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

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."

The four large divisions are

impressions varied from the
"simply exquisite" sighs of the
esthetics to the disgusted grunts
of the "old time"- art fans.
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.

Admission is 25 cents plus tax.
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

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.

attend. The general Public is
also welcome to come.

The Ag YM and YW and th

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

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.
