An autographed football, auto
graphed by the team, was given
away at the Barb Council dance
last night. An autographed foot
ball would be welcomed by any
Nebraska fan but that isn't
what's news. Clarence Heath had
the door number 198, and when
Helen Elizabeth Claybaugh, Barb
Council president, called the win
ning number, 198, no one was as
surprised as Clarence Heath.
Going up to accept the prize,
Clarence replied to Miss Clay
baugh's congratulations, "This is
all of great interest to me. I'm
Clearance Heath, and I hail from
KANSAS STATE. Small world,
isn't it?"

Coeds search for something
unusual for formal season
In just a short while you'll be
stepping out to formals by the
dozens. This thought brings up the
question of what kind of a formal
dress you can get that's different.
Magazines and stores have all
fall been arguing the question of
whether it will be smarter to wear
a so-called "covered-up" formal or
to have one quite decollete. But
we say it makes no difference.
What matters is that the dress
suits its wearer.
Covered-up?
At first this fall "they were
showing" a few more covered-up
than decollete frocks. Now maga
zines and stores seem to be verg
ing more to decollete.
Most popular thing to be seen
in new colors is "champagne" an
off-white shade with a tinge of yel
low in it. It seems to fit especially
in formals of rayon jersey and taf
feta. Much gold embroidery is seen
on the jersey ones.
Another new shade lends itself
rto rayon jersey admirably. That is
"""mountie rod," inspired by the
color work in the movie, "North
West Mounted Police." Blues,
greys, white and sand are also
popular.

rayon faille taffeta is one formal
in particular. It falls in fluid lines
from a fitted bodice and has a
sweeping skirt. Its unusual note
is a huge rayon velvet streamer
and bow falling down the back.
Less formal, yet equally en
trancing, is a shirtwaist frock of
rayon crepe with patch pockets on
its skirt. As usual, there are all
types of dresses for all typs 01
girls. There are fluffy nets, suave
jerseys and crepes, decollete and
high - necked models, sequin
trimmed and plain, and floating
chiffons.
Besides using these many dif
ferent types of chesses, there are
many other things one can do to
be "different" in the formal world.
One is to wear a sequin-embroidered
basque jacket over your
rather ordinary decollete gown. Or,
you may wear a western studded
belt for that added touch. Star
shaped rhinestone clips on each
side of the neckline will help the
effect of your simple gown.
Striking features.
Striking features are to be found
in evening wraps this year. One
we've seen is a stiff white felt
short evening coat cut on oriental
lines. The Far Eastern effect is
aided by appropriate jewelry on
head and at wrists.
lively is the winter evening
cape of snowy white "toddy bear"
fleece. Lir.ed with bright colors and
caught with unusual fasteners, the
cape will assure its wearer that
she's original.
These are just a few of the de
vices you may use to further your
desire to be different- something
to think about.
