SEEN ON
THE CAMPUS.
There may be parties and par
ties but never one like the one
LaVerne Luedlke attended. This
handsome Karpa Siff returned
from Norfolk the other day and
proudly displayed a gleaming: sher
iffs badge which he declared he
got at a party. The funny part of
it is that the badge is the real
thing and might be used to good
advantage at some time or other.
Although we have heard of no
candv and cipars, it is rumored
that Doris Weaver, Alpha Chi
Omega, has the pin of Gavin Hum
phrey, Pi K. A. The brothers are
clamoring lor cigars, and just in

leaving in June for the east where
he has received a naval appoint

The Theta's. erstwhile sorority
songsters of the campus, were a
wee bit heckled the other day at
one of their rehearsals for Ivy day
sing. While practising on the front
porch several masculine passers-by
would applaud wildly at the end
of each song, honking horns, and
vicing to see who could make the
most noise.
We wonder if the worried ex
pression which Ross Martin has
been wearing of late is due to Kos
met show tickets or if there is any
trouhle afoot about the current
heart interest at the Delta Gamma
house. 'Stoo bad that activities

Seeks Cooperation.
A third method of working for
peace that the campaign is striv
ing to make possible is thru educa

munities, colleges, churches, young
people's organizations, and the
like, and by means of deputation
teams to the neighboring commu
nities. The campaign will attempt to
obtain cooperation from others,
since all groups and individuals
who are in sympathy with the pur
pose of the campaign are invited
to cooperate with it to any point
consistent with their aim.
Because of the great threat of

"If they do this, the third open

SO SING
BROTHER SING!
With the Interfraternity sing
less than two weeks away, Greek
organizations all over the campus
are unlimbering their voices and
preparing to let themselves go.
Tuesday noon, the D. G.'s prac
tised outdoors for the first time
this year, to the edification of
listening Kappa Delts and Sigma
Kappas. Alpha Chi Omega traipses
in a body to the school of music
every afternoon at 5 to give the
music faculty a treat. Their excuse
is that their house is too far from
the center of things to be a con
venient meeting place. The A. T.
O's and the Beta's have r hall id
up several outdoor practices to
their credit, but other fraternities
still hesitate to let next-door
houses hear the worst. Sigma Nu
proudly announces the completion
of iU second practice this week.
New regulations for the sing are
that each group shall give only
one song instead of the customary
two. Those old standbys, "I Love
You Truly" and "Theta Lips" will
appear again this year, while the
Delta Gamma's try a change with
"Delta Gamma Rose." Campus
basses and tenors who were not
asked to sing with the rest of the
fraternity are forming "Grudge"
clubs, whose chief end is to sit
about the the front steps and
serenade their more fortunate
brothers during sing practice. And
those selected, who failed to ap
preciate the honor will spend the
rest of the year paying fines for
non-appearance at practices.
MOTHERS club of Delta Gam
ma will entertain members of the
active chapter and their escorts
at a buffet supper Sunday eve
ning at the chapter house. Mrs.
H. P. Lau is in charge of arrange
ments for the affair and about 50
couples are expected to attend.
CHI Phi auxiliary met for a des
sert luncheon at the chapter house
with fifteen present. Following
luncheon election of next year's of
ficers took place. New officers are
Mrs. Herbert Potter, president:
Mrs. Carl Dalling, vice-president
and Mrs. Howard Hadley. secretary-treasurer.
Hostesses for the
afternoon were Mrs. Perry Jen

a cringing weazened little crea

cording to Miss Howell, that the
Shakespearian festival reaches its
height. The new Stratford theater,
built soon after the old one burnt
10 years ago, is the scene of one
play after another. The theater,
designed by a brilliant woman
architect, has an Elizabethan stage
and modern pit. In the center of
the balcony, the seats are so ar
ranged that they can be removed
and the box of the Prince of
Wales substituted
Actors Imported.
Well known actors are im
ported from London for the gala
week, and streams of people tome
from all parts of the world to be
present. Americans are as active
in this as the English, and the
theater is built largely thru their
donations.
"An interesting feature that I
found when I was in Sratford,
three years ago," Miss Howell
commented, "was the line in front
of the theater where one could get
the choicest and most inexpensive
seats. One stood there anywhere
from half an hour to an hour and
a half, waiting in line. In London
old soldiers sometimes entertain
the persons in the line while they
wait."
Dramas Should be Seen.
"But what we are trying to do
with our festival in Nebraska."
Hunter explained, "is to establish
the same cultural precedent here
that is observed all over Europe.

Shanghai Professor Tells of
Governments in Schools
Of Germany, China.
Dr. Victor Hanson, professor ol
political science at the University
of Shanghai, spoke In an Informal
discussion Wednesday afternoon at
the Baptist student house on the
governments of China and Ger
many and the university.
"One of the most incredible
sights in America is the automo
biles lined up around school build
ings." said Hanson. "The wealth
over here after being there is re
markable; people in America don't
know what poverty is." The few
millionaires who are in China live
in an acme of luxury. At a party
you see nothing less than expen
sive automobiles and marvelous
jewelry.
Chinese Analyze Selves.
The Chinese have analyzed
themselves and found they have to
fight Japan with more than their
mouths. They have found that
there are certain weaknesses in
their people they would have to
overcome. The New Life move
ment has brought about a new
spirit of patriotism on the part
of all the people. "I feel that there
has been a lot cf progress made
by the movement which is par
ticularly aimed at resurrection of
the moral, physical and intellec
tual qualities of the people."
In speaking of the Chinese stu
dents in the American universities
Dr. Hanson said that the Chinese
politicians are gathering about
them highly trained men to act as
their supporters. For this reason
they send many students to the
United States and other countries
to school. These men are expected
to help him while in the country
in w hich they are studying.
Difficulty May Be Remedied.
China has been said to be be
tween the "devil and the deep blue
sea." Russia on one side, is ad
vocating communism thru abund
ant propaganda, and Japan on the
other, is causing her great humil
iation by her forceful grabs for
territory. This, however, may be
remedied if the movement is en
tirely successful and if it doesn't
take too long.
