THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1938
BY THE HAUNTER
We understand the Sigma Alpha
Mus have finally turned socialists,
in the narrowest sense of the
word. Perhaps it was their Bavar
ian beverage party last weekend
that snapped them into social in
somnia. Hank Greenberger, Grand Is--land,
gave the lads a jolt by sewing
the smokes among the brothers in
behalf of his engagement to Shir
ley Abramson nf Minnesota U.
Now that he's done it, there must
be no true women haters -left.
Also in that house is Irv Zvcitel,
president, who has sneaked out
of law school hibernation and into
love; love with Babe Perelman,
Sigma Delta Tau pledge. Monday
he made 6 consecutive phone calls.
Boy is he a "phony."
At an Alpha Chi hour dance not
so long ago, a gal had been dancing
with her partner for quite some
time when flic realized that she
had not been introduced.
"I'm Shirley Green," she ap
proached. "Oh, no you aren't." retorted the
chap, and kept on dancing.
There seem to be a couple of
livestock sequels on the campus.
At the Alpha Sig house, a feller
went to bed one night and noticed
the bed was especially warm, but
merely supposed that his room
mate had beat him to the hay. Not
until morning did he discover that
one of the boys had smuggled a
huge great dane hound into his
bunk, thus explaining the comfort
able temperature the night before.
At the Sigma Nu house a
chicken was used in some of the
festivities last week. During its
off hours, the fowl was stored in
a bed in the dorm. The thing has
now become a menace since it
shed some of its pestiferous com
panions, better known as lice, in
said bed. Many of the men are
now spending their nights in their
rooms for they are not sure as to
which bunks the hen inhabited.
Contributions for this hyar pil
lar would be greatly appreciated.
BY TIIEIIAUNTRESS
SOCIETY
With the spring season well on
ita way, hour dances are gaining
popularity again.
When the A. T. O.'s turned up
at the Alpha Phi house last Fri
day night, they were in hardly pre
sentable condition. Onions had
been, served at dinner that night
and they'd forgotten about the
scheduled hour dance. Needless to
say, there were no dates made that
evening. A hint to the Theta's,
who are having an exchange din
ner with that fraternity next Sat
urday night, you might include
scalllons on your menu.
The Chi Omega's required their
pledges to turn up at the Acacia
hour dance wearing their arms in
slings as part of hell week routine.
The girls had to assume a false
name ending in Bell, so Lucille Cox
introduced herself ns Liberty Bell,
Lea Hyland as Hell's Bell, and
Betty Jean Ferguson as Tizzie
Bell.
What these actives won't do to
their pledges. One sorority re
quired their freshmen to have a
blind date Saturday night and then
kept them in the house until 11:30.
Blind dates arc not unheard of
even this far along in the game,
but as a means to an end the un
fortunate youngsters were each
given the name of a fraternity to
rail. To the person answering the
phone, they had to give an accu
rate description of themselves and
take anything they got in the way
of a date, which is not much safer
Than flipping a coin.
Mary Helen Hustead and Char-U-lon
Brown. Theta and D. V.,
have pone thir s'-parate ways. It's
s!l over now, but there are conse
quence, which we don't know
whether to blame Mary H-l-n for
or not. Perhaps, you could tell us

On

Monday evening the Sigma Kap
pa's had a candy passing in a very
unusual way to announce the en
gagement of Mary Phipps of Lin
coln, to Norman Hull of Palmer.
Candy was brought in on individ

tied on announcing it.

The Sigma Kappa pledges arc
having a house party Saturday
night for the actives. It is going
to be quite an original party. The
house will be decorated as Honey
moon Hotel with shoes and rice In
abundance. There will be various
signs scattered thru the house to
lend atmosphere to the affair. This
party is open to the public, and is
bound to be a good one. We might
add that a mock wedding will be,
no doubt, in the affair.

