Gamble At Penny
Carpenters, painters, bricklay
ers, paper hangers, artists girls
took- over all kinds of jobs on
Penny Carnival day.
Saturday the Union ballroom
was the scene of hard labor by
girls from 16 campus organiza
tions, all building and outfitting
carnival booths. Each group of
girls hammered, sawed and
painted furiously to outdo the
others. .
The Alpha Xi's displayed
'Harvey" and invited customers
to toss rings over his ears. Those
who succeeded in "ringing" the
huge rabbit received bunny
shaped cookies as their prizes.
Boys who patronized the
"Adelphi Dance Hall" danced
with girls in formals and re
ceived kisses as rewards.
Spin to Win
The Theta booth provided
customers with an element of
chance. A huge wheel containing
pictures of a blonde, a brownette,
a brunette and a redhead deco
rated the front. The customers
were asked to "Spin to Win" and
received candy from whichever
girl they chose.
Television scenes were acted
out by the AOPs with their
huge television set. Customers
viewed the show and then re
ceived balloons and prizes.
The Towne Club medicine
wagon featured the remedies of
old Doc Crow and his enter
t a i n e rs. Patronizers received
medicines designed to cure "any
thing that ails you."
A large pinball machine was
operated by the Alpha Chi's.
Patronizers knocked a ball into
the machine and tried to hit the
heads of pledges which came out
of holes in the machine. Whether
or not a customer hit a head,
causing a bell to ring and a num
ber to light up, he received a
balloon prize.
Hit The Jackpot
The Pi Phi's ran a gambling
casino, inviting customers to
spin a wheel and receive prizes
from the girl toward which the
arrow pointed. Those fortunate
enough to hit the jackpot re
ceived prizes from all of the
girls.
"Try Delta Doughnuts" was
the slogan of the Tri Delt booth.
Girls with doughnuts around
their waists revolved around a
turnstile to represent the baking
operation, while a baker present
ed customers with prizes.
The Alpha Phi booth was
fronted by a replica of the
Carillon Tower. Patronizers
pulled a rope to ring the bells,
peeked through a keyhole and
saw a girl dressed in a belL
Bell-shaped candy was given for
prizes.
"The Thing" in several forms
was displayed by the Kappas.

Thing," customers were permit
ted to choose the box which they
thought contained the mysterious
object. In the boxes were a mer
maid, a picture of the ugliest
man on campus, a draft notice,
final grades and a mummy.
Cigaret Girls
A French lottery was operated
by the Sigma Kappas. Customers
bet on which of three persons
would appear at the doorway. A
cigaret girl from a French cafe,
Mona Lisa from the art gallery
and an artist from an academy
were the three chances.
"A Tunnel of Love" where a
customer could "Meet A Mate"
was sponsored by the Chi O's.
Each patronizer rode in a car and
was greeted inside by a person of
the opposite sex.

Greek Tresses
Crewcuts All
Medusa and the Sirens started
it alL Medusa with the snakes
entwined in her hair set the style
for women in mythological
Greece. The long, flowing tresses
of the Sirens that Ulysses en
countered in his travels wer the
envy of every woman in Rome.
So it was . that even as far
back as ancient Greece and
powerful Rome, hair styles were
a "musf'in feminine society.
In George Washington's day, it
was the powdered up-sweep
hairdo. Then came the swept
back rendition, waved in front
and terminating with a neat knot
at the nape of the neck.
When "grandmother" came
along, it was the vogue of the
time for the young girl to wear
a crown of curls on her forehead
with the sides fashioned into long
curls. These, in turn, were
brought into a bunch at the
back of the neck. A big bow was
often thrown in to add variety
to these corkscrew collections.
The Flapper girl brought with
her the mannish capeaux,
cropped up the back. At that
time, there was, indeed, many a
"little girl with a curl right in
the middle of her forehead."
Pick ford's Innovation
Mary Pickford captured the
hearts of the nation in 1920 when
she invaded the movies with her
long, sausage-like curls. Thus it
was that the femmes throughout
the nation began to train their
tresses with a mere twist of the
index finger.
The Dutch boy bob with the
straight bangs followed, forcing
the girls to cut off the result
of many months of coaxing and
training. To say the least, it
emancipated them from long
hours of twisting and turning.
The "Little Colonel" put a
stop to this laziness in a hurry.
When she made her debut in the
entertainment world, Shirley
Temple appeared with a vari
ation of the Mary Pickford cre
ation. A wave of corkscrews
again swept the nation.
When things died down, the
girls of the late 1930's took on
a conservative air, with hair
short and slightly curled on the
ends.
Pafebr Edition
On the advert of World War
II, the short coiffures were
gradually being exchanged for
the new, long pageboy edition,
a la pompador. Those who
couldn't confine their curly locks
to a .neat under-roll, gave up
and let them fly with the breezes.
With V-J Day and the near
Ing half-way mark of the cen
tury, still another innovation
came to life in the world of hair

