A Woman's Work
Is Never Dour.
The one who. wrote "We who
are about to die salute you" must
have been contemplating some
thing: almost as trying as serving
as fashion model betore ones
friends and acquaintances. For
there's no groi'p on earth more
catty and pi'onc to cast aspersions
than a bunch of females who,
slightly knowing you, eye your
wearing and showing of beautiful
clothes. Facing such gimlet gaze
would make any mere male balk
at the start.
It's fun, they say, to parade
lovely gowns before dazzled sisters
in the bond, but it's sad too, to
brave the rippling whispers over
an unfortunate choice of garment.
When lines or colors are unkind,
you are dead certain that the com
ments will run: "She's lots of fun,
but my dear. . .," or "I don't think
she's so awfully good looking, do
you?" or even "Will you look at
that!"
Little Things in Life.
The petty outlook of the av
erage female is much be-told by
the bards. Preoccupation with
the little things in life seems to
be at once woman's virtue and
defect, her genius and her fail
ing. Recently Dr. Albert Ed
ward Wiggam, popular psychol
ogist who syndicates a daily
question column, acted as ref
eree on the issue of whether the
countless hours women in busi
ness and professions spend on
their hair, complexion, nails,
clothes and such is wasted.
It is perhaps illogical but cer
tainly human that the finest
offices a woman can perform
can become her most pernicious
disease. "What every woman
knows" about the power behind
the throne of her lord is that
without her caring for the little
annoyances and petty details,
the smoothing out of the small
toe-tripping stumbling blocks on
his road to success be would
never get there. And yet she
may so shut herself in with
these all-important trivialities
that her perspective is rigid and
appallingly narrow.
Philosophical Opportunities.
Woman's work, be it caring for
one's persona! laundry or running
a large family household, offers
a near perfect set-up for ruminat
ing. Kven this inexpert boiling
Mater burner knows that. Most
tasks, after slight practice be
come largely mechanical, thus
freeing the mind for ruminating.
Poor man is so hard at it trying
to lrarn and get ahead he has
no time to evaluate.
Yet how infrequently is real
breadth of vision forthcoming
from dishwashing or meal getting.
So engrossed are women in their
little tasks, little interests, that
their philosophy becomes little too.
Their conversation is an endless
stream of homely triviata. If it's
college girls, the subjects are
clothes and men; in older women
it's housewifely problems and
other women's children.
Men Lose Too.
The sad thing about it all is
that the men who are the ob
jects of all this direct and in
direct attention may be the very
ones who demand or encourage
it out of all due proportion. In
doing so they, as much as their
loving hired hands, suffer an
Irreplacable loss. In developing
an aptitude for cook, nurse,
maid, budget balancer, market
er, hostess, chauffeur, teacher,
laundress, and the like all part
of the normal woman's role
a formative mind may have
crowded out of it a big section
of capacity for Intellectual com- i
panionship and emotional sen
sitivity. Of course the unhappy ability
of being too close to the forest
is not unique In women, but
there seems to be a natural in
clination In that direction. And
since the problem is of Just
about as long standing as Eve's
experience with trees, there is
every likelihood that nothing
can be done about It. Oh Effic,
It's the woman who pays!
Anti-Reform Forces.
High minded reforms often fall
thru when they arc shown up by
pome brilliant authority as arti
ficial and therefore undesirable.
Officer Regler's devotion to the
cause cf collegiate purity is ex
posed as a misdirected effort by
Dr. Stuff. That scholarly gentle
man earnestly advises public woo
ing for the all essential preserva
tion of the race. And Ted Cook,
Hearst humorist, answers an
"Anxious" inquiry as to whether
a girl should take a man for bet
ter or for worse with: "A girl
should take a man for anything
she can get." There you are,
folks.

Party From 4:30-6:30
At Antelope.
As a climax to Ivy Day activi
ties, an all-university dance spon
sored by the A. W. S. Board will
be held at Antelope Park from
4:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon of

sum will admit all members of the
subscribing organizations. Lapel

the dance, who are not members
of organizations supporting the
dance, will be admitted at the door
for 25c, Miss Barbour explained.
All-Campus Affair.
"The dance will be carried out
as an all-campus affair," com
mented Miss Barbour, "and will
serve as a suitable conclusion of
he Ivv Day program. Dating for
the dance will be optional, and
since it is an all-university affair
we are anxious that students make
plans now not to miss the event.
This is the first time that the
A. W. S. Board has sponsored the
Ivy Day dance and should it prove
successful this year will probably
be continued an annual event in
the future. Board members who
are making plans for the affair
include: General chairman, Helen
Pascoe; tickets and calling, Janet

EAKLY AMERICAN
SONGS PLACED IN
LIBKARY EXHIBIT
Early American songs, tracing
the vigorous advance in the art
of American music during the late
18th and early 19th centuries,
were recently placed on display In
the University library, second
floor. This collection, which in
cludes a number of negro lyrics,
is reproduced in facsimile from
the originals or early editions in
the Harris Collections of American
Poetry and Plays, Brown Uni
versity. Included in this collection are
facsimiles of the earliest of battle
songs; "Brave Wolf" inspired by
the capture of Quebec in 1759 and
"The American Star," said to have
been the most popular of war
time melodies in 1812. Also are
negro lyrics and early dance tunes
along with commentaries and ex
nlanatoiy notes regarding the
origin and outgrowth of Negro
American music.
Commenting on the obvious
effect that negro tunes have had
on American rhythm, S. Foster
Damon writes, "Highbrows may
sneer and moralists weep, but I for
one rejoice at this evidence of
vitality."
In the main room of the library
the students will find a complete
list of the latest novels on the
bulletin board. Cardboard plates
upon which are commentaries on
these novels are also available.

With the exception of the west

Choruses to Perform
In Broadcast.
Winners of the inter-fratcmity
and inter-sorority Ivy Day sang
fiesta will be a feature of the
Pontiac Varsity Show in the na
tional broadcast from the coliseum
next Friday evening, according to
Gordon Whyte, national repre
sentative for the Pontiac company.
Individual tryouts for places on
the program have been held for
the past two days and that no
talent may be overlooked, Mr.
Whyte has announced that stu
dents may still make appoint
ments with him at the Cornhusker
hotel.
Looking for Genius.
"1 know quite well now of what
the program will consist, but
somewhere on the campus there
may be a genius too shy to try out,
and he may be just the fellow we
want on the program," the repre
sentative stated.
Of the 36 individual and group
performances that Mr. Whyte has
viewed in the last two days, 24,
he says, are talented enough to ap
pear on the national hook-up. He
says enthusiastically of Nebraska
that "It would be easier to run a
show for an hour and a half in
stead of eliminating enough stu
dents to cut the program to 30
minutes with the talent that I
have found here. Then, too, some
of the best talent is not going to
be used because it is of such a na
ture that it will not work in with
the rest of the material in making
a well-balanced program."
Held Arrives Tuesday.
John Held, jr., director of the
broadcast, will arrive in Lincoln
next Tuesday or Wednesday in
order to make final arrangements
for Friday evening's broadcast.
"The size of your hall makes
presentation of the show difficult."
Mr. Whyte asserted. "It will take
a few days for us to get everything
in shape for the program."
