Graduate Sinety
Years Old Today
Nebraska's first woman law
school graduate, Mrs. Alice Mill
nick of Omaha, will celebrate her
ninetieth birthday at her home
Sunday. Mrs. Minnick graduated
from the law school in 1692 at the
age of forty-eight years. Twenty
nine years before that time she
bad been married to Capt John S.
Minnick, and had resided in Ne
maha county.
At ten years of age Mrs. Min
nick, then Miss Alice Lockwood,
first came to the state in a cov
ered wagon and with her parents
settled in Nemaba county. During
the early days of her life In Ne
braska, Mrs. Lockwood experi
enced much of the romance of .pio
neering. At that time many par
ties of Sioux and Nemaha Indians
were frequently seen in this sec
tion of the state.
A few years after she graduated
from the law school she was ad
mitted to the practice before the
United States supreme court. She
is believed to be Nebraska's first
woman lawyer.
During the past few years Mrs.
Minnick has been writing a book
of memories on early Nebraska
life in Nemaha county called "One
Family Turns West.''

Fraternity and Sorority Freshmen
Victims of Numerous Tragi-Comical
Situations During 'Probation' Week
Traditional observance of informal initiation by several
fraternities and sororities of the university has furnished the
setting for ninny ti'Hgi-comicnl situations recently. The initia
tion is still referred to as probation week although such a thing
officially does not exist, it having been banished several years
ago on the Nebraska campus. O
In accordance with the orders
of the Interfraternity Council, fra
ternities no longer may force a
freshman to sit stupidly atop a
stop button fishing in an imagi
nary sea amidst heavy traffic or
to do thin : of an equally ridicul
ous nature before the eyes of the
public. Neither are they subjected
to any rough tactics that are in
jurious as they were in the days
before probation had been abol
ished. Method Amusing.
However some very amusing
methods of initiation are still em
ployed within the chapter houses.
This year, as does every year,
finds new and novel means being
introduced.
In all cases the paddle rules su
preme during "hell week" as the
initiation is termed in fraternity
vernacular. One fraternity gath
ered its pledges before the active
members and required each fresh
man to recite the funniest incident
he could remember. If the actives
failed to see humor in the fresh
man's attempt he was paddled.
Another house seated the freshmen
about the dinner table and secured
each one to the next by short
pieces of thread tied to their little
fingers. They were then given
long marshmallow tongs to eat
the entire meal with. Paddles were
given to anyone breaking the
thread during this tedious eating
procedure.
Variety of Tasks.
The upper classmen showed
their dominance over the fresh
men by ordering them to do every
Student Puzzled as
To Whether or ot
Answer Greetings
There's a student at Nebraska
who doesn't know whether it's
wise to return greetings when a
friendly motorist honks at him, or
not. It got him in trouble just a
few days ago, and here's how.
Somewhat exceeding the speed
limit for north 14th street he
passed the "friendly motorist"
whose car was parked at the curb.
In answer to a vigorous honk said
student shouted "Howdy" and
nearly threw an arm off waving
the reply He diflrt"? notice justjnUst held Friday and Saturday
who he was greeting
But he found out. and got a call
ing card to remember him by. The
"friend" was an official caller from
police headquarters, a member of
the cruiser car squad. He'll look
closer the next time.
Applicants Must Be Girls of
Either Sophomore or
Junior Standing.
Several scholarships of $50 each
will be awarded late in March to

the Lincoln branch, of the Ameri
can Association of University
Women. Applicants must be now
of either sophomore or Junior
standing, registered for at least
twelve hours of work, and must be
wholly or in part self supporting.
In addition to these requisites
women desiring to obtain one of
these awards must have a nign
scholarship record.
Applications and transcripts of
grades or credit book roust oe De
livered in person to Mrs. E. N.
Van Horne, chairman of the schol
arship committee, at Ellen Smith
hall on either Monday, March 12,
or Wednesday, March 14.
Application blanks may be ob

must be sent directly to Mrs. Van

names of four persons. Two of
these persons must be members of
the university faculty, and the
others not connected with the

