COLD WINDS AND A HOT TEAM The Nebraska winters provide an abundance of cold, wind, and snow. However, the most exciting speculation by the Creighton student — apart from that caused by the Development Pro- gram — ■ was probably the result of the record achieved by the basketball team. The Jays met the usual opponents but with unusual success. The games with Omaha University and the Air Force Academy perhaps highlighted the conquests gained on campus, while those away from home couldn ' t but make the student shout. At the end of the season, a fifteen-win to six-loss record found the Bluejays in a more promising position than they have enjoyed since the ' 46-47 season. Bob Gibson, easily the top man, culminated his career here this year, but the rallying of Creighton to its former athletic status is already a precedent. Before the basketball season was past, the spring semester made its appearance, and the student started all over again. The recognized urgency of the need for new facilities was specially emphasized by the more than 150 student increase in registration over that of twelve months before. In all, it was obvious that the administration ' s ambitions for Creighton were not unfounded. The basketball team rose to new heights this year.

AND A SILENT SNOWY NIGHT Even though on the outside of the buildings the snow blew, on the inside life went into high gear. For example, in the middle of January the annual Interfraternity Ball witnessed the selection and corona- tion of the year ' s Helen of Troy, Mati Scherr. In this semi-formal at Peony were represented the excellent tastes of Creighton as chosen by all eleven frats on campus. Among other social highlights were such affairs as the Founders ' Day Dinner honoring nine of the Creighton faculty, Hell Day, which was given over to the diabolical rites of initiation for the pledges of three sororities, and finally the Military Ball. Cadet Col. Whelan was announced new regimental com- mander, and Miss Barbara Broderson as honorary colonel gave the orders at the ball sponsored by Phalanx Military Fraternity. A pledge must smile during all kinds of mistreatment. 21
