THERE'S SPRING IN THE AIR
in spite of tho icy winds which are sw eep
ing t li o campus those days. Tho ground
ling foresaw six weeks more Ji winter but
I he hoys and girls have hopefully ignored
his prediction hy appearing in clotho.
which say " spring very distinctly.
White shoes are beginning to be seen on
the campus and at the parties last week
end, disregarding the snow and rain, the
more venturesome coeds wore spring
formats. Whether to he optimistic and
don the new spring suit or to huddle in
'PAGING THE
SMART COED'
"The blue of her eyes and the
gold of her hair" and so on
but, the point of all this quotation
is merely the last word and I mean
just that. Have you been noticing
the latest coiffures that have been
going around the campus if not,
you must start right away because
you'll almost bet your last dime
that you have never seen anything
like them i;fore and what's more
you reall 'nven't.
This la... week 1 had an inter
view with one of the more promt
nent hairdressers and he gave me
a few hints to pass along. One of
the first things to do is to go to
a mirror and study your face see
exactly what shape it is and then
if it is perfectly round you
should part your hair about one
fourth of an inch from the middle.
in a curve which should be much
lower in the back than in the front.
But if you have a very narrow face
then you may part your hair in the
middle to the best advantage.
Girls fortunate enough to be a
happy medium would look very
charming with an extremely low
part on either side of the head.
If you are small then you prob
ably would like to add some height
by building yourself up and this
can be done very cleverly by put
ting a row of curls right across
the crown of your head. Curls
anywhere add height and even
these chic little clusters plopped
right on the front of your fore
head add height and still make you
appear so small and demure.
The simpler the coiffure, the
smarter it is. If you are going to
have curls put them either in the
front or the back not both. The
very extreme ones that have both
are for formal wear only and
then he says that you can easily
do without them.
Virginia Selleck, Kappa Kappa
Gamma, has one of the best look
ing coiffures that we have ever
seen and its charm lies in the
fact that it is natural, also we
want to Include, on our list of out
standing coiffures, Mary Kimsey,
that petite Alpha Chi Omega, who
was. as you all know, Nebraska's
perfect valentine.
Fashionably Yours,
Alice May.

It was no idle wager that a
Harvard university professor made
when he promised to eat his shirt
if a certain event took place. It
did. And he did. He is a professor
of chemistry, and he disclosed this
week that he had kept his word to
masticate the garment by dis
solving it in acid, neutralizing the
acid with a base, spreading it on
a piece of bread and devouring it.
(What about the buttons?!
Experiments on a large numoer
of subject at the Harvard uni
versity (Cambridge. Mass.) psy

that difficult material is better
assimilated by students by means
of a speaker in the room than by
receiving the same information by
radio.

Fraternity house bills have al

house men are likely to make it
the first point in rushing talks, for
recently a fraternity house bill
rescued a University of Minnesota
pledge from jail.
Early one cold morning a couple
of weeks ago Lloyd Albinson dis
covered a prowler outside the Phi
Kappa Sigma house here. He called
police, but the prowler had dis
appeared. About 2:30 a. m. the same morn
ing a pledge came back to the
house. Finding the front door
locked, he started around to the
back door. As he reached the side
of the house, two burly policemen
appeared, hustled him into a squad
car, and took him to the city jail.
Despite protests, repeated at
tempts at identification and many
requests to look at his pledge pin
the unfortunate pledge was lodged
in a cell in the city jail. When he
awoke at 8 a. m. a final deter
mined search of his pockets
brought out his house bill. This
was presented to the police serg
eant and after questioning, the
pledge was released.
