DAILY NEBRASKA!!

After reading Sadie Hawkins'
Party Line of Sunday, I can only
Bay two things: (1) Sadie must
like the Alpha Phis and Alpha
Taus. (2) What's left for me
to put in today's column?
Since all the recent engage
ments, marriages and dates have
been enumerated, we bring you
this interesting bit of by-word
news. It has been the custom of
late for all the girls on third
floor social science to hang their
heads out the window on sunny
afternoons during classes and
watch the cadets drill. One par
ticular afternoon when the girls
were making rather more com
ments than usual besides laugh
ing and pointing, the first lieuten
ant in charge of the drill was no
ticed smiling very wickedly and
glancing up toward the windows
Suddenly, without warning, he
gave the command to about SO
cadets, "Eyes up!" Every cadet's
eyes met the flabbergasted stare
of every girl in the window. Now
the girls watch the teacher.
Soldiers Step Out.
Saturday night was the first
"soldiers night out since the Lin
colnette dance at the Union and it
looks like some of the smoother
cadets are already beginning to
operate. Four cadets lined up
dates with four Thetas who were
Kit Carson with Kenny Rose,
Kappa Sig from Uni. of Southern
Cal, Jerry Anderson and Jim Ma
lone, Sig Nu from USC (inci
dentally Jim is supposed to be
pinned to a Pi Phi from USC),
Peggy Roseborough and Del Le
vigne, Kap Sig, and "Butch" Win
ter and Bill Lutton, Kap Sig, both
from USC.
Military Story.
The competition between the
Fijis and ATOs will look like a
marble game compared to the in
evitable competition between the
engineers, artillery, air corps and
infantry when and if the ROTC
is activated. A group of ROTC
boys were discussing the relative
merits of the songs of each branch
of the army one evening while
John Jay Douglass looked forlorn
ly on.
One of the engineers started
singing the song that Colonel Lob
dell makes them practice the first
five minutes of every class period
and one of the artillery students
started singing his company song
while outside they heard the air
corps singing their song. When
they had finished John Jay looked
around him with a hurt expression
on his face, and said, "Golly, the
infantry doesn't have any song.
The only thing we can sing is
"Yankee Doodle Dandy."
Add the Aircrew.
If anyone saw Margy Munson,
Alpha Phi and Irene Hansen walk
ing around with rather big heads
the other day it was for this rea
son. While they were walking
past the library a group of march
ing cadets approached them and
started singing. "We're never too
busy to say hello, hello, hello. "
To break the monotony of next
week end the Alpha Chis are hold
ing an open house party. Dates
for the affair are: Nina Nix and
Dick Howell Beta. Mary Lou
Holtz and Hugh Atkinson, Beta,
and Marge Dolezal and Bob Pot
ter, Sigma ChL Margaret Cor
bitt, Alpha Chi, will take her new
steady La Verne Prang, DU.
Is steadies go we find Betty
Newman. DC and Bill Williams,
Beta, and Joyce Jirdon, DG, with
Wrede Smith, Kappa Sig.
Alpha Sigs Worry.
After making frequent trips to
Omaha, Alpha Sig pledge Dave
Buthman perturbed his brothers
by threatening to hang his pledge
pin on Omahan Jackie McMahill.
With no dance at the Turnpike
and all university functions can
celled, King's received most all
UN trade Saturday night Phi Delt

Spring has come all the way
around that corner that it has
been peeking around for several
weeks and with It came the urge
to play tennis and get the old bi
cycle oiled up and in shape for a
little outdoor riding.
Speaking of tennis, the univer
sity courts have not been put into
conditions because of the man
power shortage. The girls physical
education classes have been work-'
ing on them but there is still lots!
to be done and lots of help is
needed. Any one willing to lend a
hand will be appreciated.

The period, according to Dr.

conspicuous. Magnetic disurb

suade him to "go out with the fel
lows," celebrating their affiliation
with the navy. Birdie was plan
ninge to go to Omaha with his
pin mate Marge Heyn and an
other couple and was afraid to
fluff it off.
When the foursome had traveled
about five miles oi,t of Lincoln
on their way to Omaha Birdie
suddenly decided he would rather
go with the fellows and got out
of the car to hitch-hike back
home. Upon reaching Lincoln he
found to his consternation that the
fellows had all gotten dates so
he caught the train, went back to
Omaha and met his girl again.

The gals really had fun. All
shared germs, jokes, crackers, and
cigarettes. There were games of
baseball, truth and consequences,
hide-and-go-seek, and button, but

fully illuminating in seeing one's
friends devoid of everything ex

feelings could exist.
