Junior prom committee
bans corsages ot ball
Corsages will be banned from
the civic auditorium Friday night
when students gather -for the 1939
Junior Prom according to an an
nouncement issued last night by
Fred McFarland, chairman of the
formal dance.
"After polling all of the fra
ternities on Greek row," McFar
land said, "the committee decided
that it would be best to make a
no-corsage rule for the prom. Most
of the men were all for the Idea
and there were some who said that
they wo,uld go because they didn't
have to buy flowers in addition to

Students favor elimination
of smoking in Oni. buildings
Responding to tie new Univer
sity campaign to eliminate smok
ing in campus buildings, students
Wednesday unanimously agreed
that they favor the plan and will
support it. According to Univer
sity officials, the campaign's out
come will be decided by the ftu
dents, and the result of the drive
will determine the University's
future action on the matter.
Although all students inter
viewed favored the plan, a few
suggested that certain rooms in
the newer buildings be set aside
for smoking purposes. They all
realized the necessity for such a
drive, but some could see little
reason for prohibiting smoking in
the halls of the newer structures.
"Because of the nature of many
buildings and the crowded condi
tions between classes," said Walter
Rinehart, '39, president of South
hall, "I can see that smoking
would be dangerous. I think it is
not too much to ask the students
to refrain from smoking until
they go outside."
In the opinion of James Fischer,
'42, the campaign is a good idea.
"It seems," he said, "that smoking
could be confined to the out-of-

Unanimous passage of a legisla

The unanimous action of the

Governor Harlan J. Bushfield and

"I favor such a plan for not

'42. "But I suggest that rooms in

Three coeds, Marjorie Rush, '42,
Jane Bosart and Jtan Kernodle,
both '39, voiced their endorse
ment. They acknowledged the
merit of the drive, but indicated
that rooms might be provided in
the newer buildings for smokers
"Where smoking is dangerous to

tutes a fire hazard," said George
Bloom, '39, "I think it is a good
idea to have a ruling against
smoking. It seems, however, that
rooms could be provided especially
for smokers in the new buildings."
He pointed out that in the Medical
building such a provision is made

STANFORD
Coeds protest
Dutch haircuts
with pigtails
It's not quite the new passive
Daisy Mae technique that protest
ing Stanford co-eds from Roble
hall are using, but at least it has
attracted attention. Tuesday, all
those girls blossomed forth in the
full splendor of hair ribbons and
pigtails in their annual rebellion
against their unsuspecting breth
ern at Encina hall, men's dormi
tory. It apparently all came about
because the women were irked at
the. current fad for "dutch" hair
cuts now rampant on that cam
pus. Astounded frosh men stood
with jaws agape as familiar face
after familiar face passed by,
pigtails flying.
At last reports. Encina was

Fraternities looted of

Three fraternities were robbed
night before last, by a burglar who
would take nothing but cash. All
of the victimized houses, Alpha
Gamma Rho, Phi Kappa, and
Kappa Delta Rho, reported that
jewelry and watches lying about
in plain sight had been untouched.
Phi Kappa suffered the greatest
loss, estimated at about $50. Alpha
Gamma Rho lost about $40, and
Kappa Delta Rho only $7.50.
Police as yet have been unable to

the logical conclusion to be drawn
is that the fraternity is not a good
one, for one of a fraternities'
promises to a new freshman is
that it will endeavor to make him
better for the experience. Some
fraternities are able to turn out
men; others only succeed in pro
ducing over grown high school
boys.
In its present form, Hell Week
is a serious detriment to fraternal
life. Fraternities themselves must
decide what is to be done about it.
The majority of the big fraterni
ties have outlawed the practice na
tionally, but the effect on local
chapters seems to have been nil.

Ivan Clark, secretary of the man

"careful consideration." Holmai.
indicated he thought the amend

Representative Angell stated he
would keep the proposal in mind.
The claim is now being consid

committee will determine the

Smoking at Prom objected
to by ladies Dec, 1912
The odor of smoke at the prom
was objectionable to many of the
young ladies present.
In last Friday's issue of the
Daily Northwestern an article ap
peared expressine the "attitude of
the social board toward smoking
at the prom. Notwithstanding, sev
eral young men were smoking in
the lounge room between dances.
There is an unwritten rule at
Northwestern that there shall be
no smoking on the campus. Why
should this not hold good at the
prom? Furthermore, was it the
gentlemanly thing for these men
to do? "On with the smoking, let
gentlemen be unrefined," is a
poor maxim, and is certainly not
In accord with the otherwise high
standard of Northwestern. Tublic
sentiment should demand that
smoking should be stopped at
parties and dances, as well as at
prom; and it Li to be hoped that
these gentlemen will, conduct
themselves as such in action as
well as in name in the future.
No, this isn't a gag, but this
slight fact might bear mention
ing: the above was written on the
editorial page of the December 17
Daily Northwestern, 1912.
To bring the facts up to a mod
ern date we find ov$r 50 percent
of the cigarette butts of N. U. Ira
ternlty and sorority people have
lipstick on them! Imagine! for
every fraternity man who added
to the blue air in the gym at the
post prom last Saturday, 1.74 per
cent of a sorority gal was out
doing him. All of which goes to
show, "Where there's smoke,
there's fire. . . .
