WEDNESDAY. MARCH 20. lm.
FOUR
nioers, rash and foolish, braved the elements and started, but
the snow proved discouraging, and there was a general rush
for home and mother. All in all, the season's first nttempts at
that great American institution, the picnic, were a little ill
omened, and exceedingly ill-timed.
SELECTED to head Palladian I
Literary society for the third term
are Lewis Bottorff, president; I
Margaret Rufnagle, vice presi-1
dent: Evelyn Osborn, recording!
secretary; Aletha Farrell, corres
ponding secretary; Altheda Swift,
historian; and Charles Nielsen,
program secretary.
THE GAMMA PHI'S had candy
and the Acacia's cigars, Monday
night, when Evelyn Perry of Lin
coln and Duane Kenneth Peterson
of Wausa informally announced
their engagement. This, it might
be well to add, is the third candy
passing for the Gamma Phi's in
three days, and almost a record.
AND WE heard about a pin
hanging last Sunday night that
sounded a bit funny ... to say
the least. Dick Fischer, who
wears brother Jack's pin most of
the time, hung said article on The
odora Nye, Alpha Chi pledge, and
then waited for congratulations
from the brethern. He got them,
and more, too, for the Pi K. A.'s
were having a buffet supper for
the active chapter and their dates.
Miss Nye, flustered and not a lit
tle apprehensive, was paved by
Jack's entrance, and a demand for
the pin. We're still trying to fig
ure out just which one of Mrs.
Fischer's little boys hung the
jewel, and which one took it back.
ANNOUNCED Tuesday was the
marriage of Fern Carlson of Su
perior and W. E. Kauffman of
Nelson, which took place March
11. Mr. Kauffman, a graduate of
the class of '29. and a member of
Alpha Chi Sigma and Sigma
Gamma Epsilon, is employed as
supervisor of the western district
of the Natural Gas Distributing

CHANTS
BY CHANCE.
W. C. Fields, noted stage and
screen comedian, once said. "I have
spent years working out gags to
make people laugh. With the pa
tience of an old mariner making a
ship in a bottle, I have been able
to build situations which have
turned out to be funny. But, to
show you what a crazy way this is
to make a living, the biggest laugh
on the stage I ever got was an al
most exact reproduction of an oc
currence one evening when I was
visiting a friend, and it took no
thinking-up whatever. At my
friend's bouse it didn't even get a
snicker, but in the theater it cused
the audience to yell for a full min
ute. On the stage I was a pompous
nobody. The telephone rang. I
told my wife I would answer it, In
a manner that showed that I
doubted she was capable of han
dling an affair of such Importance.
I said, 'Hello, Elmer . . . Yes, El
mer ... Is that so, Elmer? . . .
Of course, Elmer . . . Goodby, El
mer" I hung up the receiver and
said to my wife, as though I were
disclosing a state secret, 'That was
Elmer.' It was a roar. It took ten
or twelve performances to find out
that 'Elmer' Is the funniest name
for a man."
Quietly climbing on a fishing
barge off the cost of San Diego,
California, Max Miller, author of
"I Cover The Waterfront," grafted
his brain and eyes to those of the
barge's master, on "John," a wan
derer now anchored temporarily,
and as quietly .went .away .for
awhile. When Max Miller returned,
there was a book waiting for him,
which he has dedicated to Harry
Carr, columnist of the Los An
geles Times. "John" wrote the
book, "The Man On the Barge,"
with a vision and memories sharp
ened and flavored by Msx'a brain,
colored by the lens of his eye. Ex
cept for his helper "Walt." "John"

is alone on the barge, until the
fishers come and disturb the air
with talk, shatter even a quiet sea
with their casts and the flounder
ings of victims. Even then, he is
alone, as man is alone inside the
shell of himself; or as he thinks he
is. "John" sheds their conversa
tions as a sea lion sheds water; he
remains unjostled by their physical
bumptings; or he thinks he does.
But he has heard and felt, and
these people have become a part of
him. He is many men and many
women, too. He is a world, all in
himself; a world inhabited by rag
tag thoughts and bits of beauty
and pathos and tragedy. A world
articulate through "John," who is
really Max Miller. Quietly articu
late, he seems to be going nowhere
at all with his stories, to be drift
ing with his thoughts, to be lazily
paddling a canoe full of words that
hang over the gunwales and drag
their feet happily in the water, not
caring where they go. Sometimes
these words laugh at what the sea
presents to their amused eyes;
sometimes they are faintly angry;
often the words withdraw their
feet from the sea in alarm of the
creatures that throng it. These
creatures have two legs and two
arms, if they are fortunate; and
they do strange things, thoughtless
things, even cruel things, unlike
the natural inhabitants or the
ocean.
But the words of Max Miller,
lazy and indifferent as they seem,
are not content with outside ver
sions of the events and people that
disturb them into activity. The
words want to know more, and the
words find out, for they are crafty
as you would never think they are.
Behind the masks people wear, or
happen to be born with, and behind
the barrages of talk they lay down
in front of themselves as defenses
or unthinking attacks, there is
something else. The words get at
that, even when they are trailing
their feet, even when they seem
to be looking a little the other way.
Tongues in cheek, they see out of
the corners of their eyes. And the
people never know, nd they go on
playing their gams
unconscious
of an audience,
laugh quietly.

