I THE DAILY NEHRASKAN, SUM) AY, FEBKUAHY 13, 193 PAGE WIGHT Florida U. Maintains Policy Of Outlawing Co-Educalion ,o(L ML If) J TKrtll H Z tJY THE llAUNTEl!. J Have you heard aluut the real, genuine haunter (hat has been spooking a ce.tainliig sorority for several weeks? It seems that al most nightly he calls and in a raucous tone and with a weird laugh he tells them that he is the "ghost of the house." This would not be so arousing, but almost invariably he can tell the gills what they are doing; at the present time, where their rooms are located and what they have in their rooms. To say the least, which is what we're trying to do, it is indeed annoying to the gals. i Hyan, Sigma Nu, is one of -note successful lads in the V f romance. He had a date with a girl one night, proffered his pin half heartedly an. I she took il with the other half. That was some three weeks ago. The fern " lives in Omaha and correspondence has flew in attempt to retrieve the jewelry, but she clings to it like gum underfoot. Now, rumor has it, .young Dick has made a special trip to the metroolis to get the slur. We'll give you further dope later. Pottie Kutcher made the prom last night, but did little dancing. The reason is that while socializ ing a bit with Harlan Miller, she leaped upon a bicycle which she thought Milder was holding. The truth was that he was holding no bike. As Pottie lit, down went the vehicle ami likewise Dottie. As a result, three stitches were taken in her leg. And then there is the story about the two fellows who are dating the same five girls, but then that is too personal. They are Sigma Nu's, Marvanna. HY THE HAlliNTKESS Things happened fast and furi ously Friday night when the Kap pa Sig's bid half the campus to their formal, which by the way, was not a half bad party, not at all, especially before some of the mob arrived. Old Doc Thompson shines again. This time our Delt friend had a heavy date at the D. G. house with lovely Jane Dimery, who evi dently doesn't know Lynn al' wejl as well as we do. Anyhow Doc was quite in his glory over the thought of a whole evening with his latest Jane. Up to date their t H)CIAE EVENTS. i - . I By Dixie Davis. j The past week end has seen &' great hurly burly of social events. To start it off with a bang was; the Kappa Sig formal at the Coin-; busker main ballroom. Music was furnished by Huss Gibson and his' orchestra. F.ach girl going with a Kappa Sig was presented with a crested bracelet in black and gold, a very streamlined affair. Preceding the formal, many f the Kappa Sigs and their dates had j ilmner nt the Lincoln hotel. All ied attraction to the formal was the fact that Kuth Laney of Pt nvt-r came all the way to Lin ioIij to attend the formal with Yale Wiegardt, Kappa Sig. An-' other Kappa Sig did not h ive such good luck, for Johnny Miller and Kut hie Yourd were absent because Johnny is sick in bed with the flu Greek "lnform.il Formal." In addition to Friday's formal V as the 'informal Formal" of the season last night te-ituritip the music of Pick Jurgens Lis famous orchcsl i ,1. 1 h. pit.-r- t'.ati'i nity Hall was held al the e.,1- i.seum, and the place was lighted up with the paternity emblems mill insijriuas as decor. ill ins.

