Sig Alpha Jim Weesner contemplates his coke date. She'll
think he's mighty smooth in that blue and brown check sport
coat and brown slacks. His wool sport vest is tan, and the
brown hat, like the rest of his outfit, is from Simon's.

Romp 'Briefly
In Orchesis
BY JO KINSEY.
For more than 20 years mod
ern dance has held a prominent
place among girls sports on this
campus. This year it has par
ucuiariy come into its own in
connection with physical fitness
program of which the physical
education department is sponsor.
Orchesis is the advanced modern
dance group on the campus.
Orchesis derived its name from
the Greek, "art of dancing." The
majority of large colleges all over
the U. S. have a dance organiza
tion by this name, but Orchesis
is not a national group.
On this campus, Orchesis gives
its big production in the spring,
of original compositions and group
patterns. The group is sponsored
by the department of physical
education for women and Eileene
Lockhart, who came to Nebraska
for her first year as an instructor
this fall.
"Barefoot Dancing."
In 1920, modern dance at NU
was a minor sport. The Corn-
husker for that year carried a
paragraph about the contest held
for dancing and Indian club swing
ing. In 1925 the Dance Festival
was held out-of-doors and "bare
foot dancing," as it was called
seemed to be making progress
toward the major sport position
here.
Dance costumes have changed
as much as the conception of the
dance itself. In 1920. for instance,
the entire spring program was
given over to the Elfin type ere
ature with loosely draped costume
and short bobbed hair. In 1943,
the dance program will be a com
posite boogie woogie, waltz tern
pos and creative dancing, which
may mean anything. Costumes
will be adapted to the dance, and
the leotards which are used for
practice could best be described
as "brief."
Try-outs for this year were held
for grace, balance, originality and
quickness of learning. President
Evangeline Kubik has announced
the following girls as new mem
bers: Fiances Bleick, Eunice
Way, Ann Aherne, Helen Johnson

with the defense program. Gold's also carry those long rope
pearls so dear to the hearts of UN coeds.

Soft and hard base metals are

been taken over by the govern

Ceramics (clay pdoducts), wood,

of metals.
