Pj Phi's, Alpha Chi's
Take FoBBies Eoeioirs
BY HAROLD W. ANDERSEN.
Men, you should have been there!
After watching UN coeds frolic thru their annual Coed
Follies last night, my only regret is that all the male stu
dents on the campus couldn't have set in on the sprightly,
laugh-jerking show.
If you had been there, fellows, to augment the small but
courageous male contingent, you would have seen Show
Chairman Dorothy Carnahan present the Pi Phis with the
gold loving cup symbolic of first place in the skits and the
Alpha Chis with the silver cup for first in curtain acts. Tri
Delts won second honors in the skits, while AoPi had the
second best curtain act.
You would have seen the Pi Phis, with Jo Weaver Kline
as skitmaster, play Indian in their "Happy Hunting Ground"
scene, which featured Betty Krause as a vocally inclined
Redskin madien.
You would have alternatley chuckled and roared at the
Alpha Chis' Brown Sugar curtain act, with zoot-suited
deacon Peg Shelley lured away from her faithful congrega
tion by "long, tall, brownskinned gal," whom you would have
recognized as Jackie Scott way down there under all that
make-up.
The Tri Delts' second place "Mad Hatter" skit would
have kept you laughing, I'm sure. If the humor lagged, you
had only to take a gander at those "beautiful" hats which
the girls were modelling in all seriousness.
And in the AOPis' second place skit, led by Helen "My-What-Beautiful-Co-ordination"
Gruesel, a bevy of shapely
hula gals would have delighted you as they swayed thru "Al
pha O Paradise."
Jeanne "The Sad Sweater Girl" Swarr would have given
you a kick, too. Jeannie paraded across the stage between
acts, changing the signs, and exhibiting a new sweater at

Morrill Hall Art Exhibit Displays
Paintings
BY GHITA HILL
"Those pictures aren't good be
cause they are not practical," was
a comment made by one of the
gallery spectators at the current
art exhibit now on display in Mor
rill hall.
The profound comment was
overheard by Miss Kady B. Faulk
ner, university art instructor who
refutes the opinion. She says,
"The pictures are practical as they
cacr. have a meaning. They each
mean something else which is told
in the artist's own individual way."

From behind a white lace parasol in a lavender and old
lace setting, Betty Lou Simon of the Residence Halls was

introduced the new TNC, who walked to the front of the
Temple theater stage with a parasol shielding her face. She
moved the parasol as she faced the audience, and was pre
sented with a bouquet of roses by Miss Hemphill. Betty Lou
wore, in keeping with the simpler theme this year, a rose
pinafore to match the roses.

Barb Activities Board for Women, a member of YWCA, and
notifications chairman of Tassels.

time dresses and a date ensemble or two came in for their

the most eye-catching picture in
the show," comments Rosamund

side." Thomas Hart Benton, whose
