PACE I OUh THE DAILY ISKBUASKAN. TUESDAY. JAMIAHY . I. 103ft By Johnny Howell Quarterback anil Mary Anna Cockle JOHN HOWE LI AS MAUY ANNA SEES IT Just to start the New Ycai olf right, campus romeos have been a hit bufty hastening the good ole spring time. Anyhow it all has something; to do with a young man's fancy, ami is bound to happen to the best of people. Alice Anderson, for instance, sur itv.wa us all last night and passed the candy with Sigma Chi Corwin .Moore, sort of sudden like. The Theta's had hardiy expected any thing so downright hasty, as the Sigma Chi white cross had only wandered Theta-way just before Christmas, but then that was really a whole year ago, if you pay any attention at all to dates. The Sigma Kappa's found oiit of their prize pledges missing when they counted noses Monday morning. The little gal who did the fade-out act was Nadine Young. She's been strutting a mammoth diamond that was once Dan Kingman's, former Sig Alph here, and now a lieutenant for Uncle Sam. They'd set the date for this spring, but somehow or other that seemed too far away, or maybe the thought of exams coming up motivated it all. Any how, Christmas Day they prom ised to "Love, honor and obey" and will, wc hope, live happily ever after. Santa Visits the Phi's. But to get back to the Theta house, and this time it's another pledge. Have you noticed that A. T. O. pin which has strayed their way? Milly Wekesser is the youngster who decided it would be fun to wear Bob Rcddlsh's pin, but he thought of the idea first, so everything's just rosy for awhile. Three of the Alpha Fill's made quite a rake-off from Santa this year. As Johnny predicted, Ginny Pedcrson did go to California with a purpose in mind and came home this morning bringing back Die bacon, which was no less than a diamond with all its Implications. The donor, an ercstwhile Delt from this campus, is no less than Ray Elliott. Barbara Buffington and Glrard Putnam, Fiji, decided to more or less cinch what was al ready a pretty good deal ami now she's wearing a (well we might as well call a spade a spade) dia mond. Then there's the little pledge who is starting out rather early if I do say so, also wearing a sparkler, and believe it or not she plans to leave school just be fore exams, something the rest of us really ought to do. Looks like she's well on the way to the altar. More Diamonds. One of the Tri Delt pleigcs, Marjorie Lindquist, displays a dia mond set in onyx and worn on her engagement finger. This how ever she claims is merely a Christ mas present from the boy at home, so couldn't tell you just how much it means. At present she's still free lancing. And right next door at the Alpha Xi Delt house, Arlene Magnuson, is quite proud of her new ring which she picked up somewhere along the way during vacation. Bat seriously, it once belonged to Charles Norris and seems to stand for a lot. Those two have been steadying It ever since the first of the year, so I'm not surprised, but the sisters say they are. By the way, there's a little mat ter that shouldn't escape our at tention. It seems to be quite seri ous for Phi Psi Boo Ball and Louise Benson, Kappa pledge. In fact she spent eight days In Om aha just to be near him during vacation, as long as they have the same Initials such a combination ought to Be quite economical. Thev wouldn t even have to change the engraving on the silverware, but that, I guess, is their business. Fun Ahead for Ginny. If I really aspire to be a colum nist, I ought to fix up some fancy New Year's resolutions for all my friends, or do you think I'd have some libel suits on my hands ? Anyhow, I did happen across a couple of practically Inseparables who were drawing up a joint com pact which had all the ear marks of a suicide pact. It started out as usual, "We do hereby resolve to start studying, to cut down smok ing to a half a package etc., etc.," and far into the night. When they got as far as resolution 33. there was a slight disagreement and they haven't spoken to each other since. Ginny Gcistcr thought up a good way to start out 1938. She says she plans to just have fun, and then adds that she intends to en tirely forget her conscience. Those were her very words, so there can he no comeback. Somehow or other I'd always thought Ginny did have fun. As for her con science, I couldn't say right off hand. And They Ban Slot Machines. Just for a parting shot, 1 must tell you about the excitement that went on in North Platte during vacation. It all has to do with a pool which Irene Neville's father .started in a local barber shop there. It seems that Bud Yoder spent no 'little time in the vicinity during the holidays, so people na turally began to wager, as people will in North Platte, on just how long the w'lolo affair would last. Mr. Neville and Irene's brother-in-law, known In those parts as "Twist" laid a bet of a buck, apiece and then let anyone In who cared to shell out that amount. After everyone had laid their nets, and the pool wan open to the general public, Mr. Neville col lected the money, and now they're just