Icy Weather in Nebraska
Brings Copmann Apology
By LYLE COPMAXX
(Lyle ('npmann editor of the Daily during the second semester
of laM yrar i now a reporter for the Omaha (Xeb) World-Herald)
I apologize for cussing Oklahoma weather during my
umpteen years of residence there
It’s no trouble to reverse your convictions when you’re
thigh deep in snow
And another apology: I never
mrant those mean things I nij
about Oklahoma air
Comparatively speaking Okla-
homa City smog Is purer than fil-
tered zephyrs
Omaha Nebraska where I feed
' my face by working on the Omaha
World-Harald is the stockyard
crossroads of the nation -
Here you can put a pan of water
outside on a smoggy night and
have beef broth in the morning
We Oklahomans are meat for
politicians np lierr Seems
Omaha's mayor-ago was a Soon-
er But when hr ran for a sec-
ond term a whispering' cain-
luign about his Oklahoma youth
breezed through eager Cornhusk-
rr cars
Despite his popularity in office
he didn't win re-election and I
don't intend to run for mayor
Just the other day a man asked
me how it felt to live where there
are no Jim Crow laws
I confessed that it is a treat not
to be discriminated against I have
already satisfied my fondness for
lounging on the back seat of a
bus without fear of the driver ask
Reader
Incensed
Editor of the Dally:
After reading your column "Con-
fessin” this Saturday on cheaters
I could not understand how your
paper could print such a degrad-
ing article without any visible rea-
sons and without any visible con-
clusions after your paper refused
to print my ad 1 am enclosing a
copy of the ad which I' am still
very serious about
1 have hern done an Injustice
and have been kept from reach-
ing a desired end which might
liave made me 8200000 richer
Your paper might as well have
taken the money right out of
my pocket
"Confessin” caused much embar-
rassment to all coeds Saturday and
all of them should let you know
what a rotten thing you’ve done
How’ about writing an article on
shoulder pads used by metl to
give the coeds something to cheer
about
How in the world ran yon
print such artlelea and refuse to
print my ud after I had paid to
hare it printed? I did get my
money hack but this did not
help me any
Something should be done and
by rights you ought to either pub-
lish this letter mblish my ad
or write me a letter explaining
why you can't do either
Joseph K Bntsavage
Editor's Xote: This ain't no
gag Mr Butxavuge Is a real
freshman enrolled in university
rollrge He says he will marry
any woman who will drpotit
$200000 in arrount under his
name Ills name is In the univer-
sity directory
Psalm for Finals Is Grim
Editor of the Daily:
Because of - the forthcoming
events I hereby present—
A ItUIJi FOR FINALS
The Rrlndestone tumoth and as
St turneth so shall thy nose be
pressed against it
For vrrily I say unto you the
Time mmelh and now Is when
Finals shall hang o' thy head
and Doom shall await those who '
passeth them not
Heed Thou the Words of Him
whq Is called Professor This Man
la one who elttclh up at lata hours
burning the oil of midnight pre-
! siring for the morrow's quit And
le has said unto you "Go thou
and do likewise”
Heed not the call of the Usurper
of Studious Habits — Vacations Go
not into the World of Dalliance
ing me to move to the front of the
car vwase
Speaking of discrimination the
American Legion is putting up a
squawk here
Recently city police ordered
all payoff slot machines crap
tables and other gambling equip-
ment removed from the Legion
Club
The custos morum of Omaha ve-
terans didn't take the rebuff lying
down A delegation met with city
officials and said that since Iowa
clubs - just across the Missouri
River from here operate wide open
the Omaha club "is being discrimi-
nated -against”
At the moment the Legionnaires
are fighting A‘l the'- must do is
convince the police that gambling
is okay if vouVe a veteran And to
he repealed are a city ordinance
a state statute and the state con-
stitution Before I sign off can you manage
me a press pass to a student meet-
ing for next term? From the re-
views I've read the senate is ri-
valing "Uelizapoppin” for a comi-
cal show — and whaita long run!
Duo Analyzes
Dream Symbol
Editor of the Daily:
We were interested in the guest
editorial ' entitled “Young Writer
Discovers Bad Dream” not only be-
cause of its ideological surface but
also in-view of certain more sub-
tle implications grasped through
an interpretation of the "dream
symbolism” -
In view of these deeper con-
' notations the title "Bad Dream"
seems very apt We hope we will
not offend the writer by our
analysis 'of her “orgy of home-
sickness": she should at any rate
recognise that the drram-worhl
is rejected by the conscious it
expresses none the less a more
real volition than the acts of the
conscious '
Let us first list some of the more
symbolic expressions which - she
has perhaps inadvertantly em-
ployed "The rich are leeches" —
an echo of Baudelaire In the sleep-
ing mind “I grinned and tucked
(the pamphlet) in a drawer (!)
and went to bed "thinking about
curtains" Ferruginous curtains'
Cf “Like one who wraps the drap-
eries of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams"
Note the concealed death-wish
here There is also a wealtlTof sug-
gestivity In the phrase "come back
to instinct” especially when linked
with the dreams of childhood
which are the strongest and health-
iest In conclusion we comment that
it is Indeed strange that Miss
Morgan has "ignored what was ob-
vious" Ben Allen Bark
Jim Lyday
Editor's Note: The writer is not
offended by your analysis We
and Laziness but turn again unto
the Books of Knowledge and Halls
of Learning ere thou shalt lie
caught with the coverings of thv
lower extremities at half-mast and
thy posterior anatomy exposed to
the elements
The Days of Beauty and K'ghts
of Loveliness wax and wane as
docth the Moon but Finals go on
forever
The Blacker who stealrth forth
In the Night with an empty
Head and a fvll Belly shall not
long endareth ImL shull fall by
the wayside while lie who ap-
plleth himself unto his Work
shall gain Knowledge and be
railed “ Scholar" henceforth
MORAL: Only one more studying
day until finals M II Aldrrson
Inquiring Reporter
That’s What
YOU Think
Why did (or didn’t) yon sign

