Most of them remind v, famiiv mnst be awfullv. aw- one of the upper half of a pair fully cold with the women wear- of pajamas, iner the pants all kinas, ski pants, blue pants, brown pants, long pants, and just pants. The short skirt and silk covers may be the style in the eyes of the Parisian connoisseurs but un der the blizzardy stare of old man winter, anything that doesn't cover the ankle on up is "snow go." Gimme my boots. To keep the shapely ankle from the feathered ice the ingenious lassie has taken to the riding boots and with these leather cov ers comes the jodhpurs and riding breeches. One professor the other day came into class and viewed the majority of coeds shielded by skin following breeches and boots. He scratched his head and smiled quizzically and said, "Where are the horses?" These fur lined and trimmed enow suits look as if the big bad girl scared a, poor bunny out of his skin and then jumped in. A comely lass .walked into the Corn Crib past a couple of very puny fellows. One of the lads with his eyes trained on the bit of femi ninity garbed in a scarlet and cream ski suit said, "That girl surely looks keen in with pants on." The other guy bent his eyes inauisitivelv and remarked, A girl dressed in any other thing would look as sweet. And those frowsy things Then there are the girls with the white angora mittens. They look as if she (the girl) hail pet ted the family feline with a hand ful of glue leaving the cat bare. The knee-length Scottish socks that have come in for a lot of unfriendly criticism are now the password to feminine warmth. They may shorten the "beauty" and wir'en the calf, but they lengthen your life and narrow the 'bare-knees. Anything from last year s sweat shirt to a pair of disheart ened corduroys is the only ethical way of describing the college man's "sub" clothes. Backwoodsy. About the biggest rage in men's fashions today is the flannel lum berjack shirt of varied hue and multi-striped. They may be hard These backwoodsy hunting caps are a boon to the male cranial appendages which suffer with dropsy a la mercuritus. Their bright colors may chase away wdd game but they are a sure thing to attract "tame" (pro nounced "dame") game.

SO FAR the only couple who has shown any originality playing in the snow is Jane Cook, DG, and Fred Stiner, Phi Psi. A fully equipped, well- built igloo makes an imposing structure in the DG yard the architects say there is just "room for two," and they're holding open house for friends.

If you insist . . . Marry, but first ask yourself these questions . . . and be sensible "Don't propose on a moonlit night beside a lake unless you decided to the day before. You may be sure then that it was not the romantic setting that brought it about." Thus warned the Reverend Henry H. Lewis, speak ing to a University of Minnesota audience last week. And the minister warned the students further. "Don't get mar ried the first time you are des perately in love. Wait until you get your feet on the ground. There are too many persons who do and are sorry for it afterward." Then the minister gave seven warnings to remember before you take what is tritely known as the fatal plunge. 1. Do you love that person? 2. Remember when you marry a person you also many that per son's family. 3. Do you like the friends of the person you are planning to marry ? 4. It is all-important that a per son be proud of his life partner. 5. Happiness in marriage is much more likely to come when one of the artners is willing to give up his or her religion and join the church of the other. 6. You can be desperately poor and still be happily married if you have a hope or dream before you and you are constantly working for something better. 7. Tie your life to something big. Invest your life in something bigger than the two of you, in some unselfish work. Then you will find happiness. and survey division In a pamph- specific performance to be ac let offering advice to black gold complished within certain time Bell- Qalek and Cempleta Service In B18INKK8 nr.roRim kqtipmknt GeovQQBvor. n i h i r n or i-1 n surPiTt Ync7i Ofo yQJlno SUtloncrt amateur prospectors. limits. The two geologists discuss many of the more popular ana misleading "wild cat" theories which are supposed to indicate the presence of oil, some of which are absence of a good water supply in an area where water Is abund ant, shapes of the land surfaces, and the presence of rock outcrops which is believed to be the same as those exposed in known oil producing countries. Not sure of knowing It's there. The geologist also said that there Is no sure method of prov ing the presence of oil until a well is drilled, and declared the sur vey division of the university could do nothing to get a well drilled In any community. In another pamphlet concerning the leasing of land to oil com panies and prospectors, Dr. Con dra flays that oil and gas leases on Nebraska land should make definite provisions for the time of drilling, release of the land, and the amounts of the royalty, rent als, offsets, and property damage, The Three KlnKe Willan Tennemoe Mountain Morning Hymn Arr.

I would put their welfare before that of a small group." Civilization depends on democracy. "The achievements of civiliza tion should be enjoyed by all the people. Archaeology has seen too many civilizations crack because their achievements were in the possession of a few. Mexico had a high Intellectual development. But when Cortez sliced off the heads of the few in command, the whole thing dropped again to the level of peasantry." "Our civilization will continue as long as education Is the priv ilege of all. But those are bad signs when tuitions rise, weeding out the poorer students: when schools are shut down depriving some 50,000 children of schooling; when there is talk of taking the iight of suffrage from those un fortunate enough to be on relief."

Ho cannot understand why men who develop inventions, such as television, with comparative case refuse to put their energies Into plnnning a better social order. painless fashion if they want to," he says. "Yet we cling blindly to old values. Men think that if they have once invented a social order, it is holy. We hear much about the constitution as tho it were handed down by God when ac tually it was written by a bunch of politicians. It simply has the aura of antiquity about it." As he talked, Bell Jotted down some of his ideas. So succint a summary of his beliefs are they, that we reproduce them here. IDEAS OF EDUCATION, by Dr. Earl H. Bell. ' The best education is two men on a log trying to solve a problem. A class should be a democratic institution with a camaraderie be tween student and teacher. There is too much sham hocus pocus in education. Both students and teachers have a tendency to place the teacher on a little platform from which he hands out "education." The teacher then becomes a priest of education and all too often th priest and his sayings become con fused with the god and his will Many evils develop around priestly organization. And here I'd like to give you a tip. It is very rare that an institution is re formed by its priesthood or those within. Reform has always come from the layman outside. The priests soon get so many vested interests that they believe the in stitution exists for their benefit rather than the benefit of the people. I truly believe that edu cational reforms will be most like ly to come from the demands of the students. Democracy develops leaders. Autocracy develops leaders. Au tocracy develops docile boot lick ers. I resent docile students who sit anu write down without ques tioning the gems of knowledge that drip from the tongues of the professors and then hand them back in an examination. Such a process Is the opposite of edu cation and the greatest danger to democracy. It Is the leader prin ciple of naziism at its worst.
