ROWLAND HAYNES THE UNIVERSITY Actuated by the modern educational trend in the direction of establishing in- stitutions of higher liberal, technical, and professional training in the larger centers of population, and by a sincere civic pride and devotion, a group of representative citizens organized themselves, in the early summer of 1908, into a Board of Trustees and began the active promotion of a movement for the founding of a non-sectarian, co-educational institution under such auspices as would conduce to the highest type of intelligent and efficient citizenship. This Board was incorporated as the University of Omaha on October 8, 1908, and inaugurated its educational work on September 14, 1909, with an enrollment of twenty-six students. The University, at the outstart, acquired the tra ct known as the Redick Reserve, on which stood the Old Redick Mansion, and erected on this site two well-appointed buildings, the John Jacobs Memorial Gymnasium, given by Mrs. M. O. Maul, and Joslyn Hall, presented by Mr. George A. Joslyn. In these two commodious buildings a Collegiate Department was established with a well-round- ed curriculum. The success of the enterprise vindicated the hopes and aims of its promoters until now more than 1,400 students are enrolled in its regular, extension, and summer sessions. In 1913, four years after its establishment, the University was authorized by the State Department of Education to grant First Grade Certificates. Since that time, the University has continued year by year to add other educational features. The Extension Department consisting of afternoon, night, and Saturday morning classes, was created in 1918 and has become a very important department and factor in the University organization. The Department of Commerce and Business Ad- ministration began its work in September, 1925, and has since kept an expanding and profitable contact with the industrial and commercial interests of the city. The demands upon the University made during the 1920 ' s by eager students and the necessary standards of education involved such a financial burden that those interested in the institution and its continued value in the community conceived that THE UNIVERSITY G 1 its perpetuity must be made possible through the organization of a Municipal University, financed from public funds. To this end, the Legislature of Nebraska passed a bill in 1928 authorizing cities of the metropolitan class to vote on the question of the establishment and maintenance of municipal universities, and the people of Omaha on May 6, levied a one-mill tax for the support and development of the Muni- cipal University of Omaha. In compliance with the provisions of the statute a Board of Regents, composed of nine representative citizens of Omaha, was appointed by the Board of Education of the city and inducted into office July 1, 1930. The Board of Regents, however, was enjoined from levying a tax for the support of the newly established institution, and the Municipal University of Omaha did not come into reality until January, 1931, when the State Supreme Court upheld the right of the Board to levy a tax for the maintenance of the Municipal University. The properties of the University of Omaha were then surrendered by its trustees and were accepted by the Board of Re- gents of the new Municipal University of Omaha. Dr. Daniel E. Jenkins was the able leader of the University for the first eighteen years ending in 1926. Then followed Dr. Karl F. Wettstone and Mr. Earnest W. Emery in the presidency. During the year immediately preceding the opening of the new municipal school, the University of Omaha was administered by Dr. W. Gilbert James. Then the late Dr. William E. Sealock was called to the presidency from the University of Nebraska. Since the municipalization of the University of Omaha the late Dr. Sealock with exceeding courage has initiated a new plan of instruction and has done much to ' add to the University ' s prestige in the North Central Association. Twenty-seven new in- structors were added to the faculty, and over 20,000 volumes were added to the library. But Dr. Sealock ' s greatest dream, that of a new spacious campus for the University in a quiet neighborhood, was not realized when death took him in the summer of 1935. And thus the Municipal University of Omaha has become a reality and the dreams and aspirations of its founders and predecessors are being fulfilled as the years pass.

Jacobberger 1 1 1 1 if I JOSLYN HALL Do you remember the time when you timidly walked up the steps of Joslyn Hall, stepped over the threshold and by such action discarded the late glory of the lordly high school senior to become a green and worried college freshman? Do you remem- ber when you madly dashed up the stairs of Joslyn Hall to make your eight o ' clock class, or skiddled nervously down the corridor to a dreaded final exam, or peaked wistfully into the Registrar ' s office to see if the grades were in, or determinedly marched in to the Bursar ' s office to settle a minor pecuniary matter, or sauntered out to the steps to bask in the warm spring sun, or lazily viewed the bulletin board for no special reason? And finally do you remember when you strolled out of the door of Joslyn Hall with a diploma in one hand and a want ad in the other? You enjoyed doing those things, didn ' t you? JACOBS ' HALL The scene of many ingenious pledge dances, earnest student convocations, hilar- ious W. A. A. activities, peppy intramural tournaments and thorough gymnastic train- ing, Jacobs ' Hall has served its purpose well in aiding the social life of the campus. More than a gymnasium as its oval structure indicates, it has been the melting-pot of the classes, the playground of adolescents, the auditorium of the school, and the fertile center of romances. SCIENCE HALL Aspiring and perspiring pre-medic students can never forget the Science Hall. At least an odoriferous image of acidic aromas will linger long. Broken beakers, gaseous explosions, reasonable formulas with amazing results make a marked im- pression on struggling chemists. The finicky freshman in biology will also continue to shudder when the worms and the frogs and the rats revive in his mind, and many a conscientious math student might blushingly recall those unsolved problems left on the blackboard. The symbol of zealous and lofty ambitions, this building is cer- tainly the most earnest workhouse on the campus. FACULTY BUILDINGS Bedlam usually reigns in the Men ' s Faculty building, for it is here that the Gateway Office is located; it is here that the male loafers lounge, and it is here that conferences are held continuously. The stairs with their friendly hollowed grooves have felt a ceaseless passing of feet which jovially climb to the upper regions to beard a professor in his den and which often quite painfully lumbered back to the medley below. A noisy place, but a nice place. Teas, luncheons, parties and club meetings characterize the Women ' s Faculty building. A visit to the Dean to get one ' s little difficulties straightened out, a snooze on the studio couch to get one ' s visage smoothed out or a smack from the kitchen cupboard to get one ' s tummy filled out are some of the familiar activities within the house. It is also a convenient place to study or talk; and every co-ed has a warm feeling around the heart when she thinks of the services this building has rendered her. LEWIS D. CRENSHAW, B.S.

I he desire for higher education among adults t I t INol V- IN is made evident through the steadily increasing en- rollment in the extension division of the University. From a registration of 516 for the year 1931-32, the total has mounted to 1267 for the last year 1935-36 with the comple te record for the past five years of 5398 registrations. Under the director- ship of Mr. E. M. Hosman, the extension department has lived up to the true mean- ing of its name; for it has stretched out and enlarged by attracting a diversified student body and by offering a great variety of courses. One can find in these night classes representatives of many stratas of life. Doc- tors, lawyers, graduates, day students, engineers, office girls, public officers, house- wives, laborers and numerous people with other vocations mingle together; and their motives for enrolling are also varied. Some come to meet graduation requirements; others, to begin college studies. Some come to become more efficient in their present positions; others, to satisfy their cultural needs. A glance through the colored bulletins which offer special audit courses and a careful perusal of the extension catalogue will show that for every desire or whim of an individual to gain a certain type of information this department can gratify it. Audit courses have become increasingly popular as refreshers to keep one abreast with the times and as cultural havens for one with leisure hours. Out- standing among these have been a course in book reviewing, given five times, by Mrs. Mildred M. Gearhart, and Dr. V. H. Vartanian ' s fifty community Bible study classes in Council Bluffs which have been given for fifteen years with over 5,000 enrolled. Other special audit courses of interest were Survey of the Humanities by Dr. W. Payne and Dr. B. Boyce, World Politics by Dr. L. Harris, American Politics To- day by Dr. E. Holt, Construction of Marionettes by Mr. P. Peterson and Practical Home Landscaping by Mr. Marshall. Courses in radio broadcasting and in photo- graphy, given during the second semester of 1935-36 attracted many students. In credited academic work, many courses similar to those in the regular day school are offered. Day students who find conflicts in their schedules or work part time often avail themselves of these night classes, According to Mr. Hosman, about thirty-three per cent of those receiving degrees each year have taken work in the extension division. To facilitate those who cannot attend either day or evening classes, a limited number of Home Study courses are given. In the past five years about 420 dif- ferent courses were compiled to meet the demand. Since September 1935, forty-six have enrolled in Home Study courses. 19 3 6 HAWK Each department in the University offers courses in the extension division, and the faculty is composed of members of the regular faculty and other teachers and specialists living in Omaha. The complete faculty is as follows: Benjamin Boyce, Martin Bush, William Comstock, A. J. Foy Cross, Ehrma Donley, James Earl, Herschel Elarth, C. S, Espinosa, L. N. Garlough, Mildred Gearhart, Harold Glass, Paul Grummann, Grace Gunn, Lyman Harris, Dorothy Hawley, Edgar Holt, E. M. Hosman, J. W. Jackson, A. M. Johnson, L. M. Johnson, Harold Larson, Ann Liebst, Maurice Marshall, R. J. Maxwell, J. F. McDermott, Evan Morris, Elmer Mortensen, Oliver Nickum, Mary Parker, Wilfred Payne, Paul Peterson, Elizabeth Rainey, J. H. Rhoads, Vera Rigdon, Josephine Shively, Leon Smith, LeRoy Smith, Ray Suber, T. E. Sullenger, L. O. Taylor, W. H. Thompson, Dorothy Thompson, V. H. Var- tanian, A. D. Wallace, Pearl Weber, J. M. Weidenschilling, and C. E. White. Summer school sessions also come under the direction of the extension division. Characteristic of these sessions are the number of teachers who are working for more education credits, the number of new faculty members who are often professors from other schools and the number of regular students who are either catching up or getting ahead. Again all types of courses are offered to meet multifarious needs. The number enrolled in the summer of 1935 was 380. Through its many functions the extension department has truly become an in- tegral part of the University. Everett M. Hosman T H E 1 9 TOMAHA THE 1936 TOMAHAWK John Moucka, President Maxine Steincamp, Secretary. Dorothy Anderson, Vice-President O P k I I The class of 1936 is both happy and proud of its privi- CMI V« l O lege of graduating from the Municipal University of Omaha and feels that its past four years of college life have been well spent. Its members have participated in many events for the advancement of the school, and have seen many changes take place. The class has waited patiently for a new campus and is still hoping that that wish may be fulfilled soon. It has seen the school enter the North Central Athletic Association. It has witnessed the adoption of Indian trad- itions and customs into the school life. It has experienced the tragic death of our late President, Dr. Sealock, to whose memory this class solemnly dedicates itself. It is the first class to graduate from the University under the presidency of Mr. Rowland Haynes, and the second to spend all four years as students in the Municipal University. One of the outstanding accomplishments of the class is the publication of this annual, The Tomahawk, the first yearbook since 1929. It is sincerely hoped that The Tomahawk will establish a tradition which will never be broken. The last few weeks bring the senior ' s college career to a close with many events, such as, Ma-ie Day, Senior Day, the Junior-Senior banquet, Baccalaureate, and finally culminate in Commencement, June 4.

