Ball practice plus
speed equals new
course for Reed
The Military Ball was on the
schedule of Ralph Reed, D. U.
senior, but the odds were against
his attending, or so it seemed Fri
day morning.
Reed was in a hurry, Thursday
night, to get to the coliseum to
attend grand march practice. A
50 cent fine would have been
charged for tardinenss. But, a
policeman thought he was going
too fast, and so Reed was given
a ticket for speeding.
Friday morning, he was due at
9 in municipal court and also had
an important exam at the same
time. He appeared in court before
9 and heard he would have to pay
a fine of $6.60. Reed said he
couldn't pay, learned he would
have to go to jail. The result
would be his missing the Ball.
Reed's cause was championed
by a stenographer who called his
troubles to the attention of the
officers. After a conference it was
decided that Reed could ateend
traffic school for one month and
there would be no fine. Agreeing
to this action, Reed departed for
his exam.
Said Reed later, "Crime never
pays."

design exhibit
Sketches, drawings

Two colorful exhibitions of ar
chitectural designing have been ar

quarters in the basement of Tem
ple for exhibition this week.
The first exhibition group con

colleges of the country, and was
obtained from the Collegiate
Schools of Architecture. The sec
ond group is made up of 30 orig
inal sketches from the Beau Arts
Institute of Design, New York
City.
The Beaux Arts exhibition is
composed of drawings, done in
color, illustrating modern exteri
ors and floor plans of various
types of structures.
Also on display are several
archeological problems, featuring
modern reconstructions of an
cient Italian towers, early ships,
etc.
The display was especially ar
ranged for the Saturday meeting
of the Nebraska Architects asso
ciation, but will be open during the
week to all interested in it.

dent from Rome, Italy, will give

Emancipated
women bring
divorce evils
The emancipation of women is
one reason for the high divorce
rate in America said Dr. Mabel
Elliott of Kansas university in an
address this week before class in
sociological principles. She is an
authoress of a book an family life.
"Other causes of the American
divorce rate are a puritanical at
titude, the economic independence
of women, and the social accept
ance of divorce, she explained.
In Scandanivian countries di
vorce is by mutual consent, she
added, and in Italy there are no
divorces.
Today in Russia, Dr. Elliott
went on to say, legal marriages
are not related with the church.
There is no religious ceremony
and the ceremony is very brief. A
divorce was formerly very easy to
obtain there, but is becoming more
difficult. The average family life
is comparatively happy and the
women are wage earners outside
the home as fell as in it.
Museum to send
out winter party
Through a co-operutive ar
rangement with the WPA, the uni

early ice age, but previous to this

Sadie Hawkins Day ain't
so bad-for them males
Back in them thar hills, runs a
new tradition. They get their
man; not like the Canadian mount
ies, but through an institution
equally infallible Sadie Hawkins
Day. This campus won't have a
Sadie Hawkins Day when the man
caught has to marry the woman,
but the girl will take the man of
her choice (and incidentally foot
the bill) to the Mortar Board par
ty, which antedates the Hawkins
tradition.
It all started when All Capp put
Sadie Hawkins Day in his Li'l Ab
ner comic strip, with which more
collegians than like to admit it
are fully familiar.
Don't get caught.
According to Dogpatch tradi
tion Sadie Hawkins was an old
maid, whose father decided that
the only way he could get her mar

All over the country colleges
and schools have proclaimed Sa

now the girls simply take the elig

The date of the day, set by tra

Students at Tennessee university
began the new craze with a Sadie

spread north and east and south
and west, and is observed now
somewhere in every state.
