BY NORM LEGER.
We stumbled down 14th street
this morning to find the campus as
lifeless as we felt, and stopped in
at the Uni Drug to join the Sat
urday Morning Hangover Club for
a Bromo or two. Conversation
was at a low ebb, and the only
greeting we received was a bat of
a blood-shot eye and a mourn
ful nod of a drooping head. We
returned same.
The Mortar Board ball had
come and gone, and the women
had had their fling. Their night
of howling was over, and the cam
pus male population was still feel
ing the after effects.
While some were loaded down
with monstrous corsages and oth
ers were lit up like Christmas
trees, literally and figuratively,
the men had taken for the one
night of the year the defensive.
The novel corsages, the "sign
out" sheets in the men's houses,
and the cause-for-hysterics ap
parel the men let their dates car
ry for them provided both sexes
with a good many laughs. For
instance, there was the men who
assured his house in signing out
that he would return immedi
ately -should the hand of his date,
by chance, reach an inch above
his knee. One of the girls found
herself with the delightful task
of carrying for her date a roll of
you-know-what and an article of
male gym gear which she declared
she had never seen before and
had heard mention of only in im
polite company.
Then there were the four boys
who struck up a little bridge game
in the middle of the dance floor
and shuffled to the rhythm of
sweet-playing Spivak, but were
surprised to find that the girls
were prepared for "Such a situation
they carried a deck of their own,
and had a hand or two of bridge
themselves.
The high point of the evening
came when a familiar voice (you
"known" whom we mean) boomed
over the loudspeaker that the pre
sentation of the eight eligible
bachelors was to begin, bringing
all 1,500 couples rushing towards
the coliseum stage to see beyond
the parting curtains a dark open
ing flanked by two huge phos
phorescent cats. Out of the dark
and into the spotlight stepped
eight of the more handsome men
on campus, BMOC variety, one
by one. Everyone waited expect
antly for the appearance of the
next to come, and at the proper
time the George Miller Fan Club
swooned appropriately.
The hour for all UN cinder
ellas came too soon, and out into
the cold poured the throng of
dancers who either found their
way back to their houses for a
loct hnnr discussion of the labor
situation and present relations
with Russia or to private parties
to play parlor games ana arm.

However, in closing word let us
say that you who were compelled
to hear the clock's strike of one
from the inside should be doubt
ful of the advantages of doing
otherwise. There were few of you
represented at the club meeting in
Uni Drug yesterday morning, and
you probably had fun last night.

BY WALT SIMON.
Ever since our rather intermin
able stay in the service we've
been haunted by the fact that no
body absolutely nobody seems
to know anything about Lincoln,
Nebraska. When we get off the
trains in New York City the por
ters don't greet us by saying,
"Parrv vn' hacrs. suh." thev mere
ly sneer, finger our lapel, and rasp,
"obviously not tsrooKs tsroiners.
This article is an explanation,
a history, in short, a reason for,
Lincoln Nebraska which, I think
you'll agree, needs a reason.
Cozy Nest.
Lincoln is cozily nestled be
tween four rather significant
points Swingle's Glue Factory
and Butcher Shop, Salt Creek
(commonly referred to as condi
ment canal), a rather odd Phallic
symbol conceived by an obscure
group of aborigines devoted to the
worship of the 'one raised finger'
method of calling a waiter, and
the Awgwan office.
There are a group of malcon
tents bounding about the ville who
have forwarded the idea of erect
ing a tombstone on 13th and "O".
with the rather poignant message
inscribed thereon "Lincoln, Be
loved child of Nebraska, Stillborn
1867. This however is laliacious
Lincoln is breathing; if only
slightly.
A Little History.
To those who Relieve Lincoln
possesses no history we lift an
eyebrow true we never burned
witches, but there are any num
ber of recorded cases in our an
nals of hot-footed Mortar Boards
and who is there that can dis
pute the eyrie traditionalism of
red robbed Druids pouncing upon
neophytic onlookers every spring
in an almost biological attack.
Furthermore, our lonely columns
are not only inexplicable, but un
extricable (not to mention despic
able). As for a reason, well think of
all those homeless peasants even
in Russia one must dwell. In the
words of the immortals, "Home
is where you hang your wife."
The superintendent of the phys
ical plant at Iowa State wished he
knew what kind of paint the stu
dents used to decorate the side
walks during homecoming week.
He says that it has resisted the
weather better than some of the
paint he can get. The ironical
"Sink the Sooners" painted in
front of the Home Economics
building is still as clear as it was
seven weeks ago.
