AGE FOUR THE DAILY NEBRASKAN. SUNDAY. MAKC1I 20. 19.18. r t A rr IiV I I I K II UlM l.i: An Item just rolled in via Uncle Sn ni : Quote, PhuI "Ron Venito Chal leni" Mtinson, the PU slayer of all women, has closed another chapter of his innumerable pas sionate, palpitating romances. In this instance, the victim is a heart broken Alpha Chi Omega coed. When approached concerning this, Taul stales, "The reason for my latest parting is the fact that I cannot be fair to my admirers by loving only one. My college life has been nothing; but one of deep love affairs. 1 must play the field." Unquote. We ain't a sayin' it hanened, but it came to -iin. Last week when the University's Incandeacents went incompetent, all the students in geology lecture settled back for a slumber in the darkness of the room. But Pro fessor Lugn foiled the lads as he whipped out a flashlight and con tinued lecturing with the limited beam of his five-watter. Lugn is the essence of the RSA thought of her friend strung to the beams almost made her cry. In fart, she confessed she had sent him a dozen roses with a sympathy j card, which she hoped would cheer him up. Who has been telling Alpha Phi pledges such wicked tales? When Pwaine Uimprecht spied the suggestion in this column that he might look nice in rompers, he countered by sending your haiin trcss a telegram to the effect that he would blossom out in a pair if , yours truly would do likewise.1 This challenge definitely called for ' an answer in the form of a pair of i blue numbers sent by messenger boy to the law library Friday: night, aeocmpanied by the enclosed message, "1 double dare you." Pwaine, the sissy, sent them back in indignation. I Friday night at the pastry s-op found Betty Orine and a chum of ' hers wandering alxint from booth j to booth asking for contributions ' of foods. The cokes their dates had 1 ordered for them evidently failed ! to satisfy, but the collection they motto "be prepared. " Not only docs gathered was not too appealing - he carry a flashlight for such emergencies in the classroom, but also four hand lens and one roik hammer. Norman liordy, SAM s;-nt a tense evening last week while bis fcister awaited the arrival of her first born. When the young'n whs finally blessed evented, Bordy re ceived the call and was informed that mother and baby girl were loing nicely. The lad was so pleased that he sat up most of the night reverberating to himself the two words, "Uncle Norman. Uncle Norman. Uncle Norman." His frat freres, however, decided that since his new relative was a girl they should call him "Auntie Norman," so they do. A sequel to the Marian Bremer. Awful Fee, and Neal Felber. Delt Krpsilon, tale is that little Neal retaliated to Miss Brjmer's posies with a message, "Thanx, I think of you with every board I take!" . The little deal we piomised you at the Theta house is doing will and should break shortly. As the j situation in question has been de veloping, another, which may be more of surprise than the first, has been doing likewise. Thus for further details, go to your local Theta house at once with three box car tops or reasonable fac similes and gpt the lowdov.n. Friday in Poc Wimberly's mam moth Fngtish class, a Western Union boy flipped down the aisle and presented the tutor with a message, which everyone figured was for L. C. himself. Upon in spection, however, the Prairie Schooner pater discovered it was for Jane Walcott. Mortar Board. who sat in the bark row. All in the room hurst with curiosity as the Kappa excitedly raasled with the envelope, in which she knew Hot what she would find. Finally,, the taks don. she read, as some peered over her shoulder, "Just wondered how you were this morning Jane" and signed by one rt her Omaha admirers. Barbara Selleck's spontaneous laughter Signified to the class that the contents were not serious and the English business proceeded as Jone blushed on. HV TIIEII-UTNTKESS This week saw a candy passing at Bouton Hall when the presiden of the house, Elizabeth Mercer, and Dwayne Ewsam, newly elected president of the barb inter-club council, sent the sweets around to cinch their engagement. Tins was supplemented by a huge diamond ting. Tender-hearted Marian Bremers came round to us the other day with her tale of woe. It seems that the P. II. 's are doing the a-a-wfulest things to their pledges. First they tie them up on rafters "and then the whole active chapter throws things at the squirming sufferers. Marian felt dreadfully Sorry lor Neal Kelber and lust the one empty beer bottle, two dishes of catsup and a conglameration of paper napkins and cigarette stubs. The only one who took pity on the girls was Joe Stephens who do nated a plate of slightly stale shoe 1 strings, Lots of awfully funny things have been happening of late. Saw Adna Dobsyn massaging Gege Wallace's neck in the Drug last Friday and right out on Teachers college lawn, Barbara Selleck and Phi Pelt Bill Williams scuffling over the remains of a lighted cigarette. Wandered past Sosh and to our utter amazement strips of the campus were being plowed, , evidently in preparation for spring sowing. Another tale