Most noticeable of till changes I
wrought by the beginning of the )
new year is definitely the campus
beautification. Apparent in almost
every collegiate haunt, the im
provement has already proved
stimulating anil edifying.
Reigning belles dress with care
ful charm and vivacity, the fellows
ogle and step lively, the faculty is
painstakingly patient. And all be
cause of the bumper crop of gor
geous freshman girls.
Stories of just how complete
ly the lovely young things are
taking the old school by storm
are legend. One popular upper
classman, found it necessary to
curb her pride In her new sisters
In the bond because her date was
so obviously Impressed with the
beauties she pointed out to him.
Another old timer found that !
double dating her attractive I
frosh roommate brought her the .
date she'd been waiting an entire
year for. A third gay gal is com
mencing to find time in her con
versation for the younger pro
fessors "twenty-eight is just
that interesting age, don't you
think?" Yet another partying
lass moans, "And there arc more
gooney looking fellows!" Things
have come to a pretty pass.
Goodbye Grads.
It begins to look like a had year
for high grades among first year
students. Already envisioning a
struggle to achieve averages among
their social minded pledges, one
house has just purchased an im
pressive battery of study lamps.
Actives hold their heads at the
certainty of hard won scholarship
cups slipping from their grasps,
dust off the fraternity files, stand
prepared to turn tutor. Stern study
hall supervision becomes a part of
the new order of things.
Masculine expressions of pul
cliritudinous appreciation crop
ped up very early and bid fair
to evolve a new regime. Greek
guys, with ultra special rushses
n tow, camped at all hours in
sorority pzrlcrs. seemingly con
tent just to gare at the passing
show of busy be?utics. One
group frankly pulled as a pet
pri'c persuasion that they had
to be good because look at the
swell houses they .vere acquaint
ed in. And the bigger men on
the campus, long far above
blind dates with pledges, openly
solic't such engagements. And,
- happily married, the newly pa
rental Cornhusker of yesteryear,
Claire Bishop, breathed ecstati
cally to his pert spouse, "Boy
arc there some good looking
girls In school this year!" Ah,
well.
Rocking Chair Relegation.
So obviously it's up to us shelved
oldsters to learn how to win
friends and influence people, and
console ourselves that life berins
nt 40. Terhaps there might even
develop a brain or two, ml of d"s
n rate competition with all this
fairness ol lace. Who can fousec
what far reaching changes may be
wrought?
There's a certain audacity un
derneath thi.se youthful phologe
nctic fronts that complctej a
pietty deadly double threat upon
the fraternity pins about school.
When a pretty girl is a trifle up

The Chancellor's Reception post
poned, hour dances cancelled, the
Varsity party forbidden, and social
functions in general at a standstill,
the University today anxiously
awaits developments in the fiirllt i
against Poliomyelitis.
Striking almost at the very
center of the campus, the disease
is as yet confined to a single case,
that of Miss Margaret Allen of
Ansley, residing at 331 North 13th
St. The 31 rocds rooming at that
address arc quarantined awaiting
release '.ate next week.
Miss Allen Hospitalized.
Miss Allen, according to Dr. E.
T. Hobhs ot the city health de
partment, returned from Ansley
Sunday to begin teaching at Fres-
cott school. She was taken ill and
hospitalized at Bryan Memorial
hospital after her case wa3 diag
nosed by Dr. Clarence Emerson,
attending physician.
For the information of the
student body, the symptoms of
Infantile Paralysis vary greatly
in individual cases and it is dif
ficult to state a series of symp
toms which will diagnose the
condition. It Is very important
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 feel
ing 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 Fah
renheit. The patient may show
unusual Irritability and there
may be digestive disturbances.
Later there develops a general

Three fraternities were forbid
den to sponsor any social activities
for one semester and four pledges
suspended for 30 days by the judic
iary committee of the Inter-Fraternity
council Thursday night as
punishment for breaking rules gov
erning rush week.
Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Sigma Kap
pa and Lamba Chi Alpha will not
be allowed to schedule any hour
dances, house parties, formal par
tics, or any other social function
this semester except for the an
nual Homecoming day celebration.
"Enforcement of rushing regula-
! tions has become so lax in the
last few years that we deemed it
necessary to take a drastic move
to curb further trouble in years
to come," Web Mills, president of
the council declared. "There wore
repetitions of errors made last year
for which there were no fines nor
punishments levied. It is the be
lief of the committee that these
measures should eliminate any re
occurrences of violations."
Fraternities Fined $10.
In addition to surpended social
activities. Phi Kappa Psi and Phi
Sigma Kappa were fined $10. All
three fraternities were guilty of
failure to submit a list or their
pledges to the Inter-Fraternity
council office by the stated time,
and of giving an unauthorized list
to the newspapers for publication.

I will be required to break their
pledges, move out cf the fraternity
house, and bc barbs for at lca.st
one month. The council reported
that this ruling was lenient as this
is a first offense, but advised that
in the future the maximum punish
ment of a semester's suspension
will be declared.
An error in the listing of Dun
Moravec as one of its pledges
brought Delta Tau Delta a fine of
$5. Moravec had not pledged the
fraternity and filed the protest
himself.
Dean Pohlenz was forbidden by
the committee to pledge any fra
ternity before the beginning of the
second semester because of failure
to keep a rush date. Both frater
nities were exonerated when blame
for the violation was assumed by
the rusher.
For failure to turn in a list of
their pledges at the proper time.
