AS JOHNNY SEES IT.
Guys along the row have four
good chances this week end for
mangling their best bib and tuck
ers with D. U.. A. O. Ti. Chi Phi
and Alpha Chi O. formals on the
books. On Friday is the D. IT. J
shindig at the Lincoln and A. O. Pi
affair at the Cornhusker. Satur
day will see the Chi This at the
Lincoln and the Alpha Chi O's at
the Cornhusker. This week, at
least, the frats line up with the
Lincoln while the gals hold sway
nt Cornhusker. Sometimes we
wonder whether a hotel paid chap
eron makes any difference to the
boys.
We seem to be running into a
few interesting letters of late.
Here is another. Paul Weitz, Sig
ma Nu, is stringing along
with pledge Virginia Smith of
Thela. Tlv other day Pnul )e
reived a letter from Virginia's lit
tle sister. Jt said: "We like you.
You better hurry up and marry
Virginia before she gets another
boy friend." Partly as a word of
warning and partly just to make
another sentence we'll add: "If
you want the truth go to a young
ster." Miss Janet quote Dixie unquote
Davis is rapidly getting the repu
tation of being the best sayer of
the wrong thing at the right time
on the campus. This little Chi
Omega pledge kicked the props
from under an anonymous "Char
lie Campus" one day this week.
Speaking of one of her socially
prominent s:rority sisters, Dixie
inquired: "Is taking you
to the Chi Omega formal?" "Yes,"
replied the young man, "but I was
probably the last one she couki
think of to ask." "Oh, I don't
think so,'' returned the little ray
of sunshine. "I only heard her
ask a couple of others."
AS MARY ANNA SEES IT.
It's orchids to the girls, or that
is to the ones who are lucky
enough to rate an invitation to
the D. U. dinner dance tonight.
They're giving their traditional
orchid party which comes only
every three years so it ought to
be quite the occasion. The evening
starts out with dinner at the barn
where tables for thirty-five
couples will be laid in the Great
Hall in "H" formatioon. Thirty
five more couples will be seated
in the dining room. The center
pieces of each table are orchids
and more orchids and the Delta
Oopsilon colors, gold and blue, will
be used to carry out the decora
tions in candles and flowers.
Following the dinner is their
formal at the Lincoln hotel and to
top it all off, they're importing
Anna Mae Wlnburn's orchestra.
Maybe you still remember her
trucking from last year's D. V.
formal. Kitty Adams will be there
of course with Dick Kosman and
Mary Fran Wittera with Carl
Norden, who by the way is one
of the few fellows who looks at
home in tails. Bob Nelson, who
evidently doesn't think Nebraska
girls are the fairest, is inviting
somebody very special froia
j t0 1
Omaha. She's very special
at least because she happens to
wear his D. V. jeweled sweetheart
pin. Bill P.erquist, who has been
in California this year, will escort
Krnie Jones. Do you remember all
the publicity that combination
rated in last year's "Seen on tho
Campus?"
There's one other p.irty on to
night for you who usually do th.
rounds, and that's the A. O. Pi
party at the Cornhutker, and it
really promises to be fun. Doris
Smith and D. I'. Bill Dugan will
prabably divide their time between
ids formal and hers. Kloise Benja
min and Dean Ken, Kleta Sher
wood and Forest Wilkc, Lois
Harpster and Bill Graves and
Kllzabeth Smith anj Glenn P.ldle
will be there together, but then it
would be more surprising If they
weren't. Jean Mcentz, the little
girl who sold the most "S" Mamps
last year, is coming down lrom
Omaha to go so of course Johnny
Bass will be there in all his glory.
Going down the list it seems sort
of hard to find an Alpha O who '
i.sn't going Meady.
And now Howard Kaplan is
complaining because he can't go
to basketball games, and you'd
never guess why. That sartorial
young man finds his wardrobe too
iiiiiiipu jor sucn occasions. 'U
see rlowaru struts a new suit of
tails on formal occasions, and he's
afraid he might be too conspi
cuous. He even tops hut soup and
fish with one of those Dr. Jekyl
capes, and you know that old
saying "when in Rome, do as the
Romans do," so top hatting it to
a basketball game would be over
doing it a bit. It seems that
Howard also has a silk hat which
he can't decide whether o wear.
According to consensus of opinion
nbout the campus, top huts hnve
about a 00-.10 chance for evening
vear. These men and their clothe
problems.
If you sliould happen into the
Sigma Nu house some evening,
JOTEL
d 2iokL
JJoili Dlui Wttt to

