Draft Age
Bill Aimed at 18
Year-Olds Next
The senate rejected the pro
posal to lower the draft age to
18 ',4 years Monday and paved
the way for a senate vote on the
administration's bill to set the
minimum age at 18 years.
The bill, proposed by Senator
Morse (r., Ore.)i was rejected by
a 55 to 31 vote.
At the present time the draft
age is 19 to 26 and has been one
of the most controversial ques
tions in the legislature.
Before the vote was taken
Senator Taft charged Secretary
of Defense Marshall with trying
to "blackjack" congress into
drafting 18-year-olds. He said the
military leader was making an
effort to "stir up the reservists"
by saying that it would be unfair
to them if the younger men were
not called.
Senator Johnson (d., Tex.) said
that the Morse amendment "was
an attempt to tie the military's
hands knowingly and willingly."
The house armed service com
mittee has approved tentatively
the 18-year-old draft, but some
were skeptical about it.
Russia Proposes
German Treaty
At the Big Four foreign min
isters' discussion Monday Russia
proposed a peace treaty with
Germany, withdrawal of allied
troops from the country and re
duction of great powers' armed
forces.
The United States, Britain and
France insist that other major
difficulties must be cleared up
Jirst and have made it clear that
if Russia is not willing to decide
on other problems than the Ger
man treaty, there will be no con
ference. U.S. Amoissador-at-large Phil
lip C. Jessup said that the United
States is not avoiding the east
west problems but that the west
ern powers are determined to get
down to the basic issues. They
will not be side-tracked by any
soviet efforts to blame the sources
of tension on irrelevant matters,
he added.
The three western powers have
agreed in advance to:
1. Act tough in the first stages
of the talks. .
2. Blame the size of the soviet
and satellite forces in Europe for
European tension.
3. Fight any Russian efforts to
limit the conference to discussion
of the rearmament of Germany.
The western powers will try to
maneuver Gromyko into talking
about the causes of east-west ten
sion as well. This is the only
way, they believe, that the west
can tell if Russia is sincere about
settlement or if it is just another
propaganda attempt.
Originally Russia proposed that
the Bits Four conference discuss
the rearmament of Germany as
"the most acute problem for Eu
rope." Seventh Army

About Amendments
Sen. C. C. Lillibridge of Crete
cautioned the legislature Monday
to go slow on the enjtment of
bills which will place constitu
tional amendments before the
voters in 1952.
The senator pointed to nine
guch bills which have been of
fered. The observation came dur

Workshops Open for Teachers
Workshop seminars in educa
tion are open to experienced
teachers of all levels elemen
tary, secondary and college.
It Happened at NU . . .
Three freshman coeds were
talking about their favorite sub
ject as they walked home from
classes. Their favorite subject
was men, but one of the girls
seemed to do most of the talk
ing. "You know, he didn't even
kiss me until we'd gone together
for two months . ." explained
the buxom miss as they walked
down Fraternity Row.
"Really," asked a deep voice
on the porch of a near-by house,
"What was wrong with him?"
The three girls walked the
rest of the way in silence.

Unforgettable Student." Eiwh article will

By Gerry Fellman
A guy named Bill alias Terry,
(of "Terry and the Pirates") is
the most unforgettable student
of Paul L. Bogan, assistant pro
fessor of radio and speech. Bogan
is also director of radio for the
University.
The incident concerning Bill
that first came to Bogan's mind
had to do with one of Bill's
speeches in class. The assign
ment had been to give an eulogy.
Bill, being a NROTC man, spoke
on John Paul Jones.
Bill began the eulogy by say
ing that Jones was the father of
the navy. Later he added that
Jones had never been married.
This was too much for Bogan,
a former Army man, to resist.
Bogan remarked that he had
suspected such things of navy
men. But had never beiore neara
one admit it.

Students9 Strange Requests
For 'Food9 Plague Bus Boys
Today's special! Butterscotch
crib!
"What a gruesome thought!"
commented Jack Thurber, a Crib
bus boy of two years standing,
But what the student public
likes it gets! And butterscotch
cribs are less peculiar than most
requests the students give the
crib fountain.
For instance, one girl asked
for a tomato milkshake. The bus
boy rather doubtfully began mix
ing tomato juice, milk and ice
cream. The result was rather a
sickening color oL brange.'trtrt the
girl, much to the amazement of
the boy, ate it!

