SOCIETY 7Andwhatare YOU sending?' -as gals go wild on corsages "And what kind of corsage are you sending your date for the Mortar Board party, my dear?" That's the question. The answers range all the way from dog col lars to bottles and vegetables. One Theta, who declined to be named, is sending her date a clus ter of tiny liquor bottles. Betty Roach, Pi Phi, is sending that onion-hater, Sig Alpha Hemphill, a bunch of the detested vegetable. Kappa Betty Ann Kennedy made Bill Wahl a white orchid out of cotton and decorated it with red and blue ink. Alpha Chi Lillian Minor is sending her date a cactus with a note saying "Who's stuck now." Theda Chapoton is sending a funeral wreath, and Alpha Chi Jane Jordan a circle of cigarettes which can be pulled out during the evening. Among those sending "really nice" corsages is Louise Malm berg, D. G., with a bouquet of vio lets for Sig Alph Bill Hinrichs. The Mortar Boards themselves will give two gardenias with streamers of their colors, black and gold. ENTERTAINING their dates with a dinner at the Cornhusker before the Mortar Board party will be Alpha Phi's Betty Purdham, with Alpha Sie Walter Cropper; Harriet Hede- lund, wnose victim u 11 K A Carl Rapp, and Doris Halstead and Sig Ep Verne Rawalt.

President Paul Spvout has resigned to accept a position in the army. which seemed In violation of past soviet expressions. It was Maxim Litvinov, one time Russian commissar of for eign affairs, who but two short years ago at Geneva urged that all the powers adopt a collective security arrangements, who casti gated war as an instrument of na tional policy, who urged that sanctions be applied against "ag gressor" nations. "Innocent" Italy. Today, that "innocent" Italy which was victorious in the Ethi opian and Albanian conquests de nounces Russia as an aggressor nation and urges that sanctions be invoked against her. Today, Russia, which so bitterly pro tested the English blockade of Germany, has itself blockaded the. Finnish coast. These are not peculiar nor un expected maneuvers, rather they are in accord with human nature. We all want that which favors us, even though in our lack of wis dom we fail to comprehend that' the end result may not be to our benefit. The reason for the Rus sian abrogations of the Litvinov proposals may be simply stated: Latvinov is no longer foreign commissar nor is he in the high ranking councils of Stalin. Gov ernments rise and fall on the strength of their ability to remove such men and promises.
