ENGINEERING DINNER W4M
By Johnny Howell Quarterback

Mary Anna Cockle
AS JOHNNY SEES IT
Now that the Mortar Board
farty is over for another yeai
gruys and gals can settle down to
endure one more week of drows
ing; through classes until Christ
mas vacation. This year's party
was boomed higher than ever in
the minds of students -who attend
ed. Comparisons with the two
week old military ball seem to
liive the Mortar Board party the
edge as far as good times go.
That's probably because every
body's mind is free from the hor
rible fear that some second lieu
tenant is going to ram about three
Inches of saber into either you or
your date. The music at the party
was good and is pretty definite
proof of somebody's idea that a
good band with no name is better
than a "name band" which is
playing in a half dozen other cities
;;imultaneously.
. .
Sorority and fraternity houses
today are probably the scenes of
continuous breeze shooting ses
sions which should determine what
was original and what was not at
the leap year blowout. One thing
outstanding about this year's
party was the wealth of screwy
headdress gadgets which broad
mindedly were said to be corsages.
The old standby of horse and bug
gy transportation seemed on the
way out with only a couple of milk
wagons on hand. Theta escorts
picked their dates up in a bus and
deposited them at the coliseum
while Kappa pledges arrived in a
body with a police escort of about
six motorcycle cops. We have a
pretty good idea who did the talk
ing on the last mentioned set-up.
She deserves a bouquet for a good
line (and name) because they ted
me that cops usually don't escort
boys and girls to parties. Any
escorting they do takes place
after the party is over.
AS MANY ANNA SEES IT
If experience is the best teacher,
we're all just that much ahead in
the game after this week end. The
girls have indeed had their eyes
opened for one short evening, Fri
day night, and then back again to
the old regime of being escorted
hither and yon, orfly now we ap
preciate it more. It all started
when our dates kept us waiting for
a half hour or so at their fra
ternity houses while we paced the
floor looking jimt a little hot under
the collar. Then when he finally
did appear, most of us saw well
what is meant about not bringing
so much junk to dump in his
pockets.
, Johnny Cvolcott simply stag
gered Vee Louise Marshall by his
dainty little evening bag (a sugar
sack! loaded down with an alarm
clock so he wouldn't be late to
make the 12:30. Charles Norris
went even farther by bringing a
pesky cat on a leash. This, his
obliging escort checked with their
wraps and intermission found
them walking the cat up and down
the corridor for an airing. Tom
Bodlc had to have something to
keep him entertained anil this
time it was a tin alligator that
(luacked or whatever it is that al
ligators do.
And Don Wagner wasn't really
Mushing that much. It was just n
thick coat of paint that made
Marador Cropper simply pale he
side him. Pi-k Kosrnan really
came across and all but did a hula
for us in his grass hkirt. He and
Dick McVey kept everyone well
fed with their leis of dried apri
cots that looked pretty well .
chewed up before the evening was j
over. !
The boys thought it was awfully
rute to make us hold their coats for
them and push heavy doors or
handle difficult waitresses, but
what they don't know is that after
they made us deliver them at the
house by the 12:30 (leadline, we
met the gang at Hotel "D" just
like a regular fellow,
DINNER AT SEVEN.
.Some of the earlier formal and
dinner dances turn out to he quite
the occasion like the Slg Hp din
ner dance at the University club
Inst night. Everything went off
smoothly- a really elegant orches
tra, good food, nnd crested favors.
Mary Flslar wns there with John
Bishop, Ron Douglas and Jean
Willis. Bob Klllot with June Wag
ner, Verne Hawaii escorting Dot-
tie May Pillow Btid John fcroflcld
trucking about with Betty Hillyer.
NICE WORK GAMMA PHI'S.
Their party at the Oornhusker
was all it wag rooked up to he.
How good It seemed to drop 111 an
other Cornhntiker formal and then
dnsh down for a coke at the T. P.
Stopped to talk to their preildent,
Audrey Marshall, who was the
centey of quite a circle of Big Ap
ple kibitzers.
Johnny Wolcott was there again
with Vee Louise Marshall whom
he has presented with a calendar
cha'king up date for all next year.
and Freddie Webster arrived quite
on good behaviour for once. The
climax of the whole affair of
course was the Beta singing in
chain-gang formation or whatever
they call it.
THE SIGMA KAPPA SWING
Everyone seemed in high spirits
at the Sigma Kappa formal at the
Lincoln last night. Nadine Young
was there with Sigma Chi Jack
Mack. Met Betty Lehman on the
stairway and not many steps be
hind her, Acacia Guy Williams.
Betty wore black lace over a rain
bow colored silk and looked lovely
in it too. Couldn't help admiring
th,e Spanish effect -created by
Genevieve Hoff's black grograin
taffeta with its wide scarlet sash.
Preceding their party the Sigma
Kappa's held their traditional Klk
Dinner at the house. About GO
actives and alums gathered for
the occasion which has come to be
a yearly affair at their house. An
Alumnus who now resides in
Wyoming sends them the game
every winter.
BANK- NIGHT
Thursday evening three new
members were pledged at the Delt
house. Keith Baird, Gordon Jones
and Chct Brown were the lucky
men. We might say that business
out their way is picking up. but
then again we'd better skip it.
AND AT THE D. U. HOUSE
The fellows have more or less
roped in another pledge to add to
their big freshman class. This
time it's Warren (Heavy i Day.
Remember him from Lincoln
high?
RAISED FROM
THE LOWLY LOT
Tom Bodic no longer answers to
the call of actives. I'll bet he's the
best sophomore active at the
Acacia house, at least he's the
newest. He was initiated just yes
terday afternoon.

