Qfoatu fiidsAAm,
Forty-eight hours have passed
since you last glimpsed this jour
nalistic miscarriage. Since that
time you've grown 48 hours nearer
to death. All of which should put
you in the mood for what is to
com?.
Triple Delta Marion Dooley and
Sig Ep Jay Hoffman are rumored
to be a bit on the "outs" by inhabi

Facetiously Informed ...
Students Select Johnny
Cox's Band for the Prom
... But lls Slill a Jlyslery
By Jean Baker.
We didn't find out who the
majority of Nebraska students had
figured out would be the "mys
tery" band for the forthcoming
Junior-Senior Prom, but we did
discover the hidden depths of fa
cetiousness lurking in virtually
three-fourths of the frequenters of
the Union grill. When queried as
to their opinion, so many people
answered "Johnny. Cox" that we
finally stopped asking in despair.
Some few worthy people, how
ever, deigned to answer seriously,
among which was Barbara More
house who chose Will Biadley be
slie had a "big hunch.' Art Lin
coln picked on Little Jack Little
because "he is the only one on both
lists according to my figuring."

places at which Spivak has played
as well as "various hints that have
been dropped."
Hot on Spivak and Little's trails
was the name of Alvir-a Ray who
drew tie votes of Miv Kennedy
and Jean Donley. The former
would say no more tnan "I just
think so," but the latter had de
duced "it is such a secret it has to
be good, so I choose Ray."
Several people had hoped and
prayed for Jan Savitl, especially
since he fit the description given
out so perfectly, but rumor of en
gagements elsewhere on the same
night has discouraged such people
as Dean Nutzman and Dorothy
Carnahan.
Marcy Bauer picked Krankie
Masters as she figured "he is just
