THE DAILY KEBKASKAN, THURSDAY. APRIL It. 1938
"Yoxi know, Pee "Wee, it's certainly
wonderful, this world we live in. First
they give us bathtubs, then electric lights
so we could see in the dark and now they
have gone so far as to provide, a device
that keeps it dark in broad daylight.
Just think of my grandparents, for in
stance. When grandpa was courting grand
ma nad to wait until atter
dark to steal a kiss. Kven
then they had to hide behind
the barn or somewhere.
But now everything is
different. Yes, the theater is
a great thing. It is really n
boon to college romance. To
day couples can sit in the
back row of any matinee and
neck and nothing is thought
of it.
However, when those per
sons make the mistake of
sitting down near the center of the Kiva
it gets pretty bad, and particularly when
they sit just in front of us. Yes, Tee Wee,
if you ask Fred Slurry and Rosalie Motl
what the show was about two will get
you ten that they can't tell you. Please,
kiddies, save your woo pitching until after
dark. You don't have to pay to get in.
And you girls don't have to pay to
get in to look at the attractive new cotton
dresses at COLD'S. They come in linens,
shantungs, and batiste in just, about any
color you could think of. Just drop in
and see them. YVe know yon will want
several of them for these hot days.
And while we are speaking of attrac
tive things, it might be well to mention
the very attractive house guest of Pat
Hums, ller name is Dorothy Jack, she
hails from Saint Louis, says "you all," and
smokes a pipe. My great grandmother
used to smoke a pipe.

Pee Wee says he thinks that Harry
Haynie is either missing something or is
smart enough to cover it up. Harry is na
tional commander of Pershing Rifles and
they say that the boys don't take that job
for the work there is in it.
John Jarmin, commander last year,
and Oeorge Eager, his side kick, boast of
the fact that they spent only
six week ends in Lincoln last,
school year. The remainder
of the time was spent on "in
spection trips" to other
schools near and far from
here. It is quite possible that
there may be a reason for
Haynie not taking too many
jaunts. Rut surely the mili
tary department can't be run
ning short of funds. Not as
long as they have the Mili
tary Rail racket under their
thumbs.
Another kind of racket is that made
by the new loud sweaters you may Lave
seen worn by many of the fellows. They
have horizontal stripes running around
them and are sleeveless. They are called
Barrel Sweaters and came from GOLD'S.
It's getting about time for the boys
from the Farm House to have their annual
food picnic. It is given after they butcher
at the Ag College and the food is'of rather
doubtful origin, but they say it's darn
good.

BY THE HAUNTER
BROWSING AMONG
THE BOOKS
By Otto Woerner,
Much comment was heard dur
ing the recent Russian purge
trials over the strange death of
Maxim Gorki, greatest modern
Russian novelist. Gorki, so the
court proved, was murdered by his
physician when Yagoda, former
head of the Russian secret police,
Ogpu, ordered the doctor to give
Gorki a poison Instead of his regu
lar sleeping pill. Yagoda, who has
since died by way of the Russian
firing squad, admitted that he had
ordered the murder, but implied
that It was on ordet of "higher
ups."
"The Spector," Gorki's last
work, will be published in English
soon. Gorki, known also as Piesh
kov, wrote one of The Russian
Masterpieces in Decadence." He
also wrote the book on which the
film "Lower Depths" is based.
Cast in the leading role of vil
lain on the European political
stage Is Adolph Hitler, in H. C.
Wolfe's new book, "The German
Octopus." Wolfe declares that
Hitler is world enemy number one
during a period of international
lawlessness. Correlated with
Wolfe's book is Elwyn Jones book
"Hitler's Drive to the East." Jones,
the author of the b-ok, is a radi
cal English lawyer and author,
and was leader of the Austrian
Radical Socialist Party. Jones re
ports that he has soen bridges
blown up by the nazis, that he
saw "the death mask of Dolfuss
lying on the table, while outside,
in the larger room, a lamp was
burning in the corner above the
place where Dolfuss bled slowly to
death from a nazi bullet. Jones
has since been forcibly ejected
from Austria.
Eddie Guest, the popular poet
philosopher, has written and col
lected enough material to make a
new Guest book, "All in a Life
time." It is reported that Guest
has done his best in this book to
take the tang out of the popular
Guest rhyme, "I'd rather flunk my
Wasserman test, than read a poem
by Eddie Guest" . . . Somerset
Maughan, prominent English au
thor of "Of Human Bondage," also
has made a gesture at a grand fi
nale. "The Summing Up" is
Maugham's tale of the impressions
he has received while traveling
along the road to author star
dom . . .
DuPont's libel suit against
Ferdinand Lundberg, author of
"America's Sixty Families." Lund
berg has published a retraction of
statements made in the book
about the duPont company, and
Viking, publisher of the book, has
ordered all mention of the duPont
company to be eliminated from
all new books.

