4 TWO DAILY NEBIMSKAN SUNDAY, MAY U, 1939 Editorial--, (Continued from page 1.) the desirability and dire need for the dormitories. Hut there can he n question as to whether these dormitories with their fine draperies and furnished rooms, their easy chairs and hair dryers, are really accomplishing a sorely needed good where that Rood is most urgent. There can be no denying the ease with which one's annual budget of expenditures can be decreased. But who in this agricultural stale does not know the proximity to impossibility the raising of one's expenditures approaches. The average sorority girl on this campus spends approxi mately $80 a year more for board and room than does a girl living in a dormitory. On the other hand, few girls living in rooming houses pay even as much as $2.r0 a year, or $G0 less than the costs in the dormitories. Hence it seems evident that a large part of the additional 120 girls living in the university buildings next year will come from the ranks of those who would ordinarily live in a comfortable sorority. With such luxurious dormitories, with prices so high as to compete with the affiliated groups, the dormitory system is failing before it is even inaugurated. The women who have money to spend, unless socially opposed, should live in sorori ties. The poor girls, without money to spend, without the . ability to choose between comfortable places to live, could then be lifted out of the hovels into which they have been forced. It is economically as well as morally unsound to operate the new dormitories on such a financial basis as to attract women from the sororities, thus leaving comfortable quarters unfilled, while there are still women living in filthy, degrading and unhealthful rooms of the city. It is not too late. The two new units can si ill be operated on a less luxurious plan and afford decent dwelling for a large portion of the unaffiliated women. The value of progress can only be judged by the quality of its improvement. To decrease the number of sorority women in operating the dormitories without improving the lot of the unlucky students pushed into the squalid surround ings of many of the rooming houses, is not only showing our backs to progress, it is a crime against intelligent minds.

That age old theory that football players are great, big, strong, silent men was disproved for the second time In three years at the University of Detroit, when James Murray Temple, a varsity center, became the second Titan gridder to win tthe school's annual "After Dinner Speech" contest. Many of the contestants felt that Temple should have per mitted them a handicap. "After all," said one of the rival speak ers," these football players rpeak at high school athletic busts all during the year, and they're prac tically professional after dinner speakers by the time this contest rolls- around."

Women's halls to open doors in September (Continued from page 1.) each has an individuality of its own. Entrance from Carrie Eclle Raymond to both units is to be provided in closed, heated passage ways, on the first and ground floors and the units are connected at the north end by a closed ar cade. Both units face west, with Love hall fronting on 16th street, while Northeast hall fronts the enclosed courtyard between the two units. Rooms primarily same. Rooms in the new wings are to be primarily the same as those in Carrie Belle Raymond. In order to keep the furnishings in all of the halls alike, an extra chair and bookcase will be added to the furn ishings in Raymond hall. Every student room is to be equipped with a lavatory with hot water; a double clothes closet con structed with individual facilities for each occupant; two standard size single beds, each equipped with a mattress pad and pillow; two dressers; two straight chairs and an occasional chair; a double study desk, and a bookcase. Rugs and draperies are furnished with each room. However, each student will sup ply her own bed linen, blankets, spreads, scarfs, towels, and per sonal accessories. Shampoo, laundry rooms. The ground floors, in both units, contain shampoo and laundry rooms fully equipped. Love hall, in addition, will have a large recreation room and a comfortable study room, available to resi dents of both units. Additional rooms on the ground floor in the Northeast hall include six student rooms, all above groi-nd level; a bathroom; attractive lounge, and an "isolation unit" or infirmary. The upper floors of both new units will be very similar. Or. the first floor, there are parlors, a kitchenette, director's suite, stu dent rooms and a bathroom. The second and third floors are given over to student rooms in both units; these floors are provided with splendidly decorated lounges, well equipped kitchenettes and shampoo rooms. All of the units will have laun dry rooms where the students may do their own laundiy. There are to be complete tub and drying pro visions in the new halls as well as in Carrie Belle Raymond. Also included in the plans are large public parlors where the girls will be able to entertain. Aside from these parlors will be the auxiliary parlors on the other floors which are for the private use of the girls. Ample window space. All three halls are 9 designed that every room contained in them has ample window space. This ex plains the large court which is to be left between the halls. It has been proportionally figured out to the height of the building so that those rooms on the first floor fac ing the court would be able to have plenty of sunlight The management of the dining halls and housekeeping is under the supervision of the house and food manager, who is generally re sponsible for living conditions in the halls. A high standard of housekeeping efficiency is main tained, with regular maid service for weekly cleaning of the rooms; however, residents arc responsible for keeping their own rooms in orJer daily. All eat In Carrie Belle. Residents of all three halls will eat in the dining and ballroom of Carrie Belle Raymond. Special folding tables have been purchased for the ballroom so that the floor may be easily cleared for dancing, More cooks will be added to the kitchen staff and the cooking fa cilities and equipment will be in creased. Any woman student of the uni versity may make application for residence in the new halls. The applicant must fill out the appli cation card which is mailed to the social director with a deposit of $10. On the back of these card& is a contract which states the rates and information concerning the hall. The student is bound to fulfill this contract. Applications for rooms will be considered in the order in which they are received by the director. From information fnind on these application cards, an attempt is made to assign roommatts of sim ilar age and interest to each glrL Social director supervises.

