Fashion designer discusses ivell dressed woman at convo "A lady is a woman who does not call attention to herself," Royer, Hollywood fashion designer, told a convocation of students, both men and women, yesterday morn ing in the Union. A lady should follow three re quisites for being well-dressed. She must be well groomed "from the Inside out;" she must have good postire and good speech; and her clothes must show good taste and be appropriate to the occa sion. She would be "more of a lady" In a simple black crepe dress with a string of pearls or a gold orna ment, a cloth coat, attractive hat, shoes and gloves, than in a silver fox jacket, expensive but fussy dress decorated with various ban gles, and open toed shoes. Must devote life to art. "Culture has profits," but, ex plained Royer, those planning to take up art as a profession must be willing to devote tholr lives to all types of artistic expression. They must "serve art for art's sake with no side interests." The last half of Royer's talk was devoted to the vocational side of designing. He cautioned job seekers not to be overly ambitious, to take it slowly and to plan for the future. He suggested setting Official Newspaper Of More Than 7,000 Lincoln, Nebraska Capitol Personalities Presenting another newcomer in the unicameral: meet Senator George C.

Nevertheless when we asked the senator how well he was proceeding in his first term he woud only say: "I'm learn ing a lot." Agricultural legislation. Since Senator Weborg is a farmer and a live stock feeder himself, he is interested mainly in agricultural legislation. His L. B. 29 is designed to assist poor farm ers In holding their land. The measure provides that: 'It the second half of the previous year's taxes are the only taxes that are delinquent on real estate, that that real estate shall not be subject to sale." Another of his bills would provide for the re demption by the owner of real es tate sold for taxes. The senator is active in the discussion of the sev eral irrigation measures before the house. Before his election to the legis lature, Senator Weborg served for 20 years as a county commis sioner. a goal which will take several years to reach so that they will have an incentive. Law group hears ethics discussion Expressing his belief that the ethics of the legal profession makes a most inspiring study, Clinton J. Campbell, past presi dent of the Nebraska Bar asso ciation addressed the Young Advo cates last night on "Cannons of Ethics for Lawyers." "The lawyer isn't a business man; he isn't even a regular pro fessional man; he is part of the judicial system and as such is an officer of one of the three main branches of government." With this by way of qualification, Camp bell emphasized the responsibility borne by the lawyer and outlined a few of the major command ments of the profession. Prominent among the ethics of law, he listed the following rules: The lawyer shall not soMcit busi ness; he shall not stir up litiga tion; he shall not represent con flicting interests; he shall not ap propriate clients' fees; he must never reveal confidential informa tion entrusted to him; and finally he must never express his own beliefs in the courtroom. ) A I Si :;:J;s'::l Students Friday, February 21, 1941 Royer views Best Dressed contestants Twenty-two women vie for BDOC title at first style revue of series Twenty-two candidates for the title "Best Dressed Girl on the Campus" donned their most be coming campus outfits and ap peared before Royer, Hollywood dress designer, yesterday in the first revue preceding the election.

Basie a test. Norman Harris, business man ager of the Prom committee, in speaking of Basie, stated that stu dent support is imperative if big name bands are to be desired for future school parties. "This is a test," Harries said, "to see whether students will support a party with a big name band sufficiently to make that party a success. "In all probability, if this party is not the success the Prom com mittee and Innocents promised the faculty it would be, Basie will be the last big name band to play at a university party for many years." Initial arrangements for "The Count of Swing" were made by Reon Pauley, Turnpike owner, who agreed to "keep dark" the night of March 7, which is the date of the Prom. 4-II club elects officers Election of officers for university 4-H club was held at the last regu lar meeting.

Beneath the Golden Dome . . . Legislature kills hitch-hiking hill following student protest By Art Riven. You win fellows! Those of you who so ably defended hitch-hiking in the public works committee hearing Wednesday have your just reward. The committee struck from the bill the antihitch-hiking provision. Those parts of the proposed act which set down regulations for pe destrian traffic control were, how ever, approved. Committee chair man and introducer of the bill, AWS to judge Follies skits next week Skits for the Coed Follies will be judged next Wednesday and Thursday. Houses and organiza tions planning to try out must hand in a rough sketch of their skit at Mrs. Ada Westover's desk in Ellen Smith tonight and should be ready to present their entire skit before the judging committee of AWS next week.

UN tlehate team chosen last night At debate tryouts last night, four men were named to the team for this semester, H. A. White, de bate coach announced. Eugene Bradley and Jack Stewart will be members of the affirmative team and Edwin Carraher and Eugene Curtiss will uphold the negative. The four men were selected by judges from a group of nine. Those who tried out were Walter Crop per, Ewald Warnsholz, Wendell Basye, Don Farrens, and Edwin Dosek besides those selected for the team. Intervention is topic. . Resolved, that the United States should enter the war rather than see the defeat of the British em pire, was the topic for the debate. Each man spoke eight minutes and was Judged on both thought and delivery. Judges were George A. Healy, attorney, Evert M. Hunt and Fran cis B. Johnson. The judges were to break the tie if any of the four men were equal. Mr. White pointed out' that the four men chosen were only the first team and that at a later date it might be necessary for Mm to use other men who tried out last night Senator Mischke, bowed to wishes of the rest of the committee. Per haps it would not be out of place to point out that here is definite proof that legislators will listen to university students. Omaha night school To enable graduates of the Omaha night law school to take the state bar examination is the purpose of Senator Ernest Adams' L. B. 114. It has been moved up to select file but not without some powerful speeches accompanying its advancement. Senator Adams accused the American and State Bar associations of trying to put the school out of business. Said Senator George Sullivan, Omaha: "I'll tell you where the opposition to this bill is coming from high powered corporation lawyers. They started out to have night law school graduates settle their cases; but when the big com panies back east found out the young fellows were doing such good work they saw they didn't need high powered lawyers. And now the boomerang has hit those lawyers." Crops, weather are topics at ag meet today Announcement of a crops-weather relations conference today and tomorrow has been made by Dean W. W. Burr of ag college. The conference will involve some ex perimental work that has been un der way. An informal dinner is being planned for the group tonight in the Union at 6:30 p. m.
