THIERRY TELLS IS
Exchange Student Speaks
On French Customs
At Meeting.
Simone Thierry, a French ex
change student, spoke at the
freshman A. W. S. meeting held
yesterday afternoon at Ellen
Smith hall.
Miss Thierry was appointed to
study at Nebraska because of a
scholarship she won in France.
She explained the French system
of education their free institu
tions and lycees and stated that
French education is more Intensive
and cultural than American edu
cation. Their university education
is much different, according to
Miss Thierry. All the courses are
given in lecture form, and there
Is no compulsary attendance. .
Social Customi Differ.
"French girls are just like
American girls," said Miss Thierry,
"but their social customs are much
different. French girls have less
freedom, and never mix socially
with boys as the American girls
do. Every French girl knows how
to sew, knit and cook. Their en
tertainment consists of movies
and dancing, but few sports. They
enjoy walking, and riding is not
as common as in America, because
there are fewer cars."
"Our French home is an institu
tion, closer drawn than the Amer
ican family. Husband and wife are
always together, and the women
do not belong to clubs, excepting
welfare organizations. They find
much to do at home. In the place
of clubs, our women receive vis
itors about two days a month,
and then other ladies call and
chatter for an hour or two."
Miss Thierry said that things
in general are on a smaller scale
in France, but that they mean
just as much to the people. She
also said that they are probably
no more religious than any other
country.
Ann Hustead was chairman of
the meeting, and Gertrude Mc
Arthur acted as secretary. Miss
McArthur will be chairman of the
next meeting, and Betty Ann
Roach will be secretary.
FORMER STUDENT MAKES
COLLEGE TOUR IN FRANCE
Delaware Scholarship Sends
Robert Stookey to Study
On Continent.
Robert W, Stookey, former stu
dent at the University is study
ing in Paris with 59 other juniors
from 27 colleges under the spon
sorship of the University of Dela
ware, according to word received
by Prof. Harry Kurz, head of the
Romance language department.
The Fifteenth Foreign Study
Group, of which Stookey is a part,
sailed from New York City on the
S. S. Paris on Aug. 21, 1937. The
group arrived at Le Havre on
August 28, and after spending
three days In Paris in order to
visit the International Exposition,
proceeded to Tours, where the
members were enrolled in the
special courses.
Remain Until 1938.
Having now completed the two
months preliminary work at
Tours, the students are now in
Paris, where they will remain until
July 1, 1938. They will then return
to America.
This foreign Study Group has
the largest registration since the
tenth group In 1932-33.

several minutes later only to find
a smouldering pile of ashes. The
hoses, of course, were never taken
from their racks on the truck.
Mrs. Ted Hasse, caretaker's wife
whose residence is in the biulding,
discovered the blaze, which she be
lieved to have originated in the
attic.
Pauley disagreed, stating that
the conflagration probably came
from a stove in the siructure
which was used to heat the
plumbing. The cause was a trivial
matter with him, however, for he
was bemoaning $20,000 building
damage and the loss of the best
band contract of his managing
regime. The Hasse family lost
many of their personal belongings
as the blaze razed their quarters.
Second Accident.
The destroyed dance hall was
seemingly jinxed, this being the
second serious accident to the
building. Some four years ago, a
serious snow bank caved through
the roof and caused considerable
damage. It was built 7 years ago,
bought and renovated by the
Pauley brothers in 1935. Plans for
another similar dancing site are
indefinite, said the manager, but
he hopes to soon have something
for the university students, who
made up the bulk of his trade.