you might find the boys gathered
about the victrola trying to pick
up the words of that new record
that seems to be all the rage on
the campus, "In the Shade of the
New Apple Tree." It has nothing
to do with Big Apples and such,
but is as Ed Stecves explained
one of those "clean dirty" songs,
whatever that may be. The words
go something like this, "Grand
mother blushed when grandfather
spoke etc., etc." Well you'll just
have to hear it some time for
yourself to get the full effect.
People tell me that when Bob
and Jim Armstrong came back
to school after vacation, they
brought a little red-headed boy
with them, mid the most embar
rassing part of it is that the
youngster insistently refers to Jim
as "daddy." So far i haven't found
an explanation for the whole deal.
I only know what a little Pi Phi
pledge, told r.ie.
l. o
It's a goo.i thing my motto
i.sn't to print nothing but the
truth becuuse I'd have some
lengthy explaining to do. Virginia
rederson. Alpha Phi pledge, was
rather surprised to say the least
when she arrived from California
the other day to hear tho whole
campus was talking about her
new diamond, which incidently
she does not have. Now the thing
that worried Ginny as it might
anyone else in her predicament
was the fact that the telephone
just hasn't been ringing for her
ever since. After all, what fellow
wants to spend nerfectlv rood
time escorting an engaged woman
hither and yon? So for her sake
let me inform you that to date it's
only a Delt pin.
I've heard that several sorority
girls (I'd blush to tell you their
names) resorted to .1 bit of child
ish play yesterday. They had some
leisure time, a telephone and evi
dently the urge to have a little fun,
so the first thing they did was to
call a local dive and ask to speak
to a most prominent and dignified
protestor, one of the deans to be
exact. Whereupon the bartender
paged the prof in rather indiscreet
tone of voice. What is this univer
sity coming to?
I There's nothing more fun than
watching people pose for their Pic
tures, so Bob Langson, who is tak
ing a few candid camera shots at
all the houses ought to have an
amusing talc to tell. Some of his
photographs will no doubt be used
in the 1938 Cornhusker. Have you
ever noticed the assumed noncha
lance of even the most modest as
they prepare for a sitting? Watch
ed a bunch of gals the other night,
and they spent five minutes trying
10 tiecme who should be first.
Things v.e could do without:
People who brag that they never
study for an exam, the horse hide
coats all the A. T. O.'s are wear
ing, these Tliys Ed majors, ank
lets and gunboat shoes on girls
who aren't the type, three hour
labs and eight o'clocks, people who
look just too cheerful in the morn
ing, that seen everything done
everything attitude of some of the
bigger men on the campus, inter
vrnuig umc oeiween weei;enus,

trip for Boyer.
The story is of two exiled Rus
sian aristocrats who are forced to
take jobs as cook and butler in a
Parisian family rather than spend
the fortune entrusted to them by
the Czar. Some of the scenes prove
very amusing. Amos 'n Andy will
be on the program too and will
answer the question of how they
came to create the characters
which have held the radio spot
light for nearly nine years.

