DAILY NEBRASKAN
Two days ago I had a scare.
Like Bob Hope, I loft the door
open and the draft practically
blew me away.
But today I am back with a few
assinine cracks about as whoops
a few people I know or have
heard tell of about the campus.
Today we have that tasty dish
(this had to cook for a couple of
days while I made sure my iden
tity was well concealed from the
ghost of the campus political boss
which must still be wandering
about the campus even though the
army has him down in Fort Ben
ning, Ga.) of one Virginia McCul
la and John J. Douglass. As the
boya have told me, Ginny was G.
Willie's girl last year. Even went
steady for a day. And then G.
Willie left and John Jay, with true
brotherly solicitude, stepped in to
keep ATO paramount in the mind
of Alpha Phi. Anyway to make a
long story short, Ginny is wear
ing John Jay s diamond now, and
G. Willie? G. Willie. Let us heave
a sigh for G. Willie and the sand
which bloweth and the sun which
beateth down in Camp Roberts,
Calif.
Welll Tried.
Not just because of G. Willie,
but for a host of other fellows
who wore the ROTC pinks and
greens last year, Camp Roberts.
Calif., figures quite largely in the
minds of the feminine populace
about Nebraska. I put on my red
corduroy hat the other day to at
tract some attention, but the only
emotion I succeeded in arousing
in the hair ribbon across my ad
viser's table at registration day
was one of, "I wonder how that
freshman got over in the upper
class section." If that statement
could be regarded as an indica
tion of emotion.
But back to Camp Roberts. I
used to have a friend named Fox.
Guess I still do have but "Out of
sight, out of mind," you know so
far as I am concerned. Used to
be a good man. But the infantry
Is hard on feet, I am told. I hope
I never know. Fox's wife, blonde
Barbara Rehberg Fox, breezed
back onto the campus a couple of
days ago. Nice to see her even
if she is married. Their wedding
was one of the late spring affairs,
a quickie just before the boys
traded their ODs for khaki down
at Fort Leavenworth.
But Do We Love Itl
In my mail today. Thank the
powers that be for mail. I wonder
what a society editor would do
without mail. I wonder at me for
being one. I learned that Pat
Curry, Alpha Xi Delta, is now
wearing the wings of Cadet Bob
Skelton and that Tuesday night
she shared her candy passing with
rushees at the house. Maybe I m
Just an old man with a fondness
for digging up memories but
seems I saw her around a lot last
year with one George Lobdell. But
George is gone now and "Out of
sight, out of mind," the same with
women as with me, I guess.
Two pins that have found new
torsos upon which to rest are
those of Karl Loerch, Phi Gam,
and Ed Heffernan, Sig Nu. The
respective wearers are Perry
Cameran, Chi O, and Estellc Lon-
nemann. Chi O. I ain't got no girl

Charlotte Staid Is Engaged
To Wed Pvt. John Dixon
but. then I ain't got no pin either
except the one I won for going to
Sunday school three weeks run
ning.
I see two of the Fi Phis have
dates for Saturday night. Gosh
Jean Harvey, pledge, and Jean
Mayer are dating B. G. Fullerton,
Sig Chi and Claude Wilson, Ai'U
B. G. and Harvev: Claude and
Mayer. Two gals with the same
name. Can't even be familiar and
call them by their first names
even in my own column.
A little hometown romance that
has the campus tongues wagging
is that of Louise Mars, Chi O, and
Bob Forrester, Sig Ep. I wonder
if they live next door from one
another. One of the greatest plots
for novels revolves about the two
kids that grow up together eat
ing each other's mud pies; then
both take to eating her biscuits.
Home and the kitchen seems to
have its hold on the library fel
lows. Anyway the kitchen and din
ing rooms of the Union seem to
be favorite places for them. They
even gave the place a new name
GI name Miss White's Date
Home.
Maria Montez is the recipient
of a rare tribute, extended by

The la3t was in his role of sea cap
tain in RKO radio's thriller, "The

Both were slambang fights. But
there was a difference. In this
fight, for the first time in 23 years
of screen contests, Dix gets killed.

Iowa Coeds
Occupy Frats
For Duration
Plans for housing Iowa State
eoeds in former fraternity houses
have been completed, Mrs. Madge
I. McGlade, director of residence
at the college, has announced. The
shift to the fraternity houses was
necessitated by the housing of
large numbers of army and navy
trainees in dormitories formerly
occupied by college women.
Twenty-one fraternity house
and ten large homes have been
taken over for use by women, who
will begin arriving Sept. 24, when
freshman days begin at Iowa
State.
Groups Remain Same.
Former dormitory groups will
be quartered in adjacent fraternity
houses, and will maintain their
former identities as dormitory
groups. A mature residence hu
pervisor or house mother will be
provided for each house.
"Hours and housing rules will
be the same as before," Mrs. Mc
Glade said. "The only real change
is in the location of the houses. '
Short Hike.
The houses all are within easy
walking distance from the cam
pus, and some actually are closer
to classrooms than were the wom
en's dormitories, she added.
Fraternity men will be able to
find rooms in private rooming
houses while their residences are
occupied by coeds.
Hollywood celebrities are the
greatest fans of the great. Diana
Barrymore, June Vincent, Janet
Gaynor, Joan Fontaine and Brian
Aherne all turned out eagerly to
meet Alice Roosevelt Longworth
at Lady Mendl's dinner. . . . The
glamor girls and boys gave whole
hearted support to the Mocambo
benefit for Ann Lehr's Hollywood
guild. Among those holding the
spotlight were Lana Turner and
husband, Steve Crane, at a table
ith Judy Garland and Van Johnson.
