Friday, December 21, 1951 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE A ,1 .It -i f : V ' 9 Frosty, Frigid, Freezing-All Describe University Sub-Zero Wonderland BY CONNIE GORDON Feature Editor Even though the song "Winter Wonderland" is again coming into its perennial popularity, its words hardly express the thoughts of the student body concerning the chill winter winds and the icy streets that are transforming the campus into anything but a wonderland. Students are falling down on the ice. cars are getting stuck in the snow, and students are bracing themselves against the chilling winter winds. This winter, as usual, can hardly be called a wonderland. However, students have ac cepted the challenge brought about by this frigid season and devised some methods to keep from freezing. Some of the methods are, to say the least, unique. Darlene Fiscus, senior in the college of Arts and Sciences, ex presses the method she used to keep warm during winter. She said that she simply stays indoors. This methods, according to many other students, is successful al most 100 percent of the time. One exception to the success of this method however, began when the furnace broke down in one of the organized houses on campus during the midst of one of the re cent snow storms. However, the girls found staying in the cold house the lesser of two evils the other being going out in the sub zero weather. One girl who wished to re main anonymous said that dur ing her first year at the Uni versity, she sometimes carried hot water bottle around with her whenever she had to be out for a few minutes. The reason she stopped, she said, was that one time the hot water bottle slipped out from under her belt and fell to the snow. But she added philosophically, "It didn't keep me warm, anyway!" Many students recommended drinking hot drinks, such as coffee or other stimulants before going out into the cold. Even though the effects of the hot liquids don't last too long, the students com mented they're helpful while they last. Many students, believed, and rightly so, that all hot liquids would not do any good if the per son himself didn't "bundle up good" before going outside. Though they help keep the feet warm, . overshoes and stadium boots are by student majority vote the most unpopular wearing apparrel for winter. The reasons given included the fact that the shoes were excessively bulky and that if students were not used to walking in them they' proved very cumbersome. Some students complained that they had a difficult time keeping warm even while they were in fairly warm places. Some unusual methods were given by various students on their methods of keeping warm. One of the printable methods included wearing some of one's outdoor parhernalia indoors. Sitting atop or near radiators or hot air registers proved to be a very popular method of keeping warm. The biggest complaint made against winter by the students was Campus Footographer - By KATHRYN RADAKER THE QUESTION "How did you find out that there was no Santa Claus?" THE ANSWERS Bill Holmquist, Business Administration senior: When I was six years old my brother said, "Ha, ha, I know something you don't know!" This was followed by my brother telling me there was no Santa. Mary Lou Flaherty, Teachers college junior: The "kids" at school told me and I cried and cried. Then I asked my parents and they told me that he was a Christmas spirit that has lived forever. Jerry Barton, Business Administration freshman: I couldn't possibly see how Santa Claus could slid down the small hole in our chimney. Beth Rohwer, Ag college sophomore: A nasty little boy in the second grade told me. He also said that there was no Easter bunny. Bill Thayer, Business Administration freshman: My mother told me that Santa came down the chimney but we didn't have a fire place! Jerry Robertson, Arts and Sciences college junior: I suspected It all along. Chuck Decker, Business Administration sophomore: I found presents in the closet and Christmas eve the same presents were left for me, my parents said, by Santa. the frigid wind. One sophomore girl commented, "No matter which direction I walk, the wind always seems to hit me in the face." No really serious accidents have resulted fi-om falls on the slippery ice, but some of the falls have proved to be slightly embarrassing. One girl fell as she was going to her 1:00 o'clock class when she fell near Love library and dropped all her books and papers. She managed to pick up all of her snow filled books, but many of her papers blew away, including a theme that had to be handed te during the next hour. Winter will come and winter will go, but the University stu dents will hardly ever consider it a1 "Winter Wonderland." Artists Give Skits At Annual Party More than 50 students and fac ulty members of the University, art department attended the de partment's annual Christmas party at the Morrill, hall galleries Thursday aftempon.J ..' On the afternoon's schedule, from 3 to 5 p.m., were refresh ments and skits given by the art students of the freshman, sopho more, junior and senior classes. Theme of the skits was art com bined with humor. Junior art students decorated the galleries for the occasion and faculty members arranged the re freshments. Duard Laging is head of the department. Ag College Department Of Chemistry Conducting Research On Stale Bread What causes bread to go stale? A research project is under way at the University to find out. The agricultural cnemistry de partment at the College of Agri culture has a; grant from the Army quartermaster- corps to finance the work. Prof. R. M. Sandstedt and Robert Gates are the inves tigators. One reason for the project, the scientists said, is the great economic loss each year from stale bread. According to a sur vey, the return of stale bread from stores to bakeries was re sponsible for waste equivalent to 250,710,000 loaves of bread in one year. That means about 184 million pounds of flour. The quartermaster corps' inter est, however, is giving better Final Exam Schedule Laboratory classes meeting for several continuous hours on one or two days shall meet for examinations as follows: Classes meeting on Monday and Tuesday shall be examined on the date scheduled for the first hour of their laboratory meeting; Wednesday or Thursday classes on the second hour of their meet ing; Friday or Saturday classes on the third hour. Unit examinations have been scheduled for all sections in the following subjects: (1) Bus iness Organization 3, 4, 21, ,141, 147, 190; (2) Civil Engineering 219; (3) Economics 11, 12, 115; (4) Edu cation 30, 61, 62; (5) Electrical Engineering 135, 1 98, 236, 237; (6) English B, 1, 2, 3, 4, 100; (7) French 11, 13; (8) Home Economics 41, 42; (9) Mathematics 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 41, 42, 105, 106, 107; (10) Mechanical Engineering 1; (11) Spanish 51, 53. If students have regularly sceduled examina tions conflicting with the above specially arranged schedule, arrangements to take such specially scheduled examinations at another time should be made with the department concerned on or before January 9. For example: If .a student is schedul ed for an examination which conflicts with a spe cially scheduled examination in French, arrange ments should be made with the French department to take such French examination at another time.

Bread goes stale even though wrapped or placed in another container to prevent moisture loss. The container may prevent moisture loss but it does not keep the bread fresh. The Nebraska scientists have found that bread staling is more the result of changes in the phys ical and chemical makeup of the bread's starch rather than the drying out process. The changes result in less flexible starch granules which in turn cause the bread to feel or taste dry. There are two kinds of stal ing In bread. One is the de velopment of the dry, harsh feel and ac rumbliness of the bread crumb. The other is the development of off flavors. The Nebraska chemists, however, are working on the problem of explaining and eventually pre venting the changes resulting: in the former type. - In order to understand what happens to the ., starch when it stales the researchers have con ducted extensive studies on the properties of starch especially gelatinization. That means swell ing and dissolving in water. They believe this is the reverse of staling. The studies, they said, are yielding valuable information for Mon.. Wed..

Sandstedt and Gates are using motion pictures in order to see what happens to starch during gelatinization. Motion pictures of the starch changes are taken through a microscope. The pic tures are a permanent record of valuable data. . Women's Advertising Honorary Holds Meeting Gamma Alpha Chi, women's professional advertising fraternity, met Thursday afterrfoon In Ellen Smith hall. Eleanor Erickson, treasurer, an nounced that coeds could claim new initiates' pins and member ship certificates as soon as possi ble. Members discussed plans fo? advertising and financial proj ects. Gamma Alpha Chi's part in a proposed University magazine edited by journalism fraternities was also considered.
