SOLVED The mystery of Phi Gam Bill Hines. Thre years 'ago the Fiji's sent over an item for this column on the pledging of Bill Hines. At intervals since then, we've received little notes telling of Bill Hines" activities. Last fall, the society editor printed something about "Phi Gam socialite Bill Hines fly ing to the Pittsburgh game." Yes terday the Fiji's informed us that Bill Hines bad imported a Kappa from Northwestern for his formal. The rub is this. There is no Bill Hines. There never has been. It's all just a mighty clever publicity stunt that an ingenious fraternity has been able to put over on the Daily for three years. The game is up, boys. DOG HOUSE For Beta Sid Hardeman who, though he may be only absent minded, has gotten himself in an awful lot of trouble at the AO Pi house. A week ago he found him self with two dates on his hands Follies (Continued from Page 1.) Jer.n Ilultz. Alpha Chi Omcg.i.

The best-dressed girl candidates will be judged during the next two months by their appearance on the campus, and at weekend affairs. At various times they will appear before the AWS board, each time in a different costume, so thnt some of the candidates may be eliminated from competition be fore the last week. Another feature of the Follies will be the annual style show with coeds as models. Each house en tering competition has entered two girls as models. Jean Simmons is chairman of the Follies. Mary SteuteviUe is In charge of the best-dressed girl competition, and Janet Harris in charge of skits. VAN D 0 K PHOTOGOAPUS SPECIAL 16 mm for one evening. The girls, being sorority sisters Jo Ley and Mar caret HoDDtrt compared notes. Sid waa really behind the eight ball, so he just rorgot au ms troubles and went, out with some of the boys. Last night the very same thing happened, but this time Sid, feeling especially gallant man aged to call for one of his two dates. TONIGHT You'll probably be picking up the threads of the weekend's gaiety and taking in one of the many buffet suppers. There will be Jean Carnahan with Dick Hiatt, Phi Dclt, Betty Flory and Al Porter, Kappa Sig, Zoe Wilson and Jack Spitler, Delt, at the Chi O house. Ag society Snow drifts keep students from eight o'clocks . ... too bad Snow drifts have made It a bit difficult for some students to make those eight o'clocks. Ruth Myers came straggling in Ed. 63 class ten minutes late Friday morning; after having been pushed out of about three diifta. Charles Huenfeld and Everett Collins came to her res cue, or it might have been worse. Do you suppose we would all have ns good luck a? Margaret Orht and Beryl Weaver If we would follow their example and do a little hitchhiking? Their catch ers were Sigma Nu's. Along with some of the old com binations such as Farm House Harry Uhrenholdt and Helen Thomas, Ida Mae Schaeflock and "Chris" Christensen, AGR Bill Kiester and Irene Jensen, new ones :re coming to the front. Others to be watched are Farm House Ray Heller and Hollvco Connie, and AGR. Charles Lindgren and Ruth Myers. A new couple for the Phi U party is AGR Crcighton Krai and Margaret Orht. Two fires seem to be engulfing Maxine Hacker. Could it be, Max ine, that you're giving up Don Roth for this Van Neste fellow? It wasn't the "new moon" you were after or was it? Diamond rings seem to be mak ing their appearances a bit early 'cause spring really isn't here. Anyway Bob Woods passed the candy the other night and Bernice West is wearingvthe diamond. And Elizabeth Williams got a diamond through the mail the other day from a fellow somewhere in Iowa, Evidently there's a little conflict between Art Moseman's dates for the Phi U. Will there be hair pull ing between Barbara Kouske and Loretta Pfeiffer? They say the best man wins, girls! Someone at the A. G. R. house must have tired of their cheap perfume. Anyway Fid Rousek was rightfully surprised when he found his tux highly scented with the stuff. There was a full moon last Thursday, but Edgar Van Boen ing, A. G. R., waited until Friday night to pcrsuate Eva Peacock that she should wear his pin. Alpha Gamma Rho announces the pledging of Max Laughlin and Dean Waldo. Lyle Roberts, Farm House, seems to be keeping Carol Briggs busy these days since Tom King Is in western Nebraska. It is ru mored that the radio which Lyle's sister gave him for Christmas now sits on Carol's desk.

An undetermined number of Betas were wiped out Sunday in a com bined snowball attack on their north wall by the entire Sig Alph, Sigma Nu, and Sig Ep armies. (Anyway, that's what the above named fraternity men will tell you. Military censorship must be taken into consideration.) ATO and Phi Gam armies routed the invaders after a furious battle on the frozen slopes of R street while hundreds well, any way the contents of the Corn Crib spectators gazed on the scene. The police force of Lincoln put up a powerful fight but finally retreated. Stories vary as to how it began but it is generally agreed that the Sig Alphs, Sigma Nus, and Sig Eps stormed the Betas who ex pressed their pacifistic policy due largely to the fact that very few Betas were home to defend the site. Thereupon the triple entente rushed the A. T. O's and Phi Gams 9 if I I 1 Be a sport, give yourself remember the year you: You can get one for $4.50 cash or $2.00 down and $2.75 May 1st.

Working with under privileged and crippled children in the city has provided an outlet for the latent energies of the girls of the campus interested In social work and in the YWCA. The social serv ice staff has aa its chief duties the help with the occupational therapy work at the Orthopedic hospital and the activities of the children at the South West Com munity center. Under the direction of Miss who mostly ATO's returned a fierce barrage of snowballs. Thereupon a Lincoln police of ficer, an unnamed hero, drove by. His advice that he battle cease was answered with a volley of shots. Bravely the officer wen: Into the ATO house, called his comrades, two of whom rushed to his rescue. The law restricted itself mostly to the "Aw, lissen, fellows" tech nique but the sight of uniforms waa evidently enough to dampen war ardor. A news photographer arrived and the ATO's obliged by forming themselves into a bloc that looked like the Russian army. The cops left, being careful not to turn their backs. Finally peace descended on R street. Only a huge pile of broken snowballs mute evidence of a hasty retreat told of the pitiful plight of the triple entente. Military authorities said war might break out again at any mo ment. 0) c you didn't get a Li sMW OH ir J! 1. WENT TO UNIVERSITY 2. GOT PLEDGED 3. MET HIM 4. MET HER 5. WENT STEADY 6. BROKE UP 7.

GRADUATED Ruth Wilds at the community cen ter the staff helps organize the recreation periods of the children from kindergarten to junior high school. For the most part they have active group games but there is some hand work and story reading. The older boys and girls receive-training in social dancing. The girls go out on Tuesday and at various other hours during the week. Varied work. The type of work at the hos pital is of an entirely varied na ture because the children vary ir. their muscular abilities. Some can move only their legs and some only their arms or hands. The oc cupational therapy work is de signed to exercise these muscles that have been in disuse for a long time and to keep the others from becoming too strained or used in the wrong way. This is not group work but is done by pairs with one child at a time. The girls are assigned to the same ward each time so that they become accustomed to working with the same types of patients. As the holidays roll around the , children make appropriate articles and decorations. At the present time valentines occupy their time and it is things like this, cutting, pasting, and drawing, that they can do most easily. Raffia work occupies some of their time and they also enjoy stories. The pa tients who come under the care of the staff are all very small chil dren. The group works under the direction of Miss Rosalie Breuer, head of the department. The staff is not entirely made up of social work majors but also of other girls who are interested in camp leadership. The staff was added to the University YWCA just a year ago, and during this last semester has been directed by Mary Ellen Osborn. o) Jti A r something to ALL FINISHING GUARANTEED
