It's beginning to look like It's nice work If you can get It. Right now I'm talking Rbout the various and .sundry pieces of fraternity jewelry and such the gals have taken over during vacation. Hard ware, it's called on some campuses, but here it's still the little ole fra ternity pin. There are a few pin hanging's, randy passings, etc., that escaped notice yesterday, but only because 1 ran out of paper. For instance, there were the sweets that went the rounds at the VI I'hi house Monday night. Paul Heiehstadt whs the donor nnd it was all for the sake of little Helen Fox, who's had his pin for some time now. The candy was done up in RoUi and black ribbons, the Sigma Nu colors, and wine and that serious, but maybe so, maybe so. The trouble at the Theta house Is that the actives are all griped because, the pledges have collected so many pins. Just late ly, however, I should say that some of the older girls have been making up for lost time. Three's a Crowd. Then there's that long list of people who have decided to juut go steady for awhile. Lois l)ie trich at the Tri Melt house sur prised everyone last night by an nouncing that she's been going steady for almost a month with 1'hl Gam, Ed Melchoir. Lois Harp ster, A.

"If man would have transmitted everything that has gone before, we would have a greater empire than will ever be built." said Rev. Paul J. Johnston, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church, In an address, "Traditions of the Good Life," at the Y. W. C. A. ves per service, Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Johnston pointed out that the world's greatest detriment to day is that the people are turn ing their backs to what heir an cestors did and to what has gone before them. "I believe we should take the knowledge transmitted from the past because In this sifted knowledge we will attain wis dom. If we would listen to the lessons of the past, vc would know wisdom." stated the speaker. Rev. Johnston will leave soon to assume duties at a pastorate in the east.

When we heard the O. V.'s it earning down sorority row in pro cession Monday night, we hardly knew their destination, but it hap pened to be the A. O. PI house. It seems that Doris Smith and Bill Dugan have been that way about each other for no little while now, and though she might have had his pin before, it must have been most ly under cover until New Years Eve, when it was fastened very near her own Greek letters. Any how, a rather hasty candy pas sing ensued, and were the Alpha O's surprised? The Theta's were lather expect ing Kitty Adams and Dick Kosman to come across Monday night. There was a special significance to the date as those two have been seen hither and yon together for AS JOHNNY SEES IT. We overheard a couple of stu dents, a boy and a girl, yesterday morning talking about the Daily Nebraskan. They were discussing that cheerful greeting for a happy New Year from the Nebraskan which appeared directly above the not so cheerful examination sched ule on page 1. Said the girl: "It must have been a coincidence be-1 cause I don't think anyone on the ' Nebraskan staff is that subtle." j We didn't wait for the reply. We ; had had enough. We know darn well that there Is nobody that subtle on the Nebraskan staff. And that isn't all either now we know who the two people are who read the "rag." In Monday's paper, "As Mary Anna Sees It" printed a disguised list of those coeds who are out of two years now.

Columbia recognized two of Its member stations for the parts they nlavcd in two emergencies during the year just past. The Columbia Medal for Distinguished Service to Radio for 1937 went to the Courier Journal station. WHAS in Louis ville, Kv., for the major role it p la veil "alleviating suffering caused by floods which Inundated a great portion of the midwest in the early part of the year." The station in the Blue Grass country was on 24 hour service while the water raged thru the streets of Louisville providing the only means of communication between the stricken city and the out side world. Amelia Earhart's dis appearance in the Pacific ocean was the event which .brought re cognition to KGM15, Honolulu.

The nrcsident of the States called upon radio 20 times during 1937. Sometimes il was merely to broadcast ceremonies connected with h dedication, hut more often it was to lay new gov eminent policies before the peo ple. Labor problems were unusually pressing. Both sides of the eon troversy were heard In f7 talks on the Columbia network. The supreme court dispute was discussed hv 71 speakers, from the president to persons picked nt random on the streets. Three hundred broadcasts that originated on foreign soil were heard In the United States thru CBS facilities. The coronation of King George T was described and the new monarch heard in making responses during the .ceremonies and again in a formal address at their conclusion. This was the first time that a radio broadcast had ever been made of an English cor onation ns the wireless instrument had not been invented in 1910 when George V was crowned. Another king, Farouk 1, wns crowned, and Americans listened to the ceremonies and rejoicing in Cairo, Egypt. Word was received by Dr. W. II. Werkmeister of the pnilosopny fac ulty that his two articles on logi cal' positivism have been translated and will be published soon in Our World, official journal of natural philosophy in Germany.

