First of all, an apology to Bud
Cather'i gal at the Story Book,
for she wasn't a high school girl
at all. Instead, we find tha. she
Is a student out ag way. Guess
that Red Rldtnghood outfit was a
bit too effective.
Yesterday was squab day In the
Delt haven. Squab day, ror your
Information, Is the fete awaited
by all pledges at that house, for
at tnat time they and the actives
trade places. All the potential
Delts pack paddles on the campus
and at the very sight of one of
their upperclassmen begin swing
ing. John Howell and Paul Amen
have been favorite targets for the
flying pine.
Al Kjar was garbed, by the
frosh, in a basic drill suit which,
roughly speaking, was three sizes
over his maximum. Bob Van Nor
man was bedecked in a tux shirt
and soiled cords.
A few of the boys thought
they would duck away from the
squabs, by spending their day at
the Sportsman "lounge," but the
youngsters must have known 'he
upperclassmen's tendencies. It
wasn't long until a swat session
was in progress, much to the de
light of chance onlookers.
Sally White, Alpha Chi, was
dunked a week ago for not pass
ing the significant sweets with
Bob King, Slg Nu. Thus Bob de
cided that he would not have his
little Sally taking the same beat
ing last Monday. He sent the Al
pha Oil's a huge bundle of licorice
candy to temporarily suffice their
demands.
After munching the stuff for a
while, the Alpha Chis became con
scious that their mouths were tak
ing on an axle grease hue, so they
tubbed Sally, again! .

The D. U. pledges are absorbing
their lamin this week in double
doses. Contrary to all traditions
the boys have abolished hell week
to substitute Study Week. Fresh
men at that house are expected to
attend either classes or the library
at all hours of the day and must
be ready with a comeback when
questions are fired at them by the
actives. Incidentally, those young
men are also a bit restricted in
dating activities as speaking to
girls is a forbidden pleasure. School
days, school days.
The Slg Eps are getting right in
the swing of things with their
Blue Party this Friday. Fellows
will be required to appear in blue
-

a 1- s
shirt and white tie while girls
must don a predominately blue
gown. According to Harpers
Bazaar, Vogue and such other
authorities on fashion that color
will be most popular this spring
so we'll say that the Slg Ep's are
Just a jump ahead of Dame Fash
ion.
Phi Delt pledge, Frank Burdell,
is having slight difficulties. And
the time draws near when he must
make a decision. Sunday is the
freshman picnic at that house and
Trank has no less than three dates
to the affair. It all happened this
way. Shortly after the date for the
picnic was announced Frank
dashed to the phone and called the
first girl on his list. About a week
later, he met someone at an hour
d. v-.ce whom he just couldn't resist
asking so that made two dates.
Then just this week, he got the
Inspiration to Invite Betty Wells
(who in the meantime had discov
ered his plight). Since then he has
kept the wires busy from the Tri
Delt to the Phi Delt houses ex
plaining things. But Betty thinks
that young man needs discipline
so she's not sure just what her
answer will be. Third times a
charm, you know, Frank.
What we would like to have a
look at is Dorothy Cllne's Theta
p) which has been so much tho
ctiiler of attention this week. It
seems that Dorothy's aunt was
oner the national president of her
sorority so her jeweled badge is
pretty well studded with diamonds
Awther person who makes the
teat of the new Theta initiates
simply green with jealousy Is Jes
slca Muts who already has her own
pin.
,vhen one of the Phi Gam's was
dressing for a date one night, he
no'' led that his collar wouldn't
but nn, so some of the boys ex
amined him and decided he had the
mumps. It waa too late to call off
the date, so a pledge was sent over
to the Phi Phi house to entertain
the lady in waiting.

The Kappa's Sig's were highly
Indignant at the mistake about
that man of men, that All-American,
Lawrence Ely, being called
a Sigma Nu. Yours truly received
a scorching letter unsigned from
some of the members of that or
ganization. The mistake came
about because it was the Sigma
Nu house mother who dressed him
up, and we took it for granted that
he was a Sigma Nu. Apollgtes to
the Kappa Sig's for not giving
them due credit where credit was
deserved.
Installation of Delta Gamma of
ficers was held March 7. The new
officers are: President, Margaret
Werner; vice-president, Helen
Kathertne Davis; social chairman,
Virginia Wheeler.
Mrs. Helen Corbett, Regional
president of Sigma Kappa, visited
the local chapter last week end
for an inspection of the chapter.
She arrived Friday evening from
K. U. and left Sunday night for
Minneapolis, Minnesota, her home.
Sunday afternoon, Sigma Kappa
entertained Mrs. Corbett with a
tea for presidents and house moth
ers. Barbara Marston was in
charge. In the evening, the alum
nae and actives had a buffet sup
per in her honor.
On Wednesday, March 2, Elta
Kohlscheen, Sigma Kappa, sopho
more of last year, married Orvle

