cently, if anything: can he deduced from an examination of the
list of couples who will take part in the big parade. Statements
made by the girls indicate that gowns worn that nighl will be
in every color of the rainbow, witli black and red the most popu
lar hues. It'll be a sight worth seeing to watch the grand
inarch Fridav night, even if all of you can't be in if.
AND AS FOR corsages, accord-i
ins to Lincoln florists, gardenias,
red and white roses, and sweet
peas are the most popular choice
of flowers. Gardenias go particu
larly well with jet black and red
powns, while roses and sweet peas
grace white dresses the best.
Shoulder and wrist corsages are
most popular

America's favorite SHORT CUT,
LONG DISTANCE
Miles shrink when you turn to Long Distance
telephone service. You can get "there and back"
in record time.
Improvements are constantly fitting the service
more and more closely to the public's needs. Faster
connections, higher quality transmission, "bargain
hours" after 8:30 P. M.
Business today finds Long Distance a reliable
and economical short cut to sales. You'll find it a
pleasant short cut back home.

THE FIRST REHEARSAL OF llu- high
spot ill I lie id ii i t a i v ball, the gruiid iniircli,
in the coliseum I;is1 night was quite an
event in uiure ways than one. Of course
the variety of attires and the lack of uni
forms did not give the practice the color
being honored hi a 6:30 dinner to

by the alumnae. About thirty-five

anticipate the use of trained field
workers, and that county public
relief will tend to follow the stand
ards for training set by the federal
government.
Must Find Better Workers.
"Our problem today is to find
better social workers," says Dr.
Williams. "Investigations as they
are now carried on are, for the
moat part, superficial. There is
no program of treatment, and the
help given is an opiate, rather than
a cure. County and private boards,
too often, look for hard-hearted, or
soft-hearted workers, instead of
seeking those who are understand
ing. Out of such confusion and
ineffectual treatment, chronic
cases cannot help but develop."
Because of these things, training
for social work, as it is given at
the university, aims at teaching
the students to make a social diag
nosis of each case. They are
taught to find what the difficulty
is, what the chances for recovery
are, and to follow out the course
of social treatment decided upon.
One of the difficulties in carrying
on the instruction is the demand
by universities and professional
schools for class A social agencies
in which to do field work. One
standard family welfare agency, at
least, must be available within the
community.
Special cases of various types
are provided for the senior majors
at the university thru the Lincoln
social welfare society, which is a
private family agency of standard
grade. People who are in need or
in trouble are interviewed by the
student and perhaps by the in
structor.
The problems presented range
from child training to wbts and
property troubles. Usually the
matters are very serious before the
family has applied to the agency.
As examples of cases that appear:
A man, head o fthe family is very
ill, and his wife and children are
without food or money. Perhaps
there is no furniture or bedding in
the house. Another family fears
being without a home because
rent is long overdue. It may be
that the income is large enough,
but is wrongly budgeted, so that
help is needed in doing that.
Workers on such cases plan with
the person, and try to help from
the available resources. It may
mean finding means of paying the
rent: it may mean bringing an
angry husband or wife back to the
home: it may mean bringing in a
doctor; a nurse, or an employer to
offer a job. After seeing what the
persons can do to help themselves,
the students and Instructor go
over the case, trying to arrive at
the right solution.
Always such work requires tact,
and a lot of lain common sense
and judgment. Without permitting
the troubled families to lose their
ideals and self respect, it is neces
sary that the workers attempt to
help them work out of the difficul
ties for themselves.
"Most encouraging among the
traits of human beings." said Miss
Powell, who conducts the field
work, "is that they have such mar
velous resistance to trouble and
hardship. Whatever we do is near
ly always gratefully received, and
apparently it takes a lot to keep
men from coming back with fight.
Human nature can meet bad condi
tions and is slow to crack. We
only hope that aid can be given I
to all needv persons in time, so
that they may not lose their spirit
and hope."
