BV STORM SCARE
Last night the raging of a
furious snow storm that made the
out of doors fit for neither man
nor university boys and girls, was
rivaled by another raging still
more vicious the raging of tele
phones. The pepctrator of the trouble
some hoax cither thrown off bal
ance mentally by the first sizable
snow in many moons or overawed
by the proportions of the precipi
tation called all of the organized
houses on the campus by telephone
and made the following announce
ment in some such words as
these:
"This is Dean Harper speaking.
University clashes will be dis
missed tomorrow because of the
storm."
Students apparently disregard
ed the call as a joke for several
hours, but around midnight credu
lous or dubious students began
calling the downtown papers and
the Nebraskan. An attempt by
the Nebraskan to check up on the
rumor revealed that Dean Harper
was not home and that his wife j
knew nothing o fthe strange calls.
Dean Thompson had removed
the receiver from the hook and left
it off.
When both deans were finally
reached, they scotched the rumor.
