Friday, January 11, 1946 THE NEBRASKAN Page 5 Tea Leaves Tell Future of 1916; Stress Plastics BY GENENE MITCHELL. With a round of merry-making, thankfulness, and even a little thoughtfulness, the year 1946 is invited to stay a while. The wondering public dares to make predictions as to what it will bring. Predictions being a waste of time, I proceed to the nearest re liable tea-leaf reader, and watch her distorted gaze as she relates the future of unsuspecting little 1946. It's good. to hear the marriage license bureau docs a marriage license business because of the robot housewife.

Sally O'Shea and former Army man from Omaha, Dick Kruse, are a brand new combination that will try its wings at the affair. Merle Mosier and Bunny Mathews (how that girl gets around!) are an other couple for the fun as are Bob Green and Nancy Baker. It MUM As Well Be Spring. pmnings are spreading like an epidemic over the campus. Every third fellow, or gal you see these days either is engaged, pinned, or will be in one of these categories in the near future. From the Dorm comes the news that Janet Crawford of PBK fame received a diamond over the holidays from Kenny Piper. Janet and her roommate, Helen Plechas passed the candy together Monday night. Helen treated the gals in honor of her ring from Chuck Soutel. Another Dormite in the diamond circle is Nedra Ohmstede along with her man Eddie Valek. Also from the Dorm comes news that the upperclassmen have issued an ultimatum to Vickie Chilquist, Jo Ann Traum, and Kay Hayes: candy or else. Patty Hodges gave out with the sweets Monday night, too, in honor of her engagement to home town fellow, Bob Sewell, who was a prisoner of war for three years. In the pinning department: Shirley Jenkins now wears the Sigma Chi pin of Bates Murphy from Idaho. That's the culmina tion of a steady deal since Sep tember. Jim Worcester made things relatively permanent with Margaret Engstrom by giving her his Phi Gam pin. Sister Mildred Engstrom now sports a diamond from the Navy's Dale Brehm, by the way. Could Be! Rumor has it that Tom Cornish has made up his mind that Ellie Swanson is THE girl and would like to hang his pin. Things are breaking for Bob Buxton. He's just learned that Rog Haskec isn't coming home after all. Now Buckeye can date Pat Gilligan with a clear con science. Jim Stoddard has been having a wonderful furlough from all re ports and seeing plenty of Dor othy Manion, incidentally. Chick Story has re-routed his afternoon walks to U Street and the Kappa house.

Speaking of swimming, beach outfits are not any briefer, which is a boon to many, figuratively speaking. And the old turtle neckline is now applied to the bathing suit. All congressmen are re-elected ior runuiment or their promise of two helicopters in every roof garage, and nylons on every fe male. The hard-to-get and hard-to-keep-clean white shirt problem is solved. Again laurels to plastics. Now when a girl gets her lipstick on a fellow's collar, a small amount of water is applied and zippo .... presto, good as new. Just the Thing:. As to the car of the future, the vision gets dim. Convertibles appear to be plastic-glass topped, with radar accident proofing, and two-way radio-telephones. If these predictions are not realized, the Nebraskan will not be held responsible. Neither can I nor the tea-leaf reader, for we both occupy the penthouse suite at Mother McGrady's Rest Home for Incurable Maniacs, held.
