AGAIN A , WEIGHTY PROBLEM
faces the male population of the
campus to buy or not to buy corsages.
In past years there have been splurges
and lapses in this long standing, practice.
Gardenias were quite evident at the large
parties last year, and oii very important
occasions f.onie lucky girls were the proud
possessors of orchids. If you know any
thing at all about sorority houses, you
will know that there is never anyone in
them as excited or as proud as the girl
who receives a box from a florist, just
before a formal party. From all we can figure out, with the
Military Ball, the Sigma Nu Pi dinner and the Sigma Alpha Mil
formal all in the same weekend, many coeds will again be wear
ing corsages.
TONIGHT has been set a-side as
a closed night so nothing will con
flict with the Military ball which
will start at 8:30 o'clock in the
coliseum. Extensive plans includ
ing formal dinners have been ar
ranged by some groups on the
campus. Anyway, everyone will
be at the ball, the presentation of
the Honorary Colonel will be a
surprise worth looking forward to,
and a good time will be had by all.
,
ABOUT 300 invitations have
been issued to the Sigma Alpha
Mu formal which is the first fra
ternity party of its kind to take
place this year. The affair is be
ing given in the Cornhusker hotel
ball room Saturday evening at 9
o'clock with the Beck-Jungbluth
orchestra furnishing the music.
The committee in charge which is
composed of Jerry Cohn, Irving
Hill, and William Flax has invited
Prof, and Mrs. Karl M. Ardnt,
Prof, and Mrs. James Melvin Rein
hardt, and Maj. John P. Horan to
chaperon.
WITH MUCH POMP and cere
mony, a pig roasted whole with all
its special trimminga will be dedicated-
at the annual Sigma Nu
pig dinner Saturday night at the
Lincoln hotel fit 7 o'clock. There
will be favors for the seventy girls
who will be present and dancing
during and after the banquet.
Special guests will be Arthur Dob
son, a Lincoln alumni, and Lloyd
Corp, the newly appointed chapter
advisor. Those who will chaperon
are Mrs. O. J. Fee, the house
mother. Dean and Mrs. J. E. Le-
Rossignol, and Geoige H. Turner. I
"t
CHI PHI actives will be guests
of honor when the pledge class en

be decorated in the colors of the
pledge class which are red and

ments for the affair have been
made by Gordon Uhri.

Now that the deep snows of win
ter are swirling over and In Me
mortal stadium, the football men
have hung up their nice silk out
fits, and the long faces are thaw
ing out somewhat, Nebraska uni
versity focuses its attention on the
coliseum, where, nightly, a group
of some twenty men and a doughty
coach spend their energy in the
attempt to turn out a winning
basketball quintet.
It's on the ticket that the Scar
let and Cream, for so long a door
mat in basketball circles, but re
cently rising under the tutelage of
Coach Harold W. Browne, Is due
for the biggest year it has had for
a decade. There are still the grey
bearded, wizened old prophets who
stick to their unproved theory that
"Nebraska never did have and
never will have a really good bas
ketball team," but they have given
way, in 1934, to a consideration by
the fan authorities of what Ne
braska is going to do to some of
those teams. "We're not dead yet
over here at Nebraska U. No
sireee. We've just been waitiu
for the chance, and now's our
chance."
It does seem that the Huskers
are going someplace in basketball
this year. There s a slew of re
turning veterans from last year's
quintet that finished fourth in the
conference, and a regiment or
holdovers and new men who are
threatening the regulars. There's
no such thing as a cinch job on
Nebraska's 1934-35 maple ma
chine. Speed and accuracy in sev
eral men come up from last year's
freshmen and hot-foot flash work
by ex-B team men has given lots
of competition to varsity men wno
would hold down their iods.
There's not much height to the
newest Browne machine. Exclud
ing, of course, Hardy's 6 foot 5
contribution, junior center Harry
Sorenson. The lanky blue eyea,
blond Swede is one of the four
lettermen returning from the quint
that finished last years season
But outside of him, there's really
not much height to the team.
Whitaker and Hale forwards.
Whitakcr less than 6 feet. Hale
about that. Wahlquist at guard is
slightly over 6 feet. Widman about
the same height. Bud Parsons is
right around the half dozen feet
mark. But there's not the length
in those Huskers that was concen
trated last year in elongated Ice
land CoddIc Kenneth Lunney &
Co.
Lacking this height, which may
or may not be essential to a bas
ketball team, depending on your
point of view, the Scarlet depends
on speed to burn. While the lanky
boys are passing the ball way up
in the air among themselves, some
little lad leaps high to spear one,
then short, precise, accurate
passes. A bounce under aome de
fender's outstretched arm, fast
dribbling around another bigger,
clumsier man, poise, quick aim,
and two points are rung up. That's
the principle upon which the 1935
Huskers are going to found thtir
hopes of bringing a Big Six cham
pionship basket title into their col
lection. Sharpshooters and feeders are
the essentials to such a brand of
basketball. There's Henry Whit
aker, ace forward, and Leland
Hale, a new man. Crack ahots,
both of them, excellent at handling
the ball. Then there's George
Wahlquist. Bud Parsons, and Har
vey Widmaxi in the back court
Each is clever and adept at bring
ing the ball down into scoring posi
tion and flicking it at the right
moment, in the right way. to the
right receiver. When called on,
they can also contribute their
share of points. At center well,
with big Harry Sorenson with us
for two more years and Lester Mc
Donald coming up in the sopho
more ranka, this position is more
than well taken care of. Sorenson
is an excellent pivot man, can con
trol the tip, pass speedily and ac
curately, and has th height and
reach to go way up after shots
which just hit the bangboard and
bring them down in the resounding
swish which means points to the
well trained ear.
Defensively, the Huskers of 1935
are a bunch of fighters, scrappers
for the ball wherever it may be.
And the dogged, fighting manner
gets results.
In their practice games so far,
the frosh have proved rather
tough, but the frosh are exception
al this year. When the varsity
really clicks, they are no math
for the smooth, precise machine
which Coach Browne is building
and which will improve with time.
People Today Want Literature
Like a Good Meal Pleasant,
Not Too Heavy, and Easily
Digested, Says Prof. Fay.

