lost after she gave it back from
their first pinning. . .Friday saw

Edwards and Ruth Denny, Tri
D,Mt pledge, went hunting with
By Deck. Phi Gam, and his fi
ancee, Mary McKenna, lovely Tri
Delt to whom he gave a beautiful
sparkler last summer. And by the
way. Ruth is far from missing
the lovely mark herself .. .Also at
the Phi Delt house party were Bill
Fox and Marjorie Holm of Omaha.
They viewed the game together,
too... Seen dancing at the Corn
Cob-Tassel party with all us oth
ers were Tassels Phyllis Cope and

riculture extension division, main
tained that the farmers of the na
tion must plan for present and
post-war activities.
"Plenty of available food at the
close of the war will be the great
est need and will have a decided
influence in restoring the rights
of mankind to a peaceful world,"
he said. "Intensive, rather than
extensive, production is what is
needed in the present emergency."

The Clothes Line
On of lloosier iMnd
came the. back and white blitzkrieg to
crush the high riding hopes of Husker foot
ball world but maybe it was just another of
those things destined to be. With an eye
towards the old axiom "It isn't whether you
won or lost, it's how you played the game"
everybody swung into the color and festiv
ity of the typical gala homecoming. Bright
lights, old friends, gay houseparties, the
election of the new pep queen and a thou
sand other events all went to blot out the
defeat and turn conversation toward the Ti-ger-Husker
dash come next Sattiday. We
live in the future.
Number One
this week and every week on your enter
tainment hit parade is the Student Union.
For a good all around program of activities
that cover a wide scope of interests and
likes, social director Tat Lahr seems to con
sistently roll up three Bell Fruit Gums to
hit the fun jackpot.
WTe stopped for a moment in our gala
Tanting around to glance over the list of
things on the Union social docket for the
next seven day stretch. On Monday eve you
can pass your spare moments at the Coast
Guard movies scheduled for a showing in
parlors X. Y and Z. Next Sunday after
noon's activities will be featured by the
first faculty recital, to be given in the ball
room at 3:00. And for something that packs
a wallop in both entertainment and learn
ing take a few minutes off and drop around
for the classes in social and square dancing.
And these are but a few of the activities
for you and you and you. Don't forget such
pleasant old standby as the Book Nook,
the Music room, and the Ping Pong tables
People who are having fun are spending
their spare time at the Union.
You II Make New Friends
and meet old cronies when you coke and
lunch at Buck's Coffee Shop, across the
street south from the campus. You 11 see
such consistent coffee and coke hounds as
Thi Psi campus crier Carl Harnsburger and
partner in ''snoop .to conquer" activities
Ruthie McMillan gathering their tid bits
, there for the 11 o'clock social dope dispen
sary on KFOR. Make Buck's your between
classes rendezvous.
Zl's Here
. . . Fall we mean, even though it's some
what disguised under the sunshine and heat
so typical at the game Saturday. There's no
telling when you'll awaken some morn to
find grey clouds scuttling across the sky and
those sharpened fall zephyrs whipping
around the eaves. And for that kind of
weather, you'll need ... a jaunty hat from
Nancee's," 103 So. 13th. For instance it
might well be one of the raved about beanies
which are prim and proper on the coed's
head, and only cost $1.00 ... or a pert
porkpie, the thing for wear with your
sports wardrobe. Like the seasons, styles
change ... so be ahead with a head topped
by a hat from Nancee's.
Taking the Trek
to Missouri Tigerland this coming weekend
will be Innocents Paul Svoboda, Ed Cal
houn, Morton Margolin, Walter Rundin,
Don Steele, Jim Selzer, Chris Petersen,
Hugh Wilkins, Jack Stewart and Harold
Bacon. They'll be leaving early Friday for
itinerary plans call for a stop at the Elms in
Excelsior Springs, Mo.
Seems like the Elms is planning a big
party on both Friday and Saturday eve
nings for Nebraska folks, what with a huge
plantation dance, special darkie floor shows,
and all of the other niceties that go with a
good time. And it's all for Cornhusker foot
ball transients, too.
On your trip to the Tiger-Husker how
down, put the Elms on your stopover list
both going and coming from the game. And
your pockelbook will be happy to know that
everything including dining,' lodging, break
fast and a good time w ill cost you only $5.00.
Make your reservation now for the fun at
the Elms with Manager Ray Hedges at the
Capital Hotel.
Your Silvencare
is an intimate part of your home furnish
ings, and for such fortunate people as Phi
Psi Bob Rhydman and Kappa Shirley Hoff
man, who are contemplating married life,
we present a striking silverware pattern rich
in design on a heraldic motif "King Rich
ard," exclusive at Gardner's. The style of
the English Renaissance is striking and un
usual when reflected in the beautiful carved
scrolls. You'll see these as well as other
distinctive patterns at Gardner's, 1220 "0"
street.
Topping the Guest
lists at all popular parties these days is
Fairmont's innovation in the fine dessert
world that much talked about, thought
about ice cream pie with delicious straw
berry filling.
Iast Saturday night saw the Kappa Sigs
inaugurating their series of fall fireside
dances at the house with such people as
Lew IiChr and Helene Marcey, ala Kappa,
finishing fheir evening off with coffee,
doughnuts, and the new taste sensation
ice cream pie. Yes, all this and heaven, too,
quite literally.
Your dinners, parties, and luncheons will
be remembered too when you treat your
guests to Fairmont's ice cream pie. So
typical of Fairmont products, it scores a hit
on three points delectability, depend
ability, and economy. Try it and you'll
buy it at your favorke drug store or by
order direct from Fairmont's.
A Word to the Wise
is sufficient, according to Confusion, Bugs
Baer, Joe Ixuis or somebody, so it is that
the latest communique from the Cornhusker
picture front in Rudge's Studio warns that
the early bird who gets his picture proofs
now is saving himself much ado about noth
ing later. To satisfy your own curiosity and
to speed up the yearbook photography ma
chinery, get your proofs on time. And don't
forget, too, that it is a wise idea to preserve
for the future by ordering a set of personal
photographs from Rudge's to be made from
your yearbook photo.
The Choice of Royalty
who demand distinction by simplicity and
glamour is the Miss Agnes Beauty Salon in
the Cornhusker Hotel for it is her staff of
competent beauticians who care for the
coiffure of elegant EloLse Rogers, Countess
to be in the Court of Ak-Sar-Ben this Fri
day night.
And the Countess is not alone in her
choice for it is the economical yet extremely
competent work of thoroughly trained and
experienced stylists that makes Miss Agnes'
Beauty Salon the hair headquarters of such
other popular coeds on the campus as Kap
pa Rosemary Krause and Theta Betty
O'Shea. Beautiful hair is your most valu
able asset leave its care in good hands!
