Nebraska really rates... not
that any of us have ever doubted
it but it does seem that more and
more of the national heads of lo
cal houses are Nebraskans. . .now
the Sammies are honored. The lo
cal chapter is going to spend a
fine time to-night doing homage
to their newly elected national
president in Omaha.
The lads over to the Sig Alph
domicile have picked up the
slightly derogatory habit of call
ing Clark O'Hanlon "Goodyear"
...the' claim is the innertubes
about his waist they're referring
to... and mayhaps they've basis
tho he stiH looks all right to us
for Colonel Thuis claims he's too
weighty a subject and the boys
say that Clark is going to have to
have a photo taken, in a slightly
dishabille condition for the Colonel
to prove the contrary.
And who was the soul who sug
gests that perhaps that "Platonic
Friendship definition .. .you know
the "gun you didn't know was
loaded" one was written by AOPi
Jayne Lynn and Sig Nu John
Dean. . .
Oh yes. . .and this wedding stuff
you've been hearing about Yvonne
Costello and Vike Francis is def
initely not true. . .
We've heard of but a lone candy
passing on good old Monday night
...Keith Van Neste. Acacia, and
KD Margaret Moorman. . .and on
the Acacia order, Pat Patterson
left his pin with Lois Rossmiller
for safe keeping before he took
off for guard camp.
Betty Dobbs, Pi Phi, went whip
ping down to Georgia to see old
chum DU Bob Evans and she is
now wearing a diamond on the
right finger of the left hand like
practically every other lass of our
acquaintance. . .we have given up
our lonely cave idea, ourselves...
now we're going to live alone in
adobe hut in Amona...

licate bridge boards which will be

Another addition to the archives
of the proponents of the heredity
versus environment argument is
the story of Alder t Molenaar '33,
now irrigation engineer for the
Rural Electrification Administra
tion in Washington.
Molenaar was born in Holland
on a farm below sea level. Grow
ing up in the land of the dikes and
sea walls he came to the United
States as a youth and became a
farm laborer in South Dakota.
A high school short course led
him to a desire for further educa
tion which culminated in a degree
at the university tn agricultural
engineering in 1933.
After graduation he became
state assistant extension engineer.
A years' leave of absence brought
a masters degree at the Univer
sity of California.
From the lowlands of Holland to
Irrigation Engineer for the REA
maybe heredity and environment
had nothing to do with it, maybe.

paper the Union should get.
Theta Betty McQuiston, fresh

tan papers have more worldly
news and more inirrosiing lea
tures." She wants the New York
Times.
Finally Dale Bradley, sopho
more barb, stated that he "wants
out state papers most. Especially
the New York Times."
So Nebraska students appar
ently favor metropolitan papers,
and the New York Times comfes ap
as the general favorite.
