The Great Democratic Institution,
Weatherman, Has Fun in Nebraska
By June Jamieson.
National defense or no national
defense, something's got to be done
about the weatherman. It's not
that we don't like the weather
man. In fact, it's quite the op
posite. We like, the weatherman.
We think he's a nice, democratic
institution.

'42 Dresses Are Just
What They Used to Be
Reversibles
Are Rainy
Day Order
Rainy wfather attire on the
campus features the ever popular
reversible. Turned wrong side out
the so-called water proof mater
ial seems to keep the student dry,
but what about the coat? Soggy
shapeless reversibles are seen hung
on the doors and in the halls of
almost every house on the campus.
Regardless, however, of the pro
ficiency of these protecters, the
lads and lassies still cling to their
reversibles in rainy weather.
And what about boots? The ma
jority of the students who still
attend their classes regularly dur
ing this lazy spring weather are
caught without their feet cover
ings when the pre-April showers
pour down, but they do own boots.
The coeds stick to their brown,
red and white pull-over boot, some
I of cowboy style and others featur
! ing aviation wings. The boys wear
anything from zipper boots to
dressy tight fitting rubbers, that
! is. when they take the time to put
! them on. The majority of the time
i thev wade across nuddles in their
rubber soled saddles.
Summed up in one short phrase,
the Nebraska students wear re
versibles and boots in rainy
weather. Well, doesn't everyone?
democracy without democratic in
stitutions, i. e., the weatherman?
There's something a little grim
about going to bed at night with
no idea what the condition of the
ground's going to be when you
look out the window the next
morning. It might be covered
with snow. So you put away the
nice spring suit you had cleaned
and pressed and throw the saddle
shoes back on the closet floor.
Attired in a parka and ranger
boots, you struggle to open the
front door against an 80 mile an
hour wind. Extending your arms
to either side, you're blown from
the Drug to Sosh and make a
perfect three-point landing before
the door of your classroom. Noth-

Technologists
Hear Manter
This Weekend
Meeting here tomorrow, the Ne
braska Society of Medical Tech
nologists will hear an address by
Dr, W. H. Manter at a banquet
at the-Cornhusker hotel.
Dr. Paul M. Bancroft of Lincoln
and Dr. J. P. Tollman of Omaha
will talk at the groups afternoon
sessions at the Lancaster county
medical society quartets in the
Sharp building. Dr. Tollman is
pathologist at the UN hospital
in Omaha and is the new advisor
of the society.
Officers will be elected and in

ing daunted at this unconventional
method of getting to an eight
o'clock, you sit down, thaw out
and take a six week's examina
tion. After Exam Tra-La.
Here's the catch: "When the
exam is over, you stroll out onto
the mall and meet people dressed
in jackets and no hats going to
their nine-o'clocks. Naturally, you
feel rather conspicuous in Eskimo
garb because the sun's shining,
it's 80 in the shade and som
one asks you to join them on
picnic that evening.
After all, you don't let a thing
like weather get you down; so,
casually avoiding the subject, you
acquiesc and plan a big deal east
of town. And so home to lunch
and the afternoon siesta. True to
your darkest suspicions, when you
awake (after dreaming of a sunny
beach in Florida), it's not raining
liquid gold, but good old-fashioned
rain. That automatically cancels
the picnic and suggests the al
ternative of a good movie. By
the time you are dressed in rain
coat, rain hat and old shoes, the
snow has turned to sleet and it's
too slippery to venture beyond
the inside of the window. So you
give it up and go into hiberna
tion until summer. At least, we do.
Prof. H. Vance White, head of
the metallurgy department of Vir
ginia Polytechnic institute, has
discovered an alloy that softens
as it grows old. It is a combina
tion of lead with a small quantity
of tin.
Coeds To Wear

Oneot the university's largest

one of the hostesses, coeds will

high heels and carry purse and
gloves.
