Difficult, thovch it is for a col
umnist to maintain entirely cath
olic interests, we seek to escape
the stigma of having a literary
column. We can no longer restrain
oursclf, even forcibly, from lyri
cizing the new mode.
It is gay, dashing, surprising
and romantic. No longer is wom
an forthright and fuss-less in her
dress. She clothes herself in
caprice and whimsy.
Lovely throats are buried deep
In snowly Marpot ruffs, shining
heads are topped by Lady Mac
beth caps, modest ankles are en
cased in amusing "Gay '90" bi
cycle boots. Fragile faces are pro
tected by bewitching snoods, lithe
figures triumphantly square their
shoulders in Gibson Girl puffs.
Flowers bloom on hats, on lapels,
on bosoms, at the base of lavishly
displayed backs with white vio
lets preferred. But quaintest of all
are the gaudy be-ruffled taffeta
petticoats which are not doomed
to rustle unseen.
A new day is dawning, and a
new order. As we sigh, "Free love
is out; coquetry is the thing!"
Defying (ha ha) those critics
who sneer at literary columns, we
cannot forego passing on the re
sults of a rambling through Rob
ert Louis Stevenson's four star es
say "Virginibus Puerisque," and,
despite the possible stigma, rc
"halvers" the wisdom therein
with those for whom it is (ha ha)
It is not too paradoxical that
the crisp philosophy on love and
marriage in the essay is that of a
to-his-grave bachelor. The long
est most glamorous kiss in litera
turesix glowing pages is said
to have been written by a spinster
school teacher. The best authori
ties on cancer have not contracted
the disease. (Hear, hear!)
So his words may be authorita
tive when he says:
"Love should run out to
mee love with open arms. In
deed the ideal story is that of
two people who go into love
step for step, with a fluttered
consciousness." He continues:
"Once you are married there
is nothing left for you, not
even suicide, but to be good.
From afar, we have, for these
many years, admired Heywood
Broun, and our favorite story con
cerns his attitude toward dinner
parties. He was once roped into
one bv Mrs. William Randolph
Hearst. Broun was seated beside
a beautiful woman, and across the
table crouched F. P. A. (Franklin
Adams), who hoarsely whispered
to Broun during the dinner, "Who
is your partner?"
Brouns booming whisper back
to F. P. A. was, ''Believe it or not,
it's Mrs. Vincent Astor!" F. P. A.
reports that Broun never received
another ifearst dinner invitation.
Were our ethics not what
they are, we might mention
the name of the girl with
whom Orville Zinn, of the Be
atrice swimming Zinns, had a
date not long ago. Suffice it
so say she was a Theta. Be
that as it may, as they bid
each other good night at the
front door, the young miss
wistfully asked, "But aren't
you going to kiss me good
night?" Young Mr. Zinn, dig
ging his toe in the snow and
pivoting on one fine le9
stammered, "Oh, I'm not that
kind of a boy." Can it be
true?
Some day a benefactor of man
kind will find a fit punishment for
those who compile a campus' com
posite ideal boy or girl. The read
ing public is periodically cursed
with such things thru the daily
and collegiate press, and where
does it get 'em? We should like
to see such things consigned to
the same fate as all Man On the
Street programs.
(And how are all your folks?)
"Women have ALWAYS been ex
actly what the men expected them
to be or desired them to be. Yet,
never in all history have men ad
mitted that the Girl-of-the-Momcnt
was entirelv to their taste, it is
practically hopeless!" sez Helen
Rowland. I Ha ha.)
It's all very c'tar Poppa
don't like poe-try. But you don't
want to be like him, now do you
kiddies? So open wide, Susie
dear, while Daddy's out with the
boys.
If she had a broom straw
Stuck in her hat,
We'd think it was a feather,
She's like that.

PLAYERS CAST TO
STAGE 'PETRIFIED
FOREST' MONDAY
Armand Hunter to Play
Leading Role in New
Production.
The. Petrified Forest," Robert
E Sherwood's contribution to the
roster of 1935 Broadway sensa
tions has been obtained by the
University Players through spe
cial arrangements with the New
York Plavworkers, and will open
its second showing outside New
York for a week's run in the Tem
ple theater March 2. ,
Following a custom established
in recent years the Players bring
another important modern drama
tto the campus. During the past
few years such successes as
"Counsellor at Law," "Dinner at
Eight." "Yellow Jack." "There's
Always Juliet," "The. Bishop Mis
behaves," and "The Lake" have
been but a few of the many stage
"bright lights" staged in the Tem
ple theater.
The "Petrified Forest," with
which the Players open their sixth
run of the season Monday nigni.,
to ton even the ereatest
of these past performances. It
was a serious contender ior
Pulitzer prize last year and in
the opinion of many respected
critics deserved the honor. How
ever in spite of the importance put
on this production as a modern
drama it is still "good theater."
Humor, melodrama, action, and
philosophy of modern times have
been so perfectly blended into the
pending production that the aver
age theater goer has hailed the
play as a brilliant success.
The action is laid in a barbecue
stand on the edge of the petrified
forest in Arizona. Into the lunch
room ii the course of action, come
an All American halfback, an au
thor, whose sense of futility has
doomed him to failure, a wealthy
Ohio magnate, and his wife, and
to furnish the excitement, public
enemy No. 1, who is making a
frenzied dash for the border and
freedom.

