Third candidate for the position
of N-club's queen of all Nebras
ka's queens, during her freshman
year Alice was selected as one
of the six 1941 beauty queens by
George Potty, well-known in cam
pus circles for his exquisite taste
in glamorous women.
To return for a minute to her

Saying that her heart is in
the right place means just that
she is wearing Ren Bukacek's
Kappa Sig sweetheart pin. More
emphatic than that is the fact
that they passed candy and cigars
about a month ago, and eat Sun
day supper together regularly.
Affiliated with Kappa Alpha
Theta, Alice is their panhellenic
representative, as well as their
star badminton player. She es
pecially likes to swim, dance, and
picnic (with Ren, of course). And
she rides a mean, bucking rock
ing horse, as proved at the recent
Alpha Phi house party.
In keeping with her sportiness,
Alice sticks to sports casual
clothes, her favorite outfit being
blue cords and a rust lacket. with
anklets and flats, of course. Gar
denias are her favorite flowers.
