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.
Other officers chosen include
Marjorie Johnston, vice-president;
Marjorie Holmes, recording-secretary;
Dick Cast, critic; Betty
Toothaker, corresponding-secretary;
Ruth Riisness, historian and
Donald Dobry, program chairman.
New summer officers are
Charles Coale, chairman, and
Betty Toothaker, secretary.

one showing only Thursday, May

by Jean Giono, "Harvest" was