REV. HUNT TALKS ON
PRAYER AT VESPERS
Pastor Gives Second Speech
In Series of Lenten
Services.
With the warning that "prayer
isn't a sort of spare tire to use
in an emergency," Rev. Ray Hunt,
pastor of the First Christian
church, addressed members of the
Y. W. C. A. at the vesper service
Tuesday at 5 o'clock in Ellen
Smith hall. Rev. Hunt's speech on
"The Value of Prayer" was the
second in a scries of.Lenten serv
ices. Rev. Hunt discussed the signifi
cance, the use, and the meaning of
prayer, describing it as "the pro
cess by which man draws near to
the Power of the Universe for ad
ditional strength. He upheld the
theory that prayer is not an audi
ble utterance or a series of re
quests, but rather "fellowship"
with God.
Phyllis Jean Humphrey led the
devotionals which preceded the
speech, Meditation music was
played by Violet Vaughn, pianist,
at the beginning of the meeting,
and the vesper choir sang the
processional.

cials, and the final reckonings will

night. The ceremony will take

Qmjer Experiences
Reported as Result
Week's Dust Storm
Last week end's dust storm
should form an excellent basis for
a new deal in "fish" stories. Pro
fessor Walton of the psychology
department, was caught in western
Nebraska last Friday and reports
that half way between Grand Is
land and Ravenna, he ran into a
storm of dust so terrific as to re
mind him of the reports of the
early Nebrska Prairies of the set
tlers. He could scareecly see and
had to judge his way by occa
sional fence posts. "I had to
creep along ar 1 of all the things
that passed ' ic animals swept
along the sidv ,f the road, Russian
thistles beat against the side of
the car, and the dust was finally
so thick within the closed car, that
I had difficulty in refraining from
choking,
He found tbe farmers
their
that
storm cellars the wind
section traveling around B0-G0
miles an hour. Many of them con
sidered it tho wotst dust storm
they had ever experienced.
The next morning Dr. Walton
reports that the dust was swept in
unbelievable quantities from the
houses, and shoveled from the
porches like so much snow.
"Then came tho snow. The dust
appeared to be hanging in the at
mosphere and It dropped on the
snowdrifts, creating some very
weird effects. Many of the drifts
appeared to be coal black, the soil
of a dark type such as is found in
South Dakota."
In the
Legislature
By Lorainc Campbell.
Those students who occasionally
venture further south than the
campus, may be interested In not
ing that our state capitol is the
center of a scries of lively debates
over questions which indirectly af
fect the student body. Those who
are able should attend, to study the
people who are interested in the
progression of our statutes, if for
no other reason. People are found
reading copies of Ogden Nash In
the senate balconies, and women
frequently bring their embroider
ing or knitting to the halls of the
house. It reminds one of the
staunch wives of the first con
gresses, who listened eagerly to
the heads of their houses, clamor
ing for recognition in another one.
Those who attended the Tuesday
forenoon session noted with inter
est the points which Governor
Cochran stressed in his message to
the house, in response to a call for
more specific information on liquor
legislation. These were namely:
The sales of liquor by package
legalized immediately upon the
taking effect of the act in munici
palities which voted for repeal, fol
lowing the Ohio plan. Suggestion
that authority may be given mu
nicipalities to legalize sale by pack
age on petition of 51 percent of
the vote for governor at the last
election. Sales by the glass should
be legalized in Omaha. State
owned and operated stores have
proved unsatisfactory. Tax should
be kept at low figure in order to
hold the price down. To combat
the bootlegger, his service and his
price must be met. Any legisla
tion enacted should provide for lo
cal option. Not subscribing to the
theory that because the state has
voted wet the whole state should
be forced into condition of wetness.
Members of the house are di
vided in the reception of this bill.
Some accuse it of being too indefi
nite, while others believe that it is
sufficiently clear to centralize sen
timent. The most unusual feature
of the measure appeared to be -n
regard to the distinction between
sale by glass in Omaha and the
rest of the state. j
Affairs in both houses were com
paratively calm Tuesday afternoon,
Jelen's amendment to the county
manager bill being killed in the
senate. The bond question which
has passed the house, is now be
ing reviewed in the senate. This is
the measure which Governor Coch
ran recommended in his message
to the legislature following the
close of the state treasurer's office.

Because you cannot make a good cigarette

miles of warehouses filled with cigarette tobac
cos from the crops of 1931-32-33-34 most of

Just as money accumulates interest, two

milder and naturally sweeter.
