PAGE FOUR THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1938. Is BY THE HAUNTER We wish to cite a slight cor rection from yesterday's column; only a slight one you understand. We didn't mean to say that the men In Wadham's party had bottle openers for "menus." It was sup posed to read "that there were beer openers for the 'men'." And Likewise, we meant that Elinor Hickel, PI Phi, was the first one to dance, not the first one "on the floor." Some people are too darned criti cal, we think. Mary Kline, Delta Gamma, of fered $10 for a man with red heair and dimples a couple of aays ago. With this In mind, the Chi Omegi.n have decided to dye one of their table boy's thatch, put him to bed on collar buttons and capitalize, When asked how he first de cided which Steuteville, Fern or Mary, he would date, Bev Finkle turned a bit cHmsoner around the gills. Not yet have we been able to disclose why. Let's make this one Impersonal. There was one lad on this campus and one lass who had dates with two other people. They wanted dates with each other. Thus they broke their dates with the other people and took dates with each other. Then the boy, upon whom the girl had broken the date, called the second girl, upon whom the boy had broken the date, and they had a date with each other, quite unconscious of what had gone on before. Hilario Saenz Writes Book of Spanish Plays Advance notice of the publishing of the book, "Easy Spanish Plays," edited by Hilario Saenz, a mem bar of the romance language fac ulty, has been given in the "His pana," national Spanish monthly magazine. The book, co-edited by Juan Cana of the University of Toronto and Mr. Sanez. Is to be released In March. Copies will be used at Nebraska. Gamma Nu's at the University of Oklahoma have an unwritten code that no girl may date a boy whom a sorority sister is already 'ating.

Your spook was in a hurry so she gulped and said she had heard that one and every other one he could think of and right then it dawned that the hatchet wasn't being of much help, so we've reverted to a shovel or whatever a hauntress uses on her haunts about the campus. t In the first place, found out that what Ed Steeves told you about Ace Rawalt from the Sig Ep house wasn't quite on the up and up, as Vern was only trying to drum up a little sympathy by wearing anothw fella's pin for awhile. And on one of our better haunts about fraternity row we stopped long enough at the Phi Gam house to notice that one of the more eligibles at that house has defi nitely checked off the foot loose list, and he, my friends, is no less than Clem Waldron. Doty Doll at the Trl Delt domicile being the gal responsible. Gean Miller, Gimme Five Beta's, and a pledge at that, has pretty well looked over the Delt house, but evidently likes the scenery at the Sig Ep house a little better for a steady diet. Just now she's giv ing Bill Diers quite a look-in, with now and then a glance in Howard Cowlinshaw's direction. . A pretty much anticipated candy passing took place at the Phi Mu house Monday night. Victor Carter and Eleanor Kelly, Fi Mew, presi dent, sent the calories around. An nouncement was made via a phonograph record in which the music was interrupted by a news flash a la Carter. Nice Work! Not so very long a;o, Jim Min nich took quite a ribbing from the actives when he arrived at the Acacia house one night pretty well besmeared with lipstick and muttered something about having studied at the library. The gal in that case was Alpha Chi pledge, Phyllis Long, who If reports are Yorittfind MORE Kjhesterfields milder Co. true is about to narrow her chances down to Wendell Niche, also. Acacia. In fact, rumor even has it that those two have been two-soming it for a fortnight now. Looks to us like Acacia pledges are always getting mixed up with lipstick somehow or other. People are still talking about what went on at the' D. U. house last Saturday night. Their house was so crowded with convention ers that the Delta Oops decided to keep it a closed affair. Anyhow, Jack Gellatcly, Delt active, turned up and some unsuspecting soul went over and congratulated him on pledging D. U., which was about the payoff, so he picked up and left. Can't remember just what it was he picked up though. Sig Ep pledge, Al Novak, stu dious, bookworm type, definitely put several Phi Mu's on the spot at their last hour dance. He was detailed to fix a switch or tome thing on second floor and one of the gals said she would buzz up.' the buzzer worked not, so Novak taxied up anyway, without a word of warning.

