1 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Wednesday, April 17; 1940 JPul TThtv Oh, there'sa lull in my life, sings sassiety's snooper As the days pass, there finally has to be a time when there is a lull. . . when nothing happens. . . when no one has taken a pin, de cided to go steady or broken up. That is the predicament now. . . It certainly is a lull of a life. MAN ON SECOND rang through the corridors of Ray mond hall the other day when one of the members of the masculine species made a very grave mistake. (Yes, again.) That is, by taking one of the inmates seriously when she answered his question "How can I find Miss So and So?" by replying: "Why, she lives on. sec ond, just take the stairs inside." And he did. Of course he was met by a chorus of girls and they all ushered him down the stairs he had just so jovially climbed. SIPPING AWAY a few minutes in the Union were Thetas Betty Dodds and Ruth Mc Millan with DU Bob Wherry and Bill Milek. Also Alpha Chi Kay Park with Acacia Burton Thiel. IT'S SMOOTH SAILING again for Kappa Mary Beeson who finally realized that absence does make the heart grow fonder and she and Sigma Nu Duke Schotts are back together again. They say too, that Sigma Nu Howard Mar shall is back at the Alpha Phi house and will be seen Saturday night with Janet Moon. A NEW PLEDGING is announced at the Phi Psi house today and it is that of Pete Kriescher. TONIGHT the Pi Phi's will have an exchange dinner with the Tri Delta and the Kappas will entertain members of the faculty at a dinner. BANK NIGHT must have sounded forth for the Sig Alphs last night for they really collected or "cashed in" on Just one candy passing. This took place at the DG house when Margie Krause treated the sisters to candy, and the brothers accompanied cigar-passer Bill Wellinger, over that way. After receiving the glad tidings from Margie, they started in on Pat Reitx, who was for a day maybe, pinned to John Guthrie. The boys then headed homeward and on the way saw Chi Omega Yvonne Costello, who is pinned to Vike Francis, and warned her that she was the next victim. Her de nial of the fact seemed to dare the boys and they followed her Into the house to, once more, pay their fondest respects. Wow nice goin' fellahs. IF YOU HAVE TRIED and have not won, never stop for crying, all the great and good is America should continue to buy gold, says Gilmorc It would be inexpedient for the United States to abandon its gold buying policy because of the effect on the international situation, Dr. E. A. Gilmore, jr., of the depart ment of economics told Rotarians of York last week. "Since loans to Britain and France are forbidden by the neu trality act, the allies must rely on buying American supplies on gold shipments or bank balances al ready acquired here," he pointed out. 'The latter are of a substan tial size, but a refusal to buy more gold would cause some hardship and would be regarded as an un friendly action, which this govern ment would be unlikely to take. Two-thirds of the Badger state's lawyers are graduates of the Uni versity of Wisconsin law school.

This seems to really describe the tech nique of ATO Bob James for he has finally been promoted to the head of the list as far as Tri Delt Ruth Grant's affections are con cerned. CANDY DESCENDED on the Sig Eps Monday night, passed by Verna Boyles, the SPE's housemother, who has just been pin-hung with diamonds. The Al pha Chi's active and alum pre sented her Saturday with a dia mond lyre in honor of her long service to the sorority. Men's clothes aim to please By Donald Bower. Man thinks then dresses. Those who think differently, dress differ ently. If the pattern of thought is widespread, definite, and pre cise, men's clothes offer a marked reflection of this thought. Why did men's styles take on a frayed appearance, sloppy trousers and all, ten years ago, in the midst of widespread depression? It was his reaction to the depres sion. Today the general trend of men's fashions throughout the country (set by the college man) is toward comfortable but fashion able in a swing toward a new consciousness of wearing . apparel as a necessary investment for fu ture business and professional success. Seeking to please. College men, seeking to please the opposite sex, faculty, and cam pus visitors, and still be comfort able, have compromised with the stilted form of dress. They have decided to wear plenty of color and be comfortable, not the un pressed, baggy-panted and ragged sort of comfort but the easy and fashionable kind exemplified by the wardrobes including several pairs of slacks, contrasting sport coats, tweeds and hard worsted suits for dressier occasions than ordinary "classroom wear, and rak ish, colorful hats. Shirts go lighter. Shirts for spring and summer will be on the lighter side, air conditioned by mesh and leno weaves. These porus fabrics take pattern and color as well as the regular madras and broadcloth and are just as impervious to shrinkage. Slacks are beginning to appear as summer approaches, those in herringbone and tweed effects, pleated in front and worn with contrasting sport coats, more prominently hued this sea son and marked by generous un stinted plaids being preferred. Bare heads are becoming a rarity, the khaki hat assuming a popular position as an Integral part of knock-around campus dress. Several variations of the hat have been noted, the most pre valent being the corduroy "pork pie." Stephen Jelinek gets return from photo-reporting course A college education pays for it self in the long run, but for Stephen Jelinek, arts and science senior, it jumped the gun, for he is already realizing a return on his investment in Journalism 171 a course of advanced reporting and photography. Stephen's num erous photographs have been ac cepted and published In such jour nals as the Omaha World-Herald, Collegiate Digest (a national sup plement featured in the DAILY) and The Open Road for Boys.

