Once upon a Monday weary, while I stumbled, week-end weary
On the steps of my sorority, en route to the second floor
as t ctrnircripri noarlv falling suddenlv there came a calline
As of someone' auite appalling:, stalling" someone wanting more.
'Tis some Junior," I stuttered, "with her clever wiles and gore
'Only this and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember; it was in the bright September;
When last year's pinnings wrought their ghosts upon the floor.
Wen? What are they? They are lost and gone forever
On this bare Nebraska campus, void of Joe, we all adore.
That rare and dashing fellow, whom the jokers call Joe College
Nameless here for evermore..
Deep into that phone booth peering,
rearing
Who this maiden had attracted as so many men before.
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Nor
Only this and nothing more.
So into my chamber turning, all my soul within me burning
Sophomore Slump? I would be learning
What it meant and what it felt like
With no Jim, or Don or just Mike
Thus I wondered. Only this and nothing more.
Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed by my roommate's
tenser
Eottle of ' Follow Me."
With its odor came a brain storm. 'Twas not about the girls' dorm
Twas the sudden realization of the cadets and the dentists
Of the men the army sent us
So upon my bed sinking. I betook myself to thinking
As to how myself to linking with some male in iniform.
Only this and nothing more.
But my stupid brain is empty as to how to be that tempty
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if within the distant Aidenn
I shall be a sought for maden ,
Quoth the experts, "Nevermore."

Best Students
Complete Tests
First or Last
The best college students finish
their examinations either first or
last, says Donald M. Johnson of
the Fort Hays, Kas., State college
psychology department. Mediocre
students, he says, usually complete
their papers in the middle third of
the period.
It's Dr. Johnson's theory that
the first third of the students are

'Ml
long I stood there wondering,
speedy because of superior intelli
gence; the last third are the plod
ders who get good grades by pains
and persistence; the middle third
are the students who aren't very
much interested in the subject.

Nebraska Girls Look Tasty
In Their
I Society...!
Hanging my left ear over a grill
booth yesterday, I heard Marj
Holmes, Palladian, say rather resi-
tantly, "You know, I think Hank
Marvin is sort of nice." Hanging
my right ear over another booth,
I heard some fellow say, "See that
girl over there in the long dark
hair? That's Marj Holmes. One
of the guys I know at Camp Rob
erts. wrote me that a friend of
his had told him that Hank Marvin
and she are engaged. I'm not sup
posed to tell anybody but I'm just
telling you 'cause I know you
won't tell."
Here's a little gossip gleaned
from the week end. Pat Williams,
DG, met a fellow in the STAR unit
this summer, and they decided that
this was rather a nice old world
to be together in. So this is an
other one of those long distance
engagements while Pat goes to
school here, and Ralph (I didn't
catch the last name) is spending
his time going to school in the
east with the ASTP. Ralph's home
is in Boston, Mass. Are all these
facts straight, you people who are
in on the know?
Long distance calls came Sigma
Kappa way lately when Gwen
Kelly and Betty Parker hung on
the every word from Memphis
Tenn., and Ft. Riley, respectively
Then there is Lucy McLafferty
AOPi, who got that call from Fort
Sill. Okla. Don Brown, AGR, is
the man.
'Twas rather nice of the army
to send Jack Peck back to Ne
braska to school, to the library
and to week end dates with Ruth
Sherburn, Towne Club. Candy
passing in the offing?
Query of the week: What junior
woman casting her eyes upon the
black mask and robe is courting
the favor of what "mightiest of
the mighty?" Does the YW office
and a pair of thin lips give yoi
the answer?
AOPi pledge Betty Jo Packard
is wearing the Palladian pin of
Glenn Johnston, now in Camp Rob
erts, Calif.
There's a blonde Kappa "mighty'
who can count the days on her
"mighty" gets back to the campus
And over at the Pi Phi house
there used to be a girl by the name
of Joan Beckwith. Well, here's the
tale kiddies. This summer she
met a paratrooper at Alliance
Now it's Mr. and Mrs. Paratrooper
The twinkling of the stars in a
clear October night is nothing to
the brilliance of the light that
shines in the eyes of Mary Kay
Elce, Towne Club, whenever De
cember is mentioned, for December
19 is the date she and Trueman
Streeter of Omaha med school are
trodding the aisle.
Is there a romance blossoming
between Michael and the "only
woman in the school who knows
how to run the student council
All these tete-a-tetes make this
lowly one knit his brows more
strongly.
I was looking through my files
today. Incident to leport. The

Clothes,

Dates do not erow' on trees.
Some women can pick them, tho,
as has been noticed in the vicinity
lately. Peculiar to these few and
all others of the same sex is me
desire to look slinky and tasty in
the clothes they wear.

good-bye between Harriet Hayes

Ah Men
a gray flannel dress with touches
of demure white ilet here and
there. The time last Saturday; the
place: The Turnpike; the man:
Bill Gist At the same place and
at the same time, but with a dif
ferent man was Kappa. Ruth Korb,
contrasting fringed black crepe
with her blonde hair. Van Norman,
Delt, was aware of the whole ef
fect Head-Bending.
Another picture was Suzanne
Pope with a soldier. They were
headbent over a table writing let
ters while Joe Venuti played the
strains of Hit Parading melodies,
which no one could understand
because, Suzanne should have been
dancing in that smart black benga
line and velvet flress. Maybe they
were soothing some savage beast
with the charms of the music.
The Rally dance Friday night
intrigued Barbie Johnson, Theta
pledge, while she, in turn, in
trigued the men in her shell-pink
sweater and skirt ensemble. There,
too, wearing the DG ribbons was
Sal Emerson in a suit featuring a
wlid plaid skirt with green jacket
trimmed in the same stripes and
checks. Lois Christie's Alpha Phi
feet wore brown sandals and fter,
well, she had on an unusual white
corduroy BUit.
Sequin Bow.
At the massacre Saturday aft
ernoon Nancy Beaton, Theta, wore
a lettuce green skirt with sweater
to match. Around dinner time Jim
Bell, Beta, took Betty Krause of
the Pi Phi house out in a really
striking balck crepe. She put se
quin bows of black in her haid.
Almost forgot to mention Janet
Krause, DG, in her champagne
frock at the Pike. Escorting her
was Nat Kline, SAE and Phi Rho,
who was private in his attire. Gee,
I wish more men could have his
appeal.
"Cooking" still has its heyday.
In there pitching last week was
Pat King in one of those new
jumpers. The gentleman with her
was cute, too. Jean Larson, Al
pha Chj, was the evy of every fe
male in the Crib the other day,
for she was in her slate-blue Rein
deer sweeter. Speaking of the
Union, Roberta Burgess (Gamma
Phi) was all in blue Sunday night
while she chatted with one of the
interesting French ' air cadets.
Completing her outfit was a hand
book of his language.
Gone but not forgotten are nylon
stockings. Sooooo, for.the surprise
ending, the only thing fitting,
seems to be the mention that Si
Bernstein, SDT, owi.s eight of the
precious things!!!
C'est la guerre, but Nebraska
coeds will always look their best