Crashes Zephyrs, Stalks of Corn Your Prom Girl (Continued from rage 1.) gaping audience. Author of this brainstorm offered only one hint as to how this theme might be carried out. At the end of his manuscript he wrote: "Mist for the scene may be obtained by piping steam from the university central heating system." Other students suggested that the prom girl be unveiled like a statue, plucked from the heart of an enormous rose, or lowered from an enormous glass of champagne in the midst of bubble-like balloons. "The plan we have chosen Is more original and sophisticated than any of these, we believe," Steeves declared. PLEASURE 0 j " ' . '-; V yr:- . ' :'Y. 7 SEEN ON AG CAMPUS By Bob Rupp. Ruth Ann Sheldon and Lola Burke weren't the only ones who had troubles at the party last Fri day night. Eyelyn Millett and Hattle Canada had plenty of woe and stuff. Their car stalled on 33rd after the dance and Evelyn had to walk clear up to 3225 Holdrege to get her cousin out of bed and have him come down and fix it because the girls ultra femi nine dates didn't Know anything about horrid old greasey cars. "Arnold Carlson has a special liking for red hair." Just why or for what reasons or how come I don't know. All I know is that a certain somebody wanted that put in the Rag in exactly those words, no more, no less. And who am I to quibble. Montce Baker, one of the smarter men on the campus, has been seen around with Jean Burr, the Dean's daughter, quite a little here-o-late. Montee escorted Jean to the ag campus party a week or so back and then Jean escorted Montee to the leapyear party Friday night and then Montee escorted Jean to the basketball game Saturday night and then I stayed home Sun day night so I don't know what happened but anyhow looks like another romance in the offing. Marion Starlin has gathered her knitting and things around her and has settled down for a long lonely week of doing nothing. The reason Arnold Reed is practice teaching- In Waverly and will be gone for five whole days. Aw, gee, ain't it a horrible, cruel, lonely world, Marion?

" l II I M 111" I Hrt letter taste Coeds of Illinois Cry Three Times As Often as Men URBANA, 111. (ACP). Maybe "recovery" has had something to do with it, but Prof. Paul Young of the University of Illinois, psy chology department announces that this world is, at least, for college students, far from a vale of tears. Research conducted among stu dents at Illinois indicate that laughter is 400 times more preva lent than weeping. Professor Young's conclusions were that collegians take down their hair and cry less than once in every 20 days but laug.. more than 20 times every day. Women weep three times as often as men but their funny bones are not tickled as often. Weeping is caused 80 to 90 per cent of the time by environment. Laughter is caused 98 percent of the time by social contacts. The chief cause of joy or gloom among students is class grades. Letters received or not re ceivedranked second. Especially letters containing checks from home. Dates, however, were relegated to tenth place among the sources of cheer. Book Reviewer Tells Coeds To Follow Interests In Book Choices. "Don't be a slave to the best sellers, but follow your own inter ests and the authors that you like when choosing your books," was the advice that Mrs. Roy Green gave coeds at charm school last night at the session devoted to the relation of reading to a charming and cultured personality. Mrs. Green is a prominent Lincoln book reviewer and book authority. Mrs. Green continued to say that no person can tell anyone else what he ought to read, that every individual needs and prefers dif ferent books. She pointed out that in an age when all persons can not do the work which is of the most interest to them, reading gains an added importance for the abundant living. Among the readings wMch Mrs. Green suggested for college girls were Dorothy Canfield Fisher's "The Bent Twig," "An American Idyll," by Cornelia Parker, "The Soul of China," by Richard Wil helm, "The Great Wall Crumbles," by Grover Clark, and a book which every Nebraskan ought to have, "The Great Plains," by Prescott Webb. . . . and when you land on Chesterfields you find the three points of smoking pleasure... all you look for in a cigarette MILDNESS that's refreshing TASTE that smokers like AROMA that makes you down' right hungry for a smoke. OiL thi OJjL By Norman Harris. Columbia Broadcasting system microphones boast of having been everywhere. . . and they live up to their boast. . . During the recent ice jam at Niagara Falls, which buckled the international bridge, CBS was there to broadcast. . . Columbia mikes carried the thrill ing stories of rescues and the tear ful tales of disaster as the mighty Ohio and Mississippi surged over their banks during 1937. . . The microphones of CBS have carried the descriptions of activities aboard submarines (submerged at the time), over the country, from Pearl harbor, Honolulu. . . They have been placed far below the earth's surface to broadcast cos mic rays and mine disasters, or to bring over the air the sound of dynamite explosions on important public projects, such as the Chi cago sanitary district tunnel. These microphones are wander ers too, for they have sailed to Peru and trekked thru the moun tain ranges to catch the last full total eclipse of the sun. . . H. V. Kaltenborn has taken mikes to the Spanish civil war frontier, , . and the coronation broadcast was heard over Columbia mikes, among others. CBS mikes went to the Antarc tic with Byrd (-74 degrees). . . they have been close to the heat of Cleveland's roaring blast fur naces, and have picked up the sound of eggs being fried in the streets of Boston on a hot summer day. . .
