Kosmet Klub's banner dipped and even dragged in the
dust this fall as all the forces of the elements were against it.
But it weathered the storm and still waves on!
Bliss to Reality.
Returning from a vacation to find an accelerated academic
year, Kosmet Klub actives began their plans for their annual
fall revue. In previous years the show was one of the bright
spots on the activity calendar and this is what they wished to
perpetuate.
It is hard to say what the first setback was that the Klub
received, but when the reverses started they came thick and
fast. Out of a clear sky came a bolt when 1'anhel, wilh many
different channels contributing-to the final effect, announced
that the sororities on this campus would not take part.
This is war. a fact that will remain without so many dif
ferent sources reminding us of it. Well, that was the reason
that sororities could not put together their talents to lake the

WANTED!
One, tall, dark, handsome, and
intelligent man by all the coeds
on the campus, of course but
even more desperately by the

leading role of Mortimer Brew

Tall, d;uk and handsome but
even these requirements could be
sacrificed if the man could read in
telligently, show his emotions con
vincingly, and make love on the

well as on a park bench under the

For Military Ball . . .
One Corsage Means Nine
More .30 Caliber Bullets
. . . For Fighting Men
' It does a fellow in uniform money he does put out is toward
good to know that his girl is be
hind the war effort even by so
small a thing as wearing war
stamp corsages," stated Cadf t Col.
Dick Arnold yesterday concern
ing the War Council's new idea
of victory stamp corsages for the
military ball.
One corsage, worth 50 cents in
stamps, will provide nine .30 cal
iber rifle bullets for our armed
forces.
Fust day sales of the military
ball corsages did not meet the
exp.vtations of the War Council.
All cadets and men students who
plan on attending the ball are
asked to purchase these red, white
and blue corsages for their dates.
Regular Booths.
The regular war stamp sales
booths, where the military ball
corsages will be sold, will be
manned by representatives of the
fraternities and men's co-ops un
til Friday afternoon at 3:40 p.m.
No corsages may be purchased
after that date.
The coupons given at the time
an order for a corsage is given
will be redeemable Dec. 3 and 4
for the flower-like corsages made
of five 10-cent war stamps tied
with a red, white and blue Starred
and striped ribbon. Furchase
price of the corsages are 60 cents
apiece.
Cadet Colonel Arnold, disregard
ing the military angle, expressed
hi personal thoughts by stating:
"From the boy's point of view
tne girl's date is not required to
put out so much money for
flowers, and he knows that what
a worth-while and lasting cause."
The sale of the corsages will
not disturb the regular Thursday
war stamp sale day activities.
Students may purchase their quota
of war stamps from the regular
booths as in the past.
The corsages will be made at
cost by the Rosewcll Floral com
pany, which is co-operating with
this effort of the War Council.

Taking over the place vacted by
Ralph Reeder, who resigned to be
come ag college editor, Ellsworth
DuTeau will edit the Nebraska
Alumnus with John Jay Douglas,
senior at UN, as assistant editor.
Reeder's last issue of the Alum
nus, that for November, which
came out yesterday, is an attrac
tive and well illustrated edition
and the editor's resume of his
years at UN and the people he
knows make an interesting ending
to his career on the Alumnus.
Starts in Publicity.
To begin his journalistic oc
cupation, Ralph Reeder started
out by working in the University
publicity department. "I was," he
writes, "editorial assistant to Law
rence Pike, who was assistant to
Robert Crawford, who was assist
ant to Chancellor Burnett. In other
ords I was in a direct line for the
chancellorship."
The people he met considers a
cross-section of humanity "some
quaint, some dull, some admirable."
Also notable in the November
Alumnus is art article by Edna
D. Bullock titled "My Alma Mater
Reminiscences of an 89er." This
is one of Miss Bullock's series of
University Sketches and describes
student life as it seemed in the
'80s. Particularly good in these
pages are the photographs of early
campus scenes such as U Hall.

128 Men Report for First Meeting
Of New Physical Fitness Class
Kcporting for the first meeting in the now
physical fitness course, offered by the uni
versity, were 128 men who turned out Mon
day evening to receive their first instructions
from Dr. K. (!. Clnpp, supervisor of the course.
Deciding on the time at which. the course
should be offered and ironing out many other
details were the main topics under discussion
at the first meeting.
Because of the short amount of time left
before the current holiday season, training will
not officially begin until Nov. 30, the first
Monday after vacation. Since the curricula
of the course is progressive in nature, Dr.
Clapp felt it would not be wise to start the
training until that time.
However, the opinion was expressed that
any individual desiring to physically prepare
himself for the course should see Dr. Clapp
or any of the instructors in charge for indi
vidual fitness schedules between now and
Nov. 30.
This course, planned for instruction to all
male students interested from 5 till 6:30 every
week-day afternoon, is not a substitute or has
not been offered competitively with that one
offered by the military department on Sat
urday mornings.
Basic Course.
It is not a commando course involving com
mando tactics, but initially a physical fitness
course supplementing the commando course
taught by the military department under the
supervision of First Lt. Robert Adams.
The reason for promoting this course was
'to provide the students, both military ami
civilian, wilh a means of building up their
