University's 'Order Of The Golden Fleece'
Enisled For Twenty Shades 01 Redheads
By KATHY RADAKER
Feature Editor
Attention all redheads!!
The Order of the Golden
Fleece, a club for redheads only,
existed oa the University campus
from the early part of the cen
tury through the 1920's. Eligible
for membership in the club were
those passed by the registration
committee as having tresses with
in the more than 20 officially-accepted
colors.
The hues Included squish,
carrot, pumpkin, orange, brick,
scarlet, flaming, maroon, cop
per, auburn, hena, mahogany,
sorrel, cerise, salmon, shrimp
pink and pink. Barred from
membership along with those
possessing "Inspired brown"
hair were those with lemon, gin
ger or putty shades.
"Bottle lobs" were strictly out,
according to an early article found
in ancient NU annals, but the ar-
tmciai reaneaas were responsible United Air Unes has announced
for the decline of the organization th t expanded service is creating
"u """w","Vhimrtrids nf iob nDoortunities for
having tresses nearest lemon and
brown shades. Judges reportedly
were thoughtfully provided with
smoked glasses before undertak
ing their dazzling task!
Bobby pins were banned at
the contest luncheon and at ap
plication time when it was dis
covered that certain aspirants
had pinned on red wigs. Among
them was Chancellor Avery's
wife who tried to join the select
order in this manner.
Dr. Louise Pound, professor
emeritus and nationally promi
nent literary figure, was one of
the staunchest members, often
serving as mistress of ceremonies
for the group. One of her tributes
to the Order of the Golden Fleece
runs like this:
At midnight when I got to bed
I proudly bow my ruby head
And thank whatever gods there be
They didn't make a blonde of me!
At meetings of the organiza
tion, a typical program included
readings, music and talks extoll
ing the color red or relating :
facts about famous redheads.
Records reveal talks showing
that four-fifths of the heroines '
of popular firtioaf In the 1920's 1
were redheads as were such
heroes as Washington, Lafayette
and Milton.
And speaking of records, one
needn't expect to find any ac
counts of the Order of the Gold
en Fleece in the Cornhusker. For
those Nebraska redheads didn't
take themselves seriously enough
to lay out $25 for a spot in the
yearbook!
