It seems all the efforts of the society people were directed towards making last Saturday a day of social Importance In the University, and con sequently there has been "nothing do ing" since. It may be that people are Just beginning to realize that thlB is Lent, and are atoning for past delln- quencles in Its observance. Not quite three weeks remain until the Easter vacation, and several parties are sched uled to be given before that Bhort re cess. Tonight, the first of the Jmnd danceB will be given in the artnory. From present Indications thlB will be a success, in point of attendance at least. Wheuicr It Is the low price of admission or the desire to help along a good cause that is drawing the crowd it would be hard to say, but one of the two influences, perhaps both, will bring out a good crowd tonight. One fra ternity has gone so far as to lay a fine of fifty cents on overy member who does not attend. Upon the suc cess of the first dance depends the others, and the management has spared no pains to make this event a go. Mr. Howard Klrkpatrick, of the Bchool of music faculty, tons Initiated into Phi Gamma Delta Tuesday night. The usual feed followed the cere monies. ' The national convention of Delta Gamma will bo held at Madison, W1b., the first week in May. .bb Blanche Garten, an alumni member of Kappa chapter of this city, s grand president of the sorority, and will be accom panied on her trip by eight or nine members of the local chapter. The University club gave Its monthly dance at Fraternity hall last night. The University club Is composed of students who enjoy dancing and meet once a month for that purpose. The dances are managed uy a committee of two, appointed at tho beginning of the year, who have charge of the financial part of tl)e dances. Admission Is by In vitation and ticket. About thirty-five couples enjoyed the muBlc furnished last night by Quick's orchestra. Misses Mabel Stevens, Zoe Glldden, Mabel. Klmbali and Bertha bhldler, the house girls of Kappa Kappa Gamma, with Miss Abbott, their chaperon, left last evening for York, where they will bo entertained over Sunday by Miss Shidler. During their- absence the house will bo given over to the town girls, who entertained a few friends last evening. Thursday night tho first of a' series of little parties was given by tho house girls. Six mombexs of a neighboring fraternity wei'o enter tained. Next Monday night Phi Kappa Psl will givq its. annual banquet at the chapter house. On Tuesday, April 3, tho -senior class party will bo given in -the armory and on tho same night Delta Tau Delta will glvo a dancing party at Walsh hall. Sigma Alpha Epsilon will glvo a party of the same nature at the same hall on the 8th of April, and that will probably ho the last- of the social events beforo tho Easter vacation. Tho Friday after Easter tho annual senior prom will bo given at tho Lincoln hotel, followed by tho Delta lau Delta banquet on the 18th. Last Sunday the Journal printed tho following article about fraternity house parties: ' beginning results from tho ' necessity of getting out of tho armory by Sunday morning, and it is hoped all will con cede enough to tho requirements of the situation to bo promptly on hand at the appointed hour. After all the climax of frivolity has not yet been reported In tho fraternity clrcleB of this city. Llttlo house par tics at the various chapter houses for the members and a few friendB of the same sex have beon quito common, but the demoralizing combination described In the following from the Springfield Republican has not yet been tried: "The Greek letter fraternities in the freshwater colleges are more an more adopting the fashion of winter house parties, when their club" houses are turned over to their 'best girls,' duly chaperoned, and dancing and social frivolity prevail for a period. This Is all very pleasant, but wo can Imagine the faculties groaning over the Injec tion of such diverting matters, espe cially as the. men who most enjoy this Bort of thing are tho very ones wIiobo scholarship tenure Is moBt In doubt. It will not be strange If time reveals that this giddy departure must bo regu lated by the college authorities In the Interest of those objects which colleges wero created to serve." As the Journal remarks, "tho demor alizing combination" has not yet been tried In Lincoln. It has never been tried because It Is a custom that Nebraska students are slow In adopting, but It Is probable that It will be tried beforo long. If the fraternities keep up their progression. We beg to differ with the Springfield Republican in one or two matters. Perhaps the "scholarship tenure" of tho hosts Is often in doubt, but although that may be the case, the parties aro-as a rule given during a vacation period and at a time when llttlo studying Is done anyway. When such a party Is given during "working hours" It is of very short duration. Any effort on the part of college authorities to regulate this "giddy departure" would probably meet with little success and a great deal of opposition, Mr. C. M. Murdock, of Wymoro, has just loaned to tho state mus'oum a large mammoth's tooth, presented to his father forty years ago by tho Otoe Indians. Mr. Murdock's father was the first missionary Bent to this tribe in Nebraska. t California ! This evening the Palladlan and Union debating clubs will discuss the "cigar box" case.
