PAGE FOUR THE DAILY NEBKASKAN, TUESDAY. MAKCH 22. 1938 U If : BV TllE HAUMTKESS I We've heard of people saved by the bell, but the narrowest escape happened this weekend. George Binger handed his Sigrna Chi pledge button to his date one night, and just as she was about to burst out with "Don't be a fool," or "Do you think you should?" or some thing to that effect, he requested her to fasten it In his lapel. For Pat's information, we might sug gest that people don't hang their pledge pins. In the Tri Delt hallway is a penny bank that's pretty well padded if rattles don't deceive us end with the bank is a note, "If you want to make me happy, please contribute to send we to Wcntworth." From all appear ances we should say that It's some of Betty Ann Patton's work. She's wearing Leslie Lovercheck's pin, you know, and has probably been invited down for a hop. A varia tion of the old theme of the coed working her way through college. Helen Abel, Alpha Phi pledge who packs a whallop In the form of a yellow roadster which is noth ing to be considered lightly, has been pretty much occupied of late with a tall, dark and handsome (name not known at present) man. He calls her Jitters, but does con cede that at least she has a lot of rhythm, From the looks of things around here, we'd say that a lot of people went to Omaha this weekend. The Kappa Slg's for one, were having quite a little party of their own on the top floor of the Blackstone hotel. We do know that they served breakfast in the wee small hours, which is getting to be quite the rage in that fair city. At the Sigma Nu initiation house party Saturday night ar rangements were made for one well lighted room to dance in and one dark room, which was far more popular. Somehow or other it smacked of the Sigma Chi blue room, which is more appropriately spelled with a "w." The public address system which the Sigma Nu's used for the party was left at the house Sunday so the boys hauled it out on the front lawn and kept fraternity row pretty much in swing music all afternoon. One Theta leaned out the window for about three min utes, waiting for a circus parade. AGGRAVATIONS Lowly cow scores again. Says Marjorie Fye: "I don't mind keep ing other girls away from Jimmy Saunders, but when it comes to running competition to a bunch of cows I get plenty griped." The Farmers Fair Indoor show must be going to be a real knock out because even the committee was laughing just thinking of how Max Brown and the rest of the pony chorus would look, swinging it in slightly abbreviated skirts. It sort of looks as tho we have another one of those triangles springing up. Bill Hartnell and Betty Deitz, A. O. Pi., go into a very interested conference each morning before Botany class. A little bird spread the rumor that Rodney Martin does not like it at all. The A. O. R. pledges were cer tainly a sleepy looking bunch at their Monday morning classes. Do you suppose they put in a lot of time studying? Mclvln Beerman and Lois Lich liter passed the Havanas and sweets Saturday night to their friends at the cafteria fun feed. It didn't surprise anyone, tho. Every one wag Just waiting until they made up their minds to make it public. The coming of spring has brought the flirtation of Vinton Hester and Mnrjorle Douglas to a head. To be trtuhful there is quit ome love njixed up in their f ela tion a. Don Magdnnr must be getting really serious with Nlla Spader since he has started polishing the apple with her pater. It happened thus: Don was working in the meats lab when Mr. Spader came In to buy some meat of some sort. Don bustled around, picking out the rhnice cuts of meat for him. Did It do any good, Don? I wonder if there is any truth in the rumor that Jocko Tomich and Orln "Cassanova" Marcy stayed at the A. O. Pi. hour dance until 11:30. There must be something In that old saying about new pas tures. Alio Crowley is wondering who the A. G. R. is that called the Voc-ed office to find out the in side dope on rhyllls Burgess. It is a good thing that the A. G. Jt. hell week ended when it did. Dorothy Dold was really worried because she thought Bob Cornelius wouldn't be able to see her for a long, long time. "Today a sehol Is made known by its athletic teams. Eve;, in our own time we have seen great uni versities grow as the result of suc cessful athletic teams. This is the condition existing today, and a wise school will take advantage of It." The ultra-practical editor of the St. Thomas College Aquinas believes In making hay while the UUUc stars thine. . AJy ' "l i ft BY THE HAUNTER Comes the spring and a young man's love turns fancy and all that and Keith Baird, Dclt, has just severed his steady social relations with his Pi Phi friends for the sake of Elma Ruth Lallman, Alpha Xi Delt. Tis said that this young lad has been haunting the latter house for many months, but has Just now settled down to the real business of dating Miss Lallman. Wc have on good authority that one of the girls who recently pro ferrcd the sweets at the Kappa Delt lair is, even now, going steady with one back home, to whom this recent pin hanging is unknown. Incidentally, he still hasn't gotten the dime out of those scales. During the Sigma Kappa hell week, all pledges were required to wear some college Joe's underwear shorts. And what's more, they were required to get them from some boy on their own initiative. One fern borrowed a classy pair from a Kappa Sig. With the clos ing of the "health week," this girl (call her Betty) starched the gar ment to unsurpassable stiffness, placed it in a box along with some home made cookies, and sent it back. George Svoboda, Sig Nu, is spending the after hours arbitrat ing between Louise Mackey and Mary Marnell, both Theta's and bosom friends. What's that old adage about burning the tallow stick at both ends? Like kids playing "migs" and woodland woo pitching, another true sign of spring was ' Mose man, Bob Simmons, Jarn. .Valcott, Ruth Green, Genevive Bennett and other holding their student union board on the green, but none too sanitary campus. Arnle Levin, ex-campus dictator from the Sammle shanty, kept a chosen few well amused Saturday night by demonstrating the value of a Phi Beta Kappa key for cleaning finger nails. The omnipresent Tanton and Gordon Haney, Kappa Sigs, and Edle and Ruth Huston, Chi O's, are probably the essences of low ness In Tjathflndine- for on th.-ir week-end trip to Nebraska's only metropolis iney arove mm wanoo both ways and unintentionally. As per annually the Alpha Chi Omega table boys picked their one and only girl. This year they chose DeLoris Bors and with due festiv ities. Their announcement came in the form of a candy passing ac companied by one dainty ring for her customary fourth finger. Those who chose her as tops were Gene Walters, Myron Grltt, Frank Griffin and Gene Zuspann. To the house mother they also gave a token, which was a hand towel, on which was inscribed "We wash our hands of all Alpha Chls, except Deloris Bors." With the gentle, but firm, breeze came the oderiferous scent last night, which provoked not only melodic battles of slander between the Pi Phi's and Phi Psi's, but also a call. Howard Marshall to Sam Francis. Marshall, only a frosh, complained severely to Sam about the stench ami Insisted he take care of the situation right away.