Shave Balloon
The DG Barber Shop provided
customers with a chance to dis
play their shaving skill. A dum
my with a balloon head was
placed in a barber chair, and
anyone who could shave the
head without bursting the bal
loon received a prize.
"Sneak a Peek at a Freak" was
the sign posted on the Gamma

looked through knotholes to ob
serve an Indian rubber lady, a
strong lady, the fat woman, the
snake girl and a midget.

fashion. Whether Andre of Paris
or the experts in New York
started it, the mannish crewcut
style again hit the country like
a hurricane. This time, however,
it was even more popular than
when it first made its appearance
in the '20's. Its possibilities were
endless, according to style en
thusiasts. The front could be
waved, it could be converted into
a crown of curls, and the bang
style was still good. Of course,
the reverse side was no worry.
It played the short straight role.
So easy to take care of, they said.
Rumors of Long Hair
Now, however, another rever
sion is rumored. Girls will soon
be "letting down their hair"
again.
Indeed, there is a constant see
saw back and forth between the
long and the short. Maybe it
would be best to give up com
pletely and go back to the
powdered wig.

High
Frequency
By Art Epstien.
It seer ; s to me that in the field
of records, one phase of discs has
been sorely overlooked. Although
single records are in demand the
most, -some of the greatest mu
sical listening
can be heard
on albums.
Almost any
artist of re
nowned fame
has at least
one album of
his own spec
ial style. Lis
tening to al
bums can af
ford to the
music lover
the pleasure
of hearing his favorite artist for
a longer time than the ordinary
span of a single record. With
the invention of the automatic
players, and the new 33 RPM,
that has several records .on one
side, albums are indeed a treas
ure to the person who appre
ciates good music "Longhair"
or "Pop."
Eddie Condon has sometimes
been called "Mr. Jazz." To
prove this, listen to Eddie Con
don and his "jazz a la carte"
men play for you six sides of
records. I'm sure that you will
hear what I mean.
Some of Eddie's side men are
such great jazz immortals as Max
Kaminsky, trumpet; Pee Wee
Russel, clarinet; Lou McGarity,
trombone; Gene Schroeder, pi
ano; Bob Casey, bass, and George
Wettling, drums. These are just
a few of the artists that play for
the album.
Some of the best selections
from "jazz a la carte" are "Rose
Room," "Save Your Sorrow" and
"You Can't Cheat a Cheater."
'
The king of the dance steps,
Arthur Murray, contends that
the difference between dance
music and "good" dance music is
sometimes not so obvious to the
ear. However, it is always ob
vious to the feet.
Music designed for .dancing
awakens the "toe-tapping" urge
that quickly brings even the shy
est dancer to the floor.
Under the advice of Murray,
Capital has recorded some of the
best dance music, with top bands
and orchestras that play for the
dancing public. Whether you are
a Gene Kelly or the proverbial
man with the "two left feet,"
you can enjoy dancing to these
albums that are so arranged for
smooth rhythm of the various
steps.
Music for the tangos is provid
ed by Leo Baxter. Waltz songs
are under the direction of Fran
cis Scott and his orchestra. Sam
bas and rhumbas are given to
Enric Madreguera and Chuy
Reyes, respectively. For top pop
ular music for the fox-trot, you
can hear Ray Anthony and his
crew.
Piano Playhouse has at long
last recorded some of its beauti
ful music. This is the first of
what promises to be many al-

Advances in .crop-use research,
which are giving consumers new
and better products made from
farm-grown raw materials and

are described in the annual re
port of the Bureau of Agricul
tural and Industrial Chemistry
forfiscal year 1950, released to
day by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
Work recently completed by
federal chemurgists is similar to
work being carried on at the
University's chemurgy depart
ment on Ag campus. Chemurgy
departments such as the one at
Nebraska are located in several
of the Mid-west state schools.
Each is working to strengthen
the market demand for agricul

blend of the two great pianists.
Never before has a piano duo
worked together so "well.""'With

Cooperation
With Teachers
Colleges Seen
The University and the four
Nebraska state teachers colleges
announced Friday a cooperative
program to give Nebraska's pub
lic school teachers greater op
portunity for advanced training.
The program has been ap
proved by both the Board of
Regents for the University and
the Board of Education of State
Normal Schools for the state
teachers colleges.
It provides for a trial period
of five years for transfer be
tween the four state teachers
colleges and the University of
course credits at the graduate
level.
Under state law, Nebraska
school teachers who Tiold a uni
versity or college degree and a
state teachers certificate must
earn at least nine hours of credit
in advanced courses five years
after graduation to keep their
certificates in force.
Generally, public school teach
ers and administrators have been
obliged to take their advanced
training at summer sessions of
the University since it has been
the only state tax-supported in
stitution offering such courses,
and masters and doctors degrees
which many tachers must have
to win promotions in their school
systems.
Under the new cooperative ar
rangement public school teachers
may now earn up to nine hours
of advanced credit at any of the
state teachers colleges nearest
their homes. These credits will
be accepted by the University
and applied toward requirements
for advanced degrees.
The plan is described as a
"unique experiment in higher
education, designed to utilize
with maximum efficiency the
facilities of the University and
the four state teachers colleges
in behalf of improving the level
of public education in Nebaska."
