PAGE FOUR THE DAILY NERRASKAN, THURSDAY. E.ABCH 10. 193ft Mirr fix Ll - X a 1 RY THE 11AUNTRESS ; " - RY THE HAUNTER This newly Installed creative thinking class is getting a bit out of hand, from what the grape vine channels tell us. First of all, was one suggestion hy Bob Dreibus, Sig Ep, who suggested a rubber hunting suit to shed the muck and moisture of a duck blind, further elaborated by Inflation to prevent drowning in case of a spill from the boat. Morris Lipp, SAM, advocated a black and white typewriter ribbon, the white portion of the type to be utilized for erasing of errors made in black. Tn a physics class this week, Fritz Almstead shed his coat, sat down in his chair, leaned back, emitted a strenuous stretch and yawn, and broke the back from his chair. Stunned, he looked about him for a moment. "Hmni. I must have been more tired than 1 thought," hcdrawled. Alpha Chi Omega pledges had a big evening Mont'ay as the y de serted the house early. Just as the actives were giving them up for gone, they returned and promptly immersed Theora Nye and Sally White for their lack of sweets, because of unrecognized engagements with Dick Fisher, Vi K A, and Bob King, Sigma Nu, respectively. Again we have that alliteration tieup Sigma Kappa and Kappa Sigma. This time it was an hour dance. The 60 minute fest found the gals a couple of leaps ahead of the H street boys. As each girl was introduced to her exchange danc ing partner, she was presented by her sister as "Gladys" So and So. She in turn would be known as "Gladys'' Some one else. Not until the evening was drawing nigh did the Kappa Sigs realize that the Sigma Kappa "glad eyes" were the result of the "Gladys" prank they had been pulling. As a mat ter of fact, Sigma Kappa has not even one "Gladys." When Ted Doyle, AGR gridder, proffered the traditional merchan dise with Harriet Stearns, Kye Owe, to their respective houses, the latter's house mother, Mrs. Prouty, was just one bound ahead of them. Following the candy circulation, the fond soror ity sponsor toted in a large wed ding cake, beset with miniature bride and groom. Did you notice Bob Gannon, Beta's best, out with DeLoris Bors, Alpha Chi and supposedly engaged, the other night? From a reliable source we learn that Bernie Johnston, Phi Psi, and Betty F.ay, of the Kappa Ray and Hay twins, will take a high dive into the sea of "steadiness" on March 26. Probably the date when the duplicate has her last dale. v Orval Hager, also Beta's best, Is now eligible to give a corre spondence course to Don Juan, for in rapid fire order a couple of days ago, a pair of queens, Mary Mullen and Alyce Blaufuss, claimed him as their own. Which it is, Hager has not admitted. JJiglifiglih On The truckin' that's been going on around this campus is getting terrific, and now we're no longer referring to that outmoded danc ing of last fall, but some of the transportation carried on by Evans laundry. Yes, one of our prominent Mortar Boards was delivered down town along with her laundry last Saturday via the back end of one of the shiny red Evans wagons. The driver, it happened, was a personal friend. Have heard ever so manv reo- ple remark what a fun party the Lambda Chi formal last Saturday night was. Their invitations were so clever and then Anna Mae Win burn's orchestra is a rare treat. Just found out, however, about a pin hanging deal that took place on that occasion. Tri Delt pledge, Ionian r;ooeris, and Jim Tisdale must have decided to strengthen their friendship with a jeweled Lambda Chi badge. Rumor has it that Kcnnie Teich, Chi Phi man n the uniform is about to pass the candy. It seems, that he has been trodding the wel come mat for some time now at some girl's house. Incidentally, we remarked about his uniform, be cause this girl is an army officer's daughter and is quite impressed with brass buttons, so Kennle spends just hours studying himself in the mirror in his monkey suit. This seems to be the season of the year for a dash of originality in parties. The Alpha Sigma Phi's sent around leis as invitations to their annual spring formal. ine bigma Chi pledges have something super cooked up. They're throwing a Bottle and Bucket Brawl Friday night, and all the girls are to wear very oldish clothes. But the big surprise will be the invitations which will be sent around by some mysterious method about a half hour before the escort arrives. A lot of things are going to happen this weekend, AGGRAVATIONS INGENUITY AWARD G racie Allen decided to make her own award to college students. While making "College Swing" for Para mount, she discovered that the smart students became Phi Beta Kappas and got all kinds of hon ors. She thought it was all wrong. Any smart boy can graduate from a university, she insisted, If his grades arc high enough. The de serving boy, in Graeic's opinion, is the ingenious one who gets his skin with low grades. So she Is award ing a bearskin as the Grade AHen Award for Ingenuity to the boy graduating with the lowest marks from an American college. MARTHA TILTON LITTLE RUT