DAILY NEDKASKAN SUNDAY, MARCH 5, 1939 FOUR Dear Ruth Reader: After this big weekend I just had to write you to tell you about the big Prom and the Phi Delt party. Both were wonderful. Gene Krupa really built up a few thrills with those drums. He chewed gum constantly, so of course Ed Steeves, Sigma Nu and Beechnut man, was there on the job. Ed gave Mr. Krupa 80 sticks of gum, and it was all chewed before the evening was over four sticks at a time. Another little item about Ed and his dale Margie McKay, Theta, is that whn Ed took her home, father McKay was waiting at the door with a shotgun. The thing is, he didn't realize his daughter was gone, and he was out to catch burglars. Delta Gamma Gerry Wallace was Prom girl, you know, and she had a date with Delt Dow Wil son. After the review line had broken and dancing got under way, I saw Alpha Chi Helen Jennings and Bob Mowbrey; Alpha Phi Marian Dobney and Joe Stephens. DU; Kappa Delta Ruth Adams and Don Goodman; Gamma Phi Peggy West and Harold Paulsen, Pi KA; Dixie Davis, Chi Omega, and Al Kjar, Dert; Billie Hegenberger, Theta, and Ed McKee, ATO; Delta Gamma Betty Reese and Will Sim mons, PiKA; Kanpa Betty Ray with SN Jack Scott, and sister Verna with Gene Walters, Sig Ep. Alpha Phi Pat Jensen was there with ATO Claude Wilson, which THIS IS THE STORY OF ELMER Elmer is what is commonly known as a "phoo" that is, he let things take care of themselves . . . whichever way the wind blew, Elmer went. Sometimes the wind blew Elmer into the rilit place, and sometimes, it blew him into the wronpj place. Most of the time, the wind blew him and his girl into a place she didn't especially like. Hut Elmer was too lazy to think ahead and figure out what he wanted to do and where he wanted to jo. All of which left his girl in a very unhappy and a very uncertain state. Then one day, when Elmer was "blow ing" around as he usually did, he rnl a terrible acci- dent, because he didn't look where he was going and got into a place he didn't want to get in. He almost fainted when he saw how much it cost to have himself "patch ed" up. After that, Elmer vowed he'd know where he was going before he started out. So he begged his girl to forgive him and asked her to go down to the CAPITAL Coffee Lounge where she could cat nil sjic wanted because it cost hira less in the, long run, since he wouldn't have any more accidents, now that he knew he would always go to the CAFITAL! reminds me that I forgot to men tion to you that she now has a collection of pins. . .Claude's, and the Phi Delt pin of Culver Brooks. Last night was the Phi Delt party and a good one. It seemed terribly good not to be wearing a formal and the fellows looked bo relaxed in soft collars. Theta Ann Beard was there with Herb Stuart; Kappa Virginia Stunt with Horace Purtzer; Bill Fox with Joy Bernard from Omaha; Jane Aus tin, DG, with Dick Anwyll; Dale Bumham and PI Phi Charlotte Stahl. The other day in the Crib a funny thing hapened. Dick Ryan, Sigma Nu, was sitting with some Theta's and all at once there was a terrific commotion. Dick jumped up and poured a glassful of water in each girls hat, for they had just favored him with the same. This brings to mind that there is no longer any bridge playing in the Crib, and a few of the famous former foursomes are sadly for lorn. Kappa Delt pledge Doris Grabow is wearing a Nu Med pin now, which might be an indication that her affair with Jack Reilly is going smoothly again. But not bo smoothly is the affair between Alpha Phi Marg Randall and DU John Adkins, for they have called the whole thing off for a while. Her sister Mep Wagner has also been having minor difficulties with ATO George Unthank, but after phone calls between 1 and 4 a. m. and the soothing element of time, the whole thing is patched up. Back in town this weekend were Theta Frances Goodwin and Kappa Ann Hoffman both con tenders for beauty queen in the last two years, and this reminds me that the pictures of this year's beauties are row in Miller's win dow. Guess this just about covers the latest happenings on the campus. Wish you could be here today for the buffet dinner In the Union, but I understand perfectly. Yours searchingly, Sarah Society.
