When funnier things happen,
they'll happen at the Mortar Board
party... The Kappa Sigs were bit
ing their fingernails, pacing the
floor, worrying about Brothers Bob
Sinkey and Bill Flory who left
Saturday noon with their dates
and didn't return in time for
dinner Sunday noon... Did anyone
spot Alpha Chi Jean Holtz when
she called in place of pledge Ruth
Lund for Les Buckley, Phi Delt. . .
Jean was unrecognizable in her
gruesome make-up of pigtails,
freckles, and blacked-out teeth...
Kappa Sig Johnny Miller didn't en
list a day too soon, for his draft
papers arrived right after he took
the big step... "And a good time
was had by all" to quote the at
tenders of the Towne Club Christ
mas party... The Phi Phis seem
to be getting more than their share
of candy... Last night Georgia
YW Asks Organized Houses
To Cooperate in Toy Drive
Santa Claus may visit some needy Lincoln families this year
if the YWCA freshman cabinet gets the support of the students
on the campus. A call for toys, food, clothes, or money has been
issued by the cabinet which ask3 that the different sororities and
organized houses take the responsibility of collecting within each
house.
In previous years the cabinet has distributed boxes to each
house to be filled but to save time the new system is being used.
Houses will bo canvassed this week but any contribution may be
left at Ellen Smith. Collections will be made Thursday from all
houses and the toys will be distributed to the various welfare Or
ganizations in the city.
Swallow passed the sweety, with
her Sigma Nu of Colorado Kenny
White receiving the usual "Con
grats" from the sisters. . .Sigma
Nu Marley Wolf appears to be
more than interested in DeeGee
pledge Kay Detweiler, and vice
versa .. .which makes that deal
minus any complications...
At Last.
We've known this for some time,
but due to those things people call
ethics, we had to keep it quiet
now it can be told Leatrice Holley
and Don Little are going steady
..Ain't that something ?. .Happy
is no word for it! when the light
of one's life drops In for a week
end as did l3u Wayne Denning to
see Marydean Lawler, Kappa
Delta. .Someone just came up and
told us out of a blue sky that Sig
Alph Randall Salisbury bought a
new St. Bernard dog... They
seemed to think it's important...
Pin-hanging last Friday that we
missed in the rush was that of
ATO Jim Critchfield and Alpha
Phi Pat Herminghaus and she's
had his pledge pin too, now it can
be told. .Saw an interesting couple
coking in the Union, and it hap
pens often with Kappa Sigma'a

meeting in room 110 Nebraska
hall.

Chris Peterson and Delta Gamma's
Jane Emery...
People Study Evenings.
The Delt's don't seem to realize
that people study evenings. . .they
take mass excursions to town and
the domicile of Kappa Eloise Rog
ers.. Tri Delta Janet Johnson isn't
worrying about blackouts and is
going to California come holly
time to visit pin-mate Bob Ruby,
Delt, who's in some sort of defense
work... The Phi Delt Christmas
party promises to be a good thing
this year as it always is... Don
Quinn's coming from St. Joe just
to celebrate with Theta Marian
Lynch, and Nels Butterworth will
be squiring Theta Marge Christen
sen...Bob Deviney and Herb Von
Goetz, those two Casanovas of the
gridiron, are open to suggestion . . .
And so... All's well that prints
well. . .

