To Sponsor
'Play Day'
Thirteen high schools have in
dicated that they will send par
ticipants to the "PkT-day" spon
sored by junior and senior phys
ical education majors March 3.
Several more schools from the
15-county district one area of the
Nebraska Education association
will probably send delegates to
the "Play-day" also.
Each high school will send five
delegates to the affair.
Cooperation.
The "Play-day" win give
physical education majors expe
rience in teaching sports. Ac
cording to Mabel Lee, head of
the women's physical education
department, the girls participat
ing will be taught "cooperation
instead of competition."
"No two girls from the same
school will play on the same
team," Miss Lee said. "We hope
to provide an opportunity for
high school girls in the sur
rounding communities to become
acquainted."
The morning program for the
girls will include volley ball, duck
pins, table tennis, deck tennis
and shuffleboard games.
Following the noon luncheon
at Ellen Smith hall the girls will
have the opportunity of hearing
the school songs and yells of
each group.
The afternoon program will in
clude musical mixers and a swim
in the Coliseum pool.

The winning teams of the va
rious activities will be presented
awards at the colse of the pro

Percival Pecunious Finds
Student Directory Problem
Once upon a time not so very
long ago the little man-about-campus,
Percival Pecunious
(Pinchpenny to all non-Latin
students) was strolling along very
leisurely one day when he heard
the boom of an auctioneer's
voice:
"Sold!"
"Going going gone! "
Percy broke into a run, and
upon approaching the crowd,
yelled, "Wait! Haven't you got
ten things a little turned around?"
Union College Has
'Sandwich Battle"
Schenectady, N. Y., the students
and college officials are both
claiming victory in the ""battle of
the sandwich."
It is now possible for the stu
dents to buy a 20-cent sandwich,
with lettuce, for 20 cents at
lunch time. At night however, the
college dining halls charge 20
cents for the sandwich, plus an
extra five cents tacked on for
the lettuce.
Originally the college tried to
install a five-cent, across-the-lunch-counter
boost for lettuce at
all meals. At that, the students,
particularly Sam Newcomer, a

The auctioneer looked at the
little nondescript fellow very
curiously. "Not at all,",. he.said
simply, "not at all!" ' .
Pecunious, even more puzzled
than ever, stepped a little closer.
"What 1 mean is," he started
carefully, "you've old something,
and now you're yelling :Going
goirjggone!' I don't get it."
Auctioneer Explains
The man on the platform
beamed down on the little man
and explained, "Some weeks ago,
I sold some things for a man
and collected the money. The
trouble is, nobody -ever came after
what they bought."
Percy was horrified. "You
mean with all the trouble peo
ple have with finances, they still
haven't bothered to return for
the things they paid out good
money to get?"
"That's right," the auctioneer
affirmed.
Percy just couldn't understand
it. "Why would anybody do. a
thing like that?" he thought.
"How could they?"
Wasted Money
"Wfli Percv. the fact remains
that there are people who do
such things. Whether it be at an
auction or in making subscrip
tions, it seems as though there
are some who dont care enough

( At present, Builders is in the
same predicament as the man on
the platform. The other charac
ter, the student body, aoesn i
seem to run parallel to the little
man on campus, however.
The story? Last fall, Builders
solicited approximately a thou
sand receipts for directories.
Sold? Sure!
However, since their issuance,
750 of these pieces of paper have
been exchanged for those little
green books.
$375 Lost
At 50 cents apiece, that means
$375 gone gone down the drain
unless these individuals make an
effort to redeem those little white
slips of paper for which they
planked down those bright, shiny
half dollars so many weeks ago.
Just think 50 cents. To be
sure, there's always the complaint
that someone is always asking for
money. Even Percival Pecunious
knows that.
The situation now, however, is
in the reverse. The student has
foiled himself. The shoe is on
the other foot!
Builders have the payments.
All these 750 people have to do
is go up to that office, say
"please," and those little green
information manuals are theirs
to keep.
It sounds easy enough why
not give it a try?
