Seniors chosen were Paul Beck, Mary Heu- mann, Diana Hoogstraat, Marian Peck, Bob Perelman, Dorothy Rice, Earl Rinehart, Clarence Smith, Homer Starr, and Bill Zimmer. Juniors nominated were Mildred Cunningham, Roberta Green, Phyll Iverson, Annette Klein, Douglas Lindsey, and Byron Oberst. Bob Spellmeyer, June Rose Anderson, Barbara Finlayson, and Roger Boulden, seniors, were elected for a second year. Beginning with a mammoth convocation, the Student Council sponsored a bond drive to reach the goal of $2,000 set for the University stu- dents. A stamp booth was opened at the en- trance to the cafeteria, and Greek and Indepen- dent organizations competed in a bond-and- stamp-seiling contest. Phi Sigma Phi fraternity won. The University was awarded an M flag by the Treasury in recognition of the faculty ' s 100 per cent participation in the payroll bond-buying program. It is believed that the University of Omaha is one of the few colleges and universities in the United States participating so completely in the bond-buying program.

J re 6 lime n . . . t ie ontij la 66 that turned out or it6 picture When they came in, there were more men than women in the Freshman class. When they leave, the proportion will show the effects of the Army, Navy and Marine Reserves. While they were here, though, the frosh showed a spirit of unusual ability and talent, rather than the cus- tomary pseudo-sophistication of the usual green- horn. The fall election went all Greek. Roger Lind- blom, Spellmeyer the second, was elected presi- dent. Pauline Darby, vice - president, Maxine Paulson, secretary - treasurer, proved good stooges for the inactive administration. Most active of the freshman foremen were the Student Council representatives: Walt Graham, Nell Evans, Hazel McConnell, Bill Eller, Orville Mc- New, Marian Ganaros. The traditional skull cap rule was rigidly en- forced during the fall season. The first snow was a mere flurry, so the 0 Club tyrants forced the yearlings to wear their caps till Homecoming, Oc- tober 1 5. A few of the ardent chaps wore them even afer Homecoming — all of which goes to show that they really are a serious lot. Eventually the elite athletes put the deadline at November 1 3. Then the heads were bared — forcibly. Board meetings greeted the tender-heads who still wore caps. On the sports side of the ledger, the frosh came through as the life-saving guardians of the University. The quintet from South came through in fine style till the end of the semester and the Dean. In football, Kenny Bowlin, Bill Cook, Harry Kalasky, Anton Lawry, Jack Roth, Bob Thomas, Leonard Walla helped keep the Hartmenites from total demolition. Kalasky deserved a medal for his yeomanlike replacement of Rog Boulden at center. When it came to basketball, the frosh were again well represented. Lawry, one of the out- standing forwards in the conference, was barred at the close of the semester. Dan Akromis and Jack Roth saw considerable service as the two main replacements from the side. The Green-horns proved their versatility when they virtually took over the student publication, the GAEEWAY. Enterprising writers from the de- partment of journalism were: Dorothy Dever- eaux. Morion Ganaros, Walt Grham, LaVon Hanel, Dick Orr, Bob Rousek, Moe Savich. 6pite uppercla66men, tlietj Ve tL e mo6t poLverf-u I l)uncli on til le campu6 22