As freshmen they were the most active class on the campus and each year they have extended their activity. This year The Gateway and The Tomahawk have been almost exclusively productions of the Junior class. The Indian tradition plan adopted last year and the first successful celebrations of Ma-ie Day and Homecoming were made possible largely through the untiring efforts and efficient direction of Virginia Lee Long. In the realm of sports the juniors were well-represented on the varsity football, basketball, and track squads. Individually the class is very well-known around the campus, Julian Mcpherson is in demand for his versatile piano arrangements wher- ever students congregate; Amy Rohacek is the popular heroine of many dramatic productions; James Peterson and his fiddle are seen at every University gather- ing; and Agneta Jensen, The Tomahawk artist, is the envy of the art department. To close a year filled with activity the class ably fulfilled their traditional duty of entertaining the seniors at a banquet. This was accomplished under the direction of the class piesident, Carson Rogers.

Katherine Davis, Vice-President a I i A O | O Having become thoroughly acclimated to OvJr H vJ V vJK LJ college life, the sophomore class delved into all the activities of the University and enthusiastically carved a reputation for them- selves as a peppy industrious group of suffermores . Individually and as a group, the members have distinguished themselves in athletics, dramatics, debating, scholar- ship, music and other activities. Football and basketball claim many second year students; such as: Melvin Boldenow, Royce Brown, John Donlon, Robert Flesher, Robert Frink, Morris Loder, Russell Riggins. Interested in expressing their dramatic abilities are seen Ed Nell Benson, Bernice Ecklund, Sylvan Frankel, Louise Riggs, Perry Rushlau, Jane Vincent and Dale Wolf. Sophomores also seem to be attracted toward forensics, for two- thirds of last year ' s debate teams were from the second year class. Promising young executives are prevalent, for the following are presidents of various organizations: Muriel Byrn, Betty Minteer, Theda Anthes, Bill Holland, and Frank Goos. As artists, Edward Dulacki with his violin and George DeNault with his paint brush contribute to the fame of the class of ' 38. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK Franklin Spangler, President Harriet Salmon, Secretary Janice Johnston, Vice-President FRESHMEN did not lack in the display of talent and enthusiasm which it made in the various campus activities during the year. The freshmen began by showing a great deal of interest in the election of class officers early in the fall. The percentage of fresh- men who went to the polls to cast their votes in the class elections was greater than that of any other class. The freshmen football and basketball teams, which were under the direction of Coach Warren Howard and Coach Sed Hartman respectively, will serve as a welcome source of material for the varsity squads next fall. Not to be outdone by the boys in their athletic activities, the freshmen girls organized a basketball team which won the inter-class tournament, defeating each of their opponents by a wide margin. The sororities called upon their freshmen pledges to enter the intra-mural debate tourney and they were agreeably surprised to find that the freshmen could deliver their arguments with considerable ability. The class did not sponsor a Freshmen Day but they attempted to make every day their day by actively participating in all the tournaments, contests, organiza- tions, and celebrations throughout the school year. The upperclassmen are looking to this year ' s class to carry on the work they have initiated on the campus.

Sorensen, Pearey, Nelson, Anderson [3 ( S T n A I I The Cardinals ' 1935 football season ' I D f L- L was a continuation of a trend which has been in progress since Mr. Sed Hartman began directing the athletic activities at the Municipal University of Omaha. First, the policy of facing more formidable teams each year was followed by tackling a tough nine game schedule which included four North Central Conference teams, four Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Associa- tion teams, and one non-conference affair. Second, the habit of pushing through each year ' s particular schedule in a creditable manner was continued as the squad won its second consecutive N. I. A. A. championship and bowed only to the three best teams of the North Central organization. The addition of Johnny Baker, former All-American guard from Southern Cal- ifornia and since then head coach at Iowa Teachers College, to act as line coach was undoubtedly one reason for the Cardinals ' enviable record. Baker believes in teaching by demonstration, and few were the practice sessions in which he didn ' t work fully as hard as the most determined aspirant to a regular berth. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK Omaha 14 Morningside 0 An early season affair found the Cardinals in good shape physically and they made their debut as a member of the North Central Conference with a victory over Morningside College ot Sioux City Held scoreless in the first half, Omaha waited for the breaks and used them when they came, Loder and Pearey each carrying the ball over after nice returns of punts by Tyler. Omaha 29 Ottawa 0 Scoring through the line, via the air route, and by the place- kick method, Omaha galloped roughshod over the Ottawa Uni- versity team on the latter ' s field. Their weight advantage nulli- fying the Ottawan ' s fighting spirit, the visitors line led Tyler, Pearey, and Boldenow to touchdowns while Brown s toe contri- buted three points from the 20 yard line. Omaha 19 Wayne 6 C A C de of five years standing was finally broken when Omaha journeyed to way e d overpowered the Wildcats to break the long standing fe Two of he Sird touchdowns came in the first four minutes of the game but Wayne scored after a fumbled punt and it was a real battle until Pearey ' s second touchdown of the evening cinched the game. Omaha 19 Kearney 0 Completing 12 of 16 passes and gaining consistently through the line, the Omahans were seldom in danger after the lone Antelope threat in the early minutes of the game were turned aside and Boldenow raced 70 yards with an intercepted pass. Pearey carried the ball over from the 20 yard mark for the first of his three evenings tallies. Omaha 31 Peru 0 The enthusiasm of Homecoming Day overcame the reputed power of muck to hold football scores down, and the all-school banquet in the evening had something to celebrate Reserves stole the show as Turner, Anderson, Nelson and Donlon, working behind a substitute line, scored three times in the final quarter. A 78 yard sprint by Anderson in this period was the longest jaunt of any Cardinal back during the season. COACH BAKER HE 19 3 6 Y Ki HAWK Omaha 6 South Dakota University 13 Backed by a trainload of student supporters the Cardinals had everything they needed at Vermillion except a defense against the Coyote spinner plays, Omaha scored first, but South Dakota came right back then broke the tie in the final period. Omaha 6 North Dakota State 20 From the very beginning it was apparent that the final score depended upon how many times Loder ' s toe could get the Cardinals out of a hole in one afternoon. Snow and mud handicapped the Omaha passing attack — their only hope against the heavy Bison line, and it never functioned until the fourth quarter when three tosses took the ball 65 yards, from where Pearey carried it over. Omaha 6 North Dakota University 14 North Dakota ' s reputedly powerful scoring machine was forced to the limit as Omaha played their best defensive game of the year. Howard Sorensen led the forward wall in stopping the visitors ' running attack with Brown and the rest of the hackfield soon halting those plays which sifted through. Omaha 28 Chadron 0 The dream of years, to literally trample on a Chadron team, was realized as the Cardinals outdowned them 24 to two and piled up over three hundred yards from scrimmage and passing. It was a soothing lotion after three defeats and a glorious finish to the team ' s first year in bigger time football. As would be expected, a team with so impressive a record included a few players who received mention when all-conference selections were made. In the North Cen- tral Pearey ' s great plunging and passing assured him of recognition while Johnk ' s dependable offensive and at times brilliant defensive performance earned him a place at center. In addition to these two, N. I. A. A. selections including Howard Sorensen, tackle, Melvin Boldencw, end and Noel King, guard on the first team with Brown, Loder, and Gardner named on the second eleven. KING H.

