Hails Hairi Mata; explains
excitement on sorority row
By Agnes Wanek.
After the opening of Kosmet
Klub spring show, it seems that
there will be some doubt as to
just who is the best looking1 girl
on the campus. If Bettie Cox had
not already been elected as Ne
braska's representative in the All
America n College Queen contest,
they say that ATO Ralph Wordcn
as Hairi Mata would come very
close to taking top honors.
BURNING QUESTION
of the moment: Are Kappa Marian
Cramer and Beta Bob Aden now
in the ranks of the "two's a com
pany, three's a crowd" organiza
tion that grews and grows as
spring advances? And if they are,
just where does this leave Alpha
Sig Bob Therien.
BIG THINGS
are being planned by the Alpha
Chi's for their province conven
tion which meets here for a three
day session this weekend. Dele
gates from nine different states
will be represented when they reg
ister Friday morning. National
President Mrs. Carl Winsor will
come to Lincoln for the affair.
At a luncheon in the Student
Union Friday noon, Mrs. David
Sims will speak on international
relations. "Officers' Training" ses
sions and panel discussions are
featured in the serious business of
the convention. A buffet supper
will be held Friday nisht and each
chapter will give a skit at the
fireside to be held later in the
evening.
Other plans include a banquet
to be held at the University Club
Saturday night. Following the din
Tier will be a dance, given for the
Alpha Chis by the alumnae or
ganization. FOR THOSE
of you who wonder what the rest
of the excitement was along so
rority row Monday night, a good
part of it took place at the Chi
Omega house when Ruthie Stevens
and Jimmy Minnick passed candy.
Chi O's were even more confused
when Yvonne Costello wore the
SAE sweetheart pin of Vike Fran
cis down to dinner for the first
time.
ENTERTAINING
with a house party Saturday night
was Howard Hall. Among the
guests included were Dick Kerlin
John Kelly, Fred Reece, George
Schappaugh, and Bob Penner.
Radio, bigwigs
to hear Reidcr's
bone instrument
The bonaphone, popular musical
creation of Henry Reider, prepara
tor of the university museum, will
be heard in its second "long dis
tance" broadcast Tuesday night.
The marimba-like instrument,
fashioned from the fossil ribs of
the extinct rhinoceros which once
roamed the Nebraska prairies, has
had the eye of various radio pro
gram directors of the country for
some time. Monday Reider re
ceived a telegram from the pro
ducers of the John Hix "Strange
as It Seems" program asking him
if he would play his instrument
Tuesday night while they listened
over the telephone from their New
York City office.
Reider wired that he would be
ready at 7. When the call comes
through, Mrs. Reider will hold the
family telephone near the bona
phone while the museum prepara
tor pounds out a few strains of
"Home On The Range."
Psi Chi initiates
26 new members
Psi Chi, honorary psychology
fraternity, last night announced
the name of 26 new members of
the organization. Following the
initiation there was a banquet
honoring Dr. A. R. Lauer who
later discussed "The Science of
Safe Automobile Driving."
The 23 new initiates are: John
A. Bath, Mrs. Lois Beck, Rachel
Diller, Floyd Green, Betty Groth,
James M. Harrison, Jozetta Hel
frech, Marguerite Hornung, Beth
Howley, Muriel Line, James Mc
Whorter, Faith Medlar, Barbara
Meyer, Eric Oting, Elizabeth
Pierce, Jane Porter, Theodore
Richert, Dr. R. W. Russell, Jean
Sanders, Jeanet Swenson, Philip
Thompson, George Wrenhalt, and
Ruth Wilber.
Associate members, whose
names were announced, are: Kath
erine Delano, Clarice Ekerolt and
Edith Oner.
Discussion club
establishes fund
honoring Anslcy
The memory of Dr. C. F. Ansley,
professor of English at the uni
versity trom 1894 to 1899, is hoped
to be perpetuated by a Clarke F.
Ansley Memorial Fund sponsored
by the American Discussion league,
with headquarters at Columbia!
This fund will be used for the
furtherance of American democ
racy by the restoration of the
practice of public discussion in all
local communities.
Ansley was editor-in-chief of th
Columbia university press and the
Columbia Encyclopedia from 1927
to 1939. One of the interests of
Dr. Ansley was his faith in th
practice of community open dis
cussions. He believed that this sort
of neighborhood education would
build better citizens and political
leaders.
The funds derived from tfc'
memorial fund will be devoted?""
this cause.

Mr. Glencannon versus
THE SMUGGLERS OF SAN DIEGO
Was it Lincoln or Glencannon who said,
"If you can't lick 'em, join 'em"? This
week, Glencannon finds his ancient enemy
MacCrummon working a profitable smug
gling racket, and decides to join in. Like a
cat joins a mouse, we might add.
