Henninger
Warns Men
Of Deadline
The deadline for filing applica
tion blanks for the new series of
Selective Service College Quali
fications tests is fast approach
ing.
This was the reminder that
Brigadier General Guy N. Hen'
ninger. Nebraska director of se
lective service, recently sent to
college students who have not
previously taken the college qual
ification test.
He also stressed the impor
tance of all eligible students
taking the test if they intend to
apply for deferment as stu
dents. The test dates for the second
series are Dec. 13, 1951 and
April 24, 1952. Blanks may be
obtained by the registrant in
any local board office.
General Kenninger said that
students whose academic year
will end in January, 1952, are
urged to apply for the Dec. 13
test. In this way, they will have
scores in their files when the local
boards consider their cases in
January.
He also indicated that those
who do not have test score re
sults in their cover sheets may
have "a very difficult time in
deed in convincing their local
boards that they should be de
ferred as students.
A total of 339,000 students
took the first series of tests giv
en last spring and summer.
General Henninger said. A total
f 3 per cent received scores
f 71 or better.
Application blanks for Dec. 13,
J951 tests must be postmarked not
later than midnight, Monday,
MTov. 5, 1951. Applications for the
April 24, 1953 test must be post
marked not later than midnight,
March 10, 1952.
tentative of this fact. An
African game called "Calabash"
is similar to many of the small
circle games like "Ring Around
the Rosie" played by children
in the United States. "Skin the
Snake," a popular child's game,
is of Chinese origin.
The games of soccer and Rugby
played in the United Kingdom are
similar to the games of soccer
and football played in the United
States.
The PE exhibit also shows the
development of the dance in the
United States from the art form
to modern dance and from the
folk form to the square dance.
The United States and Philippine
exhibit also includes different
games through the centuries. One'
display points out the fact that
more than 70 child's games that
were popular in 1560 are still
being played today.
One piece of sports equipment
from Japan is a type of bad
mitten paddle that is colorfully
decorated with painted flowers
and a face of a Japanese girl.
This paddle is used in a Japa
nese parlor game played ex
clusively by Japanese women.
The object of this game is to
hit a shuttlecock across a
painted floor line. If one of
the team members misses, his
opponent may mark a line on
her face with a piece of chalk
or lipstick.
One of the displays is a Ger
man collapsible boat complete
with saiL France is partially
represented by fencing foils, and
the Mexico exhibit includes bull
fighting and Jai Alai displays.
Oriental and Hindu dance dis
plays are part of the Central
Asia exhibit. Dances and sports
of Israel, Turkey and Syria are
included in the Southern Asia ex
hibit. Folk dances and ballet are in
cluded in the Russian display.
Scandinavian countries, Slavic
countries and Central European
countries are also included in the
exhibit.
Mary Ann Wood, president
of the physical education club,
is in charge of the exhibits.
Norma Setzkorn is head of the
exhibit arrangement. Mrs. Ruth
Levenson is chairman of the
faculty committee.
The exhibition will be held to
morrow and Thursday from 8 to
5 p.m. in Grant Memorial. The
public is invited to attend.

Smokey Stover Cartoons Add Spice
To Pun Collector's Weekly Letters
By CONNIE GORDON
Staff Writer
A Dun is the lowest form of
humor?
Not according to Pat Bradley,
Teachers College freshman who
has made a novel hobby of collep
ting puns from the Smokey Stover
cartoons. Pat cuts out tne puns
that she thinks are especially
clever and saves them for "future
reference."
Unlike most collectors, Pat
doesn't keep a scrap book handy
in which to place these puns. She
has a far better use for them.
Whenever she writes a letter and
one of the mins "fits in." she
pastes it on the letter.
The puns which Pat uses in
her letters express everything
from anger to elation. "When

again, they form vital parts of
life-giving fluids in the two dif

That's where these two and
blood are alike. Blood furnishes
life for humans. It's carried
through veins and net-like af
fairs called capillaries. In this
way, it receives a free ride to
every part of the body right
down to the very fingertips. ,
Maple syrup and rubber, in
the, form of a sap, do the same
thing for the tree. A network
of veins carries the stuff up the
trunk, out the Hmbs, into the
leaves.
Then too, blood, maple syrup
and rubber can be tapped. In all
the process is perfectly
solid stuff that's been delegated
other duties. One part sews up
wounds. Another part prevents
excessive bleeding. Still an
other element fights, the never
ending war against anemia.
Now, all commodities are evalu

mand. Sure, the demand for maple
syrup and rubber are far above
the hopes for immediate supply.

puns that shows a man on a
ladder pounding the ceiling with
a hammer," she said.
There are, all sort of puns
that indicate a person's feelings
in a certain situation. When Pat
is in a particularly low mood,
she may place a picture of a dog
sitting on a melon in her let
ter, and write, "I am feeling
very meloncholy today."
These picture puns add much to
Pat's letters and are in keeping
with her psychology concerning
letters and letterwriting.
Pat believes that letters should
be humorous and interesting. She
knows that even if things haven't
been going particularly well, f
little humor can oft-times rem

and everyday life.
Pat thinks that letter-writei

write when I'm in a good mood,"
she said.
Judging from the number of
letters Pat writes, she must be
in a good mood most of the
time. "During school, I can
write only three or four letters
a week. Ideally, I would like to
write six or seven letters a
week."
Even with her time-consuming
University activties, Pat's
three or four letters usually in

see, unlike most people who take
letter writing as a plague, Pat
"loves it."
Because Pat does like letter
writing so much, she thought of
her original pun-collecting hobby.

Blood, on the other hand, can
last for a long time. Too, in or
der to be utilized by the body,
it doesn't have to be converted
changed in any May.
Maple syrup and rubber, in
order to meet human demands,
have to be processed. They don't
go on the market in raw form.
Blood is best in its raw form
preferably whole. However,
when separated Into parts, one
of its most useful components is
plasma.
This substance, kid of yellowish-looking
stuff, is a giant in the
infection-fighting industry. It is
also one of the best sharp shooters
when it comes to battling shock,
a major cause of death.
Transfusions of whole blood
overcome shock, but blood may
not be immediately available. Salt
or sugar solutions can be used as
a temporary way of restoring
blood volume lost in this manner.
In some cases as in burns,
plasma may be better than whole
blood. In burns, body tissues let
fluid leak out, but not red cells.
Plasma, therelore, restores blood
pressure without adding an ex
cess of red ceils.
About 70 to 80 percent of bat
tle wounds produce shock. Shock
is very common after accidents,
in hemorrhage from any cause
after burns.
Plasma takes up 55 percent of
blood composition. The rest is
