TITE DAILY NERRASKAN, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 22. 1937 PACE THREE Societu By Johnny Howell Quarterback anil Mary Anna Cockle JOHN HOWELL' AS JOHNNY SEES IT. With a multitude of sighs, the heckled nurses of Lincoln General bid me goodbye yesterday morri '. lng, and I'm on my way to pick up a little more of Nebraska's i social goings on for this alleged i column. First I must express my gratl ' tude to Mary Anna of the blue eyes. 1 understand that she tried tor several days to get the num 1 ber of my hotel room so that she might send a few pansies to cheer my troubled soul. It's true senti ment, Mary Anna, even though the flowers didn't arrive. I'm troubled with hay fever anyway. You know, Mary Anna, when you I get the slightest bit huffy your : eyes really; pack a wallop. So ' there, Looking thru the pages of the latest Esquire, gratis from Ma- gee's, I got a terrific blast from page 147. And It was no cartoon such as Esquire is wont to splat ter thruout the mag. On the other hand, it was a picture of our Sam Francis modeling a pair of shorts, Grippers to be exact. In type that was by no means small the ad emphatically points out that "Ram Francis Wears Grippers." The real beauty in the ad was the contour of the great Francis' legs. I think I'll write Sam and suggest model ing for Shave-Um, the hair re mover which all great lovers use Tonight we leave for Columbia that cheery little berg of sophisti cated dancing and beautiful coeds, My next, column will originate from Columbia and I'll attempt to describe the socializing there, if TYPKWHITIiltS All standard makes for sale or rent.

AS MARY ANNA SEES IT There's a story that goes the rounds about the last University Players performance. It seems that the tea used on the stage was water doctored up a bit with a few slices of lemon. Some . one re marked toward the end of the week that the water hadn't been changed for 3 days. "Well it's wet, isn't it?" was Speed Mueller's de fense of the beverage. Then too there's the tale about the time some of the players put on a special show at the reforma tory. Helen Elizabeth Lawrence, now Ames, one time quite the popular gal around these parts and still a dazzling blond had one of the leads in the play. Someone in the company overheard one of the boys in the audience as he nudged another reformer. "That's the girl I'm going to look up when I get out," confided the inmate. SOME CO-OPERATION. Chuck Tanton, who has lost his Kappa Sig pin to a Tri Delt in Washington, D. C, and Mary Marnell, Thela pledge who still wears a Kappa Sig badge from the Stanford chapter are planning to get together and stage a candy passing just to satisfy their res pective houses. . THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT. The Delta Gamma pledges gave a tea for the other freshmen on the campus last Sunday. Three of their upperelHSHinen Jane Bar bour, Margaret Johnson and Jane Dimery di eased up in their best Sunday clothes decided to crash the party. Tney arrived via the front door, went thru the whole receiving line and were even served by pledges. All the rest of the chapter were Just furious because they couldn't nreak up the affair just to punish their fellow actives. OUTSTRUTTIN' THEM. Dates to the Saturday night show at the Stuart will be pome thing to look forward to. Lincoln's own colored couples will be given the chance to do a little truekin' themselves and show that they can even outstrut dancers of Holly wood fame. For you devotees of the Big Apple, here's your chance to witness something new and differ ent in stage shows. LATEST ADDITION. The latest edition in the way of fraternity pins at the Alpha Thi house is the new Phi Delt pin now chained to Billie Sickel's Greek letters. It all happened last week, and the donner is Tom Minier. SHALL WE DRESS? Dave Bernstein, Irving Yaffe, Norman Bordy, Morris Lipp and Ray Brown, who are going to the Missouri game and plan to stay at the Sammie house there, have been debating all week on a mere point of etiquette. The trouble seems to be that the formal season has already started at Columbia, and tails happen to be the rule. Now in that case, would the well dressed young man appear in tux or should he go sport? They've settled the argument, tho, and are leaving their tuxes at home. PAGING MISS PASCOE. Burr Ross showed his true devo tion to Peggy Pasroe when he called her long distance way from Knoxville, Tenn. last night. There couldn't have been more excite ment at the Chi O house if some one had set off a bomb. TURNPi Weekend Social Spotlight Turns on "The Idle of the Air Lanes."

It's Jan Garber, di rert from the Hotel Gibson In Cincinnati, with orie of the nation's foremost swing orchestras. Garber rerentlv finished a lengthy engagement at Mr. Wrig ley's exclusive haunt on Catalina a island, just off the coast of Cali fornia.

