Poor Pledge
By Emily Heine.
Rally! Rally!" I hoard the cry
go through the hall. Impossible.
We may rally at some ungodly
hours but not at 10:30 on Sunday
evening. (It would be ungodly on
Sunday, wouldn't it? Or when
does Sunday stop being Sunday?)
Someone's feeble sense of humor
popping tip again, I thought, and
didn't bother to run and hide in
a closet the way I usually do when
I hear those words.
Why do I hide in a closet? Be
cause I'm. a pledge and pledges
ALWAYS go to rallies and unless
I hide I'll have to conform like
nil the rest of them. (Yes. mother,
I do to behave.) Only the other
pledges go to rallies to earn ac
tivity points, and I get activity
points writing (?) no, let's be
positive writing (!) for the RAG,
"Rally for what?" I said, to
stall, thinking to get close enough
to the window to jump out. But
no one would answer my ques
tion. Instead I was surrounded by
actives all shouting that Mu Pu
MUST be represented at the rally
and that the Tassels both had lar
yngitis and the cheer-leader had
a charley-horse so it was all up
to me.
At this point 1 should make it
elear that my argumentative pow
ers are not at their high at 10
p. b, too early and when some
one pointed to my blue jeans I
didn't say a word just went over
and "climbed into them. Some
tvfcere they had unearthed another
pledge. At least they told me she
was a pledge; I had never seen
her before. You know how Mu

pledges as ATO.
Well, anyhow, Susie went be
cause she is the type that is easily
swayed. She is also the type that
sways easily. In fact, I had to
lead her all the way to the Union.
The extra effort served one pur
pose. It woke me up a little and
after I had poured two cups of
scalding coffee (trite) down her.
she woke up, too, and said, "Du."
(She is a French major, I guess.)
Finally a boy with a bass drum

my piccolo didn't I want to play
in the band? I think he had me
confused with my cousin Ger
trude, because all I can play is
"The Girl I Left Behind Me" and
that would not have sounded good
because the bass drummer and
the snare drummer, which were
the band, kept wanting to play
"Hail Varsity" or something like
that. The last I saw of them they
were on their way to "D" Street
to look up a trombone player that
knows all those songs without
music.
Then we went to the station
and there was the rally. It was
not like ordinary rallies. Onee
when I had gone on one before I
lost both shoes and the only ones
I could find were 12-C. Have
you seen anyone named Orv Mil
der? Someone told me they might
be his. Well, anyhow, this rally
was mechanized. It was just like
any army moving in when we
all went down the street in the
cars with the sirens screaming.

us.)

A brief resume of the week-end
discloses the latest in party people
and table-toppers.
Atmospheric King's ballroom
had a capacity crowd Friday which
proceeded to drowned out Dell
Clayton and orchestra with close
harmony. Singing the loudest and
mostest were PATTY HINTZ and
JACK BRANDT. Other outstand
ing people included: MARION
CROOK and VAN WESTOVER,
eiruclating: AMY JO BERGH and
PERRY RANKIN, first dating;
and JOHNNY WOODS spreading
cheer with his pointless jokes.
The men of Tau Kappa Epsilon
claimed illustrious alum LAU
RENCE WELK as their dinner
guest Saturday night and made a
night of it at the Pike afterward.
Highpoint of the evening was
LARRY'S new arrangement of the
TKE sweetheart song sung by the
boys and their dates.
Happy side-light of the evening
was JACK JUL.L.S date with
Helen, L. Welk's lovely . singer.
He's really giving the pin-mate
back home something to worry
about this time.
The lights were low, there were
only live minutes to go and sud
denly from the depths of a window
well emerged BILL WRIGHT
startling the last of the Saturday
nighters on the porch. Bill said he
was looking for a match, but from
the way he gaily scissored the
hedge, he must have been eaves
dripping. Belated news on a pi e-week-end
affair! Thursday was the night of
the improptu Sigma Kappa-Sig
Alph football game. Following a
close scrimmage, the girls were
named winners of the fracas at the
cost of four teeth belonging to
SALLY SIPPLE and several torn
ligaments of ELAINE KRAUSE'S.
A more cheerful side of the tus
sle was the follow-up game staged
by Betty Biddle, Liz Olson and the
Reed Brothers. Much confusion
was in order as the girls tried to
surmise which brother was who's
date. , ... -
The boys from the Sigm'achi
Frat club are watching with glee
the copetition between TOM DON
AHUE and JERRY FERGUSON
over frosh JEAN CAIN. Tom is re
portedly out in front this week,
but according to Jerry, as soon as
he can substitute dating for foot
ball training, "Donahue won't have
a chance."
A picked group of DG's and
SAE's had a picnic at a newly
discovered spot Sunday night.
They prefer to keep their new
rendezvous for NORMA JEAN
MEYERS and JACK WELLING
ER, MARGE VAN PELE and BOB
JENSEN and the gang.

