Managing Editor
The official Interfratern
ity Council pledge list has
28 names listed under Kap
pa Sigma, but the Kappa
Sigs themselves insist they
took 29 new pledges this
year.
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

"We had to get a Colo

could teach there so I went
to the University of Colo

think I'll try to transfer my

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.

his fingers as he prophesied
New Year's as opening day
for the new enlarged cafe and

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

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.

Students who wish to join

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,

"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."

Freshman beanies are sell
ing "very well," Dick Shu
grue, Innocent In charge of
sales said.
All fraternity pledges have
now purchased beanies, he
reported. 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. "The beanie tradition is
one of the last lingering tra
ditions of campus-wide
scope."
With the money derived
from beanie sales, the Inno
cents carry on other programs
including Homecoming, Ivy

Shugrue added.