The Sigma Chi'R went hunting Sunday. There were 8 of them, and they brought back enough pheasants for the whole Sigma Chi house and then some. In fact, the boys were all invited and even three guests for a spread Tuesday evening. And the most fortunate part of the whole affair, was that every one of the sportsmen had licenses. I'll bet you can't tie that one with any fish story. Chnnnq.

"The West in Early Days" is the title of the present display in the Library hall compiled by Miss Clara and Miss Ruby Wilder from the library's collection of valuable rare old books. The volumes usea n the exhibit were written before 1800. Ponular In that day were com bined emigrant's guides with de scriptions of the country and In dians. Included in these is "West ern Gazetter or Emigrants' Direc tory," written by Samuel R. Brown in 1817. It is described as "One of the earliest and best guide books devoted principally to the Wesi. This was followed in 1837 by the New Guide for Emir nts to tne West" by J. M. Pec, a Baptist minister and the first official his torian of Illinois. In 1854 Edward Everett Hale mi Wished "Kansas and Nebraska, an Account, of the Emigrant Aid Companies and Directions to emi grants." Mr. Hale was also the nnthnr of "Man Without a Coun try." In addition he is remembered here as delivering a commence ment address for the university graduates of 1897. Also falling into tne emigrant guide category are J. H. Colton's Traveler and Tourist," ana l.. w. Dana's "Garden of the World or the Great West Boston." The lat ter obtained part of its informa tion from the experiences or &am Houston. A few fiction books of this pe riod are also exhibited. One is Mrs. C. W. Kirkland's "Western Clear- ings," one of three novels written from actual experience, as she "lived for six months in 1RU5 sixty miles from Detroit in the heart of the forest." Mrs. Kirkland is de scribed as the "most notable writer of fiction portraying life in middle west before 1841. Records of Journeys constituto the greater part of literature dis played. Among these books is "Narrative of an Expedition" by William H. Keating, professor In the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the famous Long expedition. In the volume he stresses geology, zoology and bot any as well as customs and lan guiiges of the Indians. Other Itineraries are "Three Years Travels Throughout the Inte rior of North America for More Tha.i 5,000 Miles," by Jonathan Carver, including an appendix de scribing the uncultivated parts of Ameriea; and "New Travels in America" by J. P. Brissot De War vllle, an associate of Marquis de Lafayette. The content of the lat ter is a description of life and com merce in western America, west ern, In his day, meaning; Kentucky and Franklin. Alphonso Wetmore's "Gazetteer of the State of Missouri" publlshod In 1837 was the first important gazetteer devoted to that state. It contains some western dialect sketches of unusual value, and its humor and lightness of tone is un usual In early western writers. "Each generation has it own kind of literary measles." So says Dr. J. D- Ferguson, professor of English at Cleveland college. Cribbing: Tops Ingenious Modes of Grade Getting (Continued from Page 1.) into the examination room non chalantly nibbling on a banana. He takes a seat near an open window. (There are always open windows.) When the test papers are passed around, he copies down the questions of whose answers he is ignorant, finisl.es the banana, and coolly and calmly pui? the questions in the banana peel &', tosses the latter out the window. There a partner in crime looks up the answers. These he gives to an accommodating Western Union messenger boy who hands them to the test-taker upon pretext of de livering a death notice. The cycle is completed, the pro fessor gets his answers and the student gets the grade. Some ob servers of the system at work have suggested it would be more ap propriate to have a Santa Claus deliver the answers instead of a messenger. Cribbing Most Popular. Cribbing, the most popular method of grade-getting, takes va rious forms. Athletes with pull over sweaters simply put the crib sheet in the cuff around their mid dles. Girls can store a goodly amount of canned information In the tops of hosiery, or inside their purses along with the inevitable compact. Vest pockets, handker chiefs, cuffs of sleeves, all are ex ppllent depositories. Writing on one's hands, generally conceded as a grade school trick, will also do in a pinch, but remember, you dare not raise your hand to ask questions. Some professors seem not to re gard cribbing as cheating at all. "By the time a student has boiled down the information in a course to the minimum essentials which can be contained in a crib sheet he usually has done sufficient otii.K'iniT to nasa" savs one profes sor. "He can crib In my class If he wants." To Professor and Wlsacre Karl Arndt is credited the remark: don't mind your cheating in ex aminations, but I wish you wouldn't fold your crib-sheets In with your test papers it discon certs the reader."

It deals with the appreciation of the cut quality of precious stones. BY ELWOOD RANDOL.
