HEAR SIS AND BRO:
Heavens knows It makes me
feel fairly grey-bearded to think
about you kids coming up to
college. Sometimes It feels as if
I've been a part of the campus
SO long that they should prac
tically landscape me Into the
grounds, along with the other
architectural monstrosities. But
here you are, with your life
mlllng broadly before you. So,
though you won't listen, It be
hooves me to speak words of
wisdom
Cobbing aside the cobwebs of
my fiesliinun memories 1 come to
one silver thread leading: out of
the chaos of beginnings. It's cnlled
"settling down." All thp new, con
fusing:, even heart-breaking things
that are thrown at your head all
at once somehow fall back Into
line If you find that thread and
follow it. Kemembcr how we u.sed
to joke about that perfectly huge
bathtub in our hotel room in Kala
mazoo this summer? I said I used
to feel that I must constantly
keep sighting the light and mea
suring the shadows so I wouldn't
get completely lost in It. And it's
a homely fact that frosh days can
appear just as overwhelming as an
over-sized bath tub,
Lots of different things "eat"
college newcomers. Some kids
are starting their first long stay
away from home and mothers
cooking. With a stiff upper lip
and the acquisition of the catsup
habit they soon learn to get
along. Others, of the empty
Jeans, find job-holding combined
with school work packs a knock
. out punch until they learn to
pull their chin In and spar
scientifically. The high school
prodigies may find their new
adult world coldly unimpressed
at, their precocity, and have to
learn to take their place as 'o'ne
of the kids."
Because you're young, and be
cause you're you, the social v hirl
may have you going round and
round. Sis has heard so many
tales of amorous upper classmen,
and Bro. of pold-oigging coeds
that you may be a bit jittery
about the whole deal. In high
school, mammas and papas helped
weed out the dangerous charac
ters in the horizon, but only
heaven protects coilegiate wide
eyed lads and lassies. However, a
healthy skepticism is worth a
coupla chnperons. backed up with
conversational agility.
All who aim at being Big Shots
mound school had bent he warned
about the bruising back fires in
most activity enns. It's a great
thing to call all the campus war
lords by their first names and have
fingers in pies, but collegiate polit
ical triumphs butter little bread
after graduation. You meet all
kind of swell people, sure, and
'earn how to handle the less hwell
people graciously. That's fine.
But remember that small time
swell heads are gotesque.
The thing that seems most sig
nificant to you at tnis point is,
In all probability, studying. You
will hear, many times too, from
stuffy professors and worried
parents that "After all you're
here to get an education." For
about three and one-half years
that Irritating truth will roll off
without leaving Its impression.
Then, overnight, you'll find that
your fascinating record ot cak
ing, bull throwing, partying, and
"jest playing" has piled up some
pretty big bumps In the rocky
road to a diploma. Not that
you'll believe me or anything.
Whatever cl.se, don't got a
Chosen Vcw complex toward the
world at large. College students

Fraternities Optimistic
For 1937 as Auditor
Says Finances Sound
C. H. Frccark Predicts
Successful Futures
For Men's Houses.
Nebraska university's 27 oelnl
fraternities will open their doors
this fall in the soundest financial
condition they have enjoyed in
many yours. Kvcry house on the
campus which will carry on rti.sh
ing activities has been investigated
and approved by C. H. Frecark,
auditor for the Interfrnternity
Board of Control.
"All men's fraternities have
been found by the hoard to have
sufficient financial and organiza
tion strength to give assurance
that they will continue to operate,"
states Freeark. "The houses that
are still active have successfully
weathered the long depression and
their future seems assured."
Cost Schedule.
As an additional safeguard to
freshmen and newly enrolled stu
dents, the board of control has pre
pared a schedule of monthly costs
for each fraternity. From this
material which is on file In tho of
fice of the dean of men in the Ad
ministration building can be deter
mined the approximate exact costs
of every fraternity in which a
rushce may be interested,
Because of the inability of most
groups to Setermine the amount
of their house bill before the end
of rush week, the schedules nhow
charges of last year. "It is doubt
ful, however, that there wMI be
much change in any house as they
Pi Beta Phi Tops

went to Pi Beta Phi social sorority
last evening as the 1937 sorority
rush week drew to a close. Thirty
pledges make up the list of new
Pi Beta Phi members. Following
closely on the heels nf the leader
was Alpha Phi with a total of 29
pledges to its credit.
Members of Delta Delta Delta
sorority captured third place
honors with a list of 24 pledges,
while Kappa Kappa Gamma se
cured 22 new members. Remaining

