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."

PROVIDENCE, R. I. (I. 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!!

An electrifying upset would cer

seem insignificant in light of a
Pitt victory. However, no one is

Husker freshmen who made the

Schleich, Monsky. Blue, nnd Fucn

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.

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

"Our obligations are to avoid
squandering resources, natural or
developed, material or human, and
to give youth a chance to grow in

they mature."