Last year ' s squad failed to account for any points in the Hastings and Drake Relays but gave indication of power in a quadrangular meet with Doane College, Wayne Teacher ' s College, and Nebraska Wesleyan when Tyler, Howard Sorensen, and Pearey scored most of the points which gave the Cardinals third place. A few weeks later in a five-team meet with Wayne, Midland, Beuna Vista, and Morning- side these three again contributed most of the points toward the team ' s second place standing. Four first places in the N. I. A. A. Conference meet on May 18 gave Omaha third place. These were Anderson ' s tie for first in the broad jump, and the victories of Pearey in the javelin, Howard Sorensen in the discus, and Tyler in the high hurdles. Other places were won by Pearey, H. Sorensen, Tyler, N. Sorensen, Slump, and Olson. The North Central Conference meet the following week found Pearey winning the javelin, and Tyler the high hurdles in which Pearey placed second. Other places were won by Tyler and Pearey and H. Sorensen, Anderson, Slump, and Olson. This year ' s team plans to concentrate on the N. C. A. C. Meet with possibly a few meets in preparation. T U E 1 O TOM AH KOZAK, BOLTE, BOLDENOW, COACH BAKER Nelson, Baade, Johnk, Pearey, Brown RAfl TTDAl I A new coach ' a cnan g ed lineu P participation D oI C I BALL, in a different conference, and the unusual exper- ience of losing most of the games— these will be the memories left to Omaha Uni- versity Basketball fans by the 1935-36 season. It was the first time in four seasons that the trio of Patterson, Curtis, and Wilk- inson did not have three of the positions cinched, and the result was a wide open scramble for starting berths which lasted the whole season. Baade and Johnk held their starting positions from the previous year and with Pearey and Nelson, formerly substitutes, and Brown, Boldencw, and Bolte did most of the playing. Realizing the difficult task of trying to build a basketball team from such a squad of football players Coach Baker tried to substitute unrelenting drive for skill until the latter could be developed. Even at times when it seemed to have nothing else, the squad did have speed and fire, and a large percentage of their points were attributable THE 1936 TOMAHAWK NELSON t } the fast breaking style of offense employed. Such methods naturally led to rough games and numerous fouls. During the season one hundred seventy-five were called on the Card- inals, and they had about an equal number committed against them since they received two hundred ten gift shots. Incidentally, fail- ure to cash in on these chances was costly for only one hundred seventeen were made. The schedule, consisting of twelve North Central Conference games and two pre-con- ference season games with Wayne Normal School marked the second season of basketball competition in this conference. After dividing the early series with Wayne 26-22 and 26-39 the team lost three in a row to the University of North Dakota 26-42, North Dakota State 27-29, and again to North Dakota Uni- versity 19-37. Then following the high mark of the season when Bill Nelson ' s last minute basket nosed out South Dakota University 34-33, and Morningside was de- feated 31-25. Five more losses were followed by a 34-21 victory over Iowa State Teachers and an extra period defeat by Morningside 36-41. Despite their record of three victories and nine losses and last place in the con- ference standings, the Cardinals placed two men, Johnk, with eighty-five points and Baade with seventy-three points among the ten high scorers of the North Central Conference. In total scoring for the season, however, Baade led Johnk by a bare three points, ninety-five and ninety-two. Brown was third in the team list with sixty- eight points, and led in percentage of free throws made with twenty-two out of thirty- five. Altogether the team scored four hun- dred points. North Dakota University won the conference championship by winning twelve games and losing only one. All members of the squad will return next year except Nelson and Pearey. The ad- dition of several promising members of the freshman squad and the additional strength pearey provided by Strobehn and Kersenbrock who joined this year in midseason give indication that next year ' s record will be better. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK FRESHMAN FOOTBALL One of the chief concerns of both the coach and the followers of athletic teams is for the ma- terial which will be available from which to build next year ' s teams. All the time their attention may appear to be focused upon what is happening during the current season but in reality a great deal of their thought is occupied with potentialities. The coach prob- ably sees an entirely different game from the one observed by spectators, however, for no player appears as bad to him as to those in the stands and likewise he can always see possibilities for improvement in the star who appears faultless to the stands. The task of recognizing and developing this future material makes the position of freshman coach an important one, so with the placing of Johnny Baker as line coach, Warren Howard was put in charge of the freshmen. The 1935 freshman squad was the first to be so segregated, due to North Cen- tral Conference rules and likewise it was the first to be able to compete in scrim- mage with the varsity on its own strength. Averaging about 180 pounds in weight they presented a different appearance from the featherweight squads of previous years. In conference competition the yearlings faired poorly. In a game on their own field with the South Dakota University freshmen they lost 20-6. Poor punting and failure of the line to open any appreciable number of holes were chiefly re- sponsible for the defeat. A few weeks later these young Cards journeyed to Sioux City where they were trounced 24-7 by the Morningside freshmen. After the first half in which neither team seemed to hold much advantage, the Omahans crumbled, and allowed two touchdowns and a safety to be scored. Attempting to pick freshman stars and predict bright varsity futures is rather uncertain, but nevertheless there is little doubt that several of this year ' s freshman squad will eventually win recognition. Kulper, Reiman, Kersenbrock, LaMantia, Harper, and Mason are likely to see considerable action. Kulper, a former Lincoln High player is a good passer, kicker, and ball carrier and undoubtedly the pick of the group. The loss of Leo Pearey will make Kulper ' s services doubly appreciated. Mason is also a good kicker and an able blocker. Reiman and Harper, two Hawaiians have shown considerable defensive ability. The former ' s pass-catching ability should prove valuable while Harper can give Johnk some relief at center. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK Fr | I I A A A k. I When Sed Hartman relinquished his position [ t O II V i IN as head coach of basketball to John Baker, he proceeded to use his experience in the less pub- licized but nevertheless essential role of freshman basketball coach. BASKETBALL Like the varsity squad the squad boasted no surplus of good material, and like the varsity their record of games won and lost was unimpressive. Two games with Morningside composed the conference competition and both were dropped. Other games were played as preliminaries to varsity games, with various commercial teams as opponents. The freshmen about broke even in these five tilts. Likely prospects for next year include Kersenbrock and Strohbehn who moved up to the varsity at the beginning of the second semester and Kulper, Gardner, Mid- dlekauf, Pike, and Eyl. I kl T 1 A AA I in A I The early weeks of the second semester II N I l Y 1 V- In |_ saw a crowd-drawing series of inter tour- naments— Inter-mural, Inter-class, and Inter-flat. Under the direction of Kenneth Hargrove and Dexter Nygaard of the Pan-Hellenic council, the Intra-Mural tour- nament was the most extensive ever planned. It included a round robin of three games each week between the three fraternity teams and three barb teams entered. The Theta Phi Delta team went through their schedule without defeat to win the championship. Belau, Ryan, Rogers, Loder, and Keaton were the usual start- ing lineup. A liberal interpretation of the rules by referee Leo Pearey was chiefly responsible for the popularity of the games from the spectators ' point of view, for realizing the lack of actual basketball talent, Mr. Pearey allowed such football tactics as did not endanger life to be used— especially by the barb teams, Ramblers, Indians, and Mohawks. Belau, Rundlett, Ryan, and Riggins were the four leading scorers. As soon as this affair was finished the players realigned themselves according to classes and staged an Inter-class tournament which was won by the freshman team. With their obvious advantage of a season ' s competition together they easily defeated the Juniors and they downed the Seniors in the finals 36-33. Varsity players had their chance to perform before the strictly local crowd when an inter-flat game showed rough basketball as it should be played. The team of Johnk, Pearey, Tyler and Co. defeated Gardner Bros., Bolte, and Boldenow, Inc. The purpose of such contests is to allow a larger number than is usual to compete in athletics and from that standpoint the games were a success since over seventy entered the meets.

