"Once I had a girlfriend, her name was Sophie Glutz.
She loved me and I loved her. We lived on cigar butts.
Some people think I'm crazy, some people think I'm nuts,
They're sure of everything but me."
JShhhh! I just escaped from a lunalie asylum. I came to
the university because I beard about the Mortar Hoard party
and 1 knew 1 would feel right at home there.
They tell me the Mortar Board party is nuttier than the
booby hatch 1 came from. My spies are everywhere and they
inform me that at the Black Masque party Saturday night the
girls escort the fellows and that 's delightfully unconventional.
But that isn't all. The girls bring their dates to the dance
on skates, pogo sticks or on horseback and in sleighs, wheel
barrows or in the pocket of a kangaroo. We never had this
much fun at the nut house!
We Like Post Office!
At the affair they have picnics on the dance floor, play
hopscotch and post office and chsse those green and purple
gnomes right up the side of the wall and across the ceiHng.
And a little bird told me that the fellows wear so-called cor
sages such as a three-foot headdress, a cactus with a banner,
"Now, who's stuck?", a prisoners' hat with a ball and chain,
fruit baskets, neon lights, wigs, underwear over their suits or
baby bonnets.
The dance, with Sternie Sternberg and his band, will be
held at the coliseum so that we'll have plenty of room to run
and play., The girls will go unconventional again by present
ing their secret passions in the form of the six eligible bache
lors. The price is fl.2." a couple and that's less than we used
to charge for our hocdowns at the Bideway Home and Sana

Spotlighting the Cornhuskers of
Nebraska on his "Nebraska for
Victory" program this evening at
6 o'clock over radio station WOW

vanians will play tunes recently
selected by UN students.
His "Pleasure Time" program

college or University is written on
a theme of music for victory.
Daily Runs Poll.
Several weeks ago, the Daily co
operating with Waring ran a poll
on the campus to determine the
four tunes that the students want
ed to hear his play. As the result
of that poll, the orchestra leader
will conduct his orchestra in four
selections that received the most
votes.
Those chosen are "Abraham,"
"Beyond the Blue Horizon," "Can't
Get out of This Mood, and "Dear
Old Nebraska U." The last piece
named was the one written by
Waring himself after a number
of students had signed a petition
asking him to do so.
Song Presented.
The song was presented formal
ly to the university in May, 1940.
Besides playing the tunes that
students desire there will also be
a tribute to Nebraskas contribu
tion to the war effort