concerning Alpha Phi's was about Mary Lou Paly who arrived home from a supper date with Bill Steckleberg to find her date of the evening entering the house. Mary Lou and Bill made a hasty get-away via the back door. ee "No, I won't do it. I toll you I can't write." "How do you know you can't? Tour dad used to write detective stories for those dime magazines, didn't he? You're In the same fam ily, aren't you? Well why can't you write? And besides that. Mr. Gold wants you to do the column. He says he needs you. Aw come on, chum, (Pee Wee always calls me "chum" when he wants something) you can't afford to pass up a dollar and a half a week. I haven't had any bird seed for a week now and you don't look so well fed yourself." "No, Pee Wee, I can't do It Even if I could write the column, I wouldn't have time to run around every night trying to get the latest stuff. I know we need the money, but It's just too much for me to do." "Well," Pee Wee said, "do you think you would have time to write it if I furnished the news I usually fly around and look in all the spots just before 1 go to bed any way. It makes me sleep better. I should be able to get enough stuff, and you surely should be able to do the rest Ill take all responsibility for things you say. Just tell them you hear it from me. How about it, chum" And that's the way It all started. Pee Wee won out as usual, and here we are. How long we stay, we don't know. It probably depends on how many shirts and ties Mr. Gold sells. But it's too early to start work ing in commercials already. We're liable to lose the few curious readers that we may have accumulated so far. Better get down to some news. But before we do that, let me introduce you to Tee Wee, my pet English sparrow. We've been friends for quite a while now. He's quite bashful, and you seldom see him except when we're alone. But then he breaks down and usually has something pretty good to tell me. For example, his latest bit Is that Marie Sandoz is writing a new book. But more than that, he says it's going to be about college life in general and Nebraska college life in partic ular. I asked him how he found out all of this, and this is what he told me. You can take it for what it's worth. It seems that Tee Wee was making the rounds the other evening when he happened to look in the window at the Royal Grove. There sat Miss Sandoz with our own Professor Van don Bark, famous for his slang dictionary Pee Wee contends that it was quite obvious then and there that Miss Sandoz was learning some college slang for her college vocabulary. But not to be out done, were a few other campus satellites, namely Dick Paul, Jane Bell, Al Souders, "Squat" Landis, and others. Their main contribution seemed to be atmosphere Wee showing Miss Sandoz Just how college kids really act on their night out. It was quite late, and a week night too. Pee Wee couldn't figure out how the girls got in, but he guesses they must have a drag. Says maybe it's because the afore mentioned group expects to have the leading parts in the show if the book Is ever written and is ever published and Is ever bought and produced in the movies. Some people get all the breaks. And speaking of breaks, I'm afraid you gals will break my neck if I don't tell you about the swell Bradley Knits that they have just re ceived. They are either tailored or classic, and believe you me, they are strictly high class. Better drop into Gold's and look them over. You would probably hear more about these dresses but Tee Wee just brought in another little item. This one concerns Lynn "Poc" Thompson from the Delt house. This budding young M. P. appeared one morning wear ing his white lab coat, me ioiks Kiaaeu him about his garb until he decided to leave it in the Awgwan office. Now from the age of the customary Awgwan joke, it would seem that nothing has been seriously disturbed In there for pome number of years, and one could think of no safer place to check something. But this seemed to be an exception. Anyway, if you had walked past the south east corner of U Hall last Tuesday morning, you would have seen hanging from the roof a white body, with a paper sack for a head and a red feather in its cap. Oddly enough the corpse was wearing Thompson's lab coat. To make certain that he would find it, the prank sters had decorated it with a big sign. "Lynn 'Doc' Thompson '. To further complicate mat ters, a member of the dean's official staff saw the body with "Thompson" on it and immedi ately thought it referred to the dean himself. Janitors were rushed immediately to the scene, and lowered the dangling figure to the ground. Tee Wee says he knows who put it up there, Doc. Would you like to know ? If you had gotten one of those new Bush Jackets in Gold's men's department, you wouldn't have been a social outcast in the first place. It would have saved you a lot of trouble and you would really be well dressed. Pee Wee says he will tell you who pulled the trick if you go down and buy a Bush Jacket right away. Well, that's about all for now, but we will be seeing you every day from now on. Better watch out for Pee Wee or else stay out of trouble.
