The 29th "pledge" is Mr;;. John Reece, Pueblo. Colo rado, the new Kappa Sig housemother. Freshman Mrs. Reece, or "Jamey," as she prefers to be called, has never been a house mother on any other cam pus so she is starting off her new job "as lost as any of the freshmen." The idea of becoming a housemother is not new to Mrs. Reece, however. "Be fore I ever got married, I thought if I ever wind up a middle aged widow, a s most women nowadays will, I'd like to be a house mother," Mrs. Reece saicL The job appealed to her because she, herself, had attended two universities and 'ad liked the college The Daily Nebraskon Barb Activities B o a r d for Women is an organization for unaffiliated coeds.

"We had to get a Colo rado certificate before we could teach there so I went to the University of Colo rado for a summer. I don't think I'll try to transfer my grades from there if I ever go back to school. I had a terrible time, Mrs. Reece recalled. Two Daughters In 1931, Mrs. Reece mar ried. She has two daugh ters, both married. One of them lives in Omaha "so I get to see one of my girls once in a while," Mrs. Reece says. After her husband's death, Mrs. Reece thought of her old plan of becoming a housemother. Her hus band had been of Kappa Sigma at the University of Colorado so when she heard that Nebraska's Kappa Sigs were looking for a house mother to replace Mrs. George Engler, who retired last year, she applied. "I like working with young people, she said. "They are so natural." The Kappa Sigs think that "Jamey" is a' natural too. Colbert, the group will break up into smaller special inter est sections. Officers attending the meet ing include organization pres idents, treasurers, scholar ship chairmen, social chair man, health representatives and parliamentarians. J. P. Harper, treasurer of the Student Activities Fund, will speak to organization treasurers. Scholarship chairmen will Opening rector of the Union, crossed his fingers as he prophesied New Year's as opening day for the new enlarged cafe and kitchen. Suffering now from its third strike, this one by the metal workers, construction of t h e addition should allow a grand opening nest fall, Lake said. The view that presents it self now beyond the red "Women" sign put up by an enterprising individual, is re markably like that of a dorm room before either occupant has put away his belongings. Exceptionally rainy weath er has left the floors in the addition spotted with puddles. ITile, wires, piles of every Kind oi construction equip ment make an obstacle course out of what will eventually be ballrooms, cafeterias, bowling alleys and game rooms. Glass Walls Molds have been poured for glass walls that will almost encircle the $1,250,000 struc ture. Once the walls are in, Lake said, weather should not pose much of a threat to construction schedules. "Pretty much on schedule" j was how Lake described the progress now. j The streaks of freshly plas tered walls in the Crib, the yawning holes that appear in scattered places throughout the present Union, represent ; work that was done on the! heating and cooling systems.! Separate Heat A 500-ton steam absorption unit in the new addition willj separate the Union from the: University system, which is i already heavily taxed. Changes in the pipes and ducting in the old Union are "souping-up the heating sys tem throughout," Lake said. Work begins this week on the inside walls of the new Crib and kitchen, Lake said. This is the portion of the addi tion directly behind the "Women" sign in the main hall of the present Union. Gloomy Cavern What will eventually be 10 bowling lanes is now a gloomy cavern with several troughs running the length of the floor. Eight of the lanes will be used for leagues and classes, but two will be kept free at all times for open bowling. Lake said. What will in several months be recognizable as party rooms to be used for small conventions, hour dances and exhibits is now so dark that flashlights are needed to grope through the debris. Reporters Students who wish to join the Daily Nebraskan report ing staff may sign np Thurs day at the upperclass activi ties mart in the Union Ball room, according to Emmie Limpo, senior staff writer. Previous journalistic experi ence is not needed, although journalism students are es pecially needed, Miss Limpo said.

"This orientation session will enable officers to ask questions now, and might save them a future trip to the Administration Office," Gary Frenzel, council vice-president said. He added that the speeches would be short, and that the entire session should be over by 4:45 p.m. Exchange Ideas 'This is an excellent oppor tunity for organization officers to learn what the University expects of them, some of the University's plans for the year, parliamentary proce dure, and to exchange ideas with members of the Admin istration," Dwaine R o g g e, council president said. "Be sure to bring your questions Thursday," he added. "Those officers who attended in the past have learned much that has helped them in their organizations."

Beanie sales will continue the rest of this week. "We hope we'll get the same cooperation from unaffiliated students as we have from the fraternity members," Shugrue said.
