HOUSE-WARMING
"There'll be a hot time in the old
town tonight," we confided to the
blank wall beside us.
"Yes, and tomorrow night, and
the night after that," rejoiced the
voice of the friendly cockroach as
he appeared out o nowhere.
"Things are happening around her
so simultaneously that university
life seems to be just one big
kaleidoscope. Say, whom were you
talking to just now?"
. "Why, the blank walls. Don't you
remember that the walls them
selves have ears?"
Plastered.
"Yes, but they're plastered and
can't hear straight, anyway. How
ever, I guess it doesn't matter
much to whom you were talk
ing." "No, it doesn't. That's really a
hot tip about the hot time leal
in the old town this p. m.,
though."
"What's so hot about it?"
"There's going to be a HOUSE
WARMING in the Student Union
building this evening."
"Rather uncomfortable I should
think, on a warm spring night."
'Not a bit, it's air-conditioned.
This house-warming affair won-'t
be the least bit uncomfortable!,
even with the house swarming with
students and interested Mr. and
Mrs. John Q. Public."
'Hmn," said the cockroach, pur
sing his labials. "That ought to be
a great opportunity for the first
ers." "The whichsteis?''
Firsters.
"The firsters. You know, those
people that like to be first at
things. Somebody will take pride
In being the first to get a cherry
coke fom the soda grill, some
body will take pride in being the
first to have a chocolate malted
milk. Some two bodies will take
pride in being the first to sway
on the dance floor."
"I can tell you one thing no
body will be first at tonight in
the Student Union, my friend,"
we asserted.
"Cigarette-smoking. The dance
floor must be kept free of cigar
rette burns and the Van Santian
edict is no skagaroots Wednes
day night. Smoking is not per
missib'c until the special ash
trays have been put in their
placet."
"You mentioned dancing, didn't
you?' purred the roach. "J every-
body going to dance to the Rtrains
of ihp nublic address system the
engineers have rifrged up outside
of pharmacy hall?"
"That's two blocks from the
Student Union." we pointed out.
"Yes, but this public address
system is really public. Or haven't
you noticed?"
"So I've heard. But there will be
a dance band for the rhythm-itchy
I
The
ed soda grill will invite dalliance
and inspection.
"Say. this Student Union is a
grand idea. Why lon't other uni
ver.Mties take it up?" wondered
the coockroach, twitching his an
tennae. "They have. It has been needed
here at Nebraska for some time
and now that it is here it enould be
met with co-operation. Especially
this house warming. A building
only has one house warming, and
house warming is as Important
to a building as wedding ceremony
to a woman, not counting movie
Btars, of course. And besides, it
ought to be warmed plenty good
nd whole heartedly bemuse it's
going to be used good deal this
week."

La Follette's Third Party

By Caroll Browning.
Wusconiin'i Governor Phillip La
Follette, who established a new
third party of progressives last
Thui-sday, presented a nation-wide
speech the following night in which
his political attitude seemed to be
colored with a "faacUt tinge," ac
cording to Professor Shumate of
Nebraska university's political sci
ence Vlepartment,
"Judgment of a new party must
be reserved until later develop
ments show Its true course," added
Professor Shumate, "but there is a
suggestion of fascism In Governor
La Follette's rudimentary party
program."

national progressives of A merles

his new party Into a party of

PLANS PROMISE
GALA SATURDAY
$400,000 Structure Testifies
to Efforts of Alumni
Leaders, Students.
The eight year old dream of a
building on the Nebraska campus
dedicated to the spirit of unity
and friendship becomes a reality
at 7:30 this evening when the S;;u
dent Union building doors fire
flung open to a student body that
has been influential in its incep
tion. Designed and purposed for every
benefit that "Union" implies, the
$400,000 structure will disclose its
beauty that has hern secret, yet
anticipated, for the past ' two
months. Campus leaders of tha
past, Nebraska democrats, and the
alumni leaders will rejoice in a
spirit of completion for the issue
with which they struggled since
1930.
A Great Sacrifice.
The beautiful ballroom, spacious
office rooms, and luxurious dining
rooms of the Union will be unable
to disclose the sleepless night!
dedicated to their origin, the loss
of friendship in the cause of their
location, and the loss of life in view
of their completion.
The informality that will be
characteristic of the atmosphere
of the building at all times will be
prominent tonight. Ken Nelson s 12
piece orchestra will furnish music
for the free dancing In the gala
"open house.''
