news-editor, YWCA worker and
president of Kappa Alpha Theta,
was revealed at the Theta Sigma
Phi banquet Thursday night at
the Cornhusker as the honorary
journalism sorority's president for
the coming year.
Journalism majors, school of
journalism faculty members, staff
members of local newspapers and
interested students were guests at
the dinner, which used as its
theme, "University Magazines."
Ruth Korb, president, introduced
the speaker and Les Godfeldy
acted as toastmistress.
Fritz Daly, alumnae secretary,
told the group that Nebraska in
the postwar years will, offer an
unparalleled opportunity to young
men and women desiring to be
of service to state citizens.
"Former Nebraska newspaper
reporters and editors, many of
them graduates of our school of
Journalism," Daly, himself a for
mer Omaha newspaperman, said,
"now populate many positions of
importance on eastern metropoli
tan dailies, press associations and
magazines. Naturally we are
proud of this recognition of the
university and the state, but there
is just as great an opportunity
for service right here at home
on our daily papers and com
munity newspapers.
Daly went on to say that Ne
braska is a young, growing state,
