U. pledges are having an open house party Saturday night for the actives. The theme of the party will be those things loved by all freshmen, "boards." The Sammie's are having an orchestra party following the Pitt game Saturday. Earl Hills or chestra will play. Kappa Sigs are having their annual barn dance Saturday eve ning. They will go after their dates in hayracks, and have the house decorated as a barn in gen eral. No doubt there will be a few stray chickens scratching around. The actives are giving It for the pieages. Friday evening-, the KaDna's are having an open house party. The meme is going to be Armistice day, but as far as we can find out, the decorations are to remain a secret. Pi K. A. house party is titled the Twelfth Street Brawl. Decora tions will consist mainly of pink elephants. The basement will be fixed up as a bar, with tables an' everything. It is Saturday night, and open. Delta Tau Delta is having its annual hard times party Satur day evening. The decorations will be in accordance with the theme, and likewise, the garbs the people come In. This party is also open, u zz Margaret Moyer is wearing Ray Broyhill's Beta pin, incidentally, she is the first of the D. G. pledge class to take a pin... Flash Clark Kuppinger of Frieda Ward fame had a blind date with Bobbie Marston, Sigma Kappa proxy, on Friday night. Now she wears his maltese cross. The straights of the whole deal are not quite known as yet. Survey Finds Eleven Paddles Per Frosh Capita "Have you had your eleven boards this six weeks?" This is not a paid advertisement but merely the average number of boards "taken" by fraternity fresh man during the last six weeks ac cording to a survey made by the Daily Nebraskan in an attempt to get to the "bottom" of the situa tion. The "terror sticks," as they are affectionately called by the fresh men, are distributed by two local business establishments at 35c per bundle. One of the distributors es timated that they had sold 1,000 boards thus far this year, figuring the life of a board at' four swats, this would make 4,000 swats In nil or, taking the total number of fra ternity pledges, 11 paddles per capita. Several freshmen interview on the situation expressed themselves rather vehemently. An A. T. O. frosh, whose name we shall mercifully withhold, commented "The actives this year are making quite a hit with the pledges. De spite our efforts we always lose in the end." A Sigma Nu neophite moaned "The whole situation is ironical, we pay for the boards so they can beat us. That s worse than buying a rope to hang your self. When I write home I ask the folks for money for boards and room." Still another frosh, this time a Phi Delt said, "We are really in the swing of things at our house. We can't look sideways without an active with a tree trunk bearing down on us." A Sig Alph frosh stated "The boys at our house have a crude sense of humor when it comes to boards. 1 think they have gone whacky." Union Activities Nov. 10. Social Work luncheon, 12:00.

P-) Maintaining that no university curriculum should attempt to pre pare students to meet the mere problems of a workaday world, President Henry M. Wriston de clared that Brown university will revise its own liberal arts curric ulum next year by introducing a four course plan, wun compic- hensive examinations. The program, he said, will point towards the ideal of more atten tion to the individual student. It will mean more individual effort and less "faculty taxidermy. "I suggest to those people who have so carefully analyzed the day's work of a man and then have developed a curriculum to take care of each one of those activities, that you cannot confine the genius of man in any fancy curricular package, Hour dances! Sixty minutes of pleasure nnd pain! Three thou sand six hundred seconds to get acquainted with new people, new personalities. Sometimes they're fun and yet sometimes tiresome! It's always the same thing. A lovely girl walks up to a handsome Joe College and says sweetly, "May I have this dance?" (While her feet probably hurt and she'd rather rest!) And he, as the gentleman he is, an swers, "Certainly, I'd love to dance with you." And all the time, he's thinking of his down slips, pledge boards, indigestion, etc. So they dunce winding their way around the floor by the very simple process of bumping from one couple to another and being tossed a couple of feet each time. She suddenly says glancing up ward with soulful eyes, "My name is Sally Sorority. What's yours?" He, with an indifferent nod or maybe a bored look, murmers, "I'm Freddie Fraternity. Glad to meet you. Home Town Blah. So they struggle in silence till she, in desperation, says, "Where are you from?" And he, glad of he said. something to say (a definite mas mline mialitv). sticks out his hairy chest and proudly says, "Fu dooka, the best little town in the state. Yes, sir what a town!" She gives a pleasant exclamation and gasps out, "Oh, do you know Sarah So-and-So or uscar some-one-or-Other?" He, tickled to death to talk of friends, Romans or countrymen, immediately an swers and so begins a long, drawn- out conversation on Whosit ana Whatsit and stuff and such. At the end of the dance, they are the best of friends, bosom pals and what have you! Thcv are separated ty anotner couple and introductions take nlace. She: "Oh, sue I want you to met to met ah, er I believe the name is Freddie Maturnity." He, in a hurt tone, says icily, "The name is Freddie Fraternity. " "Oh, yes," she replies, giggling, "how could I forget?" And so Introductions continue, they trade dances and all goes on as before. Time marches on and soon the dance is over. The boys tear out to meet their dates an other boys tear in to get dates. So is the hour dance boring, at times, but gobs of fun and a good opportunity to met new people and to get sore feet!!

