Weatherman Plays Havoc With Weekend Outings
Carefully laid plans for weekend outings were knocked into a cocked hat when this morning brought cold rain and shivery weather, and sent students digging in their closets for laid-away wraps.
In lieu of the steak fry which they had planned to have in Holcoln's grove tonight, Delta Tau Delta members have substituted a party at the house from 6 to 8, followed by a dance at Holloway Hall from 8 to 10 pm.
If the weather is still unsuitable tomorrow night, I.S.A. members will be forced to move their old fashioned box supper into Robinson gymnasium where plans will go ahead as scheduled.

Waukesha, Wis.—(UP)—Miss Wallflower! Do you despair of getting a husband? Afraid you can't meet the competition?
Then here's the advice of Fred Emrath: Pack up and go to Alaska, young woman.

BATTENFELD HALL
. . dinner guests last night were Prof. J. H. Taggart, Harlan Altman, and Gordon Gray. After dinner, Professor Taggart made a short speech to the fraternity.
"Alaska has prospective husbands in quantity, because it suffers a shortage of women. They are prospects with a future. Uncle Sam's northern territory is entering a period of great development."
guests at dinner yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. Hilden Gibson and Helen Rymph.
Defense Spurs Boom
Weaver's
Back for a brief visit to his former home here, Emrath reported that the sun of prosperity was rising on Alaska, where the sun stays up a long time.
Cold, But Last Frontier For Lonely Wallflower
Alaska---men and laborers—said Enrath, who was a farmer in the government-sponsored Matanuska valley project until $1.75-an-hour wages induced him to resume his old trade as a painter at Anchorage.
Gifts that pay charming tribute on Mother's Day
Crime Rate Low
Emrath reported a labor shortage, particularly in the construction trades. Influx of thousands of soldiers and others connected with defense projects has caused a demand for housing.
Typical farm product prices — to the farmer—he said included pork, 16-20 cents a pound; eggs, 40-60 cents a dozen; milk, 80 cents per pound butterfat; potatoes, $2.50-$3 a hundred pounds.
Hose ... $1 to $1.35
Gloves ... $1 to $4.00
Handkies ... 10c to $1.00
Handbags ... $1.00 to $7.50
Colognes ... 59c to $4.50
Candy ... $1 to $1.29
Hallmark Cards ... 5c to 35c
Despite the presence of some frontier features, including numerous and busy saloons and night spots, Emrath said that there was a "surprisingly low rate of crime" in his section of Alaska. To account for this he advanced the theory that persons willing to undertake the long trip to the territory for uncertain returns were likely to be stable and industrious.
The prosperity wave was started, according to Emrath, by the defense program, Alaskan phases of which include construction of submarine bases, air fields and other military projects. But he predicted that the wave would keep on rolling long after defense activity had subsided.
Alaskan prosperity is affecting all classes—farmers as well as business
"There also is a noticeable spirit of friendliness and good fellowship among people there, more marked than that in the states," he said.
S. A. Nock, vice-president of Kansas State College at Manhattan, will be the principal speaker of the evening. His subject will be "Prejudices." Professor Nock has written critical reviews for the Kansas City Star.
Pi Kappa Lambda, honorary music fraternity, will initiate 19 members into its organization at its annual banquet tonight at Evans Hearth.
