JOHN HOWELL '
AS JOHNNY SEES IT.
From the idle conversation float
ing around the campus yesterday
I guess that last weekend's social
activity was good enough to take
care of next weekend too. Whoopee
a la victory was raised in no un
certain manner at each of the six
house parties which came off as
scheduled.
n
The Delt party was a blowout
in more ways than one. Just when
the party was about to get under
way, smoke began to drift into
the room. Finally those who were
early in arriving decided that the
Delt house was no place for a
party. It seems as though the fur
nace blew up right in the midst of
things. No, the Delts are at home
to their friends at the Lincoln
hotel, floors three to five inclusive.
If they aren't in their rooms they
may be on the elevator riding up
and down with the gal on the
night shift.
Bill Sawtell, who was the lone
casualty of the explosion, was not
daunted by a few scalds and made
a tour of the house parties swathed
in bandages with Virginia Ander
son, of Theta. You can't say he
didn't have an incentive.
Bob Mehi-ing, despite losses be
cause of the Lincoln High-Grand
Island game, Is still presiding at
the Klondike Klub. They tell me
that he and Jack Dodd, the other
active in the club, got together in
a ways and means committee to
straighten out the financial prob
lems. About the only thing they
can do is to rent that tile bath.
Or maybe they could write a joint
testimonial for Wheaties.
AS MARY ANNA SEES IT.
Now that football season's over,
our man Howell seems to be going
softie. They say that the drafts in
the Delt dorm drove him indoors.
And have you noticed the general
pickup in his personal appearance
since that Barbour gal came into
his life? He used to tear around
in dirty cords, but now he even
washes his face.
FAR INTO THE NIGHT.
Bud Kommers got the urge to
play his slide trombone in the
Kappa Sig dorm at 4 a. m. one
night last week. However, the rest
of the fraternity didn't exactly ap
preciate his efforts. He still comes
back with that old gag. "I've been
kicked out of better places than
this.'-
GREENER PASTURES ELSE
WHERE. Pi Phi's president, Virginia
Geister, might just as well try to
forget her 8. p. at the Sigma Nu
house. From all reports Jack Bin
jrenheimer has been trying his best
to unload a pin at the D. G. house
BANK NIGHT.
There's an old custom at tht
Fiji house, by which the frater
nity earns a little pin money on
the side. Whenever a member
makes a pun or swears at the din
ner table, the head of the table
calls for the bank, a little iron pig.
in which the offender must deposit
a nickel. As one of the boys ex
pressed it, "That's buying good

manners." And they do make
money.
THE WORM TURNS.
The Delta Theta Phi lawyers
fixed two of their pledges up with
a couple of Phi Mu's last Satur
day night. Roy Blixt who wears
the brown derby and Don Lowe
were to take the dates, but for
some reason or other Roy couldn't
go so Don was to disguise as Roy
and Ralph Shook to take Don's
place, an awful mixup but still
worse when the Phi Mu's decided
to switch dates. There followed an
exciting evening, I've heard, with
both sides being very very cagey.
THEY DEMAND A NEW DEAL.
Saturday night found Joe Red
field and Hank Robertus pacing
back and forth in front of the Al
pha Xi Delt and Tri Delt houses
muttering to all passers-by. "These
houses are unfair to organized
fraternities," and all because the
lights were turned out at 12:49.
THE STAG AT EVE.
People tell me that they saw
Ted Doyle lying flat on his face
at the Chi Omega house Sunday
night. He had (believe it or not)
stumbled over a piece of furniture.
It takes more than that to trip up
most of the football players.
SHE HAS A NAME FOR HIM.
Someone remarked one day that
Dow Wilson has been dating at the
Kappa house for some time now.
"Let me see," remarked that tiny
Tri Delt Sara Fields, "That must
make him a Kappa Delt."
SHE AIMS TO PLEASE.
When Phyllis Jensen. Chi Omega,
read in the Rag that her military
ball date, Frank Kudrna, had told
the Inquiring Reporter that he
preferred white formals. she
dashed down town and bought the
specified color. You see it pays to
advertise.
THE CURTAIN RISES.
The scene is the Alpha Chi
house, time, during the dinner
hour, the principal characters,
Terry York and Smith Davis
(Smith has not appeared on the
stage as yet). The occasion, a
candy passing. Another drama is
being enacted at the D. U. barn
theater. There too Smith is the
center of attention as cigars go the
rounds. The curtain falls.
FALL OF THE EAGLE.
No longer does the Phi Delt
eagle rest on the roof of the Beta
house, no longer can the Beta
Theta Pi's gloat. Monday three
daring Phi Delt pledges snuck up
the back fire escape of the Beta
house and rolled Charlie off the
roof. More daring Phi Delt's drag
ged their prize home.
As one brilliant Beta lemarked,
"People who live in glass houses
should not throw bricks." The Phi
Delt's, you see, broke a hunk of
the Beta roof off in the escapade.

