Attempting to create something unusual at their traditional dance Feb. 24, the members of Mor tar Board are contemplating a program dance. While no definite plans hive been made, many members of the society feel that it will he .iccepl able to the student body. Program dances at Nebraska have never been given serious con sideration by the students, al though the faculty has advocated such a plan for some time. Mis Amanda Heppner, Dean of Women, believes that this custom would add much to campus social functions. Miss Heppner says that the purpose of a social affair is to make friends, as well as its being a law of courtesy to exchange dances, a thing which is not en tirely fulfilled at the present tim.'. The custom of not having ex change dances seems to be merely a Nebraska custom, according to Margaret Upson and Jane Axtell, who attended the Mortar Board and A. W. S. conventions respec tively last summer. They report that nearly all schools have the tradition of exchange dances, rain- er than the straight program. Both are anxious to see such a sys tem adopted by the Nebraska stu dents. SWAP SHOP WILL CLOSE Students Are Asked to Call For Unsold Books This Coming1 Week. Students who turned in books at the Y. W.