Another odd combination is a
vanilla shake with pistachio ice

Mortar Boards
Plan Regional
Confab Here
The Mortar Board regional
convention will be held at the
University Saturday, March 10.
The colleges represented at the
convention will be the Univer
sity of Illinois; Knox college,
Oaieshnrir. 111.: University of
Kansas; University of Missouri;
Washington university, St. Louis,
Mo.; and Kansas State college.
Twentv-one delegates from the
various colleges will attend the
convention. More are expected
to accept the convention bid.
Saturday will be spsnt in chap
ter discussions, luncheon and
personnel conferences with El
eanor Knoll.
Miss Knoll is regional secre
tary of Mortar Board chapters
in Section 7. She was graduated
from the University in 1947
where she majored in secondary
education and was president of
Mortar Board. Miss Knoll is
now teaching high school at Soc
City, la.
The discussions will consist of
evaluations of Mortar Board and
Mortar Board projects; and panel
discussions of current Mortar
Board problems and service
ideas. The panels will consist,
at different discussions, of rep
resentatives from various Mor
tar Board chapters. The dele
gates will arrive Friday, March

the University. He stayed in
Lincoln for a little more than a
year and then was transferred
to. the University of Iowa. He
finished his education at North-'
western university.
Bill actually spent six years
getting his degree. During all
this time, though, he took sev
eral breaks in his education in
order to take part in various
radio productions.
While attending Northwestern,
Bill met a man who was con
nected with the "Terry and the
Pirates" radio program. Bill was
given a tryout and soon became
Terry. He liked playing the part
of Terry but said that it was a
strain being a hero all . of the
time.
Lost Job Voice Changed
Later Bill discovered that the
Terry job was one of a short
period of employment. The radio
show was moved to New York.
So Bill's hero days were over.
But even if the show had not
been changed, Bill probably
could not have kept the job
much longer.
Bill's voice was changing, and
Terry then, was supposed to
have a young voice. In fact,

DALLAS WILLIAMS
in for a butterscotch crib with
pistachio ice cream, which, ac-
cording to the b"s,.bys. takes
an iron stomach to digest
"The sickest looking thing,"
stated one of the bus boys, is
chocolate ice cream with cherry
and butterscotch topping. How
ever, they still get orders for
them.
Almost any combination of
sundae has been asked for at
the crib. Cherry ice cream with
butterscotch topping, butterscotch
ice cream with chocolate goup
and lime ice cr&m with butter
scotch goup are common re
quests. Chocolate Popular
Chocolate shakes and chocolate
malts are the highest selling of
the ice cream drinks. Once in
a while a coffee shake or marsh
mellow shake is ordered.
As you would expect, cokes
double all other soft drink re
quests. However, coffee is a close
competitor especially in winter.
Eccentricities also run along this
line. For instance, one person
continually orders a marshmel
low green river.
Cribs are the most popular
along the heavier food line. "This
is mainly because they are cheap
er than anything else!" com
mented Jack Robinson, another
regular "behind the fountain"
ooy.
Favorite Sandwich
The cheeseburger is the favor
ite sandwich order, followed by
the hamburger and ham salad
sandwich. These are made by
kitchen man, Keith Morel, who
taught himself how to make the
sandwiches during his 20-nour-week
working time. "We believe
in experimenting on the custom
ers," laughingly commented
Keith, "and sometimes they know
it!"
The favorite "oddity" of the
student customers is the "race
horse." This drink is a combina
tion of all flavorings plus marsh
mellow and coke. This "slightly
hard to digest" drink is slowly
but surely becoming more pop
ular with the campus "cribbers."
Hadacol Specials
Occasionally the crib's hum
drum activity promotes the boys
to mix up one of their "hadacol
specials." Anyone with a cast
iron stomach and a few extra
hours to recupsrate is invited to
try one of these "poison substi
tutes." They consist v of coke,
water and dry ice and are not
advised for a regular diet or
even an occasional dit,
there had been some dozen
Terrys up to that time. You could
say that the mortality rate on
that job was very high. After
this Bill continued school and
did other radio acting.
But now for more about Bill's
days here at Nebraska. ,
The V-12s were housed in
Architectural hall. The men were
considered students at the Uni
versity. However, they were
still required to follow navy
rules. Bill had been given per
mission to participate in various
programs and activities for the
University. But all of the V-12s
had been ordered to be back at
the barracks at a certain dead
line every night.
Bill did not always let the
regulations stop him, though.
One night when he wanted to do
a special, late program, he de
cided to forget about the dead
line. He nonchalantly left the
barracks (through a window)
and took part in the program.
Tries to Direct Traffic
Bill seemed to have a liking
for the unusual. One time when
it was navy night on the cam
pus, he and a few of his ROTC
buddies decided to direct traffic

