Yuriable Trios;
Sox Invade the AP.
In days past there was a very
popular song; on the slightly goofy
side titled "Who Goes In When 1
Go Out?". Wc were reminded of
the ditty at one of the more pop
ular collegiate gathering places
t'other eve.
At 10:05 the assemblage was
stirred by the entrance of Dick
Paul, Harry Everett and Helen
Fox. The vivacious Miss Fox, with
ever a gory eye out for mlscoup-
4 lings or new romantic combina
tions, looked the situation over
very carefully, had her fun and
departed to meet the week night
deadline.
At 10:45 the assemblage was
' stirred by the entrance of Dick
Paul, Harry Everett and Barbara
Selleck. The amiable Miss Solleck
smiled affably, alighted in a cor
ner booth for brief refreshments,
and departed. Parade of the fates.
Two of the brightest boys we
know, Absent Friends, once organ
ized a philological society. Each
evening they would test each oth
er's grasp of the English language
by asking for the definition of
some unusual word. They kept
score miss, one-half credit, score
and with the penny fees from
miss fines planned a party. When
the society came to an early and
untimely end, the score was even,
but the iist of unique words com
piled was really amazing.
A similarly talented gentleman
Is June Butler's Irwin. She tells
us that whenever she answers his
phone calls she goes armed with
pencil and paper, and jots down
unfamiliar bits of vocabulary for
dictionary reference. She meets
the immediate situations by saying
"yes" or "no" at what she hopes
are the right times.
(
"Fortune," once about as
sprightly as the Congressional
Record, has gone zippy on us in
a no half-measure fashion. We
chortled gleefully at an account
of the admission of "Modest
Maidens," a comic strip, into the
, feature stronghold of the staid
Associated Press. The gag strip
(about "sleek-limbed maidens,
often in panties and brassieres,
which is just about as close as
the AP dares to get to sex") was
( being exhibited and discussed at
length in a directors meeting.
When Founder Adolph Ochs,
""heavy and benign," saw the
lamples "he thought the AP was
;oming to an end; but Mr.
Noyes, for 37 years president of
the association, "coughed behind I
his hand and allowed he could I
use the strip in his Washington
Star."
Portia Boynton tells us she is
going to write an autobiography,

Nebraska students received $8.r0.
Receiving the benefits of the NYA
ere 8.r)6 undergraduate students
and 46 graduate students.
A substantial increase in the
amount of NYA employment has
oeen shown this year in institu
tions of practically every section
of the country. Nearly 10 per cent
of the approximate total university
and college enrollment of 1.788,000
are working under the NYA with
98 per cent of the eligible schools
offering this employment.
In the same statement, Aubrey
Williams, executive director, com
mended the cooperation on the
part of the nation's educators. He
expressed belief that fears that the
NYA was an 'opening wedge'
toward ultimate federal control of
the educational syutem have been
completely allayed. The workings
of the schools have been left al
most entirely to the institution's
own authorities was the statement
of Mr. Williams.

Whims of Community Members
Cause State Prep School Heads
To Lose Positions, Study Shows
A study recently made in teach
ers ollege of the university re
vealed that of 75 changes involv
ing school superintendents of Ne
braska. 60 of them lost their posi
tions not for any justifiable rea
son or because of any affirmative
action of the board, but because of
the personal whim or selfishness of
one or two people in the com
munities. Often these people were
not even members of the school
board. "In other words." says Dr. F. E.
Henzlik, dean of teachers college,
"only six of these changes can be
accounted for on a Justifiable basis.
Such a condition merits serious
attention, because it is imperative
that the control of local schools
should always be in the hands of
the board of education acting as
an official agencv. Any situation
which permits under influence or
control by a citizen of the com

