4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, February 29, 1952 2 cip Veer's Hey By DICK RALSTON Staff Writer Men Beware! Today is Leap Year's Day and some coeds don't believe in pass ing up a chance that comes only once in four years. Pat Nellis is one girl who be lieves in taking advantage of the turn-about tradition. Pat. a fresh man in Teachers College and a metjiber of Alpha Chi Omega, as serted herself early and got pinned before leap year was a week old. Miss Nellis expressed regret that leap year comes only once in four years and said that "four years is a long time to wait for the next move." She will cele brate Leap Year's day with her pinmate but she declined to say who would have the upper hand. To Peggy Nelson, Feb. 29 pre sents a different problem. Peggy is a home economics major and a member of Delta Delta Delta and celebrates her birthday Feb. 29. She solves her problem in off years by having her birthday on the closest weekend. She said it is an advantage in some ways, be cause she always gets something special on her real birthday. Miss Nelson said her boy friend "thinks its funny" that her birthday comes every four years. "He thinks that I'm an odd character," she said, "I think he likes the idea of not having to buy presents every year, though." George Bauer, sophomore in Teachers College, said that he is not going' to run from the coeds. He said that he is thinking of "standing on the corner of 14th and R streets and waiting for some girl to pick me up." Shirley Stehlik stated she does n't like to chase men. "It makes them too swell-headed." A mem ber of Alpha Xi Delta and a soph omore in Teachers College, Miss Stehlik said, "The men had better get on the stick. The air base will: soon be reactivated and we women won't have to chase them any more." "What good is leap year when the man doesn't want to leap," says Mary Pattison, a freshman in Teachers College. She de clared "leap year doesn't work; they're always on guard." Marjorie DeLamatre said, "There are too many men who think .they are God's gift to Connies Corner Gamma Phis Suffer From Broken Water Line Connie Gordon Our first news of the day con- cerns the water situation at the; Gamma Phi house.
