THE DAILY NEBRASKAN

A COMMUNICATION.
Donr Editor:
In glancing dver u copy of the Ne
braskan the other day I noticed an
article on tho senior play In which It
was stated, the gist of tho article, that
all men who Intend to view tho per
formance from tho lower lloor and
boxes must come attired In full dreBB.
To say that this Idea Ib an Innova
tion is putting it mildly. To one thor
oughly vorsed In facta concerning
students' wardrobes this Innovation
will work a moBt decided hardship,
as about one out of twenty is tho
proud iKJBBesBor of tho classical spike
tailed coat. Tho consequence of this
nwful but nevertheless truthful state
of uffalrB Is that tho participant In
formal affairs must borrow, buy, steal
or lonso "a suit. .Most of these leased
clothes are somewhat antiquated In '
texture and design and a lit is not
guaranteed. A largo per cent of tho '
gnrmentB contain a subtle, but at the
Hiunu time distinct, aroma of moth
balls which in the words of the poet,
"though you shake and you bruBh and
you dust as you will, the scent of the
moth-ball will cling to them still." At
the theater whore tho ventilation. In tho
gallery Is not of the boBt, tho rnrifled
air from bo many moth proof gar
ments might result In the untimely
tlemiBc of some of tho "gods" who fro
quont thlB quarter of tho house
But bo that as It may, tho action
of the committee In making this a for
mal affair smacks of a combination
with the clothing men of the city to
force these clothes upon an unsus
pecting public. For this reason and
because I am ono of tho aforesaid
patrons of tho gallery and prefer to
ftrcathe tho sweet air of liberty, which
is Impossible in nn atmosphere of bor
rowecKclothes,' I tako this stand.
But to pasB to another feature of
the subject. It Is cruelty of tho worst
sort to Inflict torturo upon tho lnno
cenL To compel tho seniors to sit for
two and onq-hnlNiours and gaze at the
stage, head orect,v pver a high collar
and a Btlft shirt front, seems to tho
writer to be punishment worthy of
tho Inquisition. ThlB, however, is only
tho physical sldo. To sit nnd endeavor
to follow tho lines nnd at tho same
lime try and forget that you are sit
ting on tho tails of your coat will
caiiBo many who came for a good time
to mlBs tho plensuro entirely.
Clothes Ate Often Very
iMUCH LIKE APPLES
Good Looking Apples Are Often Bad In Side
The nice rosy tint on the outside of the apple may hide a very bad inside.
Clothes to be Good Must be Good Inside and Out; a Nice Looking Fabric
