Spring Council ...
Among the chief postwar plans of the University of
Nebraska is a general campaign to modernize and beautify
the campus and campus buildings. Any such general cam
paign to replace outdated buildings with modern, more
utilitarian structures, build new units, and landscape the
campus must, of course, wait until the war is over and
labor and materials are once more available. But still there
is much that can be done now, this very semester, to
beautify the campus. A general drive to clean up the cam
pus, for example, would accomplish much good.
Plans for such a drive are currently being laid by a
special Student Council committee, which will reveal de
tails of the campaign within the next few days. .The drive
already has the hearty indorsement of the administration
and many faculty members, but the final responsibility,
of course, will fall on the students themselves. It will be
squarely up to them to plan the campaign and carry it to
a successful conclusion. They will have to dig the dande
lions and clean up the trash, give the campus a thoro
spring cleaning.
The clean-up campaign, if successfully carried thru,
would do much to improve the appearance of the campus
and, incidentally, would provide a lot of fun for students
who participate (especially if it is climaxed by the tentatively-planned
"Dandelion Dances.") Obviously a worthy
project, it deserves the support of every student.
LETTERIP
Dear Editor:
How fitting that the Nebraskan should
raise the social fraternity question now as
a climax to its year of constant inspiration
to us all. The editors are to be highly com
mended on their progressive stand on the
matter. But still their measured statements
lack that vigor which impells men to action.
It is a commonplace idea that sororities
and fraternities cause mental repression,
emotional perversion, and intellectual false
hood; it is an insult to this audience to
reiterate the spectacle of distracted women,
inflated empty men, doting, anxious gossip
ing alumnae, and smirking, vapid national
presidents, which constitutes the fraternity
scene. Let us then proceed to the obvious
next step-action. .
On the next moonless night a band of
stalwarts, accompanied by AWS repre
sentatives, will take the Alpha Phi house
by storm and convert it into an armory,
saving $300,000. After the fall of this
bastille the rest will fleezle and floozie like
ninepins and the battle will be won.
To Arms!
Bill Hancock

The crickets have nothing on
us . . . meaning viie students
. . . the crickets sleep all day
and (make a clicking noise out
of the side of your mouth) all
nite . . .
If Beta Bill Olson looks like
he's gagging he really isn't . . .
he's just feeling his throat be
cause DG Jo Myers went home
with mumps Nell Scott, DG
too, comes back Monday from a
mumpy seige much to Phi Delt
Doug Nelson's joy ...everyday
he must be told when she ar
rives . . out of sight out of mind
doesn't work these days, or does
it?
After the BeU party Saturday
:iite AOri Ruth Ann Finkle is
seen more and more with Kenny
Christensen, the Beta who said
he was fine that nite . . . AOPis

Allen and Bette Tobin ... the
men mentioned are AGR Floyd
Wirth and Sig Ep Boyd Ileeht . . .
DU Jim Tagader is a firm believer
.hat there is safety in numbers
. . Saturday nite he was es
corted to dinner at the Gamma
Phi house by five women . . .
Being campused on Spring eve
nings isn't so bad when Sigma
Nu Bob Cole is sitting on the dorm
steps with you . . . Lujane John
son, Pi Phi, is the com fined girl
. . . reminds one of the days
when Scarlet Fever permitted
young ladies to watch other young
ladies on the same porch . . .
Tri Delt Barbara Rogers has
been hearing: things and not bells
. . . she heard her fiance's voice
over the radio from France the
other day . . . the first time in
two years . . .
California Phi Gam, Lt. Paton
Smith has been monopolizing Tri
Delt June Griffen of late . . . an
other Tri Delt has wings, not
angels, from Lt. George Patter
son, back in town to see her . . .
she's Mij Wall . . .
The Gamma Phi's had both
candy and flowers in their house
. . . Ava Bromwich was the
recipient from Pvt. Keith Jeffery
. . . Euclid does not have any
thing to do with the next state
ment, but it sounds brainy to
mention him . . . parallel lines,
according to him, cannot meet,
but Gamma Phi Mary Le Dioyt
and Lt. Al Carmona have other
ideas on the subject ... six nites
in a row must mean something. . .
Russ Lege is a Phi Gam . . .
Phi Gamma Delta has a crest .. .
crests are oftentimes put on
bracelets ... Pi Phi has Marilyn
Nelson . . . Marilyn Nelson has a
bracelet . . .this bracelet has a
crest -on it . . . the crest is that
of Phi Gamma Delta ... if
that isn't clear ... go draw
pictures . . .
