This week they devote three pages to illustrations of how a wife should and should not undress. The pictures were snapped dur ing demonstrations by the faculty of the Allen Gilbert School of Undressing in Manhattan. The burlesque mogul, who uses strip tease queens for instructors, be lieves that many marriages end in divorce because the. wife is sloppy in the bedroom. So he dedicates his school to the "sanctity of the American home." Already 48 wives, leery of their disrobing technique, have enrolled in the $30 course of six lessons. In the spring Mr. Gilbert will produce a review entitled "Sex Raises Its Ugly Head." Dr. Donald Warren Dysinger was having a bad day Friday. Abnormal psychology was taking on many new guises, and the class was enjoying his confusion immensely. After answering a number of questions, he looked about for another upraised hand. Surprised at not finding the one more that he expected he puz zled, "I must be mistaken. I can't understand it." Many and strange were the happenings at, about, or after the Delta Delta Delta formal.

CORNHUSKERS BID HEARTY WELCOME TO MENTOR BIFF Little Colonel Introduces Major Jones With Brief Word of Farewell. Newly appointed athletic di rector Lawrence McCeny Jones was presented to seven thousand Nebraska fans Monday evening between halves of the Nebraska Kansas State basketball game in the coliseum. With resolution and photograph er's flashlights shining in his eyes. "Biff" Jones announced that it "is my ambition and determination to continue the fine record which my predecessor, Coach Dana X. Bible, has established at Nebraska." The white jacketed boy's glee club, directed by William G. Tem pcl, opened the presentation with a rendition of "Hail Varsity." Im mediately following, departing Athletic Director Dana X. Bible stepped on the floor and started to talk over the public address system. He had hardly opened his mouth, however, when the crowd burst out in thunderous applause. Bible was visibly affected by the tribute spontaneously offered him and said that it was just such expressions of good will that made his selected course difficult to take. After assuring the fans that Nebraska would always find a warm supporter and booster in him, Coach Bible concluded by in troducing "Biff" Jones. Proven Himself. Of Nebraska's new athletic di rector, Bible stated that Jones had already "proven himself, by his actions both on and off the ath letic field, to be a true Nebraskan." "Fellow Cornhuskers," Jones commenced.

Baldwin Favored King Edward. "I am 'also very positive that Prime Minister Baldwin tried to keep King F.dward on the throne. Baldwin tried vainly to persuade the king to give up the lady he really loved and to keep the throne.

Be- man mvseu ior NEBRASKA HAILS NEW COACH WITH CUOWDS, SHOUTS By Eva Jane Sinclair. He's here! mid much flashing of photographer bulbs, Coach "Biff" Jones and his wife emerged from their mud bespattered car at 6:30 last night in front of the Corn husker hotel. Nebraska alumni, friends and reporters saw a tall, raw boned man dressed in slouchy traveling clothes wearing a jovial if tired smile. Beside him his sprightly, petite wile garbed in traveling blue flashed her pleasing smile at the cameramen and chatted with inquisitive reporters. "We've been traveling since early this morning," she offered. "Oh yes, it was a hard ride," she continued and her eyes sparkled with genuine enthusiasm, "but, we're so glad to be here in Lin coln." Biff, distinctive and carrying himself with an air of military grace, was surrounded by camera men, reporters and enthusiastic welcomers as he made his way to the Cornhusker lobby where Gov ernor Cochran warmly welcomed him to Nebraska. Although heckled constantly by men of the press, and repeatedly stopped for more clicking of cameras, his commanding and gracious personality prevailed, drawing murmers from the crowd 'of "A good scout," "swell guy," and "say, he's a regular Nebraska fellow," murmers which will doubtless grow into enthusiastic shouting us Nebraska gets to know its "Biff."

Gleefully. Schewe climbed into the car which had stopped lor him, only to find himself seated j in the midst of sawed-off shot i guns. He was asked such ques I tions as "When do the banks close jhere?" and, "Where is Beatrice ! from here?'1 Then, the driver pro i duced a sub-machine gun. and asked if he had ever seen one be fore. Cold beads of perspiration broke out on Schewe's forehead as the men toyed with the question of whether they should take him along or not. Schewe said that voluntary ignorance and the fact that "he was only a kid" was all that saved him. He was taken several blocks south of O street and released with the understand ing that he should not look back. Schewe added that this was his first and last hitch-hiking expedi tion.

Burnett, welcomed the 2,000 attendants at the annual charter day convocation, held in the coli seum Monday morning. "The rnnid e-rnwth of the Uni versity surprised even its founders who believed that education was the foundation structure of de mocracy and sacrificed much to provide a system of education ap propriate to a young and growing state. Through the years it has had a substantial faculty contain ing many men gathered from noted universities, men who spoke with authority in their special fields, men who left their impress on the students of their day and preserved fine traditions of scholarship even to this present hour," the chancellor reflected. Regretting the departure of dis tinguished personalities from the administrative and faculty staffs of the institution. Dr. Burnett re minded listeners that "our faculty still contains a large percentage of young and vigorous professors in the very prime of life, men schooled in the great universities of the land, vigorous and forward looking who will make great (Continued on Page 4.) t IVAL Feature Shooting Gallery, Dancing to Attract Male Element.
