DAILY NEBRASKAN

Introducing"
Somebody told me thnt if I
wrote the society column for the
Rag, I'd either have to be a Carton
Brodcrick with all the BW-BM3 on
the campus side licks (my wounds
being sort of deep from the few
Jabs I supposedly shall receive
from those campus cut-ups upon
whose reputational toes I may
chance to step) or a J.idge Mason
or a Mary Louise Goodwin with
tied and two sisterhoods behind
me, the second being the gals in
the black and yellow capes whom
all you freshmen women met at
the chancellor's reception.
But I am not Cartie, not Jldge,
not Goody. I am an entirely new
and surprising personality. In fact
1 was just born two days ago.
To be completely frank with
you, I am a man. Actually. I am
a student more or less during
final exam week. I am 4F but
that was a surprise to me since
I have left foot and a bad flat
eyesince last night. Confiden
tially my great uncle on the draft
board told me that the only reason ;
the great white father at Wash-!
ington accepted my application for j
tleferment was because the army
preferred a blind man with a de
gree to one without.
But really girls, I'm a nice
steady fellow and I'm availabl
most anytime. When I tell you,
"Gorgeous, you're the most beau
tiful thing in this room!" I me:
it. I'm not like that weaver or;
the four diamonds on each shou!-1
tier who spent the time between 1
S:30 and 7:15 last Friday night j
:.nging over the back of a Grill
r. at and talking to the blonde in I
t lie yellow sweater. Yep, I mean
it- a the moment. I
Speaking of the Grill, seems to
be a favorite "I'm T. J. Porter, '
New York. You re that redhea-1
I've been watching from tha libo
window! How would you like to
do the town Saturday night?" Or
just "Porter. Redhead. Saturdaj
night?"
Why,;' you women don't even
have a' 'chance to look at the guy
with that languid smirk you'vi
been practicing all summer, and
say, "No thank you sweetly." I
mean, "No thank you." Sweetly
is the adverb modifying you. Now
when I ask you after a respectable
15 minutes of conversation,
"How's about a trip to the cin-a-maw
Saturday night?" you can
look at me with that Ah'"'
discard me like you would
broken coke straw, ant knu.
I'll be back for more punishment
a day or bo later.
Society is a sort of slssified
thing for a man to be writing, but
when I applied for the job, J was
well aware of the sacrifice I was
making. A staff full of women
rnand me! Yeh, that would have
'wen fine only the editor, Marjorle
.May, who looks like one of her
freshmen reporters instead of a
Mrs. as of three months ago, said,
"Incognito and out of the office,
bud, or no column."
"OK," said I, "no column."
But then I remembered how I'd
promised to tell all the girls that
Bob Henderson, only Innocent left
on the campus and Cornhusker
business manager, is free again.
Mary Louise Miles, Tri Delt, and
he finally decided to call it quits
for good this time. This, however,
has hapened before.
Another news bit revolves about
Betsy Wright, Alpha Chi O, who
acquired a diamond from Lt. Nate
Hoi man of Kort McClellan, Ala.,
during the holidays.
Diamonds are apppearing In
such quantities nowadays, no
peacetime method of recording
them is adequate. Watch this col
umn for a new, unique, stupendous
way of bringing to you the latest
results of the current racket dia
mond digging.
