Solid rumors
have it that Theta Marjorie Jones
end Phi Psi Dick Harnsberger are
row on the steady list. This hap-
fened, according to a little bird,
ast Saturday nigtit, much to the
surprise of many concerned. Poor
Bob McNutt, another eligible little
lass crossed off of his dating list.
Speaking of Saturday night,
things really happened at the Sig
ma Nu Gold Rush party. A few
f the fellows unexpectedly found
themselves host to one of their na
tional officers who dropped in for
a little surprise visit.
Turnpike dancing
Caturday witnessed many couples
that we were surprised about.
Such as Jawn Mason, ATO, with
his sister; Bob Poe, Phi Dell's
best dressed flash with his young
end attractive mother; Kappa
Alum Mary Lou Kelly with an oid
flame, Curt Gettman, the Art
Murray of the Phi Gam house.
An old affair revived, that be
tween Theta Betty Jean Peterson
and Frank Day, Sigma Nu. A nev;
combination which looks very
pood was that of Theta Maribelle
Hitchcock and Phi Delt Bill Fox.
Candy passing

Jones treated the girls to sweets

man in question, a certain lad

from Maryland.
That recent pinning of Alpha
Phi Dotty Tipton and SAE Dick
Spelts certainly has kept the
"brothers" up on their toes with
a cry for cigars. They gave them
just a week last Monday in which
to tome through with the usual
treats . . . otherwise, the usual
tubbing.

tells us that the long awaited
candy passing between Jane Shaw,
arrow wearer, and Beta Jack Hy

houses.

Inventor announces .
Defense need for corncobs;
ag chemist recognizes use
... no Nebraska supply
Claims of Francis Wilkinson, a
California inventor, that "moun
tains of corncobs soon may be con
verted into nitro-cellulose, gun
powder, synthetic rubber and other
products" are substantiated by the
agricultural chemistry department
which believes such a process is
"quite probable."
R. M. Sandstedt, chairman of the
department, said that no experi
mentation had been done with
corncobs along those lines, but he
could see no reason why such a
conversion could not be made.
He doubted If such a process,
even if employed on a large scale,
would have much effect on Ne
braska farmers. "Nebraska just
doesn't have enough corncobs for
such use to make a lot of differ
ence," he said.
Wilkinson said a plant was un
der construction at Missouri Val
ley, Iowa, to start converting 40
tons of corncobs a day this fall
26,000 bushels a year into defense
products.
Just returned from a conference
with department of agriculture of
ficials at Washington, Wilkinson is
now conducting preliminary re
search in cob processing at his
laboratory in Glendale, Calif.
"The pith in corncobs," he ex
plained, "provides the finest celu
lulose known. The gums from
cobs are ideal for mixing with
natural rubber in the manufacture
of tires."

The department of agriculture
laboratories have certified more
than 50 products including alcohol,
guncotton, motor fuel and gunpow
der, as recoverable from cobs as
soon as economical process could
be developed.
Wilkinson claims he has that
process.
The nation's defense preparation
has caused postponement of re
opening of the Mohawk Drama
festival on the Union college cam
pus this summer.
