His duties will including aiding coeds in all matters of WROTC regulations and protocol and sponsoring the annual WROTC Marbles Tournament. The Air Force division of the WROTC will be quartered at the Lincoln Air Base. Dormitories constructed by the Lincoln Cham ber of Commerce and the Junior Women's Club are nearing com pletion. The new dormitories will contain all the modern conveni ences, including swimming pools, billard tables, indoor orchid gard ens, a sixtv-acre ballroom and plumbing. COEDS PARTICIPATING in the , Naval WROTC program will take ; part in five-to ten-year cruises on j the Carribean, the Mediterranean! and the Platte River. While on j cruise, the coeds will keep in ' trim by daily swims in the shark- ' infested waters. "This wi'l keep things lively for them," Miss Mc Artnur declared. Members of the Army WROTC unit will be required to take daily hikes to Robber's Cave. A. Ten Shun, spokesman for the Army , WROTC program, stated. "If all ' goes well, we might even get as far as The Delt Woods." Daily drills for all WROTC members will be held in the court ' of the Women's Residence Halls. Coeds classified as 4-F are pro testing this plan because it inter feres with sunbathing. "How can , we sunbathe with all those mus- cle-bound women soldiers trampling over us?"' an indig nant coed exclaimed. ALL DIVISIONS of WROTC will ; hold weekly parades in the Sigma Phi Epsilon parking lot. Ralph j Flanagan s marching band will play for the parades. A series of snappy new coed i uniforms have been designed by i Rocky Yapo. well-known fashion j major at the University. Yapp describes his creations as "sheer J loveliness and practical too." De 1 signs include complete wardrobes for WROTC coeds, featuring silk chiffon full-dress uniforms and Khaki-colored denim formals with matching berets. " The berets add a subtle touch of that continental atmosphere." Yapp declared The majority of University coeds were reported to be highly excited about the new WROTC program. Sorority houses have been thrown into a state '-i con fusion since the news was an nounced. "'I think it's hilarious." one coed screamed when inter viewed l v the Pink Rag. Lazy Fellow This University student seems to have contracted the same habit that plagues some 7,000 oi his cohorts. Not only did he sleep through class and the bell, but this dashing young chap had the gall to snooze while the soothing strains of the Carrillon Tower fluttered in the April winds. iovigt wsfenns Pink Haze Settles Over Campus Culture; Students Of 1954 Happy, Cooperative Hallgren Forecasts End Of Campus Fraternities University To Require Freshman, Sophomore Men To Live In Dorms The end of fraternity houses ! "We hoped this step would was predicted today by Frank Hallgren. assistant dean of stu dent affairs. Hallsren announced that a poll of Nebraska high schools indi cated that freshman enrollment at the University will be con siderably smaller next fall. About 40 new students are ex pected. Because of the decrease in enrollment, ail freshman men will be required to live in the new men's dorms. In addition, all 1953 freshmen will be le quired to live in the residence halt. THE ANNOUNC EMENT has created a great deal of excite ment amons fraternity house of ficer?." Hallgren observed, -because men will not be living in their houses next year.

Hallgren said. a HE EXPLAINED that the re quired residence in the dorms will ieave the fraternity houses ! urcjsv It's a blue world in the Red World of 1954. Ever since the Communists took over, the old camphi just ain't what it used to be! Some of the old traditions have been slightly revolution ised. Classroom procedure has been altered somewhat. Students are referred to as "Comade Stu dent" instead of Mr. or Miss. The instructor is Big Brother. Ac tually, you see, the University is just one big happy family. THE ANCIENT social fortress, the Greek fraternity, vanished long ago, replaced by the smoothly coordinated Soviet Sys tem. Rush-ian Week is no longer a hectic jumble of hot-boxing, free cigars and endless hand shakes the freshman of 1954 is simply met at the door by an active with a gun in one hand and a pledge pin in the other. No mttss, no fuss. And Hell Week, now called Hail Week, has been changed into a joyous week of alum-sponsored rallies, games and target practices. Just the other day some ROTC beys in their polka-dot socks were seen out in the faculty parking lot digging mushrooms for Monday night dessert. Mush rooms are considered a special delicacy, and are added to the student diet of Red wine and borscht on special occasions.

The student newspaper, The Pink Rag, has acquired its third new editor in the last year. The former editor, Pollyanna Fall, was accused of keeping red, white and blue copy pencils in her desk drawer. Forced into semi-retirement, she was last seen gathering seaweed to dec orate her pink ping-pong table. She just loves pink but, unfor tunately, she doesn't like red as well. I. Scoop-Em All, the new edi tor, has inaugurated a new pol icy. All future issues of the paper will campaign for a reform of the ridiculous coed closing hours. Nine p.m. is just too late.

The two senior honoraries on campus, the Guilties and the Ce ment Blocks, announced recenuy that this year there will be no Ivy Day sing. This tradition, which began in the dark ages when the University was young, has been cancelled because last vear a competing group sang ''Red River Valley" with im nroner reverence. The planting of the ivy, too, will be forgotten because of the skyrocketing price of ivy. Cottages are all the rage this year.
