TNEs Inform Du Teau
Campus of Existence
The Ivy Day audience wondered
what was happening last Satur
day when Ellsworth Du Teau,
alumni association secretary, re
ceived a package up on the Coli
seum itage during the Mortar
Board masking. Someone in the
audience yelled, "Open the box,
you ham." Mr. Du Teau replied,
"I've been called a ham before,
but never so anonymously." And
that, seemingly, was the end of
that.
Like the mythical Pandora's
Box, people were still wondering
what was in the' package when
the big doings were all over. An
interview with Mr. Du Teau yes
terday finally solved the mystery
and brought the heretofore quiet
TNE organization into the lime
light again. The box contained a
copper mug with TNE engraved
on it, and inside the mug was a
clipping from a column in the Ne
rrnpronno?

OP A Prevents
Paper Delivery
"Golly, what nappenea to me
Nebraskan staff 1" was the typ
ical comment of those who
wandered Into the office last
Friday and witnessed one of
the busiest newswriting scenes
of the year. Same person, two
days later: "My heavens, what
happened to the Nebraskan?"
The comments of readers
were mild compared to those of
the writers when they discov
ered Sunday that their cher
ished work had made its way
into none of the organized
houses and a few of the campus
buildings.
The story goes that while
Bill Korff, circulation manager,
was making his rounds early
Sunday morning, distributing
the Ivy Day issue of the Ne
braskan, his little puddle-jumper
ran out of gas. Fallen arches
or ambition prevented any
more ingenious method of dis
tribution. Some students have threa
tened to present Bill with a bi
cycle for the future, but due
to the shortage they settled on
a kiddy car.
Cheer up, Bill! There are
a few understanding souls left
on the campus who realize that
you were a bit flustered after
having been one of the disap
pointed men who thought the
Innocents were going to tap.
As a consolation to disap
pointed students who were un
able to get Nebraskans, there
are a few left in the Nebraskan
office which may be obtained
tomorrow.
