THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Wednesday, May 8, 1940
Society ...
Water, water everywhere,
and lots of new diamonds
Water, water, everywhere and
not a drop to drink! With weather
like that oi' yesterday, that often
quoted line was definitely in vo
gue. The drenching rain fore
stalled the parade and practically
everything else that had been
planned, so as a result most of the
campusites became stay-at-homes
or Union loungers.
GLITTER OF DIAMONDS
served to brighten the landscape
as Chi O Ruth Salisbury is now
wearing a sparkler, the gift of
Don Johnson from Randolph Field
in Texas.
AND THEN TOO,
Alpha Chi Kay Bullock is proudly
showing off the lovely diamond
she recently received from Bill
McConnell.
STRAIGHT DOPE
from the Kay lodge on North Six
teenth is that they expect a candy
passing every Monday night from
now until school is out. If they
resort to drastic means to get
what they want, fraternity pin
wearers of the Kappa house had
better watch their steps.
LET'S HAVE FUN!
So said Gamma Phis Maryellen
Robinson and Ruth Coordes, and
they proceeded to splash their way
around barefoot in the rain. Re
minds one of last year's wise
crack, "Aw, c'mon, everybody's
goin' barefoot."
MONDAY NIGHT
election at the Phi Gam house re
vealed these new officers: Gerald
Spahn, president; Paul Reddy,
vice-president; Eugene (Red) Lit
tler, recording secretary; George
Larson, corresponding secretary;
Marvin Thompson, historian.
TOO ROMANTIC
is the campus as new steady deals
are coming to light. The Gamma
Phis take the lead with three:
Adah Lavender and PiKA Bob
Derr; Maryellen McCracken and
Melvin Johnson; Meda Mae Al
breight and Francis Cox.
REGIONAL MEETING
of Kappa Phi was held in Still
water, Oklahoma, last weekend.
Hiva Mills was elected secretary
treasurer for this district.
Members of the local chapter
who attended the conference were
Maxine Maddy. Ruth Surber, Dor
othy White, Billie Arter, Jean
Wagner, Doris Atkinson, Carol
Jean Griffing, Maxine Clopine,
Wilma Stonecipher, and Miss Luc-
ivy Hill, sponsor.
JUDGE WILSON
of the state supreme court, his son
Mr. Walter Wilson, and his daugh
ter, Miss Helen Wilson were Sun
day guests at Wilson hall, when
Judge Wilson presented a photo
graph of his wife, the late Mrs.
Emma Parks Wilson. His wife
was the first dean of women at
the university and the hall is
named in her honor.
PEACE OFFERING
of two doten roses was sent to the
Tri Deltas from the Betas as the
result of the Monday night fra
cas when the Betas "kidnaped"
Cay Deurmeyer, in an attempt to
persuade her to pass candy with
Ted Welton. By way of retalia
tion the Tri Delts took their porch
furniture and had to lock the door
against the invading Betas. The
whole thing was settled when the
porch furniture was returned and
flowers were sent. It does seem
that the Betas have lots of trouble
,01
keeping the decorations (including
trees and furnishings) for the
front of their house intact. May
be they should try bolting things
down.

STUDYING
isn't so bad after all, because lat
est reports have it that a Sunday
evening study session resulted in
the decision to go steady of Theta
Dorothy Swisher and PiKa Bud
Rapp.
SWEETS AND CIGARS
were presented the Tri Delts and
Chi Phis Monday night when
Martha Whelan and Ed Segrist
did the honors.
GREAT CLOUDS
OF MYSTERY
are gradually being cleared at the
Chi O house, because the sisters
have at last decided that Mary
Ellen Comerford really is wearing
the pin of Phi Delt Dick Anwyl.
But don't quote them on that.
BEST WISHES
to Sigma Chi Grant Thomas, hos
pitalized as a result of an ap
pendectomy, who is "doing nicely."
His days are bing brightened by
the visits of the beauteous Pat
Woods of the Theta house.

from judgments and cover eco
nomic losses of those injured.
All not benefited.
The negative side, upheld by
Tappa Kegga, maintained that not
everyone would get the benefits
from the proposed plan, and
quoted statistics to show that al
most one-half of automobile acci
dents which resulted in fatalities
were caused by pedestrains. They
argued that the present plan of
insurance was adequate if ex
tended, popularized, and made
available to the general public.
They also spoke in favor of
wider education as to laws and
obedience to regulations, and
cited the stamping out of tubercu
losis, which was largely due to
carelessness, by publicity and edu
cation. In conclusion they phrased
their plan, as "teaching to avoid
killing rather than paying for what
you kill."
Delta Theta Phi debaters were
James Brogan and Don Farrens;
for Tappa Kegga, Hamilton Reed
and Don Bursik.
Judges were Jack Stewart, Ed
win Carraher, and Elmer Scheeld.

No longer is it a feud with the

get their trousers off, but most go

A real posse
What a posse these hungry
blood-thirsty engineers make as
they band together to seek out an

of that fateful spot, the "tank."
Yelling excuses, swearing that "I

Please God ...
Make if rain, make if pour,
anything but a parade
By Everett Prentice.
Dear Father, who art in heaven,
please for my sake let the pretty
little raindrops splatter all over
the parade grounds. Let them fall
so abundantly that I'll have to bor
row a boat to go home in.
Dear God, I haven't asked for
much these last few days not too
much at least so if you want to
do me a special favor please,
pretty please, tell the clouds to
open up and cry like everything.
I'm not asking you to make it
rain just because there is a parade
today. I wouldn't do that. But do
you realize that if it doesn't rain
in a big hurry there might be a
drought or something? And then
the farmers would have to go on
WPA and that is already too
crowded. In fact, Mr. God, they
can't find enough work for them
the way it .is. So, if you want to
do Mr. Roosevelt a big favor along
checked as they are doused. Mem
bers on this list who have been
checked are: Elton Wiley, John
Ainely, Donald Funk, Arthur Gar
bers, Gerald Jones, Darrel Silvers,
and "Mouse" Woods.
Those who have evaded thus far
are: Richard Aggen, Victor Buet
tell, James Goff, Elmore Hutter
manler, Harry Saunders, Frank
Vette, and Harold Williams.

with answering my little plea, he
and I would appreciate it very;
much.
The grasses are thirsty.
And just think of all the little
grasses and things that are so
very, very thirsty. It costs the uni
versity a lot of money to water
the little grasses and things with a
hose. They raised the tuition fees
once and they might have to do it
again in order that Mr. Gunderson
won't have to use red ink all next
year. If they did that a lot of
poor students would have to stay
home from school because they
wouldn't have enough money to
pay their tuition.
And just stop to think how
much money you would save the
73,893 people of Lincoln. If it rains
the street department won't have
to wash the streets tonight, the
people won't have to water their
lawns, and they won't have to
waste water filling the dry bird
baths.
. . . and to are the robins.
Speaking of birds, you've noticed
how much the robins, and spar
rows and all the other feathered
creatures like rain.
So, dear God, you wouldn't dis
appoint Mr. Roosevelt, the farm
ers, Mr. uunaerson, me nine
grasses, birds, and last and prob
ably least, ME?
