Picked up by Lincoln police who
found an engraved wrist watch
and an electric shaver upon his
person, Milford Graham. 26, con
fessed Wednesday the robbery of
the Sigma Alpha Mu house dur
ing the early hours of the morn
ing of Dec. 4. He was arrested for
investigation Tuesday afternoon
in connection with the car he was
driving for which he had no bill of

A former Bizad student, Graham,
told police he had come to Lincoln
from Chicago where he had been
working for several years. Here
he met a Sioux City man whose
name he never learned and who.
after a long round of "beers." told
him how easy it was to "crack"
the fraternity houses in Lincoln.
Pair Tries Several Houses.
Graham told police that he and
the Sioux Cityan first went to the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon house. While
Graham watched from the car, the
other man entered the house but
was unable to get into the study

By CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
I ran into Bill downtown today,
and his handshake was as warm
as toast. Usually people who live
in a small town like Lincoln don't
shake hands when they meet on
the street But this was different.
Bill used to be a member of the
Nebraskan staff until the univer
sity made him resign.
Bill wanted to know all the news
from the office: funny how there
can be so little news around a
place that's supposed to deal in the
stuff. But 1 told him all the offica
gossip: how we changed the desks
around so the activity lounge liz
ards couldn't bother the news edi
tors; how the dramatic critic fin
ally broke down and panned the
University riayers: how the whold
staff still quakes when the phone
box emits one of those long, jan
pling rings that sounds like the
dean's office is on the other end.
"There's a new Awgwan out.
Bill" I said to him.

"The dickens there is: Suppose
Lewie will give me one?" His
smile must have widened another
foot. It should be worth a copy to
