Tuesday, May 20, 1941 4 DAILY NEBRASKAN 1 1 1 1 1 1 with Mary Adelaide Hansen j 1 4 -oj KampuA. Last chance for many houses, last night brought its usual quota of candy passings, and the Kappas hit the jackpot with two of these grand affairs. Mimi Cramer almost scooped her own column when she and Bob Aden did honors, but rot with the traditional form of sweets. The Kappas got a huge cake with two small figures, dressed as a Mortar Board and as an Innocent, speaking for them selves. And the Betas got some thing extra with their cigars, cute personal match folders, while the Kappas had them with cigarettes. Sharing the spotlight with Mimi was Jeannette Zimmerer, who in vited the ATOs over to celebrate her affair with Bill Golding. Those honking DVs made another weekly jaunt down sorority row, to stop at the Alpha Phi house. Avery Forke and Dot Askey were the favorite couple, but the DUs, not satisifed with one cigar apiece, somehow carried big Forry Behm over to the Theta house to douse him for not making that pin of Alpha Phi Betty Groth the occasion for a double celebra tion. Forry, of course, broke loose and "an amok" with the hose, thoroughly soaking many "inno cent DU bystanders" in retaliation. Then the Phi Belts trooped down 16th street, with Dick Hiatt in the lead, to the Chi O house for the second week in suc cession. Jean Carnahan was the lucky gal. The Sigma Nus and the dorm were also treated by Jim Jones and blonde Grace Lead ers, while the Sigma Chis and AOPis celebrated with Jane Pratt and Al Lefferdink. Phi Gams, irate that Gus Swanson and Fiji-Tau Sweetheart Phyl Anderson had not "done right by them," collected Phyl from the Theta house and escorted her out to Capital Beach to see Gus do his dozen lengths in the swimming pool. Congratulations to the newly elected officers oC Delta Upsilon. President, Wallace Munson; steward, Jack McPhail; vice president, George Royal; sec retary, Paul Englehart; correspon dent secretary, Kd Geeseman; and business managers, Don Younsf, Roger Anderson and Miles Hilde-brand. Sunday saw hung his on his home town sweet heart. We might also mention the purported pinhanging between Delt Chuck Shubert and Alpha Phi Mary Bird. The brothers have been threatening him with dire dousings if he isn't wearing it, so if you see him with his pin, don't be fooled by seeming pla tonism. And Alpha Chi Dotty Wind is now proudly showing off a jew eled pin given her by ATO Bob Windle. Rave notes are heard from Delt Bob Ruby as far as Tri Delt Janet Johnson is concerned. And have you heard the story that Shirley "Dimples" Russell is going steady with ATO Bob Schlater, despite the neg ligible detail that they've never had a date! Another queen is off the eligible dating list, for beaute ous Marge Stewart, Alpha Chi, has decided to give ATO Ed But ler exclusive option on her dating time. In Colgate magazine . . . Seniors propose annual gift to college-a war memorial ... to those about to lots of entertainment, both To be added planned and 'spontaneous. The Betas, for example, entertained sisters and daughters at a dinner at the house, while many other groups took advantage of the fine picnic weather to stage little ex cursions to some, of the local swimmin' holes. to the rapidly growing list of June brides is ChiO Mildred Gordon, who'll take the fatal step with Carl Frederickson down at Fort Robinson. Nominated as the For example, at South Bend were Kappa Jean Elam and Beta Stan Huffman, brother G. Emerson Souders with DG Betty Perry,, Ann Thomas with Phi Delt Bill Fox, and mobs of other people. And the Theta picnic brought up some new and unusual dating combinations, nonetheless enthusiastic, such as Lila Waring and Phi Delt Less Buckley, and Phyl Shaw with Delt Buck Jones. Another happy combination that's equaling the frequent dating of Will Folsom and DG Margie Ann Buttman was Wanda Seaton and Phi Psi Bill Pugsley. More new pins sprouting on the campus include those disclosed at the AGR sweet heart dinner Sunday, such as Wil lis Skrdla and Betty Jeanne Spaulding, John Schick and Fran ces Hans, and Kenneth Paulman ideal boy friend ls ATO Bob Jung man. He dropped out of the ATO procession to the candy passing at theh Kappa house last night to buy dorm sweetheart Annie Jones a gardenia and give it to her in person, instead of trotting duti fully over to congratulate Jeanette Zimmerman. That's real devotion! (Editor's note: The following ar ticle first appeared in the Colgate Maroon in a column, "The Hill and the Plain," by James C. Cleveland. It has since been called a signifi cant item in judging the current temper of American college youth. Out of the revelry of the senior class beer party last Friday night there has come an idea too tragic for laughter, too symbolic to be overlooked, too clever to be ig nored. The idea came from the brilliant mind of Bob Blackmore, Phi Beta and draftee-elect for the month after a date that once spelled for him the beginning of life and a chance for happiness anil success. The idea has met with approval of varying degrees from every senior I have talked to. The idea has had suggested revisions yet still stands original, penetrating and overwhelmingly expressive. The ideals not bitterly partisan, nor hopelessly resigned. It has the saving grace of acceptance yet at the same time poignant indict ment. The idea voices college youth of 1941 as I have never heard it voiced before. It is college youth of 1941. The idea has to do with our senior class gift. It is simply that the gift this year shall be a sum of money to erect at a suitable oc casion a fitting memorial to the first member of our class killed in the war. Suggestions. Added suggestions have poured in. For example it has been sug gested the memorial be to the first conscientious objector thrown in jail. Others have said it should be to all members of the class killed. Restrictions have been sug gested the member must be killed in action, or perhaps in this hemi sphere. Terhaps the money shouldn't be wasted and some fund started but named for the first casualty. And so it goes. P.ob Blackmore, who started it all, just shrugs his shoulders. He is still going to be called up in July for an army that he feels may well be misused. He started the idea he says as a joke. Many people would like to think that's all it is, a joke. Perhaps administration pressure will reduce the idea to just that, & joke. But to me and many, many more, the idea is not a joke. It Is college youth of 1941, making a humble and unheeded plea to what is left of sanity in the country today. The title, "Grand Duke of Yuca tan" was conferred on Dr. E. K. Turner, professor of Latin at Emory university, 36 years ago by descendant of Maximilian.
