If there be any truth in this old ballard's theme we're in no posi tion to say, but we're willing to wager that more people came I Personally ( 1 s m ; ? away from the Military Ball with aching feet than with romantic upsets. There were many interesting things given to pleasant specula tion. Daring formals which hab itually produce the male question, "What holds 'em up?" revealed a great number of bare shoulders, and we nourished the naughty hope that some courageous coed would create the sensation of the evening by appearing in a gown designed by Rene in answer to her alarming prediction of last spring. However, the fear of the wrath of God and Miss Johnston proper ly prevented any such eye-opening expose. The presentation of Honorary Colonel, "the Students' Choice," was novel enough, but somehow we failed to detect any element of surprise in audience reaction. But then, perhaps there's such a thing as mass clairvoyance. (At this point of writing, one of the crusading pan-hellers dragged us over to a corner, and proceeded to give us a little "talk.") The surprise element did show up later, while dancing, when we observed the usually-together couples with other dates. Could this be the unhappy result of hav ing to make dates for the Ball months in advance? You'll learn, girls, what may be your mad pas- v sion now can be, three months hence, the unbearable guy with whom you wished you hadn't a date. This works vice versa, you know, but the male animal has no choice: He either makes the date when he can ,or else he stays home, doesn't spend four bucks for a ticket, three for a corsage, and five for dinner. The ques tion that comes to our mind is: Which is the better off? You be the judge. There's one commendation we must make. To the persons re sponsible for having the yellow cloth chandeliers used for lighting instead of the glaring top lights we express a hearty "thanks." It made a great difference, as any one will tell you who was at both the Homecoming dance and the Military Ball. Soft lights, sweet music, aro matic corsages, and tender (if off key) crocning of escorts in their ladies' ears made the evening omantic enough for everyone to 'tderline the Military Ball avily in mental or diary nota-ons.

Inane, Absurd Reach Peak in Commercial radio is fast ap proaching its peak. It is not that I believe it should be abolished. Oh no. In fact, I have even heard some commercially sponsored programs that are good. It's just that most of the radio advertise ments do not sound realistic, and most of the announcers who ad vertise do not talk the way people in real life do. People in real life frequently commend advertised products to their friends. If they are recom mending a certain brand of toaster, they may say, "It's good," "I like it," but never "Go to your neighborhood store immediately and buy this toaster. It will do everything plug itself in the wall, fry your bacon and make your coffee." If people in real life were like radio characters, perhaps the story would sound like this. Furely Fictitious. Billy Brown's car screeched to a stop. It was because he was driving an Atomicosmo with its split-second stopping and built in air conditioning with no extra cost, that the girl walking in front of his car had not been killed. He got out of his car to talk with the girl. She said her America's :.iJ Ml - ' . n- - ' CLEAN, FRESH.

Smiling shyly, Minnie replied that she had bought it at Miller's, that distinctive store, and women's fa vorite in Lincoln for generations. "It's beautiful," Billy said, "Smart as Paris, and that longer narrow skirt but come, may I take you somewhere. Where do you live?" Minnie hesitated, not long, just long enough to be proper, then nodded, and got into the car. She told him that she lived at the Am bassador. "The Ambassador," Billy ex claimed, "you mean the place where they have furnished and unfurnished suites of two and three rooms, and even a closet in some?" She nodded again, and they drove on in silence until they reached a gas station. "Fill her up," Billy called to the attendant. Then he turned to Minnie and said, "Zephyr 'gas It is best in the long run, and best in the short run too. It means more miles per gallon and it is better for the car."
