The gifts given away on Easter

into the light of day. Some gent
gave Lucile Anderson two egg
layers and she is taking careful
care of them within her four walls
In the Theta house. This kind to
dumb animals person made an in
cubator for them out of a shoe
box and put a light bulb at the
end. One of the chicks has taken
quite a fancy to its boss and is
now calling for her and follows
her around. Other houses have
acquired rabbits and one house has
a snake.
Again George Binge r makes
this column over a high school
girl. He took this one for a ride
and she liked him. She hooked
his p'n on her dress and wouldn't
do anything about it. Now George
didn't have much to say about It
but he would like it bnck because
it belongs to one of his brothers.
Le Roy Farmer wants a nice
girl to be his very own. He can't
find one to suit his taste so he
came to us for help. If you know
of any cute thing who would like
to be the one in a redhead's life
to call the Rag office and ask for
the Han't.
The candy passings are begin
ning to come back into style. Just
when everyone is trying to lose
weight so they will look simply
divine in a bathing suit. Janet
Steckelberg, Alpha Phi, and Har

scholar, did their duty Monday
night. The Chi Phis were a little
late In serenading but the girls
waited for them with bated breath.
The PI Phis had one too. After
waiting for so long that everyone
thought they were married, Del

Saturday seems to be the busy
day of this week end. In fact, it
was so busy that the Kappa Sig's
had to call off their picnic at Li
noma because the Sigma Nu's and
Sig Alph's had all the buses In
town hired for their Field day, so
the picnic will be the .30th in
stead. Saturday will bring about the
' long awaited Field day. It has
always been customary to have
the competition in the fall, but
due to a difficulty which
wouldn't allow it to be given, It
had to be changed to spring.
Always before, football and bas
ketball were the two main sport
competitions, but this year It
will probably be baseball and
tennis. The traditional tug of
. war and freshman egg battle
will not be changed. So far, for
all four years, the Sig Alphs
have won the trophy which Is a
big brass spitoon mounted on
varnished boards.
After an early lunch the affair
will start out with a parado. The
Sig Alpha freshmen will pull the
Rctlves on a hayrack and the Sig'
ma Nu's will use a hearse. Then
both houses will go out to the
Russian flats for the competitions,
In the evening the freshmen will
all eat at one house and the ac
tives at the other. Later there will
be closed house parties at each of
the houses. There will probably
be quite a lot of slinging of but
ter, salt, and what have you. All
In all, the boys will be more or
less worn out after the day's af
rair.
Next year, they plan to resume
the institution In the fall as it al
ways was prior to this year.
Alpha Omicron Is entertaining
with a house party Saturday eve
ning. It is open to the public. An
nouncements were sent around In
May baskets. Lois Harpster, so
cial chairman, Is In charge of the
affair.
Knglneerlng executive board Is
having a dance at the Lincoln ho
tel on Saturday also. Knowing en
gineers nnd the Lincoln hotel, It
ought to be a good party In more
than one sense of the word.
M
Delta Sigma PI, national com
mercial fraternity, Is having n
dance at the chamber of commerce
ballroom on Saturday. Art Hill's
band will furnish the music.
Officers of Phi Gamma Delta
for the coming year are as fol
lows: President, Lewis Leigh;
steward, William Graves; record
ing secretary, Phil Grant; cor
responding secretary, Bill Wagner,
and historian, Bernard Ingram.
Commerce Fraternity
To Hold Sprinp Party
Saturday at Chamber
Karl Hills and his eight piece
orchestra will play at the annual
spring prty of Delta Sigma PI,
professional commerce fraternity,
in I he ballroom of the chamber of
commerce, Saturday evening at fl
O'clock.
Invitations have been extended
to the Beta Tlieta chapter at
Crclghton university in Omaha
who will come in a body. A biankt-t