GKEEK BALL RECALLS DAYS
WHEN BUSTLES WERE VOGUE
By Howard Kaplan.
Love, pin hangings, program
dances, memories innumerable are
recalled as tho words "Inter-Fraternity
Ball" and "Bernie Cum
mins' rhythmic orchestra" appear
in large type across tho front
pages of the Dally Nebraskans.
Although it has changed in
name and sponsor, it is in purpose
tho same party as was held in
tho university auditorium in 1907.
That year, its first, shirtwaists
were the vogue of the season, full
dress for the occasion. The com
mittees' directions were "the
dance is strictly informal In every
respect: tho only requirement as
to apparel is that of modesty."
The party was a success.
By 1911, the Pan-Hellenic ball
(original name christened the
present day Greek ball) had be
come an annual affair holding a
responsible place in the list of
university functions.
"The Pan-Hellenic ball is the
dance given by the fraternity men
for their Greek letter sisters. The
ball is, by immemorial custom,
the function which seems most
favorable to the transplanting of
fraternity pins." Daily Nebras
kan, May 27, 1911.
So efficient was the committee
in charge of the 1911 party, that

cately, and hinted that this mat
ter had been well taken care of
by tho committee also, in that
suitable retreats would be pro
vided for those desirous of culti
vating the common or garden va
riety of frat pin."
During these early days of the
popular campus affair, its control
lay theoretically in the hands of
the Pan-Hellenic council, but in
reality was staged by a few "cam
pus big-shots" who were members
of five or six of the larger fra
ternities. Concentration of activi
ties in few outstanding men, how
ever, found tho real sponsors of
the party being members of Kos

board. With the dissolution of the
Pan-Hellenic council, came the
transfer of tho sponsorship to
Kosmet Klub in 1912.
The name "Inter-Fraternity
Ball" came into existence in 1926,
probably at the same time as the
reorganization of fraternities re
sulted in the present Inter-Fraternity
Council At this time also
was its inauguration as a formal
party, for in preceding years it
had been held either in the fall or

Speak' at Department
Open House.
Gamma Sigma Delta, honorary
agricultural faculty organization,
entertained 150 faculty members
and juniors and seniors in the ag
ricultural college at the opening
of the new agronomy department
greenhouse, Wednesday evening.
The agronomy department pre
sented speakers on agricultural
topics of current interest. The au
dience was divided into six sections
to hear speeches on subjects which
were of particular interest to the
individuals in attendance.
"Sweet Clover" was the subject
on which Mr. Samuel Garver and
Mr. Manke spoke. Mr. Weible and
Mr. Webster discussed "Wheat."
The related topics, "Corn and Sor
ghum" were discussed by Mr.
Cushing and Dr. Kiesselbach.
The wilt resistance of alfalfa
was the subject of a speech by
Dr. Tysdale. Mr. Clark also spoke
on the subject of alfalfa. His phase
of the discussion included "Alfalfa
Inheritance and Freezing Study."
Dr. Frolick. Mr. Newell, Mr. Fulty
and Mr. Conrad spoke on "Wild
Grasses."
All of the speakers were experi
mental agronomists and members
of the faculty or graduate students.
ONE-TIME FOREST
TRACT BECOMES
INUNDATED AREA
The rampaging flood waters of
the Ohio valley are covering a land
that less than seventy years ago
was 98 percent given over to
forestsv says Dr. R. J. Pool, chair
man or the department of botany
at the University of Nebraska.
This same inundated area is now,
only 37 percent forest covered.
while in the past forty years it
has been severly grilled, washed
and further denuded by water
all of which has been allowed to
continue under the direction of so
called American wisdom, Dr. Pool
declared.
"We have been taking the re
sources nature has given us with
no thought of ever replacing them
or ever once taking into consider
ation the damage that might re
sult from their misuse," Dr. Pool
pointed out. "While forests may
not absolutely prevent floods, they
certainly reduce their frequency
and severity. Similarly, they help
materially to reduce wind erosion
and dust storms.
"For too long a time we have
turned our attention to engineer
ing achievements, all of which
have been of a preventive nature.

