(Continued from page 1.)
the desirability and dire need for the dormitories. Hut there
can he n question as to whether these dormitories with their
fine draperies and furnished rooms, their easy chairs and hair
dryers, are really accomplishing a sorely needed good where
that Rood is most urgent.
There can be no denying the ease with which one's annual
budget of expenditures can be decreased. But who in this
agricultural stale does not know the proximity to impossibility
the raising of one's expenditures approaches.
The average sorority girl on this campus spends approxi
mately $80 a year more for board and room than does a girl
living in a dormitory. On the other hand, few girls living in
rooming houses pay even as much as $2.r0 a year, or $G0 less
than the costs in the dormitories. Hence it seems evident that
a large part of the additional 120 girls living in the university
buildings next year will come from the ranks of those who
would ordinarily live in a comfortable sorority.
With such luxurious dormitories, with prices so high as
to compete with the affiliated groups, the dormitory system
is failing before it is even inaugurated. The women who have
money to spend, unless socially opposed, should live in sorori
ties. The poor girls, without money to spend, without the
. ability to choose between comfortable places to live, could
then be lifted out of the hovels into which they have been
forced.
It is economically as well as morally unsound to operate
the new dormitories on such a financial basis as to attract
women from the sororities, thus leaving comfortable quarters
unfilled, while there are still women living in filthy, degrading
and unhealthful rooms of the city. It is not too late. The two
new units can si ill be operated on a less luxurious plan and
afford decent dwelling for a large portion of the unaffiliated
women.
The value of progress can only be judged by the quality
of its improvement. To decrease the number of sorority
women in operating the dormitories without improving the
lot of the unlucky students pushed into the squalid surround
ings of many of the rooming houses, is not only showing our
backs to progress, it is a crime against intelligent minds.

Detroit football center
disproves ancient theory,
wins speech contest
DETROIT, Mich. That age old
theory that football players are
great, big, strong, silent men was
disproved for the second time In
three years at the University of
Detroit, when James Murray
Temple, a varsity center, became
the second Titan gridder to win
tthe school's annual "After Dinner
Speech" contest.
Many of the contestants felt
that Temple should have per
mitted them a handicap. "After
all," said one of the rival speak
ers," these football players rpeak
at high school athletic busts all
during the year, and they're prac
tically professional after dinner
speakers by the time this contest
rolls- around."

each has an individuality of its
own.
Entrance from Carrie Eclle
Raymond to both units is to be
provided in closed, heated passage
ways, on the first and ground
floors and the units are connected
at the north end by a closed ar
cade. Both units face west, with
Love hall fronting on 16th street,
while Northeast hall fronts the
enclosed courtyard between the
two units.
Rooms primarily same.
Rooms in the new wings are to
be primarily the same as those in
Carrie Belle Raymond. In order to
keep the furnishings in all of the
halls alike, an extra chair and
bookcase will be added to the furn
ishings in Raymond hall.
Every student room is to be
equipped with a lavatory with hot
water; a double clothes closet con
structed with individual facilities
for each occupant; two standard
size single beds, each equipped
with a mattress pad and pillow;
two dressers; two straight chairs
and an occasional chair; a double
study desk, and a bookcase. Rugs
and draperies are furnished with
each room.
However, each student will sup
ply her own bed linen, blankets,
spreads, scarfs, towels, and per
sonal accessories.
Shampoo, laundry rooms.
The ground floors, in both units,
contain shampoo and laundry
rooms fully equipped. Love hall,
in addition, will have a large
recreation room and a comfortable
study room, available to resi
dents of both units. Additional
rooms on the ground floor in the
Northeast hall include six student
rooms, all above groi-nd level; a
bathroom; attractive lounge, and
an "isolation unit" or infirmary.
The upper floors of both new
units will be very similar. Or.
the first floor, there are parlors,
a kitchenette, director's suite, stu
dent rooms and a bathroom. The
second and third floors are given
over to student rooms in both
units; these floors are provided
with splendidly decorated lounges,
well equipped kitchenettes and
shampoo rooms.
All of the units will have laun
dry rooms where the students may
do their own laundiy. There are
to be complete tub and drying pro
visions in the new halls as well as
in Carrie Belle Raymond. Also
included in the plans are large
public parlors where the girls will
be able to entertain. Aside from
these parlors will be the auxiliary
parlors on the other floors which
are for the private use of the girls.
Ample window space.
All three halls are 9 designed
that every room contained in them
has ample window space. This ex
plains the large court which is to
be left between the halls. It has
been proportionally figured out to
the height of the building so that
those rooms on the first floor fac
ing the court would be able to
have plenty of sunlight
The management of the dining
halls and housekeeping is under
the supervision of the house and
food manager, who is generally re
sponsible for living conditions in
the halls. A high standard of
housekeeping efficiency is main
tained, with regular maid service
for weekly cleaning of the rooms;
however, residents arc responsible
for keeping their own rooms in
orJer daily.
All eat In Carrie Belle.
Residents of all three halls will
eat in the dining and ballroom of
Carrie Belle Raymond. Special
folding tables have been purchased
for the ballroom so that the floor
may be easily cleared for dancing,
More cooks will be added to the
kitchen staff and the cooking fa
cilities and equipment will be in
creased.
Any woman student of the uni
versity may make application for
residence in the new halls. The
applicant must fill out the appli
cation card which is mailed to the
social director with a deposit of
$10. On the back of these card&
is a contract which states the
rates and information concerning
the hall. The student is bound to
fulfill this contract.
Applications for rooms will be
considered in the order in which
they are received by the director.
From information fnind on these
application cards, an attempt is
made to assign roommatts of sim
ilar age and interest to each glrL

