GIRLS EATJERY LITTLE
MANGAER ORR OF CAFETERIA
SAYS CO-EDS WASTE TOO
FOOD.
Manager Orr of the University cafe
teria doosn't like tho way tho co-edB
eat
Not that tho glrla use tholr knlveB
as Implements to eat with, or that
they Bcrub up their gravy with broad:
their manners aro all that could be
dt'Blred.
The manager, however, thinks that
the girls buy too much and eat too
little.
"Why don't tho girls eat more?" he
asked ono coed. "I think it Is really
criminal to leave half of one's food
upon one's plato when there are so
many hungry pooplo In tho world.
Isn't tho food good?"
"Tho real reason Ib, I think," an
swered tho co-ed, "bocaiiBO the help
ings aro planned for men A dish of
meat that Is Just enough for a man
Is throe times too much for one of us.
In order to got a variety a girl muBt
buy a lot, all of which Bho can't oat."
NEBRASKA GAME IS UNLIKELY.
Michigan's Open Date Set for Missouri-Nebraska
Contest.
Judging from advIceB received from
the University of Nebraska, Michigan
will not hook up In a contort with
tho Cornhuskors this coming fall. No
vember 2 Is tho date that has boon
talked of as bolng tho possible dato
for tho contest, and It is practically
tho only dato on which tho game
could bo played. But now it appears
that Nebraska has a game with Mis
souri on that dato. So it 1b evident
that there will bo no Michigan game
for them, and tho question now arises
as to whom will be Michigan's oppo
nents on that date. Michigan pally.

TRAGEDIES OF THE FORMAL.
Both Men and Maids Say Others Are
Playing Policy Game.
Tho height of the fraternity and
sorority formal season Is now on.
Many aro tho attempts made by
the wily oneB to secure tho coveted
"bid."
For the two or throe weeks before
tho sorority invitations come out tho
house Is bosleged by numerous call
ers Tho girls are taken to tho Lin
coln hotel, to shows and to dances.
Frequent assertions of "what a fine
bunch you girls have. I Buro am
strong for you," aro heard.
But tho day tho Invitations come
out what a difference thoro is! Tho
men who failed to "got in" pass up
their co-ed friends with a curt nod.
Thoao who were invited aro distantly
cordial, but havo already turned their
attention towards some other sorority.
The fraternities, too, havo their
grievances. . "Yes, these glrlB are cer
tainly policy workers," said ono dis
gusted youth. "Tho years we don't
"Have our formal hardly any of our
follows are asked. But the years we
do! Why, the girls fall all over them
selves to be nice. It certainly Is a
skin game."
Darkness Prevents Fraternity Man
Recognizing Assailant and No
Cluo la Found.
While roturnlng homo at about 11
o'clock Monday night, c. M. Sherwood
was attacked by a highwayman and
robbed of Ills pockotbook containing
about 15 in cash.
Mr. Sherwood, who is a member of
tho Kappa Sigma fraternity, was walk
ing along Slxtoenth Btroot botwoon P
and Q when a man stepped up in tho
dark from behind a treo and struck
tho student a blow bohlnd tho oar.
Tho assault so stunnod and surprised
Sherwood that ho was unablo to do
fond himself. Before ho had recov
ered tho assailant had searched him
and made oft with his pockotbook.
Is Reported to Police.
Tho matter was reported to tho
police However, tho darkness pre
vented any Identification of tho man
by Sherwood and no clue has boon
found.
Taking Into consideration tho fact
that It was on tho same night that
tho robbory occurred at tho Alpha
Tau Omega houeo, It appears olthor
that the local footpads consider tho
fraternity people easy pickings or they
were taking ample advantago of tho
prlvllogo of April fool's day.
