There were several dinner parties given before the Theta formal, Friday. All last year's pledge class took their dates to the Comhusker while four of this year's pledges took their dates to the University club. "Tish" Trester, Hattie Cos tello, Maribelle Hitchcock and Betty May Klopp entertained ATO's Wendell Bayse, Bob Sand burg, Don Glass and Sig Alph Leonard Jacobson in this manner.

Other guests were: Jean Craig with Phi Gam Phil Grant, Mary Louise Simpson (Simpie to her friends) and DU Walt Johnson, Lou Ide with her Sigma Nu importation from Towa, and Mr. and Mrs. El mer Bauer.

Beth Howley and John Mason ATO, Grace Leaders and Jim Jones Sigma Nu also trekked to Kansas, though for a different reason, they wanted to hear Jan Savitt again . . . All of which shows that one Mr. Savitt has a lot of drawing power. Northivard to a district conclave went Sigma Delta Taus Miriam Rubnitz, Shir ley Rosenbloom, Estelle Raduzener and Shirley Epstein, who spent the last four days in Minneapolis. But not everyone went away this week end. Pat Sternberg entertained Jane Loeffler, last year's dorm president, who came back to visit her this week end.

Two more who came back were DG's Fran Bowman and Helen Anderson who gave a shower for Maxine Kingsbury in honor of her approaching marriage to Fhi Psi Bob Miller. Just as a parting note we wonder why DU Ralph Reed doesn't realize that the competi tion is plenty strong when it comes to dating beauteous Alice Marion Holmes who hears Acacia Elton Wiley's and, Sigma Nu Bus Knight's voice over the phone ask ing for dates, very frequently, they tell me. Bulloek requests seniors to file placement blanks Seniors and graduate students enrolled in the college of business administration are urged to file placement blanks, Prof. T. T. Bul lock, chairman of the committee on placements, announced Satur day. He stated that a number of students have missed opportuni ties for being considered because there was no information avail able concerning them. It is probable, he continued, that more chances for employment will be discovered than can be taken care of, in part because the proper placement blanks are not on hand. Students should file placement cards in social sciences 306.
