Seven Ages
Qf Fashions.
; the purpose of this being to elaborate
; the:various and sundry stages through
; which we have been guided, since the cre
; ation of this plot of ground, by the hand
of fashion. The travelogue divides itself
; naturally and conveniently into seven
agesyag follows:
PRE -HISTORIC
' Fig leaves. Adam and Eve. Offspring. Snap
py models in leopard skins and tiger 6tripes.
.Nifty sports outfits, consisting of breechclouts
and large, knobby clubs. Later on, bow and
arrow ensembles were introduced with great
effect. And, as always, the bargain hunters,
getting stnng on Poison Iw evening wraps.
HISTORIC .
Cleo begins making history, etc., etc., in
Egypt Caesar looks to his laurels. Much
nightlife. Nightgowns worn all day loug.
Beginnings of modern trend are found in
this period. Caesar was killed because he was
ambitious. This fact greatly affecting modern
college activities, inasmuch as every true col
lege boy now avoids ambition as he does work
itseir.
AGE OF Tiff
ojf in un pams, me nest or wnieh were
equipped with water cooling devices, which
kept the dear lads from being burned alive in
hot weather, when the sun shone down with
over-vigorous rays upon the metal.
Girls, too frail to support a tin ensemble, re
sorted, as in the previous age, to wearing night
gowns Dy aay as wen as Py night.
AGE OF BRASS
Sextants, explorers outfits, trimmed in brass
gadgets and buttons; brass jewels pawned to
enuDie discovery or America,, land of more
"brass" per capita than any other country in
iue woria.
ieraale styles for this age included brass
bracelets, brass watch charms, and huee brass
combs worn in the hair to poke out the eves of
nny over-brassy young gentleman.
AGE Or IRON
! Iron dogs, iron deer, and iron lions standing
i i-x : , , .
aucuuun ju iron lencea iront lawns; iron
cuplds in iron fountains; ladies with iron cor
sets and gents with iron bats watching the first
iron horse in the country travel slowly over
the first set of iron rails,
; Iron clad code of social conduct; iron safes
opened with iron jimmies, the owners of which
were promptly put behind iron bars. No coun
terpart of this last process iu our present age.
Age of alloys
! Straw hulu skirts, tin pan alley blues and
jazz, long dresses, short dresses, overseas caps,
officers' uniforms, civilian sports ensembles,
horsey iron lids for polo players, boots, rub
ber and leather, tin hats for sehrapiiel protec
tion, gilt lined bull rooms. Mixed up, post-war
world. A little of everything. Wealth and pov
erty, champaigno and beer, cheese and pretzels.
AGE OF GOLD
The modern age, in which a gold daddy is
taken for u ride by a gold digging daughter of
tjie follies. Gold lined pocket booka disappear
iih if by magic while golden haired, golden
skinned daughter goes to college. Sensible,
healthy styles for women, outlandish clothes
for men. Ooldeu girls and golden bronze men
iu goldeu swimming not '-bathing" suits,
Jiving iu a golden age in a golden state of the
golden west.
Golden wheat und corn providing golden lin
ings in the pockets of tariff protected eastern
manufacturers... Golden inngued politicians
insuring the continuance of the process.

most not over a fifth of that sum. At best,

from the pool to pay its own way.
If the administration sees fit to approve the
project, and make this promise with no dan
ger of losing money involved at all then
bonds for the project may be sold. Xo secur
ity except the word of university regents and
administration, but that will be sufficient.
There is no reason in the world why the ad
ministration should fear to make this promise.
They can lose at best not over a thousand do.
lars a year. In all probability, they will not
lose a cent. And a thousand dollars of univer
sity funds per year is little enough to pay for
an up-to-date, adequate, swimming pool open
to men's and women's classes.
Congratulations to our Mr. Vogeler and to
our Mr, Selleck!
And also to Miss Lee, and the women's ath
letic department.
Tomorrow, we hope to be able to congratu
late Chancellor Burnett and the administra
tion for their favorable action on the proposal !

Congratulation
For Innocents, Too!
While we're giving everyone a round of hear
ty applause, we may as well include the Inno
cents. They are getting a bit of their annual
round of publicity. That's something.
e do wish, though, that they would get a
committee properly instituted to handle the
union building drive. They know how to go
at it. They know what its membership should
include. They know what an urgent need there
is for an organization to handle the campaign
in its entirety. They know what to do, and
tbev know it should be done "0W!
They are not doing it.

