It Says Here
BY TOT TIE FIDDOCK
The picnics of the weekend past
Ushered spring in to the U. N.
campus with a buzz. . .some of the
boys were a little perturbed when
a vital part of their picnic equip
ment rolled out of the trunk of
one of the many cars in the long
trek to the various gulches and
gullies northwest of town.
The ATO Storybook Ball
seems to be promising: a fine
time for a lot of people this
weekend, and at last there seems
to be some ATO's going ... all
the boys aren't taking- corn-fed
Nebraska gals, though, and
, among- those flying in dates for
the traditional dance are Roland
Finley, Don Papcz, Terry Fuller
and George Abbott. . .Fig- Flagg
is flying Sheila Curran in from
the dorm . . according to Jerry
Jaeupke, who had a gleam in
his eye when he told me, little
Sheila is tops on his list (and
the list is long) of "Girls I Love
To Whistle At."
Like to suggest that Patty Jen
sen be named Triad Girl and start
another queen tradition on campus
. . . after invites from a Sig Chi,
a Phi Delt and a Beta, Pat agreed
to Dave Speck as squire for the
big dance Friday night.
And speaking of traditions,
the sorority and fraternity
housemothers started a new one
yesterday. . .since the Theta
Xi's have built the first new
house on campus for lo! t"se
many years, the housemothers
had a surprise luncheon and
housewarming for them . . to
keep the tradition going, more
new houses.
Jack Donaldson certainly takes
an awful beating from Candy
Jones and her sorority sisters...
early this week Jack and Candy
were sitting on the porch after
lunch enjoying the half-hatched
spring weather, when Darlene
Pothast purely by accident, of
course, dropped a bottle of India
ink out of the third floor window
. . .now Jack is going to start his
own minstrel show before the dye
wears off.
Our final contribution for this
week is to pin a medal on Rich
ard Kuhl.. they found Amelia
Earhart. . .yes, they did... she
was up in Richard's room, and
that's why he wouldn't open the
door . .no tomatoes, please.

Men's New
Modes Shoiv
Modernism
BY HORATIO SCROOMFREED.
Mah! Mah! Men's fashions for
spring and sur.imer are the much
talked about subjects nowadays.
I don't know who exactly is talk
ing about them unless, of course,
it would be the textile manufac
turers who are toasting the well
dressed man with the 65 dollars a
month income. Should I say,
"Name one?" .
The many different styles com
ing from California including the
jerkin and cardigan will spring
into the limeliiiht, along with the
cool and comfortable slacks and
sport shirts.
Startling.
Probably the most startling bit
of evening wear to migrate east
from Sunland is the radical tux
edo. This little job, a midnight
blue, the jacket being the car
digan style with rounded and
sewed-down lapels. Now bear
with me while I go on.
The seven-pleated shirt you
wear with this has two points
which extend down over the waist
line of the trousers in a very
sharp way. Black patent leather
wedgies are worn for footgear and
the ideal headpiece is a yellow
palm straw, low crowned and
broad brimmed hat with a narrow
yellow and blue band. The bow
tie carries through this yellow and
blue idea with horizontal stripes.
The Sinatra era of bow ties is
going out. Rapidly replacing it

Cautious Pedestrians
Class Student Drivers
BY DON SHEPHERD.
Did you ever stand on the curb
and watch people go by driving
their respective cars?
Lolling in the high wind in front
of the Union the other day I was
startled by a fellow who sped by
facing south and driving east! He
was sitting as one might if parked
and talking to someone. (Just
someone," not THAT one). The
only catch was that he was not
parked, and no one was in the
car but him!
Then too. there's the multitude
of drivers who whizz around town
driving with their right arms over
the top of the seat. Now I don't
doubt that there is a deep-seated
reason for such a position, maybe
these drivers are keeping in prac
tice for a Saturday night date; but
oft-hand it looks rather odd when
no one else is in the car and the
right hand that could be shifting
gears, turning on the radio, push
ing in the cigarette lighter, or any
of the tasks set aside for the right
hands of drivers, is nonchantly
hanging over the back of the seat
with absolutely nothing to do.
Two Types.
Ever see a hair ribon fly by at
the wheel? Well that is the
short - girl - who-drives-her-tall-
boyfriend's-car" type. In order to
make the assorted gadgets placed
on the floorboard of the car react
with her wedgies she must sit on
the very edge of the seat and risk
beating her nose with the gear
shift knob.
The counter-jart of this type
rides by looking to the pedestrian,
like a dromedary at the wheel.

Simple Registration Process
Simply Confusing to Students
BY LARRY GOLDBLATT,
To some few of the less intelli
gent who are hazy on the subject
of registration, this article is di
rected. First, may it be noted,
it you do not understand the prec
ess, you are not of intellectual
quality that are included in the
masses of those in the category of
-university material" (those about
whom we hear so much). If you
do Understand it, you are smarter
than K of the faculty and a
traitor to the rest of us. Let us
analyze the text.

