September 16, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKAN 7 I ' ' 1 V f&r 7 X : Yi dv lit- fv " . Mil I ft , o What with a lot of people we know not back and slews of people we don't know arriving there are a couple of things possible to say - anyway, welcome, and did you know that there are some three Mortar Boards who are supposedly directing their activities in foreign channels . . . Marian Bradstreet, Gamma Phi; Both Howley, and D. G. Mary Kline. Mortar Boards Bradstreet and Kilne were num bered among this summer's brides ...of which there were many: Marian Kidd, Theta, who was mar ried to John Smith, A TO; Ruth t.Yinklin, Alpha Chi, to Boh Denny, Phi Sig of a couple of years ago; Lou Benson. KKG. to Boo Ball, Phi Psi and speaking of Phi Pai s, Warren Radke and DG Ginny Wheeler join the same list along with Chi O Alyce Hackman who was married to Bill Kutlko in Seattle, Wash., Saturday. Amid the marriages a few pins changed hands, too.,. like Gene Studt who unpinned a Kappa key from Al Adamson's Sig Nu star, while brother John Ainley's pin was accepted by Ann Beard, KAT ...John Sullivan's mighty happy these days over seeing his Kappa Sig pin along side of Mary Black's Chi Omega pin... which reminds that several of the girls are sug gesting awfully attractive inter ests for one Sig Alph's attentions while the girl who wears his sweetheart pin is out of town... wagers are being placed daily on how n'ock-lotmer Vili ULuneis ,pm hold out. t And the latest bulletin on Bob Btirre.ss placing his SAK pin on a Chicago fan dancer is that she also took that off. Just 50 percent of rr-1ntof mutual -attractions back . . .one prime' example is that of the brothers Nelson of the DU domi cile, for Bob isn't and his Tri iove Olive Spieth is, while Jack is and Pi Phi Agnes Wanek isn't, and South American students wonder 'Do we ever study?9 "Do American students ever find time to study?" students in Buenos Aires asked Mia Helen Hosp, university dean of women, during her summer sojourn in South America. "Their negative impression of the U. S. study situaiion is doubtless for med," she says, "by the movies of collegiate life made here which almost never show a student studying, but rather stress campus social life." No social life on SA campuses. Miss Hosp reported that there is no social life on the campuses there, only such forms of recrea tion as ping pong and tea parties on special occasions. Neither are athletics, dramatics, nor music in cluded in the college curriculum. Throughout her trip, however, she noted that a majority of the students are studying and speak ing English, and that South American coeds dress very simi larly to girls on the Nebraska campus. She was also very im pressed with the courtesy shown her by the students, and in return for the kindness shown her, sent the students of La Plata college a subscr iption to the Readers Di gest in Spanish for their social room. Miss Hosp spent much of her summer vacation in the countr ies of our Latin neighbors, visiting such picturesque and historical places as Rio de Janeiro, Lima, Buenos Aires, and Guaruja Islands, and Guayquaor, the home of the tagua tiee. Apparently there is a friendly feeling for the United States on the South American continent. "The people seemed very cordial, warm hearted, and intensely in terested in their neighbors to the north," said Miss Hosp. "They are very good neighbors not only in a business way, but because they have much culture and back ground to offer us. This inter- query. Does Agnes have a DU pin or doesn't Agnes have a DU pin? Confusing, isnt it. Oh yes, and from the Alpha Phi house comes the news that Johnny Adkins' DU pin is in the house on Margaret Randall .... One steady ileal that burned out during the warm weather is that of John Mason, ATO, and Pi Phi Virginia Clemans if seeing Johnny around with Max Fuller also of the Pi Phi house is indicative. . . when Norm Harris the guy who directs the DAILY'S destinies came back he left his SAM pin on Bernice Silverman of Omaha. One blind date that opened Bob Livingood's eyes was with Evelyn Clapp, Kappa pledge... the same Evelyn Clapp who caused Stan Truehlsen to spill Theta tea all over the place when he saw her lush week. Temporarily absent the fore part of this week were a number of NU girls, all with destination Omaha. Ak countesses were en tertained at the Omaha Black stone the same day. Helen Severa, AXiD of Nebras ka and Northwesern who was col lege editor for Harpers College Bazaar and one of the five win ners in the Mademoiselle contest, is back this year for more Ne braska education. Brr.ndy Backlund and Kmily Hess,of the Phi Delts and Thetas are going across the river and will go to school at Iowa... and we'll end on a matromonial note for two marriages which are slated r real soon are those of Maty Anna Cockle, Tri Delt ex-editor ot tle Rag's society, to Dick Wood- ard and B. J. Ferguson, Chi Omega, to Tommy Schummacher of Randolph Field.

Professor Butterfield studied busi ness English at the University of Nebraska where he received his B. A. degree in the subject. An earlier book by him, "The Busi ness Letter in Modem Form," was published in 1939. Climax of all sorority rushing is preference night when all the Greek girls stand in front of their respective houses to await their new pledges. The night is quite an event and several thousands come to see and hear the girls scream as the pledges come to the houses. The excitement was too much for Alpha Phi pledge Lois Christie (center) who fainted just be Fifteen university sororities pledge 230 coeds as rush week ends Fifteen University of Nebraska sororities pinned their riblxins on 230 coeds in a four-day rush week concluding with "preference night" Tuesday. For the first time, all out-of-town rushces lived in Raymond hall during rush week instead of in hotels, private homes and board ing houses.