The council consists of five seniors; four juniors, and two sophomores. By amending the constitution of the Student Council, the appointment of the committees for the two major events of the year, Homecoming and Ma-ie Day, was placed in the hands of the council. Approval of the amendments was given by the students in a special forum. As the University ' s representatives in Who ' s Who, the following were selected: Dorothy Anderson, Ellen Hartman, Bernice Perimeter, Kenneth Hargrove, John Moucka, and Kenneth Turner. The council has also : been considering the installation of an amplifier in the gymnasium to stimulate the social life of the school. The surplus left from the last Homecoming will be contributed toward the purchase. To demonstrate the amplifier to the students, an all school dance, the Sweater Swing, was held March 27.

Heckman. Those who participated in debates with other schools were Josephine Carroll, Lucille Hurlbut, Bernice Perimeter, Fannie Witkin, Macy Baum and Hymen Fink- elstein. Others in the debate squad were Eunice Eggers, Anna Goodbinder, and Lyle Hunzeker. The question debated throughout the year was Resolved: That Congress by a two-thirds majority vote shall have the power to override a decision of the Supreme Court declaring acts unconstitutional. Teams were entered in tournaments at Dana College, Maryville State Teachers College, and Hastings College. A team also debated the student body of Doane College, but proposed trips to Vermillion, South Dakota, Sioux City, Iowa, and Em- poria, Kansas, had to be canceled because of hazardous weather conditions. An intramural forensic tournament was held in the spring, and was won by Kappa Psi Delta. 19 3 6 HAWK Power, Shepherd, Boyce, Peterson, Reisser, Scholes, Otto Ferlmeter, Eridckson, Winters, Coleman, Benson, Robertson, Lieben, Reynolds, Campbell Hartman, Johnson, Phillips, McIlvaine, Rankin, King, Bush, Lane, Hurlbut Sigma Tau Delta — Sincerety, Truth and Design. With this as a motto, the national English fraternity _ a , strives to advance the study of the chief literary I f II J 1 1 masterpieces, encourage worthwhile reading, promote a mastery of written expression, and foster a spirit of fellowship among students of the English language. Kappa Gamma Chapter was founded in 1931 at the University of Omaha. The meetings of the group this year included an address by Dr. A. Dayle Wallace on Horace Walpole and His Letters, a review of Old Jules by Mildred Morrison Gearhart, and a series of round table discussions on original essays and poems of members of the society. An award of ten dollars is made annually for the best lit- erary composition submitted to the group and a small magazine, The Little Grub, is published each month by the chapter. Officers for the year were Irene Rankin, president; Arthur King, vice-president; Zoe Patricia Bush, secretary; Erval McIlvaine, treasurer; and Dr. Benjamin Boyce, sponsor. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK k A A II Pk AV A day of fun and pleasure, of sport and play, of MA ■ DAY eating, dancing, and acting personifies the schedule for Ma-ie Day of 1935 and will undoubtedly hold true for this year ' s spring festival; for Howard Sorensen, last year ' s chairma n, was again selected to plan the annual holiday. The committee, chosen by the Student Council, also includes Dr. Lymen Harris, faculty sponsor; Leo Pearey, senior; Virginia Lee Long, junior; Macy Baum, sopho- more and Jane Cook, freshman. Proposed plans follow closely those of last year. The date is Thursday, May 14 and the place is Peony Park. It is hoped that this Ma-ie Day can be celebrated as a real out-door festival. Of course, the unknown quantity, old man weather, will be the deciding factor. Again the outstanding semors will be named, and the Princess Attira will be crowned. From ten in the morning until midnight, university students will frolic, and the last few hours will be taken up with dancing to tunes played by Jack Swanson ' s orchestra. Last year, the goal for selling 500 tickets for the Ma-ie Day outing at Peony Park on May 16 was reached with Wade Knapp as ticket chairman. The chilly, rainy atmosphere prevented swimming, but all other forms of sport were enjoyed. Late in the afternoon, the crowning of Eleanor Archie Larson ' 35 as Princess Attira took place Other candidates, nominated by the sororities, were Eileen Christensen, Phi Delta Psi; Nana Davis, Kappa Psi Delta; Sue Kemper, Pi Omega Pi; and Joan Reasoner, Gamma Sigma Omicron. Those seniors, deemed outstanding because of leadership in some school activity, were named and given activity feathers. The honored students were Eleanor Larson, Mary Rigg, Franklin Buxton, Lowell Curtis, Gene Hoover, Howard Sorensen, Wood- row Tietsort, and Marlin Wilkinson. Professor Hugh Orr, faculty sponsor of Ma-ie Day, was also awarded an activity feather. In the evening a three act musical comedy, Pass the Buck, was given. The play a takeoff on the university and its Indian plans, was written by Martin Spekter ex ' 38 and Adolph Schneider, ex ' 36. Virginia Lee Long directed the show. The lead roles were played by Nana Davis and Harold Grau. The other actors in the cast were Myrna George, Jane Vincent, Paul Brawner, Glen Cunningham, Robert Fnt- choff, Edward Kersenbrock and Lewis Leigh. Backstage as property men could be found Duane Butler, George Knipprath and Robert Race. In the good old college tradition, the end of a perfect day was culminated by a dance at which the College Club Orchestra played. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK Princess Eleanor Larson TOMAHAWK I i — 11— A A I k I A precedent for permanent Indian tra- HO V cL vJ V I IN W ditions was successfully launched by the Homecoming celebration sponsored by the Student Council on Friday, October 25, 1935. The day was formally opened by the presentation of Elinor Johnson as the prin- cess chosen by the students to rule over all Homecoming activities. Garbed in an Indian ceremonial gown and escorted by two braves, John Moucka and Carson Rogers, Elinor was. introduced by Hymen Finkelstein to the student rally on the cam- pus early in the morning. The new princess is president of Pi Omega Pi sorority and an active member of Feathers, girls pep organization, and Women ' s Athletic Associ- ation. She is also past vice-president of Sigma Pi Phi, education fraternity. Other candidates were Fay Lane, Sigma Chi Omicron; Gladys Lehr, Phi Delta Psi; Elaine Coulter, Gamma Sigma Omicron; Theda Anthes, Kappa Psi Delta,; and Mary Ann Har- rington, ' Barbs. Only those who purchased tickets to the banquet and dance could vote for the princess. Although a drizzling rain threatened to dampen exuberant spirits, a parade, six blocks long, of floats and cars meandered through the downtown district in the forenoon. The princess and braves led the procession, and every Greek organization, the Barbs, the Feathers, and The Gateway followed in floats decorated in true Indian style, with beribboned cars bringing up the rear. Slogans and effigies on the down- fall of the Peruvian Bobcats, the football opponents of the day, were promiscuously prominent. With its two life-size Indian heads mounted on each side of the truck ' s body and the stuffed bobcat, the Alpha Gamma Chi ' s float will long be remembered as the prizewinner. Lewis Leigh was in charge of the parade. In the afternoon, the enthusiastic rooters gathered at the N. S. S. A. field to wit- ness the second victory of the football season. Amid hilarious and hearty cheers, the Cardinals skinned the Bobcats 31-0. Back to the campus in the evening, the students, alumni, and the faculty attended the banquet in Jacobs ' Hall. Over 300 guests were present. The main speaker of the evening was Dr. Floyd J. Murray, member of the Board of Regents. Macy Baum acted as toastmaster; other speakers were President Rowland Haynes, representing the faculty; Reed Zimmerman, speaking for the University of Omaha Alumni As- sociation; and Ellen Hartman, junior vice-president. Homecoming was concluded with a dance in Jacobs ' Hall after the banquet at which Gordon Quiller ' s band played. ■19 3 6 AKAWK TOMAHAWK is r l mi I S A T I f K I C A11 student publications on the campus PUBLIC A I I J IN Oof the University of Omaha are authorized by the Board of Student Publications. The Board is composed of three faculty mem- bers and two students, elected at large by the student body. The Gateway, weekly student newspaper; the Student Directory which is com- piled in the autumn of each year; and The Tomahawk are under the direct supervision of the Board. The staffs are selected by the Board from petitions submitted by the students. The Board makes its choice on a basis of scholarship, character and ex- perience. All policies adopted by the editorial staffs and all contracts drawn up by the business staffs are subject to the approval of the Board. An award of five dollars is made each semester by the Board for the best news story, feature story and editorial appearing in the Gateway. A five dollar prize was awarded Lyle Hunzeker and Lewis Leigh for the name, The Tomahawk, which was selected in a contest sponsored by the Board. A committee comprising Dr. Benjamin Boyce, head of the English department; Faye Lane, chairman; Kenneth Turner, Student Council president; Kenneth Hargrove, Pan-Hel president; and John Moucka, senior class president, selected the name. The 1935-1936 Student Directory was edited by George Knipprath. He was assisted by Lois Medlock, George Threadgill, Gladys Hall and Francis Nelson. In addition to the names and addresses of the students and faculty, the Directory contained a list of the members of each organization on the campus and their officers. Serving on the Board of Student Publications this year were William D. Maclay, A. Dayle Wallace and Lyman H. Harris, faculty members; and Faye Lane and John Moucka, student representatives. Dr. V. Royce West, chairman of the Board, was granted a year ' s leave and during his absence Dr. Maclay was appointed to the chairmanship, Dr. Wallace served as editorial advisor of The Gateway this year, the position formerly held by Dr. West. The Tomahawk staff was assisted by Dr. Harris and Dr. Maclay. Faye Lane, who has been student representative for the past two years, is secretary of the Board. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK Nelson, Gammon, Leigh, Lee Fisher, Hartman, Pearey, Jensen Hudson, Grenville, Wemmer, Johnson, Hurlbut, Noe THE TOMAHAWK The Tomahawk is the ultimate realization of a long cherished dream of the Board of Student Publications. The last University of Omaha yearbook was published in 1929. Interest among the students and the faculty in such a project has waned during the intervening years but the Board did not give up the hope of eventu- ally sponsoring a yearbook for the University. In December 1935 the Board met and selected a staff of fifteen students to prepare a yearbook for publication in the spring. The staff was handicapped by limited funds and time, and the lack of pre- cedents in style and theme that might be followed. Most of the staff had had no journalistic training but they were enthusiastic about the task they had undertaken and they were persistent in their efforts to interest the students in the yearbook. Actual work on The Tomahawk was begun several months before the name for the book was chosen. A theme, such as the title would suggest, was not used as the plan of the book was completed before the title was decided upon. The staff felt that the people of whom the University is composed should be the yearbook ' s center of interest and so in this first volume of The Tomahawk they have tried to present a composite picture of the University, the faculty, the students and their activities. For this reason the yearbook has not been devoted to the senior class as is customary of most college annuals. It is hoped that The 1936 Tomahawk is the first of many volumes to be published in succeeding years at the University of Omaha. TOMAHAWK Ellen Hartman Macy Baum John Pearson . _ + A TT V A V The Gatewa y ' the official student pub- THE I bWAY lication which appears on the campus each Friday following the convocation period, owes its success during the past year to Ellen Hartman and John Pearson, juniors, who served as editors and who were as- sisted by a news staff of twenty students. The paper has been under the advisorship of Dr. William D. Maclay, chairman of the Board of Student Publication, and Dr. Lyman H. Harris and A. Dayle Wallace. Business Manager Macy Baum carried on the advertising end of the paper throughout the year with the assistance of Sam Adams, Gerald Gross and George Threadgill. Baum also managed the circulation department of The Gateway, dis- tributing the papers to the students on the day of publication and sending them out to subscribers. During the year several six-page editions of The Gateway app eared. On April 1 a humor edition, printed on orange and yellow paper, was circulated on the cam- pus. There were several regular columns conducted in each issue of the paper. One of the most popular of these was The Keyhole, the campus gossip column. Other popular features of The Gateway were the caricatures of the faculty, drawn by Max- ine Sunderman; the weekly magazine review by Lloyd Lee; and a new column, It ' s In The Cards, introduced this year and conducted by Leo Pearey.

