Last year, when it was ultura ultra to strut about the dance floor "cheek to chock." the gals invariably wore hats with brims anywhere from live to ten inches wide. If the per sistent Astaires succeeded in get ting around the brim there was al ways a foot long feather to jab them in the nose. And now with the boys learning to truck, and with no little difficulty either, the fenmies have turned the tables and are wearing skull caps which broad-mindedly might be called hats. So determined wore the Sigma Nil's Monday night to learn to truck, that they decided to skip a meal and pool their resources for an authentic exhibition hy tar paper blondes. About 8 p. in., the' truckers began the exhibition which lasted far into the night. I am told. But the inspiration took a quick nose dive when it was found that the hoys just didn't seem have the necessary um-pa Running close competition to trucking is a new dancing fad called "the fog."

All can didates must be in uniform, Kermit Hanson, captain of the club, announced. I had experience with Mr. rage feel he is well qualified to head the organization he has served SP well. The Nebraska Historical society and the Native Sons and Daugh ters have also engaged Mr. Pago to address them in a joint lunch eon of the two societies on Oct. 1. the first of which was held Salur. day at the Wesley foundation.

For best results, ask him to sing the Rock county high pep song during his demonstration. The Kappa youngsters did it Monday night. I haven't the least idea when they climbed in the win dows yesterday morning, but about 11 p. ni. Monday they had the fiat hoys running, pa jama-clad, to the windows to the rhvthm of "I Love You Truly K. K. G." Ecing able to dance has a cou ple of drawbacks. For instance, Bill Crittendnn, dancer deluxe, packed his date's coat about the Park all last Saturday evening while other gals were doing setting-up exercises to keep warm. The girl got a good night's sleep After keeping up with Bill, I am told, which is much better than soaking sore feet half the night.

AS MAM YA NN AS KKS IT No more "Big Apple" at the Alpha Chi house. An architect warned the girls that they're be ing too rough. Some day the house is likely to collapse, you know. Sigma Chi pledges didn't have a chance on their sneak night. One of the mothers more or less let the oat out of the bag, by calling the house early in the evening to ask if her son had sneaked yet. so ac tives didn't have much trouble ratohing up with the boys. To add insult to injury, all Friday night dates were broken for the little lads and they spent a quiet eve ring gathered about study tables.