Every member is requested to be present, since the business to be taken up will in clude plans for initiation services to be held in the near future. Editorial headline from a college paper: "Are We All Turtles?" Student advertising a University of Michigan play production pick eted the local cinemansion to ad vertise their own play. "Aw, Pee Wee, we can't use that. I already have all the people I mentioned yesterday mad at me. Please let me keep some of my friends." "Thtt only proves that some one reads tho column. That's a good sign. Gold's will be glad to hear it. And besides, this is too good to keep. Eveiybody wants to know about T. N. E." So Pee Wee won out again and here we are, making more enemies before we have had time to make pea.ee with the others. And here it might be well to explain that Pee Wee gives me this information only on the condition that it be used in the spirit of good clean fun. We both hope that it is received in the same spirit and no one gets too mad. It step on a few toes to get copy that people will read so that we can work in our commercials and tell you about the fine new things in Gold's store. And now about T. N. E. This ultra secret organization of good drinkers and super sidewalk painters is a sub ject for many discussions on the cam pus. They have a reputation for being plenty tight lipped about their activities and their membership is all a secret. Well. Pee Wee found out a little informa tion that should be of interest to many of you outsiders. First, you who have been curious about their meetings might drop around at the Grand Hotel at noon today. Pee Wee says they're scheduled to meet there, and I wouldn't doubt his word. Of course if any of the mem bers should by chance read this, there will probably be a hurry up change in meeting time and place, but at the time of this writing Pee Wee says it will be there, so there. Before we tell you more, supposing we tell you about the fine new arrangement you will find at Gold's. They have taken the trouble S'r If!

Guffey, the man who kidnaped 2,000,000 votes from the Republicans in '36, made one man Speaker of the House, another Majority Leader. What sort of man is boss "Joe" Guffey? How did he rise to power? Will he keep It? With him-or even wlthout-will his "organization for service" dominate the party's convention In 1940?

They are especial ly grouped with a coat and a pair of slacks to go with it. You can get both for only 514.70. And now for more about, our guests of today. Pee Wee says he could tell the names of the officers and most of the members but that will not be necessary. He thinks that might be a tip for the dean and he couldn't stand for that. He also says that I can find out for myself who they are by just keeping track of the names of the fellows who com plain about this article. It seems, however, that With closest scru tiny we cannot find a constitution of this organization registered with the Student Council. Can it be possible that the Council is not aware of the ex istence of the group, or is it true that as T. N. E. claims, they wield enough political power on this campus to keep off the records. That is one that Pee Wee can't answer. Can you? But he can answer the question of the best looking new dresses in town. Every one is new and every one is different. So dif ferent, in fact, that each one has a specif 1 name. Drop Into Gold's, girls, and ask to see the new Dorsa dresses. They're really honies. And that's about all for today, boys and girls. Better be good and watch out for Pee Wee, especially you sidewalk-painters-in-the-darkers. Panned hy 'nfo a n X V Ki, tt -is.
