Friday, March 6, 1942 3 2)aifu Ylekrashan presents . . . HletYs Spring Fashions Pattern Politics Puts Poe In Proprietious Position By Jean Baker. Having patterned their political policies after the present nalional administration, the Phi Delts have put up Bob Poe for a second term as Nebraska's BDOC. Although the honor last year brought him more "razzing than anything else," Bob is still bearing up wohderfully and has remained true to his for mer clothes policies. "I still prefer sports-wear for school, double-breasted suits to single-breasted, tux to tails and comfort to style," was Poe's all inclusive statement as to his clothes taste. When queried as to a compari son between the contest in '41 and the present Esquire sponsored one, Bob admitted the increased emphasis on politics in this year's voting: with each candidate receiv ing: the support of some organiza tion. "It is probably better though," he added, "since this year everyone has the opportunity to vote.': A Flaw! ! The only flaw in this year's se lect ion in Roh's nnininn is the fart that few candidates really needpf the clothes presented to the win ner. "Disregarding other consid erations, most of the fellows will soon be wearing nothing but army uniforms anyway," he concluded. "The distinction of Esquire's name is not to be ignored, however." Emphatically stating that neat ness and taste in clothes were all important, Bob deplored the ap parent concentration being placed on the continual wearing of suits by the candidates. He also de clared himself as decidedly against extreme and outlandish styles, placing himself in line with typical mid-western practicality in clothes. Longer coats are the past year's main contribution to any changing style in men s wearing apparel, according to Nebraska's outstand ing example of perfection. Bob reiterated his statement made at the time of winning the Who 9s Nebraska 's BDOC? Attend Prom and Find Out 1 v iiiii nun '' '' contest as '41 contest as to his owing any clothes taste he may have to the early influence of his mother and her insistence on neatness and care. He added further that he does not believe he has changed his methods and manners any in the year he has borne the coveted title of "Best Dressed Man on Campus." The interview was ended when the victim refused to reveal his prejudices as to Nebraska coeds' varied and sundry costumes. By Helen Kelley. ' This is guaranteed NOT to be a Junior-Senior paid ad. However, it IS about the BDOC and the only way to find out just who he is is to attend the Junior-Senior Prom tonight and dance to the "You Keptt Me in the Dark So Long; Oh How I Wish We'd Have a Blackout" band. Your BDOC was elected yesterday, and although it isn't proper to give hints, it is a well known fact that he had the most votes in that election which the "Rag" and Esquire sponsored. His identity has been so carefully guarded that he probably won't know enough to go himself. In that case the Elgin pocket watch, val ued at $75, will be auctioned off to help defray the cost of the dance. Bennie Burns. After the polls had closed yesterday and Bennie had burned all the ballots not in the pile for (?), the honest Rag staff counted the ballots and found that approximately 1,500 students voted in the most outstandingly successful contest ever held on the University of Ne braska campus. Tonight, this very eve, a BDOC will pocket a watch, get a title, and acquire three new outfits of clothes. Some haul! He will, so to speak, profit considerably. Not only that, two others, disappointed souls, will start clearing their walls. They will be the recipients of a year's subscription each to the fashion magazine Esquire. They are expected to start finding places for fashion pictures so they can model after those famous styles, and get to be BIG BDOC's next year. Beat Your Head. Well, guess there isn't much more to be said, except if you have any love in your hearts for the Innocent widows-to-be, beat yourself in the head and have a friend dig out a buck and a half and buy you a ticket. Else you had better buy lots of knitting needles and yarn so the lassies who are so unfortunate as to be tied up Innocently can keep busy while their "friends" wash dishes at a quarter an hour, all to pay the Innocent national debt. (And if they give me a by line on this, I'll have to leave town with the rest of the Innocents.)