Chapters Sound.
Fretcrnlties have always been
relatively sound at NebruNka, ac
cording to the records of the
school, but in ordr to insure their
continued good condition, the re
gents created the Interfrateinlly
Board of Control, It is the only
organization of Its kind in the
country, and has been operating
successfully for three years.
To safeguard both the students
and the Lincoln business men id
the principle purpose ot the board.
All fraternities are required to
submit a budget program at the
beginning of each school year, and
to submit operating reports at the
close of each month. When a fra
ternity becomes delinquent in pay
ing its bills, the board promptly
Investigates the cause, and when
necessary the fraternity is com
pelled to 'disband.
Membership of the board is
made up of seven fraternity alum
ni, two faculty members and two
members of the undergraduate
Interfraternlty council. The group
has full control and complete juris
diction over all fraternles and fra
ternity house building associations
Including the right to make rules
and regulations governing the
chapters and their members. The
board further has the power to dis
cipline the chapters and their
membership by any means which
it deems best
UNIVERSITY ADDS
28 NEW HERS
10 IIS FACULTY
Ranking Additions Include
Social Work Director,
Classics Chairman.
Twenty-eight new staff members
will take up their duties at the
University of Nebraska next week.
The group which Includes 2 pro
fessors, 1 associate professor, 4
assistant professors, 11 instructors,
7 assistant instructors and 3 others
was made necessary by the resig
nations of 18 faculty and staff
members, granting of leaves of
absence to 10, and the retirement
on emeritus status of 2 persons.
The two ranking additions of the
university faculty are Dr. Ernest
F. Witte who becomes director of
the graduate school of social work
and professor of social economy,
and Dr. C. G. Lowe, professor and
chairman of the department of the
claajics. Dr. Lowe, who was chair
man of that department at the
university . from 1927 until 1931,
for the past six years has been
director of the Gcnnadius library
of the American School of Classi
cal Studies at Athens, Greece.
Anticipate Record Enrollment.
With very incomplete figures
upon which to base their judgment,
university officials Saturday morn
ing anticipated that the 1937 col
legiate enrollment would be up to
the 1936 figure, which marked an
all time record. Last year there
were 6,546 college students regis
tered for regular day work includ
ing the college of medicine stu
dents at Omaha. A few more stu
dents paid their fees during the
past summer than In 193'i, it was
reported, with a slight gain in
number of new students who have
taken medical examinations for
entrance. A slight dimnnltion in
the number of stragglers next
week would cut the lead down to
the 1936 figure or below, making
officials conservative In their csti
mates.
Following are the changes in
the faculty:
Dr. Krnesl y. vvitta, director of ma.luiiie
school of sotial work and pro(esor ((
sorlal tconomy.
Ir. (Jeorire L. Peltier, transferred from

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS:
Paralysis Threat Continues
March-Watch Your Health!!
In some parts of our state there is a near epidemic of
Poliomyelitis or Infantile Paralysis whirh is causing; groat
concern to the citizenship. While more infants contract
the disease thun people of the university age there is no
ape at which one is immune. In some quarters there is developing-
a sense of hysteria. I want to say to the student
body that this is no time for that sort of thing-, but it ii
time for the application of some good common sense. Only
a few cases have occurred in Lincoln and with ths co-op.
eration of every one we hope to hold the number to a mini
mum. The symptoms of Infantile Paralysis vary greatly in
individual cases and it is difficult to state a series of symp
toms which will diagnose the condition. It is very impor
tant for every one's good that the condition be recognized
early. The symptoms of this season's epidemic are about
as follows: First there is a slight "cold in the head"
which is followed by a stiffness, especially in the back of
the neck. Some describe this simply as an uncomfortable
feeling in the neck. There may be or may not be a fever.
If there is it is seldom more than 101 degrees Fahrenheit
or 102 degrees Fahrenheit. The patient may show unusual
irritability and there may be digestive disturbances. Later
there develops a general soreness or tenderness of the
muscles.
Since some of these symptoms may be absent in almost
any case it is a good practice if any student has any of
these symptoms to report at once to the Student Health
Department in Room 203 Pharmacy building in order that
they may be put under observation aud both patient and
the student body protected.
