Who Pays? . . .
Should a criminology course be required for
the University curriculum? Or perhaps a semi
nar in general appreciation. Many students, ex
perienced in the art of petty thievery, would
undoubtedly get a nine out of the former.
The point is: an intolerable situation has de
veloped at the Union. Juke boxes have been put
out of commission by "cribbers" who don't like
the "tone." Lives are being jeopardized by the
theft of fire axes.
Duane Lake, Union director, calls this situa
tion a "recent trend." Furniture, including dainty
sand urns which certainly add beauty to any
house on campus, have disappeared. Let's hope
that any new additions will not ruin the balance
crsated by interior decorators!
The radio, a very complicated device for fee
bio minded ones, is in constant need of repair.
T'oc buttons lust seem to drop off day after day.
Possibly there are some "uniformed" Univer

College Drinking Is Problem
For Education, Not Legislation
L
In spite of the obvious importance that my
colleague, Beth Randall attaches to undergrad
uate drinking, I refuse to apologize for the omis
sions that she points out.
The matter on undergraduate drinking, while
a problem, is not a matter for
legislation. No, it's more a
matter for education.
Ever hear the story about the
little girl who was asking her
father about the liquor laws?
"How old does a person have
to be to drink?" she asked.
"Twenty-one," replied her
father.
"Then how old do they have
to be not to drink?" she asked.
People do not seem to realize that when a per
son under 21 takes a drink, they are breaking
the law. Right or wrong, the law is there. And
there is a reason for the law. If the legislators
thought that people under 21

changed. But apparently they don't.
No matter what kind of law there is, some one
Is bound to break it. Does that mean that the
law is "wrong?
Surely everyone has heard

fessor S. J. House's convocation attendance sur
vey. The University is an institution of learning,
with this in mind the Union and faculty convo
cation committee plans programs which will be
an asset to students and also tie in with the edu
cation they are receiving during their four
years' college tutelage.
Within recent years, the committee has spon
sored such valuable speakers as Ogden Nash,
the Union is theirs, and that their money, $6
from the tuition, is used for replacements and
repairs.
Those "children" who were "initial carvers"
in their youth are familiar with that trite re
proof "y o u-wouldn't-do-it-at-home-so-w h y-do-it-here"
but since such behavior is nothing
more than childishness, the shoe still fits. You
may have thought that slipping that end table from
the ladies' lounge was the cutest thing you ever
did in your undergraduate days. After all, your
friends thought it was pretty smart and look at
you with new respect for your "daring." You
really didn't need it your house has enough fur

And how many times have you heard friends

here is the clue to the drinking problem.
The glamor attached to drinking, high living,
lost week-ends in Omaha and so on has become
a part of University life. Since the big boys
do it, the freshmen want to. And since the
freshmen do it, the high schoolers want to. No
body knows how far this will go. Maybe back
to the cradle.
What is the solution? It certainly isn't chang

a matter of growing up.

Student Finds Going to Bed
Not as Easy as It Sounds
By Miyllis Long
At 12 midnight when your brain
is fatigued, your eyes are crossed
from following a printed line in a
textbook and your hand is
cramped into a hand-shakinc to-
sition it is time to go to bed.
Take a look in the mirror and see
the shining example of a harried
college student. Hair rumpled to
resemble a dry mop, sagging
cheeks, and orbs Tesembling two
burning holes ra a blanket.
"I'm going straight to bed" said
the brave student. "Where are my
p.j.'s? They were here last night.
There they are under the chair
how did they get there?" After
getting ready for bed you start
down the hall to brush your
tooth and wash your toe.
Fourth For Bridge
Hark the shuffle of cards is
heard and a beckoning voice
yells "fourth for bridge." Class
time is going to come terribly
early in the morning, but just a
--"pj oi nanas snouian i tajce too
much time. Besides you can catch
UP on yur sleeP in history class
in the morning. "Deal 'em out
kids, be there in a minute."
Two long hands later, 12 m. al
ready, and you still have your
cards in front of you. "Gee, I'm
not even tired anymore." A few
more night cwls shuffle into the
room and bridge is forgotten. Hide
the food and cigarettes there's a
hungry look in their eyes.
Gossip Mongers
Someone starts the conversation
off with "Did you see Suzy
mooning over that man in An
drews hall this morning?" A half
hour later all mutual "friends"
had been run thru the ringer and
rinsed twice. Again the effort to
go to bed is made. Back to the
cubby hole with you.
You still aren't sleepy maybe
a magazine would be relaxing.
You thumb through the pages
looking for something interesting.
Speaking of relaxing someone
who has an eye for the almighty
dollar has designed a pair of
lounging pajamas for TV fans.
They have bloomer legs which
are tight at the bottom, no sleeves
and a scooped out neck, all just
right for an ungraceful position.
How To Stay Slim
What's this an article on how
to keep slim in ten easy lessons.
This is too good to be kept a
secret. Again you wander out into
the hall in search of a few sleep
walkers. "Hey girls, look at this!"

By this time a good many of your
fellow boarders have caught their
second wind and exercises are
suggested. Just for kicks you and
your "friends of the bulge" trot
downstairs to indulge in a few
muscle benders before retire
ment. Just what you need to put
you to sleep.
Whew, what a routine, you just
have to go to bed now. Echoing
your favorite theme you at last
trudge to bed and fall into a dead
slumber.
Four hours later someone gives
you a lusty poke and cheerily says
seven o'clock, time to get up. Bet
she didn't stay up so late last
night; if I had only gone to bed
early."
Such is life 1 suppose! And the
professors wonders why his pupils
come to class, answer roll call and
fall fast asleep on those soft
wooden chairs.
