The possibility of a spring let-off-steam acti
Tity has. been one of the most frequently dis
cussed, least acted upon ideas at the University.
Fc- several years, students and faculty alike
have considered having some sort of program
during the spring months, something to divett
energy and interests from panty raids and other
nonsensical "recreation."
-
Recently, however, at a meeting of campus
organizations, sorority and fraternity leaders,
co-sponsored by the University administration
and the Student Council, the possibility came a
little closer to being a reality, Council president
Jack Rogers said his organization had been con
idering the project for this spring.
The Nebraskan lends its wholehearted support
to a plan for a spring-time celebration, activity,
Parking Appeal
Newspaper appeals are usually uninteresting
reading and often result in nothing more than
neatly filled space in the publication's news
columns. The Nebraskan would, however, like
to make an appeal with the hope students take it
seriously.
The appeal Is really quite simple: Please be
careful where and how you park.
The upperclassmen can remember the long
process it took to acquire the large parking lots
that are now open for student use. A few even
remember the old "Parking Riot" of several
years ago. All have one thing in common an
abiding dislike for the long tour that is often
necessary to find a parking spot.
The 'tourw is particularly distasteful when
there are actually many parking spaces that
are taken up by drivers too earless or too un
coordinated to park their automobiles properly.
For those .who would debate this fact take a
walk around the Union parking lot and see
the wasted space.
Students and University police alike will not
be happy should a parking crackdown become
necessary. Be considerate when you park it
will save you from fines and the police lots of

let-off-steam drive or whatever it may be
called. It would also like to forward several
suggestions for what might make up the pro
gram of such an event .
First, the spring time activities should be
timed to coincide with the annual All-Sports
Day sponsored by the University athletic de
partment The Day attracts crowds of Ne
braskan who might not otherwise travel to the
campus. The added advantages in public re
lations between the University and the tax-paying
public would make this more than worth
while. Second, many of the isolated, frequently un
derattended activities that are on the spring
calendar could be re-scheduled into a tight
three day program. This would put no extra
strain on persons involved, and might insure
campus wide interest on activities usually con
fined to a particular segment of students. For
example, the first day of the spring carnival
could be taken up with sports activities, foot
ball, basketball, track, etc; the second day with
the Ag College rodeo. Evenings could feature
the Kosmet Klub spring show. The third day
could feature the presentation of the Aqua
quettes' annual show.
This suggested schedule may "be sadly lack
ing and suggest programs that cannot be sched
uled for any other time than the one already
provided by the University social calendar," in
the words of some students. The fact remains,
however, that there are many small bright spots
of entertainment i that go on during the spring
months when most of the student population is
bored to tears. These isolated flashes could be
moulded into a really brilliant big weekend.
In his speech to those attending the co-sponsored
meeting of campus leaders, Rogers noted
that spring activity was still in the planning
stage, that nothing definite had yet been set up, ,
and there was no certainty that such a program
could be arranged. Certainly setting up some
thing of this type, for the first time, would be
difficult. However, the rewards would definitely
mke the effort worthwhile, even if the only
result is to avert the spring time idiocy that
brings on panty raids. T. W.

Reprinted from the Daily Kan
san) Picking himself up from a lazy
summer and sunny days, the re
luctant student finds his way back
to KU hoping that maybe this
year will be a better one. Maybe.
Keep reading. (This applies to
every Nebraska student too.)
And with "maybe" dragging af
ter him, he finds himself standing
in the most familiar of lines mak
ing ready to register and enroll.
And then he knows that summer
is gone.
Kissing santmertime goodby, he
looks around at the faces that sat
behind him In a myriad of classes
last year. Suddenly mouths open
and give out with "HI!" and "Glad
to see you back!"
"Yeh," he says, reaching for his
checkbook and dishing out the
produce of a summer disappear
ing as quickly as his bank 'ac
count. His tuition paid, his printing
arm cramped, and his money
gone, he poses for a picture that
won't look like him but will get
him into football games when it's
finally pasted on his ID card.
Then the fun begins. His dreams
of dud courses and no-lab classes
suddenly shatter into a schedule
that has more to do with require
ments than electives. Even an air
conditioned Union can't quite com
pensate for the sweat that accom
panies the harsh statements of an
advisor, closed-out classes, and
courses all coming at the same
time and at S a.m.
But such i. life and such is edu
cation. Plaintive whisper, of
"down to business" and "educa
tion first" rumble between hour
dances and partles-to-be. .Half
hearted vows of "this year will be
different" flicker In and out again. '
And pushing himself like the
little train that said, "I think I

