Student Suggests New
Frosh Class-Cut Course
By a Third Semester Sophomore.
When still a gaping fresh
man in this massive University,
I was asked (hah) to attend a
course entitled "Orientation."
This was a fine course, telling the
frosh all the things they should
know, especially how wonderful
the University of Nebraska is, or
was, or will be, or something.
Now that I am a junior (by se
mesters), I feel that there should
have been an addition in this
course. If the course is to be prac
tical, it should include the art of
class cutting.
In fact this subject is so import
ant to the student's adjustment in
college that there should be a sep-
arate class conducted to inform
them. It could be called Class
Cutting 104, and an advanced
course might be offered entitled
Class Cutting 230.
Attend All Classes?
These courses should be includ
ed in the 100 series, as they are of
major importance to all students
interested in obtaining not only
a degree but a BSA (Bachelor
of Social Arts). After all, one
cannot be expected to attend all
of one's classes. It is not expected
and should not be required. The
University does not care if you
miss a moldy old class once in a
while. However, it is wise to in
ject a bit of advice here and now.
Don't ruin your fine brain powers
by attending your classes more
than twice a week.
What a relief it would be to
most instructors to come to class
and find it gone. I am sure that
they just love to talk to a bunch
of sleepy and incoherent students.
After all one should realize that
drinking cokes before Monday
noon is injurious to the health.
Don't Need Reason.
When one cuts a class, it should
not be for any old reason, as that
would not be in the best tradition
of old NU. No, there should be a
definite reason for missing a
class per day. Perhaps you have
an invitation to enjoy a couple of
tasty beers, root, of course. .
If you get up after a hard night
(regardless of what time) you
have an excellent reason for class
cutting. On a particularly rough
day in which you have, perhaps,
classes from eight to five, then
you are most certainly justified
in cutting all but the one 'oclock.
You should at least attend one
class per day unless you only
have one or two during the day,
then you would be considered a
beaver if you attended these
classes.
Now that winter is coming on,
.you should be able to attend your
classes with greater regularity,
say three out of four on Wed
nesday or one out of two on Tues
day. However, with the arrival of
6pring you canot be expected to
attend any of your Friday and
Saturday classes.
Get Good Excuse.
When one has to cut a class
in which there has been a test or
important papers have been
handed in, then one should de-
velop a good excuse. Student
Health usually issues very good
permits. However .they are very
hard to obtain. You can try a
house mother's excuse, saying
that you were detained in clean
ing or having a bridge game with
the upstairs maid.
Sometimes this is frowned upon,
and no excuise is available. Then
one should stagger into class (not
a drunken stagger, that might be
misunderstood), as if one were
on one's last leg, breathe medicinal
fumes (no alcohol please), in to
the prof's face and tell him a tale
of woe.
Car wrecks are always good,
but they require broken bones,
cuts, and other disheartening
things. During a cold epidemic, a
cold sometimes helps, especially
if you can sneeze in the instruc
tor's face, blow your nose on his
shirt sleeve, and politely say
"Sank u, ah tell praf."
I would like to tell you more,
but I have an appointment with
Dean Thompson's office. Some
thing about too many classes cut
last semester.

The frosh may still be waiting
for the first snow flurries before
stowing away an essential part of
their campus wardrobe, but Ne
braska Coeds require no such sig
nal to know it's time to don their
new swish winter coats. This may
be an annual affair for 2,999 of
NU's 3,000 gals but for Donna
Lauber (from Ala-ba-a-ma)' it's a
unique experience. She and her
first winter coat, a stylish kelly
green with, hood, made their debut
last week at the Kansas State
game.
For campus wear Tish Swan
son's favorite is a navy blue flared
wrap from which a matching navy
plaid lining peeps on windy days.
A stole of the same plaid adds that
real 1949 look.
Jan Bruce is also partial to
stoles and may be seen dashing
to that eleven o'clock in a smart
deep wine gabardine.
Fur Fascinates Ferns
Furs are always favorites for
those special occasions, Mardelle
Buss proves in her luxurious grey
mouton. It has the new "wind
sock, sleeve" gathered snuggly at
the wrists. Back interest is not
forgotten in fur coats either as the
full graceful lines of Sally Sipple's
neutral mouton show.
Gay is the word for Nancy Jen
sen's bright red wool with an
original twisted border effect
along the pockets.
Jane Hale gives her smart look
ing grey tweed a dash of color
with a green scarf nestled under
the collar.
Strictly collegiate is Barb Dunn's
brown plaid shortie with its full
back accenting the lines of the
plaid.
Men Favor Furs, Too
We know that last week was the
men's turn to hold the fashion
spotlight but while on the subject
of winter coats, it's hard to resist
commenting on the creation worn
by Brick Paulson, to the K State
game. At first glance we thought
one of the Bruins hadn't made it
over the Rockies yet but discarded
that idea in favor of the stolen
bear rug theory. It looked warm
though and some gals are contem
plating storing the gay colors in
favor of comfort.