Moving pictures of winter sports of Garmisch- Partenkirchen and a trip through Germany were shown at the Club ' s Christmas party. A declamatory contest for students of German in the local high schools was held April 17 at the University under the auspices of the Club. A banquet at the Omaha Musik Verein, at which German Consul Val J. Peter and interested patrons of the Club were guests, completed the activities of the group for the year. The following students served as officers: Gustave Faulkner, pres- ident; Frances Savage, vice-president; June Erickson, secretary; and Ralph Kline, treasurer. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK P™ A A P The Pre-Medic Club was originally organized in 1928 InC YVC vJ O by Walker Thompson and Willard Hill and sponsored by M iss Nell Ward, associate professor of chemistry. The objective, then as now, is to give the members contact with the profession they plan, to enter, to learn the values to be obtained from the pre-medical course, and to give a fellowship among those in- terested in the same branch of education. The club meets every other Friday in the Science Hall at ten o ' clock, at which time speakers from the medical profession are guests. There is an annual dinner each fall with a well-known medical man as guest speaker.

Notable chemists from Omaha and the surrounding territory are invited to speak at these meetings. Membership is open to those who expect to obtain a minor or a major in chem- istry, but the meetings are open to all who ' are interested.

The K I O I V purpose of the fraternity is to promote scholarship and in- terest in chemistry. Membership ' is obtained primarily by high scholarship, and dif- ferent degrees of honors in the fraternity are increased as the individual scholarship of its members is maintained in advance study. Each year the society gives a dinner at which a guest professor from some other university speaks on some important phase of chemistry. In the spring of 1935 Gamma Pi Sigma sponsored an industrial tour of twenty large manufacturing concerns of the city, and the entire school participated in it. Gamma Pi Sigma also sponsors an annual contest in general inorganic chem- istry. It is in the form of an oral spell down and is open to all students interested.

Its membership consists of those men who have been awarded letters for competition in any sport, the chief activity of the group during the past year has been centered around the project of securing funds to purchase the gold footballs emblematic of winning the N. I. A. A. Championship. The athletic department of the school while willing to purchase these, was financially unable to do so. A dance held at Peony Park on April 17 to provide the money for this pro- ject was the occasion of the selection of Lillian Andersen as 0 Club Sweetheart. She was presented with an O sweater by Howard Sorensen, president of the group. In addition she received a season pass to all next year ' s athletic events.

Dressed in their cardinal and black sweaters and skirts, the twenty-one women in the group were enthusiastic followers of the varsity teams throughout the football and basketball season. When a train was. chartered for the Cardinal game with the University of South Dakota, November 2, at Vermillion, eighteen Feathers boarded the Football Special. The club assisted the Student Council during the Home-coming festival and served the dinner to the four hundred students and alumni at the Homecoming banquet in Jacobs ' Hall. Feathers ushered at special convocations during the year and at the autumn and spring Orchesis recitals. Membership in the organization is limited to three women from each sorority and six non-affiliated representatives. Officers for the first year were Dorothy An- derson, president; Bertha Slutsky, vice-president; Ardith Hudson, secretary; and Ruth Grenville, treasurer. THE 1936 TOMAHAWK RATHER ROUGH ON ROBERT THE FLORIST SHOP 19 3 6 HAWK rvr% A A A A -ri The dramatic classes of the speech department J | V I I have rounded out a full and active year. On seventy- five different occasions this department has provided by readings and plays entertain- ment for churches, clubs and other organizations of the city. Mrs. Jean Jarmin assisted by Bess Greer has succeeded in attracting, using and revealing much talent in the University. About sixty students have participated in the activities, and ad- vanced students have directed some of the productions. Among the numerous plays given were Varnishing Day, presented at Joslyn Memorial and five other places; The Dust of the Road, a Christmas play given at Joslyn Memorial and the Community Playhouse; The Toy Heart, enacted at Brownell Hall; Little Prison, given at the W. A. A. basketball banquet; The Twelve Pound Look and The Clod. Recitals have been given by the beginning and advanced repertoire classes, and the practical public speaking class gave a mock banquet.

