S 8 b: 6 S MATTER? y Carton Brodcrick Well, T sure liavo missed all of you for so long ltut T have Leon working off ton incompletes and 27 down hours, ala the Dean's orders, so 1 ain't been able to give you all the campus stuff that is 'happening. It sure is inconsiderate of the uni versity to make me do all this school work because 1 have lots of other things that are much more interesting to do. The editor of this sheet told me today was a fashun edition or something like that there so me and Callie decided to write about what to wear and what not to wear, especially what not to wear! The Puritans and the Cement Boards wear the big shot out fits on Ihe campus with red and black robes. Those Cement Pored hats look like something you would carry a basket of dirty clothes on if you were able to balance it be cause they are so flat. Maybe they are made flat to fit some of the heads of the feins in that little club. The Puritans robes are quite the snazz this year what with about twenty-five juniors waiting on every corner waiting to snatch them oil' when some guy like Rukacck comes by after a niiiht with the bovs, or when Who-What comes around a corner after a night with the girls. Those juniors are led by such "we think we will be big shots come spring" Jacobs, Miller, H'mjrins, Henderson and 'Ronnie Met.. If you ask me, the Puritans are so busy trying to act important, they never know whether they have those robes on or not so they might as well give 'cm to those juniors right now. Well, 1 sure gol in on a big deal the other night. I was stepping out on Callie for a late dale and was getting back to my frat about four in the morning (boy. was that ever a date phone number 2-7:Tl) and just as I was going up the steps of my frat house I heard some people coming up the street. Well, you know how I'm always alert and keep my eyes wide open also my mouth - well, anyhow, I slipped behind one of the pillars on the front porch of my frat house and watched to see who it was because I said to myself either a lot of people is stepping out on their girls or the girls are stepping "out on a Trl of fellows. Well, about 14 or 1o babes come walking down the side walk sorta pussyfoolin' it and they was carrying some red paint. So watched 'em come up to the porch and they painted some sort of sign and then they left quick and went over to the next house. Poy was I ever surprised at some of the babes who was out there painting those red circles. One of them babe's name was something that rimed with the name most guys give for stomach when they are talking about a stomach ache. She had her knit tin' bag with her so 1 knowed it was her. Well, another one of the babes T just got a glimpse of and she had a Cornhusker in her hand but 1 sure don't know who it would be. She was sorta fondling that book but 1 couldn't get a look al her pen because of the pillar. Maybe it's just as well. The only other bt'be 1 even heard say anything was some babe who kept Idling the babes that she was calling a sewing circle meeting for next week and Ihey would insl.al the new officers. She kept saying that she sure was sorry she wasn't president anymore because she and some guy named "llavley" had such fun talking over men and women politics mud deciding what to do. Well, they left then and T went in and slept it off thinking it may have been a bad dream or loo much old hicory. When 1 woke up next day thio, 1 found the sign and decided not even old hickory can do va. Moral: never date out on a swell babe like Callie; AFRICAN FRONT With the armies, of three allied nations carry ing out a pincer movement from west, south and east in four separate spearheads, it ap peared late last night that the final assault to crush axis forces in Africa is under way. While Fighting French motorized forces were advancing from the Pake Chad region to the south toward the enemy armies in the Pay of Bengasi area, American and British patrols had joined battle with axis outguards to the west of Bizerte and Tunis, Avh.ere axis air borne troops are digging in. Strategy of the allied armies in the west apparently calls for two spearheads, one aimed at Bizerte and Tunis, the other at Tripoli. To the east of Tripoli and now within a hun dred miles of PI Agheila, the Pritish Eighth army has overtaken the rear-guard of Pom mel's once "best in the world' Afrika Korps. Bengasi, r0 miles to the .north of the Pritish column, now appears to be out of the ques tion as a hohliiig-alTack garrison for Pom mel's army. RUSSIAN FRONT DNB reports carried last night the stovy of the launching of large-scale Russian counter attacks in the Caucasus, the Don and Pybachi peninsula areas. HASTKRN FRONT Japanese military offiicals, still reeling from the blow delivered Nip sea forces in Ihe naval action Nov. Pi-1"), reported the start of a IJ. S. drive to "recapture the Pidies "is not far off." In New Guinea, American and British forces are converging from the south to within 20 miles of Puna, the enemy's main New Guinea invasion base. Possibly pointing to the breaking of big news from that area, Ihe second consecutive day of silence from the Solomons was main tained. Last news of Guadalcanal came over a week ago, before 1he naval action north of that island last Friday. PR A NCR ' Indicating an impending military alliance be tween Vichy and Berlin, .uazi officials placed Pierre Laval in full dictatorial control of France yesterday, replacing Marshal Petain. Destroying the last semblance of any "free" government on the part of the French, the Vichy government has moved to Paris, re tain's loss of control may indicate a past lack, of full co-operation on the part of Ihe aged marshal, while Laval's new powers pave the way 1o full military co-operation between Paris and Pcrlin. PNG LAND Of special significance was Ihe bombing raid carried out by the RAF on Turin. Italy's chief northern industrial city. The Turin raid marks the second time in Ihe past HO days which RAF planes have carried out long range (1,200 miles) bombinsr attacks across Europe un molested. All action considered, it is becom ing more and more apparent that 1he axis has ils'back to the wall in air strength. This Edition The Daily Nebraskan presents its annual fall fashion edi tion today using a wartime camtis as its theme. Many studenls not on the staff have contributed their talents to this effort and their work is appreciated. The theme of fashions during the war may seem light and trivial in contrast to the fact thai men and women are Jiving in war-torn cities and fighting on the battlefields all over the world. Fashions are not necessarily out of place now, however, because they merely set forth styles which are in the best taste during the wiir. We hope this edition meets with your approval. 1943 V There's a new look about l1iss Nebraska this year . . . she's alert to the world, the war, and takes time front her Mndv Keliedtile to do Ketl dross work or heeome a Nurses Aide, (one is the sloppy girl with a long, too-rastial lioh . . . and in her place is a smart-looking, carefully groomed young woman.
