Hallowe'en alias pledges, In the erie night of the Hallo we'en moon, witches and black cats ride above trees and roofs on long broom sticks, goblins play pranks on unsuspecting victims, ghosts hold their annual conven tion in the haunted house among the pines, and the "devil rides the earth that weird night." Thus runs the tradition. The Nebraska campus has its spooks, too, in more ways than one. But Hallowe'en doei not take account of those strange people that make timid freshmen long for the security of home, and papa 0 attemid! banquet More than 150 students and faculty members of the college of business administration attended the tenth annual recognition ban quet sponsored each year by that college last night. Highlights of the night's banquet program was an address by Frank Fogarty, commissioner of the Omaha Cham ber of Commerce, on "The Plus Values of a Business Career." Be sides Fogarty's address the ban quet program included novelty numbers by a German band. The plus values of a business career, the Omahan explained, lie in: 1. The business man's part in the building of the American civili zation. 2. The business man's part in the building of the individual com munity. 3. The business man's part in the building of the welfare of the community through various em ployment and other programs. Moral greatness. Discussing the importance of the business man, Fogarty de clared that his moral greatness is his sense of responsibility to the employees, to the stockholders and to the public. Man's secret of success lies in knowing his equipment, knowing his opportunities, in persistant try ing and in working like the devil, periphrased the speaker. Purpose of the banquet each fall is to grant recognition to the stu dents outstanding in the bizad col lege during the previous year. Largest single award was given to William Bevans Williams, Lin coln .senior, who won the John K. Miller graduate fellowship. This $500 fellowship is annually awarded to the senior in business administration who makes the highest record and plans to do graduate work. The fellowship is given by the Cooper foundation of Lincoln. Individual awards. Other individual awards went to Erie M. Constable. Paul J. t Hstandig, and Irene E. Sellers, all of whom graduated last June.

Hallowe'en spooks are those that seem to haint fra ternity houses all the week Vfore, and on that spooky night of Oct. 31, ring doorbells, soap windows. pull ticktacks on the panes of helpless friends, move haystacks to front yards, and upset those back yard unmentionables. The Sammy house Monday night was plunged suddenly into black ness and the astonished actives, in meeting, were locked in the chapter room. Spooks? No. Witch craft was dc-bunked when the ac tives who escaped through win dows caught the unwary pledges. Union waiters cowed behind the counters when a host of white robbed figures glided silently, with a few suppressed giggles, into the grilL As they passed out and down the street, pedestrians shuddered and ran for security. Ghosts? No. Chi Omega pledges on a sneak, with actives hot on their trail. See SPOOKS page 2) i't