hotel.
Prof. J. P. Colbert was toast
master at the banquet of Sigma

nity. Louis C. Lundstrom, presi- j J
dent of Sigma Tau, gave, the wel- $
come, and was responsed by Kno- :
land Plucknett. The presentation I j
of keys was by Verne Hedge, na- I
tional president of Sigma Tau. Mr g
Blackstone also talked on the Ne-
bra ska engineering law. Brief jit
talks were also given by Dean O.
J. Ferguson, and C. A. Sjogren
national secretary-treasurer of
Sigma Tau.
u. it. nai Kness, assistant pro- i m
fessor of civil engineering, was f(

electrical engineers were John
Freed, Harold Haynes, Neil Stark
ey. Jay Forrester, and Knoland
Plucknett. The chemical engin

Decker, Leo Curtis, Gerald Gillan
and Francis Loetterle. "W. Barton
Berg and Ellis Smith represented

SORORITY PLEDGES
Recent pltdges of Chi Omega,
who also seem to be picking up
new members along the way, arc
Odette Wallace, Betty Jane Fergu
son, and Lila Hillmann.
And wearing the shiny Alpha Xi
Delt pledge pin is their latest ad
dition to the pledge class. Marion I
White. !
IT HAPPENED LAST SPRING.
But it's still worth mentioning.
Phi Gam brother bet Waldo Deck
$10 he couldn't manage a date
with Delta Gamma's Gerry Wal
lace. That aspiring Fiji made
every attempt, and finally bribed
the gal with promises of a dollar
cut. After Gerry had done her
part. Waldo refused to pay. so she
still has a buck coming.
BUSY LINE.
The Sig Alph's, I've heard, are
quite arlept at this business of
successfully calling a sorority
house. One particularly brilliant S.
A. E., after trying the Kanpa
house for a good half hour, told
the operator to clear nil phones
at that house for a most important
call, which she did. He and the'
object of his affections spent half
the evening keeping the line busy,
while nil the girls griped about
expecting a call, to which those
two paid no heed. It can be done.

SOMETHING NEW
IN HOUSE PARTIES
'Die Phi Delt pledges went ex
clusive to the point of gathering
nt Clark F'aulkner'a house for
dancing, nfter nn eventful hayrack
trip. That was one party I didn't
pet in on. but those who were
there are still talking about It, so
looks like thry had fun.
THE MELTING POT.
At the Beta house we weren't
quite as chilly as we expected to
be. The pledges deserved a bou
quet or something for the clever
decorations. The most fun was
watching them construct the igloo
tloor which I waited breathlessly
to see full fin some poor unsus
pecting person's head, but It didn't.

John K. Chapel. WOW an
nouncer, while visiting Latvia as
the guest of President Karl l.'l
manis last summer, had the honor
of being the first American to ad
dress the Latvian nation over the
Riga radio station. At the person
al request of the president and
Visvalds Jankaus, secretary to the
minister of foreign affairs, Chapel
prepared a 15 minute talk on his
impressions of the country. This
incident was recorded by the Lat
vian and English press as unpre
cidented procedure.
A tall story of another type is
recorded by W. O. Wiseman in his
"Didja Know?" column in the "Ra
dio News Tower." a WOW pub
lication. The stoi-y quoted in f'i
runs thus:
"Newest addition to our men
agerie Is a set of jumping bean
quintuplets. We expected to have
a lot of fun with them, but they
wei'e quite a disappointment.
They Just wouldn't Jump, so we
laid them on our radio and for
got about them. Now, this is an
actual fact, so help me! They
never budged until the following
Sunday at 6:22 p. m., when
someone tuned In to the Jello
program. All five of them rolled
over when a certain well known
