"Wimmcn!" said the buy in tlio

About Girls.
"Cherchay la femme Is what I
always say," rejoined his dapper
companion. "Even if I did get a
condition in French, I'll take litis
slice of whole wheat and you can
have the white. What's the matter
with girls? Have you sworn off
'em again?"
"Yeah," agreed number two, its
another forkful of meat loaf passed
his pearly pates.
"Realiy, I mean It. You know,
by golly," he said, only the word
wasn't golly, "I think a guy
would study better if he went to
some school where there weren't
any pretty girls within eyeshot.
I betcha he wouldn't waste half
the time he does by going to a
school where they have co-educational
system. Just look at all
the time a guy wastes when he
could be studying. Gee, look at
all the dates a guy gets at co
educational schools where at the
schools like, say M. I. T., Har
vard, and West Point, a guy
studies more because he's less
tempted to get dates."
"Are you going to use the rest
of your butter?"
"No. But at schools like this a
guy is just like the Light Brigade,
sort of. You know, girls to the
right of him, girls to the left of
him, girls In front, of him, into the
jaws of femininity rido the six
hundred, or whatever the amount
of boys is. Kven the engineers have
more girls around them than they
would otherwise. The only places
they don't see them is in their
classrooms. But all the bizads, ails
and sciences, ags, and f ine arts sit
next to girls, walk with them be
tween classes, open doors for
them and have dates with them
not only on weekends but in be
tween weekends."
"Ain't It the truth. Have we
got a dessert comin?'"
"Listen, don't you think I'm
right, huh?"
"I guess to. But isn't it just
as hard on the girls' studying?"
"Well, if they come to school to
learn something, they'd be better
off if they went to a strictly girls'
school, too. If they want to mix a
lot of fun with a little studying,
a co-eduentional school is just the
place. With a boy, tho, its differ
ent. He's got to depend quite a bit
on what he learns in college and
sure isn't gonna help him any to
learn how to spend money the
quickest way. I betcha most of
the seniors realize that, too. And
they aren't the real socialites,
either. M jst of them either have
steadies by that time, or concen
trate on their studies and don't
date so murh. I think it's the soph
omores and juniors who date the
most. I'll take a piece of apple
pie.
"Same.''
"It isn't as if the boys that date
at a co-educational school would
go out of their way for a date at
strictly male school. It's just that
there are so many pretty girls

Members Prepare Papers

Next April 15.
Paul Doubt, senior, spoke on the
subject of the varied flow in pris
matic channels before members of
the Nebraska student branch of
the American Society of Mechani
cal Engineers at a recent meeting.
Relating how a more complete
and detailed study of channel
flow is resulting in more practical
results, Doubt reviewed a method
of obtaining data by which, he
stated, the relation of the depth of
flow and channel slope gives a
direct value for the constant of
Chezy's formula. The time of com
putation by this method is de
creased and the variation of values
may vary by five percent without
introducing appreciable errors, lie
said.
Urges Use of Films.

COEDS TO FILE
Committee Advances Dates
Of Filing for Time
Economy.
Filings for prom girl open today
and will close Saturday.
The prom committee announced
the change in meeting yesterday
afternoon. The advance in dates
was adopted so that all candidates'
pictures might appear in a full
page spread in a publication
printed before the former deadline.
Feeling that the sororities have
by this lime made their selections,
the prom committee agreed that
the lime remaining could well be
utilized to concentrate on the girl
elected and her presentation. How
ever, the prom girl's Identity will
not be revealed until the night of
the party.
All filings must be made at the
student activities office in the coli
seum before the deadline, Satur
day. Cuts of all candidates will
immediately be mailed to various
stale and national publications.
The contest for presentation
plans must be submitted to the
Daily Nebraska n office by next
Friday at 5. The author of the
winning idea will receive a prize
of $10. All presentations must be
limited to a maximum production
cost of $2r. Several, to date, have
been received by the committee,
but it is still anxious to acquire
as many diversified plots as pos
sible. No band has yet been signed for
the March 4 prom, but Cochairman
Ed Stceves states, "This business
of signing topnotch bands is more
difficult than we anticipated, but
we promise mat mosc auemung
the prom will dance to nothing less
than a nationally known orchestra
with good music as well."

The reremonies were opened by
two selections from the University

played "Overture Euryanthe," by
Von Weber, and the A flat and C
major Slavonic Dances by Dvorak.
Dr. Miller Gives Invocation.
Dr. Kmund F. Miller, pastor of
the First Presbyterian ' church,

showed what an important part
Chancellor Canfield played when
he was brought here from the
University of Kansas.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Fish

Famous Author Returns,
Thrills Over Campus Visit
Dorothy C. Fisher Renews
Acquaintances, Talks
Little of Work.
By Mary Stcutevillc.
In a treble, voice like Billie
Burke's Dorothy Canfield Fisher
told reporters yesterday that, she
did not. like to be interviewed
about her writing. "If you want
to hear about my wilting," she
said. "1 can recommend nothing
belter than a hook shelf-then
you can copy my impressions at
your leisure, and 1 can .lake a
nap." Very good advice, when
what we really wanted to know
was not about her writings, hut
.about Dorothy Canfield Fisher
herself.
The. famed author was delighted
with the thought that her visit
had brought to Nebraska a much
needed snowfall, but she was
worried. She hadn't any galoshes.
At home she said, she wore ski
trousers and boots whenever she
went out, for her home is in a
muntain side in Vermont which is
usually covered with snow during
the winter months.
Meets Old Friends.
Bubbling with life, the Charter
Day speaker seemed thrilled with
her visit on the campus and her
meeting with old acquaintances.
Mrs. Fisher wanted to know if
we still called the girls at Ne
braska "coeds" and was pleased
to learn that wc did. At Oxford,
she said, the coeds arc "gradu
cttes.'' The author is' interested in uni
versities, for her daughter was
graduated recently from Oxford,
and her son is in the Harvard
medical school. Mrs. Fisher liked
to talk about her family. Her
daughter went first to the Quaker
school of Swarthmore and then to
Oxford where she met her hus