THE 1936 TOMAHAWK Standing, Savage, Shepherd, Marrs, Young, Saltares, Thompson, Stahmer, Dilger Kneeling, Johnson, Raymond, Williams Seated, Cook, Maxwell, Stringer, Arnold p. f | II— Orchesis has developed from a small group of V lxV H CZOl O women interested in creative dancing, who in 1931 met once a week with Miss Ruth Diamond, into a large organization composed of two classes, one the concert dancers and the other the regular Orchesis class. The two groups combined several times during the year to give lecture demon- strations and to present an autumn and a spring recital. The combined classes also gave a program of dances requested by the students a,t the Ma-ie Day festival. The concert dancers demonstrated a Humanities lecture given by Miss Diamond, February 19, and on March 11 they appeared before the Omaha Junior Chamber of Commerce. In April the concert group journeyed to St. Louis, Missouri to present a dance symposium before the American Physical Education Association. Orchesis has continued under the capable direction of Miss Diamond since those first meetings in 1931. Miss Betty Fellman, piano accompanist, has greatly assisted the group in their dance interpretations with her arrangements and original com- positions for the piano. 19 3 6 MlCKNA, Stakmer, Dieterich, Stromberg, Betlach, Obradvich, Stuart, Olson, Prall Knudsen, Harrington, Savage, Dansky, Buckland, Korney, Cook, Saltares, Johnson Kristensen, Perlmeter, Hirsch, Damask, Arnold, Ericson, Williams, Johnson Harriet Benson, McCraney, Geislar, Wemmer, Forehead, Williams, Grenvtlle, Raymond, Rohacek, Young, Thompson, Miss Ruth Diamond, Stringer W A A To promote athletic activities to the end of a higher physical •   efficiency and the creation of a spirit of good sportsmanship is the aim of the Women ' s Athletic Association formed at the University in 1931. Mem- bership is open to all women enrolled in the University who actively participate in one of the activities of the Association which include soccer, archery, hiking, volley- ball, basketball, ping pong, Nebraska,-ball, tennis, golf, shuffleboard, badminton, and baseball. A reception for the freshmen girls was held September 23 in the Women ' s Fac- ulty building to begin a series of activities sponsored by W. A. A. which continued throughout the year. Thirty-five women were initiated into the organization at a Hallowe ' en party, October 30. To raise funds to send delegates to the national convention of W. A. A., the Association sponsored a benefit card party November 19 in Jacobs ' Hall. The following week sixty women attended a soccer banquet honoring the victors in the soccer tournament which had been in progress at Kountz park since the first of the semester. THE 19 3 6 TOMAHAWK Six teams entered the volleyball tournament which began December 4 and continued for two weeks. The Pi Omege Pi team won the championship by defeating the Pi O pledges 23 to 21. The freshmen won the in- terclass basketball tournament, conquering the junior team 17 to 12. The intramural championship went to the Pi Omege Pi team. At the close of the basket- ball season, W. A. A. held a banquet at the Studio Inn to which all the teams competing in the tourna- ments were invited. One hundred couples attended the W. A. A. Leap Year Hop February 28. The dance was a vice-versa affair and the men were somewhat confused by the female stag line and the heavily ladened girls waiting to check the wraps, and not a little timid about wearing the lovely corsages which their escorts had purchased. In March the group sponsored a four day charm school at which the University coeds heard lectures on cosmetology, hairdressing, etiquette at formal teas and din- ners, personality, and the value of posture. A style show featuring members of W. A. A. modeling new spring styles concluded the charm school. Eight girls accompanied by Miss Ruth Diamond, athletic director and sponsor of the organization, attended the national con- vention of the Association from April 22 to April 25 at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. The sixth annual Play Day sponsored by W. A. A. for high school girls in Omaha, Council Bluffs, and neighboring towns was held May 9 at the University. Ten girls from each high school participated in this event which aims to teach how to enjoy sports without strenuous competition. A spring banquet completed the activities of W. A. A. for this year. Officers for the year were Hortense Geislar, president; Elinor Johnson, vice-president; Phyllis Knudsen, sec- retary; and Eloise Johnson, treasurer. WK TOMAH 19 3 6 y P I™ y The social life on the University of Omaha campus [ [Z tl l centers in the activities of six sororities and four fra- A TTIV IT I r™0 ternities. Teas, firesides, dinner dances, pledge and tWm+ I I Y I I I tLZ O formal dances, and a variety of informal parties fill the social calendar of the University students. Ninety students were pledged to the Greek organizations last fall following a hectic week of parties and rushing. The Pan-Hellenic dance, given at the Chermot ballroom on September 21, gave the signal to the various pledge groups to begin formulating plans for the dances they give for the active members of their organiza- tions. On Saturday evening, October 12, a Nautical Hop in Jacobs ' Hall, given by Gamma Sigma Omicron sorority, opened the pledge dance season. The Sig Chi girls issued clever bids, designed of Scotch plaid ribbons, to their Highland Fling the following week-end. Seven dances were held during November. On the first day of the month the pledges of Theta Phi Delta gave their dance in Jacobs ' Hall, using the fraternity colors of purple, white, and gold to brighten the interior of the Hall. The Phi Sig ' s had pledged three boys from Hawaii and with the aid of these three, the pledges planned a Hawaiian friendship dance which they gave on November 8 at the Club Cabette, calling it the Aloha Ball. The next night the boys of Alpha Sigma Lambda departed from their usual scheme of conservative entertainments and installed hook and ladder, hose and siren in the gym to furnish atmosphere for their Fireman ' s Brawl. The Phi Delt bids to their Great Broadcast on November 15 were black and white microphones, and black music staffs, stretched across the ceiling of Jacobs ' Hall and dotted with bright colored notes, carried out the musical theme they had adopted for their dance. Ladders, black cats, umbrellas, and five leaf clovers were the motif of the Kappa Jittery Hop on the night of November 23. The following evening Alpha Gamma. Chi sorority gave a Snow Dance in the gym. The last of the pledge dances was given the night after Thanksgiving Day when the Pi O pledges entertained for their actives at the College Rhythm dance. Immediately following the close of the pledge dances, plans for formal dances became the topic of discussion at sorority and fraternity meetings. On December 21 in the ballroom of the Paxton Hotel the Gamma ' s again gave the opening dance. The following week, with Anna Mae Winburn ' s Cotton Club Boys supplying the music in the Fontenelle Hotel ballroom, the Pi O ' s sponsored a highly successful formal dance. TOMAHAWK The formal season was interrupted following the Pi O dance for final examina- tions registration and mid-year rushing. Thirteen pledges were taken in by the sororities and frats at the beginning of the second semester. The Phi Sig ' s gave their annual Sweetheart Swing at the Chermot on St. Valentine ' s Day and no more formal dances were given until the first week-end in March when the Kappa ' s and the Alpha Gamma Chi ' s both entertained. The Sig Chi ' s preceded their dance on March 13 at the Fontenelle with a dinner party for their active and alumnae members. The next night Theta Phi Delta fraternity also gave a dinner and a formal at the Fontenelle. As with their pledge dance, the Alpha Sig ' s broke away from the customary formal dance plans and gave a. dinner dance on April 3 to which they issued only seventy-five bids. The girls blossomed out in gay spring formals and the boys in flannels at the Phi Delta dance May 8, which closed the formal season. All of the dances, rushing, and other activities of the Greek organizations are regulated by the Pan Hellenic Council. Each sorority and fraternity sends one delegate to the Council. The faculty committee on student activities serves as an advisory beard for the Council. The members of this committee are Miss Ruth Diamond, Dr. Wilfred Payne, Dr. Leslie Owen Taylor, Dean Rene H. Stevens, and Dean Lloyd Bradfield. In addition to supervising the social activities of the school this year, the Council, under the leadership of President Kenneth Hargrove, was instrumental in creating more student enthusiasm in the athletic activ- ities of the University. A committee, composed of Dorothy Anderson, Don Ryan, and Kenneth Hargrove, was appointed to organize a pep squad. The organization of Feathers, a women ' s pep club with limited membership, was the re- sult of the work of this committee and was ac- complished largely through the efforts of Dorothy Anderson. The student trip to Vermil- lion, South Dakota for the Cardinal ' s game with South Dakota University last fall was made pos- sible through the Pan-Hellenic Council. The Council also sponsored the intra-mural basket- ball and debate tournaments during the early part of spring. There is no doubt that the sororities and fraternities are important social units, but they are also ardent workers toward creating a school spirit and supporting the activ- ities of the University.