"Education as a bulwark of de mocracy in this country still leaves much to be desired." ac cording to Chancellor Harry Wcodbum Chase of New York university. "We are a tolerant people: we are also an apathetic people when It ccme.i to public affairs. I speak generally, and I refer particularly to the rr.nk and file of our folk who have gone to college," Dr. Chase said. "We are pretty good followers, we college trained men and women, but re'.dom do we show inclination toward public lcadcr Fhip. We are good citizens to a degree. But we do not concern ourselves with matters of govern ment as we rhould. We now and aain feel ourselves the 'forgotten' class, forgetting that such a situa tion io mainly our fault. Envy Eritlsh Tradition. "An educational program that fails to seek improvement of this state of affairs is missing some thing.

An electrifying upset would cer tainly fill the bill though. The rest of the season's defeats would seem insignificant in light of a Pitt victory. However, no one is asking for one or demanding one, so let's not expect too much. Big Six All-Amoricfin candi dates arc Charlie Brock and Ed Bock, senter and tackle respec tively. Charlie was hailed by press box observers at Minnesota as the best in the business, and Bock has been a bruising, crash ing, interference breaker for two years now, playing the limit in almost every Iowa State contest. Oklahoma's Waddy Young is an other candidate. Waddy stopped the Husker reverses cold at Nor man earlier this year, has been a chinin? star in every Oklahoma came, and has played almost 50 - . . 4:1 4 u : , and 03 minuies 01 every uu una year for the Sooners. . Husker freshmen who made the 'Pitt team" are just about the first frosh eleven. Rohn and De Fruiter in the backfield are fast, shifty, and hard hitters. Linemen Schleich, Monsky. Blue, nnd Fucn ning are big, fast, rugged and plenty tough. The varsity has no cinch in running through this bunch and works plenty hard to break up its plays. Civil Service Broadens. "At a time when the scope of the civil service is broadening and the functions of government, whether we like it or not, are spreading over new territory, there is justification for emphasis on the opportunities of 'career service and an obligation to pro vide adequate training therefor. To fulfill this need, courses of training for public service are be ing offered by approximately 60 American colleges and univers ities. "Our program should have the broad effects of stimulating ma terially that sense of public re sponsibility that must increasingly dominate our college populace, if higher education is to become a determining factor in the prescr vation of our cherished ideals and principles of democracy," Dr Chase concluded. Announcing a new party on the campus! The radicals with Viona Hader as head radical. Anyone with one or more down slips is eligible for membership, the Alpha Phi red announced. A big fol lowing is expected to fall in line with the motto "Down with down slips." President Wriston said. "Educa tion is in the contact of mind with mind, or of spirit with spirit. It is contacts with fellow stu dents, with teachers, with great minds and spirits of the past whose thoughts are embodied in books. Everything else is subsidi ary," he declared. "Our obligations are to avoid squandering resources, natural or developed, material or human, and to give youth a chance to grow in the best environment possible, trusting them to solve problems as they mature."