Invitation has also been extended
to the Omaha Alumni club, about
40 members who were graduated
from this university.
Best story of the week concerns
Derri'.l Harlan, Phi Gam, who had
planned a jaunt out to Broken
Bow to weekend at Marjone Mel
ville's home. The trouble came
when some of his playful frater
nity brothers did away with the
clean clothes in his suitcase and
left only a tooth brush, and a
flimsy bit of lingerie, and that was
all the wardrobe our sartorial Fiji
friend had for the whole week
The Pi Phi's tell me that they
had a candy passing Monday
night. But it was a double extra
special occasion for one of their
cutest freshmen, Delphine Seely
definitely and formally withdrew
from the footloose list. The man
in this case was handsome Bill Ko-
vanda, who when we saw him later
in the evening looked a bit wilted
from the unusual rush he'd been
thru. Every gal in the house made
one wild dash for Bill when the
Sig Ep's arrived for the hour
dance, and in a few short minutes
he learned all about "Pi Phi
Kisses."
You've heard of blind dates that
turned out favorably, but Val
Harper and Myron Tripp are the
best evidence. It was two long
years ago that Val arrived for a
weekend and someone fixed her up
with Myron, Ever since they've
been going together and Monday
night climaxed the romance with
chocolates. At least that s the best
explanation we can think of, for
the Phi Sig's and P. A. D.'s were
gathered en masse on the Alpha
Chi doorstep that evening.
M m m
Again Betty Van Home, Helen
Rothery and Lois Deitrich were
dunked in the Trl Delt tub and fin
ished off with an icy shower and
all because they won't came across
with the chocoiates. After her sub-
mergance. Helen Rothery dashed
to the phone and called Ray Col
bert at the D. U. house. "L-ets
pass the candy, Ray, I'm all wet
and two baths a day are too
many," pleaded the indignant sen
ior. So looks like the gals will get
their sweets next Monday. Betty
Van Home and Lois Deitrich, how
ever, remain noncommital.
Additions to Hall Collection
Selected From Spring
Art Exhibition.
The University of i-Tebraska has
just purchased three paintings and
two original pieces of sculpture to
be added to the permanent collec
tion established by Mr. and Mrs.
F. M. Hall in 1928. The selections,
which were made from the annual
exhibition held by the Nebraska
Art association recently include
paintings as follows: "Abandoned
Farm House," by Charles Burch
fleld; "Mahone Bay," by William
Glackens, and "Winter Pittsburgh"
by Ernest Fiene.
The two pieces of sculpture pur
chased are "Wandering Three,"
the sculptured group of three little
colts so popular with exhibition
visitors, by Heinz Warneke, and
"Dolphins" by one of America's
most famous sculptors, Gaston
Lachaise. Of the artists repre
sented, Lachaise is the only one
who is no longer living.
Experts Advise Purchase.
According to the terms of Mr.
Hall's will which gave the Univer
sity of Nebraska the art collections
which he and Mrs. Hall had ac
cumulated over a period of years,
and placed the entire estate at the
disposal of the university for pur
chases of works of art, it is nec
essary to obtain the written opin
ion and consent of at least two ex
perts in the field of art before a
work may be purchased for the
collection. Experts serving in the
capacity of consultants for this
year's purchases were F. A. Whit
ing, jr., editor of the Magazine of
Art published in Washington,
D. C, and Donald Bear, director of
the Denver museum of art. Both
Mr. Whiting and Mr. Bear visited
the exhibition, examined the Uni
versity of Nebraska and Nebraska
Art association collections, and
made recommendations for acqui
sitions. Both experts concurred ex
actly in their recommendations,
and were enthusiastic about the
Interest and value which the paint
ings and sculptures will add to an
already well known art collection.
The Nebraska collections are fa
vorably known throughout the
country, and have received praise
in the columns of New ioi k pa
pers and some of the most dis
tinguished art magazines.