waiting for things to happen. Irene's father placed his money on January, and he ought to know his own daughter, while "Twist" gives those two until July when Irene makes her annual jaunt to Virginia. There seems to be some dissension of opinion, but all we can do Is watch for developments. Societu AS JOHNNY SEES IT. Having spent a very pleasant vacation between the sheets at Lin coln General hospital, this writer finds himself in a hole for n line of gossip about naughty' boys and gills home from college to show the home towners just how much they have learned nt Nebraska. From indications university prod ucts did it up brown. One thins that tickles us in ine hope of students that someone will ask them if they studied. After the usual noisy greetings and ques tions about the vacation someone brings up the question: "Did you study anything?" He (or shel then waits breathlessly while the other says "no" and returns the question. The student blurts out tint he didn't even open a book either anil they both walk away feeling that they are real "honest injijii university students. After finishing a few magazines one day at the hospital attempt ing to pass the time we picked up college paper wntcn contained what we thought not a bad sugges tion for Dean Heppner and the charm school. Dean of Women Mable Mannix of Marquette, uni versity has at last given up on the gum chewing proposition. Says she: "Gum chewing seems to be a recognized America)', institution. Resistance to this harmless enjoy ment is futile. It certainly he hooves us, then, to see that our girls, if they want to chew, do so in the right places and in the proper manner." University of Nebraska coeds probably think that a "chaw" ought to be in good taste before, after and between meals, while studying, while dressing and at athletic contests. The only thing they seem to bo leary about is whether to chew in church. That, we suppose, should be food for thought in any college. Incidenally, Boachnut Tanton might take note and get a similar endorsement from Dean Heppner. It wouldn't help business but there would be that feeling of good will. DAILY NEBRASKAN ' RECALS 'BIGGEST' STORIES OF YEAR (Continued from Tage 1.) remainder of the season. This story rates the number one po sition at Nebraska. 2. Nebraska's experimental uni cameral voting down the university appropriation bill. During the first part of last year, Nebraska citizenry watched their new type of legislature shoo; for baskets with 43 unicameralites on the floor. Now that the truth can be spoken, the Daily No braskan thru its editorial columns, campaigned in every way to in fluence 29 representatives that the classrooms were overcrowded and that the library and several other buildings were oxidizing into dust. Editor Pipal wrote his editorials, bouquets were handed to each and every senator thru a "Meet Your Senator"' column, would-be-university-lobbyists tried to keep in step wiih the pace-setting legislators, but legislative bill No. 334 fell short by one vote. The next edi tion of the Nebraskan created a real furor in the legislative assem bly when the 28 adherents of the bill were pictured as "Twenty eight Senators Believe in the Fu ture Development of Nebiaska State." 3. Bible resignation; Jones a newcomer. Earlier in the year, after sev eral weeks of rumor, Dana X. Bible left the fields of Nebraska for grener ones at the I'niversity of Texas. Shortly later Major Lawrence "Biff" McCeney Jones left Oklahoma university to come to Nebraska and its winning teams. Senator Frank Brady en tered the picture as far as the Daily Nebraskan was concerned when outstate papers quoted him as saying that he would demand to learn the salary Jones was to get here. The following day Sen ator Brady denied those alleged quotations exclusively to the Ne braskan. 4. Rejection of Lower Division plan. This story was very important to Nebraskan students of the pres ent and the future. After months of meeting, pondering, and deba ing, the majority plan calling for more constructive orientation to frsshnien was finally adopted. Too many months of deliberation, how ever, seemed to render the measure inactive and full of holes. The minority plan calling for a segre- gatlon system that would put freshmen students in separat catagorles was overthrown. 5. Choosing of Innocents, Mortar Boards, Phi Beta Kappas and Sigma Xis. Altho coming at different times, the election to these honoraries, all of which are based on different qualifications, proved to be hon ored and coveted by present title holders just as It has down thru the years. 6. Student uprising for football seats. John K. Selleck left his office as usual pne early fall evening. Within the hour, however, some one hundred students had eongre gated at his home. These students demanded that they be Jriven seats In Memorial stadium Instead of in cinders on the field.. Sellec attempted to explain the situation and finally peace was reached by the refunding of some $1,300 ;u about 400 students demanding that half their student ticket money be given back. 7.

