THE DAILY NEBRASKAN. SUNDAY, i.iARCH 13, 1938.
BY THE HAUNTER:
There's something very special
and very big going to come off at
the Theta house very soon. How
soon, we cannot exactly say, but
It should be within the next two
weeks. Neither can we divulge
the exact nature of the thing, ex
cept that it is a new development
In a romance, either pro or con,
of one of the prominent members.
That is all for now.
Bill Hollister, ex-Awgwan mo
gul, had us all thinking he was
tripping the stuff at the Alpha
Sig hula party in his stocking
feet, but on closer inspection we
found that he was rushing the
spring (tra la) in white shoes.
Jane Walcott, Kappa, probably
came the nearest to the Godiva
costume last evening when she
turned up at the house, very late,
slioes in hand, crying, "I can't
find my costume." Her orie-inai
worry concerned the scantiness or
The harem garb which she was to
wear. But with the thing lost, her
concern turned from the immoral
ity of wearing It to the Immoral
ity of not wearing it.
ine Alpha Tails constructed a
slide on which all attending Ye
Mone isooke Bane were supposed
to enter, but we might say that a
few of the costumes would not
permit. And we mie-ht nlan re.
mark that a few attending did not
realize that their costume wrnnM
not withstand the slide until too
late.
Did vou ever see a dream walk
Ing? Yeah! But did you ever hear
or a coed who firmly stated that
she would rather romance in the
moonlight than attend a spring
TormaiT Well, we did, but we
can't tell her appellation.
Latest In the way of romances
is mat or Dick Kyan, Sigma Nu,
and Barby Rosewater, Alpha Xi.
Richard, in his quaint way, has
tenderly dubbed her "Hand lo
tion." He was sorely disgruntled
at the Alpha Xi Delta hour dance
Friday night, because "freres"
kept severing his dancing engage
ments with Miss Rosewater. VVoo
Woo!
BY THE HAUNTRESS
This outdoorsy weather does
the strangest things to people
Yesterday the whole Rag office
moved to the open spaces and you
really missed something if you
didn't see Barbara Rosewater bal
ancing a typewriter on a tree
stump, Merrill Englund chasing
about under the influence of spring
or Dick deBrown doing a tarzan
act on the fire escape so he could
get a better view of the country
side. Dorothy Van Patton has started
bringing her lunch to school to eat
under the shade of the old apple
tree, that is if she can find one
on the campus. And then Ruth
Thygeson may be found at her
daily tryst with a certain D. U.
wno studies (ij with her on
bench near U hall. Who would
think It just to look at him. but
Bob Gannon is an accomplished
tightrope walker and gets in most

be you would understand his sth
letic bent if you'd seen him at the
eia nurtet supper last Sunday
being carried around on tiny Jean
Newell's back.
Grant Thomas is already picnic
minded. Ask Ginny Anderson
about it. When he called for her
Friday r.ight, instead of going
straight to the Cornhusker for the
Alpha Sig party, he headed for
Pt-rin woods. On the way out there
seemed to be a bit of dissention
in the ranks. Ginny didn't relish
the idea of a romp in the woods
attired in a new spring formal
So they compromised. Grant prom
led to be civilized and go to the
formal if the grass didn't measure
two hands hich. More trouble fol
lowed when the measuring began,
because according to Ginny's two
hnnd, a picnic was in order, while

The Greek houses may look good
