4 DALY NEBRASKAN Friday, February 19, 1943 WcnidH I By Bob McIMutt J This week end will see the mi gration to the university of one of the oldest of farm community functions the box Bocial. Out in Colby, Kansas (no cracks) we were accustomed to celebrating in this fashion at least once a week. Of course things were different then. You could bid ten bushels of corn on the cob for a beautiful box, then while you ate the food from the box you could watch some buxom, black-toothed gal eat the corn off the cob thru a picket fence. That's why those Colby so cials were such, a success; food and entertainment at the same party. Since these socials have been such a success in the past I sin cerely hope that the participating sororities and fraternities have successful parties on Friday and Saturday nights. Morrie Will Try. Bidding should be spirited when Morrie Dingwell tries to keep Nor rie Anderson from getting Kay Detweilers food; while Bob Miller wishes he were sure of winning out with Cappy Kellogg. ' The Theta Phi Psi social should become just a little rough, but the rest should settle down to a nice quiet evening of making money for the WSSF and getting Ronnie Metz to smile again. Adding to a big week end will be the Alpha Xi Delta "formal" to be held at the Cornhusker Friday night. It wil be the last celebra tion together for some particular boys and girls. Men are Leaving. Betty Klingel and Jean Wochner are losing Jack Knicely, Delta Sig and Dale Brockmeier, Farm House, to the air corps. Dorothy Mohr and Carol Gawer will be there too, but Jim Wright, Phi Gam and Marion Hendricke are not leaving for anything. The Sig Eps will make most of their contributions to the WSSF fund when Boden Portwood and Kenny Ackerman try to separate Dorothy Black from the rest. Of course Bart Baker will try to let someone else get his wife's (former Dorothy Miller) cooking for a change. Just Like Elmer. A small barb gentleman with a loud mouth just ba '.ed me into a corner and asked me why I couldn't be original like Elmer Sprague. I told him that I was writing a column to amuse and antagonize people, not to make a great literary figure of myself. He says, 'The first is possible, the latter impossible, so it's all right with me and the boys if you go ahead," and then walked off in a huff. So now I'll throw away my humor magazines and settle down to the old grind. Looks like John Baulware, Sig Chi, won't be the same till he finds out what cute little Alpha Chi he has on a negative of a picture he took. He's afraid to develop it now for fear it will be someone who's tied up with another guy.

There's a story to be told about Howard Hall. It is one of the nicest places on the campus for girls to stay a place that the girls are happy and proud to call "home" during their college days. Those living there all agree?, though, that the thing that makes Howard Hall such a wonderful place are the eighteen girls who stay there. This compatable group of girls are certainly an example of how WSSF . . . (Continued from Page 1.) with the help of the WSSF. Brit ish prisoners in Germany and Italy are receiving books, paper, pens, even instructors, to contin ue the education interrupted by the war. WSSF relief covers students In 14 countries and on five conti nents. The goal this year is $300, 000, one-third of which must be raised by colleges and universities. Co-op houses will participate in the WSSF drives this week end through box socials. The Pioneer co-op and Cornhusker co-op will hold their function with Love Memorial Dormitory, and Howard hall and the Brown Pal ace co-op will share boxes. Both socials will be held Saturday night. to make the most out of life at col lege, by studying, working ,and playing at the proper times. They all agree that what you get ac complished during the day de pends upon how efficiently you arrange your time. All 18 girls, besides going to school, have jobs in Lincoln. Maintain Requirements. There are certain requirements of the girls who live in Howard Hall. The girls must be either juniors or seniors, have at least an 80 average, and an excellent character. Last year Howard Hall rated highest of all the or ganized houses on the campus in scholarship. This was quite an honor and the girls are doing their best to reach the top again this year. One of the things that makes Howard Hall seem like home to the girls Is that they all take turns in doing the housecleaning. By doing this they reduce their board and room bill to $22 a month. Making bandages for the Red Cross, working on the war coun cil, and selling defense stamps are the major war activities to which the girls devote their time. Dancing is their favorite form of recreation; so the girls have exchange dinner-dances with the other co-op houses. Wench . .

Dr. Wendt points out that nearly all modern instruments of war are American ideas, including the steel warship, the modern rifle, the tank, the submarine, bomb-sight, super-charger, the airplane, and the machine gun. As science editor of Time ma gazine and former as editor of national journal published by the American Chemical Society, it is Dr. Wendt's job to keep in touch with scientific and indus trial progress in all parts of the world.
