It

And the week continues with
the topic of conversation forever
centered on radios regularly
tuned to newspapers turned to
the pages on we, for two, are go
ing to forget it while we try to
scrap a little of this latest news
together to run competition with
the daily headlines. . .Candy pass
ing hits the rews again as it
happens most every Monday
night, but it s always new and dif
ferent. This time Janice Marshell
and Johnny Fitzgibbon treated the
Gamma Phis and the Farmhouse
...Two other Pi Phius that have
hit the steady list are Janet Hem
phill and Polly Parmele with Earl
Jenkins and DU Wally Munson,
respectively. . .
Congratulations to the new ac
tive Sigma Chis, Bob Mizera. Don
Davis, Paul Toren . . . Any girl in
terested in getting married im
mediately and settling down ap
ply and present character recom
mendations to Sig Alph Jim
Weesner. . . (This is one reaction
to the war!)... The King of
Hearts Ball is still along ways
away, but right now that's all we
hear besides . A combination
which goes everywhere and may
do something, if Dorothy's heart
isn't in the army where its -supposed
to be, is that of ACBC Jerry
Skoog and Towne Club Dorothy
Dworak.
More on the ball week-end:
Fiji Bill Long went to Chicago to
see the one love, and she per
suaded him to stay just a little
longer, until it was finally Tues
day till he got back for classes. . .
We keep seeing Acacia Burt Thiel
coking with Tri Delta Ruthie Iver
son, but it's purely business, or
so we're told. . .After meeting all
the men on the Nebraska campus,
we've decided that there are many,
manv of them who could qualify
for the contest the Mortar Boards
are giving to find the man with
the best line. . .someone's got to
enter. . .Seriously contemplating a
steadv combination are Roy Long,
Phi Gam. and Mary Helen Sin
clair. . .Alberta Hallam talked to
steady of last year Warren Jones
via the phone from California bun
dav niatit. . .People who listened
aii they made big plans... All's
well that prints well.

Debate Squad
Makes First
Appearance
Making their first public ap
pearance of the year, the varsity
debate squad will make two trip i
next week. On Dec. 16. a men's
and women's team will meet Has
tings college in Hastings and on
Dec. 18 a men's team will debate
Omaha university before the Oma
ha Kiwanis club.
On the girl's team which will
meet Hastings are Betty Newman
and Joyce Burke. They have the
negative side of the question. This
will mark the first time in the
history of the university that a
woman's team has made a debate
trip.
Bob Passer and Yale Gotsdiner,
upholding the affirmative, will
meet the Hasting's men's team
Interesting feature of this debate
is the fact that the present Has
tings debate head once coached
Gotsdiner and Passer in Council
Bluffs high school, and Nebraska's
present coach Laase comes from
Hastings college where he iri
struted the two boys who will
compete for that school on tin
16th.
Two sophomore debaters, Bill
Rist and Art Rivin, have been se
lected by Coach Laase to repre
sent the university in the Kiwanis
club debate. Rist and Rivin will
uphold the affirmative. The Oma
ha U. representatives won a tour
nament at Pittsburg, Kas., three
weeks ago.
None of the debates scheduled
for next week will be judged.

Morons Inherit
Earth Predicts
Colgate Prof
HAMILTON. N. Y.-The United
States is changing from a demo
cracy into a moronocracy, accord
ing to Dr. George H. Estabrooks,
Colgate university psychology pro
fessor. The professor views with alarm
the fact that the birthrate of mor
ons in America is two and a half
times greater than that of citizens
in the "above average intelligence"
group.
Dr. Estabrooks is even more
pessimistic about man in general,
his prediction being that the
human race will end in extinction
in from 1 to 10,00 years unless it
takes steps to correct the differen
tial birthrate and "the fatal ef
fects of modern medicine.'
"The moron is inheriting the
earth and the power of man's
physical machine is being lowered
continually thru weakness passed
on by individuals kept alive by the
doctor's magic." he said. "To cap
the climax, man has persuaded
himself that he alone in nature's
mill-ons of -species is not subject
to nature's laws. This flat contra
diction of the laws of heredity
is the insanity of sanity and from
nature's viewpoint, the unpardon
able sin."
