Coming exam events cast
their shadows before them
By Agnet Wanek.
Coming events cast their shad
ows before, end if you will notice
the exam schedule In today's pa
per, you will realize how too true
that statement is, Seems that lots
of the socialites have discovered
the library in these last few days
of grace . . . Theta Marie Ander

TOO MANY PINS
have confused a Kappa Delt-Dclta
Sig combination. Bill Tierney who
was a Phi Kappa Tau at Colo
rado, hung that pin on Jo Robeck,
but still wears his Delta Sig pin.
That technicality has more or less
prevented the Delt Sigs from tub
bing him. This is probably the
first case on record where a man
both has and hasn't hung his pin.
SIGMA CHI
election Monday night revealed
these new officers: Tom Horn,
president; Jack Moore, vice presi
dent; Dick Faytinger, secretary.
GETTING INTHESWING
of spring with a new pinhanging

Club. Members and their dates

garet Cekal: Bruce Claussen and

LAST WORD
on the Tri Delt-Beta uprising of
Monday night was accomplished
by the Tri Delts when they sent
the Betas a present of forty all
day suckers. Sweets for the sweet,
maybe ?
NEW OFFICERS
of Beta Sigma Psi: Harold Horh
man, president; Harry Kammer
lohr, vice-president; Glenn Berg,
secretaiy; Del Leineman, treas
urer. And for a matter of record, a
pinhanging which has escaped no
tice is that of Alpha Chi F.va May
Cromwell and Beta Sig Bob Seidel.
CAMPUS NOTES:
Kappa Sig Jack Clarke seems
pretty anxious to have it known
that he did not hang his pin on
Grace Leaders . . . must not be
true since he has been seen around
with Pi Phi Louise Ide. . . . Sigma
Kappa Jeannette Layton was
pretty excited about her trip to
Laramie, Wyo., to attend the Phi

Votes will make
Cox more than
'queen for a day'
Pictured in this week's issue of
Movie and Radio Guide is Bettie
Cox, arts and science sophomore,
Nebraska's candidate for Ail
American college queen.
Four of the sixteen girls pic
tured in the issue will be selected
by reader voters to attend the
world premiere of "Those Were
the Days" at Galesburg, Illinois.
Two other issues will carry pic
tures of the rest of the 48 state
candidates, from whom eight other
coeds will be selected to attend the
premiere.
The 48 state winners were
chosen by five prominent New
York artists: Jaro Fabry, Ar
mando, McClelland Barclay, Russel
Patterson, and Dean Cornwell.
Will see stars.
At Galesburg, the gills will be
entertained by stars of the Para
mount picture, Bonita Granville
and William Holden, and by stu
dents of Knox college. A commit
tee, headed by the director of the
picture which was adapted from
"Old Siwash" stories about Knox
college at the turn of the century,
will pick the one of the twelve na
tional winners whom they feel is
most typical of the American col
lege girl for the title, All-American
College Queen.
Hollywood bound.
The most typical girl will be sent
to Hollywood with all expenses
paid. She will be entertained there
by movie stars, and given a movie
test which may result in a movie
contract.
So, buy an issue of Movie and
Radio Guide magazine, ten cents
at any newsstand, and vote for
Miss Cox. Help send your candi
date to movie fame and boost Ne
braska. Music students take
picnic; no weekly recital
Instead of the weekly concert,
School of Music students and fac
ulty members had a picnic yester
day at 4 p. m. in Pioneer's Park.
More than 100 attended the picnic,
played baseball, volleyball, and
various other games. Chancellor
Boucher and Dean Hosp were
among those faculty members attending.

Coed Counselors
organize to help
next year's frosh
Already organized for their
work in orienting freshmen girls
next fall, is the Coed Counselor
organization, the "Big Sisters" of
the campus.
One hundred fifty big sisters
were initiated into the organiza
tion last week, and were assigned
in groups to the board members.
President of the board is Mary
Bullock; vice president, Frances
Keefer, and secretary, Jean Pow
ell. Other board members are
Ruth Clark, Priscilla Chain, Jane
DcLatour, Beth Howley, Ruth Ann
Sheldon, Harriet Talbot, Ruth
Grosvenor, Margaret Forrey, and
Dorothy Lntsch.
Form letters
Form letters are sent to all
freshmen girls who register dur
ing the summer, explaining the
purpose and organization of the
group. Then each big sister is as
signed to several little sisters, with
whom she becomes acquainted dur
ing the summer. The big sisters
also serve as guides and counselors
to all new students during fresh
man days and registration.
Coed Counselors as a group en
tertain all little sisters at one of
the traditional freshman parties, to
be held Sept. 18.
Climax of the -Coed Counselor
year are the group parties, given
by board members for the big sis
ters assigned to them and the little
sisters in the group.
Experts test
clothes sizes
Bureau, WPA work on
index for measurement
AMES, la. Not feminine
whimsy, but unsatisfactory sizes
in clothes, may account for a
woman's trying on every dress in
town before she buys.
Before long, however, she won't
have to ruin her hair-do and dis
position when she goes , a-shop-ping.
Something, finally, is be
ing done about sizes of women's
and children's clothes, according
to the Farm Science Reporter,
Iowa State College quarterly of
popularized science.
Measure 80,000.
The United States Bureau of
Home Economics and the WPA
are measuring 80,000 women to
determine which body measure
ments, easily taken, are the best
index to other body measurements.
When they have finished, and
manfacturcrs have adopted . the
findings, women will no longer ask
for a size 16 or 18, but will give
one or two basic, measurements,
the Reporter predicts.
The project follows on the heels
of one in which 147,088 children
were measured. Results indicated
that age is the least dependable
gauge for sizing garments. Age
of bust measure, present gauge fcr
sizing women's . garments, will
probably prove equally unreliable,
according to the Reporter.
Standard for children.
Height and hip girth were found
to be the most "standard" meas
urements in children's garments.
So, before very long, when Dad
goes to the store to buy a play
suit for his son and heir, he may
say "40 inches tall, hip measure,
21" Instead of "he's 8."
Manufacturers are as much in
terested in the program of mora
satisfactory sizes as are home
makers, the Reporter asserts, be
cause return of garments that "did
not fit" runs into an estimated
$10,000,000 annually.
The practice of marking the
size of garments according to age
has arisen unscientifically and is
unsatisfactory not only because
age is no indicator of size but be
cause each manufacturer uses his
own scale of sizes, according to the
Reporter.
'Setse Pooc' dance
to swell YWCA funds
"Setse Pooc." the YWCA spon
sored party and dance, will be held
Saturday night in ag activities
building. Money raised by the
party will go into the fund to send
YW delegates to the Estes Con
ference in Estes Park this sum
mer. All students are cordially in
vited to attend the party from 9
to 12. Tickets are 25c each.

liam G. Tempel. The choir is com
posed almost entirely of university
