Spring brings ...
Astounding number of candy
passings, steadies 'n stuff
By Agnes Wanek.
ADDING A BIT
of color to the spring campua are
the Chi O's with their bright yel
low sweaters decorated with their
Greek letters in red. The Alpha
Chi's are helping things along by
wearing similar apparel.
CANDY PASSINGS
have increased to an astounding
number. Added to the list are the
Monday night treats of Alpha Chi
Kva May Cromwell and Beta Sig
Boh Seidel and Sigma Kappa Vir
gina McGrass and AGR Millard
Stanek.
ILLEGAL RUSHING?
or is it? The Tuesday morning
mail brought a long official look
ing envelope from Dclts Bob Mc
Campbell, Berney Buell, and Jack
Spittler to Pi Phis Ann Beth Keith,
Susan Shaw, and Shirley Fay
tinger. It unofficially sent each of
them rusli cards with every date
taken. . .wonder whether we should
take the idea litterally. . .
HIGH SCHOOL
class rings are being exchanged
those days if one can believe what
he hears... at least DU Ray
Beethe has managed to take care
of the exchange with Barbara Lee
Chi O.
STEADY
list of steadies would include the
affair between Dolt Dick Gellatly
and Alpha Phi Pat Wilson ... Also
Sigma Kappa Margaret Katon and
Beta Sig Glenn Berg.
BESIEGED
by telegrams, and specials and
long distance calls is the Alpha Xi
Delt house as Pauline John and her
two far away heat interests have
been keeping the wires and the
mails busy making up for the
miles between Lincoln and Seattle.
COMPETITION
for the Kiji-Tau Tussle will be
provided this Saturday by the Sig
ma Nu-Kappa Sig field day and
one wonders how soon the battle
between the two will be decided.
ANXIOUS TO KEEP
some of his brothers from being
tubbed Monday night was Beta
Johnny Weingarten. but there was
method, in his madness. He has
also hung his pin... on DG Betty
Jo Koehler. And while we're on
PARALYZED
... by a blank sheet
Utterly stricken
with the awful feel
ing that she can't
write a clever let
ter. All she needs
is a box of Wits End
Outdoor Rowdy Note
Paper to limber up
her writing muscles.
In each box 16 sassy
sketches and 16 running-starts
for hard-to-write
letters.
Colors different,
too. 32 sheets, 16
envelopes, and a
flippant blotter.
Five assortments
each a surprise you
should give yourself.
For Everyday, Puny
Days, Gadabout Days,
Outdoor Days, and
College Days.

the subject of the Koehler-Wein-garten
combination, you might be
interested in the story of the pic
ture of Betty Jo that may even
yet be hanging in the Beta trophy
room. Someone took a picture of
Betty at the Story Book Ball
where she impersonated Sonja
Henie. Later one of her baby
pictures was superimposed on that
and the result was amazing. The
Delta Gammas were serious
enough about getting it back, be
cause when the Betas left to
take in the candy passing of
Monday night, they made an un
successful invasion of the Beta
house.
ONE MAN'S POISON
is only poison ivy and if you
want to know about it, ask Bill
"Spurs" Frank of the Sig Alph
house who will tell you all about
how to avoid getting poison ivy on
picnics.
CONTRARY TO ALL
REPORTS
an exclusive from a Beta brother
reports that Chuck Pillsbury did
not previously have his pin on
Kappa Kay Tunison. But Monday
Kay retrieved the much talked
about pin from Tom Woods to
return it to Chuck, who gave it
right back.
THUMBING THEIR WAY
to Omaha Friday night were
Kappa Sigs Junior Irving and
Hail Hunt and Sigma Nil Paul
Svoboda and they ran into no end
of trouble. They started out early
and had to fix flat tires and ride
in auto trunks to got back, but
whore there's a will there's a
way. But when they came back
about 5:30 in the morning they
were plenty tireii.

CRESCENT AND STAR

of Dick Miller.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Colliers . . .
Picks Jack Cole
on list of 100
best dressed male
. . . undergrads
When Sigma Nu Jack Cole took
the 1940 BDOC honors he was
only starting to exhibit his versa
tility as a campus clothes expert.
Last week he was picked by Col
liers (in a survey including the
prominent colleges of America) as
one of the 100 best dressed under
graduates. Colliers magazine, which has
been running a series of articles on
modern styles, is trying to obtain
information concerning collegiate
trends. One hundred stylish stu
dents were notified by letter and
were asked to fill in a question
naire. They were also required to
write a 200 word report on
"Trends in Undergraduate Ap
parel." On the basis of these, half
of the hundred will be eliminated.
Pick finalists
Henrv L. Jackson, style editor
nf Colliers, will then visit each of
the remaining contestants and
pick the ten best dressed college
undergraduates. This picked group
will meet and be rewarded by a
trip, possibly to California.
In his essay, Jack stressed the
trend of shorter pants, v-neeked
sweaters and covert cloth trousers.
He stated that the most definite
trend was toward stitching in all
varieties of apparel. Cole also
called attention to the fact that
I nearly all styles were originated in
' Hollywood and came to the mid
west directly from there or by way
of wealthy young easterners. As
an illustration, he pointed out that
I nearly 50 trends had been traced
ntv ii h "o
university.
The ten winners of the final
prizes in the Colliers contest will
probably be published in the first
June issue of that weekly.
Mortar Boards
I
U ick successors
via serenades
... at Ohio State
Out of the night that's the way
Ohio State's Mortar Boards are
picked.
There are no 12:30 nights for

campus, at least not on one night.
Early in the morning, between the
hours of 12 midnight and 5 a. m.
new Mortar Boards are awakened
by the outgoing members singing
the honorary's srenadc under
their windows. Nobody sleeps
that night not with screams of
joy from sisters when one of their
flock is chosen for membership'in
the '"high and mighty" society.
The following morning, at 11
a. m., the newly picked members
I gather to listen to an address from
a high administrative authority.

Student asks . . .
Coeds in a rut?
You can only tell
by flux of fads
. . . through colleges
A student writer at Louisiana
State university fears coeds there
are getting into a rut because
they haven't come up with any
new fads recently. To prove his
point he cites the following fads
that recently blossomed at the fol
lowing schools:
At Smith college five girls ap
peared for supper in very short
skirts, all exactly alike but in dif
ferent colors.
California coeds blossomed out
in Chinese coolie straw hats and
dickies, leading to the suggestion
that L.S.U. girls try frayed pick
aninny straw hats.
At Vassar recently the girls
went on a hairdressing rampage,
cutting bangs and wearing harle
quin glasses. At Smith college a
girl went to a dance with a single
sapphire planted in a forehead
curl. At Northwestern they have
a special speech school bob really
just another version of the Flor
entine page boy.
At WellesU y a student borrowed
a milkman's suit and wore it for
study during exam week. Now the
gills can hardly study without
their overalls.
From Smith college also comes
the craze for red flannel shirts and
faded blue jeans. At Bryn Mawr
they cram for exams in dungarees
rolled to the knee and the wildest
plaid shirts they can find.