Another unusual book which is
rapidly approaching the best seller
ranks is Rene Belbenoit s "Dry
Guillotine." Belbenoit was a con
vict at Devil's Island until 1934
when he escaped to America.
Proof that truth is stranger than
fiction is given since readers all
over the country have ecclaimed
this book as the most exciting,
most vivid, yet most valuable real
ism that has been produced in
many years. Belbenoit incidentally
claims that he was falsely con
victed, and has proven himself to
be a great literary artist.
Maxwell Anderson, who is
ranked playwrite second only to
the great Eugene O'Neill, is spon
soring a contest to encourage the
production of more poetical
dramas and to intensify interest
in the "old-fashioned" drama. Co
operating with Stanford university,
Anderson is offering $300 dollars
for the best poetical play sub
mitted before June 1. Ibsen, whom
the freshmen English classes study
so carefully, was the first great
playwright to depart from the tra
ditional poetical form. Anderson
has written several plays which
university students have seen
played by the University Players.
"High Tor, ' Anderson's latest, as
well as "Winterset" and "Mary,
Queen of Scots. ' have received
considerable praise...
Since this Is the Easter issue of
the great daily of Nebraska U's
newspaper, we have decided to
be nice and not print anything
rash about anyone. Easter is the
time to be serious and think of
the better things in life but some
times that is pretty hard to do.
But perhaps when Sunday rolls
around, you my children will go
to church and get religion. Who
knows, we might go too!
At dinner last night at the
Alpha Phi house, it was announced
that there was going to be a re
ducing club and everyone was in
vited to join up, that is, all the
girls in the house. The name of
this fancy movement is not quite
clear but it sounds like The Slen
der Curves Reducing Club. Every
nite at 10 o'clock the boys have
been advised that the house Is
closed. Good luck girls. Maybe the
fellows would like to join up to
lose that winter or liquid stom
The Pi Phis are getting mad at
some certain fellow who parks his
car in the garage in back of the
house. He comes in too late they
say and wakes them from their
peaceful slumber.
The column is badly in need of
some reporters and we mean bad
ly. The news does not come to our
cars as freely as it might and so
the real stuff doesn't leak out. It
would be appreciated greatly if
anyone hears of any good dirt that
they would call or drop around
and tell us about it. Keep your
eyes open and tell us all about it
There will be picnics over the
week end so behave and don't
stay out too long in the sun for
you might get sun burned. Now
spring is here in earnest and
you all are going home for Easter
so you can rest for the coming
six weeks exams. Good luck and
sleep well for you all need it,

Botany Professor Speaks
At Holy Week Service
Wednesday.
Referring to the fact that the
major objective of the first col
legees and universities were large
ly spiritual. Dr. Raymond J. Pool,
chairman of the department of
botany, asserts that the founda
tions of iliis country are laid on
footings deeply rooted in the
spiritual values. SpeRking at the
third University of Nebraska Holy
Week services in Morrill hall yes
terday, he briefly sketched the
development of the countiy's nat
ural resources, the growth of busi
ness and Industry and the rapid
progress and specialization in the
fields of science and education in
general. These outgrowths of
American civilization have tended
to focus attention more and more
from the broader spiritual values
toward narrower material values,
he said.
"These changes that have been
going on in this country are re
flected in the history of other na
tions during the past 50 years," he
stated, "until we have been so far
removed from the more basic
spiritual principles that many are
afraid that the soul of man will
never catch up."
Dr. Pool suggested that a unify
ing principle of a broader spiritual
type might be developed by merg
ing some of the fine spiritual fea
tures of several of the great re
ligious and spiritual movements,
including Christianity. "Something
of this sort seems necessary to
day in order to help the world of
man to a keener appreciation of
the social responsibilities that have
been placed at the foot of society."
Beta Theta Pi is having a closed
house party this Saturday, It is
their second annual CYud party.
Where the name originated can't
be found out. The decorations are
to remain secret, but the party
will be a combination of a barn
dance, hard time party, and a hay
ride. Guests are requested to wear
old clothes, so there is no limit
as to what will happen. According
to Bob Gannon, the party will be
stupenduous, collosal and gigantic.
(He didn't say anything about it
being terrific.)
'
You've always heard of people
being sold Ihe Brooklyn Bridge,
but we never thought 'nit some
one comin' ' the University of
Nebraska would fall for such a
line. Altho it isn't quite as bad as
all that, you'd think that Bill Du
gan, being a D. U. on top of all
that, wouldn't be a sucker for a
magazine. He subscribed for three
magazines, Redbook, Colliers, and
Popular Mechanics, paid cash for
them but so far has heard nothing
about them since then. However,
Bill still thinks the guy looked
honest.

When is a song a song hit?
Nobody knows until its records,
arrangements, etc., have been
played, and played, and pull-s-yed.
Anyhow, song hits, flops, or
just songs, will be presented every
afternoon over Columbia broad
castings stations from 2 to 2:30
in a new program, started yester
day. The purpose of this program
is to present 10 or 12 new songs
every week in the order in which
they appear fresh from the pub
lisher's list and from the best of
Tin Pan Alley's composers.
Columbia and Freddie Rich's
orchestra are going to find out
if radio listeners can pick poten
tial hits from weekly lists of these
new songs, which will stand alrnjc
on their merits, just as the com
posers conceived them. There'll be
no streamlined orchestrations or
dulcet disquises. There'll be good
songs, and frankly, there may be
a few bad ones.
Columbia's new venture will en
able them to know first hand just
which songs are to become the
most popular, thereby tossing a
large medium of radio credit into
their hands. The program's a darn
good idea.
Robert Taylor was once a radio
headliner on a little station in
Doane, Neb. Arlington Brugh,
Bob's real name is that, accom
panied himself on the cello and
sang over the small station dur
ing 1929.
Now, Bob has his own program,
called Good News of 1938, an
NBC feature at 8 p. m. every
Thursday night.
In case you don't already
know it, Bob is 6 feet tall,
weighs 165 pounds, hat brown
hair and blue eyes, lives in Be
verly Hills, likes horseback rid
ing and tennis, and hat a large
library of books on psychology.
Wonder what he doet with

The rhythmic wave, or rather,

the flames of his... well, listen to

haps if you were able to draw

you might listen yourself, and
not take on such an attitude of
ridicule. The listeners of Llghtt

It, will outnumber thote who
