FAT TOOF
and
GRACIE SMITH.
After reading the masculine
veiwpoints of the local social scum
for the past week, the "burro"
and friend take over . . . born in
a barn, Jerry?
The Frenchy Tau party of last
Saturday night is still causing
memorable comment. Understand
Ellie Lykke received a welcome
of undue warmth when she ar
rived with prexy Mark Har
greaves her latest attraction.
Garters of all laces and colors
prevailed as pass words for the
eve, but Fatti Holmes got by on
the conventional one. Gene Wie
ler appeared with "The Strange
Woman," but bowed out before
the close of the evening while
Chich Mohrman lent a helping
hand. "Bill Munson made en
trance with something new and
different in the form of Amy Jo
Bergh.
Dual Role.
Playing a new role, Dube Freed
was mistaken for a seeing eye dog
Friday night after date, B. J.
Steele removed her glasses. Still
can't understand where Lee
Baughn got all the "fur" to catch
the popcorn thrown at him at
King's Friday night. They say
Kreml does it.
Decisions are flying Ginny
Pester had her last date out Sun
day night before settling down to
Hank Heidtbrink, an admirer of
long standing. Bobbie Rowland is
confronted with same debate con
cerning said Houtz "Zoo" Stein
burg. Lee Leuers seems to be appre
ciative of Ann Lomax in evening
dress as of yet, their dates have
consisted of nothing by various
formals about campus. She really
isn't bow-legged, Lew.
Together Again.
Nadine Anderson and Jerry
Hanson have decided their old
troubles to be trivial and are now
back on the ever-changing steady
list. Yvonne DeTeau is reviving
the past and again fanning the old
flame with Bill Moorhouse.
Men about campus will be hap
py to know that the steady dat
ing of Bill Moomey and Shirley
Eskilsen is a thing of the past . . .
a romance that shattered quickly.
Faithful churchgoers witnessed
the presence of Don Chapin and
June Korb among the congrega
tion, Sunday morning.
Understand the Sig Eps had a
party last Saturday night, too, but
don't wish to be bothered with
cheap publicity . . . Quote Dean
Skokan.

Youth Hostels . .
Continued from Page 1
some of which caan be purchased
at National Headquarters or at
local office. With war-time re
strictions lifted A. Y. H. equipment
is being increased and improved
to meet the needs of hostelers.
It is not essential to have hostel-
ing experience for participation in
most of the sponsored trips. Cycl
ing proficiency is usually neces
sary. In regard to this the Bul
letin suggests, "The Montreal
Quebec trip is suggested for be
ginners. In contrast, the Central
America Pioneer trip is undoubt
edly difficult and requires previ
ous hosteling experience." Man
ual dexterity and an understand
ing of post war problems take
precedence over hosteling experi
ence on the Europe work proj
ects. Hostels Are Important
The hostel building is an in
tegral part of the general hostel
set up. Youth Hostels are over
night accommodations for those
who travel by hiking, biking, ski
ing, canoeing, or eveen horse back
riding. The charge is 25c plus a
fuel charge. There are separate
bunkrooms for the fellows and
girls, a common kitchen where
hostelers cook their own food, and
usually a recreation room for spe
cial group activities Blankets and
cooking utensils are provided by
the "houseparents," who donate
their homes for such use. -
Descriptions of various trios will
appear in following articles.
Further information concerning
any phase of the program can be

CHhisdsL, (Rsiiatu . SisipA io Jcwul
BY DICK TOOF.
As roving reporter for the Rag,
I've met some pretty interesting
people, most of them students
here on the campus. One of the
most interesting students I've in
terviewed is Borden S. Homo,
who some of you may know as
the tennis champion and star rep
resentative of the university ath
letic association. Borden told me
the following story.
"I first became interested in
athletics shortly after the start of
the football season. I noticed how
easily football stars could get
dates, so I said to myself, 'That's
for me.' I went down to the
stadium one afternoon to suit up,
but they couldn't find a suit small
enough for me. My jersey football
sweater 'and football pants looked
like a sloppy joe and plus fours
on me.
"Can't Use You"
"The coach came over to me
slowly shaking his head. "I'm
afraid that we can't use you now,
Borden," he said. "But keep in
touch with us. We may be able to
use you if this shortage of foot
balls keeps up."
"But isn t there some activity
I can take part in?" I asked,
thinking desparately how dif
ficult it would be to pick up a
date with no assets but a Cush
man scooter.
"Well, let me see. Basketball?
No, you're too short. Have you
ever done any boxing?"
Activities
I had done a lot of boxing out
in Southern California with the
Sunkist orange company, but I
did'nt think I should mention it,
so I said no. I also had to admit
to him that I had never done any
long distance running, that I could
not swim, and that I didn't know
how to play volley ball.
"The ping pong coach was over
joyed. Here was a chance to get
Nebraska out of the cellar of the
ping pong league where it had
been for the last 33 years. Things
began to come easy for me now.
First the coach changed my
schedule from 17 hours pre-law
to 12 hours in Applied Procrasti
nation. I ate at a special table
in the Union with the football
players.
Publicity.
"The coach released some pub
licity about me to the papers, and
from then on it was the easy road.
received bids from six social
fraternities, eleven sororities, and
eight professional and honorary
societies. Everywhere I went peo
ple pointed me out as the "White
Hone" of the Nebraska team. I
quit going to my zoology class
but the professor, a tennis fan,
kept raising my grades instead of
flunking me. I posed for a Lord
Calvert advertisement, entitled
"Men of Intellectual Foresight."
Each night at 9:30 the coach and
the chancellor would come and
tuck me in bed.
I was doing wonders in the
team. We met and defeated Notre
Dame, the Kansas Hawks, the Al
catraz Angels. The day we played
Bryn Mawr lor national cnam
pionship, the university dismissed
classes so students could listen
over the radio. Not only did
KFAB, WOW, and KFOR send
newscasters to cover the tourna
ment but it was the first televi
sion broadcast beamed into Lin
coln. Reputation.
"We won that game and the na
tional championship easily. I
guess my reputation had preceded
me the Bryn Mawr team seemed
awed when I entered. Besides,
those girls kept smiling into the
television screen after each good
serve and they were suckers for a
fast return.
"And when the team returned
to Lincoln what a celebration!
The university presented me with
a platinum tennis paddle, with a
diamond inlaid handle. The The
tas presented fne with one of their
number who had been chosen as
an offering to me I could sacri
fice her on an altar if I wanted.
That's what I like a useful gift."
Dream Realized.
"Wonderful," concluded Bor
den. "All my fondest dreams
everyone of them realized. It's
talent and ability that does it."
"Gee," I said, awed. "You're
quite a hero all right, Mr. Homo.
What's your secret of success?"
"Good, clean living," Mr. Toof.
Clean living and remembering to
be thankful for the goodness and
mercy that has been shown to me.
And frankly, I've always got a
lot of good out of these Carter's
liver pills. Well, sorry, but I've
got to go to a city council meeting
member, you know. Goodbye,
Mr. Toof."
And getting into his Cadillac, he
drove away.

JOKE OF THE WEEK: Jokes come and
blow... some are acceptable only in closed
door affairs. . .some bring flustered and
blushing glances from the fairer sex... the
joke that takes the blue ribbon for this week
is one told by Corn Cribber Duane Mattson:
The wee small boy was standing on the street cor
ner. A big burly truant officer stalked up to him
and asked him, "Son, why aren't you in school?"
The little boy gazed seriously up into his eyes and
replied, "Hell, man, I'm only three years old."