chin with a scholarly air and pre

able associate editor that this "col
umn" was to be tips on dating for
freshmen coeds. My pleas that I
was a war widow and hadn't dated
for two months fell upon unhear
Ing ear.. So, as a poor decrepit
senior, I write tips on dating.
College boys (I mean men) are
anique. Webster cites three mean
ings of the word unique. Number
one: "Single." That Is what col
lege men like to pretend they are
or' want to be; however, single is
a condition they all secretly want
to avoid.
Number two meaning is "un
usual or notable." That they def
initely are or strive to be. College
men try to cultivate certain things
they can be noted for. It is evi
dent in their dress, fads and repu
tation. Number three meaning was listed
as "peculiar." I will not comment
on this as I do have friends and
wish to keep them.
College men may be placed Into
several categories. Freshman co
eds should start a 'card file of
their male friends undrr these cate
gories for ready refeience.
The first type is the well known
"Campus Wheel." "They appear
extremely well dressed and are
usually Idolized by the freshman
girls. However, be careful. Coke

"Wheel." ."He has meetings from

As far as week-end dates, he's

I must, at all times, use the
famous device of great authors
and-or humorists plagiarism!
I suppose I can make reference,
for space taking reasons, of my
vacation to the grand and glorious
scenery of Canada. Canada, with
anexplolted roads (no Burma-Shave
Ads); Canada, with Its beauty and
splendor; Canada, with Its government-sold

would not be complete without a
ileoalptloa of Sandwich, Illinois,'
where I spent aa exciting 14 hours
while my car was being fixed. This
part of Illinois has nothing but
miles aad miles of aothlng but
miles and miles.
Also I should tell of some of my
likes and dislikes . . . such as how
I thought that "The Egyptian" was
the greatest movie since "The
Bowery Boys Beat the Races." Or
perhaps I should remind everyone
(who needs to be reminded) of the
walk on In the "Dragnet" movie
mmmmmmm, boy!
And so I shall leave this nothing-in-particular
in your lap, with. one
closing thought people who live
hi glass house, shouldn't unless
they first draw the blinds. '
"Party Boys" should also be
listed in the freshman coed's card
file. They are sloppy dressers but
are often (not always) smoooooth
talkers. Academic matters are
NOT among their Interests. They
party during the week without
dates and are most often found in
the Grill. On weekends they can
be found in various and sundry
places with dates.
The "Student" is the third type.
He Is a shy, retiring boy. with a
shining face and a very neat ap
pearance. Freshman girls will not
have to worry about the "Student"
because he usually doesn't likt
girls anyway.
The next type is the "Athlete."
If he is dedicated to his particu
lar sport, you won't see him during
the training season. If you do, it
will be for an occasional movie and
that's all. However, after the train
ing period is over, they will bo
circulating fast and furiously to
make up for lost time.
The "Pinned Boy" is the last
type. He is quite faithful on the
surface but sometimes has a per.
fidlous nature. The "Pinned Boy"
Is often the example of the old
saying, "while the cat's away, the
mouse will play." Beware of these
men and keep your roomate'a
friendship.
There are many rules you've
heard of that the college man con
aiders "old fashioned."
One is that it is proper to call
one week in advance for a date.
This will probably not happen but
if it does, take caution. It might
mean he has a hard time finding a
date and must start calling early to
be assured of a date next weekend.
Undoubtedly, you know of the
"three date rule." It is a fine old
standard but, unfortunatley, college
men have never heard of it. If
you date a man who is ignorant of
it, a firm fist in the face will in.
form him. If this doesn't work,
go home.
Of course, there is much mora
that could be said on the subject
