV set owners." The
World-Herald goes on to comment, "If TV should
reduce average attendance at Nebraska games, the
University's presently self-sustaining athletic de
partment might be forced into the red." The
Herald queries, "Is the Legislature prepared to
make up this loss through appropriations?"
If attendance at football games were to de
ditions.
The University has no reason not to comply
with conference rulings. We follow its man
dates on eligibility of athletes, the sanity code,
etc. As a member of the Big Seven we play some

Seven tournaments and track meets. And we
consistently win Big Seven conference cham
pionships in various sports.
Is it not logical that we abide by the wishes
of the conference hierarchy?

As you all know the Ag Exec

what do you say fellow Aggies,

The Ag Union general enter
tainment committee, under the
chairmanship of Jean Holmes, is
going to start sponsoring weekly
discussion topics which will al
ternate between hour dances on
Wednesday afternoons. In other
words, there will be an hour
dance one week and a discussion
the next week.
Topics for these discussions will
be of general Ag college activities
that affect the whole college. For
example, plans are for the first
one to be on the new proposed
"Ag Council."
Plans are in the making now
for the Ag Union activities com
mittee to sponsor a move to co
ordinate the Ag college calendar.
It is hoped to set up a com
mittee composed of members rep
resenting every Ag organization
that sponsors any activity and
this group will set up the cal
endar for the coming year. Of
course, the Ag Exec board will
have the final approval of the
thing before it is sent to the other
approval authorities.
I might mention here that on
Feb. 28, the final ping-pong tour
ney of the year will be played
at the Ag Union. These contest
ants will consist of the winners
of each of the weekly tourna
ments currently being held in the
Ag Union.
Don't forget the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben

Fair Grounds Coliseum March 17.

you fellows to be planning on

Spring is coming with the sing
ing of birds, warm southern
breezes blowing the curl out of
the average coed's hair, thoughts
of love and puddles of mud.
With thoughts of spring like
these, one must have heart, body
and soles One little coed dem
onstrated these qualities when
shd slipped and fell on one of the
numerous mud terraces of city
campus. How would it feel to
sit in the slimy mud; hair straight
from the damp breeze; and watch
your favorite hero casually stroll
by with his buddies?
It's really all in the soles! With
crepe, rubber and leather, falls
come easy. But what's a modern
girl to do? The new stylish
suede shoes have crepe soles.
Saddle shoes are usually coated
with rubber and loafers gener
ally have leather soles. A girl
just isn't safe in these new fash
ioned shoes. The barefoot pio
neer had much surer footing.
Few Solutions
Only two solutions are avail
able for the "down on the mud"
problem. Either wear football or
track shoes, or get rid of the mud.
Both solutions seem highly improbable.
Another aspect of mud in the
springtime, is its affiliation with
thoughts of love. This may be
termed "mud-slinging" in the in
fernal triangle. The best policy
in a situation such as this would
be "Do unto others as they do
unto you." This rule breeds all
kinds of politicians.
Most people aren't plagued by
such extreme problems with mud.
however. Only the most frus
trated get themselves involved in
a love triangle or politics. Many
girls and boys are bothered by
bobby-sock tops and trouser legs
clotted with chocolate colored
mud-dots.
A Daily Occurrence
This isn't a major campus prob
lem usually in the headlines. It's
a daily occurrence with the beau
tiful spring weather. Solutions
for this are vague and generally
stated in lines like "Stay on the
silewalk" or "Watch out for
splashing cars."
Mud has been important in the
past, though. If Sir Walter Ra
leigh hadn't laid his coat in the
mud for Queen Elizabeth, he
might never have made the pages
of the history books.
The Russians might never have
won the battle against Napoleon
if they hadn't been so adept in
muddy conditions and Napoleon

Advice to 20-Year-Olds, or
Don't Forget a Birth Certificate
By Mary Iou Luther
If you were born after February, 1930, it won't
be long before you can:
(1) Exercise your voting franchise.
If your birthday comes before June, now is
the time for you to audit Polly Sigh I. (You
can't add the course because of the Feb. 17
deadline.)
Here you will learn that when you go to the
polls it won't be like those democratic elections
in college where every quarter purchased a ballot
and the richest party always won.
You have to wait 21 years for this ballot
(Union service is better) and even after four years
of practical ballot-stuffing: experience you find
yourself handicapped. The faction forgot to tell
you how to vote!
After struggling through the ballot from Aus-
Professors Typed, Classified:
Which Ones Do You Have?
Krprintrd from ih, thing. He is my favorite because
(Kditor'n notr:
Kan Citato lollrgiiui
How many times have stu
dents classified and typed their
various professors? I haven't got
the statistics on the matter, but
I don't doubt the total is a stag
gering sum. (Have you ever seen
a sum stagger?)
First, there is the' common
garden variety: the This-is-Ob-
viously-the-Only-Course - You
Are - Takinc-or-at - Least - the
tralia (you asked for an American ballot, byZ1
there seemed to be nothing left but the Australian
kind) you are amazed at the candidates' lack of
foresight. They forgot to include their affilia
tions! Those 21-year-old pledges know the Greek
alphabet, but they'll never be able to recognize
a name. (One of the shortcomings of a college
education but think of the votes wasted.)
(2) Get married without your parents' con
sent. Think twice before you marry that Fizz Ed
major. He does have a well-developed physique,
but calisthenics before breakfast can prove tiring-.
Maybe your parents were right when they ob
jected to his second stomach what with this food
rationing scare and all.

means that you spend three
fourths of the class time listening
to stuff you learned last semester

The Iowa State Daily recently
reported that student reaction to
the draft had been "much differ
ent than many people expected."
"The students have taken the
situation into hand," claims the
Daily, "they have made deci
sions" According to the paper, the stu
dents have learned to adjust
their study habits, their plans for
the future, and have buckled
down to face the situation
"straight in the eye," despite the
strain of war hysteria.
'Don't Care Attitude
According to the Daily, mid
western and southern colleges
alike were suffering from "don't
care anymore" and disillusioned
outlooks. They have also received
reports from many colleges
dents being lost to the services.
"The Iowa State College cam
pus remained relatively quiet,"
observes the Daily. "Students at
this midwestern college weren't
influenced toward apathy and
pessimism by the current crisis as
was reported by other colleges
and universities."
It also maintains, "The major
ity of students and faculty of
Iowa State responded calmly and
optimistically to the possibility of
the United States sliding into an
other World War."
Low Grade Decrease
To follow up this observation,
the Daily reported that there was
an actual decrease in mid-term
grades of "D" and "F" reported
for the winter quarter in com
parison to previous quarters. It
pointed to the plight of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma where, in
Y story of Srt. Zack of the U. S. iBfa.fr. . . .

contrast, 46 percent of the stu
dents were reported to have come
through with grades of "D" or
"F" after mid-semester exami
nations. A Member of the Iowa State
scholarship committee was quoted
as saying, "It seems students here
are taking things a bit more seri
ously than at other colleges. They
want to keep a good record in
college, so that when they do
come back they will have no
trouble re-entering. They are al
so keeping their grades up so that
they may have a better chance
of taking advantage of any new
favorable draft regulations."
