s PAGE FOUR THE DAILY NERRASKAN, SUNDAY, OCTORER 17, 1937 : tJt Societu By Johnny Howell Quarterback and Mary Anna Cockle JOHN HOWELL AS JOHNNY SEES IT. If I hadn't been pretty well muddled up yesterday I might say something about the co-orre-Bpomlent today. The house partying campus was In a quandry lust night becau.se the boys couldn't figure out whether they should drown their sorrows or celebrate a victory. Most of thorn just gave up and settled down to a little skady hoisting on general principles Circulating about sorority and fraternity houses tiii.s week is a collection of tin types which pic tures some pretty rare bustles of the "gay nineties" among other things. The collection belongs to Charley Brock, the learned, and he'll let you gand"r lor a sl:inny dune. t Photographers had trouble tak ing football putuies when Hob Mehring positively refused to smile under any circumstances. All manner of means were used and finally a bright idea was hatched. They got a picture cl a snake and held it before Mi bring and asked him to please .soiile. "No," grilled Bob, "it ain'i got hips." AS MAin ANNA SEES IT. Rain the first in 7 years at a home game rather spoiled my out look on campus life I'm afraid, but I did manage to look between the drops and see something here and there. Foremost at the game were the latest in headgear for the young modern, shower caps, and then those cellophane affairs that make the wearer look like a Christmas tree in full bloom. A couple of Sigma Chi's had an in spiration all their own, and were huddled 'neath a sheet of oil cloth. Most of us sissies left at the end of the first half, but I heartily congratulate the brave souls who stuck it out. JUST BEING EXCLUSIVE? Are the D. U.'s building a mote about their castle? At least they had it well full of water for their party Inst night. Too bad they louldn't ditch the ditches for the jvening. I haven't heard of any one who fell in tho. HE'S HAUNTED. Some little gal has done a pretty good job of shadowing Phi Delt Frank Bennett. He isn't bearing up very well either under his sud .den popularity with the young lady but spends most of his time dodging his pursuer. , IT'S BEING DONE NOW. Alpha O pledges Jane Pratt and Betty Ann Clarke have given up caking for milking. Last week found them in the Drug almost every afternoon slowly sipping milk They ought to lie healthy children anyhow. JOHNNY GONE SL STICK? It all happened one day last week when Adna Pobson was strut tine a new derbv around anil alxiut. Our own Johnny Howell thought the hat might look better at a more rakish angle so he gave it a pull, but was his face red when lie was left holding the brim. THEY WEAR THE DIAMOND. The most Impressive part of the weekend was when the Heta's gathered for their sing at their house party Friday night It al ways makes shivers run up and down my spine Dick Hempel had a bit of trouble Friday night. When he found that he was going to be late, he sent a friend over to the Alpha Phi house to entertain his date Pat Prime. By the time Dick arrived, neither date nor friend were in sight. It was all settled later. AND SUCH NICE BOYS TOO. Chuck Tanton a id half the pub lication "big shots" brought their own apple cider at the Cornhusker last night, and almost got bounced out of such a respectable place be cause apple cider doesn't usually come in green bottles. However, their reputations were saved by a little proof to the manager. Wanted - 75 Cornhusker sittings a day at Townsend Studio. Former Track Star Writes of Oriental War Horrors (Continued from Page 1.) vestigation was ordered, and all of the Chinese witnesses had been sent to Nanking no evidence. The Japanese got a little bit mad, I guess, and we were sent into the front lines. Japanese Barracks Close By. The Japanese barracks are lo cated about a thousand yards or so from the northern boundary of the International settlement. The .settlement boundary is Soochow Creek kind of a famous little creek -filled with Sampans and trash before the war, but every fighting man knows where it is, which way it flows, and what it stands for. The foreign powers divide the settlement boundai ies among themselves. We, for instance, arc supervised by the commander in chief of the Asiatic station. The Japanese have always had a full admiral out here really the com manding officer of all the foreign powers, but since Japan Jias al ways been the invading party, we act together but independently. Kind of a funny situation if any other country would invade China, our commanding officer would probably be a Japanese. Spends Time on "Front." I've spent four of the last five weeks on the front lines. My sector has been I've had two now both times within four hundred yards of the north station area. The Eighty-eighth division of the Chi nese army, commanded by Gen. Chang Chi Chung, is just across the creek. I've been assigned two chunks of ground about 700 yards wide and two miles long. I've had 19, men, counting myself, and have never worked harder in my life. We have rolled fifty rolls of barbed wire, used about 50,000 feet of lumber, and put in alxiut 25,000 sandbags. I live in my clothes, sleep three hours a night, and eat whenever I can. For excitement we dodge flying shells and watch dead Chinamen float down the river. I handle coolies with a club: with two marines have broken up four mobs to prevent the killing of al leged spies or water poisoners; have prevented employes of two mills from striking when shells got too close, and have chased China men down every alley and into every room in Shanghai, I think. Most fascinating thing I've ever done four airplanes have been shot down just across the creek had enough adventure to last me the rest of my life. Chinese Poor Shots. Next week I go with the com pany to Shanghai Power company down on the Whangpoo river very close to Woosung fort. The Japanese have all the territory around there an ammunition dump on one side of us and a land ing field on the other. The Chinese can't shoot very straight but I un derstand they sight In on both places. I probably won't be relieved from there until the war la over, because it la hard to get In and out of the Japanese lines. Hope the devils don't turn on us. The danger la greater with the Chi nese, however, because they hav few officers and itchy fingers. I'll write more later. GLENN. Wilte Leads Discussion at Social Workers Meet Dr. Ernest F.

The human propensity for tak ing seats in the back row, prompted Professor Scott at the University of Minnesota to request his students to move forward and use up the front seats. All came forward except one lad who kept his remote seat. "Move down to the front, please," said the prof. "I can't," the boy said, "I tore my pants."
