Hallowe'en
alias pledges,
In the erie night of the Hallo
we'en moon, witches and black
cats ride above trees and roofs on
long broom sticks, goblins play
pranks on unsuspecting victims,
ghosts hold their annual conven
tion in the haunted house among
the pines, and the "devil rides the
earth that weird night." Thus runs
the tradition.
The Nebraska campus has its
spooks, too, in more ways than
one. But Hallowe'en doei not take
account of those strange people
that make timid freshmen long for
the security of home, and papa

banquet
More than 150 students and
faculty members of the college of
business administration attended
the tenth annual recognition ban
quet sponsored each year by that
college last night. Highlights of
the night's banquet program was
an address by Frank Fogarty,
commissioner of the Omaha Cham
ber of Commerce, on "The Plus
Values of a Business Career." Be
sides Fogarty's address the ban
quet program included novelty
numbers by a German band.
The plus values of a business
career, the Omahan explained, lie
in:
1. The business man's part in
the building of the American civili
zation. 2. The business man's part in
the building of the individual com
munity. 3. The business man's part in
the building of the welfare of the
community through various em
ployment and other programs.
Moral greatness.
Discussing the importance of
the business man, Fogarty de
clared that his moral greatness is
his sense of responsibility to the
employees, to the stockholders and
to the public.
Man's secret of success lies in
knowing his equipment, knowing
his opportunities, in persistant try
ing and in working like the devil,
periphrased the speaker.
Purpose of the banquet each fall
is to grant recognition to the stu
dents outstanding in the bizad col
lege during the previous year.
Largest single award was given
to William Bevans Williams, Lin
coln .senior, who won the John K.
Miller graduate fellowship. This
$500 fellowship is annually
awarded to the senior in business
administration who makes the
highest record and plans to do
graduate work. The fellowship is
given by the Cooper foundation
of Lincoln.
Individual awards.
Other individual awards went to
Erie M. Constable. Paul J.
t Hstandig, and Irene E. Sellers, all
of whom graduated last June. Con
stable won the Alpha Kappa Psi
l itizenship prize, annually awarded
to the senior student ranking
highest in professional subjects
and student activities during the
fin-t seven semesters of the college
