ary music fraternity elected offi
cers for the coming year. Ray
mond Reed, instructor in the school
of Music at the University of Ne

chosen superintendent councillor.
Other officers are; Richard White,
president: William Taylor, vice

Minor Plumb, historian. William
Miller, outgoing president pre
dent presided. At the meeting following-

ALPHA O'S HOLD
MAY DAY REUNION.
Lincoln alumnae of Alpha Omi
cron Pi entertained at a May Day
luncheon Saturday at the chapter
house for the Omaha alliance. The
tables were decorated with spring
flowers. After luncheon Betty
Paine gave a talk on her European
trip last summer. The active
chapter sang the song they are
preparing for Ivy Day, "Fragande
of the Rose." The social hour
was followed by a business meet
ing at which Mrs. George Misko,
president of the Lincoln alliance,
presided. Fifty guests were pres
ent. ing. To obtain the average of
each group, the total grade points
are divided by the total number of
hours carried by the group.
Women's Scholarship Best.
The scholastic superiority of
women's undergraduate groups
was much in evidence as ten social
sororities, seven professional sor
orities and four other organized
groups ranked above the all
sorority, all-women and non
sorority averages.
Paced by Alpha Xi Delta who
replaced Delta Gamma at the top,
the social sororities' standing are
as follows: Alpha Phi, 2.6."9;
Kappa Kappa Gamma. 2.603;
Delta Tau Delta, 2.64S; Chi Ome
ga, 2.572: Alpha Omicron Pi, 2.568;
Alpha Chi Omega, 2.558; Delta

2.511; Phi Mu, 2.492; Kappa Alpha
Theta, 2.465; Kappa Delta. 2.300;
Delta Zeta, 2.289; Sigma Kappa.
2.250; Pi Beta Phi, 2.141; Gamma
Phi Beta, 2.133; Alpha Delta
Thcta, 2.056.
According to Dean Thompson a
rating of 4 would show that all
grades averaged 90 or above, a
rating of 3 would show that all
grades averaged 80 to 89, a rating
of 2 would indicate that all grades
averaged 70 to 79, etc.
Farm House, winner of the
Hainer scholarship trophy for
twelve consecutive semesters, is
classified by the university rating
system as a professional fraterni
ty, but because the Farm House is
represented in the Interfraternity
council and is socially active, the
organization has been eligible for
the social fraternity scholarship
award. If the Farm House were
classified as a social fraternity, its
average grade point of 2. 614
would be .192 below top ranking
Sigma Alpha Mu's 2.806.

To Witness Broadcast
Of Lincoln Group.
Those who have never witnessed
a broadcast of more than local
nature will have an opportunity to
watch a national hook-up from
behind the scenes when Lincoln's
great Cathedral choir goes on the
air over Columbia network today
from 2 to 2:30 from the First
Plymouth church.
Tho microphones will be sus
pended high in the center of the
church to receive the music of the
choir and organ. Another set will
be used for the speakers, while
still a third set are to be placed
to register music from tho carillon
bells. The engineers trained for
such a program have their own
code of signals, and everything
must move with precision.
The public is invited to attend
the broadcast at the First
Plymouth church, but the KFAB
engineers who are handling the
program insist that the doors
must be closed and absolute silence
attained before the broadcast be
gins. Mayor Bryan and other
city officials have promised to
co-operate with the choir in ob

church. Officer Hurd who has
been stationed to take charge of
policing the neighborhood will be
assisted by 100 boy scouts,

The capture of the giant Orang
outang was perhaps the high spot
in Tho Martin Johnsons' expedi
tion to Borneo, according: to Mrs.
Johnson, who is making a. personal
appearance at Orpheum Theatre
on May 5 in connection with the
showing of her motion picture,
"Jungle Depths of Borneo". The
Orang-Outang in question weighs
300 pounds and has an arm spread
of nearly nine feet. He is now
happily housed in the Bronx Zoo
in New York City, where he de
vours some seven dollars' worth of
fresh vegetables and fruits every
day. In reality two Oranff-Outangs
were raptured, one by being
lassooed and the other by being
snared in nets nfter the tree had
been cut down. As the Borneo
Government, however, would give
a permit to The Johnsons for only
one, the larger of the two was
brought to America.
The giant Orang-Outang is one
of about, thirty animals and birds
brought back by The Johnsons, the
others being a 150-pound Orang
Outang, a baby Orang-Outang,
twenty -two Gibbon apes, two
miner biids (which speak even
better than parrots), and some
Brock monkeys.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, their pilot
and a native Borneo boy were the
only people on the boat, which
came back from Borneo around
South Africa, owing to the fact
that war dues on the Suez Canal
make its use prohibitively expens
ive for small boats. This four
days extra time added considerably
to the cost of getting the animals
to America, as they practically eat
their weight in gold, their fare be
ing composed of Sunkist oranges,
Oregon apples shipped out especi
ally, as well as fresh celery and
lettuce by the crate-load. Note:

LUG AMERICAN ART
Morrill Exhibition Includes
Reproduction of Best
Paintings of 1936.
Living American art is exem
plified in 12 pictures which will
be on display on the third floor
corridor of Morrill hall for the
next two weeks. They are repro
ductions from among the 48 best
American paintings for the year
103(5 as selected by a group of dis
tinguished artists for the Living
American Art incorporation.
Especially interesting is the pic
lure by Joseph Stella entitled "The
Voice of the Nightingale." Poets
have long since immortalized in
words the beauty of the nightin
gale's song, but It is rather dif
ferent to see it put on canvas us
ing lines and color. "Mars, Orange
ami Green" is a creation little less
understandable than its title, but
it has a certain attraction. The pic
tures are supposed to bo chosen
for theh artistic quality rather

The walk past the curious nm.

was shorter to mo than to the
grumbling photographers. And
poor Filot Charlie had to put up
with my multifarious questions on
glider-trailers for transport planes
in an "air train," and toto the
bulky chute that was to serve me
as cushion and protection against
forced landings.
I tried hard not to imagine the
unladylike position that heavy
parachute forced me into when it
was buckled on. A square folded,
leather padded lifesaving device to
sternward is most disconcerting.
But the slightish Mr. Abel, whose

as are all air first timers, with
the manner in which the country

rather than the objects I had spent

world looks so orderly from tho

much shorter, but a plane hauled

nautics Secretary Doyle says he
considers gliding the ideal way to

Certainly the sense of roominess of

any possible overpopulation of the