fore the holidays, but lyrics need
not be written since they will be
judged entirely by the tune, words
being added only after the win
ning plot has been selected. Manu
script authors are not expected to
include songs in their entries, al
though their completed scripts
should indicate where songs arc
needed.
Judging of plots will be carried
out on a basis of originality, clev
erness of action and lines, ease of
staging, and adaptability to the
type of production presented in the
spring show. As is the custom, an
all male cast will be used with
feminine characters and members
of the pony chorus being assumed
by men. Scripts should be in
two or three acts with a running
time of about two hours and a
half.
Staging to Fit Temple.
Staging necessary should not be
unnecessarily elaborate since au
thors must keep in mind the limi.
ted means of the Temple theater.
All entries may be made at the
Kosmet Klub office in room 14 in
the basement of the School of
Music building, or handed directly
to Elias.
Competition both in manuscript
and song writing is open to any
person connected with the univer
sity in any capacity. Full rights
,10 an cmrics receiving prizes will
be claimed by the Kosmet Klub.

In recognition of the heroic
work of the radio amaturs, Co
lumbia's department of special
events has placed time at the dis
posal of the Mobile Emergency
Radio corps which will swing into
action in an imaginary catastrophe
to give the nation a picture of the
corps' capabilities and possibilities
in a broadcast over KFAB this
afternoon at 3:15. .
The corps is equipped with trail
ers manned by amateur operators
available for duty 24 hours a day.
This particular demonstration will
consist of an imaginary fire some
where in suburban New York. The
trailer unit, with its short wave re
ceiving and sending equipment,
will proceed there at once. On the
scene, it will establish contact with
the WABC studios on 52nd street
in the heart of New York and will
report the extent of the damage,
the assistance needed, etc.
Missouri-Kansas on Mutual
The Missouri-Kansas football
game at Lawrence Thursday will
be brought to a nationwide Mutual
audience by Reggie Martin, man
ager of the local stations and of
ficial football announcer for the
university. Martin will remain in
Kansas to bring the play by play
description of the last game of
the season for the Cornhuskcrs
when they meet Kansas State at
Manhattan Saturday. The game
will be carried on KFAB starting
at 1:45.
Saturday's game with the Iowa
Hawkeyes was carried by the larg
est local network of stations ever
to broadcast a Husker game de
scribed by Reggie Martin with the
exception of. the Minnesota game
which was fed to the Mutual net
work. Seven stations carrying the
broadcast included KFAB, Lincoln;
KGKY, Scottsbluff; KMA. Shen
andoah; KRNT, Des Moines;
WMT. Waterloo-Cedar Rapids:
WOW. Omaha, and KMBC, Kan
sas City.
Earaches of 1938 is a new mus
ical comedy starring Harry Conn,
comedian, which is scheduled to
take the air over a Columbia net
work next Sunday at 7:30 over
KFAB. The trials and tribulations
of a producer of a musical comedy
will be portrayed by Conn and a
stellar cast including Beatrice Kay,
comedy songstress, Barry Wood
baritone, and Mark Warnow and
his orchestra.

