THE D ADLY WBRA KA dfel r Sarah Louise Fvr 7 Official Student Newspaper of the University of Nebraska VOL. XXXVII, No. 15. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1937 PRICE FIVE CENTS The Old and the Now In Nudity. The flaunted modernity of to day's young women has its prob lems. Some of the boys aren't sure just how modern some of the girls are. Take that heated argu ment over this generation's prod uet. Sally Rand, for example. Th.e lans can get quite worked up over the pantsing or lack of same, of the artful fan and balloon dancer. But Barney Oldfield, haberdasher ied dinner of direct verbage, tells the bare facts. "Sally," he informs us In the Sunday Journal, "does wear skin-tight panties when she's on the floor. She prefers her in terviews with newspapermen after the dances. The reason: She runs into the dressing room, takes off the panties and greets the press covered only by her fans and then they write that she terped sans clothing , . ." Pantie Waste. Oldsters may find such a black and white discussion of nudity dis turbing. Panties, even when ac companied by a full array of outer garments, used to be considered "unmentionables." You n g s t e r s could easily top Hand fan follies with talcs in language more pre cise and less printable. However all ages will agree that such publicized public all-in--alled-ness is a far cry from the state of affairs legendiicd as of the gay noneties. Flesh shows of that day were played under heavy wraps. And the real ladies of the era, of course, kept their charms very much under cover. In "The Phy sician." as reprinted in the Read er's Digest, D. J. T. M. Kinney re lates: "A Victorian maiden lady of uncertain age who had had a serious fall once consulted me, evidently n.tich embarrassed. With some difficulty I finally de veloped the fact that her chief trouble was in one of her knees, and then suggested, as diplo matically as possible, tht it would be impossible to treat tc"e knee without inspection. "There was a painful pause; then she produced a package and unwrapped, it slowly, revealing a girl doll-baby, completely clothed. Cautiously lifting the hem of the skirt, she exposed a portion of the doll's bare knee and, pointing to a definite spot, said: 'There, doctor, is where I hurt my knee. "Long training enabled me with the utmost seriousness to inspect the doll's knee carefully and prescribe therefor." Schoolboy Sex. Now that the lid is off. we'd like to recall a favorite anecdote on one of the bigger men about school in recent years. Of a warm summer morning so very early this campus figure trailed into an all night eating place with a beaming rushec and two definitely workable models of womankind in tow. Abashed at being spotted and kidded bv friends about his com panions, he stammered. "Well, you know how rushees are." iml thn there was the ultra worldly collegian who abruptly moved' into the Y. M. C. A. To his utterly abounded pals he explained that he was tired of rolling his roommates' entertainment o"t of bed every time he wanted sleep. Honorary Bars All Campaigning At Election Polls VAN STAFF PRISES E A.W.S. Backs Mortar Board On Stand Regulating Women's Politics. Campaigning on election days and soliciting of votes within two blocks of the poles were barred when Mortar Board and the A. W. S. Council in joint meeting yester day, took a step forward in their crusade against campus politics. Altho there has been no viola tion of the resolution set forth last fall, members of the senior honorary felt this the auspicious time to again ask house presidents to support their action.

There will be c training period ending at Thanksgiving for all the beginners so that each girl will be given a chance to inspect the full routine of the club. If, at the end of the training period, she decides not to become a member, it is her privilege to withdraw. After Thanksgiving when training is over, the new members will be initiated into the club, and the old members will entertain them with an informal concert. As this club is devoted to the dance only, and requires a good amount of time, it is advisable that those who wish to be members do not have too many activities, so as to be able to attend all of the rehearsals. The Instructors of the club feel that this year offers a very inter esting program. "Sorry, buddy! You can't come in here. It's secret football prac tice and it's no go, you can't come In."

Fleven were jailed because of intoxication, but of this number none were students, and the ma jority were from outside the state. Minneapolis and Kansas City con tributed the greatest number of offenders. No one can be arrested unless he is caught In the act of drinking. There was a great deal of pocket picking, both at the game and in the Cornhusker hotel. Scrgt. Regler said that pick-pockets are the hardest to catch, and ones caught are very hard to convict. Four pick-pockets from Chicago were identified by Thi Condon, ex state sheriff, but it was impossible to catch them because of the huge rrowds. Altho only nine persons 1 reported robberies, it is believed there were many more, as itiofI people are ashamed of th fart thHl they allowed themselves to be robbed.-It is estimated that a rrnwd such as the one Saturday win net tne tnieves at least J5O0.