MIGHTY SOCIETY SPORTS NIGHT OF YEAR Mixed Groups Play Quoits, Pingpong, Volley Ball This Evening. "Fun for one, fun for all" is the slogan of the W. A. A. all-campus sports night to be held in Grant Memorial this evening from 7 to 8:30 o'clock. All members of the W. A. A., whether active or not, are invited j to attend the affair and bring I dates. It is not required that mem bers come in couples however since entertainment will be prranged in both single and group participa tion. Play Ping Pong, Quoits. All available floor space in the gym will be given over to games in which mixed groups and in dividuals will compete. Pingpong. volleyball, quoits and shuffle board are only a few of the games to be offered. Members of the W. A. A. council and sports board will as sist in running off the games. At the close of the sports events refreshments will be served to all attending. This is the first campus sport night to be held this year but in past years they have proved very successful. If the Fun night to night is successful several others will be scheduled later in the spring, according to Marie Ko touc, president of the W. A. A. General warning! Merle Peter son is on the loose with a hand ful of tickets for the Engineers spring party which is to be held next Friday night Anyone get ting in his path is advised to run at once because "Petey" is a super super salesman. New evidence has sprung up to confirm the old partnership of Beerman and Lickliter. At least they tiid not deny it when accused of going it co-operatively. 'Twas all said before witnesses too. Quite a stir was caused in bac teriology laboratory yesterday when Gertrude Blakcr announced the discovery of some new kind of bacteria. Her bid to fame soon disappeared when the professor wiped the finger prints off the lens of her microscope and told her to try again. What a shame. This college could use a little pub licity. Harly Dodd is rather worried about a date for the A. G. R. spring party, it is still over a i month away but you never can tell. So Harly is out prospecting for a date. Do't be alarmed it you see him in a new necktie or something. It is just additional bait to lure some hapless co-ed. Some of us were wondering why Tom Aitkin was driving a load of sheep around the campus the other day. We took a second look and saw that the one under the hat was Innocent Hedlund. Was Tom getting even or something? Something new to freshman and sophomores, (providing they are not sixth semester sophs is the A. T. O. Story Book Ball to be held Saturday night at the Corn husker ballroom. It will be the seventh one, the tradition starting in 1926. They first had the idea of having it every year, but then to make it more effective it was decided to give it once every two years. In 1926 the plate for the bids was made and it has been used ever since. That first year the bids were delivered in the same manner as this year, with the trumpeters going around from house to house in costume to present them. This custom gradu ally died out, and one year a freshman dressed in armor rode around on a motorcycle delivering them. However, since the revival of the trumpeters this year, the A. T. O's plan to keep this method. They first started off having decorations around the orchestra and then conceived the idea of the drapes for the walls of the ball room. The drapes which are eighty-two feet long were outlined by an artist and the members filled in the outlines with paint. The set of hangings depict story book scenes and characters. In 1932 there was a slide from the top of the stairs down to the floor which everyone had to go down in order to reach the ball room. It seems that Lawrence Elv, ...Martha Tilton, Benny Good man's sweetheart of swing woighs 90 pounds, is 5 feet l"s inches tall, and says she can swing with Benny Goodman 24 hours a day . . .

How successful they will be in having a college established does not nmv appear, but the fact that the stmlents are so eager to be. educated thatt hey are seeking a, college as a means to this end rep resents a high water mark for ambition. Slowly, but none the less surely, radio and moving pictures, pri, marily devices for entertainment, arc becoming better established as facilities for education. A couple of weeks ago the gen eral education board made avail able to the American council on. education a fund of about $125,000 to be used for a three year study of moving pictures in education. An official of the American coun cil, m an interview with this cor respondent, pointed out that the object of this particular study will not be to develop movies showing "how" to do something. The pur pose will be to develop educatiomil motion pictures that will portray the "why" of things. Another project to be finance! by the general education board is that of the actual production of educational movies. The Univer sity of Minnesota is the recipient of this grant pnd will, for exam- pie. make a movie showing ha various phases of life in the niedi. cal profession, the disadvantagi s as well as the advantages.