Thir. is a very gMla occurence which brings in alumnae from ill over the state, to nieel with the arlives, and pledges of the local chapter. Today will be the ending of it nil. with a style show by tb.. pledges, linn J have been two others, Jane Alvey at the Trl Delt house was his first secret pash. Then came Jane Hayes at the Theta domicile, she of the camera smashing variety. Well, to get on with our story, Lynn started getting ready hours before the great occasion. A cou ple of brother Delt's under the able leadership of Brtii.in Berg thought it would be quite the lark to swipe Doc's claim to fame, bis tux. From then on the shack next to the gov's took on all appear ances of a three ringed circus with fur flying among the squabs, of whom Lynn has often proven him self a worthy slave driver. So, my frans, let that be a lesson to you. When the red kHter date arrives, keep it dark, keep it dark! It's beginning to look like a put up job, but here's another tale about the dear ole Delta Tau's. Hemember the PI Phi pledge, MarJ Corrlngton, who broke a date with Bob McCanvpbell not so long ago? Anyhow, another of the boys decided that he'd try his luck with the gal, so Jack Gellatly asked her just ages ago to the Inter-frat. Hut now, somehow or other Jack found himself Friday night looking for another date to that affair. Foiled again, and this time it was that good old standby "going out of town." Last time, if we remember correctly she was ill. For a pledge, we'd say that Marj is learning fast. Found out a little inside dope on statuesqile F.va Jane from the house of Alpha Phi. That young lady was just the slightest bit per turbed Friday night when one of the pledges came up to her, and let drop the hint that Miss Sinclair had been dieting, and all along her date had thought that she really wasn t hungry. Maybe you've heard Beta Bob Pillsbury raving about the "most beautiful girl on the campus Marie Anderson. Well, at least ; that's Bob's opinion of her, but then he's only supposed to be go- ing with the gal. Came Friday ' night and this time the Beta , pledges were being kept at home I for the evening. I Fethaps you read in the Bag ; how Marie wept because she , wasn't to see her True Love for j one w hole evening. Well, there's , a sequel to that. Don't know how it happened, but when we bumped into Marie at the Cornhusker that ; night, she just happened to be 1 with a Phi pelt pledge, Boh Stuart. starting from the time Gamma rhl I Beta was founded until the pres ent day, a repetition of the skit ' that was entered into the Kosmet I Klub Review this fall and a ban quet dinner. To those leaving we ; say, "Good-bye. Gamma Phi's, come back again." New pledges announced by the Panhellanic office this week, are, , Lillian Perclman. Sigma Delta i Tan. and Helen Severa, Alpha Xi Delta. Speaking of pledges, we wish to make a correction for an error which appeared in the I :t -.t issue of the .Nebraska!!. H slated that Katlierine Garnand, I'etly Jane Pendleton, Opal Stehbms and Vir ginia Towle pledged Ginir.ia Phi. This is wrong fur all three girls pledged Pi lleta Pill. Apologies to iill pal ties conceined. Tim latest book to be written l.y the Nebraska faculty is the text. "An Introduction to Busi icss," published by Pi. Cleon O. Swryzee and Prof. Clifford M HicMS, both of the college of busi ness administration. The book t ov ers f,(il pages and has several new features, among them several graphic sequences of pictures which vizualie to the .student what the authors are explaining, and a wduithle list of current ar ticles dealing with the subject matter that has been covered. Problems are found at the end of each chapter. Dr. C. K. McNeill of Ihe depart ment of economics spoke to an adult teacher's study group on "F location for Consumer" re cord 'y. Students Look for Changes, But Not Till at Least 25 Years Hence. The last stronghold of the "auti-co-educationist' 'may soon give way- in 2I years. A gleam of hope, well mingled with caution against false expectations, has fil tered thru the maze of red tape and circumstances that maintain Florida as the only state in the union that does not permit co-education in its state universities. The "Florida Flambeau," pub lished by the girls of the Florida State college for women, broke a precedent of silence upon the sub ject to declare recently "if the university of Florida grows to be too large, if there is a fundamental change in the law, if the many needed appropriations are made; and if a number of other things happen, Florida State might be come a co-educational institution in 25 years.' ' Partial 'Dutch Dating. Such a change would bring re lief to the boys of the University of Florida, for they go to school at Gainesville, 80 miles from Tallahassee-home of the State college. Their problem is to get the girls to and from their big parties. Ac cording to the present compromise, the girls pay their own fare to Schorer, Smith, Riddle, Brcdemcier Accept Teaching Jobs. A quartet of Agriculture college students have been notified of ap pointments to teach at various in stitutions in different parts of the country according to F. R. Keim, chairman of the department of Agronomy, who revealed the ap pointments yesterday. William Schorer, a graduate student from the Agronomy school the first semester this year, has accepted a position as Junior Agronomist with the Soil Conser vation service at Clyde, Kansas. Schorer graduated from the Iowa State college at Ames in the spring of 1937 before coming to Nebraska. He plans to continue his graduate work at Nebraska as soon as he is able to obtain a leave from his new position. Bredemeier Goes to Iowa. I-orcnz Bredemeier, Steinaucr. Nebraska, who received his B. S. degree from the University in 1934 and who will receive his Master's degree in June, has accepted a po sition as Junior Agronomist in the Soil Conservation Service at Ccn terville, Iowa. A mid-year senior In the Ag col lege, Dale Smith of Fairmont, Ne braska, left February 1, for Mad ison, Wisconsin, where he has taken an assistantship with the Univer sity of Wisconsin. There he will continue work for his Master's de gree. Smith was one of the rank ing seniors in the Ag college and was graduated with the degree of , distinction. I Ogden Kiddle has been informed i that he will receive an appoint ment as graduate assistant in the University of California department I of agronomy. Kiddle, who is a sen- j ior in tlfe Ag college at present,! j will graduate in June and report immediately to Mr. C. F.. Suneson ; at Davis, California. Kiddle's home is at Hartley, Nebraska. j!Mi.w I'anlkncr Exliiltits ' Work at Art Infinite I Miss Kay P..

Lincoln, Nebr. and from Gainesville, while the boys pay all the expenses of the girls during their stay. Altho both of the Btate univer sities, for men and women, exclude the opposite sex during the winter sessions, both schools allow them to attend their summer schools. The Florida catalogues are very noneommital on the reasons for the segregation of the sexes. State's bulletin says "Florida State college for women has as its spe cial service the education and cul ture of the young women of the state." Seemingly the co-educational feature of other state schools might interfere with this dual aim. Florida university "for men only" stresses the fact that it is one of the few schools in the coun try that operates on the honor sys tem. Here in Florida, they say "there arc no proctors or spies in the examination rooms, each stu dent feeling free to do his work, or to leave the room as occasion arises. Secondly, fruits and sup plies are placed openly on the cam pus, with the confidence that each man will pay for any he may take." The catalogue does not say that Florida's ability to work the honor system has as its foundation the exclusion of girls but care Is taken to elaborate these two points In close connection. THE WEATHER The elements will precipitate thcmsclvei in the form of snow today if nothing interrupts the cycle of atmospheric changes now under observation by our weather man. Balmy weather of the last few days will give way to lowering temperatures. y ENLARGEMENT SET FOR DISCUSSION Fraternities, Barb Groups Compete in Tourney Progressively.

One of the outstanding authori ties in the field of organic chemis try. Dr. Lee I. Smith, chief of the division of organic chemistry at the University of Minnesota, will address chemists of the state, stu dents and faculty of the university at a meeting Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the auditorium of the Avery laboratory of chemistry. Dr. Smith will talk on "the re action between metalic cnolates and substituted quinones," a field of investigation in which he is na tionally recognized. Most of his research has been done with highly alkylated benzenes and quinones. The speaker is a member of the American, British, German, and Swiss chemical societies and is a member of the board of editors of the Journal or Organic Chemistry. The meeting is open to the public. Students may work their way thru college without fear that their employment will affect their scho lastic standing, according to Tem ple university officials. Part-tim employment of students by the Na tional Youth administration was investigated by the university and it was found that a group so em ployed made a better showing than a similar gioup which was unem ployed.
