Chi 0 pledges swiped all the
tooth brushes, silverware, and va
rious other little necessary Items
Including the waiters, and cook for
breakfast; kidnaped an active or

dumped them out on 67th and
Havelock to get home as best they
could.
Kappa pledges roomed at the
Cornhusker, and in the course of
the evening got the best of tho
actives with the help of tho Tau's.
And then there's a good story con
nected with this. When the KKG
pledges were serenading tho
Beta's a well-known Tau came
over and started singing "I'm an
Onion" drowning out the pledges.
Finally ore of the Beta's was so
enraged that he took him on for
a regular fight, which ended rather
drastically.

Looking over the records today,
Bob Hope came through with the
pertinent observation that comedi
ans are purely accidental.
As a comedian, Hope himself Is
an accident. So, he claims, are all
the other funnymen of screen and
radio.
"Look!" argues Hope, "You al
ways hear of young men studying
to be lawyers, doctors, dentists,
plumbers, but never hear of any
young man whose ambition is to be
a comedian."
To bolster his case, he ran
through the list with Martha Raye
on the set of "Give Me a Sailor,"
their new Paramount comedy.
There's Jack Benny, the buck-
aroo of "Artists and Models
Abroad." He started as a violinist,
began Interspersing his tunes with
a little talk, then finally drifted to
talk altogether.
Jugglers Joked.
V. C. Fields started as a juggler
and Eddie Cantor as a juggler's
assistant. Even Fred Allen was
3 first a juggler. Jack Oakie was a
broker's assistant, then a song and
dance man.
"And," continues Hope, "Charlie
McCarthy began as a tree."
Hope hoofed a nifty "off to Buf
falo" in theaters large and small,
and, like Benny, began putting in
a little "patter."
"There really isn't any way for
an ambitious youngster to study
to be a comic. The only way you
can ever find out if you're a com
edian is to get in a situation where
comedy might help."
Rufe Davis, Paramount's hillbilly
comic, started making those "hu
man sound effects" that have
made him famous, to entertain the
babies In the family of 12, of
which he was the eldest.

Dr. Patterson said that the

Library To Fill

Handles Congressiono
Material
A letter to Miss Clnra Craig,
of the University Library Refer
ence department, from the head
librarian of the Congressional LI
brary, urges college students to
make nil requests for Information
and material thru their Univer
sity library.
According to the letter, many
students have In the past written
to this library for bibliographic
aid in the writing of a thesis, pre
paring of debate material and
many other such projects. The
Congressional librarian feels that
a large amount of this material
could be taken care of in the Uni
versity library and thus save them
a great amount of unnecessary la
bor and expense.
Hereafter, application for ma
terial from this source must he
made thru the Reference Depart
mcnt of the University library.
