THE DAILY NERHASKAN. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 21931$ PAGE FOUR M..rrv Ta ft t iA 'At r.f BY II -U1Mf.lt STEEYES Here we are on page 4. That is, we're on page 4 if this column made the paper this morning. In case it didn't we'll be on page 4 tomorrow. The reason for being on any page is simply this: To get yours and your friend's names in this, the very best campus daily at the University of Nebraska. So, dear reader, you too ran get your name in the paper. Don't let crooked seams in your hose or sagging knees in your trousers keep you from being a well read about person. Simply .hang by your knees from the chandelier at the very next formal, thumbing your nose at the chaperones si multaneously, and we'll be a cinrh to pick up the story for publica tion here within a month or so. In case you don't think you were seen, send lis the complete story or a reasonable facsimile in care of the Daily Nebraskan and we will be only too, to print it. In case you have no knees or there is no available chandelier, any similar coy trick will make the grade. As a postscript we might say thitt an added assurance of get ting the old appellation set in type is to cast a bid or two to your next formal in the general direc tion of the two haunters. Honest, they would be appreciated anil think of the practicability of the ida. Any old soiled bid will lo. So, for further details, read this daily newspaper. BY HAUNTRESS COCKLE SOCIAL EYENTS The first tale involves the ivy twined brick shanty known to most as the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority; known to others ns Kap pa, but known to all. First of all, the Life photographers invaded their habitat in quest of candid shots of true campus life within the sorority. Not knowing exact ly what the true life w ithin a I sorority be like, we couldn't vouch for the authenticity of the "pitch ers." However, we have heard that some were as candid as sweet po tatoes The second tale, too, involves the Kappa gals. It seems late one afternoon the ferns who wear the key broke up all the firebonse bridge games with a frantic call of "fire1" As one girl was ner vously tangling her fingers in the telephone dial in attempt to call out the fire fighters, a good male Samaritan happened in and asked if he could be of assistance. "Yes," she shrieked, "call the fire department!" The trouble, it seems, was a furnace explosion. "What's the matter? Is there a fire?'- asked the Samaritan, somewhat confused. "Yes, you fool, there's a fire in the furnace," snapped the Kappa indignantly. The man said nothing. The next tale happens tomor row along with many more, we hope. So Johnny Howell is going to call back his bloodhound stooges and sit back on his haunches and enjoy life for a whole semester. I once heard that people in our busi ness die young. They either can't stand the gaff or else they're taken for a ride or maybe have their brains beaten in by some really well meaning friend. Johnny seems to prefer the former, while I choose to stick it out until some thing drastic happens. Almost any day now you can expect a short notice in the Rag to the effect that Mary Anna is permanently indis posed and an even more insignifi cant piece in the home town paper. OvCrheard at the Beta house: Jack Barry: Pledge, tomorrow you can go out and polish up that big blue Steudebaker. (The object referred to being of 1926 vintage.) Bob McGuire: Do vou mean the one leaning against the tree out in hack ? Bob McCamphell still blushes when he thinks of the close call he had during Christmas vacation. It was along toward the end of the week and Bob was a bit low on shekels so he suggested a show to ! his date. However, she thought she'd rather dance so there was nothing else for him to do. After the wraps had been checked, dig as deep as he would, there was nothing but one thin dime in our Delt friend's pockets. All evening he worried, hoping he'd run across a friend indeed. It got later and later. People began to leave, but Bob danced on, somehow putting off the issue of eating or hoping the gal would foiget her appetite for once. When the music finally slopped and the poor girl looked worn to a frazzle, Bob fin ally broached the subject of food, and believe it or not, the answer was a weaiv.

