Maybe you know that the Kap
pa who refused the election to Phi
Beta Kappa is Dorothy "Casey"
Campbell. Why? Being married in
March to Gene Hurtz, Beta of
Amherst. And with only one se
mester needed to graduate. (Tch,
tch)!!!
Stcimming pool
on second floor of the Delta Gam
house now after the hair washings
given Jo Wray and Jessie Moore
who aren't giving in with candy
for wearing the Beta pins of John
Stoddart and Bob Lichty. These
Beta's do hold out it seems, for
the Pi Phi's doused Jane Shaw
and Georgia Walker, again who
have the pins of Jack Hyland and
Stan Huffman.
Best-dressed
candidate Pat Prime of the Alpha
Thi house just went by with Bob
Hageman, Kappa Sig. This brings
up a question that has been both
ering several people. Are Bob and
Tat going steady, or what?
Thought she was somewhat air
corps minded.
Then too, what is this we hear
about Alpha Chi beauty queen
candidate Marge Stewart who
didn't go to the Kappa Sig formal,
a Kappa who did, and DU Dean
Callen who only thought he had a
date with Marge to the Interfrat
Ball, and Sig Chi Bill McKerney
who really had the date? Confus
ing, isn't it?
Speaking of Sigma "Theta" Chi
Bill McKerney, who knows where
he and Phi Delta "Theta" Bill Ott
man will be this Friday night
when Theta formal is in swing?
Wonder how the girls decided if
and who would take Delt Bud
Rhode ?
By the way, let's hope that
Becky Wait, who was taken to
the hospital Monday night, will
be up and around in time for the
party.
New pledges
at the Phi Delt house are Don
Grey, Bob DeVinie, Phil Reed,
Newman Buckley, and Vance Sal

languages, wrote "The Spanish
Translations of 'Than' " which was
printed in a recent issue of "His

the article "than," made a syn

structions corresponding to Eng

Test-
(Continued from Page 1.)
After the outdoor tests are
made, the tractor is driven into
the laboratory and belted to a
cradle-mounted General Electric
dynaometer to determine the
belt horsepower. Twelve to
twenty hours are usually required
for inside tests.
From these tests is obtained in
formation such as the maximum
belt horsepower, maximum draw
bar horsepower, amount of power
delivered per gallon of fuel con
sumed, amount of oil and water
used. These results are sum
marized on a large sheet, for
every tractor that is on sale in
Nebraska.
Tractors are not rated as
good, better, best or worst
that is left up to the farmer's
judgment. Since these are the
only compulsory tractor tests of
their kind in the world, orders

for copies of the bulletins are

Mr. Zink, engineer in charge of
the tests, received a letter the
other day from a Buenos Aires
saelsman for one of the tractor
companies saying that the testing
reports were used virtually as a
"Tractor Bible" in Argentina.
One of the largest jobs handled
by the department was a 6 cylin
der diesel that was capable of
furnishing 145 horsepower on the
belt, 125 horsepower on the draw
bar and had sufficient power to
pull 14 tons.
Many people in Nebraska are
misinformed as to the source of
the money needed for the sup
port of these experiments. Not
one cent is appropriated by the
state of Nebraska.. Manufac
turing companies must pay $500
test fee for each tractor tested
in addition to the cost of the
fuel and oil used. In 1940, the
27 tractors tested brought in
$13,500 to pay for operating ex
penses and to buy new equip
ment as it is needed.
The 20 testing seasons have
helped bring about many new de
velopments or refinements in
every part of the tractor. Some
of the more outstanding have been
angle lugs to spade lugs to rub
ber tires, improved carburetor,
manifold and combustion chamber
design, improved fuels, open cast
gears on plain or not too good
anti-friction bearings have
changed to high grade cut steel
gears on ball or roller bearings
running in an oil-tight case.

Dr. Pound was one of the 28 dis
tinguished linquistic, phonetic, and
dictionary-making scholars who
worked with Dr. Throndike. She
has put more than 40 years of re
search into study of words adn the
learning habits of young people.
The publication of Dr. Thorn
dike's dictionary is the first time a
group of men and women of inter