We're glad spring has come at last. Now
we won't need those coat hooks which we have
demanded in one fashion or another so many
times. Seriously, though, we would like 'cm

MORNING MAIL
Technically Innocent.
TO THE EDITOR :
Allah be praised! At last the editor of the
University of Xcbraska's worthv sheet has
come to life and proclaimed that that most
high and omnipotent body of selected ( ?) sen
ior men are onlv one-half alive. What hn rinm.
editor, why be so lenient?
Certain members of the Innocents society
have made it quite clear to students in general
on the campus that a "hands off" policy would
be greatly appreciated. According to' oue of
the worthy members of this so-called honorary
organization the Innocents are coinc to hniiH
the Student Union buildinar through the PTIIPP
of God and Ray Ramsay.
let, as the editor pointed out vestprrlav
what have they done? They have, admitted iv
attempted to organize the two senior division
classes and had a nice serenade for the sorority
gal6, may their souls rest in peace.
rome six weeks ago faction leaders called
a meeting of all fraternity men and barb men
to discuss the student union project. At that
time the faction leaders pledged their support
uwu mm- unuring enoris to tne program. Hut
what have their efforts availed them? Nothing.
How alwut this committee of faculty and
students that was supposed to be appointed a
month ago? How about these architectural
drawings that were to be circulated during the
spring months?
Does the Innocents society realize that the
time for the students to put their best foot for-
"J me mt uresis oi -ne stunent union
building is while they are home during spring
vacation and during the summer months? Wnv
wait until football season next year, as is now
the present plan.
The Daily Nebraskan said yesterday that the
Innocents are technically in cbarce of the
drive. Technically is no word for it. Techni
cians, according to Noah Webster, are those
who are experts in their line. If the Innu-
ents are expert in conducting a student union '
drive the majority of students will prefer an
untrained, uneducated, illiterate moron rather
than these so called 'technical experts.'
"liiessed is be who walketh in the shadow of
he innocents for be shall indulge in no con
structive labor."
VEND IS.
Innocents in for some healthy ragging in the
Morning Mail column. Well, the sins of the
fathers, etc., for seven generations, etc., seems
T.0 be working well. And present membership's
predecessors certainly did run the honorary
into the ground.
Congratulations
To Our Mr. Vogeler.
Swimming pools are splendid things to have
around, especially in n university. We are
about to obtain one of them. A good-sized
one, o5 by 75 feet. And room for spectators,
too. The pool, to be open to both men and
women, will be constructed in the coliseum
basement.
', Tiled walls, special plasters, high and low
diving boards, with ample ceiling clearance,
pd dressing rooms for women, separated from
tbf-J'est of the building, are a few of the fea
ture, of the contemplated project. Total cost,
approximately $33,000.
Estimated yearly income, nearly $(1,000.00.
On .this basis, the university can afford to
suarantee f5,000.000 per year to be used for
the poo!. It will cover upkeep aud retirement j
Oscar For Oswald.
To the Editor: . .
Oswald becomes wrought uu about the oossi-
lilities of light oiK-ra in our ereut universit r.
We feel jolted into exttressiiiE our anroval of
ukwhiuh lire, especially so smre he seems dis
posed to be up and doing something about it,
having already gone to the extraordinary
lengths of finding out from authority what
would be necessary to include a new course in
the marvelous curriculum.
It is reported , however, that said authorita
tive faculty member, as is the time honored
custom of faculty members, dashed chilling
aqua upon the scheme, emphasizing the red
tape necessary for instituting such a project.
Now It seems to us that inasmuch as our
great city of Lincoln is admittedly a cultural
center of all that is righteous, some enterpris
ing villager might be found to expend a little
effort ou light opera production without dis
turbing the ponderous equilibrium of the fac
ulty. But maybe Victor Herbert, and Rudolph
Friml are not to be considered righteous.
Whatever, the course adopted, such an en
terprise would require student support, and
we think that if the great mass of those who
make up the student body of the university
could be persuaded that light opera is what
the name implies, and not highbrow "cultured"
music, then the battle would be won. So let's
talk it up, ye admirers of Herbert and Friml.
On to light operadom and the best music thin
age has produced.
