WORST
DRESSED
OF
THE WEEK
(Kdltor's note: This comment on Nc
hruski clothes Is ft satirical protest regis
tered by Holly Bhurtlcff, with apologies to
Daphne du Maurler. )
Last night I dreamt I was at
Manderley University. The best
dressed girl for the year of our
Lord, nineteen-hundred and forty,
was being presented to a group of
gaping spectators. The best-dressed
girl was Rebecca.
Rebecca was rolled from the
wings of the theater and onto the
stage in a wheel-chair designed by
the great master of surrealism,
Dali. The unique vehicle had ap
parently been conceived by Dali
when in his most ingenious mood,
for it consisted of an over-stuffed
Panda bear on wheels. The poor
bear had been decapitated and in
the place of its own head were the
two heads of worn college coeds
who had been shopping two months
for formals to wear to the Mili
tary Ball.
Ker-plunk!
Rebecca stepped heavily from
her throne. (She could not step
lightly because she was wearing
20 pounds of jewelry which had
cost her a dollar the pound.)
Rebecca walked towards the front
of the stage in her platform-soled,
wedge-heeled shoes. It was then
that I saw why she had been
chosen as the best dressed girl of
Manderley College for the year
nineteen-hundred and forty.
Rebecca evidently held a high
regard for the "unusual" in dress
and had created a new phase in
surrealism of combination which
Paris had not even thought of. She
stood before us acclaimed, ad
mired and respected for her stylish
originality.
Rebeccas facial make-up was
the first unusual characteristic
that I noticed. She had painted
two lips around her eyes, two eyes
on her cheeks, a nose on her fore
head, and a mustache across her
nose, all of which caused a mild
sensation in the audience.
Just too, too !
Rebecca was wearing Balenci-
aga's formal infantana head-dress
with a plaid tarn o'shanter cover
ing the exposed part of her lovely
green hair. She wore a charming
cardigan sweater which was the
height of bad taste, and the length
of her knees.
Rebecca "bustled" around the
stage sporting a caudal plumage
of ostrich feathers which has
never been equalled by dame or
beast.
The winning point.
But now as I reflect upon Re
becca's winning costume I realize
that it wasn't the dress or the
make-up which won for her the
notable distinction of best-dressed
girl. The articles of clothing to
which I attribute her success were
the popular half-stockings which
she wore so well. She had cleverly
chosen the type which looked most
like long winter underwear. Re
becca wore them with an air, the
air of a hockey player.
Sad truth.
As I awakened this morning
with a splitting headache, 1
thought that I had left Manderley
forever, so I blithely walked
around the Nebraska campus com
pletely free of Rebecca. Then sud
denly I saw them. A pair of red
ones, a pair of white ones, a pair
of blue ones, marching marching.

Coeds - do you want to know
how to get your man?
Colleee men can tell you, or at
least they can give their opinions
as they did in the questionnaire
given out recently by WSGA.
The average girl lacKS Drains,
75 percent of the men said. Fif
teen percent said she lacks per
sonality and 10 percent were of
the opinion that conversational
ability is missing.
In order to be successtui ai
man-catching, a girl must, accord
ing to the men:
1. Raise her mental standards.
2. Improve her conversation.
3. Smoke and drink less.
4. Dress simply.
5. Above all, do these things
naturally.
In addition to presenting this
five-point program for getting the
man, the men answered a number
of questions on the Ideal Girl.
"Do you like girls to accompany
you in smoking and drinking?"
was one of the questions put to
them.
"There's nothing more objec
tionable than a drunken girl," was

the opinion. The majority of the
comment were not so strong
against smoking as against drink
ing. Opinions on the girl who asks
a man to parties when he has
never dated her were divided
evenly.
"How much do you like girls to
talk?" brought forth the answer
"as long as she has sometning
interesting to say." Small talk

sized as a very Important part of
conversational charm.
Men advised girls to read the
sports page.
Forbidden topics of conversa
tion, as far as the men are con
cerned, are clothes and the girl's
other dates.
Switching the subject from the
girl to the man, the questionnaire
asked if he would ask the girl to
go on the street car if his car
broke down half an hour before
time to go out.
Most of the boys said, "No, you
can't park a street car."
In considering the relative
merits of dancing and conversa
tional ability, 97 percent of the
men asserted that conversational
ability is much more essential

BEST
DRESSED
OF
THE WEEK
Chosen as representing the best
in campus clothes thiB week is
Shirley Russell, for her sleek and
casual green wool garb which she
designed to win second place in
Madomoiselle's "Design for a
Living" contest in August.
Distinctive are the side welt
seams (like those on polo coats)
which hold the dress together, up
and down front and back and the
loose, bracelet-length sleeves as
well as around the reversed col
lar and arm holes. Plus these it
has: snug waist bound by wide
green girdle, fiared skirt, pockets
below the shoulder, and brass but
tons on the waist and sleeves. She
is adding an ascot scai-f to her own
version.
Similarly smooth is the soft
green wool crepe dress which
Shirley won as a prize for her de
sign. It's bustle-backed, buttoned
all the way up and down the front,
raglan sleeved with pockets within
the curved yoke, and bound by a
brown leather girdle.
