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

has introduced seven bills himself
and has been a co-sponsor of
eleven more.
Plus that, he is also a member
of the agriculture, government and
labor committees. 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.

Junior-Senior
Prom ticket
sale to begin
Arrangements for the Junior
Senior Prom, featuring Count
Basie and his orchestra, were near
ing completion last night with the
Prom committee's announcement
that tickets would probably go on
sale Monday in the Union office
and at John K. Selleck's office in
the coliseum. The price of dance
tickets is $1.50 a couple, and 35c
apiece for spectators' tickets.
The committee, stating that the
affair would be formal, disclosed
that corsages would not be nec
essary. The main feature of the
closing formal of the season will
be the election and presentation
of the 1941 Prom girl. Votes will
be cast at the door. Filings will
open Wednesday in Selleck's of
fice. 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.

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."
