Comes Out of Year's Hibernation
Stencils Its Skull and Crossbones
Stalking: the midnight air to
carry on a tradition well-established
on thia campus, members of
TNE, national secret society, after
almost a year of inactivity, sten
ciled their weird insignia on the
walks leading up to houses on
fraternity and sorority row Wed
nesday night.
When the skull and cross bones
of Theta Nu Epsilon appeared on
campus buildings and fraternity
and sorority houses last year,
members of the fraternity were
forced to pay a $400 cleaning bill
for having the insignias removed.
Supervisor of the removal of the
paint jobs was Dean Thompson,
who threatened every member of
the fraternity with suspension
from the university if the bill was
not paid.
At the beginning of last year,
Dean Thompson issued the warn
ing, "They'd better behave them
selves this year." This year the
dean, informed for the first time
yesterday afternoon by the Daily
Nebraskan that the subs rosa or
ganization had been operating
Wednesday night, stated that he
did not wish to comment on the
activity.
With the exception of the sign
on an advertising billboard in
front of the Union, the insignia of
the fraternity did not appear on
any university property.
The recommendation adopted by
the Board of Regents in June of
1940 regarding the painting of
signs and insignia on university
premises specifies, ". .' . that ail
insignia produced with any ma
terials on university property and
sidewalks adjacent thereto is to
be discontinued, except such an
nouncements on blackboards in
chalk as are approved by the op
erating superintendent."

students of the university except
for the rolling of the boiler sheets.
However, the boiler sheets were
cut and assembled by the stu

the locomotive has some 660 parts.
The boiler is expected to hold 100
lbs. of pressure, and it will cre

Caps Arrive
At Simon's
Long-awaited freshmen bean
ies and caps have arrived and
may be secured with the pre
sentation of the official Inno
cents tickets at Ben Simon and
Sons. Anyone wishing the
headgear, but not possessing
the ticket, should get in touch
with Paul Svoboda at the Daily
Nebraskan office.
Svoboda expressed the regret
of the Innocents Society con
cerning the late arrival of the
caps but said "due to the priori
ties imposed by national defense
we could not possibly have re
ceived them sooner."