Germany, Italy and Japan don't declare wars-but they fight them.
Why do they keep these wars " unofficial"? And why are they fought?
To get raw materials? Colonies? To relieve population pressure? John

banned recently by the Nazis, explodes these alibis, and tells you Uic

Geography Producing' New
Type Distinctly American
(Continued from Page 1.)
manners and customs typically
American. The effort of pioneering
a new world will not be entirely
lost, it has made too deep an im
pression on our literature, philos
ophy of life and religion, and this
reaction to pioneering will serve
to develop a new type in America.
"Of course, the blending of all
the different characteristics of all
the different races that make up
the American population is devel
oping a new type of people, but
more than that there seems to be
in America a factor that stabilizes
these resultant blends. Race is
based on physical characteristics
and in America a definite change
in physical traits is taking place.
Heredity Disappearing.
"American people, regardless of
their ancestry are departing from
the old. racial characteristics and
are treading in a new direction.
Ales Hrdlicka, outstanding autho
rity on anthropology, found from
a study made of individuals with
at least three generations of Amer
ican ancestors that Americans
who by anceslory should have
black hair tend to have brown
hair, while those who should have
blond hair also tend to have brown
hair. This change that has come
about among Americans affects
other physical characteristics as
well as hair color."
Prof. Bell explained that Chil
dren born in America of pure long
and narrow head stock, such as
Swedes or Norwegians, depart
from their racial trait to develop
heads more nearly round. Children
of round headed ancestory, such
as Poles, have longer and nar
rower heads. There seems, the pro
fessor believes, to be something
about the American geography and
environment that definitely af
fects the head shape, even of the
first generation born in America.
Children Taller.
'American children are taller.
Children of the shorter races such
as the Alpine peoples are taller if
born in America than they would
be if born in their parents' home
land. This is probably due to the
difference in standard of living be
tween the parents' homeland and
this country. The human standard
of living is a very important thing.
If this standard among the Amer
ican masses were to be lowered,
their stature would be changed,
they would be neither so tall nor
so large. The effect of the food
supply on bodily stature is shown
by the children born in Germany
during the great food shortage of
the war period; they are from two
to four inches shorter than the
Germans born during more fa-

vorable times."
Inheritance, which along with
the environment is the basis of our
characteristics, the professor ex
plained, is not an exact thing. It
establishes the upper and lower
limits beyond which no man can
go despite the influence of en
vironment. Within this range en
vironment plays its full part. In
America this heredity is changing
and together with the environment
is producing a new American
type.
National Traits Acquired.
"The so called national traits are
acquired, not inherited. Just as
musical ability is a result of train
ing and environment, national
traits are the prduct of the cul
tural environment of the individ
ual." The change that the race is un
dergoing in America, Prof. Bell
said, is best exemplified by the
difference apparent among the
children of split families. Thus
children who are born to immi
grants after they come to Amer
ica are noticeably different from
their brothers and sisters born be
fore their parents migrated. The
Americans born show a definite de
parture from the ancestral pat
tern of physical type in the hair
color, stature and other physical
features and this departure is help
ing to bring the particular Amer
ican type.
As a classroom project in busi
ness psychology, 35 students of
Dr. W. E. Walton recently con
ducted another parking problem
survey in 40 blocks in the heart of
Lincoln's business district. Results
will be known soon. The study was
made with the co-operation of the
local police department.

BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS MADE
Alpha Phi Omega Members
Donate Services.
George Vlasnik and Bill Wil
liams answered a tall for blood
transfusions that was received
by Alpha Phi Omega, scout serv
ice fraternity, recently. Vlasnik
gave blood Saturay and Williams
Sunday to an Omaha hospital
patient who was suffering from
stomach ulcers. The transfusions
were indirect and were given to
build up the patient's strength so
ihat lie could undergo an opera
tion Monday.
The patient learned of the serv
ice fraternity's offer of men to
give emergency blood transfusions
thru a cartoon in Oz Black's "Here
In Lincoln" page. This was the
first chance that has been given
the fraternity to give blood since
the program went into effect.
Entertain National Head.
The fraternity entertained its
national president, H. Hoe Bartle,
and associated advisors at a rush
smoker held Sunday at the Phi
Gamma Delta house. Mr. Bartle,
who is prominent in the Kansas
City bar and former president of
the Kansas City Rotary club, ad
dressed the Alpha Sigma chapter
on the aims and purposes of the
organization. Fred Davie, regional
scout executive, and B. B. Daw
son, executive of the Cornhuskcr
council, spoke briefly. Major J. P.
Horan, Prof K. W. Lantz and In
structor W. S. Gregory of the uni
versity faculty also gave short
talks.
The regional convention of Al
pha Sigma chapter is planning on
sending several delegates. The next
meeting will be held Dec. 1 at the
chamber of commerce building at
7 o'clock, and all students who
have participated in scout work
arc invited to attend.