Jackie fairly bubbled with en

The "Over-alls" for todday are
a few Union all-timers (persons,
places 'n things) that are good
daytime, nightime, pastime, or all
the time on UN campus. First we
have the:
DIURNAL. That's daytime to
all you who haven't had English
2 the time for classes. The ques
tion, to cut or not to cut? Hav
ing done away with the old "3-cut
rule" (no relation to the 4-date
rule) the profs arc now putting
it up to you. Most of them ex
pect you to show enough interest
to avoid cutting except when nec
essary (your own definition!). But
just remember, professors do come
into the Crib sometimes and we'll
wager tliat most of them can rec
ognize the face in the corner
booth as the one that was missing
from seat 9-a at 10 o'clock his
tory. INTERNAL. Here is the "In
side Story" on the Student Union
Dining Room. We have it straight
from the genial host, Duane De
maree, that a large percentage of
UN eds and coeds have never
heard of, much less visited, this
fine eating place. Guaranteed "in
ternsl" satisfaction from a deli
cious lunch In the Union Dining
Room. (Note: .Duane says the
best hours for getting tables are
from 11 to 12 noon, Monday thru
Friday.)

pus even before school begins to
act as guides at registration. We've
rendered this service to the Uni
versity ever since our founding
and the administration feels it is
valuable. This year Dr. Hoover,
assistant registrar, said, 'We could
not carry on registration without
the Coed Counselors.'
"The Counselors meet their little
sisters on the first day of school
at the Freshman party and than
the program gets under way. It is
each girl's responsibility to become
a real friend of her little sister so
that she may help her with any
problems she might have in get
ting adjusted to college life. It is
the personal contact that is imp
portant. We want every freshman
girl to feel that there is someone
to turn to when the going gets
tough."
At this point we nodded our
head in agreement for we were
never very green. Not very!
"Bis and little sisters get to
gether often for a coke, movie or
just a good chat," Jackie went on.
"This contact continues all year
and is interspersed with all-Coed
Counselor activities.
On Nov. 1 we're planning ' a
Friendship dinner. This will be
followed by a pre-holiday 'get-together
,the annual Christmas tea.
"Durin gthe school year the Co
ed Counselor organization offers a
weekly charm sch .ol and book re
view. This year we plan to use
illustrated material and displays
to make these meetings of vital in
terest to all women.
"In the past we have sponsored
a Penny Carnival .'n the spring for
the entire campus. Each organized
house enters a b oth and any pro
fit realized is used for Coed Coun
selor expenses. V.'c feel that Penny
Carnival is especially valuable be
cause it offers one of the few op
portur' ies for, woman's organiza
tions iu work together and get to
know one another. We hope to
perpetuate Penny Carnival this
J ear for we feel that its influence
on a united campus spirit is in-
aluable.
"There are lots of odd iobs
?Lo. . campus .. hich we are called
upon to do such as lining the
Union booth during the AUF
drive, bo you see w really are a
service organization and we not
only serve freshman women but
th( campus as a whole."

Saturday night than read a book,"
end of quote.
The time-honored system of
blind-dating is now under full
swing at Nebraska, due to the
fact that most of us haven't had
a good chance to get acquainted
yet. The only difficulty is that
you may not get the campus
queen but I'll bet she can do the
"Raspah." However, to avoid
said evils of blind dating, how
about taking advantage of the
Union coffee hours and mixers?
An accepted institution for gals
is to come in a group and get to
know lots of fellas, according to
Marge Cherny, hospitality sponsor.
The trick is to be charming
enough to assure their calling you
soon, even though you'd return
home unescorted, as a matter of
campusetiquette.
INFORMAL. An "anytime all
timer'' is the card room in the
Union. If you or your girl have
a couple of hours free, or even
half an hour, how about a bridge
game? Cards are checked out at
the desk. (P. S. If your partner
trumps your ace, suggest Dale
Ball's bridge lessons, starting
Oct. 14.)
ETERNAL. Our selection for

beanie and armload of books.
