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.

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.

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

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.

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

English business proceeded as

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.

"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.
