Heat on the Admiral
In this writer's opinion, temperance leaders took
doubtful line of attack Monday when they directed fire
against retired Fleet Admiral William Halscy for statements
made on the subject of alcohol and its use in wartime.
Admiral Halsey, commander of Pacific naval forces
during many of the hottest engagements of the war, re
marked that he placed more faith in fighting men who used
tobacco and alcohol. Almost at once, certain vociferous dries
remarked that in their opinion, Admiral Halsey was wrong,
Now if the whole thing had ended there, this editona
might never have" been written. However, comments on the
Admiral s statement continued and some rather peculiar in
ferrences were made.
Flease do not misunderstand us. We feel that Halsey's
critics had just as much right to express an opinion on the
statement as the next man. We also feel that the Admiral
was within his Constitutional rights in voicing a preference
for a man who likes his schnapps when the going gets
rough. In other words, both parties in this altercation were
all right, remebnng that as yet the Admiral hasn t been
heard from, until the dries started treading on Halsey's war
record.
If we are not mistaken, heretofore the Admiral's ac
tions while he was in command of naval forces were favor
ably received. He had an off day in the Philippines and now
that off day has come under the close scrutiny of the dries
We quote, "For all we know, Admiral Halsey was drinking
coffee on the day of the engagement.
That's what the tempest is all about and perhaps our
comment isn t necessary but we feel that it is a mistake to
attack Halsey for a statement that is strictly a personal
opinion. In the past, this writer has often felt that there was
a ccrain tolerance lacking in the dry program that hamp
ered its operation. This diatribe did little to detract from
that sentiment.

More people made news over
the week-end so we are again in
print. Remember, the following
items are brought to you in the
strictest confidence.
In the fall a young man's fancy
turns to blind dates, and Chic
Lanfr, Kappa Sig, is completely
Fold on them. He met Kappa Lois
riiillips in this manner Friday
night, and the following Sunday
his pin changed hands. And they
rushed into it with their eyes open.
Winnings!- Pinnings! Yes, we re
seeing double. The Farm House
Love Hall hour dance was the oc
casion for a twin candy passing
with Gale and Dale Erlewine fur
nishing the cigars and Lucy Man
ning; and Tat Crownover passing
the candy. The affair left every
one feeling festive and the hour
dance was transformed into a
party.
Many of the Pi Beta Phi girls
pre on the loose again and seem
pretty happy over the whole situa
tion. Annie Whitham divides her
Friday and Saturday nights be
tween a Sigma Nu and an S.A.E.,
but Jeanne Sampson concentrates
on the S.A.E.'s alone.
Gamma Fhi's own Tootsie
Cainpen returned from a week
end jaunt to Ames sporting a shiny
new D.U. pin. Lloyd Mahcn was
the former owner, and for the in
formation of certain U. N. stu
dents, he plans on spending many
week-ends in Lincoln this season.
Brothers Differ
Dougie Doyle must have serious
intentions. He introduced Pi Phi
pledge Janet Graves to his parents
before even going out with her.
Brother Dave, Phi Delt, on the
other hand, likes crowds as he
demonstrated when he asked Jack
Clow, Sigma Nu pledge to join
him and date, AOPi Bev Haarman,
Friday night.
S.D.T. alum Betty Cucklin re
turned Friday just long enough to
It Says Here
anounce her engagement. A novel
candy passing took place to which
the girls and their dates were in
vited, and in the confusion every
one missed "Freddy's" last name.
The fact that Kappa Mary Jean
Radamaker is no longer pinned to
Tau Bud Buckley is no scoop.
However, Rog- Stewart of the Beta
house found out first and has been
monopolizing most of her spare
moments.
The Chi Omegas followed up a
week-end of open houses and hour
dances with a tea in honor of their
new house mother, Mrs. Ruth
Davison. House mothers and presi
dents of all organized houses
joined in the welcoming festifities
Kappa pledge Pris Knudsen has
been steadily dating ATO Dick
Beattie for some time now. Sister
Joan Titus appears to be under
similar circumstances with Don
McKay, Phi Delt.

New Theatrical
Concert Group
Now Organized
Philip J. Mullin, former stu
dent, has announced the form
ing of a new concert and the
atrical management company for
the Lincoln area. The first pre
sentation of the new company,
the Lincoln Fine Arts series,
opens with the Don Cossack
chorus and dancers in Lincoln
high school auditorium on Oct.
23.
Mullin has been active in the
alumnae organization in the Colo
rado area, having attended the
national convention in Chicago
in 1946. He finished his studies
at Regis college, Denver, and was
admitted to the law college of
Georgetown university in Wash
ington, D. C. in 1942, but was
called to active duty with the
army air force before he could
resume his studies.
Mullin, who holds a captain's
commission in the air force re
serve, received training in this
country and later was sent to
Oxford, England. He returned
to this country in December,
1945, and upon release from ac
tive duty re-entered the concert
and theatrical management firm
of Arthur M. Oberfelder in Denver.
Mullin is planning to bring le
gitimate road companies back
into Lincoln as soon as satisfac
tory theater arrangements can be
made. In addition to Lincoln,
the new company will serve Ne
braska's principal cities.