G.'s Get Their Men Was talking to Wilma Comstock nnd it seems that when her pledge class got together for a reunion recently, there were only three in the crowd who hadn't anchored pins. Virginia Lea's was the most recent of only about a week's standing, though she and Sigma Nu, Everett Deger have been steadying it yars and yurs, if 1 re member right. Martha Beghtol, Theta, and Don Bellamy have been dating no one else since the beginning of Christ mas vacation, and Hazel Law rence, Gamma Phi pledge, nnd one of the Sturdevant twins decided way last month that three was n crowd. A Good Blind Date. Most of us haven't much faith , left in blind dates, but Dorothy Moulton, Alpha Chi, met her pres ent one nnd only on one. He's , Jack Davis, Phi Dclt, and a brother of Esther Davis, one. of the Alpha Chi pledges, so it's all pretty much in the family. They've been going together about four weeks now, and they say that there's a pin in volved, but I nlso know that right now it's back on Jack's vest, where it probably won't stay for long. 1 also happened to know about Joe Henske, an Omaha flash from Hill school, drove down to Lincoln for a date with Townley's Jane Walcott once. That, perhaps was all right, but what I enn't under stand is why he parked in front of the Pi Phi house unless it was for Rita Alger to be sure and see all. Well, if she didn't, there were plenty of "friends" to inform her. The Chi O house looks almost like a jeweler's now. It's no won der they're bothered with burglars. Did you know that ten of the girls received lockets for Christmas? All of them were crested, and all from fellows. Then, too, 1 suppose I should mention Marg Munger's diamond given her by Pi K. A. Woodie Berge. And that Is about the end of today's story. Another Delta Gamma who's strutting a brand new Sigma Nu sweetheart pin is Mary Margaret Maley. I hear from the girls in her sewing circle, that she has al ready selected her silverware, so it looks like that's one pin that won't bounce back to its owner very suddenly. Oh, and did you know that Martha Montgomery, also from 400 Uni tenuce, now displays a Phi Psl pin that once was worn by George Vieragc, but probably won't be ngain? It looks like the real thing this time too, because if all runs smoothly until next fall, they plan to be married, I've hoard. Cooking's More Practical. It's also rumored that Marjorie Misch, A. O. Pi, suddenly quit school to learn to cook. I couldn't say whether she left school or not, but I do know that she has an nexed Bob Dickman's Fiji pin, and If I know much about fraternity jewelry, a Phi Gam pin covers a lot of territory. But I mustn't forget to tell you about Pat Byers. She's wearing a Thl Psi pin that belongs to Bert someone or other. This has been In the offing for quite some time now, but Pat was just waiting un til she replaced the. Theta pin slu lost. So right after Christmas, she had the two chained together, and a chain, you know, is as strong as its weakest link. Tills Is just more gossip, but the Pi Phi's tell me that when the Sigma Nu's were over Monday night for the Fox-Relchstadt cele bration, they all expected the boys to migrate over to the Theta house to round out the evening. They seemed to think that Virginia Smith, pledge, and Paul Wcrtz would be soon treating the gals to calorics. I don't think It's quite land college. Before they reached, their destination the car broke down and they were forced to spend the night some place be tween here and Bloomington. When they arrived home the next day the whole town was a-titter waiting to sec the newly-weds. They tell me the parents con ferred blessings on them before the gal had a chance to explain. She spent a very pleasant vaca tion assuring the townfolk that she definitely was not hitched. Now she has it all to go thru ngain in Lincoln. Those boys who arc "in the know" will probably need double reassuring that she is still in the market. SUvll and. Stuff! BY DEAN POHLENZ.
