BY WOLFGANG MONROE.
Stranger Things I
Have Never Seen.
Than the new combination of
Nata Porter and Preston Hays
Is there a Kappa he has not dated ?
Ia there a girl he hasn't dated?
Than the so called high school
girl Jim Nicola now squires about
Than Elmer Sprague.
Than Marj Jones staying true
to Tom Woods.
Than Howie Debus without
J. M. Smith.
Than the number of ensigns on
leave. Like Ensign Art Mason,
former Sig Chi escorting Polly
Ann Petty last weekend.
Than Tessie Reed being true to
Sergeant Ford in Africa by going
out with Buzz Diers.
Sounds That Signify:
The sound of jive from a juke
box . . . crashing glasses falling
to the floor ... the hiyas of
campus politicos . . . the ring of
the cash register for cokes and
Lucky's . . . Chatter of lovers coo
ing . . . the noise of the Taus when
they enter en masse . . . The siz
zle of cigaret butts dropped into
near empty glasses . . . the slap
of books on a leather covered
bench.
Sounds Overheard in the Dark:
"I'm so happy the seniors aren't
leaving. Who would we senior
girls date? Pat Herminghaus.
"What's so bad about the mea
sles? You can't go to school for
a week." Pat Catlin.
"What parties there'll be after
the 15th." Alan Jacobs.
"I can drink cokes in a blizzard
and enjoy it." Finley Howard.
"She needn't think I'll be wait
ing fr her when she finds her mis
take. A disappointed lover.
"Too bad Arnold doesn't have
a G. I. haircut." Anon.
"But the Mortar Boards are
above politics." A sophomore
girl.
Is It True?
That Martha Ann Bengtson Is
going to the WAVES?
That there are still 800 more
men on the campus than women?
So stop worrying Thetas.
That Annabel Shaum is teach
in judo for special students?
Lieutenant Adams, better get her
on your side.
That there is someone more sar
castic than Gerry Andcson?
doubt it.
That Norrie Anderson hasn't
hung his pin after all this time?
What patience.
That Dorothy Black is going
steady? And poor Munson was
going to ask as soon as he got
two dates in a row.
That there are four Black
Masques and one non-Masque run
ning for May Queen. Is that
quite cricket?
That Janet Westover and John
Slothower are catching each other
on the rebound? Two weekend
dates and coke dates every day
aet some of us to wondering.

But No One's Broken Up
mumps are pests m any language.
However, our Cornhusker lads and
lassies are not "broken up" or
even "out" over the situation and
are enjoying themselves, thank
you.
"McBee" and his little pal Mc
Carthy of the Beta house, besides
going stir crazy are enjoying
bouquet of "Four Roses" or a
reasonable facimile from "Bugs"
Jerner, Alpha Phi, and Dottie
Thiesen, Theta who seem to think
they are immune from those red
dots.
Kappa kids, Marilyn Edwards,
Mary Jean Fisher, and "Dortch"
Douglas roared up to Omaha in
hopes c making measles more
popular.
One of the proud "has beens" of
the disacse. was Fritz Albert, of
the Taus, who must have gotten
well sudden 'cause a telephone call
over that way revealed Fritz had
gone out for the afternoon.
Gamma Phi has had old home
week and everybody got ac
quainted with each other, and they
remained at home to all friends
who were able to get by the quar
antine sign.
So if you scratch of begin to
turn that sunburn color with
spots thrown in, law low; ; ;

America's 900,000 aviation workers
combine their skill and experience to satisfy today's

plane makers, ground crews and pilots like Capt.

Airways, needed supplies are flown to our fighting
men all over the world.
