What a week-end ahead! Mili
tary Ball -Alpha Phi formal
Sigma Nu Pigge Dinner. . . . And
speaking of the Sigma Nu's out
atanding affair of the season, we
hear it s to be quite the deal com
plete with extra-good band and
everything fun Chi O Estelle
Linneman who has been constant
ly escorted about by Farm House
Dale Broekmeier has a date to
the Military Ball with another
Farm House lad who refuses to
break the date, but insists upon
protecting his own interests. . . .
Pi Phi Shirley Wiley has Friday
night circled on her calendar, for
the important one in her life is
arriving from Wichita. ... A new
ard mighty interesting combina
tion that bears watching is Max
ine Smith of Hughes Hall and
Vern Moseman of the Pioneer Co
op. ... And another couple to
keep your eye on is Pat Sand of
Howard Hall and Steve Grosserod,
who from reports are on the se
rious side. . . . Equally mutual
are Sigma Nu Pete Egington and
Kapoa Pat Fulton who are taking
in both the Military Ball and That
Sigma Nu Pigge Dinner. . V . This
line about losing one's pin seems
to be catching, for Delta Sig Joe
Anderson swears he's misplaced
his and that it is not with Joan
Eby, Kappa Delt. . . . Consider the
case of Tri Delta trick Pat Putney
and Phi Psi's Jack Zimmer. . . .
They're dating, and lots.

week end. . . . Seems Grace re
quested a date "gray at the tem
ples and 6" 2". ... so Frank Egan
of the university library staff has
agreed to oblige and plans to show
up for his date with cornstarch
in his hair. . . . He'd even
shrink an inch, if possible. . . .
Another couple dancing at the
Ball will be Indiana's Fred Case
and Theta Pat Chamberlain and
North Carolina's Bill Cochrane
and Kappa Janie Titus. . . . Saw
a lovely import from Omaha yes

Men Prefer
Wing Collars
For Mili Ball
Consensus of opinion at Ne
braska is that wing, not lay-down
collars are the thing to wear for
the Military Ball Friday night.
Comments Jim Lindbcrg. whose
father is a custom tailor, "Wings
went out years ago." "Lay-downs,
of course!"
Walt Rundin agrees with Lind
berg. "No one wears wing rollars
anymore but Cluck (Millard), and
he just wears them because he is
stubborn and won't change."
Dick Martin is on the fence. He
likes wing collars, but won't wear
them. f
Ed Calhoun and Don Shaney
felt are the only two men Jriter
viewd who like wing collars nnd
wear them. "They look a lot better
than downs," they ray,
Dwiglit Butler, clothing sales
man at a downtown men's utore,
agrees with Calhoun and Shaney
felt. "Wings are the dressiest and
are the most fitting to wear with
a tux tothe ball."
All the rest of the men inter
viewed advocate lay-downs. Max
Laughlin advises dows because
they are more comfortable and
they are easier to put on. Jack
Ranz, Jack Rokaha and Sheldon
Kaufman agree.

Funny Fancies
"Did you see him . . .?" "Say,
do you know who I invited . . .?"
"Won't it be fun . . .?" "I can't
really afford it but . . ." Only at
one time during the year does an
observer hear such conversation
among girls. It is the prologue to
the annual Mortar Board party.
To the upperclassmen or rather,
the upperclasswomen, the whole
affair is "old stuff," but to the
sweet and fair young freshmen it
is one of the most momentous
events of a life time. However, the

Former Museum

display in the lower corridor of the
former museum.

About such things are the fresh
men women questioning their
Coed-Counselor Sig sisters or the
girl next door who went last year
and knows all about it. Questions,
the answers to which are pryed
from these wise women run uome
thing as follows:
You just ask him the same way
he asks you? Is that right?
What kind of a boutonnaire do you
send him ? Do you actually have to
furnish the transportation ? Do you
have to take him to dinner? Do
you spend a lot of money? Do you
treat him just like he treats you?
Do you kiss him goodnight like. . ."
And so it goes. Such is the ex
tremely complicated and confused
life of a freshman.
