B' THE HAUMEIl
DELTA TAU DELTA.
The Delta Thus are just one
more bunch of boys that has a
fraternity within a fraternity. The
Inner group is known as the S.
O. L. frat. The meaning, so they
say. is the indispensable group
who have been minimized by
males' menace, better known as
women. Thoy have their head
quarters and their activities, the
last of which was a serenade with
orchestral accompaniment. We
know of no better way to avenge
a female's wrong than by a
serenade.
Their only worry is how will they
Justify dates at their spring
picnics?
.
Another Tri Delt story is that of
Maryanna who was taken to dance
at Omaha's Music Box by Boh
McCampbell. But. as Mother Hub
bard goes, when they got there,
the wallet was hare, and we don't
know where they went from there.
Call it publicity if you will, but
there is no other fraternity that
can boast of having four cage
players on the varsity court simul
taneously as the Delts. The quar
tet is Floyd Ebausrh, Paul "Legs"
Amen, Dow Wilson and Bob Tar
sons. A follow up on Wilson tells of
the time, while returning from a
B team basketball trip, he and
his buddies had a flat tire, of the
rubber variety, just north of Au
rora. Four maplesters Eruce
Campbell, Sigma Nu; Bob Elliott,
Sig Ep; Ray Baxter, barb; and
Wilson hailed a car. A lone driver
stopped and Dow suggested to
' Campbell that they take him by
surprise. The two ran up to the
car and swung both doors of the
coupe open simultaneously.
The driver, frightened into rig
idity, pleaded, "I don't have any
monev! What do you want me to
do? i don't have any , money?"
Anyway it would have been
' funny if you had been there.
BY THE HAUNTKESS
Wandered past the Phi Delt j
house yesterday, and who should I
be sitting on the curb chatting
away and oblivious to passersby
but Bob Reddish and Millie Wekes-
ser who beat a path between the
Theta and A. T. O. house that is
being taken up by others in those
houses. In fact. Jigger Glass is al
' most to the point of admitting
that Frannic Goodwin is his true
love instead of his boats.
Just one more good bet at the
Theta house out of circulation
after Monday night's sweets and
stogies treat, and just a few sjiort
months ago a diamond on the hand
of pledge, Virginia Smith, and this
from a man at home. Now she's
rooting for Sigma Nu in no uncer
tain terms.
Hadn't ncccssarly made up my
mind to write about Theta's today
but couldn't pass up the chance to
remark about pledge, Marie An
derson's recent conquest at the
Beta house. Lob Pillsbury is the
stricken young man, so don't ex
pect to see those two free lancing
for some time now. All of which
just goes to lessen the once
lengthy list of the foot loose
aroun.: and about this here place.
Looks like the ground hog really
proved his salt, cause the spring
time is the time for well, almost
anything.
Heard on rather doubtful au
thority that Delt Dow Wilson and
Lucile Anderson might go the way
of all Theta pledges, and single
time it for a while. It's a shame to
waste such wonderful dancing on
one person, tho. So why don't
fcome of the rest of you try to bat
.in that league? (Two bits Oolie
won't speak to me today.)
As one of the gals who knew
hlrn in high school remarked, Bob
Martin is certainly looking a little
moth-eaten these days. When she
last knew him he was quite the
man. Could collitch life be doin
this to him? or maybe it's S:g
Alph violets you know.
Anil speaking of violets reminds
me that one night last weekend we
stopped to talk to Janet I-au, and
someone asked her whom she was
waiting for. "Oh, the spook." was
her replv. and Just then up walked
Web Mills.
Wagers are running hirh about
who the next prom girl will be. So
now'a the chance to put In your bid
for a few good odds. I've heard
that quite a number of juniors are
filing this year, which is contrary
to all custom, but possibly a good
Idea.
Just r.m't seem to keep "get-sround-Tanton's"
name out of the
f-aper.
It seems he was taking a fiii-d
exam. He rushed to the scena
early and distributed one stick of
his chicle wares, gum to you and
nie, on each desk, except the
profs. There he placed two. Upon
the board he wrote. "THE LAST
WORD IN GUM IS BEECHNUT."
When the tutor entered the
room he announced, "I'm sorry,
but Me exam will be upstairs In
room 303."
When the class arrived at that
chamber they found Tanton already
there with the words, "THE LAST
WORD IN GUM IS STILL
BEECHNUT," written upon the
blackboard.

;MRS. MiNTEER SPEAKS
Students Hear Discussion
Of 'Voice Culture'
Tuesday Night.
"Americans have been severely
criticized by Europeans because of
their harsh, uncultured voices,"
Mrs. C. C. Mlnteer told members
of Charm Scliool last night at
the session devoted to the topic
of "Voice Culture." "A soft, well
modulated voice is the surest and
quickest indication . of good
breeding and culture," Mrs. Min
teer went on to say.
Among the "don'ts" that Mrs.
Mintc-cr asked the coeds to ob
serve in their speech were talking
noisily, too -rapidly, mumbling,
using harsh nasal sounds, and
boisterous laughter. Rapidity in
speech, according to the speaker,
leads to indistinctness, which in
turn leads to' monotony.
In the second part of her talk,
Mrs. Minted- described correct in
vitation forms and the proper an
swers to invitations. She discussed
both formal and Informal invita
tions and replies, wedding invita
tions, and especially the use of
the visiting card as invitation and
answer.

Table Manners Unimportant.
Frequent kissing of the wife by
the husband is another sign of a
happy family. So is agreement on
intimate relations.
Agreement concerning friends
and dealing with relatives also has
a high correlation with marriage
success. Relatively unimportant to

cant facts in the background of the
successful couples.
Likely to have a happy marriage
is the person whose parents have
been happy. Contrary to the gen
eral belief, the more strongly the
husband and wife are attached to
their parents, the more likely they
are to be happy in marriage.
An only or youngest child is a
poor risk unless married to an old-,
est or middle cliild. Most success
ful mating is that of an oldest
child with another oldest child.
Chances of success are greater if
an individual nWries another of
similar family background, A per
son is a good marriage risk if he
or she attended Sunday school
after the age of 10, better if he is
still attending. Also a good catch
is a person who is a member of
three or more good organizations.
More important than the size of
income is its regularity and the
nature of the occupation of a man
for whom a girl sets her cap. The
girl who worked before marriage
is a much better risk than one who
has not. A teacher or skilled work--er
is likely to make a good wife.
But swains should shun the girl
who has changed jobs frequently.

to be successful. Optimism periods
are five or more years' acquaint
ance, three to five years' courtship
and' at least two years' engage
ment. Marriages of affection and com
panionship are likely on the av
erage to be more successful than
those of infatuation and romance.
Infatuation does not necessarily
indicate a satisfactory sexual ad
justment atfer marriage.
Desire for children is a happy
augury. But, paradoxically, after
children have come, married per
sons are less happy than befuie.
Presence of undesired children is
extremely unfavorable to marital
happiness.
Reviewing his findings, Profes
sor Burgess declared they furnish
ed "conclusive evidence that by
the use of statistical techniques,
prediction of success or failure in
marriage is feasible, in terms, to
be sure not of the individual cou
ple hut of the group into which the
couple falls." Observing that suc
cess in marriage "now depends
more than ever before upon the
findings of research in the psy
chological and social sciences," he
proposed establishment of a Mar
riage Adjustment Research Insti
tute to develop even more reliable
methods of prediction.