Points to Schedule of
Third Year Women.
Decision that women in the ju

they are active at the present time,
was made by the Inter-organization
council at a meeting called
yesterday noon to discuss the new
point system recently revised un

board.
It is planned that in order to
make a graduatual transition from
the old to the new systems, that
junior women may continue the
same major activities providing
they do not enter any other group
tn which they are not members at
the present time.
In making this decision the Inter-organization
council made pro
visions that the A. W. S. point
system chairmen should make a
list of the junior women violating
the point system under the new
ruling, and, according to announce
ment made by Alaire Barkes,
Mortar Board president and chair
man of the Inter-organization

as special cases and some adjust

Several hundred Nebraska

in their decisive game tonight
with the Cornhuskers.
Coach Browne was introduced
and thanked the students for their
interest and support of the team
shown all through this year and
their enthusiasm in the coming
game. "Basketball needs tradi
tion," said Browne, and there are
two ways of building it. One is to
have a winning team. The boys
are doing their best toward that
end. The other is to have a good
spirit among the students. The
students have had more spirit this
year than ever before. With a
combination like this Nebraska
can't help but win games.
Coach Browne then introduced
Game Captain George Wahlquist,
who in turn introduced the senior
members of the team, Henry

Meeting Wednesday
"New Deal Legal Theories as

subject of the address given by
Prof. C. M. Hicks Wednesday eve
ning before members of Alpha
Kappa Psi, professional comi- rce
fraternity, at a meeting held at
the Delta Tau Delta house.
Mr. Hicks briefly reviewed all
of the court decisions given on
the new deal measures and re

HUSKER CHANCES GOOD
Home Boys Protecting Clean
Record With No Games
Lost Here.
Those five Kansas .T ay hawk
ers who have hecn set up as
immortal hy news print arriv
ed in Lincoln today, each wear,
ing a clean conference lil. -Ml
Big Six fans will focus their op
tics on this evenings frolic be
tween the first ranking Kansar.s
and the second place Huskers.
The home boys will be protect
ing an unblemished record similar
to that of Coach Forrest Allen's
men. for they have lost nary a
game on the home site and intend
to maintain the record in spite of
Kansas. The fact that Kansas is
high in the conference and unde
feated is the spark that kindles the
fiamc jnder the Huskers. The fire,
at least so is the common conjec
ture, is sufficient to default the
Jays for the first time.
NEBRASKA'S SCORES BEST.
By comparative scores in games
of the last portion of the peason,
Nebraska is the best team against
Iowa State, the clan that walked
off with the conference last year,
did far better against Phog's boys
than against the Brownemen. The
difference between the tall corn
men and Kansas was some ten
points while between the Huskers
and Cyclones the difference was
twice that.
Kansas presents one of the most
well balanced teams that have
ever come out of Big Six com
petion, with every man tall and
every man a sharpshooter. One
ecouraging factor is that Pralle, a
forward has only a fifty-tifty
chance cf breaking into the start
ing lineup. The husky forward
sprained his ankle when hustling
done the sidelines for a setup. For
a few days the coaching staff was
in a stew for fear that some bonrs
had been fractured. X-rays were
taken, however, and the prints
proved not so. Doctors stated that
such an injury mended immediate
eral months were required for re
ly sometimes and sometimes sev
c'overy. Coach Allen insifits that
his presence in the lineup is nec
essary. ALLEN PESSIMISTIC AGAIN.
Among the other Allen convic
tions is that his team is due for
a whipping Friday. Were the fans
not concious of his pessimistic
tradition, this might encourage
Nebraska enthusiasts.
"Nebraska has all the ingmli
ants," he insisted in his oft re
peated remark concerning the
game, "height, speed, experience,
and power. Three seniors. Wahl
quist, Widman, i.u Whitaker have
the experience and Ebaugh a six
feet six inch center has the
height." The Jay mentor has been
liberally turning out such publica
tion statements ever since he first
perched in the drivers seat at Kan
sas U.
Eolh Browne and the players
believe that the Huskers will do
the job over Kansas tonight call
it an upset if vou wish.
INVADERS WELL RESTED.
The invaders are stuffed with