This ungrateful blackguard was in the solitud- es of the Dean ' s office this morning as a result of a time- ly capture by Inspector Willie A. Ward, chief of detectives (dirt) last night and it is rumored that a full confes- sion will soon be in official hands. With the capture of Med- dler Mel, Inspector Ward and his husky detecting crew have uncovered one of the most baffling robbery mysteries in the history of the school. For two years, powder-puffs, ear- rings, shoe horns, compacts, doilies, paper-weights, and many other trifles dear to fem- inine hearts have been slyly disappearing frcm the Women ' s Faculty building, but that is all ended now. Once more the women of the faculty and the co-eds may inhabit their quiet retreat without fear of again facing the world without the bene- fits of make up. No more will some one jump out of dark comers and scream, ' loan me a dime !

Just Tired and worn after four years of studying without the benefits enjoyed by her fel- low classmates, Ethel Sachse in an interview recently loud- ly proclaimed that she is glad her school days are over.

Is it any won- der they are nervous and jumpy, that they go to sleep in class, or are forgetting to dye their hair or polish their finger nails? Or are we wrong ?

With their war cry, gurgle, gurgle, slurp, ringing through the rafters cf the library base- ment and the organization ' s flag, a staff of peppermint can- dy with a banner in the shape of a Pansy, waving over the whole, the Royal Order of Scftbellies finished their local convention last Thursday. Ivan Ofulitch was elected Chief Yellow Spine, at the final meeting. The convention was unique in that only three attended, Ofulitch, Willie Rushme, and Scan Farther. Since the num- ber was so small a majority vote could not be reached on many matters; often they cast many ballots before a final decision could be ob- tained. However the group soon welded together as one and passed the following res- olutions. 1. Be it known to all that our club will be connect- ed with V. F. W. (Vee Fear Wars) 2. Our motto is, If the first bullet misses us, we can surely outrun the second one. 3. Our uniforms will be of baby blue and shell pink, with long sleeves, to re- mind us that we won ' t bear arms. 4.

This startling news was re- vealed to the student body today in a letter received by President Haynes from Verne Sunderland, archeologist and former student of the Uni- versity. Always known as a loyal and charitable soul, Mr. Sun- derland has again made his name a magnetic stepping- stone to the future greatness of the proposed institution by including an annual endow- ment of twenty dollars in his generous offer. The letter, which was mail- ed from Sunburnt, Texas, ex- plained that while the arch- eologist was serving his ap- prenticeship digging an irrig- ation ditch with several other college graduates, they suddenly unearthed a massive indian burial ground. With the extreme care of every fol- lower of his. profession, Mr. Sunderland, who for conveni- ence ' s sake we shall call Verne, scraped and shoveled the loose dirt from around the dead injuns. After more than thirty thousand of the corpses had been uncovered, the young men, with Verne as leader, at- tempted to lift them from the ditch but, alas, they were un- believingly heavy and resisted all efforts of the crew. To make a long story much sh orter, the letter stated that the archeologists, after an ex- amination of the corpses, found a large quantity of lead bullets embedded therein. It seems that a terrific battle had been waged between the indians and a colony of set- tlers way back when and (Continued to Page 5) LITTLE LASS LAMENTS LENGTH 6% By Volume Puni Muni Uni, Date As In Fig Page 2 The Scalper Published to fill up space in the year book and under the article of confederation as a protest against some of the practices of present day environments SCRIBBLERS Big Noise Chief Hollow Tooth Fall Guy Chief Iron Brain Indians of the Rear Rank Tom-A-Hawk, Bead-I Tom-Tom Beaters Pass The- Buck, Sling- The-Bull, Lou-The Loafer Chief Run-And-Jump Bowl- And- Arrow- Rebels and Renegades Man-O-War, Dark-Lead, First-Warrior, Second-Warrior, Third- Warrior, Et-Cetera, So-Am-I, How- Are- You, Fine-Thank-You ITCHING PALMISTS Hot-Shot First-Installment Not-So-Hot-Shot Paid-in Full Advice To Lettermen The lettermen adopted a. new style of letter sweater this year, hoping to eliminate wearing a shirt and con- sequently reduce their laundry bills. It would seem that the men have lost a number of their feminine admirers as a result of this, act of economy. The necklines are not very flattering and give the men the appearance of having extremely long necks. The creamy whitness of the flesh revealed by the necks of these new sweaters tends to detract from their masculinity and virility, two qualities to which the fairer sex are inevitably attracted. Several of the lettermen have attempted to overcome this unbecoming effect by inserting a detachable collar just inside the neck of the sweater. They have not proved very successful because only a slight movement of either shoulder is required to separate the collar and the shirt, thus revealing again that delicate white flesh. The sweaters do give the wearers the appearance of having very large chests and arm, muscles, but just a mere shirt would be preferable to these new sweaters worn with- out shirts. Something will have to be done to remedy the situation or the girls will desert the home talent and seek shirted heroes in distant fields.

Gee, it surely is tough that Jim finally ran out of car fare and is now intombed in the biggest lighted grave-yard in the world, Council Bluffs, the unthriving mietropolis of dead-beats and die-hards.

Pictures, beaut- iful pictures, just the stuff for dumb athletes. The writer, through his magic crayon takes one rapidly from Spain and the mighty Columbus, up the coast of young America, over the river and mountains down a waterfall or two straight into the rifle bore of good old Daniel Boone. Leav- ing Daniel ' s gun one meets Presidents Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, and weeps at the death bed of Wil- liam Henry Harrison. After the funeral one is carried into the malstrom of the Mexican war, (if you are lucky you can pass up the picture of Davey Crockett and his Bowie knife). Again leaving the gruesome scene, a picture of the $15,000,00 ' spent for Lou- isiana is so vivid as to ' cause even a ripple in a counterfeit- er ' s blood pressure.

Hockey Team Downs Men From Mountains Omaha ' s ice-hockey team brought its 1936 season to a successful close last night by soundly beating an inspired team from the Ozark moun- tains 22-8 at the 24th and Ames rink. Two seniors com- peting in their last game were the stars, Leftwing John Had- field and Gooly Lyle Hunze- ker, dazzling the huge crowd with their superb ice-skating and team play. The game was very rough. Sixteen penalties were called during the contest. At one time Omaha had only four men on the ice because the rest of the team, had been sent to the boards because of rough play. However, no one was badly injured and every- thing worked out all right. This, the last game, made the twenty-fourth consecu- tive victory for the plucky Cardinals and Coach Martin Bush promises a returning squad next year who will keep up the wonderful record.

Synthetic Dancers Trip The Fantastic Results of three years of constant labor, correcting and development will soon be ac- knowledged by a large au- dience when a new dancing creation, Tripping the Light Fantastic, is presented by Miss Ruthie Diamond and her ' syn- thetic dancing ' class. The cre- ation will be previewed the latter part of this week on the crystal floor of the Women ' s Faculty building. All reserved seats have been sold. Seven women have been in the class since the creation was first realized, Sann Raymond, El-Freeze Johnson, Tulane Coulter, El-More Johnson, Mickey Meyers, Hesitant Geis- ler, Butch the Slasher, and Monk the Rip. The latter two add color to the theme, which has been built around the erection of Boulder Dam. The dance depicts the antics of the cement workers high a- bove the dam scaffolding and climaxes with a daring repro- duction of a bell hop climb- ing forty flights of stairs with a message to the chief en- gineer. The costumes, which will also follow the actual garbs worn by the workers will in the main consist of batho- speres and gym suits. Slip- pers will be of gunny-sack cloth with binding twine shoe strings. Trowls, cement mix- ers, a few mule-skinners (to furnish the jargon) and a traf- fic whistle, for the final cur- tain, will round out the sup- porting cast. O s c o r Severson and his Teach-a-renos will furnish the music.

The Council deferred action on the petit- ion indefinitely. Miss Simpson, assisted by Minnette Myers, has been drilling a group of her friends without arms and teaching them squad, platoon and company movements. Drilling is such fun ! We thought we would like to give the other women in the Uni- versity the opportunity to en- joy it with us, Miss Simpson said. Miss Simpson and Miss Myers have had considerable experience in directing cadet drill while in high school. Miss Simpson served as cap- tain of her regiment and was a member of the Cracked Rile Squad. Miss Myers was a first lieutenant. They have arranged to get possession of the discarded uniforms of their high school company. The uniforms are of blue serge with gold pip- ing and overseas caps. Com- missioned officers ' uniforms include a cape of the same material lined with gold. A cadet unit such as we are petitioning could keep order on the campus during elections and prevent violence at basketball and football games and we would be quite attractive figures in our uni- forms, Miss Myers explained when questioned concerning the value of a cadet corp for women.

