Tuesday, May 12, 1942 Marlettc Is New Palladian Society Head (pink DAILY NEBRASKAN Jm In case you don't already know it, the present flood in and around ye ole' favorite picnic grounds, Penn Woods, is the best excuse we've found yet to cut class. Just say you are saving: the women and children... Newest attraction at the DU house these days is, surprisingly enough, not a DU but rather the two year old granddaughter of their housemother. It seems little Susan has really taken the place by storm .. .Newest news on the diamond front concerns the spark ler now being worn by Shirley Hoffman, Kappa, which she re ceived from army man and former Phi Psi, Rags Rydman .. .Unusual is the word for the candy-passing between Chick Fahnestock and Betty Evans which took place on a picnic, of all places, in fact the all day Palladian annual affair. Not Working for Defense. Despite the sugar rationing and the Monday British menus, Mr. Cupid put a crink in the plans by bringing candy to many of the houses. . .Among the numerous candy passings last night were two at the Pi Phi house. . .Joyce Junge had her basket fixed for the an nual Pi Thi picnic, which had to be postponed, but she brought it out anyway and passed out in dividual gingham bundles. Then the DUs came up with Bob Fer guson and they exchanged kisses ...Not long after, having con sumed their raison pie. the lights were turned out at the Pi Phi house, not a part of the rationing program, but so that the tiny lighted miniature stage, complete with curtains, stage lights and even a side door, showed up very well. When the curtains were pulled back the stage card an nounced that it was Nancy (Hay cock) and Max (Whittaker). Nancy was later the recipient of lots of Delt kisses and Max got plenty of affection just a couple of stage door kids... Donna Re croft, Towne club, passed the sweets at a real picnic at Antelope park. The guy is Johnny Kuhl man, Delta Sigma Pi. The bonds that tie started at a preivious pic nic... the Delta Sig spring affair. In the Future. A few events scheduled for the future include Towne club picnic tonight, DU spring party this Fri day at Broadview Country club, closed to all but the brothers, an nual dinner for the retiring Stu dent Union Board tonight and last but by no means least the huge and mammoth N-club Jamboree. No less than Tony Pastor will be playing, Genie Baird will take care ot the singing end. and there will be six beautiful coeds presented, one of whom will get the biggest honor ever to be bestowed at a university function, quote Bill Smutz, publicity chairman for the dame Intriguing is the story floating around about one Ruth Sloss, Alpha Chi, involving numerous long-distance phone calls, plus constant showerings of flowers and candy, and all from someone known only as Lester. Somewhere in the past there lurks a story about long rides in the country, but further information will have to be obtained from Ruth herself ...Glad to report the on again status of the steady deal between Ann Hastings, Theta, and Mark Hargraves, ATO; but we hope they are settled for sure thi3 time ...Congratulations on two new ATO pledges as of Sunday night, Bob Brown and Bill Korff . . . On the Sly. Recognition is due the ATO's for a practical joke that really succeeded and how. Saturday night the brave and hardy boys from next door invaded the Phi Gam dorm stealthily and installed in the center of the floor the Fiji's own lawn sprinkler. A mad dash out, a turn of the control, and dripping pandemonium reigned. Apparently it took some time before the source of the un expected shower could be found and the search is now on for the perpetrators of the deed. . .See ya, tomorrow. Ralph Marlette was elected to succeed Virginia Mutz as presi dent of the Palladian Literary So ciety for next year at the final business meeting of the semester last night.
