In The Face . . . Members of Ihe Innocents' society who sponsored 1 he homecoming scrap drive, dropped their 1eelh yesterday when they read the story of "Scrap Which Is Not Found in Frat Piles7' which appeared in a local news paper yesterday. According to the story, Sheriff Myles Hol loway has been kept busy for a few days at tempting to track down scrap which really was not scrap hut useful articles which farm ers in the surrounding area wanled to keep. The Innocents were not notified of this situa tion and learned about it thru screaming bead lines, which incidentally made the University of Nebraska look like a reform school. Quite naturally, the Innocents regret any such action on the part of either fraternity or sorority Women who participated in the drive, but according to the slory it was insinuated that all material mising from these farms was taken by members of these groups on this campus. There is no actual proof for this in sinuation. Did the sheriff ever find the lost articles in the fraternity scrap piles? According 1o Ihe story, a few of Ihe articles were recovered but no mention was made whether the majority of the articles were found in fralcrnity piles. No consideration was given to the fact that much of this stolen material might be found in some scrap pile not on the campus. The Innocents' socicly had a good idea. The drive was successful. If the authorities found some groups misusing the privileges as scrap collectors, the Innocents would have ap preciated some sort of notice of the vandalism. It seems bad business all the way around that the authorities merely arc notified of rniss- Well, another day, and here I am again. Sure seems like a long time since 1 got to tell you about me and Callie so I will tell you some of the details now. Callie and me sure have been having a swell time. I went with her to the llamelletic meeting the other day and boy is that ever a place no respect able man should show his face and probably no respect able worn an eit her. They just sit there aid wait for a signal from some babe up in front who puts up one finger if you vote yes and two if you are to vote no on all the stuff they bring up at ihosc meetings over in Helen Jones hall. Reminds me of the time when I used to go to grade school in the lower grades when you held up one or two fingers according to which it was, and then got excused from class for five min utes to take care of it. Well, ai'n-r tin; llamelletic meeting Callie and me strolls over to the Union 1 don't know why everybody calls it the Union be cause they never hold a Union meeting like my old man goes to back in Uinkville because he is one of the members of local Union 210 of garbage collectors. Well, anyhow me and Caliie walks into the CI rill which is the name they give to the same thing as the corner drug store in Pinkville only they ain't got modi eene and stuff like that but they have got strawberry sodas, me and Callie went in there to buy a root beer. When we walked into the Grill all the boys really give Callie the once over. She sure does attract men like that. Just like some girls who my frat brothers said live down on the corner of 1 and li street attract em. ah during the time while me and Callie is sipping our slrawbcry d rinks all ihe boys keep look in n- f.i Tirr mid ivin? her the slare. 1 think '" .. ...... , mvt 1 will have 1o smack all of 1hem that looks at her like that and whoi I men tioned 1 should do that to them, Callie saa nr.ir.T- vmn.1 li 1 f bflVC lllCnl StaTC i her. YLujUL By Hob MoNutt Lying flat on my back under tree behind Administration, I thought of more things that have happened here at dear old uxn. Seems to me the boys and girls on this campus never Know me humor that runs around Sosh and the Union alone. One of the most appropriate ouips came from John Bottom who was lunching with Theta Marion Lynch in the Com Crib: 'Arc you the guy who took our order?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I be damned you don't look a day older." The Alpha Xi Delts went into huddle the other day and de cided to punt. As a result, Bob Lynn landed in the arms of Ann Jacobs for Friday night, but a fumble occurred on the play and Steamboat" Fulton recovered for a date on Saturday night. It has been rumored that over the porch light switch in the Theta house hangs this reminder: "The dimmer the porch light, the greater the scandal power." Jack Rokahr stood up at dm ing articles which have iot been located in fra ternilv scran piles, give that story 1o a loea rancr who make a big issue of the situation and incidentally bring some bad publicity 1o 1he university when Ihe situation might have been more thoroly investigated by the lnno eenls and a thoro, accurate report made. What this university needs is more sup nr.rt frnm I.inncoln authorities and a certain Lincoln newspaper. USICUHOUS for only $2.20 you can have an entire year of fun and entertainment. ESaay a UND.

As they raised their glasses, he spoke in a deep tender voice, Heres to the nappy days; any fool can have fun at night." Wednesday morning when the trig class slowed down a bit, I asked Jean Nordstrom how she got to be so smart "Remember," she answered, "a smart girl is one who can make her complexion taste as good as it looks." Since the candy-passing oc curred between Jackie Jones and Bill Thomas he has been voted the most kissable man on the campus, much to the chagrin of those nominating George Abbott. John Bauermeister came up to me the other day with this state ment: "You've had some things in your column that stink to high heaven, but let me tell you a real poem on what happened to me when I took out a new Pi Phi pledge who, I thought, didn't know all the answers, but She stroked my hair; she held my hand. , The lights were dim and low.
