Question is: How tocutall
classes, sti 1 1 stay in school
By Agnes Wanek.
There seems to be only one
problem confronting the campus
now and that seems to be how to
stay in school and still cut every
class every week. Anyone who
has any ideas about solving the
problem may win the potted poin
settia that certain prominent
campusites are offering for the
winning answer.
This spring weather (keep your
fingers crossed because it may
snow tomorrow) has everyone in
a dither and in the mood for pic
nics. FIRST EXODUS
in celebration of the weather was
effected by the Sig Alphs, chief
exponents of the old axiom that
"a picnic every day will keep the
blues away!" At three o'clock
yesterday afternoon, twenty-one of
the brothers wended their merry!
way to South Bend and ended up
at a summer resort home on the
Blue river.
It may be that it should have
been called a Delta Gamma-Sig
Alph picnic because the one Kap
pa, Tii Dclt, Theta Alpha Phi,
and Pi Phi really counted for very
little in competition with the mrny
DCs who were present. Tiiey in
cluded Eetty Reese, Betty Sthroe
dcr, Louise Malmbcrg, Marge
Krause, and Pat Reitz (who no
longer has John Guthrie's pin).
INTERESTED
in keeping this out of the paper
are Beta Harold Howell and Pi Phi
Madyne Beveridge who've finally
managed to make up. The recon
ciliation was effected over the
Easter vacation, but things are
not as seiions as they were before
the breakup. j
CONGRATULATIONS
to the initiates of Kappa Alpha
Theta, Delta Upsilon, Kappa Sig
ma, and Phi Gamma Delta. The
Phi Gams had their usual big cele
bration in Omaha at the Black
stone Hotel. The DU's initiation
banquet was held in Lincoln.
LAST NIGHT
the SAE's held their Founder'
Day banquet at the Hotel Corn
husUer. Principal speaker was
Dr. Charles E. Friley, president of
Iowa State college at Ames. Other
speakers included Tom Schaffer,
Dr. Paul Ludwick, Ellsworth Du
Teau. and Rex Smith. Initiation
was held preceding the banquet.

'Bargain' drama and dance
make ag double feature night
Ag campus held on unu.sual
double feature last night in Ac
tivities building when the ag dra
matic club sponsored a three-act
drama entitled "Bargain" followed
by a dance with Billy Keister's
music. Over two hundred students
and visitor;) attend?'!.
The three-act play by Tom
Kionk lasted little more than an
hour and was a departure from
the tradition of the dramatic so
ciety to present three one-act
plays instead of one full length
one. Because the club is a non
profit organization, the admission
receipts will be used only for ex
penses. The usual triangle.
"Bargain" combined several
common themes such as a middle-
