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.

Coeds Work, Study, Have
Fun at Cooperative House
BY RUTH CHATTERTON.
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

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.

American Inventions.
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. His own activities have
been so varied that he is in a
unique position to understand and
report on all phases of science.
He has been a research professor,
dean, university research adminlif.
trator, director of one of Amer
lea's largest endowed laboratories,
director of research for several im
portant industrial laboratories,
president of his own company,
scientist in the government serv
ice, as well aa an author and
