Hoover Predicts Plague
jal,BaPir,u i
Pooled! By S
y site FDTD
By ROGER HENKLE
Staff Writer
"I never have any trouble de
vising a fool-proof system to keep
students from registering early,
but I am unable to devise a student-prof
system," Floyd W. Hoov
er, director of Registration and
Records, said.
"Students," he moaned, "al
ways find some way to break the
system." The "system win De
Bin operating next Monday when
registration for next semester's
classes begins. On that day Hoover
and his staff will pull out tneir
rrvins-towels and psychoanalytic
couches for another big season
of "all manner of touching, in
genious stories which imply water
tight reasons for registering early."
Hoover divides the excuses into
three classifications The My-Poor-Grandmother-Just-D
i e d ex
cuse, The My-Aged-Mother-Is-Con-fined-to-Bed-With-the-Consumptio
n
Gambit and the My-Boss-Is-a-Slave
Driver.
Union Shorn
Atom Energy
Photo Exhibit
'Atomic Energy," an exhibition
prepared by the editors of Life
magazine, will be shown at the
Union Lounge until Feb. 5.
The thesis of the exhibition is
that science is truly international
and that atomic energy is- not
exclusively scientific matter but
will inevitably involve social and
jxrtitical questions. The numerous
photographs emphasize the im
portance of the laymen's under
standing of social and political
aspects of this great new source
of energy rather than the nuclear
physics of the subject.
Peacetime Research
The exhibition opens with the
seven scientists whose peacetime
research led to wartime develop
ment. Panels of Hiroshim, Naga
ska and Bikini and experiments
with animals, radiation sickness
and mutation follow.
The second section is devoted
ta postwar use, the development of
atomic power and continuing of re
search. Photographs are shown of
a plutonium laboratory, the new
California cyclotron, work in the
production of radioactive isotopes
at Oak Ridge and the new uses of
radioactive isotopes in industry,
commerce and therapy.
; Atomic Energy Control
The last section is devoted to
the problem of atomic energy con
trol. This involves the world sourc
es of uranium, the mining of uran
ium, Oak Ridge separation plant
and the possible diversion of atomic
energy to use as a weapon of war.
The exhibition closes with panels
describing the problem in edu
cation and statecraft and as it is
manifested in ways of the human
spirit.
The Grandmother bit is exceed'
ingly high twice each year, Hoov'
er maintains, and he personally
wonders "how the morticians can
handle so many bodies. Grand
mothers seem to die in wind
rows."
One student, he' said, had to
follow his poor deceased grand
mother clear to California to see
that she was properly buried, and
it just had to be done the last
Registration
Freshemen with zero hours cred
it may pick up their registration
tickets this week, the office of Reg
istration and Records announced
Tuesday.
Tickets can be picked up in the
Military and Naval Sciences build
ing. Freshmen with last names
beginning with the letter A to ni
will pick up tickets Wednesday,
H to N, Thursday, and O to Z,
Friday. All students must bring
their identification cards.
The Office of Registration and
Records said that tickets have been
so arranged that students in the
0 to Z group will have no disad
vantages in getting low ticket
numbers. v
few days of registration.
The second most popular excuse
is that of illness in the family.
Hoover confesses he is "often
touched by the solicitude of stu
dents for their imilies. They
must spend hours fitting up nurs
ing." Hoover imagines this reg
istration period to be another
plague year.
"All this proves that University
students have a keen sense of
filial devotion."
Running a poor third is the
excuse of not being able to leave
work except on Monday morning
The Registrar's Office is semi-aiv
nually beset by doe-eyed young
men who have to spend every
spare hour in the sweat-shop work
ing to support i their girl friends
or their Oldsmobiles.
Finally, Hoover says, there are
always a lew married students
who must fit their registration
schedule so that they'll have time
to baby-sit with their several chil
dren. This has become less conv
mon since the war.
Hoover promises to "listen very
carefully" to each and every story.
'And I am always glad to offer
any of them a dry handkerchief,"
he says.

Legislature:
Pinning Must Mean
Certain Engagement
' By JUDY BOST
Staff Writer
Pinmates, lost in a haze of ro
manticism, are not aware that
the long arm of the law may
reach out and destroy the haze
any minute.
There is a law on the Nebraska
statute book, dated 1905, stating
that anyone wearing a traternai
badge who is not a female rela
tive or is not intending to marry
the owner of the pin can be prose
cuted. Kill-joy aspects of the law seem
to indicate that the 1905 Legisla-
Reef Guidon
Inducts 75
New Members
Red Guidon, honorary Artillery
organization, recently initiated 15
members at the Pershing Armory
on Ag campus.
The initiates are Larry Abbott,
Ellsworth Benson, Larry Connor,
Dana Eurich, Tom Gray, Don Kre
jic, Willis Kriz, Pat Madden, Ray
Monnette, Tom Nielsen, Charles
Beppert, Mervyn Schliefert, Sol
Stiss, Dale Sttukenholtz and Melvin
Todd.
Valdean Markkussen, president,
said that membership requirements
are a desire for artillery and a
satisfactory standing in the ROTC
program.
Officers besides Markussen are
Robert Sorenson, vice preident,
Lee Nielen, secretary, and Alan
Loftis, treasurer. Advisor is Capt.
George Darst
Markussen said the purpose of
Red Guidon is to develop and pro
mote a closer bond of comrade

