DAILY NEBRASKAN

Wo more days tiff vacation
is the chant of the UN populace
as they throw things into a bag
and get ready to clear out for a
few days of fun and frolic, long
overdue and long awaited.
After inquiring the destination
of the rain-drenched lads and las
sies 1 have decided that travel
will be the thing in this five day
interlude which will clear the cam
pus of its usual searchers for
relaxation.
Sig Eps Clint Jurgenson and
Bob Kricac are looking forward
to Denver and all its charms. They
will watch fraternity brother
Robin Searle chuck for our Corn
huskers when they meet Colo
rado U.
Then there are several whose
vacation trippings tend to be of a
romantic nature. Kappa Suzy
Stone will do her dancing at Kem
per military academy for one of
their big parties with an extra
special fellow in Missouri. Though
Gamma Phi, Neda Mae Albrecht,
won't say, we strongly suspect
her reasons for going to Ft. Rob
inson in Arkansas might have
something to do with a soldier.
Pi Phi Jean Craig will travel west
this vacation instead of going east
to her home in Evanston. The
reason in this case is pretty tan
gible. Seems that Phil Grant lives
there. That new. steady affair be
tween ATO Jim Nikola and Kap
pa Mary Runyan must really be
progressing quickly. Mary will
spend her vacation with him in
Norfolk.
Pi Phi Betty McGeachin will
make a very important trip to
Chicago to see the lawyer whose
fraternity pin she wears. Rumor
has it that they will be married
early this summer. Cupid strikes
again.
Far away families
Cause some of the students to
cover a lot of territory. Pi Phi
Miriam Weller will fly to Cleve
land to spend her Easter at home.
AOPi Doris Voigt, sister of Max,
the ATO, will be in San Antonio
as his guest over the vacation. He
is now an instructor at Kelly field.
Convention
in Missouri will take the Sigma
Nus down Stephens way over this
vacation. The fellows are really
planning on having a good time

ivrites on social
service staff
The last Intercollegian, official
national YW-YM magazine, con
tains an article by Frances Keefer,
local YW president on the work
of the local social service staff.
The social service staff was be
gun last fall for the first time
on this campus. The girls in the
social service staff work with the
two community centers in Lin
coln. Each girl volunteer spends an
hour a week leading children in
folk dancing, singing, games,
handicraft, story-telling or a
rhythm band.
Furnish own materials.
The girls furnish their own ma
terials for handicraft and games.
One of the workers gave her
group a Christmas party with re
freshments. Miss Keefer is the correspond
ing editor of the Intercollegian.
Another story about work on this
campus appeared in the Novem
ber issue. The Intercollegian is in
the library, the Union and at the
YW and YM offices.
Militzer writes
chemistry article
Walter Militzer of the chemis
try department wrote "Nuclear
Iodination of Aromatic Amines"
for the February issue of the Jour
nal of the American Chemical So
ciety with two graduate students,
Earle Smith and Evan Evans. Dr.
N. H. Cromwell has written "Al
pha and Beta Unsaturated Amino
Ketones IV. Mechanism Studies of
the Reaction of Secondary Amines
with Alpha, bromo-Alpha, Beta
Unsaturated Ketones" for the
March issue.
renewing acquaintances made
when the Stephens Susies came to
Nebraska.
Original Bachelors
club, which was formed several
years ago in Lincoln, will have a
big reunion this Monday night.
Funny thing about these six, Wil
lard Mertz and Avery Forke are
steady-goers who have their pins
out. Jack Stewart, Bob Sandberg,
and John Mason uphold the tra
dition, having been chosen "Eli
gible Bachelors." Nate Holman is
on the border line as he was
pinned to a Pi Phi last year
though he is a free lancer this
year.
That's al. for now, have a fun
vacation!

To inquisitive reporter ...
Elusive botany prof vaguely
discloses contents of exhibit
Prof. James J. Fitzpatrick of
the botany department doesn't
care very much for publicity in
the DAILY NEBRASKAN and
hesitates to talk with reporters
for information about his numer
ous collections.
According to Prof. Fitzpatrick
himself, the last DAILY reporter
to question him got thrown out of
Bessey hall herbarium of which
he is curator and where he spends
a lot of time. This DAILY re
porter got by with a verbal hoot
ing. Right now he has an exhibit al
most completed which he thinks
he will present before the Nebras
ka Academy of Science when it
meets in Lincoln during the first
part of May.
Asked about his collections,
Prof. Fitzpatrick answered, "Yes,
I do some collecting have a class
in the history of science, and
you've got to do this sort of thing.
Most unusual collection.
But one of the janitors at Bessey
swears that Fitzpatrick probably
has one of the most unusal sci
entific collections in the world.
The janitor said that at the be-
Ag departments
hold annual open
house Sunday
The third annual lamb and chick
"open house" will be held on ag
campus next Sunday from 1 until
4:30 p. m. The event in the past
two years has drawn upwards of
4,000 people.
More than 150 lambs will be
on exhibition that day in the sheep
barn on the northeastern part of
the campus. Included will be sev
eral sets of triplets as well as
many twin lambs.
Prof. M. A. Alexander of the
animal husbandry department 13
again in general charge of the

and his associates in the poultry
husbandry department together
with the poultry club is assisting

. . . janitor adds detail
ginning of the year, Fitzpatrick'3
office on the second floor of
Bessey was so crammed with
magazines, newspapers and other
material that you couldn't get to
his desk.
After a few months, the pro
fessor had filed away enough of
the material so that there was a
path through the articles to his
desk, but there still was a lot of
papers waiting to be filed, accord
ing to the janitor.
"Collects everthing."
Altho most botany staff mem
bers take the janitor's description
with a grain of salt, it is common
knowledge that Prof. Fitzpartrick
collects everthing dealing with
science and that his extensive col
lections include every phase of
science.
A retired staff member, he only
teaches one class in the history of
science but spends much time with
his collections and in the herba
rium. In addition, he has lectured
to first year biology students on
rare scientific books of which he
also has a large collection.
