BY BOB McNUTT.
I dropped a nicket into the slot,
there was a moment's hesitation,
then the wonderful music of Glenn
Miller came out beautifully. I
looked into the limpid pools that
were the eyes of my coke date, we
threw a few choice phrases back
and forth to show that we both
had acquired that veneer known
as "culture." I dug deep Into my
pocket for the necessary ten pen
nies to get out the door, paid the
check, walked three blocks to the
Theta House and opened the door;
she said "Thanks for the coke."
I says. "Oh, sure, I'll see you
sometime."
She says "Okay." I slam the
door, heave a big sigh and walk
with springy step to the Fraternity
house where I collapse like a wet
sock, and take stock.
Taking Stock.
I spent one hour and ten cents
to go through with a process that
has become a torn and bedraggled
custom on this camplis. Rain or
shine, war or peace, the cokes may
change but the custom doesn't.
Everybody does it. Professors,
alumni, soldiers, sailors, and Ky
Eisenhait. But at best this cus
torn will never become more than
a winter stop gap between picnic
seasons. Oh but it's nice even if
the aforementioned "limpid pools"
look more like two fried eggs.
Which brings us down to a
choice news item of today. John
J., of the double s Douglass' and
Kit Carson of the Double Theta s
make quite a twosome. They'll
be seen at the Prom and various
parties together which will eli
minate Kit as a full time room
mate of Pat Chamberlin.
Semester Ends, Students Leave.
Although the attendance at Li
brary hall has taken a terrific
drop since the final strain of Jan
exams, there were still plenty of
Vids there this week. Also, there
are those that aren't there. Like
Don Dobry, Palladian, who was off
to the army last week leaving
lonely but happy Ruth Duffield
alone with her books and time
to get used to the new diamond on
her third finger, left hand.
DeWayne Wolf reached into the
bevy of home town queens to find
his date for the Phi Cam party on
Friday.-
The Cornhusker will undoubted
ly be a busy place Saturday night
with everyone invited to the Tri
Delt dance. However Carmen Cot
rell and Dick Niles, Beta, Mary
Jo Kohes and Newman Buckley,
Phi Deit, Barbara True and Max
Mertz. Phi Gam, and Pat Hunting
and Bob Ferguson, (DU) would
have been f'e first ones there any
how.
Those who will be seen at the
Gamma Phi buffet supper and
theatre party Saturday night are
Joy Lsune and Bob Rogers, Sigma
Nu; Helen Kiesselback and John
Peters, Eeta; Janet Gibson and
Dick Buck, Beta.
Oh well, looking forward to two
excellent chances of using it, the
army and women, I go light heart
edly off to learn how to shoot the
automatic pistol.

A West Point in miniature, the

The student soldiers have liber
