THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1938. TWO I SOCIETY I Resolution To the Senate Ball Recalls Gay Nineties as Coeds Follow Fashion Foibles Formal Opener Brings Parade of Swirling Hoops Fellows may fret, but the girls will persist in wearing hoops and up-hair coiffures. A touch of the gay '90's swept over the Military ball last night. Yards of lavish satin, vel'-ct, and net were swirled into gowns. Countesses of the Ak-Sar-Ben, Theta Kdith Knight, and Alpha Phi Helen Abel, wore their gowns of silver lame with trains, while Theta Mary Virginia Knowles wore her princess gown, made from yards of pink net sprinkled with silver sequins. Dar!: haired M;;ry Kosborough, Theta pledge, looked gay in her flowered taffeta, different with a low, square neckline and large puffed sleeves. Frances Boldman was a symphony in gray and ril ver with a gray net topped by brocade, and an orchid atop a curl cluster in her hair. White Slipper Satin. Petite Betty Bachman was sheathed in white slipper satin, strapless, princess style, accented by an antique gold necklace. Chat ting with Betty was Van Harper in royal purple silk. Chi Omega Helen Pasco looked as lovely as usual in while silk trimmed in cerise velvet and matching feath er in her hair. Dancing with Bob Metz was seen Beth Howley, a picture In white taffeta accented by a wide red velvet sash around her waist. Tri pelt Roberta Mowry in blue chiffon fitted having a train of red and blue Swinging out with Oral Beta Hager was Woody Campbell, Phi Mil from Georgia.

There are good arguments in favor of this resolution which the faculty senate should weigh. Classes on Jan. 2, as planned by the university calendar which was drawn up last spring, would necessitate outstate students to travel to the capital city on Aew l ear s day in the face of heavy holiday and Sunday traf fic. The idea of safety among traveling uni versity students is tantamount in the minds of university officials, but the feasibility of a Jan. 2 school reopening apparently was not seriously studied. And there is the obvious fact that Jan. 2 is a legal holiday. Since New Year's day falls on Sunday, the legal observation of the holi day comes on Monday. State and federal of fices, banks and many business firms will all Ire closed nationally during Monday. Because the university calendar was drafted before congress finished its various "must" legislation last spring, Armistice day as proclaimed and authorized by the U. S. congress was not observed as the legal holi day it is supposed to be. I5ecau.se of Lincoln business men's commercializing on the day, university officials called off the traditional H. 0. T. (J. parade through downtown Lincoln. And because the university calendar did not include Armistice day as a legal holiday and university officials the faculty senate felt that the day was not important enough to justify formal university observance, Nov. 11, 1938 20th anniversary of Armistice day was just Friday, the day before the Pitt game. There should be some significance at tached to a resolution passed by the unani mous vote of the student council, student gov erning body of the university. Contrary to the view assumed by some faculty members, the student council did not pass the resolution as an easy excuse to get out of school for a day. The argument of safety on New Year's day, when the roads will be jam-packed with Sun day and holiday drivers, should he stnmi? enough in itself to prompt the faculty senate to do a little calendar changing. Alpha Phis Frolic In Cornhusker Ballroom The Alpha Phi formal was held at the Cornhusker hotel last eve ning with the Beck-Jungbluth or chestra furnishing the music. Some of the couples there were Pat Prime and Jack Rcddick, Phi Psi; Marney Bremers and Art Abbot, SAE; Helen Abel and Alan Kerr, Theta Chi.
