Dean Hosp comments on life,
love, 12:30 nights for women
Just returned from the now war
torn Europe is Dr. D. D. Whitney,
head of the university's depart
ment of zoology. Planning to sail
home on an English vessel on
which he had made reservations,
Dr. Whitney, at the last moment,
was forced to make new plans be
cause the ship was conscripted
for British military use.
Traveling by train across Eng
land, two hours behind schedule,
and then by boat, Whitney and
others arrived in neutral Amster
dam, to find that fortunately the
Dutch liner was still waiting for
them. By taking advantage of this
opportunity to leave, Dr. Whitney
managed to leave Lurope only a
few clays before the outbreak of
hostilities.
Traveled In far north.
According to Dr. Whitney, the
boat traveled a path across the
far-north Atlantic to save time.
There was no black-out at night,
lights burned brightly, no zig-zag
course was followed. Most neutral
ships have accepted this as the
safest way to travel. The word
"Holland" was painted in large let
ters across the top of the vessel
so that it could be easily identified
from the air.
Kut sinplp submarine hattle-
i ship or gun boat was sighted on
the trip. Only one ship, an oil
fish.

Most ambitious of present fra
ternity building projects on the
campus is that of Zeta Beta Tau,
which is investing $18,500 in re
modeling the house on the south
west corner of 14th and R sts. Pur
chase of new furnishings to the
amount of $2,500 will bring the
cost of renovation to $21,000.
Expecting to move into the new
house sometime in December, the
fraternity is occuping temporary
quarters at 1515 L st.
When finished, the house will
front R st. with a pair of French
doors opening onto 14th st., the
former entrance. The building wil
be enlarged to accommodate 36
house men on the dormitory plan,
with a large dorm and study rooms
on both second and third floors.
The bHHcment Is being extended
16 feet along R St. to include a
pine paneled chupter room and a
larger dining room, while on the
main floor, the addition takes in a
lounge and house mother's rooms.
The exterior of the house Is be
ing reflnishd over the original
stone with a Urge cream stone
similar to that used on the Fhi
Delt house.
Fixtures and furnishings In a
comfortable but modern styling
will be purchased to harmonize
with the interior color scheme.

choosing affiliations-their liking
for individual members of each
sorority.
Among the suggestions for cor
recting the situation, in addition
to going back to summer rushing
was deferred rushing with only
second semester freshmen, or
those of higher standing, allowed
to pledge.
Several of the coeds-to-be
thought that certain sororities at
tracted a definite type of girl, but
they differed as to classifications.
One rushee mentioned one house
as having mostly short girls, an
other for sophisticated women,
another for jolly 'gals," always
laughing. Other sorority "types
were: Social, scholastic and in-
between. On the other hand, one
girl observed that she found many
"types" in each house. Either
way, however, Nebraska's Greek
women seem to be somehow
"typed" In the minds of many of
their rtishees.
And here's a tip for over zeal
ous sororities who are inclined to
put on a bit of pressure in rush
sessions all of the girls asked said
they definitely disliked high pres
sure methods In fact, two de
clared that such tactica antagon
ized them. They prefer a sincere,
honest approach which does not
"run down" rival houses and
Life, love and 12:30 nights on
the Nebraska campus make an ab
sorbing field to explore for any
dean of women, thinks enthusias
tic Helen Hosp, the new head of
women. Here, in paraphrase, are
some of her feelings.
LIKE:
I love it! I have never come to
a place where so much enthusiasm
and understanding was shown me
immediately. I'm anxious to get
acquainted with every phase of
the life of Nebraska's women and
hear their views,. I want to learn
about the problems and situations
in need of improvement from the
students themselves.
I have no specific plans for put
ting into effect this year. The de;in
of women shouldn't make ner
plans go through just because th"y
are her plans, and I don t intena
to make any until I have become
acquainted with the needs of the
women on this campus. I am fairly
confident that the students will
take the initiative themselves :n
expressing their desires, for all the
student leaders I have met tlru
far seem to be outstanding in abil
ity and enthusiasm.
And I LIKE your XMeurasna
weather. People ask me if 1 don't
just hate those hot winds and I
tell them that is not the wind; it's
the breeze. And I've moved into
Ellen Smith hall to stay because
I want to be right down in the
thick of things.
LOVE:
I'm not interested in putting re
strictions on the college girl's ac
tivities. I am interested in the girl
developing a feeling of responsibil
ity for good standards and good
taste in all her associations -with
men especially.
12:30 NIGHTS:
It's a business matter. I don't
believe in violations simply be
cause I believe in doing things in
a businesslike way and I think it's
unbusinesslike not to stand by
what you have agreed to put into
effect. It's not a question of
whether the time is good or bad;
whatever the girls themselves
agree upo(j as reasonable is ail
right so long as they are faithful
to their decision.
SUMMARY:
"Here comes our Nebraska
'breeze.' You hold down the desk."
which leaves the rushee free to
make her own comparisons.
As for other factors which in
fluence a bewildered freshman in
selecting a sorority, one girl said
national ranking is very impor
tant to her as she is not sure
of remaining at the same school.
To some, the comparative beauty
and comfort of the various houses
means nothing; to one, that is a
major consideration.
Girls already aiming for activi
ties naturally are influenced by
Mortar Boards and other promi
nent activity women, but, say
these embroyo publications work
ers and A. W. S. presidents, each
house boasta its own quota of
activity sharks which gives none
the advantage here.
