This is going to be a dissertation
on how to entertain your date to
the Mortar Board party or how
to go stark, raving mad in one
evening.
The first problem in this time of
strife is to find a means of trans
porting the two-logged animal
known as man from place to place
It would simplify matters if he
didn't expect dinner, but as he
does you can sign your life away
tryine to ret a space in a car
transporting six couples already.
Snow Plow?
Now you plow your way thru
the snow that the pledges forgot
to shovel only to find admittance
is allowed at the back door. Don't
get mad when the fellas won't call
your date, it's up to you to see
that he has an exceptional time.
The Betas take great joy in watch
ing the bewildered looks of a poor
feminine creature, waiting for her
date to get hungry enough to come
down of his own free will, far be
it from them to call the youn,
man. The Phi Psi's on the other
hand, make things as embarrass
ing as possible with a "call g'rl"
College Heads
Change Hours
For Serenades
Even coed universities have
their perplexing problems in these
complex days.
The boys of the University of
Illinois have been rationed in their
tjme-honored custom of sorority
serenades, while those, now miser
able, sunny Californians are find
ing themselves locked from femi
nine dormitories at 1 a. m. instead
of the usual 2 a. m. of a Saturday
eve. ,
Too Bad!
At Illinois the Interfratemity
touncil has, after prolonged de
bate, decided to order the follow
ing sacrifice: "No fraternity may
serenade more than five sororities
in a single night." In addition to
this drastic regulation all serenad
ing on week ends must end by
2:30 a. m. With such privileges
so curtailed, the Illinois warblers
will scarcely have the opportunity
to exercise their vocal cords.
The strain of war acceleration
has at last been fully realized as
far as the Pacific coast for the
Women's Dormitory association of
the University of California has
decided that the girls need more
rest under the speeded up pro
gram. Good Response.
Consequently the lockout hour
in dormitories of the fairer sex has
been moved up one hour. Now
the war-weary damsels can retire
for study or rest at 1 a. m. insteaJ
of 2 a. m. Incidentally the males
have raised strenuous objections to
the early curfew.

relaying clever little messages
while you wait and wait and wait.
At several fraternities, we won't
enumerate them, the girl would be
safer in taking blinders and ear
plugs. But don't get mad the
young man you're escorting is ex
pecting an exceptional time.
Gone Is the Allowance.
Altho you spend your next three
weeks' allowance for dinner, his
feeling will be as grateful as
those in the illustrious column
"CHIPS." Finally, you arrive at
the dance buried under coats, over
night bags, first aid kits, and can
teens and wrinkled beyond hope
from his delicate frame sitting on
you ready to dance to soothing
music while couples hit you from
all sides.
The evening is climaxed when
your date informs you he has a
'town permission and leaves you
at five minutes to one, out of gas,
to walk hom'e. But don't fret
girls, remember Gene Bradley had
a good time.

. . . Shall We Say
The American Collegiate Press,
Daily Nebraskan national news
service, doesn't kid around. The
American Collegiate Press (shall
we say) doesn't sling the bull. The
ACP (shall we say) hasn't gone
looney like many people because
of thevar.
But an item in their latest re
lease proves two things: that they
will publish anything, and that
anything can happen during war
time. From Washington State
university at Pullman comes the
(shall we say) devestating news.
College men at that university
are expected to go to bed not later
than 11 o'clock week nights. The
action was taken by their presi
dent's council, a campus organization.
The University of Dotre Dame
was founded Nov. 27, 1842, by the
Very Rev. Edward Sorin, a French
priest.

Is he coming home Christmas
on furlough? Are you worried
as to what his reactions are going
to be? Is there doubt as to your
future? All these questions can
be simply answered by taking no
tice of a few tips.
Just remember that you're the
frill in his furlough. He wants
you to be feminine as pink ribbon,
swish as silk. Keep any of your
uniforms buried, if you have one.
He doesn't want a tailored maid
as he's been tailor-made too long.
He wants lots of glamour, or glim
mer to say the least. Key your lip
stick to the hollyberries and
don't sit under the mistletoe with
anybody else but him.
On Dress Parade.
When you're on dress parade, be
prepared for a bandbox inspection,
for a general could not have high
er standards than he. ; You're the
belle in his Christmas and a
chipped nail, a smeared Jfpline will
send him marching the other
way. Don't blitz your big moment
by such tactical errors.
All card players have tricks, and
this situation is equal to handling
a full deck. You'd better have a
trick up your sleeve. Build your
charm on a good foundation so you
won't lose face. Base your powder
on a foundation that works all day,
stays up all night. Be sure and
have that "finished look", it does
away with lots of unfinished busi
ness. Every Minute Counts.
He's got only two weeks, and
every minute counts so be the life
of his party. Keep fresh by using
a pocket cleanser, don't take time
out for major repairs. Be happy
as a holi-daisy from party to
party, from taps to reveille, and
you'll be the star in his morning
after. It'll be a hangover hammer
ing at his heart instead of his
head.
He loves you for the tilt of your
chin, the twinkle in your eyes, the
faith in your man. Bright brushed
hair, mobile-smooth hands he's
certain to like. You're the girl in
his life and these are memory
makers, for days when memories
have to be made in double quick
time.
