best of our chance. So put on your

Since this really Is Leap Year,

to marry her, we do take ad
vantage of this great privilege.
First, we have the subtle type.
"Tactful Tillie" spends hours be

and down in front of admiring or
critical eyes. Her conversation is
always about little domestic
things, like how well she can bake
a cake, or how she always makes
a bed with square corners.

Dr. Seabury, who is the fust
woman to receive an honorary de

Queen to reign over their ball

end of activities. Other functions
Included an open house and a
convocation.
Most spectacular event of the
weekend, as was revealed in a
1941 Nebraskan, was the annual
feud between the lawyers and en
gineers. The feud was started by
the lawyers. They moved a 3,000
pound combine, an exhibit of the
engineers, in front of the law
building and then covered it with
white wash. The engineers re
taliated by "turning the west end
of the campus into an omelet,"
having a fist to fist fight with
the lawyers and turning the hose
on them.
