My way of perpetuating
column which nmdo tin campus
debut liiHt fall, and to avoid tho
labor of thinking of a now one,
we uho tho above title, and em
bark upon a columnlsttc career
with many misgivings. Wo should
like to think wo would, in th
courHO of such a career, collect an
many private club cardH ns did
Louis Sobol, New York columnlHt,
but wo know we won't. Tho best
we ever did wan get a phhh to a
muny golf links onco for "bearer
and family."
Last Saturday morning a
French movlo was presented at
a local theater and several of
tho local citizenry wero no littlo
annoyed by a young oaf who
indulged himself in hearty horse
laughs during tho love scenes of
tho film. These scenes were
hardly of tho headlong typo so
popular with American fans.
They wero, instead, more bu
colic, reminding one of a swing
In tho back yard, lilac bushes,
and crickets in tho dusk, etc.
This lost generation has fled,
alas, on love scenes of rumblo
seats, country club verandas,
lonely golf courses, and such,
with a heavy accompaniment of
alcohol.
Campus wags arc now provided
with a new outlet for tho convivial
impulses which so often move
them to call girl friends and im
personate tho dean of women. On
tho Kosmet Klub office door, is a
sign, neatly lettered by President
Bobby Pierce, announcing office
hours. At the bottom of the sign,
it soys that one can call F-3338
for ''information." Just what in
formation is available nt F-333H,
Pierce wouldn't soy. Incidentally,
as ho strode around the office with
his mouthful of carpet tacks re
pairing the place, he mumbled out
of the side, gangster fashion,
"Well, boys, I guess 1 got wot it
tacks!"
Wo see by the Associated
press that a Chicago psycholo
gist advises parents to attend
prize fights. He maintains that
the emotional stress of a prize
fight allows them to release the
pent-up effects of countless irri
tations which they surpress for
tdc sake of their children. That
may explain why a blonde we
saw sitting beside her husband
at a wrestling match a few
weeks ago was screaming, "Kick
him in tha belly!" And it might
explain why the former Alice
Eeckman and her husband were
at the same match. If so. why
were Gene Pester and El Farrell
there
Vclnia of the Moon, without
whom our days would bo dull in
deed, wised the other day that she
has at her house a bed in which
George Washington did not sleep
once.
There arc certain events which
provide story tellers with swell
backgrounds on which to build.
The topic of current interest which
fits these purposes is the well
known blizzard of '"88," and a bar
ber, as one might guess, offers
the best yet. He tells of how he
fought his way home thru the
storm with his father. He then
adds that the rest of the children
stayed at the echoolhou.se because
their parents had phoned and
asked that they be kept there.
(Yes, it bad to be explained to ns
that there were no telephones in
country schoolhouses in 1888).
We hereby endow a foundation
for tho reward of somebody who
will offer a swift and sure pun
ishment for those persons who
stride vigorously up to one on
mornings such as we have en
joyed recently, and chirp, "Well,
is it cold enough for you?" It is
just such people who change
their gag for summer to, "Hav
ing any trouble keeping warm?"
(Excuse us while we gnaw on
the desk quietly).
We notice that collegiate hu
mor magazines of the country con
sider William Randolph Hearst
fair game any time. Tho C. C. N.
Y. Mercury is particularly bitier,
the Harvard Lampoon beautifully
satiristic, the California Pelican
outspoken, and the Stanford Chap
arral robust. Incidentally, it is in
teresting to watch jokes make the
rounds of the mags. Such sheets
as the North Carolina Wautagan,
Arizona Kitty Kat, and Iowa
Frivol have fathered more shady
ones than any others.

fine tradition and should serve to
promote a continuous Interest in
the university," said Dean T. J.
Thompson. "Special honor on this
day should be given to the regents
who havo served the university,
and to those professors who have
been concerned in the development
of the university over a long period
of time, particularity those on an
emeritus stutus."

OF
CHARM SCHOOL TOPIC
Girls Hear Mrs. B. E. Moore
Discuss Place of Art
In Home.
Approximately 100 girls were
present to hear Mrs. B. E. Moore,
head of the picture department of
Miller and Painc's department
store, discuss the value of pictures
and their place in the home at the
regular meeting of the charm
school hobby group held at Ellen
Smith hall last evening.
Opening her discussion by point
ing: out the importance of proper
homo decorating, the speaker con
tinued by explaining that the gen
eral trend at the present was to
choose pictures which fit into a
home according to tho type of the
house. She concluded this idea by
stressing the modern trends in pic
tures. Three Types Displayed.
Three dosses of pictures were
displayed for the audience in illus
tration of Mrs. Moore's lecture.
Explaining in detail the various
types of etchings and the manner
In which they were made, the
speaker continued by pointing out
two additional types of pictures
which would be found in a well
furnished home. These included the
class called engravings and nu
merous types of prints.
Thruout the discussion the
speaker repeatedly pointed out and
illustrated the importance of se
lecting frames which were suit
able for the picture and which were
able to bring out the true beauty
of a painting.
In concluding her speech, Mrs.
Moore declared, "It is more essen
tial to have the proper pictures
on the wall than to have up to date
furniture in one's home.'

MUSICAL COMEDY
Dramatic Club Picks Play by
Chaunccy Barney for
Spring Show.
" Southern KxnnMii'e,' u

as Kosmet Kluli's 11): ! spring
show, President Cob Pierce an
nounced following a meeting yes
terday evening when the play wan
chosen.
"We sincerely believe that tho
show will lend itself very well to
fine music and extra costuming,"
Joe Iverson, alumnus member of
Kosmet Klub and director of tho
show, declarer! alter studying tho
script. "We expect to make It out
standing among the plays thai
have been presented by tho Klub."
Consisting of an all-male cast of
about 40, the play will be staged
at the university Temple at a date
to be announced soon. It will be
the twenty-second of ils kind pro
duced since 1911. Negotiations
arc being made to take the show
on the road following its appear
ance in Lincoln, according tn
Pierce. Hastings, Grand Island,
Columbus. Fremont, Omaha, and
Uoatriec are now being considered,
and organizations in those places
are being contacted.
The committee that chose thn
play from a list of nine competing
for the $50 prize awarded to tha
winner consisted of Garlow, Pierce,
Schwenk, Schmidt, race, Iverson,
and Dr. Ireland, the latter having
charge of the music.
"Although four of tho plays sub
mitted were of a superior quality
that would insure a successful pro
duction, the Klub chose 'Southern
Exposure' because it will afford
opportunity for better costumes
and music. The decision to tako
the show on the road was not
made until the play was proven
worthy of the trip, and we're sure
this production will make as big a
hit with outstate audiences as it
will with students."
