DAILY NEBRASKAN
(pbiL
The wind blew, the snow flew,
and in walked Gaskell bearing
turbulent talcs from the far cor
ners of a cold choked campus.
Gaskell was having a poor day,
need we tell you that we too have
a poor day? Read 'em and weep
Chillun.'
The Farm House boys tossed
Gaskell some chatter on the big
tussle out at their adobe Monday
eve. The deal was a free-for-all
over which room should have cher
ished possession of the traditianal
school bell that is as old as the
chapter itself. The bell rests to
day in the Bull room due to the
athletic prowess of old Innocent
Harold Bacon who, clad in pa
jamas, chased a fleeing pledge
around the block to capture the
prize of war. Shiver me timbers!
Some Stuff.
Then there's FBK Timothy Hig
gins who came to roost in the
grill the other day to discuss in
an ultra scholarly manner the rub
ber shortage and its effects on the
girdle market. . .Beta Bobby Mun
son will be deserting the old Marty
Palmer environment this weekend
lor the fertile and interesting field
that is KKG Eloise Rogers. . .We'll
go out on a limb and predict that
"Dad " Bob Flory out at the Kappa
Sig hut gives cigars to brothers
this coming Monday eve... Dee
Gee prexy Jodie Beltzer is his con
stant companion, you know...
Innocent DU Wilkins
Mark well, ye gorehounds, the
"I got it good, and that ain't
bad" relationship between Inno
cent DU Hugh Wilkins and Pa
tricia Henry. For the sake of
convenience we'll call this a steady
deal and then begin to wonder
when the hunk of jewelry will be
hung... Don't try to get a coke
in the Union before 3 in the after
noon cause it just can't be done.
Priorities and all that sort of thing
you know... Alpha Xi Fern Ber
gien and Foo Gamma Claude
Wright did that trite thing with
the sweets and tobacco Monday
eve... This session is done.

Sigma Chi Starts
New Student
Defense Scheme
Members of Sigma Chi have in
troduced a new way of making
patriotism practical on this camp
us. Four weeks ago, they adopted
a new "penny a day" Bcheme.
Every day each fellow deposits his
penny in the bank on the mantel
in the house.
When the bank is full, as it fre
quently is, the money is used to
buy national defense bonds. This
"penny a day" idea is a new ex
ample of student participation in
the civilian defense efforts.

The picture was given its pre
mier in November, 1922, at the

plot are such things as an old
fireplace, with the bake-oven
bricked up, a murder-pantomime
in the moon-lit living room and
but that's all for now the cur
tain goes up at 8 o'clock sharp on
the Temple stage for "Ladies in
Retirement" tonight.

Flicker Show
. . . Sunday Evening
immediately caught the imagina
tion of the world. The memory of
the Hying figure of the hero still
remains so vivid to the theater
goer that this adventurer type of
role is assigned to Douglas Fair
banks, Jr., by popular demand.
Done in the usual style of Union
flicker shows, this will be a two
hour session complete with pop
corn, peanuts, and pianist Ross
Gibson. Identification cards are
requested.
