THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1937 PAGE FOUR : - Societu By Johnny Howell Quarterback ami Mary Anna Cockle JOHN HOWELL AS MARY .ANNA SEES IT Are you trouhled with too much popularity? Is your life made mis erable by your many friends and their bothersome invitations to dinner? Is your date book over crowded? Beta's Paul Bradley has just the solution for such annoy ances. He too found life miserable until he invested just $1.49 for that priceless little book "How to Lose Friends and Alienate Teo ple." Now Paul's a different per son. He knows how to "bore a bore," and even hour dances aren't quite the ordeal that they used to be. SCANDAL. Maybe I shouldn't tell you. It's thinfis like this that ruin a fra ternity's reputation. But did you know that the Chi Phi's are keep ing a woman in their house? Never fear, she's black, and three fourths cocker spaniel, and some times! answers to the name of Kifi. SEEN AT AG. Somehow or other I haven't gotten out to Ag Campus often this year, but people tell me that Louise Magee and one of the D. G. pledges, a knock-out brunette, may be found lunching at Carp's almost any day. Kvidently some one has already found them, though, because for the last three weeks, thy've been pretty well escorted. n BICYCLE TO BUSSES. One ambitious, or should I say athletic, girl bicycles way out to Ag college every morning. Her books, she carries in'' a market basket. , THEY'VE YET TO SNEAK. Alpha O pledges haven't taken their nocturnal jaunt about the city yet. They'd planned to strike out one night last week, but one of the more conscientious little gals, Betty Dietz, had gone to a Coed Counselor meeting. They couldn't find her any plnce, so all the freshmen stayed at home I CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Pick's attire which consisted most-., ly of some very loud blue pajamas. His feminine audience didn't add tnueh to the situation either.

AS JOHNNY SEES IT TIIE WEATHER The weather bureau pre dicted fair and little change In temperature for last night and today as the frosty, rainy wave moved eastward. ABOARD THE NEBRASKA SPECIAL ENROUTE AMES, IA. While whipping along in this train, one thing besides the foot ball game worried me consider ably. With both Mehring and Dodd away from Lincoln, who was to take care of the Klondike Klub? I hunted up the boys and asked them, point blank, who was in charge during their absence. Their answer astounded me. After three weeks of strenuous rushing:, the proprietors have pledged a fresh- i man and he is no other than Leo Hann, frosh football hopeful. They tell me that the deciding factor in the pledging of Hann was the hot and cold water at all times. The peace and quiet on weekend nights also carried a lot of weight in Hann's decision. I understand the Theta pledges had a strenuous fire drill the other j night after one of the best sneak I nights pulled by either a sorority I or fraternity in a long, long time. Being away from the campus and a little short of items, I might mention the grand entrance of the sorority gals. It seems that, no matter when the boys show up for the date, she spends from 15 to 20 minutes someplace upstairs. I imagine the object is to keep the boy waiting in anticipation until he is thoroughly jittery. Then she can swoop down on the noor ; youngster and completely subdue him before he has even had a chance to show his wares. The Alphi Phi's have the edge on other sororities in this, for they begin their trek dovn the flights from a long balcony And wlen they barge around that last curve be fore reaching the main floor, they have plenty of momentum to carry them just as far as thev want to be carried. Pacifists Display Optimism De spite World Reamament ii'ontinued from Ptge 1.) a specific phase of world prob lems, hranded the new Italian German "friendship" as unstable, and outlined the desires of various nations in the Meditei i ancan. But. President Itoosevelt came in for more eulogy at the principal address of the conference, at 8 p. m., v. hen Dr. leaves developed his thesis "International Danger Spots." The first step in Laves' cure fur war is the establishment of a united front of nations against all aggressors an international police force Dr. I Jives feels that the president's speech shows a tendeia y on the part of this country- to co-operate actively in this program. With the I'mted States ... ... .. , ..ii h s tue inter national one, the pacifists are jubi lant. With the leading nations co-operating against aggression, Dr. Laves would have them proceed to the ironing out of the causes of war. His conception of interna