PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Monday, March '5, 1951' inlflgEn Sen m tV.ciirs Girls from 13 high schools In District 1 of the Nebraska Edu cational association participated in a "Play-day" Saturday, March S, sponsored by the Junior and senior physical education ma jors. Each school was represented by three or mora girls with an enrollment of 90 or over in the 15 county area of the district. The object of the "Play-day" was to provide an opportunity for high school girls in the sur rounding communities to be come acquainted through playing together and to arouse the inter est of the participants in the "Play-day" form of competition. in tne nope that eacn group would take ideas back for fu ture play days between schools in their own counties. "Meet Tour Neig hbor The theme of the "Play-day" was "Meet Your Neighbor." The girls were divided into teams as they registered. Team names were given such as "Pleased to Meet Ya," "Nice You Came," "Howdy Do," and so on. Each team had iP.E. major hostess. Activity started at 9:30 a. m. when the girls registered. From 10:15 to 11:45 a. m., the girls played deck tennis, duck pins, shuffleboard, table tennis, and volley ball. At 12 p. m., they were served lunch in Grant Me morial. From there, they were uicen to the Coliseum swimming pool for a free swim period. Musical mixers were presented at 2 p, m. when the girls did polkas, two-steps, and schott isches. Pin ant Awards Awards and farewells were given at 3 p. m. The winning teams hit at a Pinanta, a bag of candy suspended from the bas ketball rings. This is a take-off on a game played In South America. The bag is made of hard paper and glue and a girl is given a stick,, is blindfolded, and then she tries to hit it Committees in charge of the play day were: co-ordinator, iris Mee Coed Attitudes r'y!?T7y ...I-...!..-.

NU Males Attempt 'nimptessive Lines Don't you believe itl "What?" asks the little fresh man coed, very innocently. Let me go further. Do you ever wonder why the boyfriend, who boasts of 96's and 98's in a chem course draws a three after the smoke of the battle finally clears away? Indeed, it's a mystery when some lad in history can discuss at great length any battle listed in the history book, and can come through with a lovely two. Sounds suspicious? Indeed it does! Here are a few facts to add more confusion: There is always the fellow who, in his modest half-conceited manner tells the truth about his high grades but in the process describes the minute amount of effort he ex erted to attain them. At that moment the little coed squeals, "Oh, you marvelous crea ture!" Attempts to Impress The solution finally comes to light This credulous female is the victim of some wolfish at tempt to impress. Impression, however, is not the only method in the madness of that well-known lupine species. Lines, or "bill of goods," as they are sometimes labeled, are at times instrumental in the process of "feeling out" the companion. That is, to see exactly how much of the indigestible stuff he or she can consume without turning green. Another school of thought holds that the trick is, at times, a subtle attempt at humor behind the back of the unsuspecting victim. 'Food for Conversation' But then, the little lady is sometimes caught up when she becomes a little wary of the story in question and finds out later that the supposedly "food for conversation" was actually true. Just the same, there are some unsuspecting females that fall for the "prominent person" line. The "my father broke John Pesek's ankle" and "I am a 33rd cousin of Franklin D. Roosevelt" type rank high in this classification. Then too, there's the "my hero" rendition. The "I killed six lions and 25 elephants while on a jun gle hunt" and "I hypnotized 25 people all at once" phrases num ber among its variations. 'All That Glitters' Remember, "all that glitters is not gold" it might be mica when that boyfriend starts talk ing about getting a new Cadillac every week because he is such a reckless driver. This "just for you" sort of person who showers his current flame with extrava gant gifts at the slightest provo cation is one to be watched. Who knows? He may be the very one who would shower an instruc tors assistant with lettuce leaves in order to get access to a final examination, too. Is he made of solid stuff or is he 10 carat plated on the outside? At this point, the "local yokel" who tries to impress his girl friend that he's the "big city boy " type enters upon the scene. It is he who tells of the grandi ose skyscrapers in New York, the mysteries of the Grand Canyon or the expansiveness of the Golden Gate bridge. Observe carefully! If the real truth were known, he has probably never been there himself. Better say, he only knows "what the big boys tell him." Concern to Cite Efficient 'Middies' Two annual efficiency awards for senior students in the Uni versity naval reserve officers' training corps have been created by the Elgin National Watch company. The announcement was made by E. G. Jurs, man ager of Elgin's Lincoln plant. Special service wrist watches will be presented to the mid shipman considered outstanding in naval leadership, and to the midshipman considered to dis play the greatest aptitude for the naval service. Capt. T. A. Donovan, USN, professor of naval science at the University, said the watches will be among several awards an nounced at a dress parade just prior to commencement this spring. in their College shop This company is making a sur vey of the attitude of the coeds of the colleges all over the coun try. Nebraska is one of the schools in the midwest Included in the survey. The information requested in cluded questions about the amount of clothes a college girl should own and the types of clothes that she needs. Other questions were: What ac tivities are you in? Is there a boys' school near your college? Does your college have sororities and fraternities? may bo looking in the wrong place. The arrangement of periodical magazines in the library seems to confuse some students, making an explanation desirable. Here is how it is done. The University library operates on the divisional plan. All mate rial is arranged by general sub ject divisions. Four Divisions The four large divisions are housed in separate reading rooms; humanities, social studies, educa tion, and science and technology. macy. In social studies and edu cation rooms periodicals are ar ranged alphabetically with no distinction. Bound volumes of periodicals are arranged alphabetically ex H cience and technology room. Librarians wno are spe cialists in these fields assist stu dents in each division. Particular attention has been paid to the arrangement of the elusive periodicals in the read ier rnnms Tha mnct nnnillflr M- riodicals are bound and volumes where they are arranged by fnr the last ten vears are shelved i - y decimal numoer, in the reading room. Less popu lar periodicals have only recent issues on the shelves. The periodi cals most in demand by the grad uate students are kept in the stacks. Periodical Arrangement The arrangement of periodicals varies. In the humanities and sci ence and technology rooms the M odern Art Exhibition IE Knifes arte d By Kenneth Rystrom "Oh, it's just too, too darling lor woras!" "What? That picture?" "Of course, vou can't see it. You're much to close. Come back here Now isn't that sweet?" "Well I wouldn't say that. But it is unusual." Modern art has come to Lin coln. The sixty-first annual exhibi tion of the Nebraska Art associa tion, on display in Morrill hall, includes some of the most modern and most abstract painting and figures ever seen on the Uni-, versity campus. At Friday nieht's Dreview nf the exhibit, open only to Uni versity officials and the Dress.