As always, . clothes are coming
In for their share of attention, es
pecially in the pre-formal-season
gab sessions. Wherever a group
of collegians gathers, their atten
tion turns sooner or later to the
topic of clothes.
Formal clothing is, at least for
men, made up of a group of defin
ite articles from which there can
be little or no variation. Recent
style rumblings from back east,
however, mention the addition of
color to the dress wardrobe.
What consitutes an ideal formal
dress for a girl? Certainly not
the type advocated by one of the
campus mental giants, who, when
queried, stated, "A barbed wire
dress." Then, on our question as
to the kind of a dress to which
he was referring, the snappy re
joinuer came back, "It protects the
property without obstructing the
view!"
What makes up an ideal formal
dress from both the male and the
female point of view? What about
the proposed introduction of color
into men's formal dress?
Ruth Thygeson, Arts and Sciences
senior:
"Formals on this campus must
be more or less conservative. If a
university student tried to wear
some of the less conservative mod
els being shown and worn back
east, she would probably find her
self no longer affiliated with this
institution. They should have a
more or less tailored effect. As
to color, the gayer the better I
don't like white at all.
"Colored shirts and ties for men
are coming in. and in Paris, colored
tails are being worn as well. The
colors vary purple, eggshell,
green, blue, bright scarlet, in fact,
almost every color of the rainbow.
With a colored coat, a colored shirt
would look all right; but with a
plain dark coat, white is preferred.
"It's a matter of custom, but
you just think of men wearing
plain black and white. Men don't
need the added color. However, if
colored evening clothes do get here,
they won't last long they will be
here a short while as a fad, and
then they'll be gone. Besides, when
you get right down to it, I feel
that men themselves prefer black
and white to almost any other color
combination."
Frank Kudrna, Bizad junior:
"Creations which will enhance
their natural charms. Almost any
color, almost any style, if they
have that 'poured in' effect, they
are nice looking.
"For a little diversion, one of
the so-called 'revealing' creations
is a lovely affair. Almost any color
is all right, but I don't care for
brilliant reds white is always
nice. tho. '
"The idea of wearing colored
shirts with formal clothes is silly."
Dave Blanchard, Arts and Sciences
Senior:
"I don't like bare backs. I pre
fer a formal that Is at least a lit
tle subtle about it.
"They must be very simple, not
too ornate, white, and skintight
the type that the girl looks as
tho she'd been poured into.
"I think that if it's to be called
a formal season, let It be formal.
There is no use in wearing dinner
jackets on formal occasions. Per
haps the whole idea of building
up a scries of formal affairs in the
university set is ridiculous, but if
it is to be done, and they are to
be called formal, let them be so.
"The introduction of color into
men's formal clothing is just a
style change to make people buy
more clothes. It's the element of
black and white that adds the for-

mality to the occasion, the cloth
ing of the women lend the color."
Paul Wagner, Arts and Sciences
Junior:
"I'm not particular, really. I do
prefer the type of dress that re
veals, rather than conceals, how
ever. I don't like them to fit too
tightly below the waist they
should fit rather loosely, so that
when a breeze blows, they look
like a horse with a blanket on.
"I'm not particular about the
color, either that depends on the
girl. Blue for blondes, white for
brunettes."
Thais Ann Haley, Teachers Col
lege Junior:
"Something not too daring, not
too sophisticated, rather plain, in
either black or white. It should
fit well, but not too well.
"As to men's formal clothes, I'd
prefer the white shirt colored ac
cessories just aren't quite as
dressy as the white."
Jeanette Polonsky, Arts and Sci
ences Sophomore:
"That depends on the girl. Lit
tle slim girls can wear fluffy
pastels with ruffles and what have
you to play up their smallness
and daintiness. But the taller, more
sophisticated type of girl has to
concentrate more on clothes that
give her a more graceful and
poised look, with slinky lines.
"Personally, I prefer royal blue.
White is always nice, but hard to
wear. I don't like red it makes
one look horsey. The trouble with
most girls is that the large sophis
ticates want to wear fluffy
dresses and appear small and
dainty. The small dainties at
tempt to look sophisticated by
wearing dresses that just don't
suit them so they both look silly.
"I like the looks of a high neck
and back. If you have beautiful
shoulders and back, then a low
cut dress is all right; but if not,
cover up. Play up your good points
and minimize your bad ones. j
"I don't know about colors, i
Men's clothes are so much of a i
uniform, anyway. The only thing
striking about them is the spot
less white of the cuffs, collar, and i
starched shirt front. If you take
them away, your formal clothes
lose much of their formality a
tux would look like a military uni
form without the braid, there
would just be something missing.
A girl wouldn't think of wearing
sport oxfords with a formal, nor
should a boy wear a colored shirt
with a dress suit."
Glenn Hedges, Bizad Senior:
"I prefer solid colors; the color
depending on the hair, eyes, com
plexion, and size of the girl. I do
not like a train distinctly. The
dress should not be cut so low as
to be called daring; I would pre
fer, however, a rather low cut
dress to one with a high collar.
Form fitting, of course.
"I would prefer a white to a
colored shirt. In my opinion, a
white formal shirt makes the for
mal dress distincttve from that of
everyday wear. I prefer the wing
collar, too. I also feel that the double-breasted
coat is a temporary
style trend which will go out of
date before very long."
