SONG FOR REV EW
Prejudice at tlio
Supreme Court Foriim.
It was somewhat surprising and
gratifying to note the number of
law students, relief workers, pro
lessors and jest people who
brought their prejudices to the su
preme court forum of yesterday
morning. For surely no one dales
to hope that such affairs do more
than confirm previously conceived
opinions. Law lads Kobbie Bulger
and Jack Lyman admitted they
came with minds made up agin it;
'John Groth said afterwards that
ho was "still a democrat." And
Breta Peterson voted for her Dad's
side of the issue before the de
bate. Prof. Arndt who doesn't be
lieve in ANYTHING, sat through
'all the fuss in his reclining nihil
ism. Of course not everyone was chip
shouldered. Rassler Jim Knight
grinned widely and impartially.
Paul A men's white Olympic sweat
er did not quite distract his at
tention from the speeches. Dr.
Alexis told our blundering self
shortly that he was "not a stu
dent." And Gayle Courtney Wal
ker could smile benignly at the
discus-heaving delivery of Speaker
Lawrence and the furious blush
ing of imposing Speaker Peterson
while back in Sosh his journalism
sophomores sweated over one of
his S. O. B. tests.
' By Another Name.
Ed Steeves, who divides his
time between oracularizing the
sports world and running a bit
of a candy store, tells us that
there is a consumers complex
surrounding sales of "Forever
Yours" bars. Men and women
alike point to the sweet in the
how case and ask for "that
bar." No one wants to commit
himself or herself nowadays.
God Helps Those.
Shotgun Remington, billed by
the society writers as "everybody's
friend," is in truth the getting-around-edest
gent wo know. He
is a palsie walsie with all the pco
plo that count cops and such
and knows some better folks be
sides. This is accomplished through
the Remington policies of initiative
which beats the angels' fearing
school all to hclLOf this we were
permanently impressed when Kit
Cornell was in Lincoln with "The
Barrett's."
It seems that Mrs. McClintock
hired a car, in which she pur
posed to sec the town. As it
stopped for the actress before her
hotel, Mr. Remington expertly
opened the door of the limousine
for her, deftly seated her, closed
the door and calmly climbed into
the front seat with the chauffeur,
l&nd so Shotgun nonchalantly went
riding with one of America's
greatest stars because he beat op
portunity to the door.
Tests Technique.
Her father very recently dem
onstrated to the campus the
power of intellectual appeal. Her
mother is known socially to
countless campus personages.
But she, an outstandingly dra
matic person, excells in emotion
al influences. At final time last
semester she was showed under
with back work in the way of
so many busy people, and came
to a lit exam meagerly prepared.
It took her a very short time
to realize that she could answer
few of the questions. So her his
tronic talents asserted them
selves. Removing her makeup and every
vestige of joy from her counten
ance she approached the instructor
in his office. She had got up from
a sick bed, the throes of the flu.
to take the test, and now she felt
so wretched that she jusl couldn't
go thru with it. The professor add
ed his tears of sympathy to those
of the young lady, until they were
weeping as kindred spirits to
gether. "You are so ill that you
shouldn't be here at all' remon
strated the teacher.
"Oh but I want to take the test;
I will try again. I feel better now,"
replied she weakly.
"You shculd never have got out
of bed, my dear. I should think
that your mother wouldn't have
let you."
"Oh, but sir. I-I-I haven't any
mother!"

PICTURESQUE
OP ITALY FOR PBK S
Honorary Given Picture of
Improvvisatori at
Dinner Tuesday.
The improvvisatori, Italy's pic
turesque minstrels of the fifteenth
century, were the subject upon
which Dr. R. F. French of the
romance language department ad
dressed members of Phi Beta
Kappa at the monthly meeting
at the University club Tuesday
evening.
Dr. French dwelt at length on
defining the minstrel men as those
professional poets who leisurely
migrated among the Italian prov
inces with improvised lyrics and
poems for court and festival
assemblages.
Minstrels Had Tricks.
"In this gamut from creation
to plain reshuffling, the minstrel
or improvisor was usually near
enough to the lower end so that
one can watch him reshuffle,"
said Dr. French. "He had his
tricks just as our present-day
musicians have in revising tunes
and lyrics."
Reviewing the history of the
lyricists, their rise, contribution to
the world's literature and decline
of their popularity, Dr. French
acquainted his audience with the
many improvisations or stock
tricks employed by the improvvis
atori. Exposes Trade Secrets.
"They had their stock epics and
similies which could be shuffled
in su h a way that they appeared
to be entirely new accounts,"

a city probably three miles long
and a half mile wide which prob

years ago.

It is estimated that probably
less than one-half of the newspa

These clippings totaled 3,785
