1 sec that that little sheet I was
talking about in Sunday's column
really did come out with an insinu
ation about a ghost writer. It be
ing the first time I had hear' of
such a publication I just let It
pass as one of those little papers
trying to become famous by tear
ing clown a big wig. The idea of
a two bit throw sheet making a
contradiction to a standing head in
the Daily Nebraskan irks me no
end. It also irks Editor Murray. I
don't know where they got the
name, Angus Nicoll, as the ghost
writer. If there is such a person
he probably isn't naturalized yet.
When these would-be journalists
make such reflections up about we
martyred society editors it is just
more than our delicate souls can
stand.
From time to time during the
semester I began to get a little
disgu&ted with this column just as
quite a number of readers did.
Then, just when I had hit a new
low, along comes one Mr. Klmer
Blaine, the farmboy philosopher,
who, in his letters to the editor put
a little breeze back into my sails.
Last Sunday Elmer came back
with a slightly different angle
which, in my book, is the best com
pliment he has dished out yet. In
his student pulse Elmer says that
the next best thing to Miss Meyers
"Around and About'' is this col
umn. He goes on to suggest that
I toddle over to the dean and offer
to give up the column in favor of
"Sarry." I didn't even stop to fig
ure out the psychology in that be
cause bracketing this corner with
those topnotch bits of wit and com
mon sense on page one, column one
Is enough for me. To be mentioned
with Sarah in the same sentence,
regardless of the connection is a
real compliment. Thanks, Elmer.
The little tale concerns three up
standing university students who
one evening long ago were whoop
ing it up and decided to start a
"holv roller" society. The three,
Bob" Thornton. Bill Beachlcy and
Bob Bookstrum, wasted no time
with preliminaries and whipped in
to the real thing. Thornton, being
the best singer, was unanimously
chosen choirmaster, Bookstrum
was elected preacher and Beachlcy
had to content himself with being
the sole member of the congrega
tion. His cries of hallelujah!,
mixed with the art of "rolling"
were the high spot of the meeting
and were loud enough to account
for the other members who it
seems were present only in spirit.
notebook and pencil, they set out
to have a little fun with the boys
and girls. At the T. P. they w n
dered from booth to booth, click
ing the camera and getting peo
ple's names, from there they
sauntered down to the ballroom
and practically disrupted the Al
pha Chi formal by gathering a
crowd of willing posers. These
publicity hounds!
Lorraine Lynn has been display
ing what looks mighty like a
Sigma Chi sweetheart pin, and
swears she's going to pass the
candy February 13 which is just
the day after her birthday. Before
you worry too ivich about what
Junior Hager will say, let me re
assure you that the pin happens j ver
to be Claire Hustead s brother pin.
Anything for excitement, don't you
know.