Delta Delta, former society editor
Of the DAILY NEBRASKAN, who
so kindly consented to poke her
nose into the campus merry-go-round
once more.
Somehow or other we erstwhile
society editors never say die and
so-o-o your last year's hauntress
returns for a final snoop about
the campus. We'll skip the prattle
about who was where and why
this week-end and get on with our
sleuthing.
! ! !
Onlv last week when Marj Bar-
nett, of the Sigma Nu and Pi Phi
Barnetts, was playing bridge at
the Kappa house who should walk
in but Howard Marshall, last sea
son's love, looking a little less
heart-on-the-sleevisn than usual.
The object of Sigma Nu's hand
somest seemed to be young Jean
Humphrey, who claims she severed
the recent D. U. tieup by dint of
parental objection. Marj, of course,
showed her medals by trumping
an ace.
! ! !
The Chi Phi house mother be
came just a wee bit huffy Wednes
day when the maid reported that
one of the boys had a creature
named Lulubelle in his room. So
Lulubelle was carried down to the
indignant chaperon's room. It took
two men to carry her, though she
didn't put up much of a struggle.
Lulubelle was a beautiful blonde.
But even the house mother chuck
led when she turned out to be a
creation of cardboard and crayon.

And who should we run across
in our scampers about the campus
Thursday, but D. U.'s B. D. O. C.
drawing fancy initials on his note
took. The initials were, of course,
B. L. G. Could it be the spring, or
is Joe Stephens given to art for
art s sake ?
! ! !
There seems to be a few others
who are picnic weather stricken or
at least the best indication is the
timely appearance of the old line
with its face lifted in some cases
but wherever girls get together
they're bound to have something
in common to discuss and usually
it's a man's line. Just now we're
tracking our brains to think of
some of the best one's we've heard
second hand, of course.
The first slip we drew out of
the hat is Paul Bradley's old
standby to his date "But, of
course, I date only queens!" Dow
Wilson adds a restriction, "I just

who is trained and experienced in
dealing with college students. An
nouncement was made Saturday of
the appointment of Miss Katherine
Hendy, Kappa Kappa Gamma, '37,
as new social director over the
halls. She will succeed Miss Clem
entine Newman, who has been di
rector at Carrie Belle Raymond for
the last two years.
Residents of the hal's are to be
under the social rules and regula
tion of the Associated Women Stu
dents, an organization which gov
erns all women students of the
university. Certain special hall
regulations have also been set up.
All residents are expected to ob
serve these rules..
A social fee of $1.25 per semes
ter covers the entire program of
parties and other social events
which the student organization
plans; there ares no extra assess
ments. Traditional parties carried
over to the new halls from Carrie
Belle Raymond will be the Christ
mas party. Senior Dinner, May
Morning Breakfast, birthday din
ners and informal pajuma parties.

Commenting upon them, Mr. Davis
covered the plans briefly saying,

room will be tiled and there will

dates to LOOK like
queens."
From the ridiculous to the sub
lime we advance with Harry Ep
person's "Someday I'm going to
marry a girl like you." ,For the
rest of the evening Harry's date la
absorbed in visions of herself as
the "Dream Girl of Delta U" while
Harry is free to devote his
thoughts elsewhere. Then there's
a smooth, smooth Beta who pro
tests his feelings with "You appeal
to something fine within me." Oh
ileah!
We tried to think of something
Bob Martin might have uttered
but all recollection of Bob's com
pany manners seems to be quite
a clear picture of the Martin tnan
asleep, his date left to shift for
herself. But then there's Brother
Waugh, whose actions speak
louder than words sometimes.
To save a few defenseless girls
some embarrassment, we chose a
composite line from the Sigma Chi
house. Given a chance any Sigma
Chi will use it. It's the old chorus
of "We want plenty of house."
Need more be said?
! ! !
The A. T. O.'s not a whit less
opportunists at heart prefe to be
more subtle about it, if they can.
Kent Tupper's "You're sweet" ex
emplifies what is usually a good
beginning. While Bob Sandburg
claims "All I want to do is darce."
Hmmrn! Bill O'Connor's open
topped sport roadster speaks for
itself.

A lot of Phi Gams are going
steady which might indicate that
some of the other boys could take
heed there. Harvey Minnick does
the Acacia's proud with that "At
last I've found you air" at an
hour dance.
f '
Speaking of hour dances Ray
Smith, one of Jan Lau's flames of
the current season did right proud
by himself. To one of the girls
he murmured, "Couid I just call
you up and talk to you. I would
feel so much more at ease over
the telephone. You're so beautiful,
you frighten me." And to her
roommate he parried, "I came just
to dance with you. I've been
watching you all evening.'

with a scene from one of Garbo's
