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.

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. "Let's just go
straight home if you don't mind.
I'm really awfully tired."

Musical Comedy Scheduled
To Appear at Varsity
Theater Saturday.
"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.

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.

Blaine, the dauntless, asked her to

suggested a week from Sunday to

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.