creasing crop production, experi
ments and studies at the univer
sity indicating that actually only
about 20 to 25 percent of the an
nual rainfall received goes for de
veloping grains and forage crops.
Almost 50 percent is lost thru
evaporation, he says, while about
30 percent is lost in runoff. Thus,
tree belts conserve not only much
of the runoff waste but also mid
ify the loss from evaporation,
since burning hot winds are kept
from parching and excessively
drying out the ground. Further,
crops themselves are savd from
burning because the trees not only
deflect the winds but also lower
the temperatures.
According to Jenkins, a recent
survey Indicates that in order to
protect the state's soil, to Insure
profitable agriculture, assure wild
ure preserves and the necessary
sneiier me year round for both
men and animals, there la a need
of at least 15 times the number of
trees that are now growing In the
state. He discounts the statement
made by some r"uimlsts that the
Nebraska plains are too dry for
the gre vth of trees. As a matter
of fact, trees create their own
condition of existence by holding
moisture and checking evapora
tion. By using greater care in
the choice of species and by giv
ing more attention to our plant
ings Nebraska can be assured or
shelterbelt that will persist for
long periods of time.

Master of hl-de-ho and trumpet
swing Is Johnny Davis, Fred War-
lng's former trumpeter, now in the
movies. Johnny has a most pecu
liar method of organizing himself
when he sings his hl-de-ho. He
rises on his toes, throws his head
back, half closes his eyes, opens
his mouth wide, and let's go with
his who-ho-ho-ho's and he-dt-ho-
ho's. Johnny's mus'cal talent Is
somewhat of an Inheritance, for
his father leads a concert band,
his two brothers are musicians,
one of them having led the Uni
versity of Indiana band when In
college, and the other now con
ducts his own orchestra. His sis
ter Louise is a whizz on the piano.
Johnny was a trumpet virtuoso
at the age of S, and shortly after
that age, he appeared in his first
public appearance playing "Amer
ica" at a Sunday school concert.
At 6, he joined a school band, and
at 10, his father's concert band.
When he was 12 he went to Terre
Haute where he Joined "O'Grady's
band," and was regarded as the
child wonder of rhythm. . . He
went to school in the mornings
and compiled a good average
considering. In 1930 he came east with smitn
Ballew and then Joined Red Nich
ols' band. Waring heard him
trumpeting and singing at the
Park Central hotel, New York
City, and asked him to join his
group. . . Johnny did, and has
been a headllner since.
He now rents a penthouse in
Manhattan, is married to Martha
Lee Garber Davis (since 1935,
April Fool's day). His wife's
father ran an opposition theater
in Terre Haute, but that made no
difference to Johnny.

AGGRAVATIONS
Has anyone noticed the change
that has come over the Farm
House pledges this past week?
Probation week starts for them
very soon and they must start
brushing up on their manners so
as to be in shape to get thu it.
The Farm Opps have left the
campus and the heart Xf Lila Mer
lotte is very sad. You see she has
been keeping company with one
of them the last winter and now
that spring Is here she will be
sooo sad.

Bill Hartnell surprised us again
by bringing a tall brunette by the
name of Alice Blackstone to the
Engineers Spring party. He says
that it means nothing as she is a
high school girl from his home
town. It looked like he was having
a good time for all that.
Among others who enjoyed
themselves no end at the party
were Jess Skinner and Edith
Leisy. Carol Gerry and Edith
Fillcy were tripping It off together
as were Pete Burns and Marjorle
Runkel. In fact the only one who
did not enjoy himself dancing was
Al Mathls. The reason? Al spent
the night checking coats down
stairs. Joan Jelanek was busy all week
end with ihe boy from home. He
drove 80 miles both Friday and
Sunday night just to keep Joan
from being lonesome. Ain't love
grand ?
I finally found a definition for
education. Here it is. Education
is the inculcation of the incom
prehensible into the ignorant by
the Incompetent. So that's why I
am in college.
