THE DAILY NEBRASKA!, TUESDAY. FEUKUAKY 1. 193ft
i nines "' "'""
WE WONDER WHAT
A SWAN SINGS
LIKE.
This is an "owed" to the two
faithful readers of this column
thru .the last year and a half of
Shucks' subsistence. That is, we
hope that we are not too egotisti
cal when we claim two faithful
readers. Our proof that we have
two faithful readers is this: We
know of a fellow over in one of
those aristocratic boarding houses,
known as fraternities, that chews
tobacco. Chewing tobacco, expec
torating is a necessity. Expecto
rating being a necessity, so is a
spittoon. Not being a very good
expectorator, a paper is necessary
under the said spittoon.
Thlt fellow, after trying most
Cf the better metropolis publi
cation!, decided that the Daily
Nebraskan was the best sheet
suited for such duties as a back
stop for the spittoon. Well, you
know how it is; one sits down to
study and then after a few min
utes one's thoughts and eyes
wander to spots hither and yon
In the room. Naturally, this fel
low would be interested in
checking his score around said
receptacle and almost invariably
he would spy Shucks and, with
nothing better to do, read it.
Well, being such a poor marks
man, he necessarily changed is
sues under the cuspidor every
day and thus this fellow turned
out to be our first daily reader.
Savs he, "Next to my spit
toon, I like the Shucks column
best."
The other reader, the other
faithful reader, whs the copy
reader, who cursed daily as he
perused the lines of this pillar.
If there have been any others
who may have glanced at this pil
lar, send your name and address
to this paper along with postifgs.
and you will be sent by return
mail a beautifully shallacked corn
stalk autographed by all those
who picked Minnesota to lick Ne
braska in football. Oh yes, also
send the shclhick.
What we are striving to say is
that this is the swan song of the
Shucks column. It is the hardest
manuscript we ever composed.
Not because we hate to quit writ
ing the column, but because we
never heard a swan sing. Oh,
we're not saying this column may
not pop up at times, but at least
it won't be with you every morn
ing as you dunk your crullers.
For three semesters Shucks has
tried to take you behind the
scenes a bit and tell you what
goes on over in the sweat scente
college or amieuos. perhaps we
have succeeded; perhaps we have
n't. Anyhow our fingers are worn
away up to the first knuckles, bin.
it has been fun. Someone cl.se will
take up the load from here on. If
he has a doting mother, maybe
he'll have three faithful readern.
So long.

ation," Crawford declared, "but
It Is difficult to procede forward
to a reservoir of new ideas."
Following the professor's class
room lecture, Mr. Seabrook spoke
briefly to the students. He said
that he had become interested in
the triplicate theory after reading
Professor Crawford's book, "Think
lor Yourself."
From Fish to Pinther.
"Thinkers have been squabbling
ever since Aristotle as to where
Ideas come from," Seabrook stated.
"It looks as though the triplicate
equation shows the mechanics to
follow In getting new ones."
The triplicate theory Seabrook
termed "as valid as any" and
"damned exciting." The author
was enthouHlaalic over practical
application of the theory, declaring
It as Interesting a game as ana
grams or crossword puzzles. He
was excited about a conception
that he and the professor had
worked out during tho afternoon.
"We started with a fish," he ex
plained, "and when we ended we

Mr. Seabrook left Lincoln last

city he will take a plane for New
York. His first article discussing
Trofessor Crawford's course will
probably appear In May.

Huskers came to life when Amen

ers steadily. The game was char
acterized by rough, screening
plays and produced a couple of
near-fights.
Coach W. H. Browne and his
Cornhusker basketball squad face
the toughest Big Six competition
to date this week in their quest
for a repeat of las season's Big
Six co-championship. The Huskers
meet the Kansas Jayhawks on
Wednesday night at Lawrence.
On the heels of the Kansas con
test comes a game with Oklahoma
university. The Kansans, now in
second piace, are rated with Okla

Big Six crown.
Coach Browne didn't spare the
horses in Monday night's practice
at the coliseum. He sent the Scar

ease up with a light warm-up to
night after which the Huskers will
leave for Norman.