blo Colorado— "I’m out of state
and I'm not old enough"
Joe Shaw sophomore from Elk
City— “My families agin’ it”
Frank Heaston senior from
Chickasha— “I signed it because
America is still a land of demo-
cracy and I believe in giving all
the people rather than a few pres-
sure groups the right to make
such an inqwrtant decision” -John
Godfrey junior from Clin-
ton — “I signed so I can get whis-
key and Oklahoma can get more
taxes”

ca City — ‘‘I don’t have- any classes

were interested in her guest edi-
torial too Her ability to project
her subconscious to put a wealth
of suggestivity” In her writing is
one of the secrets of her success
as a contributor to popular fiction
markets
In Miss Morgan’s case the in-
clusion of "subtle implications"
and the use of "symbolic expres-
sions” is also the result of careful
effort In the long labors of learn-
ing creative writing

In LawtolrtUo papers are competing for readers Me I’m
a Constitution man As of Sunday
I waited in an Oklahoma Citv hotel lobby for a half hour
Began thinking they'd forgotten to come
I wandered aliout the lobby try-t
ing to look business-like and keep
the same seat for more than two
minutes at a time Finally some-
one said:
“Are you by chance Paul?”
"Yes sir!” I assured him
There were three of them We
walked into an elevator I didn't
know whether to go in first or
last Wp climbed up
In the hotel room I stammered:
"Well I brought some papers if
you want to look at them"
Jerry and I had spent until 3 ain
sorting out some papers They
were in perfect order They said
they'd looked at the papers Ned
Shepler my new boss said he sub-
scribes to the Daily gets one every
day
I cleared my throat
“I was born” I stated confused-
ly' “Well I ” "
“We’re just one big family on
the Constitution” Mr Keough ’i-
terrupted - “If one of us has too
much work to do the others help
him out”
