THE DAILY NEBRASKA
Tuesday, April 2,
With April foolery . . .
It's hard to believe anything,
but this is the gospel truth
By Mary Jean McCarthy.
After all of the April foolery
from yesterday it is almost im
possible to believe anything any
more. Answering phones that no
one rang, drinking coffee with salt,
and various other pranks kept
most eveiyone on the jump. But
then after all, spring is still here
or there or somewhere. And here
is a poem just for you.
L&y? us lift,
Our voice and sing,
Like we was glad,
Thi t it are spring.
SEEMS LIKE
Flu DH Cliff Meier is all a glit
ter, reason being, he is migbty ex
cited ovei his approaching initia
tion. The big day will be Sunday
and if you want to know how far
away tiirt is, just ask him, for he
has it down to the very second.
it is almost impossible to speak to
him, and it used to be that he
would always at least murmur
'hello.' But then we can always
blcme it on the weather, you
know how it is.
JUST SO
ATO Chuck Davis doesn't forget
Annie Thomas, DO, she has had
her picture taken and it will soon
be shining brightly in his room,
we're hoping it keeps shining
too.
MORE FUN
Among exploding cigarettes,
sparkler matches, and a tin birth
day cake, the Gamma Thi s had an
April Fool candy passing last
night between Betty Atkinson and
Bob Biegal. a Sig Ep from Wis
consin. It all ended with Betty
in the bathtub.

logues with only dark heavy valvet
drapes. The numbers she presents
are original.
THE GALS

the ins ar.d outs or maybe it
should be Tins and pouts. Jeanne
Craig is now wearing Fiji presi
dent Phil Grant's pin and the new
est steady deal is between Virginia
Clemans'and ATO Johnny Mason.
While on tiie other hand Millie ;
Mort and Nate Holman are no j

Gadd exhibits
dance routine
STAR LIGHT
star bright, whose little star are
you tonight ? That is the question
dominating at the Sigma Nu house j
for their boys are losing their pins
fast. Bud Bisard isn't going to t
have his very long, so they say, ;
and John Spence is already minus j
his. "The fellows say the lucky '
gal is Bobbe Fpps.
PATIENCE
is certainly a virtue for Theta
Betty Jo Byllesby after her most
perfect week end and ability to
keep a secret. Friday night she
accepted the pin of Kappa Sig
Dick Bisgard and kept it all to
herself until after her initiation
Saturday night then, blossomed
out in two. Hers and Dicks. Con
gratulations B. J. you certainly
deserve it.
FROM FAR AWAY
came a very beautious Kappa Al
pha ring and it is now on the
finger of Kappa Joanne Lyman.
It traveled all the way from Okla
homa and Jack Jacobs.
SEEN AROUND
again is Sigma Nu Howard Mar
shall who has been visiting Mar
joiie Barntt in New York. He
will always know what time it is
too, for sl.e presented him with a
beautiful watch for his birthday.
Nice goir Howie.
WARNING
to all these girls who may. fnot
April i but may. accept ATO pins,
for the boys have found the nic
est, wettest, coldest, dampest lake
outside toi'n to dunk the kid.ios
in. The onlv solution b-ing-to
pass the $weets.
SEEN AND HEARD

PRINCE,

ventions. no productive thinking is
necessary for existence, thus we
have nothing to think about. The
savage is a savage because he has
done no manual labor.
When asked at what point in the
history of evolution man and ani
mals separated, Hooton said that
the separation probably occurred
about 15 million years ago. when
I humans began their progress from
a generalization and then began to
specialize. According to Hooton,
j animals which seem to be almost
i human are the result of the ani
I nials making unsuccessful at
, tempts to be human at the time
of separation.
Enemy U theory?
! "Isn't Christianity the enemy of
all this theory of yours?" was the
, next qeustion asked of the pro
fessor. "Religion is all right, in its
i place," he replied, "but I don't see
j any purpose in it. We must forget
about the so called "sanctity of
I life and concentrate on three
, things. First, we must make an
, effort to prevent the overproduc-
tion of morons. Second, we must
give these tests I spoke of. and
third, we must obtaiin a know
ledge of better breeding."