Mid-Year Senior
Gets Individual
Night Ceremony
Named Team Captains
For Event.
Graduating from university at
mid-year time is a very prosaic
matter, there being none of the
pomp and fanfare connected with
June ceremonies. But for one Jan
uary senior this year, Ruth Van
Slyke of Aberdeen, S. D., gradua
tion assumed the time-honored
trappings and a few new ones
through the unofficial efforts of
some inspired friends.
At 8 o'clock last night a little
group of eight persons, attired in
various and strange costunis,
gathered at the spot on the uni
versity campus where each spring
the May Queen is crowned, in the
spotlight, or more literally the
candlelight, was Miss Van Slyke,
the honored graduate, carrying a
beautifully soiled bouquet of pa
per roses. Around her stood va
rious ex-officio dignitaries.
There was Portia Boynton, act
ing as president of the board of
regents. The preVident was a little
pouty during the proceedings,
having expressed the unsuccessful
wish to be Queen ot the May. Act
ing as military escort was Bill
Weil, while Art Ball undertook the
role of chancellor. Lois Patterson
was Ivy day poet, Jimmy Baer
planted the Ivy (frozen but still
bravely green i, and Mrs. Era
Lown explained her part as that
of the "cheering throng."
Miss Van Slyke was the recip
ient of a handsomely pencil- writ
ten diploma giving her such as
sorted degree as Ph. D., W. P. A.,
and T. N. T. A liirge gilded key
was massive evidence of her
scholastic accomplishments, and a
number of chicoliite medals wrap
ped in gold foil were given her
in recognition of "general debil
ity." By the light of the flickering
candit, Miss Patterson stood be
neath torn umbrella, and read
her Ivy day poem written espe
cially for the occasion. Punctuated
by the unrestrained approval of
the others who contributed occa
sional hey, hey's, the poem ran
In part:
"Oh Ivy dHy, oh Ivy day. you
come but once a year,
Except when Ruth Van Slyke
graduates - then hear!
For many a moon she hi niggled,
so very tried and true,
Tho' some days It was difficult,
she never did get blue.
She loved to play, and often was
quite gay,
But most of all she kept In mind
her graduation day.
To humor her graduation we are
all gathered hers,
And Indeed It is a gala time even
though It la cold- brrl"
EXAM AFTERMATH ENDS
IN POETICAL OUTBURSTS
(Continued from Page 1.)
That you are swell.
Now some people go out of the
way to avoid swearing. This some
times leads to unusual circum
stances as in this poem:
It's 9 o'clock
And all's well.
The wind's from the south
And it's hotter than usual.
Some people are always giving
advice. Others are always quoting
the Bible, while still others con
fine themselves to emitting wise
sayings. A moral can be worked
ino a poem very efectivcly like
this:
Early to bed
Early to rise,
And your girl goes out
With the other guys.
Every fellow at sometime or an
other vows that he will write a
suberb drinking song. Often it is
hard to get started so here are two
lines for the beginning or your
next song hit:
Guzzle down your beer
With lots of cheer.
The chief thing to do in writing
poetry is to make it rhyme. It
sometimes happens that we find
some obstinate person who won't
conform, and, therefore, here Is in
cluded two lines Of blank verse
followed with two lines of poetry:
I like ice cream
It tastes good.
The above didn't rhyme,
I'll do better next time.
More poems have been written
about love and women than per
haps any other topic, except possi
bly nature. As with blank verse,
we occasionally find some non
conformist who won't write on the
beauty of women and produce a
specimen of the following type:
"Ha! Ma!" she cried,
And tore her hair,
And waved her cork leg In the
air!
One of the hardest things of all
Is to write poetry In baby talk.
Sometimes a person runs across a
good specimen as this one, writ
ten by a girl:
Don't teep tie tanding on dese
tole teps,
If oo love nie,
Tay toe!
If oo tan't tay toe,
Tweese my hand and tweet me
wuff,
'Twa I tinda like dat tave man
tuff.