work. Verbs combined in a ehal
owy, obscured form and slipped
like oil over the surface of the
brain.
"What has happened to words
since 1800?" Professor Fay asked.
"They became rich. English and
French became administrative and
imperial languages. They grew as
standardized and as scientific as
posible. When a language has its
boundaries in dictionary terms, it
dies."
"A word is alive as long as it is
not clearly defined, just as people
are intellectually alive as long as
they are open to change. It exists
within us and yet helps to form the
atmosphere around us just as a
tree has its roots in the ground
and spreads into an individual
grandeur in the air."
Mr. Fay feels that our language
for some time has not had its roots
in the soil. "Up to the 17th and
18th centuries everyone thought of
literature as the disciple of the
mind." he declared. "Science bare
ly existed. It was literature which
made you charminjr and gave you
power. Not until after 1800 did the
belief in science really grow. Grad
ually the kingdom of science has
expanded until it has absorbed the
kingdom of literature."
Authors like Shakespeare, Mon
taigne and Rabelais, who lived in
a period when the language was
not so removed from the expres
sions of the peasantry could revivo
and recreate their work with ex
pressions having infinite possibili
ties," Prof. Fay continued. "Byron
and Hugo lived ina catalogued pe
its possibilities. Exceptionally gift
ed, they realized something had to
be done in order to stir people and
they hit upon the idea of using
millions of words explosions of
sound, to cause a blinking of the
eyes and an interest in their ideas.
"It is the same principle as the
grandiose supply of chords which
the organ furnishes at weddings in
order to fill up space and express
the drama of the occasion. Hugo
expressed the general feeling of
the crowd. He expressed the soul of
a multitude because he had no soul
himself."
"The best seller is the nearest
approach to the newspaper and
consequently must be easily under
stood circulated and digested" as
serted Prof. Fay. "Words have
really lost nine-tenths of their pow
er and prose has become more
scientific and poetry more empty."
Reaction against this type ot
writing started in 1872 in France
with three disillusioned poets, ac
cording to Mr. Fay. Rimbaud
sought to recreate living qualities
in words and to build a public for
this new literature in order that it
might retain the sparke of life.
Verlaine tried to elevate literature
thru eloquence, from a musical
point of view giving each syllable
a rhythmic value and many of his
poems sang thru the reader's mind
like a popular tune; Mallarme held
that the science of writing effec
tively was based on the associa
tion of ideas, in putting together
some facts and avoiding others. He
believed, however, that only com
binations of words which give an
esthetic idea are valuable.
The foremost disciples of this
movement, according to Professor
Fay are James Joyce of England
and America's Gertrude Stein.
Doctor Fay regards the working
toward a new literary conscience
ness as a great spiritual move
ment and if it doesn't succeed, he
fears that all language will be
doomed in five or six countries.
The only hope for mental happi
ness he feels, is the steady growth
of a new kind of conscious poetry
of the mind in which in which
words have a singular potence and
permanent elasticity.