Bodies to Contribute
Needed Support.
Flood Contributor
Innocents $25.00
Alpha Tau Omega $25.00
Raymond Hall $17.15
Total $67.15
Joining forces with thousands of
organizations throughout the
United States in an effort to aid
the Red Cross in caring for near
ly a million flood refugees in the
devastated Ohio and Mississippi
flood areas, the Daily Nebraskan
is renewing its plea for flood con
tributions from organizations and
students on the Nebraska campus.
Funds gathered in the campaign
will go immediately to the Lincoln
branch of the Red Cross.
To date, contributions have been
made by three campus organiza
tions and numerous individuals.
Organizations which have added
their support to the drive thus far
include the Innocents and Alpha
Tau Omega with contributions of
$25 each and Carrie Belle Ray
mond Hall with an addition to the
fund of $17.15. Word has been re
ceived that additional organiza
tions and organized houses on the
campus have started contribution
funds, but to date no other groups
have given definite pledges to the
Nebraskan campaign.
Asks All-Student Support.
Emphasizing the fact that it is
necessary for every student to
give his support to the campaign,
no matter how small his contribu
tion, George Fipal, editor of the
Nebraskan declared, "If campus
groups have not started some
move toward giving some fund for
flood relief we are asking that
they attempt to do so at once.
Those who have already collected
contributions are asked to contact
the Nebraskan office in order that
the campaign may be carried out
with the greatest degree of speed
and success."
At present the Red Cross is car
ing for refugees from 175 counties
in 11 states along the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys. One hundred
thirteen field hospitals, 317 hast
ily improvised concentration
camps have been organized in or
der to work at full speed in com
bating disease and providing food,
shelter and clothing for the million
homeless persons. Present funds
will soon be exhausted at the pres
ent rate of depletion, according to
W. M. Baxter, Red Cross director
of the Midwest Area, and unless
further contributions are forth
coming an extremely serious con
dition will result.
Those planning to make campus
donations may do so by taking the
contribution to the Daily Ne
braskan office any afternoon in
the week.

Failure to Fulfill Duties
Of Corn Cob Charter
Charged.
Charged that their organization
is more inactive than their charter
permits, that tho organization is
not fulfilling the duties which its
charter provides, and th3t the or
ganization's cooperation is not de
pendable, the Corn Cobs, student
pep organization, faced student
council action Wednesday that
may result In a death blow to the
society. As the result of a motion
presented at the regular meeting
of tho student council yesterday
afternoon, the workings and ac
tivities of tho pep organization
will be investigated by the judic
iary committee of the council.
Innocents Back Move.
Presented by Bill Marsh, presi
dent of the Innocents society and
student council member, the mo
tion agreed with the opinions of
the majority of Innocents. Mem
bers of the pep organization will
have two weeks in which they may
appear before the juriciary com
mittee and show just cause why
their organization should not be
dropped from the campus.
"We wish to make sure that
everyone realizes that the student
council judiciary committee ia
open for interviews at any time,"
Arnold Levin, president of the
student council, pointed out. "Any
one who has reasons or arguments
in favor of, or against the Corn
Cob organization may appear be
fore the committee at any time.
Failing to Cooperate.
"It is the opinion of the majority
of Innocents." Marsh stated in hi
motion, "that the Corn Cobs ar
more inactive than their charter
permits, that the organization is
not fulfilling the duties upheld by
its charter, that attendance of
members of the pep organization
at basketball games has been very
irregular, and that cooperation
from the organization is not de
pendable." Marsh, speaking in the inter
est of the Innocents society, sug
gested a reorganization of mem
bership in the pep organization.
Believed to be one of many move
ments instituted by the senior
honorary society to clear campus
politics, the motion indicated that
membership to the Corn Cobs or
ganization at present is not gen
erally based upon ability but on
"hand down policies."
"Unless a change is made in the
organization, there is no further
need for its existence," Marsh
maintained.
Web Mills, president of the Corn
Cob organization, had no state
ment to make late Wednesday
afternoon.

of the nation in his field of
sendee."
"In the future annals of Ne

state's first great naturalist.
Whatever successors may come in
that field his position is secure
