When we heard about the uni
versity's new ruling outlawing
nepotism at Nebraska we rushed
right over to interview Prof.
Lucius Lorelei Bodd. A. B. X. Y.
Oh, Boy. Prof. Bopp is renowned
for his invention of the self-tx-ploding
automobile time bomb for
Bilencing back seat drivers.
"This new rule against nepotism
has me down in the dumps," Prof.
Bopp snapped peevishly. "Why,
nepotism h;is made this university
what it is one big happy family.
If it hadn't hoen for my uncle and
eight cousins I d never have
muscled in."
"I've given the best years of my
latives' lives to this university,"

"Look at Hollywood. There
they've raised nepotism to a fine
art. Why, Sam Goldwyn can't say
a harsh word to his office boy. It
might be his wife's nephew."
And. leaving Lucius tearing
three telephone books, we moved
Co to bigger things. . . ,

more than once.

No doubt we've been reading too
much of Esquire lately but the fol
lowing thrilling tale, of Life in the
Ozarks or Horace the Hapless
Hillbilly escaped us before we
could stop it:
Old Jed lay in the sun and tried
to open his eyes. It was hard
work but at last he got one lid up,
then another. But the effort was
too much. Old Jed felt himself
y&rowing weaker.
' "I'm done foah," he sighed and
fell back, exhausted.
' "You'ns ought to know better
than to try open in' yore eyes be
foah foah o'clock," Jed's wife said.
"Who's thct a-comin' up the
path? If it's another one-of them
radio comedians lookin' for hill
billy jokes, hand me my squirrel
rifle."
"Pardon me, sir," a blight
young man greeted Jed. "I'm
from the Gallup poll. Would you
mind telling me if you're tfolng to
ote for Koosevelt or Wilikier
Jed thought a while. "Roose
velt," he said. Then he sat up,
scratched, yawned, spat, and
reached for his jug.
"Yes. sir." he said. "Any man
that can heat them Spaniards at
San Juan Hill is good enough for
me!"

As a vet '.-ran of a while yeai's
ad experience we've found the
best phrases to use are:
"Tell hiin his ci:r it, parked next

"Tell him I have his check from
the head office."
"Listen, mv old man's got in-

go back to dishing hash and,
what's worse - eating it!''
"Oh, so he won't talk, eh? Well,
suppose I use my imagination!"
Of course, you'll probably be
thrown out on your ear. But that's
how we got our start!

At present there is no law in
Nebraska or half the other states
which makes provision for the ed

otherwise homebound children, the
article explains, utating that this
year for the fir:t time the exten

been possible for children or nign

for an education. The parents are

Pledges sport variety of
ribbons in gay colors
'The avenue of acquaintance to
a beautiful woman is one paved
with ribbon and lace." So wrote
Shakespeare, "Bugs" Baer, or
somebody. And so it is. that by
their pledge ribbons ye shall know
them -this year's "300," the so
rority frosh.
If the panier of personality in
the far booth wears a fold of
black and gold ribbons, it's a cer
tainty that she is a member of
Kappa Alpha Theta. The Alpha
Chi Omegas, on the oiner nana,
wear the Christmas colors of red
and green.
When you meet Kappa ivappa
Gamma's, you'll know them by
their light blue and dark blue rib
bons. A Delta Gamma girl finds
that she is known everywhere by
her blue witn Dronze ami pinK no
bon. A call to Pi Beta Phi brings
a voice belonging to a wine and
blue ribbon to the phone. Alpha
Xi Delta pledges stand apart with
their gold and double blue ribbons'
while their neighbors, Delta Delta
Delta pledges are known over the
campus by their single blue plua
gold ribbon.
With colors to match their
house a. Chi Omega will be wear
ing a ribbon of cardinal. and straw.
Among the unusual color combi
nations, those which are not hard
to miss, are the mode and brown
of Gamma Phi Beta and the lav
endar and maroon of Sigma Kap
pa. A rose was the inspiration for
Alpha Omicron Pi when they
chose Jacminot red.
And the score of Alpha Pht
pledges are proudly wearing their
silver and bordeaux. At the Kappa
Delta house, the color scheme is
oroAn and white while UD the
block are the Phi Mu pledges with,
their rose and white ribbons.
