Kappa Pledges at Nebraska U.
Have Athletic Ability
By BURT F. NEWTON
Kappa Pledges at University of
Nebraska possess athletic ability.
Recent initiates into the Scrol
ler club of Kappa Alpha Psi’s Eta
Chapter at the University of Ne
braska include four men who
promise to achieve by their ath
letic ability fame for themselves
and the fraternity during their col
lege careers. %
One of the Scrollers will be
come the first Negro to earn a
varsity letter at the University
of Nebraska in more than three
decades. Clinton Ross, outstand
ing Cornhusker elevens of 1913
1914, was the last Negro to earn
a varsity letter. Ross, inciden
tally, was also a member of Kappa
Alpha Psi. He became a charter
member of Eta when the chapter
was established on the Nebraska
campus in 1916. Roes 1a now an
attorney in California.
The four new Kappa pledges
and their athletic fields are as
follows:
Charles Bryant, sophomore from
Omaha, was a member of the cur
rent Nebraska football squad. Bry
ant lacked only 15 minutes of
lettering this past season as he
became an important member o^
the squad in the last four Corn
husker games. In order to letter
a player had to have 75 minutes
playing time.
A back injury kept Bryant
from making the trip to Okla
homa and possibly robbed him of
lettering time. Bryant had made
all the other trips and had play
ing time in all the other games.
Just under six feet and weighing
185, Bryant was the fastest line
man on the Husker squad.
An All-State guard selection!
from Omaha South High in 1950,
Bryant came to Nebraska and
played freshmen football without
the aid usually given athletes.
However, he was given an athletic
scholarship this year and is ex
pected to be a regular guard on
the 1953 eleven.
Robert Fairehlld, president of
the Scroller club and sopjromore
from Omaha, is the fastest sprin
ter on the Nebraska campus. Fair
child saw action last spring with
the track team and won the 60
yard dash in two indoor meets.
Freshmen were allowed to com
pete in the Big Seven last year.
In an indoor meet against Kan
sas State, Bob was running even
with Thane Baker—member of
Olympic team and Big Seven
sprint champion — when he suf
fered a leg injury that kept him
out of competition for the re
mainder of the season. Bob had
not scored enough points to earn
his letter. However, Fairchild
still has the chance to become the
first Negro to letter since Clin
ton Ross. He reports that his leg
is in “great shape” as he works
out daily for the coming track
season. Bob was an outstanding
athlete at Omaha Central High
School.
Jon McWilliams, six-feet 175
pounder from Sidney in western
Nebraska, is secretary-treasurer of
the Eta chapter Scroller club. An
All-State halfback in 1951, Jon
starred on the current freshman
team. In a summary of fresh tal
ent, quick and shifty McWilliams
was called: “Best halfback of all.”
Haynes Harrington is a six-feet
five-inch giant from Anderson, In
diana, where he was an out
standing prep school basketball
player. Harrington was sent to
Nebraska by friends of Nebras
ka’s basketball ooach, Harry
Good. Mr. Good coached in In
diana before coming to Nebraska.
Harrington, now laboring with ■
the freshmen basketball squad, is
considered a great prospect.
Having already learned that the!
fundamental purpose of Kappa Al- |
pha Psi is achievement, Bryant,!
Fairchild, McWilliams, and Har
rington have gone far in accom
plishing the aims and 'purposes of
| the fraternity.
MIAMI — Quarterback A 1 k i n
“Mr. Cool” Hepburn scored the'
first touchdown of the 19511
Orange Blossom classic when he
“sneaked” through the North
Carolina Eagles forward wall 4:34
of the initial quarter.

Fahsion Will Be
A White Christmas
Seems that it will definitely be
a white Christmas this year. At
least that is the way it appears
from the fashion point of view.
In preparation for the forth
coming holiday season, stores
everywhere are featuring the ever
fashionable white ball gowns.
White has always had a special
type of appeal for evening wear,
and this year more than ever,
that perennial favorite is seen in
profusion.
The very boufant ball gowns,
in traditional fabrics such as ny
lon net and tulle are in the ma
jority, but a very impressive
number of very slim stihouettes
are in evening wear. This latter
no doubt was inspired by the ad
vent of the “Siren Look," but
when seen in white and some of
the other colors not generally
assocated with so sophisticated a
silhouette, the effect is wonderful.
There is indication that there will
be great acceptance of this new
narrow line.
Further attesting to the pop-!
ularity of white is the recently
revived interest in little white
furs—mink and fox—worn with
gala full length gowns which
promise to contribute glamorously
to the holiday festivities.
The white furs appearing on the
fashion horizon are in reality only
touches of fur—a wonderful thing
that is too, for anything larger
than a muff in the new glamour
white furs is absolutely prohibi
tive as far as the average pocket
jbook is concerned. But the little
1 ;carfs, stoles, muffs and brief
jackets certainly add a touch of
Elegance and drama to the na
tion’s fashion picture.
The millinery industry will be
.making its contribution to the
white holiday season. Already the
little white hat can be seen in
j millinery departments throughout

Toasted Corn Bread Tops
Chicken a la King Taste
Just how the name “King” came
to be associated with this popular
! luncheon, dinner or supper dish is
a matter that usually brings forth
a little discussion.
Some claim that Chicken a la
King was named for a Philadelphia
restaurant owner who dreamed up
the dish late one evening, years
ago, when his supply of chicken was
low and a late-evening crowd or
dered chicken. Others believe it
was so named because it is fare
fit for a king.
Whatever its rightful origin may
be, you can’t beat Chicken or
Turkey a la King for goodness when
it is served on toasted corn bread.
Corn bread possesses a rich flavor
that’s naturally sociable with the
tasty creamed chicken or turkey.
A strong point in favor of this com
bination is that the toasted corn
bread will not go limp when it’s
covered with the hot mixture.
Toasted corn bread makes the
perfect base for the King method
of using the strippings taken from
the left over carcass of a holiday
bird, whether it’s turkey or
chicken.
