Mo Brains in
Women's Feel.
Rao Simonson tells us that any
experienced shoo salesmen, espec
ially of feminine footwear, "is con
vinced that all women are crazy
Certainly there few fields where
prospective buyers have more fan
tastic and more firmly entrenched
notions. According' to Salesman
Simonson, where a man, possessed
of a comfortable shoe will return
year after year for one exactly
like it, a woman eternally seeks
the new and different. But the
biggest headache is the tall gal
who wants a flat-heeled dress
shoe, Ray says, "They simply
don't make them."
There seems to be an ever de
creasing minority of us females
foolish enough to indulge our
flat phobia. So we must put up
a belligerent front and pustify
our stand. We can point to the
fact that a stately woman of
fashion in New York wears only
entirely heeless footwear. We
can recount the truth that many
actresses rely on low-heeled
slippers for poised entrances
and beautiful carriage on stage.
We can drag forth the skeleton
of the sprained ankle threat,
but down deep in our hearts we
know we wear flats be
cause they feel so good,
In a charming bit of palaver in
the society section of the Sunday
World-Herald. Julia B. Caldwell,
dia Tying of a busy day, comments
pointedly on the shoe situation
thus: "Up betimes albeit I did
toss and turn throughout the
night, trying to decide whether I
should make my triumphal entry
into the Junior League regional
arts conference in Lincoln, in my
gray or my brown suit;. . .forsooth
1 did finally settle my sartorial
difficulties by deciding upon the
costume with the most comfort
able shoes. For Lord! I did be
think me of Morrill's marble hnlls
wherein was shown the art ex
hibit, and I did base my attire
upon the prospective health of
my feet."

It is the adolescent if not the
animal in us that waxes skittish

Phi Psis we fly kites, if we are
Raggers, we ice cream cone, if

hop. Oldsters are ever leery of
such manifestations, even mis
understand them. Such, at least,
was the case in an incident set
forth in our Morgan's "The Psy
chology of Abnormal People:" A
mother called the principal of a
school and asked him "to protect
her daughter from adolescence
which, she had heard, was playing

IRISH DON GKEEN
TODAY TO HONOIl
OLD ST. PATKICK
By Marjorie Churchill.
"There's not a mile in Ireland's
isle
Where the dirty vermin mus
ters; The toads went hop, the frogs
went flop.
Slap dash into the water,
And the beasts committed sui
cide To save themselves from
slaughter."
And so runs one of the most
popular legends regarding St. Pat
rick, patron saint of Ireland,
whose festival on March 17 is cele
brated by Irishmen wherever they
may happen to be. In his legend
ary driving of the snakes and
other reptiles out of Ireland, St.
Patrick has achieved a fame which
eclipses that of any other patron
saint.
Much uncertainty exists as to
the life of this traditional person
ality. He is believed to have been
carried away by pirates in his
16th year from his home in Tours,
France, and to have been taken to
the north of Ireland, where he was 1
sold as a slave. Later he became
a noted Christian evangelist to the j
heathen in Ireland. j

land is universal. The shamrock is 1

Noted Hollywood Designer,
Former Nebraskan Tells
Of Rise to Fame.
A Nebraska alumnus tells the
inside story of a successful Holly
wood designer in the new March
Alumnus, which appears on the
campus today. He is Lewis Roycr
Hastings, '26. who has become one
of the leading designers of the
Twentieth Century-Fox studios in
the film capital.
Hastings is living a double life
at Hollywood and Pasadena now.
The Lewis R. Hastings part is an
interior decorator and architect
with a shop in Pasadena. Lewis
Royer, his other self, designs cos
tumes for famous movie stars. The
reason for the dual role is that
stars wouldn't want an interior
decorator to make their costumes,
nor would business men want a
fashion stylist to plan their new
club room. In his article "Clothes
to the Stars," he describes the
vast industry of fitting out the
actors to appear before the camera.

MEASURE TO FACE
Student Council Leaders
Show Varied Opinions
On Resolution.
The student council will placj
its final stamp on the measure for
political reform as proposed by the
investigatory committee at thu
meeting last week, when they con
vene at five o'clock this afternoon.
Although the plan was presented
to the body a week ago, the coun
cil charter rules that a week must
intervene between the time of pres
entation and the final vote.
The proposal to be voted on, is
the third of a series of reform pro
posals designed by the investiga
tory committee in its determined
drive to clean up men's politics on
the campus. The first two were
presented to the council by the
committee chairman some time ago
and were referred to the judiciary
committee for consideration. After
a hearing with the Judiciary board,
tho committee on investigations
came forth with the pending com
promise between the two plans.
Two Provisions Made.
Two definite provisions make up
tho proposals, which its defend
ants hope will better the campus
election problem. The first of the
proposals orders that the names of
all factions be stricken from be
hind the names of the candidates,
both in the publication of those
candidates and on the final ballot
presented to student voters. The
second provision would provide lor
a system of judicial review of all
candidates as to merit and eligi
bility by the judiciary committee
of the student council before they
may go before the vote of the stu
dent body.
In last week's meeting little dis
cussion was held on the second of
the provisions, which seemingly
met with the approval of the en
tire body. However, the committee
hit a snag in the presentation of
the first part of the resolution
when members of the investiga
tory board itself rose up in pro
test. Arnold Levin, president of
the council, and a member of the
committee, led the small group
which opposed the bill, and was
joined in his argument by severe 1
