BY THE HAUNTER
A week oi" so ago this column
carried an account of Betty Hill
yer's going steady with Mark
"Bill" Woods, Phi belt. The down
town society editor picked up the
trail and called Mrs. Woods, ask
ing when the wedding was to take
place. The editor was greeted in
didnantly, since Bill's mother had
never given the matter of her
young son being married, any
thought before.
Incidentally, the date of this
steady business Is next Sunday and
from all appearances, it is still
going through.
Another tale involving Miss Hill
yer is the one of how she and Vir
ginia Fleetwood, Theta, had
planned to have their appendices
out simultaneously during spring
vacation. The two bought identical
bed jackets and picked out a dou
ble room. Carrying the thing still
further, they planned invitations
to their "formal opening." Then,
the plan fell through when "Fleet"
becarse disgustingly well. How
ever, Hillyer intends to carry on.
Nate Holcman was the Sigma
Nu who was not initiated Satur
day, because he was confined at
home with the mumps. It was just
learned today that little ficry
thatched Nate kissed a girl (we
believe her name was Ann Stew
art) goodbye who was leaving for
the east. This gal now has the
swollen malady also, it is reported.

Tuesday in geology quiz as Prof.
Lugn was calling his traditional

he was in drill class, pipes "Here,

ous and everyone turned to look
at him as Al Kjar, Delt, cajne

Helen McLaughlin, newly elect
ed Kappa prexy, approached a lad
on the campus the other day, who
was driving a shiny new car.
"Is this your car?" she queried.
"Yes."
"Really, all yours?"
"Yes!"
"Oh, you're just a darling boy,"
she assured him.
Mary Jane Bennett, Theta

Minister Outlines Economic
Situation of Farmers
For Group.
Rev. Ray Magnuson of Martell
student of the church and the rural
community, spoke to members of
Phi Tau Theta Tuesday evening.
Magnuson outlined the economic
situation of the farmers and the
dependence of rural churches upon
the economic prosperity of the
farmer.
"One of the problems of farm
life is the high cost of courting.
A farm boy must have a car if he
is to be socially acceptable. That
calls for an investment equal to
what his father put in as part
payment on machinery or land,
Magnuson said.
He traced the effects of ten
ancy, told of the attitude of es
cape which is apparent in young
farm people, described the roman
tic rise of the folk school move
ment in Denmark and declared
the need for leadership which
would really identify Itself with
the farm. The rural minister
termed the rural field one of the
most challenging of which he
knew, and pointed out that it had
compensations for the disadvant
ages that went with It.

BRUCE KAMMAN, ALIAS
PROF. KALTENMEYER
One of radio's most novel pro
grams is Professor Kaltenmeyer's
kindergarten, wherein a group of
young scamps, of all nationalities
are supposed to be securing their
lower educa
tion. Bruce
Kamman, alia:
the professor,
recently divulg
ed many of the
facts of his life
in an interview
with an em
ployee of Mer
chandise 1 Mart,
Chicago public
ity agency.
I n terviewing
the professor,
states the re
porter, is like trying to keep
a horse in a furrow. . .he'd rather
go off to the side and tell stories.
According to Bruce, "I was born
in 1899. They tell me that when I
was born... No, I didn't want to
be a fireman or a policeman or
cowboy either. My boyhood hero
was Herbert L. Clark, cornetist in
Sousa's band. (Another joke...
Sure I became a cornetist. Played
in John Wanamaker Boys band,
Roxy's gang, and the Haganbeck
Wallace Circus band."
Other groups which included
Mr. Kamman were the Nickelo
deons, other stock companies and
tent shows. For a while he played
in one tent show that put on Uncle
Tom's Cabin. Bruce blew his cor
net to attract the crowd, then
gave them a sales talk about the
show, sold them tickets. In some
towns, he relates, he couldn't get
any dogs, so he doubled for the
bloodhounds.
Bruce got into radio while toot
ing a cornet in a band that worked
out of station WHB in Kansas
City, and he's never been far from
the microphone since.
In 1932. he started his kinder
garten, which is on the air every
Saturday at 6 p. m. Professor Kal
tenmeyer is married, and very
happily, he states, "thanks to his
wife." Bruce has one child, Bruce,
jr., who is 17 months old... Bruce
says that everyone says the baby
is the image of him.
Now you know who Bruce Kam
man is... try his program next
Saturday if you haven't heard it
before.
Ted Fiorito. CBS band leader
has written a new song entitled

Phil Baker, comedian, ac

so intrigued with radio that he put

rehearsal, until Jack decided to use
him in the role that he now occu

one of radio's best laughs.

And that's the whole story as far as I

years, will tonight wield their can
nonball services and stinging
drives in the university coliseum.
These two stars of the courts will
face each other at 8:15 p. m. on
a specially installed indoor court.
Rivalry between Vines and
Perry is the classic of modern
tennis. The former Wimbledon and
American champions played to a
standstill In last year's barnstorm
ing tour. Berkeley Bell, the "Tumb
ling Texan.'" and Walter Senior,
runnerup to world's amateur
champion Donald Budge in North
ern California tennis last year,
complete the evening's program.
These two top notchcrs play the
opening singles duel.
Vines and Senior team up in
the evening's doubles match
against Perry and Bell. Bell I;
the star of professional doubles
play. As a partner for Terry in
duo play, his amazing net game
and volleys make the team a na
tural. On the other hand, Vines,
with his blistering services and
brilliant back-court game, and
Senior, a six-foot two husky, form
a remarkable doubles combination.
This match Is one of the high-1
lights of the evening's card.
Vines Top Cash Players.
Vines has been the world's pro

lured In the cash-snd-play ranks
in 1934. Until then he was the '

Tast records indicate the ability
of Vines and Perry. The American

Dr. Walker scoffs at the idea
that sprinkling with city water
produces water grass. Water
grass, she explains, is an annual
grass, and there is only one way
to whip it to pull it out by the
roots before it gets started, if the
lawn is overrun with water grass
she advises to dig it under and
start anew. She also warns against
the use of various chemicals which
are employed sometimes to kill
dandelions. While these mixtures
will kill the dandelions, she says,
it will also kill the grass around
it, leaving bare spots all over the
lawn.
Thus, watering alone is not tha
answer to a good lawn, states Dr.
Walker. Of equal importance, if
not more, is plenty of daily work
in the yard. "My sister and I some
time ago resolved to dig at least
100 dandelions a day from our
yard during the growing season.
By far the greater number of these
are small seedlings. That's why we
have blue grass today."
