Foolish, fashion looks forward to Pansy bowl tilt
The fashion
mind is still
on football
Sheer whimsey, but . . .
Taris is no longer the fashion
center of the world, for the Tansy
Bowl tilt spectators are looking
to "Sademoiselle" for new fashion
ideas. Blue and black are the fa
vorite colors. . .so one of our foot
ball onlookers in planning to wear
a delicate blue suit and a black
eye. The Alpha Alpha Alpha's
will appear in soft rose bathing
suits with a dash of color on their
stunning aquamarine snowshoes.
Of course, the Sigma's will wear
hats, and the Betta Gamma's will
strut green silk hose with purple
ruffles to take the place of panta
loons. The Psi Gamma Pi's will
bring the newest in plaid blank
ets. Swigma Mus will furnish the
refreshments, pink lemonade, I be
lieve. Baby ...
If you see haggard looks on
Marjorie Fye, Kappa Delta, and
Nelle Lippitt, A. O. Pi president,
you'll know it's just because the
baby cries and disturbs them.
They are living in the Home man
agement house and the baby,
Ronnie, goes with the house.
Remember?
Remember Acacia Fred Shirey,
the AU-American? He's back in
town again dating Betty Sue Mey
ers of the Alpha Chi O house.
Shirley Bonham, last year presi
dent of Wilson Hall is wearing
Neal Hadsell's Delta Sigma Pi pin
since last Friday night.
There were many flutterings of
fern hearts at the Towne Club
meeting when some of the foot
ball players stumbled into the
candle-lit dining room on the way
to their own training table.
Acacia Mothers Club met Tues
day at the chapter house for a
1 p. m. luncheon. Hostesses were
Mrs. W. A. Brown and Mrs. L. A.
White. The mothers of the pledges
were guests.
Alpha Chis are sending their
pledges out to the DU house for
dinner tonight while entertaining
the actives at home.
Still at it. . :
Pledges of the Delta Tau Delta,
Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsi
lon fraternities sneaked to Omaha
Tuesday night leaving havoc be
hind them. They had the lights
turned off, called the police, and
the taxi-cab stands, then took all
the food and left town. The ac
tives, not to he left behind, chased
off to Omaha after them. Of
course, everyone did get home in
time for their J o'clocks.
Wor!
Phi Delts were playing football
in the Tii Delta front yard until
one of the Tri Delts stole the ball.
A general riot ensued. Finally the
Phi Delts broke in and carried off
some of the living room chairs
and the Tri Delts gave back the
football to get their chairs back.

democracy.
Democracy is decadent, they
feel; totalitarianism is dynamic.
Unless Britain and Fiance make
their war an ideological battle and
bring victory to the democratic
form of government, it is doomed.
Another great victory for totali
tarianism will cause it to spread
even into the strongholds of de
mocracy. The emotional attach
ments to ideologies, not only hard
facts, must be considered.
The questions are: Can a doc
trine of peace, liberty and free
dom, which democracy is sup
posed to be, continue to exist if
it forever abandons its ideals to
use force? Can totalitarianism be
stamped out by force?
Democracy's strength lies in the
people who believe that its ideals
will work. If this emotional con
viction is exploded by the argu
ment that democracy can survive
only by force, by war against doc
trines of force, then will the very
basis of non-violent government be
destroyed. Democracy must tri
umph over totalitarianism by the
strength of its message, by what
it has to offer the individual, if it
is to win. It must triumph in the
individual mind, for a victory on
the battlefield destroys no vital
ideology.
False rumors of an armistice
have swept Berlin several times,
upon each occasion bringing great
bursts of relief and joy, only to
be followed by gloom as the radio
denies the reports. Hitler is ap
parently very anxious for peace
in the west. Some believe that
this desire Indicates a fear of the
Reds. Then again it might show
that the British blockade is be
coming very effective. If this lat
ter theory is correct Britain will
be slow to make peace.