Col legiate Digest has featured three of his photographs, and The Open Road for Boys (his latest con Here are a few statistics on you, the man-chasers Speaking of statistics and there is no better time to speak of them, here are a few pertinent ones on you, the women. Our figures are compiled from a survey of 3,000 coeds, so here's the stuff, on stuff. In a typical year the average girl would have quite a round of activities to cover. She would have 210 quarts of "coke" to im bibe, and 20 pounds of candy to ruin her complexion with, not to mention 20 feet of chewing gum to chew. 55 study days Seven and a half days would be squandered 4n the movies and 55 days devoted to study to compen sate for the 99 classes cut. Preparing for her 80 days of dates, she would sleep 115 days for beauty, spend three days put ting her hair up, and 16 combing it, bathe 90 hours, and zip 1,000 zippers. She would also turn down 125 dates, receive five declarations of tender sentiments, and be the ob ject of 500 kisses (these include steadies), which transaction would speed the yearly consumption of six inches of lipstick. 13 days telephoning Besides these pursuits, she would spend 13 days clinging to a telephone. In the chase for the opposite sex she would annihilate 50 pairs of stockings, absorb two pounds of cold cream, and' buy a quart of "My Sin" or "Moonlight Madness" perfume. All for what? A man, my dear! Intersorority ride tryouts to start The intersorority ride, an event of the annual Farmer's Fair, will take place this year on Saturday, May 4, on the ag campus. Any girl enrolled in the university and in terested in riding may enter; she does not have to belong to the University Girls' Riding Club. Twelve entries for the ride will be chosen in a tryout to be held a week preceding, on April 27, at Shreve's Riding Academy. The participants in the elimination will draw for horses; this will ensure fair competition. The twelve who are chosen by the judges for the intersorority ride will draw again for horses immediately after the tryout. They will thus have a week to practice on the horse they ride May 4. Horses from both Boom er's and Shreve's stables will be used. Girls interested in entering anouia rue tneir names immedi ately with Lillie Luttgen at the Al pha Phi house.

For most of his work Stephen uses the journalism department's Speed-Graphic (a camera, used universally by newspaper photo' graphers). His own camera is a small Foth-Derby. Stephen's film phenaglings have paid for his photography course, and have given him a helping hand on his other curricular expenses, He has used 187 rolls of film since last September. His next step in the photographic field will be the making of movies. The ultimate aim of this enterprising lad is to enter pictorial and photographic journalism.

Already women s fashion maga zines are featuring clothes for the country, for early vacations, or for sports wear in town. Fashion's darlings this year are the wash able slack outfits with shirts and trousers to match. They're every color, from black to red, with yel low, blue, green and tan In be tween. And some of them are plaids or checks, but they're all washable. Detachable hoods. Something else to attract every woman's eye, as well as the men's are the hoods, most of them de tachable. They all have little peaked points, and come far out over the face to save the lily-white skin from the big, bad sun, and are lined in contrasting colors. But if you play tennis or bad minton, sports clothes experts rec ommend the longer shorts, you know, the kind that come almost down to your knees, with very full pleats so you can play a champion ship game and still look fresh. For the feet To wear with your sports clothes, there are either wedges or mocassins or, if you're ultra-con servative, just plain, old saddle shoes. But your sports clothes this year won't be undecorated, or undecora tive. There are all kinds of cute little gadgets from bobbing cork necklaces to gay little animals carved in wood. And to finish it off, one of the newest things is splits in sleeves, tentionauy, of course. Tennis dresses have only the tops of sleeves, leaving your arm free for that championship serve.

A woman's hat, however, is not trite. Originality (that mad- folly type) perches itself on every woman's fair locks. Wandering through the want-ad page one reads such ads as: Want edold iron, tin pans, stuffed birds, old clothes, coffee-grounds, etc. Bewilderment ensues, the read er questioning the sanity of the person paying for such nonsense. Then his wife comes home. An swering his wife's "Hello, dear," he asks where she has been. "Shopping," is the retort, followed by an undoing of bundles. The hus band, his curiosity aroused -as to where his money has gone, watch es her as she finds something to try on. At last she puts something on her head. (Need this go on) Well, hubby looks, decides to laugh and tell his wife to remove that rummage sale from her head, but notices "a gleam in her eye" (avery nasty gleam) and decides that she bought that conglomera tion of sundry articles to wear as a hat. The next evening, reading the want-ads, he ran across a very familiar ad: "Wanted Old iron, tin pans, stuffed birds, old clothes, . coffee grounds, etc." ; Bewilderment does not ensue.