"The Beggar Student," German musical comedy, will be the next sound movie to be sponsored by the German department of the uni versity. The presentation in Lin coln is scheduled for Saturday morning. Feb. 5, at 9. and 10:30, at the Varsity theater. Considered by critics one of the most popular musical comedies produced in Germany during re cent years, "The Beggar Student" centers about the struggle between the Poles and the Saxons during the first part of the eighteenth century. Two Way Romance. Berthold Ebbecke, Carola Hoehn and Johannes Heesters play the leading roles in the comedy, which has its settine in the city of Cra cow, in the vear 1704. The bulk of comedy is provided thru a dou ble barreled romance involving two Polish agitators and two daughters of an impoverished, but ambitious countess. The meeting of the four parties had been planned by the Saxon eovernor in revenge for an alleged insult he had received from one of the Polish women. As a practical ioke. the eovernor calls on two young men, who are in jail, and presents them to the ladies as dukes, hoping that love at first sight may result. The governor is surmised to learn that one of the boys is really a duke and a leader of the revolutionists who ultimate Iv free their country from the Saxon yoke. Four hundrded Drake univer sity men will be needed as es corts for the women from Ste phens college when they ocme to Drake for a dance March 17. And the student council must match the names and descritpions of the women with available Drake men When the bacteriology professor read off the names of the students in his class he told each of them to hold up their hand so he could get better acquainted with them. MARION MALISTER couldn't When Phi Delt Blaine Carey j wait until her name was called mentioned horses, not the white i but held up her hand before he kind, the other day, the girl he ! had even started reading off the Birdhead, Ponca Indian Chief, Comes to Campus (Continued from Page 1.) stone quarries were first discov ered by the Poncas, shortly after their migiation into the Niobrara territory. According to Dr. Bell, the pipe has a geneology of at least ten generations. Since the Poncas have lived in Nebraska as long or longer than any other group, Dr. Bell and his assistants are anxious to obtain information of the tribe which has been handed down from one gener ation to another so that it car be published as another book in the series of "Chapters in Nebraska Archaeology." The obtaining of this Indian history thru daily visits with the chief and his interpreter, Pete Le- Clair, also a member of the tribe. is but one aspect of a more exten sive project being sponsored by the Works Progress Administration and the university. An appropria tion of $8,876 has been secured for the program, which will continue thruout the second semester. In addition to the gathering of unwritten history from Chief Bird head, the project calls for a de tailed study of all the archaeolo gical material that has been se cured in the past 11 years. The miscellaneous collection will be sorted, dated and arranged for fu ture display and will be available for further'teaching and study. Dr. Bell estimated that the collection will comprise more than 50,000 specimens secured from Nebraska sites. Dr. Bell made the. acquantaince of Birdhead last summer while di recting several archaelogical field parties along the eastern extrem ity of the Niobrara valley. EXTENSION OFFICE ORGANIZES NIGHT COURSE SCHEDULE (Continued from Page 1.) auditing if students are Interested in attending a class without earn ing college credit. There is a $5 fee for auditing, and permission of the instructor must be obtained. The extension division urges early registration so that the classes may be organized as soon as possible. Altho there are many late registrants this semester, the number may approximate the 4)0 of last semester. happened to be with exclaimed that she just adored riding, so Blaine, the dauntless, asked her to have a brisk morning canter with him. The girl stalled for time, and suggested a week from Sunday to give her plenty of time to practice up (she's never been within three feet of the animules before in her life). Came the snow, and with it not a chance for practice, so I only hope she isn't afraid to get on a horse, or doesn't forget on which side to mount, when the fatal day arrives. Incidentally, Blaine is rather in clined to be frank about such things, and is likely to discourage a beginner right from the start Just be tolerant, Blaine. names. Must be some professor if he affects the girls thataway even before the first class is over. WAYNE DIMINGO seems to be taking married life quite seriously. He checked a book on "Happy Do mestic Relations" or something with a similar title, out of the li brary the other day. Anyway it was something on "how to make marriage a success." TOM KING was buying some not so nice valentines (as he called them) down at the drug store the other night CHIPS (Continued from Page l.i And also, tho he undoubtedly never dreamed there would be such thing will enter into the produc tion of swing and modem rhythm for the present generation as his likeness, imprinted upon a piece Of metal will slip into the slots of automatic jecord playing ma chines There is an interesting coinci dence in connection with the se lection of a new design for a five cent piece. Tomasso Jeffer son was the first great demo crat and this is, at present, a democrat controlled administra tion. Which party, we wonder, was in power when the penny was In augurated with the head of Abe Lincoln, the dollar bill with George Washington and the 3c stamp with G. Washington? Probably the republican party. The Indian head design must have (lipped in as a compromise or as a gift of the great white poppa's to the Indian nation in return for a couple of reserva tions, and we don't mean the hotel kind, either. Railroad System Looks for Owner Of Long Lost Pen Despite the lact that the great railroad systems once had an un savory reputation in business graft such as granting rebates, discrimi nating between localities and ship pers, and doing all the other things mentioned in "polysci, there is ample proof of their present hon-; esty. i To mention specific instances, it ; seems that a young lady on her i way to Nebraska U., via the Great Northern road and Sioux City, la., reported the loss of a fountain pen , at the Indian village. (Any coed answering to this description, please note.) It further seems that the pen was found and turned In to H. V. Sundberg. tne C. U. V ticket agent there. Mr. Sundbcrg misplaced the ad dress and wrote to ask the co-operation of the university officials. , If the mystery girl will get in j touch with Mr. Sundtx-rg, she will receive her pen pronto. t The purple Parrot, campus hu mor magazine, was barred from distribution among Northwestern university students until a two page supplement of pictures hoW' ing coeds In their baths had been deleted.
