"After the Ball is over . . .
many a heart doth ache . . ." 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

your dress," Billy said. 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
