The effect of the Christmas
spirit hit the ATO's Monday night
when they came thru with a
super serenade plus Christmas
carols and that Tau trio arrange
ment of "East of the Sim"... The
Beta pledges went war-panicky
and staged a Big Parade down
16th St. in pajamas and toting
guns. .. .They're prepared ... If
your tired of reading about the
effects of the Mortar Board party,
don't read this, but we think it
speaks well for interfraternity re
lations when five Kappas took
one ATO, on? Phi Gam, One Phi
Psi and two Sigma Nus to the
affair and they got along so
beautifully that they're planning
a big party in Omaha during vaca
tion to celebrate things in common.
Lucky Star.
Phi Gam Squash Campbell must
have a lucky star somewhere in
the sky: His one and only, from
out of town comes in Saturday to
take in the holiday parties and his
Lincoln love leaves town Friday
for places unknown. . .That leaves
Squash with about eight hours to
catch his breath . . . Remember
Theta Betty Jackson and Delt
Bud Rohde? They'll get married
in April if the army and Uncle
Sam agree... Back to chifdhood
occupations: ATO Bob Sandburg
taking pot shots at a minature
target all set up in the grill, and
the Alpha Phis blowing soap bub
bles filled with smoke....
The annual Beta Christmas din
ner tonight will see Kappa Pat
Catlin and John Edwards, and DG
Flo Scott and Lowe Folsom a
coming couple. . .What we're wait
ing for is to find out whether or
not Treva Munchmore and Frank
Matoon have patched up their dif
ferences. . .Bus Black at the Phi
Delt house waits till the night be
fore to get his dates so the
brothers are worrying about his
prospects for the Christmas party
Saturday night... But you will
see Howard Chapin with Pi Phi
Shirley McNeal and Laird Fisher
with Tri Delta Beep True....

Lincoln Youths
Sloop ivith Plants,
End in Trouble
Two Lincoln youths found that
irregular registration for a Bot
any course leads to trouble.
As a matter of fact, they didn't
register; two lads, one 13, the
other 11 years of age, broke a
window in the UN greenhouse
Friday night and slept there until
awakened Saturday morning by
campus officer R. M. Stephens.
The boys were reported missing
since Thursday when they failed
to appear at Northeast high
school. When Officer Stephens
found them they were almost en
tirely concealed in a burlap bag
bed under a ledge.
They are now continuing their
study of plants at the county de
tention home.
Washington U
Prof Invents
Dust Process
SEATTLE, Wash. (ACP). A
University of Washington profes
sor's dust-elimination invention
literally has snatched a valuable
wood by-product out of thin air.
Professor Frederick K. Kirsten,
school of aeronautical engineering,
has disclosed how his application
of the principle of centrifugal force
to dust-laden air has resulted in a
process by which fine wood dust
"wood flour"-can be reclaimed
for use in plastics.
The machine takes dust out of
the air by setting it in whirling
motion at terrific speed. The dust
is thrown out by centrifugal force
while the clean air is taken off at
the center.
He said wood flour sells for
about $35 a ton.
Smaller units soon will be in pro
duction, he said, for use as dust
filters on automobile carburetors.
