Thr Women
And Other Things
Oft times we find ourselves con
templating the passing scene as
if it were a-'tion shots of Things
to Come. Wc spot some bedrag
clod, frumnv creature and think
Must eive us ten vears." Or we
sight a grubby floater and cuff
note how much baths have to do
nith self resnect.
One of the "naturals" for ob
servation of feminine futures is a
women's lounge. There may be
found every type of female still
surviving the Nebraska sun
"Girls" of every age, every in
come, every preoccupation park
themselves at each others elbows
Occasional spice for the slum
gullion is provided by stray lone
males or show-off kiddies. But
these Hie indeed the occasional
pieces.
A very Intimate group in one
corner, for example, may be
sized up as a new bride and her
bosom old married pals. From
her starts at brushing passcrsby
and the feline smiles on the
faces of her companions, we sur
mise that the blushing newly
wed is being tipped off about
the management of husbands in
some of the more cozy phases
thereof. Sometimes the heads
come very close together indeed,
and one refuses to imagine, out
loud, what is being said.
The Third Generation.
Over against the wall are two
fluttering old souls taking turns
at telling the latest exploits of
their grandchildren. Little Lucy
was so cute when she i.illcd for
"chicken on the hone"; she's
getting more cunning every day
Mich a quick child. But little
F.ohbv. oh!
Next to them is one of those
hlank-pussed gals who just sits by
..ie hour, hands folded in her lap.
However long she remains, and
'she looks the permanent fixture,
her facial expression and bodily
masculalure change nary a whit.
And beyond her is a trio of plush
fronted vultures, who, having
pulled a friend to pieces bit by bit,
are nosing over the bones.
At one of the desks is a thin
lipped lass stamping hundreds
of rcady-sentimented greeting
cards of some sort. Across from
her holds forth a wild-haired
university student, with books
and parcels overflowing her
tliarc of the immediate vicinity.
Yet another pen pusher is a
veilly little blonde writing love
and kisses to someone's travel
ing salesman hubby.
On the bench out there is a
roarse-fcatured creature mouthing
a candy bar. Diverting her champ
ing is her frail son of about three,
brow-beating his nursing bottle.
Toward the telephones is a circle
of buzzomy beauties energetically
plotting to save the country. Near
them is a high school girl wailing
some sad tale over the wires to
her mummie.
Rock and Roll,
Aparthish from the clubwom
an is an imposing battle-axe
who rocks savagely within a mil
limeter of the giving capacity of
her chair a Napoleonic com
plex, no doubt. Even more with
drawn is the colored matron.
Cultured far more than most
other college graduates, she
steals chances to read the
lounge's dog-eared magazines,
c a well-worn book.
Of course there is the sorority
house mother who informs her
li.'-teners gurgingly that her girls
have such Interesting experiences
in college that they really should
write a book. The audience agrees
that such a work would be ns in
triguing as a real novel, only true.
Flouncing in front of them, and
outstaring them all, is the bc
coiffcj millinery clerk, and the
brittle-walked luggage saleslady.
But most aristocratic of all is the
pint-sized barber of the pointed
nose Hnd steely eyes.
The women, yes we say. What
futures they foretell! The women,
yes.

Greek Council Penalizes
S. A. M., Alpha Sig,

Penalties for infractions of
rushing rules were imposed upon
four fraternities, Web Mills, pres

meeting of the judiciary commit
tee. These penalties are in addi
tion to those announced last week.
Sigma Alpha Mu was fined $10
for failing to list Arthur Hill of
Lincoln, as a rcpledge. Delta Tau
Delta was fined $10 for pledging
Harold Nootz, Lincoln, who had
neglected to pay his rushing filing
fee. Nootz was suspended from
pledging until Oct. 1. A $10 fine
was exacted from Alpha Gamma
Rho for pledging Robert Petersen,
of Dixon, Neb., before he paid his
filing fee. Petersen was sus
pended from pledging until Oct. 1.
A clerical error in filing the pledge
list with the Interfraternity coun
cil cost Alpha Sigma Phi $5.
"Lenient" Fines.
"These fines are lenient in com
parison with the fines provided for
in the Interfraternity council con
stitution," Mills stated, following
the judiciary committee meeting
"Under the council rules we could
have fined offending houses as
much as $r0. The council has been
lax in the past in the matter of
imposing penalties, and the frater
nities have been guilty of numer
ous infractions in the last three
years."

Last year the dlsiuthanrc made
by the sale of student publications
bothered classes all along the

California Scenes People
'Riscinuling,' Says Franlz-
Professor Reveals Incidents
of Year's Library Work

By Virginia Staldcr.
"California is the most fascin
ating place in which 1 have ever
lived," asserted Prof. R. W.
Frantz of the English department
who has just returned after a
year's leaVe of absence to resume
his professorship at the university.
He has been in San Marino, Cali
fornia, where he was associated
with Huntington library. "Cali
fornia is fascinating mainly be
cause of the tremendous variety
of natural scenic beauty and be
cause of the unusual cross-section
of people represented there," de
clared Mr. Frantz.
Most people In southern Cali
fornia feel that Individuals from
the middle west are from their
part of the country, Professor
Franta explained, pointing out
that the fust mail from whom lie
iMiughl gas in Pasadena was from
Omaha, and flint the man who
came for the laundry was previ
ously a western Nebraska rancher.
Californlans Less Serious.
Professor Frantz states that
Californlans as a whole appear to
be less serious than Ncbraskans.
They give the illusion of being a
very happy people, no doi bt duo
for the most part to the excellent
rerreatiolinl facilities available.
