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

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.

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.)

Men Wore Dodos
Once, Now They
Wear We shits
The old vest is now a "dodo,"
but new sporty "weskits" are dis
tinctly in the style picture, and
are becoming more and more pop
ular with collegians throughout
the country.
Stores are showing flashy
checked or contrasting colored
"weskits" to wear with any new
spring outfit.
Fashion magazines predict that
the "weskits" will be worn with
sports coats, loafer jackets, or any
kind of coat. All that is needed
is a pair of pants.
