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

Values of Observing
Ancestors' Work.
"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.

Surprise for Alpha O's.
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."

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

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

F. D. R. on 20 Times.
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

D. 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.