Spring Daze
Bring Longer
Study Hours
BY PAT NORDIN
It is spring. After a long hard
winter, many of us have come
forth completely disillusioned.
We have found that three hour
labs do last three hours, one can
easily starve on picnics, and going
steady gets you nothing but a
prison-gray pjdor. Yes, we have
aged these las-t few months, but
does this newly acquired maturity
inspire confidence?
No, our elders, often affection
ately dubbed fire extinguishers,
insist upon throwing illumination
on all our actions by placing lights
on every corner and in every
doorway. A recent survey of the
university campus brought to light
the fact that there are 1,200,653
lights.
Now you may ask "But how
does this affect me? I'm glad you
asked. Let me elaborate with the
sad tale of a typical Nebraska
coed who might be your own
roommate.
Last Saturday evening at 12:59
A. M. this TNC (Typical Nebraska
Coed abbreviated) was dashing

ment Reckless J. Abandonment,
Jr. when suddenly she emerged
from the companionable darkness
of the street into the bright glare
of the porch. What a blow! Her
blind date who had sounded like
he had been in "Who's Who"
looked like something out of
"What's This?" It was the end
of a beautiful friendship.
In closing I should like to rec

subject of Hhat great story "The
Light That Failed" better known
to some 'of us as "Mazda's In De

to illuminate you. Know watt I

of the "Tall - boy - driving - his-short-girlfriend's-car"
type. In or
der to manipulate the car Uje guy
has to sit far back in the seat and
blockade his right and left vision
with pads of wool or gabardine
depending on the season of the
year.
Barney Oldfield.
There are other types too. The
Barney Oldfield who whips down
the street, crouched behind the
wheel with his nose against the
windshield, very intently watching
the road lest some other driver
should challenge his right of way;
the nervous type who sits stiffly
on the seat of his 1920 model.
chewing gum, smoking like a mad
man and watching in all directions
with a keen ear cocked for the
sound of a falling fender or trans
mission.
The opposite of this type is the
fellow who owns the '47 model.
Lounging in the front seat as if he
were home in his Morris chair, he
is apparently waiting for the little
woman to run in with the good
book to go with his robe, slippers,
pipe and other accessories which
make up the man of distinction.
He is sure that his car is just a
streamlined Sherman tank and
that it can out run, out bump, out
push and mangle beyond recog
nition any car that questions its
rights.
I belong to the final group, that
destestable driver who owns a car
so beat up that a new dent means
nothing, so old that nothing can
add to its years, but yet young
enough that the owner thinks its
only equal is the flying wind.

trations." This is cold logic. Be
cause, we must admit, the other
complicated procedure of going
to an advisor's door a week ahead
of time and signing your name in
a blank space is a mental strain
and physical inconvenience. Too,
the added complications of that
system is distressing. So we see
we have the need which necessi
tates a simplification of this sys
tem. New Alphabet.
The second paragraph delves
further into the process explain
ing specifically the alphabetical ar
rangement for appointment cards.
First, a new alphabet was devised.
The Greeks go from alpha to
omega; the English alphabet from
A to Z. The Powers that Be in
the Registrar's office devised their
own. It goes something like U.
V, W, X, Y, Z, F, G, H. I, J, P,
Q, R, S, T..K, L, M, N. O, A. B,
C, D. This is quite understand
able, though. This process of .reg
istration is new and is simplifid
for student convenience. Accord
ing to surname letter, in relation
to the new alphabet, you go to a
window, knock three, times, ask
for Joe, slip him an ident card,
and receive an appointment card
with your advisor. My appoint
ment is for May 15. No other
record is kept of it; that only
leaves me a month and a half in
which to lose it.
The cards themselves come in
three refreshing colors: salmon,
white and pink for seniors, jun
iors and all others respectively..
If the instructor is color blind, a
second semester freshman can be
graduated in no time ai all.
No Long Trips.
From there, the simplified re
form 'goes on to explain the sim
plified steps in the simplified
process. No more must you take
the long trip to your advisor's of
fice twice in a short span of
weeks. Now. you merely get a card
at Love Memorial library, make an
appointment with your advisor to
make1 an appointment, make the
appointment . you made the ap
pointment to make so you can reg
ister, then to the office of Dean
Oldfather for his signature, and
finally to the assignment office
for arrangement. But, here is the
dark spot: The same old compli
cated drop and add system will
be maintained.
The concluding paragraph of
exploration mentions the fact that
the graduate students will not be
required to make appointments.

After all our talk about spring
suits and dresses, it seems to be
time for us to get in some infor
mation about accessories that may
be worn with the new ensembles.
Gloves like coats and dresses
are getting 1-o-n-g-e-r. From the
sample collection sent from Paris
on March 15 comes color variety
in autumn leaf colors. There are
many long gloves elbow length
or above, that show decorative
work. In some examples, thumb
sections continue to the edge of
the glove sometimes in contras
ting color.
Swiss eyelet, perfect for sum
mer dance frock displays, can be
had in a casual slip-on whose
cuffs may be flipped up or down
in a mitt version. Pique may be
used in this style, too.
Accent a six-button glace with
a generous rippled suede capelet
cuff that is soft in drape as its
companion coat detail.
Belts
Narrow belts are beginning to
rival wide ones in popularity. Al
most all the spring styles are
classic and gilt trimmed saddle
leather belts In assorted colors.
Most of them have self-covered
buckles and range from W to 4"
in width.
In low price range for the ave
rage college coed there are plas-i
tic belts, which resemble kid.
These have gold metal buckles.

Bags
Handbags are following the new
silhouette found in suits and
dresses by emphasizing elongated
lines. Younger customers are still
going all out for the v leather
shoulder strap bags that may be
worn easily with suits. The ma
jority of these are made from all
American leather polished calf
skin. .Navy is leading the trend in
colors in almost any type bag,
although the red that has always
been popular with suits is still
prominent. Navy in the use of
suits has been replaced by a
lighter blue, however, and this
fact explains the market for red.
Alligator is going to be seen a
lot this spring in navy, red or
brown. This is due to the in
creased number of fine quality
and smartly styled domestic bags
on the market. Shoes to match
the bags will decrease in price to
add to the popularity.
Back in the fashion picture are
the underarm and smaller bags
especially the top-handled tailored
types with curved contours or
satchel effects.
