We Old Fossils Lost
When 'Arranged in Fancy'
ioaay me naner takes on a
heavy load of glamour. The us
ually casual sheet goes formal up
to the hilt. Everything; that makes
fcr fascination in ballroom attire
'a aired in glittering terms. Dolly
ing up time is near.
The transformation that, come
December each year, makes of col
lege boys and girls full-rigged
ladies and gentlemen of the eve
ning for a specified occasion is a
tantalizing phenomenon. The new
guise lasts until another specified
cession in the spring of the suc
ceeding year, and then dissipates
into atmosphere. And during the
period of formality there are work
week assumptions of the old col
legianism. Yet ot week ends the
campus crawls once more with
allure.
We have always a nastv sus
picion that the mundane shellac
didn't sink in very deep. And all
the party finery, all the stuffed
shirts can't send permanent roots
through the thick sub-strata of
predilection for "old shoe" garb,
for the easy and comfortable in
clothes. Even today's womanly
sweet sixteens are addicted to ank
lets and calots. And we old-timers
of the lost generations are hope
lessly immune from shots of so
phistication. We grew up wrong
Out of the Mouths of Babe.
This fusty, codger is highly
humble before the verdicts of the
self-sure fledglings on how to do
things. Daily we encounter com
ments or looks of scorn about
our old-fashioned indulgences.
We are reminded bit testily
that nowadays one doesn't twist
one's hose into a roll below the
knee, or refuse to desert low
heels, or wear skirts calf length.
One doesnt have friends of the
opposite sex every male is pros
pective romance. Above all, one
doesnt blaspheme copiously, for
one is busy being something of
a lady all the time.
But please we old fogies can't
uddenly assumes feminity; it's
been agin our nature too lcg. If
this era's coy young things have
to relax occasionally in little-girl
haberdasheries, how can we, who
went through our elementary edu
cation being boyish, help our re
lapses to unfemlnine accoutre'
ment? Glamour girls don't spring
out of tomboys so effortlessly as all
that
In the days of our youth, girls
wanted to be like boys. Boys were
undandyfied pieces of humanity in
grimey cords, sweatshirts, open-at-the-throat
soft shirts and ankle-
ruffling socks, or plus-fours with
out the golf socks and terry-cloth
sweaters. And the girls mimicked
them as closely as possible.
The Old School.
Masculinity for young femmes
Included knee-boots, boys' shirts
and sweaters, short short hair,
and boys' leather jackets. Op
tional were loud-striped boys'
Shorts, and boys' Ingersoll
watches. If we could earn the
favor of some athlete we wore
with pride his letter sweater,
The wearing of a dressy dress
was a concession to only the
most special of occasions, and
ballroom functions were prattle
ally unknown.
Our social affairs, such as they
were, were group not two-some af
fairs. Of course some goofs paired
off, but they didn't have nearly the
fun that the more clubby did. Girls
of that by-gone day were admired
not for their dazzling smile or nice
opsymaboopsies, but for their ca
pacity for crazy fun. Being soig
nee was Infinitely inferior to being
a pool sport.
And it's us frank and earnest
creatures that are expected to
metamorphaslze, like the rest, for
the dress-up season. We are sup
posed to set aside our shirt and
short boyishness and become wile
f ul women all in the donning of an
evening gown. And we say that it
cant be done. Our past Is too
close behind us.

Williams Finds Dire Need

Instructor Publishes Views
In National Journal,

After several years spent In
studying the worki of great Amer
ican and foreign artists. Ramond
Hendry Williams of the university
fine arts faculty comes to the con
clusion that there is too much
"juice" and not enough physics
and psychology employed in the

Sufficient Interest
For Two Convocations
Two eminent speakers are to
discuss important international
questions this morning at 11
a. m. Due to lack of foresignt
on the part of the student coun
cil forum committee, students
can hear but one of these men
because both will speak at the
same time, each in a different
place.
If these significant sessions
on topics as vital as interna
tional armaments and fascism
in Brazil are to realize their
full value in stimulating and
improving student thought on
world affairs, two things are
necessary. If these convocations
are to avoid being a sad reflec
tion on the Nebraska collegian's
interest in international prob
lems as well as a travesty on
the university, two things are
necessary.
All professors whose subjects
are remotely related to the
assembly topics and other pro
fessors who can possibly spare
a class period from their regu
lar schedule of work could help
the situation by dismissing
their 11 o'clock classes. All stu
dents, free at the convocation
hour, would do themselves and
the university a favor by at
tending one cf the discussions.
An earnest and hard work
ing, but in this case somewhat
bungling, forum committee is
in a spot. Co-operation from
the students would save the
committee embarrassment and
maintain the prestige of the
council's commendable forum
project.
The college of business ad
ministration has the advantage
in their convocations of con
trolling class dismissal of a
large number of interested stU'
dents; thus insuring good at
tendance. These sessions are a
definite addition to the cni
versify program and deserve
the support they get.
The point in regard to these
addresses this morning is to
attend one of them.

The university is to have a traf

This announcement is made pub-
lie on the same day that the
funeral is held for Glenn Paulsen, ;
university student who died as a
result of injuries which he received
in an accident at this intersection.
U F. Seaton and Sgt Regler

weeks ago, no action was taken by
the city council. For the last sev
eral years. Seaton has written the
city council at the start of the

the tragic accident of last Friday.
an order was place for the light.
According to Lieutenant Bennett,
Lincoln traffic director, the light
will probably be installed within
the next two weeks.
Seaton and Regler have also
been trying to have stop buttons
put in to protect trafic at tha
intersection of 14th and S streets,
but Bennett says that nothing
will be done at this time.
Nebraskan Conducts Survey.
As an aftermath of the Paul
sen death, the Nebraskan con
ducted a survey at 14th and R to
determine the amount of traffic
there. Between 12:43 and 12:53
p. m. on Wednesday, 43 cars and
S2 pedestrians passed this spot
! going north and 25 cars and 137
pedestrians passed it going west.
The Nebraskan also had a re
porter stationed at the intersec
tion of 14th and S streets between
11:55 and 12:05 p. m. Wednesday.
During this ten minutes. 100 cars
passed the spot, and the pedes
trians were too numerous to be
courted. It is the belief of the
Nebraskan editor that something
should also be done at 14th and S.