tional danger spots was not that of the man on the street-Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan. Economic Danger Spots. "Danger spots," he pointed out, "are for the most part economic in character. Questions that will lead more nations into war center mainly around world commerce. The danger spots are monetary in stability, insane tariff barriers and equally insane quota systems, and the need for raw materials." "To talk of free trade," laughed Dr. Laves to his small audience, "is foolish. But people that are hun gry are not interested in peace. Monetary stability as of the France, Britain and U. S. agree ment last year, for the whole world is possible. Tariffs can be ad justed to the advantage of all." Speaking of raw materials, the internationalist devised an ingen ious scheme for satisfying all na tions. He would gtve nations seek ing political prestige mandatory jurisdiction over the colonies they desire, though these colonies be economically worthless, thus salv ing the national ego. The intelli gent attitude of all nations on world trade would be the real solu tion to the problem of raw mate rials, he emphasized. Sandburg Comes To Lincoln Via Chaircar, Walks in Rain (Continued from Page 1.) of the stadium, the poet, perhaps recalling his own military experi ences, commented on cadet mili tary training by saying that al tho he detested the "panoply and pageantry," he thought that the "calisthenics and disciplinary train ing were invaluable" "People have enjoyed fighting all thru history," Sandburg said. "Some of the best poetry and drama of all time is about wars and warriors. We can see that the fighting element of humankind is still on the earth by the Spanish and Chinese struggles. Until we can be assured that militaristic nations have stopped collecting and using weapons of destruction, I see no other course for America than to be prepared for any emer gency. Wars are like an epidemic they spread very easily." -American "Tall Tale." Later, introduced to a university audience of about 3.000 by Dr. Louise Pound, Sandburg opened his talk on "American Folk Songs and Tall Tales" with a sketch of the world political and economic situation, and America's place in the international scheme. "America itself is a tall tale among other nations," the poet declared. "It Is a young nation with more future before it than Europe has past behind it. Ever since the Civil war Europe has been jealous of American possi bilities. History is being made by the youth of America. Your future depends upon what you want and what you dream despite all propa ganda which is being poured into your ears. Advises Acceptance of Reality. "The whole International layout is foggy; the motivation, is foggy. Everywhere men are talking of war. Men seem to be bom for con flict, but youth may decide, if tt will, why wars are to be fought and what they are to accomplish. Human experimentation and fail ure, the present world events and problems, will form the poetry, novels and drama of tomorrow. The life of today is a life of realities. Don't take life as it is depicted by the Saturday Evening Post." The Galesburg, Indiana poet, who is now working on a fourth volume of the life of Abraham Lincoln, said that Lincoln was one of those rare men whose speeches looked neither ridiculous nor path etic under the testing searchlight of time, because Lincoln had an in quiring, analytical mind. Sandburg felt that he could talk to young people since he had his feet in two eras, that of Lincoln and that of the present. "The People, Yes." Switching from the conversa tional to the poetic, Mr. Sandburg read excerpts from his latest work "The People, Yes," which he de scribed as a footnote to Lincoln's Gettysburg address. "Maybe it ain't poetry, maybe It's only his. tory," he amended. Included among the selections which won hearty response from his audience were: "He who burn I himself must sit on the blistcro." "To live hard, work hard, and die hard, and then go to hell after all, would be too damned hard." " 'Daddy,' " said a little girl in Cin cinnati. O., "What does the moon advertise." "Said the mongrel to the mastiff, 'My ancestors didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they've been descending ever since,' " "WHAT MAKES MY EYES TIRED?" or how Jane learned about sight-saving light DECIDES TO STUDY GUESSES EYES ARE TOO TIRED GOES TO VISIT SALLY I fj r PICKS UP BOOK AND READS AMAZED TO FIND SHE HAS READ ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT ASKS SALLY WHY HER EYES DON'T FEEL STRAINED rV I I 1 fc i TV'" i i k.iih.i i nu t in (hi vfi HUtltl rir-fl Hittxf'o.