AGGRAVATIONS
Marian Hoppert blossomed out
with Earl Heady's pin, but he
hasn't passed the stogies yet.
Looks like there will be a few
more showers regardless of what
the weather man says.
Signs of spring Alex Rabler
blossoming out in a bright new
spring tie Arch Trimble breezing
along in a checkered bush Jacket
Bob Wheeler pressing the grass
In front of Ag hall with his mill
tary suit and then thre was Art
Moseman measuring the grass on
the campus lawn. Is it long enough
for picnics yet, Art?
Did you know that the hard
working Rex Brown is taking
time out to attend the Ag Spring
rany. ve understand that Pec
Sherburne is the lucky girl.
Did you hear Ivan Borman
merely mentioning the fact that
he can play any place on the base-
nan nine except left out.
We have heard of rniw .in.
dents going from door to door
selling Miller brushes, but Dor
othy Leasly Is the first one I ever
knew who went around trying to
buy catsup via the back door.
Advance dope on the Ag Spring
Party shows that Editor Glenn
Thacker of the Conhusker Coun
tryman is giving his steady a
break and is taking her to the
shindig. Oh yes, her name is
Marjorte Tye.
We always have wondered how
they packed sardines into such
small cans. The dozen Phi Mu'a
who serenaJei various frats last
night must understand the prin
ciple the way they were packed
Into that Chevrolet.
Another pair of our prominent
Ag students who are hitting it
pretty steady these days are Leno
Christensen and Avis Harms. No
wonder dates are getting so hard
to find lately.
,
Howard Kriz has been calling all
the girls In the directory these
last few daya to get a date for
the A. G. R. spring party next
month. There' nothing like being
popular he says. Russell Blorman
is on the other side of the fence.
He has two dates for the affair
and Is still undecided as to who
will be the lucky girl.
LITTLE KNOWN BUT
KNOWS A LOT
Today's minute biography It
dedicated to one of those men
behind the scenes, to one of those
men who aid to much in the at
tainment of a great star's sue
cess and who seldom receivee
due credit for their achieve
ments. . .Jack Miller It our man.
Jack has been Kate Smith's mu
sical director for seven years and
has performed with her'on radio,
screen, and the stage. He was
born in Dorchester, Mass, and
when a boy, his ambition was to
be a race car driver. A blow-out
with consequent lacerations blasted
this hope. Turning to music, Jack
studied piano for eight years,
which training landed him a job
in a movie theater. His voice, how
ever, overshadowed his piano play
ing, and landed him a job with a
New York recording company,
from whence he went to a Colum
bia Broadcasting System sustain
ing program.
He made his debut as a radio
orchestra director in Boston. He
is a prolific writer with many hits
included among those songs he
has written.
Jack admits to being an ama
teur inventor and a candid cam
era fan. He plays golf in the sum
mer and ping pong in the winter.
He likes everyone except those
persons who take advantage of his
good humor. His ambition, now,
is to have the largest and best
radio band in the world. . .he calls
the men in his orchestra "kids,"
and those kids have among their
ranks many men who have made
fortunes through musical special
ties. Jack weighs 162 pounds, stands
5 feet 8 inches tall, has blue eyes,
sandy hair, and owns a book on
"How to Avoid Sea-sickness."
All of you have heard of Ben
ny Goodman't quartet. This
rythmic group of twingstert it
the delight of many a radio
listener and it an Instrumental
part In the auccest of Benny't
orchestra. Benny, with hit clari
net; Dave Tough at the drums;
Teddy Wilson at the piano; and
Lionel Hampton at the vibra
phone make up this famed four.
Listen to them every monday
night over KFAB at 9:30 on the
Camel Caravan. . .
Grace Moore, star of films and
radio has been signed as a soloist
to accompany Andre Kostalanetz
and his all-round orchestra In a
new series of programs to begin
next Wednesday night over Co
lumbia. Ben Bernie, cigar puffing
maestro, has had his contract re
newed and will broadcast in his
usual master of ceremonies role
each Wednesday night, starting
next Wednesday, one hour earlier
than his present program. . .that
is, his new broadcast series will
be at 7:30, CST.
Jack Benny, nut of the first or
der, will work out of NBC radio
city studios for the first time in al
most a year next Sunday evening
...and will share his broadcast
with Fred Allen, at least he had in
vited Allen to appear with him ac
cording to latest NBC reports.
Jack's visit to Manhattan is to
show Andy Devine that Broadway
is something more than just a
street that the tune smiths write
about.
Jack says that he would like to
make his stay in New York as long
as possible, but he's building a
house in Hollywood, and he says he
doesn't want Mary Livingstone, his
little wife, whom he calls "Doll,"
to decorate his den-to-be in rose
buds. . .don't blame you Buck. . .
After several stage appearances
in Philadelphia, Eddie Cantor and
his troupe will return to New York
for the final broadcaxt in their
current series over CBS tonight at
7:30... KFAB... Cantor will again
Introduce his singing stars, Deanna
Durbin. Bobby Breen, and Jacques
KenariVa orchestra. Eddie will in