Bill Crittenden, verifying rumors that she was the Honorary Colonel of 193". More than 10.000 dancers and spectators attended the affair and the mili tary department disclosed to the Nebraskan exactly and surely where their profits were spent. 8. Election of Prof. R. V. Shu mate to the position of Research Director of the Unicameral. Allho this story had little sig nificance to the university stu dents, politicians and capital corri dor commentators discussed this position for weeks before the noni inition. Prof. Shumate was a newcomer to the university, filling a leave of absence by Prof. Harold Stoke. The boys at the capital, especially George Mason who is a staunch opponent of the unicam eral, says that Mr. Shumate knows his theory but says that it remains to be seen what a university pro fessor will do in practice. 9. Polio Threat at the Univer sity. Shortly after school had con vened, the university was publi cized by its polio threat. When a school teacher living at a uni versity girls' boarding house be came afflicted with the disease, 10 coeds were quarantined for several weeks. Papers thruout the nation carried the story. One southern paper, the Oklahoma University Daily to be. exact, even went so far es to say that school had been closed and all classes suspended. 10. Corn Cobs Charter. The men's pep organization ot the campus were given an innocu lation, one that lasted only several months, however, when their chai ter was revoked by a clever, important-acting Student council. Being made a personal footba'l at the hands of the Innocents and Student council, the Cobs finally emerged with a new charter which provided for a new method of of chosing its president and a new method of chosing its members. The latter has never been followed. In all, things happened at th-! University of Nebraska during 1937. Some events will hold his torical significance for years t come. Others will become only idle amusement to former student's looking back to their college days. STUDENTS TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, AWARD BY MARCH 1 (Continued from Page I.) and four research fellowships for the study of organic compounds containing arsenic and of anti malarials. There is also a fellow ship in the department of phil osophy and psychology and a number of scholarships open to students interested in business re search in the fields of business ad ministration and economics.

Chatting with genial Bob Huff man, local manager for the Lin coln Theater corporation brought lorth some Interesting observa tions.

Several University of Nebiaska geographers occupied important places on the program of the 24 th annual meeting of the National Council of Geography Teachers held at the Michigan Union on the campus of the University of Mich igan at Ann Arbor, Dec. 27 and 2S. Dr. Earl R. Lackey of Nebraska's geography department was presi dent of the national society and arranged the program. Other No braskans are prominent in the as sociation, Dr. Esther S. Anderson being a newly elected member of the executive committee and Dr. N. A. Bongstqn having served as president in 1920. Dr. Lackey is also an associate editor of the Journal of Geography, the organ ization's official monthly publica tion. For the first time, the program of the meeting was evolved about a central theme, "Researches Needed in the Teaching of Ueog raphy." Dr. Anderson led a gen eral discussion group; Frank R. Sorcnson, a graduate .student in geography and secondary educa tion, spoke on the subject, "Re searches Needed in Geography as Related to the Social Studies." Thomas Barton, who received his Ph.D. degree in geography here In 1035 and who in now on the staff of the Southern Illinois state nor mal university at Carbondale, 111., read a paper on "Researches Need ed In the Teaching of Commercial and Industrial Phases of Geog raphy in the High School." Research Neglected. Dr. Lackey, in reviewing the ac complishments of the geography teachers' meeting said that re search has been a badly neglected phase of teaching geography ,in high schools and the lower grades as well as in colleges and univer sities. Nebraska is one of the most progressive schools in the countrr in this respect, with several grad uate students under the sponsor- ship of Dr. Lackey doing research work in geography in education.