THE CLOTHESLINE
Much Ado
Around ami about on Ihe campus as the
Chilian' make ready for the Yulelide festivi
ties and that fine breather session which
takes up this Saltiday to last a full fort
night. There are Xmas parties of all sorts,
gifts, and last minute dates before the va
cation plus the usual run of usual classes
which keeps you and yours as busy as the
proverbial truant officer for a reform
school.
And there's nothing nicer than curling
up in a big easy chair before a blazer in the
old fireplace to just sort of let life run along
as it will on these snowy cold days. And
they are moments to be cherished in these
busy days for they are few and so far be
tween. But every bubble of please is eventually
intruded upon and shattered. All of which
causes us to ask why the Awgwan couldn't
wait until after this pleasant period to
barge in upon a school population quite
wrapped up in the spirit of the appreciation
of 1 lie finer things.
For Hours
Of pleasant enjoyment we have two current
best sellers from Ixrng's Nebraska Book
Store on our gift list. We don't know what
they are yet for it's hard to make a choice
from, that huge counter of new and thrill
ing novels offered at Long's, selected to
cater to and suit the tastes of even the most
fickle reader.
Such people as Cornhusker editor Shir
ley Russell have already made their selec
tions for they know that a lasting ami
pleasant gift such as the novels offered at
Long's will go far towards making any
one's Christmas a happy one.
All wise shoppers have novels from
Long's on their gift list.
A Mortar Board
Reversal that was really a reversal was that
of Jean Fisher and Delt Dick Child. . . .
Seems she called for him last Sattiday eve
only to find the lad took a powder. ... Se
rious complications set in and continued to
plague the little lady until she found Rich
ard had been unnecessarily detained in
Omaha. . . . All's well that ends well and
they say this pow-wow did end well. . . .
They have hitching plans, you know, for
sometime so soon, but that 's sailing pretty
close to a rocky reef.
Basking
In the glory of new life in the up and com
ing style world of hats for milady is the
exclusive new pill box creation destined to
be a sensation in any smart wardrobe. Tak
ing its cue from the predominant military
motif, this eye catcher can be found in all
high colors which add that so necessary ele
ment of brightness for campus wear. See
them tomorrow when you stop at Simon's
on your Christmas shopping tour. With the
price t $1.2.", your purse will like this crea
tion, too.
You'll Find
The key to a treasure chest of gifts at Ben
Simon's and Sons. Those huge counters hold
a wealth of gift material for father, mother,
brother, sister, and the oilier half of your
pinned combination.
We like to do our shopping at Simon's
because their gift wise clerks are happy to
have your Christmas present problems be
come theirs. Long experience and a thor
ough knowledge of common desires on their
part will help you to choose a gift that is

Lincoln via the finest group of gifts that
Simon's have ever assembled! Everywhere
at Simon's you find the feeling that has
sent the light of Christmas shining down
through the years. It's a Merry Christmas
to vou all. . . .
Tjtve at First Sight?
Well, lean back and chuckle, Elmer, cause
here's a caustic comment that shut one lad
off like a kitchen faucet. . . . Kappa Sig
Bobbie Sinkey queried Dee Gee Tat Cole
the other eve "Wbere'd I .first meet you?"
. . . Came the reply "On a golf course, don't
you remember! It was love at first sight
and you called me for a date a month and
a half afterwards!" . . . Big op, eh!
A Verbal Orchid
To the Student Union managers and the
school of music for the Yuletide organ re
citals and Christmas carols in the main
lounge each day at 12:20 and 4:30. It'll be
a high spot in your school day to stop in
for a few minutes and listen to the music
that does much to instill that old spirit in
the soul.
A session that should definitely be on
your entertainment docket is the annual
Union Christmas party Thursday eve. It's
your chance to have all the fun and refresh
ments "on the house" and for entertain
ment, there's aplenty for everyone. High
spots on the program tab the popular adap
tation of Dickens' famous story "The
Christmas Carol" and community caroling
in the lounge at 9 o'clock. Topping this
swell party will be the free cokes and eats
at the end of the evening.
And for those lunches this week, watch
your menus for the many Christmas specials
that will be there every day. You'll think
Santa Claus has arrived early when you
seek out the neat combinations there.
Before we quit, we want to venture a
pertinent query. We keep noting a clever
little chap in various bland positions
sprawled across menus, standing in the cor
ner on signs and all over everything in gen
eral that has to do with the Union. Who
can he be and from whence did he come!
Maybe you have an idea. Check it for
yourself.
Sig Nu
Clifton "Blossom" Bloom, the rare-tear"
from out Wyoming way, has been perma
nently shunned by Kappa Kady Wells and
has been spending all his spare time check
ing into the past and present of Alpha Phi
Barbara Morehouse. . . . He's going to give
her a chance.
The Gift Problem
Which plagues the befuddled shopper each
season will be quickly solved at Gardner's
Jewelry store where such striking and ex
clusive silver patterns as the King Richard
satisfy the tastes of smart shoppers. And
let Gardner's gift wise clerks show you
their many other gift suggestions thatare
as thrilling to give as to receive. A gift from
Gardner's is the gift this season 1
