Double talk . . .
No prejudice here we see
society from both angles
by Milry Anna Cookie.
Eddies of snow being blasted
about as Marian Kidd hurries
toward a two o'clock. . .half the
Sig Alph chapter filing into one
of Mr. Stepanek's sessions...
Betty Rathburn looking kinda
cunning in a ski suit. . .Johnny
Folsom clubbed "Rhett Butler"...
Betty Bachman, one of the lucky
gals to have her fortune told this
p. m....Jack Hyland taking to
the hickories on the slopes outside
Lincoln. . .and all of us hunting
for our mittens and ear muffs
again.
PHI GAMS
have the monopoly on Friday
night parties with their shindig at
the Cornhusker tonight. You'll be
seeing Lowell Ellis there with
Frances Green, Alpha Chi, John
Carr with Mildred Anderson, KAT,
and Carl Olenberger with Betty
Jo Byllesby also Theta. The Fiji's
are getting right fancy about the
whole thing, with dinner at the
house for the chapter and their
dates, and some mighty clever
crested jewelry for the lucky gals.
SOME SAY
that Beta Bob Clow is a wee bit
perturbed because Ann Craft,
KKG, is going to the Kappa for
mal with Sigma Nu Bill Stuht.
All of which reminds us of some
thing that happened early last
fall. Herb Glover, Beta, called the
Kappa house one night for a date.
"I'm sorry," said a coy young
Kappa pledge, "but December 14th
is my first open date." After some
consideration Herb decided if that
was the best she could do, it would
be all right, but he wasn't quite
prepared for her comeback of "Do
you want the whole evening-"
UNLIKE
anything that has even been at
tempted at the Delt house, Bud
West has been delving into phil
osophy tomes of late. It all started
when a Tri Delt suggested they
keep things purely platonic, so
Bud has had to do some indus
trious reading to find out just ex
actly what it was this guy Plato
was talking about.
Approximately one-third of the
University of North Dakota stu
dents are Lutherans.
Ninety-five percent of the Cor
nell university students have a re
ligious preference.
The University of Michigan has
one of the two large specimens in
the world of pallasite meteorite.

by John Muwin.
Dale Ruser, Phi Gam wrestler,
grew a beautiful beard for his
match yesterday afternoon but
evidently Pi Phi Maxine Fuller
prefers glamour to goatees be
cause she shqwed up in the Crib
with DU Bill Niehus. This caused
considerable comment not only In
the Phi Gam house but also in the
Theta house where the sisters are
expecting steady dates any time
now between Bill and Esther
Louise Lefler.
ANOTHER PROBLEM
in geometry arises from the Jerry
T h o m p s o n-Ruth Yourd-Frosty
Wilson triangle. A bulletin from
the AOPi house informs us that
Ruthie and the Sig Ep, Frosty,
are now going steady. However
from the Phi Gam house comes
the information that she is still
going to dinner and the Phi Gam
formal with Jerry tonight. Are
you going to stand for that,
Frosty ?
SINCE
Pi Phi Charlotte Stahl has broken
up with Bud Rohde of the Delt
house, she has been getting along
with an old flame Bill Edwards,
the Beta swimmer. Meantime Bud
has bounced into the Theta house
and Betty Jackson is taking him
to their formal.
IF ANY
of you have that almost unheard
of disease, too many dates, you
may sympathize with Betty Dodds
and also profit by her experience
of this week. It seems she inad
vertently accepted two dates for
this Saturday night. The result?
She is going to Omaha with Bob
Wherry, DU, Saturday and with
Max Meyer, the other one, to the
ATO fireside Sunday night. Pretty
slick, Betty!

From Broadway . .
Comes The Gentle People7,.
amiable fable
From Broadway comes the play
"The Gentle People" to be pre
sented by the University Tlayers
next week in the Temple theater.
Franchot Tone and Silvia Sidney
played the leads in the Broadway
production last season, and critics
praised this story of simple, ami
able people who are unable to ad
just themselves to the mode of
modern living with its gangsters,
courts of Justice, and birds of prey.
It was Tone's comeback.
Tone ended a long exile from
the footlights in playing this lead
while Miss Sidney has recently re
turned to the stage after several
successful years in Hollywood.
Other members of the Broadway
cast included Lee Cobb and Sam
Jeffe.
The story concerns two quiet,
peace-loving, old men who would
rather fish than face the reality
of the modern world. They spend
their time in dreaming of things
Concert features
Mikado records
Requested by music lovers, who
have followed the Union's series
of phonograph concerts, the entire
program of "The Mikado" will be
played at 4 p. m. today in the fac
ulty lounge. All the parts, except
Kenny Baker's, are sung by mem
bers of the movie cast. The opera
has long been a specialty of the
D'oyle Carte company of London,
who made the records.
Miami university tests have
proven that men have more rhythm
than women.

The author says the play is "an
