Honor of American Womanhood anil Stuff Being at once a columnist and a confidante produces the maxi mum conflict between duty and pleasure, we insist. When someone comes to you in a sorry plight and earnestly asks what to do about it should one's answer be made with an eye to good copy or to the welfare of the hapless soul in volved ? Newsparer workers have a more or less undeserved advan tage over their fellows, in that people are inclined to take seri ously any words of wisdom that fall from their silvery in-cheeked tongues. And the minor crimes perpetrated upon an unquestion ing public are legend. One prom ising young girl reporter tells us that a favorite stunt of hers is to exclaim guilelessly to the mas culine member of a happy duo that lipstick enhances his coun tenance. Nine and one half out of ten reach for pocket handker chiefs. But the so-called confidence in the press can have its very sober ing aspects too. Aware of the trust some troubled heart has in you, and uneasily sure that they will undoubtedly do what you suggest, you often find yourself in a spot that can't be laughed off, or wise cracked out of. And so you wriggle uncomfortably under the confining bands of guileless faith and sweat out an answer. Sunday a charming and fun loving alum of this institution, now an admired, respected school teacher in a small Ne braska town, wanted to know if it would be all right for her to go on a week end fishing trip with her handsome date and two married couples, with everything according to Hoyle. separate ac comodations and all. Oh he was the grandest fellow, and the espoused pairs were perfectly lovely people, and it would be a grand time. She had said "no" but if we thought it would be all right, she could hurry up quick and write "yes." If any thing happened she knew her parents would feel that it just wasn't the thing to do, but she wanted so much to go. Our only answer, of course, was to echo the sentiments of Marjory HiUis in "Live Alone And Like It." Nowadays, with many of the coun try's young women far from pro tecting brothers and papas, a girl's imputation is her own damn busi ness. Tractically nobody is going to fly to avenge your honor if you make a fool of your self. You savor your independence; you must also learn to value discretion. If vou care not what the gossip droolers fay. play as many games as you plea.se-and no score. If a good name is of importance to you. you ' might find observance of a rule or! two helpful. This is not nearly as Bohe mian as it might seem. For in the last analysis, the great minds tell us, your own attitude is what counts. If your seif respect remains beautifully intact under authenticated whispering cam paigns ano Knowing smiles, then a fig for the scandal mongers. It's your life, to make of it what you will. It has ben wisely said: "To thine own self be true." When your conscience is elastic that's all right too. For married or single, you have ultimately only with. And the question is how i to best live your aloneness and most like it. i Irreprewible Vetores. K' n t-iav,. (iftfii in.lrd u hat I (Continued on Page 3. t COLLEGE PASTORS MEETiTkiuTAS: Ecv.

Four Nebraska debaters and parliamentarians returned from Ames, Iowa, late Saturday eve ning after attending the third Iowa Student Legislative assembly last Friday and Saturday. Those who represented Nebraska at the assembly were Paul Bstandig, David Curtiss, Byrle Shuck, and Forrest Wilke. The assembly was off to a very successful beginning after dele gates from the eight colleges rep resented nominated and elected Shuck of Nebraska as speaker. Besides being speaker of the en tire assembly. Shuck presented a bill licensing the distribution of prophlactics. After being consid ered twice by the general session, the bill was finally passed. In addition Shuck was also one of the main speakers at the dinner attended by all the representatives on Friday evening. Bstandig Takes Part. Also taking a prominent part in the legislative activity was Paul Bstandig, veteran Husker de bater. As a member of the com mittee on general welfare, Bstand ig's work was outstanding in the assembly. His resolution against entering into foreign wars was ap proved without any particular op position.

Shakespearian Fete Opens With 'Creditable' Showing t.wl.it A.wl;.i I !iL innr As Players Present 'Hamlet' Mondav. By Oliver Howard. The Shakespeare festival got under way last night with "Ham let" starring Hart Jenks. The comparatively large house might be taken as an indication of the J appreciation of the student body for the better things in drama, but an examination of their numbers revealed that they were very much in the minority. Those pres- j ent were largely faculty members and some of the local citizenry of Lincoln. The campus "intellec tuals" and those who Sarah Meyer calls pseudosophisticates were conspicuous by their absence.

Jenks handled the soliliquies very nicely, and the grave digging scene was carried off well by Max Gould and Art Ball as the grave diggers, but the player who brought down the house was Shad Brosch, who as a guard. combined a ludicrous costume wjth an aptness for forgetting his 0ne line, in a combination that stopped the show. His appearance Cn the stage took the edge off of SOme otherwise fine scenes, but panicked the audience. Buel Performs Well. Don Buel was convincing for a change as Polonius. father of Ophelia and Laertes. Vera May Peterson paraded with queenly dignity, while Dick Rider, in the role of the King, seemed rather bored with the whole business. Paul Bogan, overplayed Rosen cranz. and his cohort Guildenstern. was played by John Gath. Smith Davis walked through the part of Horatio, stooge to Hamlet, under wraps, the rumor being that he will shoot the works later in the week. Don Boehm, as Laertes, brother of Ophelia and son of Polonius, can't seem to forget that Bar-O-Ranch closed over a week ago, for he stalks through his part in "Hamlet" with the same cowboy roll that he affected in the Kos met show.