OHIO STATE SIGNS SCHMIDT
Buckeye Precedent Broken as
Former Husker Seceives
3-Year Corbet.
Francis A. Schmidt, former Ne
braska football star and recent
coach of Texas Christian univer
sity football team, has been ap
pointed director of football at Ob'o
State university for the next three
years, Ohio Slate officials an
nounced Friday. Schmidt breaks
all precedents in obtaining a three
year contract, as formerly only
one year contracts have been of
fered by Ohio State. Schmidt's
salary was not announced, but it
is believed he will receive around
17.000.
He comes t the university com
mitted to a policy of versatile foot
ball, hchmtc'l miu.
We'll adapt j
our game to our material.'' I
thing from cleaning the entire
house to shining their shoes. One
upperclassman was reported to be
wearing a pair of shoes shined
twenty-two times. Some fraterni
ties gave several "fire drills." This
consisted of making the pledges
extinguish a fire by crawling on
their hands and knees and spitting
mouthfuls of water on the blaze
after a graceless journey through
a gauntlet of paddles.
One group assembled their scan
tily attired freshmen in a circle
and leasurely walked around pad
dling each one. Another fraterni
ty required the carrying of all
brands of cigarettes for the use of
the active members.
In the sorority houses the ordeal
was a little less strenuous. It con
sisted in most cases of house
cleaning and like duties. Some for
bid the pledges to use the tele
phones, or to walk with the boy
friend on the street. This explains
why you may have seen a young
lady conversing with a young man
walking several feet behind her.
A baby dinner was given in one
instance and each freshman given
an infant's ration of milk, oatmeal,
and prunes. Another dinner re
quired the girls to wear but two
pieces of clothing. Needless to
say the men wno ordinarily waited
tables had previously been given
orders not to appear that night for
their regular duties.
All is given and taken in jest
and the freshmen are soon to be
rewarded by formal initiation into
the chapter in a few weeks. If
any malice is taken it is reserved
for the freshmen of next year.

Archfoloeioal work in Nebraska through the use of CWA
funds will be started in Cass county near Nehawka as soon as
weather permits, it was announced at the university, following
an agreement between Cass county officials and the university.
Planned for the first project is the excavating and studying of
a stratified village site, where several ancient villages have been
revealed as built on top of eacho
other along W eepmg Water creeK,
Active CWA field work will be
conducted under the direct charge
of Dr. G. H. Gilmore of Murray,
who has been interested In Nebras

Dr. Gilmore located the layers of
villages after the waters of Weep

soil and exposed this as a favorite
living site for many generations.
Dr. Earl H. Bell, assistant profes
sor of anthropology at the univer

At the Nehawka site, explained
Dr. Bell, two very old villages, one
on top of the other, have been ex
posed by the cutting action of
creek water. The lower of these
two sites lies about 20 to 22 feet

ka third to carry out the previous
predictions. Iowa State. Kansas
State, and Missouri finished after
the three leaders in the order

Heye Lambertus, Nebraska
hurdler, was the individual star of
the day, equalling the world rec

hurdles. Lambertus exceeded by
.2 of a second the old mark of 7
seconds he established two years
ago and tied last year. The lanky
Nebraskan finished by a wide
margin over the rest of the field.
Later he returned to the track to
place second in the 60 yard dash.
The mark in the low hurdles was
the only world record tied, but sev

Army Coach Sends
Assistant to Watch
Husker Grid Team
Husker football fans have re
cently been reminded again that
the Nebraska football reputation
occupies a high spot in the nation
al grid picture.
Varsity Grid Coach Davison of
the Army team is sending two of
his assistants to watch two of the
outstanding midwestern teams
practice this spring. One of the
institutions selected for this ob
servation is Nebraska.
Two years ago Henry Fornke,
coach of the Greenville, Tex., high
school team, watched C ach Bible h
team drill throughout the duration
of the spring session. He went
back to the Lone Star state and
the next fall his eleven occupied
the runner-up position in the Tex
as prep school football race. Ha
returned to Lincoln the next year
for the same purpose, and followed
that visit with a Texas champion
Greenville high school team.
When the Huskers open their
annual spring practice period Mon
day afternoon Fornke will be back
observing, and along with him will
be Coach John Pierce of the Cor
sicana, Tex., team, which followed
the Greenville squad in second
place in the 1933 championship
battle.

The more recent village, whirn

The houses found in this village
