Scholars?
When you see the lassies pour
inp into Fllen Smith this after
noon you can be sure that they
are the students, for the Mortar
Boards are giving their annual
scholarship tea.
Afterwards several of the girls
will he seen at the Beta buffet
dinner. For instance Bcttie Cox
will be there with "Piker" Davis.
Bettie's dating; list has been grow
ing and expanding these last few
days until it now includes Phi Psi
Dick Harnsberger who will tako
her to the Prom to dance to the
smooth music of the one and only
Count Basie. All of which goes to
show Phi Delt Bill Ottman that
there is plenty of competition.
But to cet back to the buffet
dinner. Some wiTl be surprised to
see Kappa Susie Stone with Prexy
John Wiengarten. Others will be
glad to see the new steady com
bination of Alpha Phi Barbara
Jones and John Edwards.
Nearly everyone
went to the formals this weekend.
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

Formal dining news from the

guests were: Jean Craig with Phi
Gam Phil Grant, Mary Louise
Simpson (Simpie to her friends)
and DU Walt Johnson, Lou Ide

from Towa, and Mr. and Mrs. El

Mrs. Bauer as Val Lortscher.
A 'Chicken in the Rough'
party was given by Sigma Kappa

country. She was there with Dick
Lundgren who has just given her
a crested Beta Sig ring. Bobbie
Marston and Mickey Weidman,

who were treated to this preview
f picnic season.
Off to Kansas
this week end went 16 Delta Gam
mas to witness the installation of
a new chapler there.
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

more and more. Is this a steady
deal?
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

Just as a parting note
we wonder why DU Ralph Reed

to dating beauteous Alice Marion
Holmes who hears Acacia Elton

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.
