Thursday, October 17, 1940 Students chop wood in course, gather hlisters Blisters, blisters and more blis ters tell the story of the girls who are chopping wood for the prac tical work in the Campcraft course. Groups of girls under the direction of Miss Barbara Ellen Joy have been going out each day to ag campus to build fires, pitch tents and in other ways limber up their muscles. Incidentally, if you have been wondering what the two big piles ' of wood at ag were for, fires are the answer. Lectures on knives and hatchets, fire building and outdoor cooking are given each evening at 5 in Grant Memorial. This evening the class will cook supper outdoors. Members will be divided into several grtnips with a leader for each. Each group will cook its own supper separately. Another outdoor meal will be cooked Saturday noon. The entire course, both practical work and reading, must be completed by Saturday for qualification ior the campcraft certificate. Coeds decide blouses best photo attire Sorority women, as a whole, have decided that blouses, of any color or shade, and adorned by pearls or clips, will be the attire worn for the Cornhusker pictures. Mr. Townsend feels that blouses give the best appearance for the pictures in the sorority section of the year book. Fraternities are instructed to wear the usual suit coats, white shirts, and ties. Pictures should be taken at Townsend Studios, 226 So. 11th street, and will cost $1.25. Each sorority or fraternity has two spe cific weeks in which to have its members and pledges go to the studio for their pictures. Several other Greek houses have the same two weeks period. The first fra ternity or sorority which has 100 percent turnout to the studio be fore any of the other fraternities or sororities, which are competing in the 6ame week, will receive a copy of the 1941 Cornhusker free.

Old-school newsmen used to grumble from time to time: "Women make bum news papermen." But dis ain't da old school, see ? What we had in mind was news that co-eds at the Uni versity of California have broken down the tradition that the editor of The Daily Californian must be a man. Miss Sarah Henderson, 21, of Pasadena, majoring in political science and "queen of college jour nalists," has won the master minding job. Harvest scene thcnie for annual Fanners Formal Students will walk up a path covered with fall leaves into a har vest scene at the annual Farmer's Formal slated for Saturday night in the ag activities building.

College 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 brains, 75 percent of the men said. Fifteen percent said she lacks personality and 10 percent were of the opinion that conversational ability is missing. In order to be successful at man catching, a girl must, according 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 num ber 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 comments were not so strongly against smoking as against drinking. Opinions on the girl who asks a man to parties when he has never dated her were divided evenly. "How much Clo you like girls to talk?" brought forth the an- Casady presents plaque to Thetas At a mass meeting of the AAW Oct, 9, Hortense Casady, presi dent, presented Kappa Alpha Theta with the intramural plaque won by that sorority in the 1939-40 intramural season.

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 streetcar if his car Wear light red lipstick ior your Yearbook photo "Wear dark lipstick on the campus, but not while having your picture taken," emphasized Mr. Townsend in giving advice to sorority girls who are soon to be photographed for the Cornhusker. "Light red lipstick is preferable to the other, which photographs so very dark that the lines of the mouth are extenuated and the lips appear heavy," continued Townsend, who is owner of the studio where sorority and frater nity pictures are to be taken. Very little rouge should be used, and the hair should be fixed as you naturally wear it. Hair photographs more . beautifully when you do not come direct from the beauty salon," he said, i This year the sororities and fraternities have been divided into groups, each of which are sup posed to have their pictures taken within a specified two weeks. If the houses cooperate with the Cornhusker staff it will greatly facilitate and simplify the work, and will also avoid the rush that usually comes near the deadlines for sittings.

In considering the relative merits of dancing and conversa tional ability, 97 percent of the men asserted that conversation al ability Is much more essential.

Daily Collegian. s. - Being plastered and being drunk not same at Rag Dear Reaaer;: Boy, were we plastered in the NEBRASKAN office yesterday. The whole place was a mess. And one guy was the cause of it all. The layman always thinks of a newspaper office as a congrega tion of screwballs, and often won ders how the paper ever comes out. But he wouldn't suspect that be ing plastered was a prerequisite to being a newsman. One might think that being a newspaperman would be excuse enough to be plas tered, but you wouldn't necessarily be a newspaperman because you were plastered. Incidentally, the plaster was on the ceiling and a union man was applying it deftly. We didn't touch a drop.