Comedy Will
"Uooa jncws ' is a musical com-
edy in two acts written by Lau
rence Schwab and B. J. DeSyiva,
The cast will total 50 or 60 in
cluding the principals and the
chorus. The production calls for
four exterior sets and three in
terior sets. This year's Kosmet
Klub musical is the first since
1941 that has had both men and
women participants.
Tryouts are open to any stu
dent regularly enrolled in the
University. Students will try out
for parts on March 19, 20 and 21.
'Roaring Twenties'
"Good News" takes place in
the "Roaring Twenties". It is a
typical college play in the age of
the raccoon cats, penants, skull
caps and speak easys.
In the beginning of the show,
the chances of Tora Marlowe
playing in the football game are
very slim. He has just funked an
astronomy exam and his profes
sor insists he must qualify in this
subject before he play on the
team.
Patricia, his girl friend at the
time, coaxes her demure little
cousin, Connie, into coaching
Tom. Tom really tries to get his
astronomy and in the process of
tutoring, he and Connie fall in
love.
Tom May Play
Things really become good
news when the harsh professor
shows that he really is a good
guy and he lets Tom play in the
all-important Colton game.
Tait University tromps Colton
in a rough and ready football
skirmish. Tom with .the help of
team mate, Robby Randall, gets
the ball across the line for a
touchdown.
Dallas Williams, University
Theater head, will direct this
year's show. Kosmet Klub will
soon launch .their ticket sales.
Student Enjoyment
Leon Pfeiffer, Klub president,
said that the primary purpose of
this spring's show is to present,
for the students' enjoyment, a
type of program which illustrates
true student, talent. It was felt
that a show with coeds would
give students a better opportun
ity for dramatic and musical de
velopment than mediocre half
acting. Principles directing this year's
show include written scripts, full
deletion of questionable material,
definite rules for the show, and
faculty supervision of rehearsals.
Other action of similar nature has
been instigated and promoted by
members in an attempt to pro
duce a show of the type pleasing
to all students.
Forbes Wins
Violin Audition
Kathleen Forbes, senior in the
University school of music, has
been announced as one of the
two winners of competitive audi
tions held by the Lincoln Sym
phony orchestra.
Dr. J. Marshall Neely, presi
dent of the board of directors of
the orchestra made the announce
ment Sunday. The contest held
at the University Saturday, fea
tured 29 musicians.
Miss Forbes, was the winner
in the instrumental division. A
violinist, she played "Poeme" by
Chausson.
Miss Forbes is a student of
Emanuel Wishnow, director of the
University Symphony orchestra.
The winner in the vocal com
petition was Jackie Harrison, a
junior in the school of music at
Nebraska Wesleyan university.
She sang "Vissi d'Arte" from "La
Tosca" by Puccini.
The winners will appear with
the symphony orchestra in a solo
performance April 10.
, on the corner of 13th and P
I Streets. They wanted to impress
ipon the drivers the importance
of navy night. The drivers,
thinking that the V-12s were
policemen of some kind (because
of the similarity in uniforms),
obeyed.
Bill and his friends had a gay
time and made several cars go
around the block two or three
times before they would let them
pass.
But Bill was not always un
ruly. He was a ood student and
as Bogan remarked," a bad
sailor but a good .actor."
Bogan also remembers that
Bill was quite a camera bug.
Bill would even bring his camera
to class. Whenever Bogan saw a
flash of light in class he knew
the reason.
Bill who is now acting on TV,
has bright hopes for the futurei
He told Bogan that he worked
for his college degree so that
he will be able to take over the
role of John on "John's Other

Fire In Month at Dorm
Five fire trucks, the fire chief
himself, and water gallons of it
taught one of the residents of
the girls' dorm Saturday night
that where there's smoking, there
is apt to be fire.
A blaze in the girl's third floor
rom completely destroyed her
mattress and blankets, damaged
the bed and her clothes were
soaked by the water.
According to Ruth Meierhenry,
the business director of the wo
men's residence halls, the fire
resulted from a cigaret burn on
the bedspread, which the girl
had not completely extinguished.
Mattress Burns
About 8:30 p. m., several hours
later, J. C. Sharpnack, campus
policeman, and J i m Smith,
switchboard operator, smelled
smoke and rushed to the room.
They found it filled with smoke
from the burning mattress.
The fire department was sum
moned, and Chief Paul Feaster
and five trucks came to the res
cue. While excited students in
cluding dateless girls watched,
firemen quickly soaked the mat
tress and threw it out of the
window. It was still smoking
