Mary Anna says
Lovebirds begin to sing
come a day, t'wi 1 1 be spring
by Mary Ann Cockle
society editor.
In the mood for a lazy spring
day... some new duds... a tall,
fresh lime coke ... a pipe course . . .
next month's allowance ... a man
w ho's not conceited ... a trip to
Bali ... a typewriter that really
works ... anything by Glenn Miller
...a choice piece of gossip... a
hamburger - with "everything" . . .
no morning classes, but things be
ing as they are, we'd settle for
"one cigarette for two."
TRAGEDY STALKS
the Kappa house, and again the
source of the trouble is an A. T. O.
It's all because Fran Loetterle had
to go and break his foot, so now
he and K. K. G. Jean Woods will be
doing the Kappa formal, the A. T.
O. houseparty, the Interfrat and
the Story Book balls with Fran
on crutches. If there's any conso
lation for Jean, it's only that
everyone knows that any gal who
spends all her time on the dance
floor is really a wallflower.
TRADITION
It is in the Anderson family to
take that trip to the altar nn Oc
tober 13. Most of the Thet hap
ter is speculating right now wheth
er Alice or younger sister Marie
will be first.
PROM TROTTER
Betty Reese, D. G., has a week
end ahead of her that would turn
any coed simply green with envy.
She left Tuesday to be Paul
Speier's guest at the Dartmouth
Winter Carnival, which actually
means a suitcase full of brand new
clothes, three days of winter
sports, dancing to the Sarbary
coast with huge stag lines in at
tendance, a chance to see some of
the world's finest skiers and New
England at its very best.
COMES SPRING
and you'll see dozens abandon
ing their old fancy free policy.
For example, there's D. U. Ed
Smith and Chi O La Vaughn
Owen who seem to be that way
about each other. "What," some
one inquires, "about Ed's heart
beat in Duluth?" And speaking
of Minnesota, Tris Wicks, Tri Delt,
seems to be "just wild about
Harry" someone or other from
that state. But to get back to this
campus, the Fiji's are congratulat
ing brother Jerry Thompson, who
right now seems to be one jump
ahead of his Sig Ep rival, Frosty
Wilson, with Ruth Yourd, Alpha
O. Jerry has a date to the Phi
Gam formal Friday night with
Ruth.
BIG WEEK-END
ahead for Phil Grant, Fiji, and
Jean Craig, Pi Phi, and Elmer
Bauer, Fiji, and Val Lortscher, Pi
Phi, who have decided that three's
a crowd, and will of course be
taking in both the Phi Gam and
Pi Thi formals this weekend. In
cidentally, the Pi Phi's have put
out some pretty swank bids for
their Saturday whingding.
STYMIED
were the Kappa Delts Monday
night when one of their freshmen
passed the candy. Then things be
gan to clear up when the sweets
turned out to be chocolate dum
bells and the pin, a safety pin.
The instigators of all this milarky
happened to be Mickey Kindy and
Mary Eileen O'Donnell.

be doubly thrilled by the talk and
exhibition of Tarbell, famous mas
ter of "eyeless vision" who will ap
pear at the Union Feb. 25. In his
bag of tricks is the famous Hindu
rope trick which has perplexed
people for ages, and his demon
strations of "eyeless vision" are
famous.
Feb. 13 will see Dr. John Ed
ward Furbay Ph.D. lecturing and
showing motion pictures on Li
beria. Dr. Furbay has studied in
Liberia for many years, and is the
president of the College of West
Africa.

take justice into their own hands.
After quiet and systematic plot
ting they give the gangster a short
boat ride from which he fails to
return. The end of the play finds
the two friends planning the south
ern trip in safety and security.
"The play is described by its
author as 'a fairy tale with a
moral.'

Debaters
open season
Woerner and Bessire
meet Creighton team
With the debate season under
way, the affirmative team of the
university will meet the squad
from Creighton university today
at noon before the Hiram club at
the Chamber of Commerce. The
principal speakers are Otto Woer
ner and Howard Bessire.
Try-outs for the debate team
will be held Feb. 29 at 7:30 p. m.
in university hall 106. The sub
ject will be "Government Owner
ship of Railroads," according to
announcement made yesterday by
Dr. H. A. White, professor of Eng
lish. There will be four debates held
with Kansas State this Thursday,
Feb. 8.
Right, wrong - -
(Continued from Page 1.)
see the mistake, and they promised
that the etiquette of Union service
would be better observed in the fu
ture. But, they also believed they had
reasons and excuses to justify their
actions. The repetition of protest
points out that the main course of
the dinner must be past because
the speaker is giving his piece, and,
it is also stated, it's not entirely
their fault if they get the right
and left hand mixed up. In fact
their argument is even backed up
by a series of diagrams which
shows how easily an artist can get
his right and left hand mixed.
Waiteres confused.
Their explanation has got us
mixed up, but here it is: "After
all, everyone knows that you fig
ure out your right hand to be the
one you write with; anyone who
works with either hand with equal
facility gets confused when con
fronted with such a problem. The
right when working with one's
right hand is different from the
right when working with one's left
hand, and that, (according to some
doctrines) is wrong."
Hashers, it is pointed out, prob
ably do not understand the cardi
nal rules of mural painting, so
they are warned not to be alarmed
at any distortion necessary in the
murals. However, the muralists in
dicated they would be more care
ful in the future.

gestions for establishing annual
alumni club projects through
which these various clubs can re
late their existence and perma
nence to the institution. The pur
pose of the pamphlet is to organize
the sentiment directed to this end
and -to help in the advancing of a
program for obtaining gifts neces
sary to the university, Du Teau declared.
The larger gifts are to be used
for a new library building, a new
university hall, an auditorium, and
a fine arts hall. Some of the
smaller gifts are to be used for an
nual scholarships, educational
sound films for the film library,
special Xray equipment.
The pamphlets are being sent to
forty-four national zone officers,
one hundred club officers, Board
of trustees of the University Foun
dation, the administrative council
of the university, the executive
committee of the board of direc
tors of alumni association and to
four hundred interested alumni.
Social director
invites students
to matinee dance
Pat Lahr, social director of the
Union, extends an invitation to all
new students to attend the mat
inee dance at 5 p. m. today in the
Union ballroom. The dances have
been held since the fall of 1938,
and have been very enthusiasti
cally acepted by the students. For
admittance, the students need only
to present their identification
cards . which are checked by the
Corn Cobs.
Popular recordings, broadcast
through a public address system,
furnish the music for the dances.
Proof of the popularity of the
dances is found in the average at
tendance of 400. Dances are held
each Wednesday and are open to
all students.
