The seniors, in many sorority houss, are being honored at annual 'Sei:ior Break fasts" this week-end. The seniors aren't the only ones who are enjoying end-of-s c h o o 1 parties, because this is IFC week end; which is highlighted by the IFC Ball Saturday night. The time has also come around for the annual "Phi Delt Turtle Race." The sororities received their turtles Monday at chapter Mrs. Fee: Housemom Schedules Retirement Mrs, W. A. Robertson is retir ing after 11 years as housemother of Delta Delta Dela sorority. Mrs. Robertson became house mother in September, 1946 and served in that capacity for 11 years. She graduated from the Univer sity in 1909. She was president of the Tri-Delta chapter and a mem ber of Phi Beta Kappa. Both of her daughters and her daughter-in-law were Tri-Delts at this chap ter. Speaking of the memories which 11 years as being housemother have left with her in an interview with the Daily Nebraskan, Mrs. Robertson noted the many won derful memories she has of work ng with Tri-Delt girls, watching their progress in college and in the world. One memory in particular re mains with her; but unfortunately that memory is not a happy one. As she puts it, the memory is one of "pure indignation." She was speaking of the night in 1955 when student rioters went amuck and did extensive damage in several sororities. Mrs. Robertson spoke of the many things for which Nebraska students have to be grateful. Among them, she listed the though ful and efficient administration which is building a magnificent in stitution and the Panhellenic Board which, in her estimation, is one of the best in the country. Mrs. Robertson comes from a distinguished line of Nebraskans. Her grandfather was a member of the last territorial legislature and a member of the first state legislatures. Her father was one of the first state lawyers to set up practice. He began his law prac tice in Fremont in 1867. Her husband graduated from the University in 191)9 where he was Editor of the Cornhusker in that year. The future for Mrs. Robertson in cludes traveling in the immediate future, she plans a trip to visit her four children who live in California and Arizona. The Outside World: U.S. Protests The United States has protested to Russia that "road blocks" and ether forms of police action are restricting the travel of Americans Inside Russia. The note complained that, in practice, the Soviet government re itricts travel beyond the rules Moscow has proclaimed publicly Johnson Address Sen. Lyndon Johnsou called on President Eisenhower to make it clear in a TV-radio address "whether he wants an economy admin istration or a spending administration." Johnson, the Senate Democratic leader said in an interview "The administration is speaking out of both sides of its mouth" on fiscal matters and Eisenhower himself ought to ulear the matter up." Atomic Tests End? The Soviet Union announced it has asked Japan to join in an ppeal to the United States and Britain for an immediate end to atomic and hydrogen bomb tests. Food Shortage The Polish government has ordered emergency imports of butter to help meet a food shortage causing widespread disquiet. Lines up to 20 yards long have stretched outside food shops in the past week. All milk pioducts and meat are short. Fears of rising prices have started a run on other commodities, such as sugar and eggs. Foreign Aid A special senate committee says foreign aid should be continued but ai less cost to the American taxpayer. Reporting on an intensive study of the mutual assistance program, th committee called for tighter co-ordination and streamlining of various foreign aid programs both to increase their effectiveness and to cut their cost. Without suggesting any figure, the group said President Eisen hower should cut his aid requests below the revised $3,830,000,000 fig ure he approved last week. Flash Flood A flash flood roared through Lampasas, Texas, drowning four persons and ieaving three lost by Red Cross figures. The flood wiped out the business section and damaged 150 homes. 25 persons are missing and the area is being searched for more bodies.