After many months of labor, picking the lead from the bones and such, and melt- ing the results, the young men had indeed quite a heap of ore. Tired and worn following this rather morbid experience of salvaging these interred re- mains, the friends of Mr. Sun- derland sold their share of the find ( and had one gtfand binge. But, not so for Verne; he has sent his profit to his old Alma Mater so that fut- ure intellectuals may have at least the chance of getting a- way from street cars and ice- houses. BARBS TRIUMPHANT IN ELECTION TODAY The Barbs won an over- whelming victory today in the Student Council election. They captured six seats in the Council and the Greeks won the remaining two places by bare majorities. Out of the three hundred and thirty-three Barbs, en- rolled in the University, only three failed to cast their bal- lots in the elections. Members of Alpha Phi Omega were employed to guard the ballot boxes and prevent illegal sol- iciting cf votes and keep order in the two lines of voters which extended along the walk from the polls in the Faculty building to Evans street. Several members of Gamma Sigma Omicron were ejected from the polls by the Alpha Phi patrol for causing a dis- turbance while other students were studying the relative merits of the candidates in an attempt to cast a fair ballot. The new members of the Council are: Freshmen, Carl Betlach and Edward Joe Car- This interesting photo of the scene of the excavation was shot to us following the release of the glad tidings. roll; Sophomores, Victor Cor- kin and Zee Patricia Donlon; Juniors, Frederick Grenville and David Hudson; Seniors, Blaudwyn Kersenbrock and Rcsemarie Kulper.

HOLT ENTERTAINS KN OW-IT-AL L CLUB Dr. Edgar Allen Holt en- tertained twenty members of the Know-It-All club at a candle light tea at his home Sunday, May 17, from three to five. The tea honored Mr. Ralph Walton who recently returned from the South Sea Islands where he has been studying the relationship of climate to beauty. At the table, illuminated by candle light and centered with cacti and sprays of sand- burr, Dr. Lyman Hemmgsway Harris and Mr. Harry Sever- son presided. Assisting the charming host were Mr. John W. Baker and Mr. Lewis D. Crenshaw. Seen at the tea were many new spring creations. The most striking ensemble was worn by Dr. Wilfred Payne, who was attired in a lavendar and orange worsted tweed suit. The neckline of his tur- quoise blue shirt was accent- uated by a burgundy red tie. He wore brown buck acces- sories. After the tea, a round table discussion was conducted on Night Life in College. The discussion was led by Dr. Benjamin Boyce. Interesting remarks on the subject were made by Mr. Raymond J. Maxwell and Dr. Christopher S. Espinosa. Independence Leader Addresses Morphuns The woman ' s place is in the kitchen, according to Mr. Frank Crawford, leading pro- ponent for manhood indepen- dence, wftio addressed the Morphun club last evening. The kids at home need her, Mr. Crawford said. The man should be free to make a living, and not be hampered by the responsibil- ity of taking care of a family and home while the woman indulges in some hobby or caprice such as teaching school. Mr. Crawford became act- ively interested in the subject when he was enrolled in the education department of the University and a class dis- cussion was held on the abil- ities of a married school teacher as compared with those of an old maid teacher. THE GREASY SPOON Fancy Foods and Fish I. M. FILTHY— PROPRIETOR 42nd and River Streets Page 6 Puni Muni Uni, Date As In Fig 6% By Volume BEGINNING MICKIE O ' HARA ' S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM OR THE TRIP DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE Few enough are those old timers up around the High Hat Mountain country who remember the baby days of Mickie O ' Hara, the fightenest toughest, best natured cow- poke in all that region of tough, fighting men. The main reason probably was be- cause Mickie at the ripe old age of one year, had packed an old discarded saddle blank- et with all the necessities of a young nvin of his age and had started crawling dlowii the mountain side to make his fortune. Although good-natured, Mickie was also quick temper- ed and when his ornery old dad, whose name was Tim O ' Hara, had wobbled into the ranch yard one day at dusk, fully ajid completely oiled and had proceeded to beat young Mickie ' s mother, that yonker had picked up a six gun which he had used for a teething ring and had shot him, through the arm. So, in order to avoid any further difficulties of the same nature, the young Irishman had clim- bed from his crib in the mid- dle of the night and had quietly crawled away. In later years a grizzled old timer who happened to be talking to the now famous cattle baron, asked him about the trip down the mountain -side; and the following is the an- swer he received. After I had shot the old buzzard, I had lain awake in my green log crib for perhaps three hours trying to make up my mind to go. The wind was howling outside, keeping time with the Coyotes in a spine-tingling song of the westlands. Me, being only a year old and not wise in the ways of the world however, made up my mind that if I was ever going, now was the time. The place? I didn ' t know because I had never been anywhere except down to the creek with my dear mother one time for a bath. Stealthily stealing around the shambles of the cabin, I found bottle and milk, pins and several changes of clothuig and with my pistle teething ring started on my way. The first hundred yards of craw- ling wasn ' t so bad, only bowl- ders and cactus marring the journey, but from then on, over and around Scrub-Pines, sharp rock, rattlesnakes and ant hills I felt like turning back more than once. My knees were frightfully sore and bruised and as I stopped for a bite to drink and a change of clothing under a gigantic over hanging rock, I thought of my charming mother ' s soft lap and mind- soothing lullabies. What a decision to keep going ahead. But all during my first year I had built up a strong will power, now I was reaping the benefits. Stumbling, crawling, falling and bawling, I finally had, by the first peek of dawn, travel- ed about a mile from the ranch and in the shade of an old cow skeleton settled down to sleep. And was I sleepy? The sun beat down extremely hot and the desert rats and other vermin of the sand made the day very miserable for me. My milk was sour, I had only two safety-pins left and the ribs from the long dead cow was gouging me with regular monotony. Mercy, what to do ! With darkness failing with the tra- ditional swiftness of the mountains however, I again started crawling. By this time I was wishing that I had learned to ' walk, but then a person can ' t learn too much in the space of a year I guess. I was almost starved when I crawled into an old cam- ping place and found a cocoa- nut which had probably been left there by some dude cam- per. Drinking sparringly after shooting a hole in it with the gun, I plugged the gap in it and wrapping my self around it I started rolling down the mountain side to save time and my very, very sore knees. Bouncing, turning, rolling, and screaming I finally had to let loose of the thing be- cause I was getting sea-sick and the barb from the last hurried stop in a cactus plant was painfully reminding me that I needed a little first aid attention. This finished I took stock of my remaining parphenalia and found that all I had left was the six-gun, the three-cornered outfit I had on and half-pint of snake remedy. This snake-remedy was labelled, Three Star Hen- nessey, and in desperation I tipped the bottle to my fever- ish lips and took a long draught. The mountains took on a different hue; the buzzards sang like canaries; the rocks and boulders were as soft as air-spring mattresses ; the little streams streamed, the Scrub- Pines bent in the still air like Weeping Willow trees. No wonder the old man thought he could lick the world. Tak- ing another nip, I arose and walked. S ' funny what snake remedy can do, even though I hadn ' t been bitten by one. For four days and nights I kept going. Sometimes fight- ing the pain in my heart from my sudden leave from home and at other times shooting small game and fishing to keep my frail and weary body together. Of course I had been frequently been bitten my imaginary snakes but now the moon shone shrough the The Three Star bottle. But I was glad, soon I would be able to overcome the demon that had so completely over- ran my father. On the fifth day, after waking from my bed in an old abandoned Eagle ' s nest, I saw approaching horsemen in the distance. The dust from the hoofs of their steeds spiraled into the air, like some mythical smoke signal of the ancient Cliff dwellers, warning me that everything wasn ' t okey-dokey on the Wabash. I was dejected; here on the very threshold of liberty was a new problem to overcome if I ever expected to make a name for myself. Crouching in the nest I tried to hide. THE MODERN HIAWATHA From ' The Song of Milkanwatha ' He killed the noble Mudjok- ivis, With the skin he made him mittens, Made them with the fur side inside, Made them with the skin side outside, He, to get the warm side in- side, Put the inside skin side out- side: He, to get the cold side out- side, Put the warm side fur inside: That ' s why he put the fur side inside, Why he put the skin side out- side, Why he turned them inside outside.

Next year at this time we will all meet again; it is recommended that the Royal Order of Softbel- lies use their spare time making themselves softer still. But luck was against me. The men stopped and unsad- dled their horses and prepared to rest. Since it was just dawn I came to the conclus- ion that they had been riding all night and were in a very ugly mood. They started to plan — I was all ears. What are the men planing? What will happen to our very young hero? Read the suc- ceeding installments next year.
