THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Sunday, December 8, 1946
Fortunate Few
While Stags
BY DEDE MEYER.
The great night comcth and
goeth, and peace once more en
velops ye old campus. So be it
ever.
With a fanfare of trumpets and
greatest ado, the Military Ball
ushered in the University of Ne
braska's formal season Friday
night. But it is over now, and
some couples are happy, some
sad, and some just don't care.
Verily the Ball was heavily at
tended, but still there were those,
oh unworthy individuals, who
were not seen at this ultra func
tion. This group, consisting mainly
of males, is predominately drawn
from two distant classes. First are
the two out of three. (Consider
the ratio.) With not enough
femmes to go around, those men
calling for dates after the middle
of November were sadly out of
luck. Then there were the fi
nancial fiends, those who couldn't
fulhom a fat four bucks, flower
dollars, miscellaneous dinero for
pictures taken at the ball, trans
portation, food, and other acces
sories. They stayed clear of the
Coliseum. Now what did all of
them do?
Movies Crowded.
Undoubtedly, the movies were
crowded, as well as Don's and
the Pines. The Cooper Founda

tion, fortunately sensing the ca
tastrophe, imported a couple of
good pictures at the same time,
an almost unheard of phenomenon.
Selections included a psychopathic
case with lovely Ingrid Bergman,
on of those just-in-the-nick-of-time
deals, and Ernest Heming
way's rehashed masterpiece, whose
rewriters were probably ex-readers
in the English department.
Great numbers journeyed thru
the Lincoln Hotel lobby to the Le
gion Club. The attractions there
were multi slot machines, brew,
and Nellie's overflowing locker.
Balcony Spats.
Then some of the boys fre
quented the balcony of the Colis
eum, to see the sparkling dancers
below. But this isn't so strange,
for a dance without undated ob
servers is as passe as a Union
without Pat Lahr.
The remaining unfavored few
either studied (if they attend Law
College), went to bed (definitely
a minority), or dug up some ex
citement in their own little way.
Some even began adventures that
can be continued or completed
next Friday night while their
buddies are gaily escorted to the
"Big Fifteen's" affair deluxe.
But needless to say, stars and
Stite bottles glimmered Friday
night, and "a big time was had by
all."
Wool Formal

skirt takes its interest and flowing
lines from the qualities of its fab
ric, a knitted knotty wool which
drapes beautifully. The bodice is

will be placed on file with the
applications received prior to Sep
tember 30 until the 10 quota is
reached.
3. Procedure for notification of
assignment of apartments.

will notify applicants, who, ac
cording to the provisions pre
viously stated, are acceptable and
whose priority makes them eli
gible for an existing vacancy.

date the housing will be available.
Applicants described above will
be sent two copies of the agree
ment form to complete and re
turn to this office, and will be no

by that date, it will be assumed
that they are no longer interested
and their applications will be re
moved from the priority list.
B. Lists of applic; its who have
returned the agreement form and
have made the scanty deposit
will be sent by the '. using office
to the project office at the air

ority, when they can actually
move into their apartments.
4. M' .ellaneous procedures.
A. Apartments will not be held
open for applicants who are ac
cepted, and who subsequently re
quest that the date of occupancy
be deferred, but the application
will be left in its priority posi
tion, and the applicant will be as
signed an apartment on the basis
of that priority when vacancies
occur.
B. Applicants who withdraw
their applications and later wish
to be reinstated will not be rein
stated in their original priority
position, but may be permitted to

rentals and actual operational
problems will be handled by the
office of the project manager.

Through the smoke filled gloom
of our usual afternoon lab we
once again have our ear to the
ground catching a few of the
scandalous remarks tossed so very
recklessly about by those who
have become inebriated by the
salubrious atmosphere.
The first item that came drift
ing through the dense fog to
shock our unbelieving ears is the
knife throwing act that Nancy
Lawlor engaged in for a switch
in Military Ball and Mortar Board
dates. Willie Polite was the re
cipient of this dastardly attack. It
'seems that Nancy was convinced
j by Bob Lassen that the best ex
cuse would be that they were
'going steady but by all latest re-
ports, this is only a hoax, i ne
difficult v came with Willie's
thought of obtaining another date
at the late hour.
Broken Dates.
Another similar incident was Al
Casey's trip to the Alpha 1'hi
house on Monday night The pur
pose of his visit was to obliviate
relations completely with Pat
Warren breaking dates for both
of the big dances in order to take
his new steady, Meredith Bowhay.
