THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
'College Days' come to an end
National survey shows ...
Triad, Engine
ball conclude
busy week
By Mary Jean McCarthy
With Ivy Day, one of the most
Important and looked-forward-to
days of the year, past, all eyes
focused on the Triad and Engi
neers ball last night. Three frater
nities, Beta, Phi Delt and Sigma
Chi, were hosts at the Lincoln
Country club for the Triad, and
the Engineers ball was held at the
Cornhusker. Then too, many of
the campusites went out to wel
come the opening of Antelope
park.
TRIPPING AT
the Triad were many 'young
spring things.' Most lucky were
the fellahs because they were not
obliged to wear strictly formal at
tirebut the unfortunate gals had
to again don the frills and lace.
Some of those attending were DGs
Polly Windle and Betty Reese with
Betas Lee Taylor and George Sou
ders, Kappa Sue Woodruff and
Mary Ella Bennett with Phi Delts
Jim Cain and Joe Ryan, Thetas
Becky Waite and Barbara Stewart
with Betas Dick DcBrown and Sid
Hartman; Pi Phi Marion Lowery
with Sigma Chi Jack Moore; and
Theta Dorothy Weirich with Phi
Delt Jack Beauchamp.
'MY DEAHS
vour setee Is ablaze.' That's the
greeting that greeted the Delta
Gammas at three o'clock Thurs-1
day morning. They looked out;
onto their terrace and lo and be- j
hold their porch furniture was
going up in flames. They are now
wondering just who could have
dropped a cigarette maybe? ?
ANI-MULES
almost stole the show or maybe we
hould say stopped it when the
fraternity sing was in progress.
Prince, the Beta mongrel, and
Duff, the Sigma Nu brewer, had
quite a fun time just wandering
around (would have made good
Innocents) and taking In all but
most everyone, even a dog, la curi
ous but remember that ancient
adage curiosity killed the cat
what about the dog? ?
AND STILL
the TNE sign appears and this
time it was on the elaborate red
and white libbon that aborned the
bouquet presented to Ivy Day
Queen Pris Wicks. Ah - isn't mys
tery fascinating? ?
THIRD TIMES
a charm but this time It wasn't
altho Alpha Phi Shirley Heldt Is
Sig Alph Millard Cluck tried
hanging his pin that many times
the other night. The third time
he was successful but then the
next morning he -wu wearing it
again not so charming eh
Prince.
AND AGAIN
Bet tie Cox was seen at the Triad
party with Jack Castle, Sigma
Chi. Ruth Surber, Towne club,
has a pin, which belongs to Ellis
Dan. She skipped out of town be

gratulate her.

of stone with a large memorial
hall in the center containing a 15
foot glass solar system. The proj
ect was completed in four weeks.
Leavitt ha previously received
Beaux-Arts recognition on four
other major projects and two
skatch problems.
King for a Day--the Ivy learns
thatall this pomp is vanity
Old King Solomon spaketh
aright when he saith, "Vanity of
vanities all is vanity." For con
firmation look at the university.
Here, are organized two Btrong
political factions. Strong and pow
erful they are recruiting all the
strength they can, they gird them
selves together and pick the
biggest and heftiest football play
ers to run for presidents of the
Junior and senior classes.
The people's choice.
And all turn out one hundred
strong on election day 'o vote
double, triple, yea and even as
high as 16 times so that their foot
ball player might become class
president. And grea" ,'s the rejoic
ing when their side wins, and
equally great is the sorrow and
lamentations from the losing side.
And there Is a reason for all this
activity, for great and Important
are the functions of the two presi
dents. So great and important are the
functions of the two that hun
dreds come to view their office.
Yet every Ivy Day the two hulk
ing football players march to
gether up to the platform to re
ceive from the hands of the May
Queen a slip of Ivy. And together
they dig a hole in the earth and
plant and water the Ivy.
Dust unto dust.
Then the fence is taken away,
and members of the crowd trample
on the Ivy. And prospective Mor
tar Boards sit on the Ivy. (Oh if
Ag hangover
from Fair
is energetic
Today, not yesterday, is the
moat important part of Farmers
Fair. All ag students must be on
campus by 8:30 this morning to
lend a hand in razing the "fair
grounds" and cleaning up the gen
eral mess. Failure to pitch in and
help means a double ducking in
the horse tank. Reward: a clean
campus and lunch free. Don't be
lieve they'll clean up? Ask Purty
Cowgirl Ma'y Bell Haumont; she's
been through it all except the
duckings.
PANCAKED
best describes Betty Ann Roberts,
whose horse tossed her to a three
point landing in the three gaited
horse exhibit, yesterday afternoon.
Was her face red, and was her suit
black ?
CITY SLICKERS
vacationed with the farmfolk turn
ing the ag campus into a regular
dude ranch. Sorority girls, sup
posedly accustomed to horse back
riding, dressed out like Cowboys
from Broadway strutted their
stuff around the horse barns.
Many were wearing flashy yellow
jackets and rawhide skirts. Quite
becoming eh?
STARTLED
was Mary Roaborough, who was
attacked by a wild bull. The bull
didn't come within ten feet of the
fence behind which Mary was
standing, but it took less than no
time for Mary to run for the car
and lock herself in.
THEN THERE WAS
Cowboy Roy Petch, whose "whin
ny" (such as only Ray can make)
was answered by his horse. Com
munity of interest they call it, but
no doubt the animal was just giv
ing him a horse laugh.
CELEBRATING
at the annual Fair party last night
were more than three hundred ag
and city dancers. Those present
include Ed Rousek with Ben Alice
Day, Alpha XI Delt. Kieth Gilmore,
with Betty Jo Smith, new Mortar
Board, Innocent Marvin Kruse and
Ople Hedlund, and Harold Schudel
and Paula Jones.

variety), and the poor trampled
Ivy valiantly fights for life.
And then the two 250 pound
class presidents, their job done,
forget the poor lonely Ivy and
sorrz souvenir a;eker comer and
tears it up. Yea verily, by the
very root.
Ar.d the Ivy about which bards
