Snooping Around
Students at the University of Nebraska needn't go early to get seats at the football games. They have reserved seats. Students who purchased season athletic tickets in blocks sit in locations drawn by numbers at an official drawing in the coliseum. Groups are given numbers at an official drawing in the coliseum. Groups are given numbers, and locations of their sections are chosen according to the order in which their numbers are drawn. The seats may be just above the box seats—or they may be just below the sky-line, depending entirely on luck.
When Does Ho Study?
Speaking of B.M.O.C.'s — John Echternach, a full-time riveret at North American Aircraft corporation at Englewood, Calif, subscribes
$40 of each weekly pay check to buy war bonds.
When asked how he could do it, he expained, "It costs me nothing to live. I get my room and board for managing the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. You see, I'm also a full-time student at University of Southern California, at Los Angeles."
And just to keep from idling his moments away, John also serves as the salaried manager of the campus humor magazine.
Parents' Have Their Day, Too
The spring Mother's day and the fall Father's day at the University of Oklahoma has been merged into Parent's day, to be held Oct. 24.

Gopher to Appear in March
The Gopher, University of Minnesota yearbook, will make an early debut this year. The release date has been stepped up to March 12 to
keep pace with the University program of acceleration.
In spite of the speed-up in production the yearbook will be as big, or bigger, than last year. Sales, too, are in step with the acceleration with the largest advance sale in history being reported.
Real Babies at Iowa State
Women living in home management houses at Iowa State College get practical training in, you guessed it, caring for babies.
Each of the five home management houses has a baby living in it, in addition to the several women students. The babies are all just a few months old, except Dolores Ann, who has been living in one of the houses since last fall.
Substitutes Tractor For Books
Seventeen-year-old Shirley Hains is NOT attending the University of Maine. She had intended to enroll but when her brother enlisted in the service she volunteered to drive a tractor on her father's farm.
W. M. Kiplinger, noted Washington observer, is a graduate of Ohio State University.
High School Places Thirty-Eight Stars On Service Flag
Thirty-eight stars, representing graduates, former students, and former staff members of the University High School now in the armed services, are on the service flag soon to be on display at the high school, it was announced today by Madison Coombs, principal of the school.
The flag, a gift to the high school by the 1942 graduating class, is being corrected by the Girl Scouts of the school under the direction of Miss Ruth Litchen, supervisor of social sciences. Because the list of the men who formerly attended the school and are now in the armed services is not complete, Mr. Madison is asking that any person knowing of a former student or teacher who is now serving in the armed forces call the school.

Rally Held Last Night At Railroad Station
A small but peppy crowd of students at the Union Pacific station last night cheered the team off to Denver.
After an enthusiastic fifteen minute rally, the train pulled out of the station as students finished singing the Alma Mater and chanted the Rock Chalk. Cheerleaders led the yells, and approximately half the Jay Janes represented their organization.