'GOOD PEOPLE' MAY DE-
STROY CIVILIZATION
PREDICTS PHILOSOPHER
(Continued from Page 1.)
machine civilization has, however,
been the cause of blessings as well
as evils the former Illinois sena
tor pointed out. "Altho the divi
sion of labor into white collar
workers and laborers, with innu
merable subdivisions of each class,
has caused great rifts in our so
cial structure, it has nevertheless
made possible the creation of
many material advantages."
In this connection the speaker
showed how the luxuries of one
generation became necessities to
the next.
Wed Mind to Muscle.
Bringing into action his philo
sophical convictions, Smith ten
dered as a solution to the deroga
tive efffects of labor segregation
on human personality, the thesis
that the practice of a skill is the
only opportunity men and women
have to achieve happiness. "The
mastering of a particular skill
necessarily depends upon dis
cipline and training. The individ
ual can hope to become expertly
proficient in but a small segment
of the world's work."
The Chicagoan pointed out how
essential is the union of spirit and
muscle, of 'insight and activity."
Turning to the group of senior
students on the platform who
were being honored for distinctive
scholarship, he prophesied: "This
achievement, this marriage of
spirit and muscle, will be worth
far more to you than nil the keys
you wear. The capacity to do
something so well that you are a
master of it gives you the morale
which you need to face the crises
of a changing world.
"But," he warned, "we must not
shut ourselves in to enjoy the
honor that division of labor makes
possible this gathering of the in
tellectual upper crust and ignore
everyone else. The incipient cyni
cism prevalent on college cam
puses today can turn instruments
of sympathy into instruments of
bellicosity because the intellcJi'als
do not rub shoulders with labor
ers of other castes."
Birth Control Bill.
As a humorous sidelight on the
doctrine of becoming proficient at
one particular segment of activ
ity, Dr. Smith recalled how he
made a vow before entering the
Illinois senate that he would try
not to introduce more than one
bill. "That I accomplished," he
recalled, "even if it was only a
bill on birth control. I became
proficient by specialization."
In outlining the future of Amer
ican politics, Professor Smith was
able to draw upon first hand ex
perience, having just won nomina
tion for United States congress
man at large from Illinois in the
primaries held last week.
The congressional nominee de
fined politicians as "men engaged
in compromise who bridge the
gap between the fissures in so
ciety caused by the division of
labor." Talk is the only way to
knit together the dissevered seg
ments of society, he argued. One
half of the business of the world is
done with the mouth, and the poli
tician is the mouth.
Satirizes "Good People."
Smith bemoaned thP too strict
people" as the bane of civiliza
tion. "It is the good men and not
the bad men who will wreck civ
ilization. The good men who would
stick to the death to principles
suggested by their moral con
science, cannot compromise con
flicting principles. They may see
two sides of a question, all right,
but it always their own, and the
wrong one. Therefore, he con
cluded, to preserve civilization we
must have "unprincipled" men to
carry on the arbitration necessary.
"A politician can compromise an
issue without compromising him
self. He makes a verbal feint to
the left when he means to move
toward the right."
"Civilization lies beyond con
science, and the politician is the
only one who can see that eco
nomic issues are actually conflicts
of principle. Principles are all im
portant. Politicians serve the func
tion of oral midwives who can
become the custodians of the con
sciences of "good people." They
are secular paints preserving the
co-operative process from dinin
tegration." Praises Senator Norris.
Directing his attention to the
national political scene for a mo
ment, Smith praised Senator
George Norris for his speech last
Friday in which the Nehraskan
bluntly asked the administration
when 'it would fulfill its campaign
promise to extend the civil serv
ice, and expressed the belief that
a civil service comparatively free
from changes in political popular
ity was essential to efficient gov
ernmcnt."you don't create the job
for the man; you get the man for
the iob," he said.
Dr. Smith devoted the latter
portion rf his address to the place
of women in politics. Recalling
with evident relish incidents in his
career as legislator, the professor
said that he had seen politicians
working on both their day and
night shifts. He believed that the
inclusion of more women in public
offices would make both the day
and night activities more "color
ful."
"In the final analysis, women
make better politicians than men
because they cannot compromise
personality. All the early years
of ihcir lives arc devoted to the
care of someone else, and conse
quently they discern more readily
the line of demarcation between
principle nnd personality."
Concluding his address with the
selfsame political charm he had
been describing, philosopher, poll
ticiar., writer, Smith said: "On the
whole, my young friends, the
water of politics is fine come on
in.

Student Writes
'Cobweb College1
to Robert Frost
Robert Frost, beloved Harvard
university poet-teacher, has a rep.
utation for great teaching and
great writing. To this leader of
students, Kenneth Leslie recently
wrote a poem, had it printed on
the New lork Times' editorial
page. A portion of "Cobweb col.
lege," written for Robert Frost,
follows:
A batch of freshmen came to
Cobweb college;
the spider looked them over,
frowned and said,
"These boys are ghosts of boys,
cracked wide with knowledge
their dreams dried out and left
the dreamers dead.
There's not a meal among them,
no illusion
to sharpen up my tooth on, no
romance for me to ridicule to
red confusion,
no creed on which to slake my
poison lance.
I've drawn their blood too many
generations
and spoiled the breed. Their
fathers, when 1 wrapped them
in casual web and silken strong
equations,
would lunge and writhe, grim
acing when I snapped them
with categoried claws. These
modern schools
condition them until they yearn
to yield;
their wills are like the blown
pigskin that drools
November muck around a soggy
field.
They murmur, 'Say, professor,
skip the prodding,
just dish it out, the ifs, the ands,
the buts!
who'd question fifty million miles
of wadding
engendered through the ages in
your guts?
Welcome the warm cocoon of

my store."
