Dame Fashion Scores Again with
Latest Things as to Proper Dress
for that Earlv Breakfast Hour
By Dame Fashion.
With the Military ball and the
Morta'- Board party past and the
formal season safely launched, the
coed may consider the matter of
formal gowns well under control
and may turn her attention to the
more pressing problem of proper
clothes to wear to other affairs.
The Daily Ntbraskan has never
before printed a fashion article
adequately dealing with the matter
of what the well dressed coed
wears for breakfast. Realizing this
omission. Dame Fashion sets her
self to explain to campus beau
ties in what details they have been
incorrect this winter when they
ate their toast and coffee and
orange juice in the morning.

At the Kalpha Eta. Thappa
house, freshmen girls usually ar

attired end ready for classes, the
habits of their high school days
still prevailing over their more
primitive instincts.
Sophomore Thappas, too, need
rot face the problem of what, to
wear at the oatmeal hour, since
they do not get up in time for
breakfast.
Senior Set Example.
To juniors and seniors, however,
the; matter is pregnant with mean

schools of thought. The first, and
more conservative, school, insists
that curl papers and cold cream

FRENCH
FILM APPEARS
AT VARSITY SATURDAY
Students to See Comedies
by Famous Moliere,
Sacha Guitry.
"Une Soiree a la Comedie Fran
caise," French film, will be pre
sented to university students Sat
urday, January 16, at the Varsity
theater. Tickets may be purchased
for 25 cents from Miss Agusta
Nelson in room 108 in University
Hall.
Showing the greatest French
troupe, the Comedie Francaise, in
behind the stage scenes, the movie
includes the actual production of
two plays. Moliere's "Les Pres
ieuses Ridiclues," comedy of the
seventeenth century, and "Les
Deux Couverts" by the contempo
rary actor-producer Sacha Guitry
will be shown.
Moliere's play tells of a man
who wishes to marry his daughter
and his neice to sons of good fam
ilies. The girls, influenced by nov
els, have asumed a superficial air.
and reject the offers of marriage,
in revenge, the rejected lovers
send their valets disguised as nob
leman to pay court to the young
ladies.
The comery turns into an ex
travagant farce, full of irresistible
situations, where the false man
ners and elegancies of the "grand
siecle" are parodied.
A father who is disillusioned by
son is portrayed in the play by
Sacha Guitry. Table has been set
for two for dinner, father and son.
After much delay the son re
truns home only to leave again
for n dinner piiparpnifiit. with his
ther orders to serve dinner for one

also allow students who can't at- j

The students in an L.S.U. geol

tling about the Rose Bowl game,
much to the discomfort of the
professor. To put an end to this
he insisted that the students ask
him questions about geology.

Student Newspaper Proposes
Abolishment of Graduation Week
l-roni the Daily Illini.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Jan. 5.
In a move to do away with
traditional commencement exer
cises, the Traveler, University of
Arkansas student newspaper, pub
lished today an editorial proposing
" to abolish in one sweep the ex
pense, nuisance, and nonsense of
graduation week."
"Of all the claptrap and useless
fixtures of college life, commence
ment is one of the principal ab
surdities," said Editor John Hutch
ison. Declaring that commencement
serves no purpose other than to
burden the student with several
extra days of tiresome program,

the C. U. columnist, "We suppose
that they are referring to the ple

On the trek of the Great Ca

There was a noise of turning

Primarily it might have been
because the Nebraskans walked
from place to place in robe.
Most of the easterners had never
heard of the small burg of Lincoln,
Nebraska, and for many days be
lieved that the choir came from
Lincoln. England. When they were
straightened on the statistics and
the habitat of our own prodigals,
they insisted that they must have
come via stage coach as far as
ChicHRO and demanded to see an
arrow head of an Indian. Amon;
their other educational lacks con
cerning Nebraska they had never
been told of a drouth. Even after
they were they knew of no reason
why rain was necessary.
One evening when time was lax,
the choir thought tip their own
recreation of hypnotism. In this

away on the flats of their faces.
One of the members of the choir

Qualified candidates will be re
quired to take those selections of
the College Entrance Board ex
aminations In French 3 and Ger
man 3 involving comprehension
and translation of the foreign
language Into English, together
with a supplementary reading
test in each of these languages.
They will also take other tests
designed to give some indication
of their relative capacities and
preparation for careers in social
science including two specially
prepared examinations In social
science and one in elementary
mathematics. It is emphasized
that the examination results,
while important, are to be used
only as a means for securing data
supplementary to that obtained
from undergraduate records, spon
soring letters, and other sources.
Appointments will be for the
academic year 1937-38. Requests
for renewals for a second year
will be considered on the basis of
performance during the first pe
riod of appointment. Fellows are
required to devote their full time
to their studies and do no other
work.
Closing date for the receipt of
applications on blanks to be se
cured from the fellowship secre
tary of the Social Science Re
search Countil, 230 Park Avenue,
New York City, is March 15, 1937.
Awards will be announced as early
as possible in July. Each candidate
must submit a letter from the
chairman of the department in
which he has pursued his major
undergraduate study in support of
his application before blanks will
be sent to him.

PACIFISTS UNITE IN
FIGHT AGAINST WAR
Emergency Campaign Is
Gaining Speed with
Threats of War.
The emergency peace campaign,
now In preparation for its January
and February cycle of mass meet
ings, Is throwing every resource
at its command into the fight to
keep the United States out of war.
In a thousand of the nation's
largest cities, an approximate total
of 1,500 meetings will be held. The
purpose of these meetings is to
mobilize and make articulate the
great mass of peace sentiment ex
isting in the United States today
and to make the public cognizant
of the propagandic methods em
ployed to start war. Governmental
action is stressed with emphasis
on reduction of armaments, ade
quate neutrality measures, eco
nomic co-operation, and revision
of the basic policy of the army and
the navy. The emergency peace
campaign believes that if public
opinion is made actively articulate
on these matters, the possibility of
our becoming involved in foreign
war becomes remote.
As speakers for these meetings,
the emergency peace campaign
has secured the volunteer services
of 300 of the nation's most distin
guished authors, educators, clergy
men and social leaders. The win
ter program will begin Jan. 7, at
Philadelphia's academy of music,
when Maude Royden, England's
brilliant religious and social wel
fare leader; Sherwood Eddy, trav
eler and lecturer, and Harry Em
erson Fosdick, noted radio preach
er, deliver addresses. From there,
the third cycle of campaign mass
meetings will swing across the en
tire country and back again, end
ing in New York early in March.
