2 Tlie DAILY NKBRASKAN Friday, November 17, 1939 Student Pulse Union, women draw student comment To the Editor: This is an open letter to the WOMEN: At last the women in their Fashion edition have led with their chins. Women, the necessary evil, have at last given us a chance to slap them flatter than a gendarme's instep! For years we have been waiting for this eort of a chance to really pour it on; and now, now, we have been given the opening. First, by what sacred right do the women pan our suits with padded shoulders? A little decep tion drives them to slander when they have been deceiving us for years wi'h girdles! They howl to the high heavens about our neck ties, but what do they invariably give us for Christmas? Color, long the plaything of the fairer sex, has at last found its true expression in the name of men's haberdashery, and what happens? They yell bloody mur der. Why? Because it is a worn- en'S nature to be jealous; they fear that men Will exCCll them in dreSS as in everything else. Better loud SOX than none at all! Silk hose during the week are abOUt as rare as Sweat Shirts at the Military BalL But, probably there will be a lot of "Sloppy Joe" sweaters there this year! Women should talk about shoes. What has become of the high heeled shoe that showed female limbs to such a good advantage? And some of us still remember the old days before spoons replaced Vim olitc tr ' ' , . .... r nin wuineii ix-giii io criticize the adorning masculine chapeaux that is the end: Doesnt the rest go without saying? The only time j that anyone can really tell if a woman is a woman on this cam pus is on week-ends, and then we hold our breaths as we call for dates. Bill Golding. To the Editor: Recently a STUDENT attacked the Student Union in regard to its prices for food. I wish to chal lenge this opinion. In the first place, has a STU DENT really compared the quality of food in his restaurant with that of the Student Union? I believe that he would find that a better quality of food is used at the Union. The Union endeavors to give the student as good food as he has at home. At what other establishment can one find such a well-balanced meal as at the Union? Then the sanitary standards of the Union are high. Can a STU DENT be sure that his food is prepared under the best of sani tary conditions at his other restau rant? Then the help are well paid at the Union, a thing which is probably not the case at other that such an establishment as the Union should pay its help suffi clently. By the time the salaries are paid and all necessary repairs are taken into account, I don t be lieve ine union is making any profit. This all brings us to the ques tion as to whether the standards of the Union should be lowered To be sure, the Union can prob ably be put on a cheaper basis, But do we want that? A Student Union Friend To the Editor: While we're on the subject of food prices in the Union, why not do a little griping on the price of ciragcttes. raying 15 cents for a single package of regular brands Is okay, but 15 cents straight when a guy buys two of them is outrageous when you can get them all over town, two for Revue - - (Continued From rage 1.) will not be used by the judges in determining the best numbers for the same reason that lie detectors are not used by the courts, it will let the audience know how much applause is being received. Cups will be presented at the close of the show. Full stage acts lasting approxi mately ten minutes will be alter nated with curtain skits of about half that length, and music by Johnny Cox will fill in between all acts while scenery is being cnangea.

With retailers roping in about 10 per cent profit selling them two for a quarter, the Union drags in over 20 percent profit on the standard brands. Kids smoke plenty of cigarettes here, and would just as soon buy them in the grill if they weren't so expen- sive when they buy two packages. When you smoke a package a day or nearly eight a week, the savings amount to about 80 cents a month, or three shows, or. two good meals, for which some of us find ourselves without money at times, ...A Smoker.

Made "mechanic.il love" last night and the conversation ran something like this: Me: "Ha! The moon is like an incandescent lamp shining through opalescent glass to cast a fiery beam upon your spun glass hair." She: "Yes, and your voice. It sounds as might the 100 h. p. en gine when two of the horses were left in the stable." Me: "Dckively one, your eyes . She: "Yes?" Me: (Feverently) "They are like two immense ball bearinps floating in huge puddles of lubri cating oil." She: "You shock me as would the empty light socket if I were to thrust my tongue into it." Me: (More feverently) "You leave me breathless and gasping gasping as does the carburetor when it is flooded with explosive fuel." She: (Playing hard to get) "Yes, and now, more than gentle zephers do blow over your mea dow, wnat giant propeller doth stir t m?" Me: "J -ave yon meadow to the meadow ks. Tempus is fugiting and the ceting minutes become as precious as the droplets of gas in the near empty tank." She: "Then how come thou hath not applied the clutch?" Me: (Once again fervent and applying the clutch) "And now, sweet one, let my lips, lips like two cold pieces of steel, come into contact with the fire of your lips and have such a contact exist un til the cold steel of mine runs molten as in the smelters." She: (After things become mol ten) "My heart is pounding like a loose piston and with mercurial speed yet I find myself as weak as a two volt current, " Me: (Even more fervent) "Without you, I am no better than the vacuum sweeper without the vacuum." She: "Aren't we getting too serious?" Me: (Too fervent) Yes, but we started this thing together and together we must finish."

The paper com ments mat uie Gotham scribes "might have done a little better by our Faul than to call him 'Football's Dizzy Dean." I he Missouri paper tells its readers not to take this term too seriously and goes on to explain that whenever a celebrity hits New York the writers there go into a huddle and decide on a nick name for him. "Once it is agreed upon, half the battle is over," the aiar explains. In an epic paragraph, the news paper concludes: "After all. Christ man's greatness, it seems to ye tA, is not more in his pitchin' snd his loquacity than in his poise. The only poise we've seen to compare with it, outside of Creek sculpture, was when John L'rew used to look over the foot lights and count the house. And until the New York boys find a name for Faul that takes in this characteristic, they haven't dune ngnt ry mm." Although the paper doesn't mention it, it might be better to reserve judgment on Christ man's greatness until after the Okla homa game. And as for his "poise," well -poise will be poise, you Know.
