Activities Return
During Semester
Another semester is nearly gone
. . . all we've got to worry about
now is passing the finals, getting
everything packed, and finding a
way home . . . It's been a wonder
ful four and a half months, many
say we have had more activities
this semester than we have since
. v-
the war.

Duley Speaks
ThursdayNite
To Sigma Xi
Dr. F. L. Duley, professor of
agronomy, spoke on "Progresses
in Soil Science" at the Sigma Xi
initiation banquet held in the
Union Thursday night.
In reference to some of the farm
improvements, he stated that im
proved farm machinery with a
great increase in the use of me
chanienl power has taken the
farmer away from his two-horse
team and put him astride a 20
horrc tractor. The plant breeder
has given us hybrid corn which
has spread a 20 per cent increase
in production over most of the
corn producing areas of the coun
try; he has given us new varieties,
like Pawnee wheat, cedar oats,
Lincoln brome grass, and many
other especially adapted to local
conditions in every part of the
ctntry.
He explained that we in Ameri
ca have earned the reputation of
having wasted more soil fertility
in a short period of time than
any other people in the history
of the world, and that now we
are turning about face and with
new information are setting an
example in soil conservation for
nations of every continent on the
globe.

Will anyone ever forget the
Dandelion drive and how car
loads of dirty, blistered handed,
groups trudged up to the Union
to weigh in their hours ot work
Or will anyone who ever knew
about it forget how Sig Alph Ike
Stein was to be King of Dande
lions because his house picked
the most of the weed . . . Ike re
fused, the Sig Alphs hooked tied
him and insisted, but Ike escaped
just before the crowning . ,
Brother Jim Chatterton jumped
in to reign.
Inter-Fraternity Ball Returns,
This semester saw the return
of the Inter-Fraternity ball in the
coliseum . . . The beauty queens
were presented ... Pi Phi Jan
Swartzcr, Alpha Phi Babs Sten
tier. Alpha Chi Barb Emerson, Al
pha Chi Marge Dillman. Chi O
Hink Aascn, and AOPi Betty
Tobin.
R Street Fraternities got to
gether and gave their ball ... A
very exclusive affair with guest
list and all. Theta Helen Goodwin
was given the big honor of being
their choice as Sweetheart of the
Fraternities . . . Then there were
parties like the Beta Crud deal,
the Phi Sarong, and the very re
cent Sigma Chi party were Kappa
Joan Frankhouscr was chosen
"Sweetheart of Sigma Chi." Sor
orities, not to be out-done, were
responsible for many a night af
fair. There was the Theta Black
Kat Kaberet, the Alphi Chi Polka
Dot formal, and the formals given
by the Alpha Xi's and the Sigma
Kappas.
Spring and Picnics.
With the spring weather came
the picnics . . . Phi Psi Gulch was
always a popular place . . . Funny
doings when people venture out
to a supposedly secluded place to
find it already overrun with Betas
and their gals or Pi Phis and their
lieutenants.
Who ever says there is a man
shortage on the Nebraska campus
is crazy, it says here . . . Just
take a look at the gals with pins
or wings adorning their sweaters
. . . Besides the men on campus,
the Lincoln Air Base and the
AST's have kept many a heart a
'beating.
