Materialization of long-awaited plans for a men's dormitory

Miss Margaret Fedde
Resigns Home Ec Post
After the excitement of sealing
the cornerstone to the new foods
and nutrition building, and after
the dramatic stump-speech of
dedication by Dean W. W. Burr,
a little lady, dressed in black, who
previously stood unnoticed in the
handful of spectators, worked her
way slowly, with bowed head to
the speakers soap-box. Miss Mar
garet Fedde, chairman of the
home economics department was
her name. Her eyelashes fluttered
. . . she wiped her eyes with a fra
gile embroidered hanky... she
clearrd her throat. ..a hush fell
over the on-lookers as she began
to speak in a faltering, wavering
voice... "The cornerstone to my
life's ambition, the new foods and
nutrition building, has been laid

now, as I see it, it is only proper
and fitting that I hand in my
resignation to let some other de

dreams." I hope that..."

and gallantly to her side as she

Awgwan Features
Meiv Styles-Keally!
This is not an April Fool's story. This is the truth. Hon
estly, it is.
This month's Awgwan is coming out today. This is not an
April Fool's story.
And what's more, editors say it has the most paces, the
best features, and the funniest jokes of any magazine thus far.
This is the truth.
It's the Awgwan's fashion edition, and it is a big one. All
of the latest styles for both men and women are graphically
shown with campus euties and smooth boys doing the modeling.
This is not an April t ool s story.

Two pages are devoted to the
coverage of the ATO storybook
ball and the ag party. And two
pages show inside, quite intimate
shots, taken at the Coed Follies.
There's also a feature on Lincoln's
air corps men. Really.
The front cover is an unusual
product of photog aphic imagina
tion, for it is a composite picture
of Dinny Ford, the storybook ball,
h. ; iiO-lZi&s, and a well-known

the pictures. And this is the truth.
This month's Awgwan is the