Delta Delta Delta, former society editor Of the DAILY NEBRASKAN, who so kindly consented to poke her nose into the campus merry-go-round once more. Somehow or other we erstwhile society editors never say die and so-o-o your last year's hauntress returns for a final snoop about the campus. We'll skip the prattle about who was where and why this week-end and get on with our sleuthing. ! ! ! Onlv last week when Marj Bar- nett, of the Sigma Nu and Pi Phi Barnetts, was playing bridge at the Kappa house who should walk in but Howard Marshall, last sea son's love, looking a little less heart-on-the-sleevisn than usual. The object of Sigma Nu's hand somest seemed to be young Jean Humphrey, who claims she severed the recent D. U. tieup by dint of parental objection. Marj, of course, showed her medals by trumping an ace. ! ! ! The Chi Phi house mother be came just a wee bit huffy Wednes day when the maid reported that one of the boys had a creature named Lulubelle in his room. So Lulubelle was carried down to the indignant chaperon's room. It took two men to carry her, though she didn't put up much of a struggle. Lulubelle was a beautiful blonde. But even the house mother chuck led when she turned out to be a creation of cardboard and crayon. i t i And who should we run across in our scampers about the campus Thursday, but D. U.'s B. D. O. C. drawing fancy initials on his note took. The initials were, of course, B. L. G. Could it be the spring, or is Joe Stephens given to art for art s sake ? ! ! ! There seems to be a few others who are picnic weather stricken or at least the best indication is the timely appearance of the old line with its face lifted in some cases but wherever girls get together they're bound to have something in common to discuss and usually it's a man's line. Just now we're tracking our brains to think of some of the best one's we've heard second hand, of course. The first slip we drew out of the hat is Paul Bradley's old standby to his date "But, of course, I date only queens!" Dow Wilson adds a restriction, "I just pervision of the social director, who is trained and experienced in dealing with college students. An nouncement was made Saturday of the appointment of Miss Katherine Hendy, Kappa Kappa Gamma, '37, as new social director over the halls. She will succeed Miss Clem entine Newman, who has been di rector at Carrie Belle Raymond for the last two years. Residents of the hal's are to be under the social rules and regula tion of the Associated Women Stu dents, an organization which gov erns all women students of the university. Certain special hall regulations have also been set up. All residents are expected to ob serve these rules.. A social fee of $1.25 per semes ter covers the entire program of parties and other social events which the student organization plans; there ares no extra assess ments. Traditional parties carried over to the new halls from Carrie Belle Raymond will be the Christ mas party. Senior Dinner, May Morning Breakfast, birthday din ners and informal pajuma parties. Designed by Wilson & Davis. Davis and Wilson. Lincoln ar chitects, designed the new halls. Commenting upon them, Mr. Davis covered the plans briefly saying, "The rooms in the new units will be larger than those in Carrie Belle. The lavatories found in each room will be tiled and there will GRADUATION GIFT ROYAL PORTABLE Nebraska Typewriter Co. 130 No. 12th SL B2157 I EVERY- J " CT ( want my dates to LOOK like queens." From the ridiculous to the sub lime we advance with Harry Ep person's "Someday I'm going to marry a girl like you." ,For the rest of the evening Harry's date la absorbed in visions of herself as the "Dream Girl of Delta U" while Harry is free to devote his thoughts elsewhere. Then there's a smooth, smooth Beta who pro tests his feelings with "You appeal to something fine within me." Oh ileah! We tried to think of something Bob Martin might have uttered but all recollection of Bob's com pany manners seems to be quite a clear picture of the Martin tnan asleep, his date left to shift for herself. But then there's Brother Waugh, whose actions speak louder than words sometimes. To save a few defenseless girls some embarrassment, we chose a composite line from the Sigma Chi house. Given a chance any Sigma Chi will use it. It's the old chorus of "We want plenty of house." Need more be said? ! ! ! The A. T. O.'s not a whit less opportunists at heart prefe to be more subtle about it, if they can. Kent Tupper's "You're sweet" ex emplifies what is usually a good beginning. While Bob Sandburg claims "All I want to do is darce." Hmmrn! Bill O'Connor's open topped sport roadster speaks for itself. ! ! ! A lot of Phi Gams are going steady which might indicate that some of the other boys could take heed there. Harvey Minnick does the Acacia's proud with that "At last I've found you air" at an hour dance. f ' Speaking of hour dances Ray Smith, one of Jan Lau's flames of the current season did right proud by himself. To one of the girls he murmured, "Couid I just call you up and talk to you. I would feel so much more at ease over the telephone. You're so beautiful, you frighten me." And to her roommate he parried, "I came just to dance with you. I've been watching you all evening.' ; j ; Nate Holman, went dramatic with a scene from one of Garbo's screen thrillers, "Just turn your back and keep talking to me as if I were here." Oh yes. Wc could go on forever. Eut don't worry, boys, we won't. The best one's we probably believe. Suckers. be one large shower room on each floor. There will be three showers and one tub in each of these Bhow er rooms." Work was begun on the halls last November. The contractors are now well ahead of their work ing schedule. Students enrolled in field courses in the Columbia univer sity summer session will travel more than 31,800 miles on tbeir tours. In June Stevens Institute of Technology will sponsor a confer ence on the inter-relations of busi ness and government.
