Cinonialic Trifles.
Most of us French movie goers.
with our petty picky souls spent
far more of our time exclaiming:
over or laughing at details of the
film than in absorbing the genuine
artistry occasionally displayed
There was unfortunate hearty guf-
fays when 'Thillipe" made a blind
datist lunge at his new bride.
There were ripples of disgust at
the blonde. shellacked-wigged,
chubby, baby-pussed menace
Miss Piazza tells us that golden
locks are the symbol of hussies in
France.
It was further diverting to
identify the leading players with
familiar film figures. Heroine
"Claire" resembled Germany's
, Elizabeth Bergner. The object of
her "mesalliance," we decided, was
a cross between John Gielgud,
Spencer Tracy and Maurice Chev
alier. And one of the servants had
a Herbert Mundinish air.
But the delicious subleties that
seem to be typical of the French
were all there. The way the men
snorted and the women shrugged
their shoulders and flirted with
ft their fans was real art. However,
the thing that jarred most harshly
were the costumes and makeup
lobs and coiffures. The well-known
French chic seemed to be very
much A. V. O. L. And the French
concept of "If left us as cold as
all the dialogue we didn t get
Even perfection must have its days
off.
Disillusionment.
Both Mr. and Mrs. were tall
and portly. Both Mr. and Mrs.
wore glasses and had wnne nair
Both Mr. and Mrs. leaned maj
estically against the back of their
booth and looked down artisto-
cratic noses at our silly little
party. Both ordered from the menu
deliberately and impressively, ate
In epicurean silence. And we, over
awed, decided that here were two
of the town's Solider Citizens. .
But when they left she wrestled
into her coat by herself, and
reached for a toothpick.
Setting The Records.
A board of braintmsters met in
the Campus Inn t'other day. Six
gents, with brains in their feet
and hi-de-hi in their blood, passed
on the new records being installed
in the nickel record playing ma
chine. From time to time campus
belles would step out the pieces
.with the boys. It was a very earn
est, serious minded body. The
great problems of the world rest
to heavily upon young shoulders.
We Can't Pick 'Em.
We've had two revelations of
late. Our discernment of char
acter and personality has been
found noticeably poor. And con
fession is good for the soul.
. We made our first error of
'r Judgment about a particularly
distinguished-looking man. We
spotted him in an eating house
He stood out noticeably from the
colorless throng with his sharply
chiseled features, his intriguing
streak of grey at the temples, his
immaculate, precise attire. His
speech was clipped, faintly arro'
gant; there was about him the
air of one accustomed to giving
orders and having them carried
out unquestioningly and at once
We saw him once again, in his
real life role, that of an especially
ingratiating women's barber.
Our second wrong guess con
cerned a man whose every aspect
proclaimed him a man far from
the world of men. He was care
lessly though not untidily attired
The camel' hump of his hat was
all bulged out of shape, color
harmonies were disregarded, a
button or two was missing or mis
matt hen. He wore a shapeless
Mark great coat, and carried a
weather beaten brief case.
But we observed to our amaze
ment that he was peering through
thick glasses at a show rase of
nighties, the object of his par
ticular attention being a pale blue
satin number with a urr dia
phanous lace bodice.

ENTRANCE RULES
Educational Session Goes
On Record as Favoring
Lower Requisites.
The muchly discussed liberalize
ing of college entrance require
ments seemed a step nearer reali
zation, last night as an assembly
of superintendents and principals
from out over the state meeting
jointly with industrial arts in
structors voted approval of the
resolution presented by the com
mittee.
The proposal as approved by
the convention would lower the
standing entrance requirements to
six units, for senior high scnoois,
and to 12 units acquired in senior
high for admission to the univer
sity. Altho this proposal makes no
provision for schools other than
university, it seemed to be the
general opinion of the body that
it would be expanded to other col
leges and universities in the state
in a short length of time.

SIGMA XI TO VIEW
MOVIE OF GALAXY
WITH RUST'S TALK
National Scientific Society
To Meet in Morrill
Hall March 22.
The Weather
Spring will come out from
hiding again said Weatherman
Blair in promising fair and
warmer weather for today. Fri
day's snow was just a reminder
to keep the "woolies" on.
Supplementing his talk on "The
structure of the Galaxy" with a
moving picture film entitled "The
Depth of Space," Carl F. Rust will
address members of sigma xi, na
tional scientific society, at its reg-
ular monthly meeting in Morrill
hall auditorium, Monday evening,
Mar. 28, at 7:30.
Mr. Rust, who is instructor in
astronomy and in charge of the
university observatory, will also
illustrate certain points in his ad
dress with pictures of star nebulae,
taken recently with the school's
Ross camera which is used wiui
the 12-inch reflecting telescope on
the ag campus.
According to Mr. Rust the study
of the galaxy forms the basis for
all modern astronomical researcn.
The constitution and structure of
the galaxy will be discussed by Mr.
Rust in terms understandable to
those possessing elementary
knowledge of astronomy. Members
of Sigma Xi in charge of the meet
ing have extended an invitation
to all non-members of the organi
zation to attend Mr. Rust's talk.
A part of the film "The Depth
of Space" shows among other
things the movements of a double
star over a period of about 20
years.
Nebraska student talent will be
heard over a 70 station hookup of
the NBC Red network on May 7,

noted author and artist, who will
conduct the program as 16th in a
series of 17 from prominent col
lege campuses. The show, which
will last 30 minutes, will be opened
