CAUSING a sensation, the Kappa Sigs ar rived at the Sigma Kappa house Saturday evening for an hour dance, dressed in hayseed and cowboy outfits. The reason: They were ready for their annual barn yard brawl house party. Theme recipe (Continued from Page 1.) against failure and also helps fill up the page. Be vague Be as vague as you can. Deal in great, meaningless generalities and you too may be a First Lady, or even a Second Gentleman. If you're specific, somebody may trip you up and you'll fall flatter than a bride's souffle. (Incidentally, it's a good idea to use lots of trite similes like "bride's souffle.") Make your theme as unreadable as possible. If you use Ink, smudge it well with the thumb. If a typewriter, go back over your mistakes and hit the wrong keys. If you make it hard enough to read, the teacher may decide you're a genius and give you an A plus. Otherwise, he'll see thru you like a skirt on a windy day. The best theme we ever read Movie Clock Nebraska: "Roaring Twen ties," 1:00, 3:14, 5:20, 7:34,9:48. Varsity: "Golden Boy" 1:00, 3:10, 5:15, 7:25, 9:35. Lincoln: "20,000 Men a Year" 1:00, 4:01, 6:02, 10:30. "Made at Night" 2:41, 5:42, 8:43. Stuart: "Disputed Passage" 1:00, 3:14, 5:28, 7:42, 9:56. Klva: "Four Feathers" 2:30, 5:55, 9:20. "Winter Carnival" 1:00, 4:25, 7:45. Liberty: "Eternally Yours" 1:00, 3:10, 5:20, 7:30, 9:40. was written by a boy whom we'll call Smith. On second thought we'll call him Brown, just to make SURE you don't know whom we mean. Brown's (Smith's) theme started out like this: Dere teacher. I don't know what I awt to rite about for a theme so I will tell you about my dawg, Shorty. My dawg Shorty is the best traned dawg you ever seen. He will bring home Iamb chops well as skunks, old overshoes, au tomobeel tires and my ole man. At this point the teacher had such a splitting headache that he wrote an "A plus" on the paper and dropped it down the mail chute from where it was sent to Hollywood and made into a film which won 12 loving cups as the worst picture ever made. 'My best recipe' The trouble with most themes is that the students try to say some thing. Never try to say anything in an English theme! Remember. STYLE IS THE MAN! Write that big letters and put it over your desk. Write it on scraps of paper and burn them slowly over a steaming cauldron of lava in the light of . the moon while witches dance and owls scream. Make your themes as dull as a Sunday school teacher's idea of Good Clean Fun. Make them fairly shout boredom. Your teachers will love you and maybe some day Men, here are the sororityv big shots active or pledge Listed below are the active and pledge officers of the 15 social sororities on the Nebraska cam pus.