Intrepid Writer Delves Into Kealni
of Love, Offers Counsel, Guidance
to Devoted "Followers of Hymen
Now of all time.s there surely
exists the dire need for reading
matter of a frothy, ethereal va
riety. Not only must the porten
tous gravity that precedes mid
year examinations be relieved, but
also now is surely the opportune
moment to cast a few words of
warning to the springtime when,
according to the poet, "a young
man's fancy lightly turn to the
thoughts of love," or in a later
version, "to what the girl? have
been thinking about all winter."
It would be out of place within
the banal pages of the "Rag" to
grapple with a subject so large as
that of Love in its various phases.
Such a theme must be left for the
poets, novelists, and moralists to
dilate upon. It is sufficient merely
to recognize the existence of this,
the most universal the most pow
erful of human passions; our
purpose is merely to offer counsel
and guidance tc those of both sex
es who, under its promptings, have
resolved to become votaries of Hy
men, but who from a lack of the
knowledge of the way to r 'bout
it, are naturally appreh 1 hat
at every step they take may
render themselves lis' lis
conception, ridicule or censure.
In line with Columnist Meyer's
case against the "white spotti
ness" of Nebraska as a school
where coeds are strictly regulated,
we too draw upon the mores of the
past. Our source book is Colliers
"Compute Book of Knowledge"
published in 189H. Included among
the wealth of intellectual material
is a whole section devoted to the
proper etiquette in pursuing the
rather trivial subjects of courtship
and matrimony.
"We will take it for granted that
a gentleman has in one way or an
other become fascinated by a lair
lady possibly n recent aequant
ance whom he is most anxious to
know more particularly. His heart
already feels "the inly touch of
love," and his most ardent wish is
to have that love returned.
Inclination Mutual.
"First, let us hope that the in
clination is mutual, at all events
that the lady views her admirer
with preference, that she deems
him not unv.oithy of her favorable
regard, and that his attentions are
agreeable to her. It is true her
heart may not yet be won; she has
to be wooid; and what fair daugh
ter if Eve has not hailed with
rapture that brightest day in the
springtide of her life?
"She has probably fir.it met the
gintl' iiiiii. at a ball, or other fes
tive occasion, where the excite
ment of the scene has reflected on
every object around a roseate tint.
We are to suppose, of course, that
in looks, manners, and address,
her incipient admirer is not below
her ideal standard in gentlemanly
attributes. His respectful ap
proaches to her, in soliciting her
hun.1 uc tj rurtnf.r in the dance.
, ila,. ri.-.t ui,,.p,i r,n her

j towards him.
Mutual Feeling Crows.
"This mutual feeling of interest,
once established, soon grows by
I what it feeds on. The exaltation of
! the whole scone favors its devel-
" ' - .
"Whatever may eventually come
of it. the fair one is conscious for
the nonce of being unusually
happy. This emotion is not likely
to be diminished when she finds
herself the object of general attention-accompanied,
it may be,
by the display of a little envy
among rival beauties owing to the
assiduous homage of her admirer.

The gentleman's ardor, however,
is not to be thus checked: he again
solicits her to be his partner in a
dance.
"She finds it hard, very hard,
to refuse him; and both, yielding
at last to the alluring Influences
by which they are surrounded,
discover at the moment of parting
that a new and delightful sensa
tion has been awakened in their
hearts.
Stop, Look, and Listen.
"We urge the gentleman before
he ventures to take any step to
wards the pursuit of this object, to
consider well his position and
prospects in life, and reflect
whether they are such as to jus
tify him in deliberately seeking
to win the young lady's affec
tions, with the view of making
her his wife at no distant period.
Should he rfeel satisfied that he
can procede honorably, he may
then use fair opportunities to
ascertain the estimation in which
the young lady, as well as her
family, is held by friends.
"It is perhaps needless to add,
that all possible delicacy and
caution must be observed in mak
ing such inquiries, so as to avoid
compromising the lady herself in
the slightest degree. When he has
found no insurmountable impedi
ment in his way, his next endeavor
will be to procure an Introduction
to the lady's family."
More to Follow,
Succeeding articles will appear
in the Nebraskan, describing how
best the gentleman can ingratiate
himself into the favor of the fam
ily of his beloved, and also that
course of conduct which the lady
should observe luring courtship.

were reported as being seen on
duty in the war zone by Lieuten
ant Brackelt. C. J. Wertman of
Milford, who was a corporal in the
U. S. radio station, has returned
to the states and is now visiting
in Nebraska. Sergeant Joe Swer
ingen is the other man and once
held down a berth on the Corn
husker varsity football team. He
is still in China, according to Lieu
tenant Brackett.
About 1,100 marines were re
ported as being around Shaighai
before the beginning of hostilities
and there are about 2,500 there
at the present time. When queried
as to whether he had ever caught
a glimpse of China's great leader,
Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek, Lieutenant
Brackett replied, "no." The gen
eral is not supposed to have been
in Shaighai during the siege, hav
ing remained in Nanking to direct
the Chinese defense." And the lieu
tenant declared that on his visits
before the war he is said to have
gone about in native Chinese dress,
making him almost indistinguish
able to the foreign eye from his
many countrymen.
Lieutenant Brackett left Lincoln
yesterday with his newlywed wife
whom he married on Dec. 1.1. After
a brief visit in Chicago, the home
of his wife, he will go to Pensa
cola, Fla., where he will report on
duty in flight instruction at the
naval air station there. While at
tending the university he was lieu
tenant colonel of the cadet regi