MofVafon
Is First Topic
For Symposia
The first two symposia to be
held this year by the psychology de
partment will be presented Thurs
day and Friday in Room 201 Social
Science Hall.
The general topic, "Current
Theory 'and Research in Motiva
tion," will be discussed by Drs.
A. H. Maslow, David C. McLelland
and James Olds. Dr. Maslow,
head of the psychology department
of Brandeis University, Waltham,
Mass., will present a manuscript,
"Deficiency Needs and Growth
Needs" at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
Dr. MacLelland, chairman of the
psychology department Wesleyan
University, Middletown, Conn., will
present a manuscript "Achieve
ment Motive in Its Social Con
text" at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Drs. Olds, from McHill Univer
sity, will present a manuscript,
"Fhysiological Marchanisms of Re
ward" at 9:30 a.m. Friday. A gen
eral discussion led by Drs. Maslow,
MacLelland and Olds will be held
at 2 p.m. Friday.
Sno-Ball Dance
To Be. Feb. 11
The seventh annual Sno-Ball
Dance will spotlight the music of
Bobby Mills and his orchestra.
The Sno-Ball, a winter feature of
the Ag Union, is scheduled for Feb.
11.
Dancing will be in the College
Activities Building from 8:30 to
11:30 p.m. Tickets will be $1.50
per couple.
Those attending the dance will
select Ag Campus's "cutest baby"
from photos of well known Ag
students in their younger days.
Ardie Young won last year's con
test. Another prize will go to the per
son identifying the greatest num
ber of the baby pictures.
ture was composed of cantankerous
bachelors who would fight woman
suffrage and be strongly for pro
hibition in later years.
"Cheats and Swindles" is the
section under which the law ap
pears. Industrious persons could
probably find a libel charge in
there somewhere.
Many times pinned persons may
find the whole thing rather expens
ive or, if financially embarrassed,
quite uncomfortable. The law
states that a fine of $50 or 90 days
in the county cooler is the prob
able punishment.
The law states:
"Whoever willfully wears or uses
the badge, insignia, jewel or badge
of any lodge guild, society or as
sociation, fraternal or otherwise,
who is net a member in good
standing shall be fined in any sum
not to exceed $50 or be imprisoned
in the county jail for a term not
to exceed 90 days; Provided noth
ing in this section shall be con
strued to prohibit the mother, wife,
sister, daughter of affianced wife
of a member in good standing
from wearing the badge, insignia,
jewel or badge of recognition of
any society, lodge guild or as
sociation, fraternal or otherwise."
At one time, there were some
mock pinnings oi the Nebraska
campus. In whatever manner the
law is interpreted, this is indeed
a flagrant violation of Statute
28-1200.
Fraternities were established on
the campus 35 years before the
law was passed. The Legislature
of 1905 undoubtedly thought making
such arrangements as indefinite
pinnings illegal was the only way
to curb the harem-scarem younger
generation.
Sages on campus have predicted
that pinnings will fall off at an
alarming rate because of this start
ling discovery. They also see in
dications that class attendance will
take a decisive upswing in the
spring, because no one who is
law-abiding will be pinned. Prac
tically nothing is sacred anymore.
Exhibits Planned
For Ag Program
Among the exhibits and demon
strations which will be featured at
the Ag Days program scheduled
to begin Friday will be a horizon

Nebraska Blue Print
meer inn College Puhli
shes tlonHmy
By SABS JELGERHUIS
Staff Writer
A publication that is hardly
nown beyond the College of En
gineering is the Nebraska Blue
Print. This magazine is put out
by the students of the College of
Engineering and Architecture.
" The staff is headed by John Ras
musson general mamager; Wil
liam I. Neef, editor, and Barry
Larson, business manager. Paula.
Eroady, associate editor, is the
enly woman on the staff. She gives
the woman's view concerning the
world of engineering.
The staff Includes Roger Berger,
Victor Musil, Don Smith, George
Andreason, Ross Brown, Jerry
Krause, Kazys Alminas, Armand
Matthews, Bill Eittinger, Jeff Hod
der and Roy Boyd.
Top position holders on the new
staff which will take over at the
semester are Willian Neef, general
manager, Don Smith, editor, and
Barry Larson, business manager.
Blue Print comes out monthly
and contains 48 pages with
approximately half the space de
voted to advertising. William Neef
stated that in the last few years
there has been an increase in ed
vertising due to an attempt by in
dustry to attract more students
into entering engineering as a pro
fession. While thumbing through the
magazine, the uninitiated might
easily be lost in quartz crystals,
tapered roller bearings and zinc al
loys. A picture of a wind-tunnel
appears much like a huge spider
kicking its legs to the tune of sev
eral rumbling motors to liberal
arts students, while others see in
it a wind tunnel that operates at
speeds from 530 to 990 miler per
hour and at pressures ranging
from one-tenth to four atmos
pheres Although most of the articles
concern professional and technical
topics, there are some for the lay
reader. In the October issue an
atticle, "Science Slows the Speed
er," told about new radar control
led speed zones. '
The policy of the Blue Print Is
to have close cooperation with the
Nebraska Engineering Society. The
Blue Print has been the official
organ of the Society since the found
ing of NES in 1937. Notices of
meetings, news kerns and mes
sages from the president are all
included ir. the magazine.
Another recent policy of the Blue
Print is to send one magazine
each month to the 500 high schools
in Nebraska in an effort to en
courage high school students to con
sider the profession of engineering
as a career.

OBVIOUSLY, THE TITLE of the above Droodle is: 47
insectology students enjoying better-tasting Luckies
while studying 3 fireflies. All kinds of students are
bugs about Luckies. Matter of fact, college smokers
prefer Luckies to all other brands and by a wide
margin according to the latest and greatest of all
college surveys. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies
taste better. They taste better, first of all, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco
is toasted to taste better. "Ifs Toasted"' the famous
Lucky Strike process tones up Luckies' light, good
tasting tobacco to make it taste even better . . .
cleaner, fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better-tasting
cigarette . . . Lucky Strike.