Laymen's Remarks Somewhere in between these extremes were the miid shock and occasional remarks of The Daily Nebraskan reporter and his companion, an engineering stu dent. Several objects d'art excited the companion to say, "Why, I do that everyday in engineering mech anics except I don't spill the ink." Appreciation of art modern or not must be developed, a mod em authority remarked. If so, the reporter and his friend found their appreciation only slightly developed lor most of the 175 pieces of artwork on display. Classics Represented However several "classical" American and European painters are represented in the exhibition Also included are interesting Dronze ano wood ligures by con temporary artists. The exhibition will be open to the public until April 1 on the Comedy Tryouts To Open Tuesday Tryouts for the one act comedy, Elmer, will be held March 6 to 7, from 3 to 5 p.m. in Room 205 of the Temple build ing.

A special series of talks on con temporary . art will be held on Sunday afternoons and panel dis cussions will be' conducted on Tuesday evenings. Art authorities from Nebraska, Illinois, and Mas sachusetts will be featured on the programs. Names Intriguing .The reporter found special in terest in names of some of the pictures on display. Titles range from "Thighbone on Black-' and "Someone" to "Blue and Red Head" and "Homage to the Square." While the subjects of some of the pictures may not be recog nized, the artists have made up for it by the varied use of fa miliar colors and without reser vation! One painting consists entirely of odd Chinese-red lines on can vas (it can be hung in any posi tion), wnne another is an orderly arrangement of red, black, and cream blotches. Quite impressing 10 me art novice at least the reporter and the engineer! Still other pictures are skillful blends of blue and purple or gray ana green, in tact, one Is entitled "Black Blend" and another "Red ureen Black." The public card cHtalog Indi cates the location of all current and bound issues of periodicals. Each reading room has a similar card catalog and the loan desk file contains the same informa tion. Binding Necessary Perhaps you have searched long and diligently for a periodical only to have a smiling librarian come up with, "It's at the bind ery." This is annoying, but un avoidable. Elimination of . the binding of periodicals would lower the quality of service. Periodicals are sent to the bindery each week. Materials in special demand are rushed through, but rush orders are much more costly. All binding is done as rapidly as the budget will allow. If all explanations fail to jid you in finding what you want, ask for help. The watchward of the library is "service." Frnakforter to Speak On Explosives, Muscles Colonel Clarence J. Frankfor- ter, associate professor of chem istry, will give a talk on "Ex plosives and Muscles" at 8 p.m. Tuesday evening in Avery hall. Members of the Red Guidon society and ROTC are urged to attend. The general Public is also welcome to come. 6YV to Present Talent Night, 'Gulliver Film The Ag YM and YW and th city campus YM will both provide entertainment this week. The Ag organisations will sponsor the annual talent night Tuesday, March 6 at 8 p.m, in the Ag Union, loung. The city campus YM will sponsor "The New Gulliver' film March 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. in Love auditorium. Charles Kemp, executive sec retary of the campus YM, will appear on the program. There will also be a band, tap dancing. a quartet, solos and readings. The other acts are being kept secret according to Barbara Crowe and Steve Eberhart, co-chairmen of the event. "The New Gulliver" is the next in a foreign films series sponsored by the University YM and is a Russian language film with English sub titles. "The movies contains what M probably the most extraordinary cast ever seen in cinema; 3000 puppets, creased by tiny grins, twisted by picayune emotions of fear, alarm and love. They wig gle, grimace and frown in a ter rifying parody that would doubt less have delighted Jonathon Swift," says Time magazine. The Literary Digest declared, "None of the satire is lost in t.h translation to puppetry and the inclusion of modern mechanical devices." Admission tickets nriced at 5ft cents will be hold at the door. Coeds' Opinion On AWS Point System Varied "It stinks," "It's tremendous" were two of the answers given by Nebraska coeds when asked what they thought of the A.W.S. point system. "The idea is good but when A.W.S. makes up the point sys tem they should consider the work an office requires as well as the office," a Teacher college junior said. Many offices are pointed the same but the amount f time varies greatly," she added. A sophomore in arts and sci ences said that she thinks the point system is a good idea but the number of points one girl may have is too low. "If they would just raise the number to 22 or 24 a girl could be president of one organization and still hold an office in another 'activity," sha added.