hours by action of the inteifratcrn
ity council.
The move, hailed as a significant
step toward the complete abolition
of the annual ordeal as demanded
by the national offices of eight of
the nine groups on the campus,
was motivated by repeated pro
tests by students, parents, faculty
and administration, and townspeo
ple. Repeated violations, said a coun
cil spokesman, of the 24 hour rule,
cut recently from a seven day pe
riod, aggravated tne situation. The
motion met with practically no op
position on the part of the council
members.
Missouri U Collegians
Stage Original Parly
On Moving Train Cars
Newest kind of collegiate party
is the one held a couple of weeks
ago by University of Missouri
journalism students.
It was a "Revelry on Rails"
and was a formal affeir stages on
a moving Wabash R. R, train.
Guests were provided with yard
long tickets covering passage and
stop-overs in each of the several
attractions offered in the cars of
the special train.
After traveling and partying
continuously for five hours, guests
found they hadn't been outside the
city limits!
Movement to Abolish
Fraternities' 'Hell-Day'
Gains Outside Support
WASHINGTON, Pa. (ACP).
"Hell-day" that period of physical
torment which every pledge must
undergo before being initiated into
a social fraternity at Washington
and Jefferson college, has been re
duced in length from 24 to 12
Tee Wee was right again. Af he predicted,
the local chapter of T.N.E. convened at the
Grand Hotel at noon yesterday. Although the
curious crowd of onlookers did not rival in size
one to be found outside a Hollywood premier,
there were nevertheless a few curious souls
loitering in nearby dark spots, anxious to get
a glimpse at these famous male personages.
And while we are on the subject of secret
honoraries, Pec Wee reminds me that we
should not overlook that amusing little inci
dent when the Tri Chis (XXX) were out side
walk painting the other evening. It seems
that Helen Abel of the Alpha Phi house owns
a swell Packard coupe. It also seems that the
said car is yellow. Well, it s only
natural that an ambitious young
man with a bucket of black paint
should have an irrcsistable urge to
see what kind of a color combina
tion black will make on yellow.
You can probably guess the
rest. The afore mentioned Miss
Abel found to her disgust three
very black Xs on the shiny back of
her car. An anonymous phone call
to Helen duly apologized for the act
and promised to pay for the. damage done.
Now anonymous phone calls mean phone
calls in which the name of the caller is not
known. With this definition in mind, it might
be well to strike the word out of the sentence
above, and make it "A phone call to Helen".
And here's a tip to Helen and all the rest
of you girls. If you drop in at the third floor
of GOLD'S soon, you are promised a real sight.
There are some new tailored suits on display
there that will really knock your eyes out.
They are mannish to the extreme, and are
really swell.
Have a little news about a few of last
year's grads that might be of interest to some
of you. Boh Funk is in Los Angeles as owner
and publisher of a trade magazine for apart
ment house managers. George Pipal left his
job with the United Press the first of Febru
ary to go to California. He got there just in

time to cover the floods out there and is now
on his way to Honolulu to cover the naval
maneuvers for the U. P. He promises to send
a grass skirt to Pee Wee. We are still won
dering how he is going to get it.
Bill Marsh had a yen for the movies that
he didn't tell many of us about when he was
here. At any rate he has been trying to crash
pictures for the past several months, but latest
reports are that he is working as a trouble
shooter for an engraving firm. Tec Wen says
he doesn't know what that is either. Last word
from Bob Shellenberg said that he was selling
card table covers at Wanamaker's in New
York, with an eye toward an advertising job
there.
But to get down to more real
istic events. What Sig Alph left
his date at the S.A.R Bowery party
for a least a part of the evening to
I Wee says he can answer that one.
II He says they are, respectively, Sam
LJulAJ Francis, Ketty McDowell, and Bar-
all goes to show that clothes don't
make the man.
But in case they did, the fellows who have
bought slacks and Bush Jackets at GOLD'S
would certainly forge to the front of the line.
They really make classy outfits for campus
wear these spring days.
A want ad was accidcntly sent to our de
partment. We are glad to co-operate, though,
and will. print it free of charge. "Wanted, ex
act chronological resume of events and hap
penings at the Sig Alph Bowery ball. Reward.
Margaret Smith."
And that seems to he all for today, but
Pee Wee will be watching you.
