Active canine choristers
in pharmacy
disturb classes in sosh

The campus must be going to
the dogs. That's what students
who have classes within shouting
distance of pharmacy are saying.
It's not general conditions
they're griping about. But dog
gone it, they objsct to the at
tempts of every dog to drown out
his brother dog as they all attempt
to have their day.
One student is reported to have
flunked an economics test at so
cial science yesterday, because he
let the bark of the dogs take his
mind from the bite of the test. Now
he is crying that a dog's bark is
worse than his bite.
Students say it isn't the noise
as much as the fascination of the
melody that the canine choir sings.
Every musical taste is satisfied.
Although the deep "bow-bow"
section is the strongest, the mel
low "arf-arfs" show up well with
their fine tone quality. The "woof
woof" group hold up nicely consid
ering their number, and the "grrs,"
generally well-balanced, have a
tendency to get off key. A few
cur sounds keep the choir from
perfection.
Meanwhile, students say they
prefer to hear choirs at church on
Sunday and professors in classes

trees to the dogs.
However, the situation has now
reached the point where unless
something is done, howling on
campus won't be limited to dogs.
Nebraska chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa will hold its annual initia
tion banquet today in the Union at
6:15 p. m. at which time the en
tire class of 39 new members will
be welcomed. The address will be
given by Dr. Raymond A. McCon

Following the dinner Dr. J. O.
Hertzler, of the sociology depart
ment, Prof. Dwight Krisch, of the
art department, and Marjorie Stuff

mony following the dinner.

Virginia BUchof and Marjorie Crandall; "A Joint"
by Betty Mueller; and "Soap Box Orator" by Juno

dances made the piece particularly striking.
"Studies in Pre-classle Form" was another
group of dances. Thui Included "Sarabande," with
Betty Mueller; "Gigue" with June Critchfield, and
Tassacagll",wiUi Betty Grota and, Betty Mueller.
