Friday, April 23, 1943 DAILY NEBRASKAN 5 X3& uits Lead Fashions BY PAT CHAMBERLIN Crime don't pay. See wat dey made me do. Me, da manager of the Purple Passion, world champ ion ladies' wrestler, writing a blue ttreak on what collitch kids wear. It seems like to me dat it ain't bo much what dey wear lately, as the faces with which dey wear wat dey wear. And I ain't intending any cracks at the woosome two somes I tripped over in the ping pong room and the alumni hangout yesterday about 6:38 p.m. Pretty Smooth Da fellas in dose pea greed OD (short for Oh, dam) outfits look pretty smooth ta me, except dat dey act like dey had on the Pur ple Passion's red flannel undies. (She ain't color conscious, like be). De bluish bags de sport under their peepers sorta spoil da green effect, but den when ya see dem march, dey don't look quite so green. When I was talking to da Purple Passion the other day, she wants to know why their faces look worse than her did after the Massive Masher got thru wit her last summer. So I does a little snooping. It's all because that there ain't enuf light bulb plugs in the Lovelorn Mansion. Dey all has electric razors wit which to carve off their growing whiskers, and like dat Sprague fellow who has the mumps aren't used to papas bloody strop and blade. (I use a meat chopper on the Purple Passion myself.) Den dey am t got Girls' intramural sports are be ing played off with a bank this week. The badminton tournament should be finished up in another week. The results for this week are: Tri Delta over AO Pis, In dependents II over Kappas I, Dorm over DG's II by default, Alpha Phis I over Kappas II and Alpha Phi II over Howard I by default. The baseball tournament got underway Wednesday night. It wasn't an inspiring start, but if the teams start showing up, there should be some close games. Tennis in intramurals is yet a figment of the imagination but when and IP the courts get fixed up, there will be both doubles and singles. Anyone who is inter ested may still enter the tourn ament. At last the table tennis tourn ament has come out of hiberna tion. This week some of the con testants got busy and played off their games. Here are the re sults: In doubles, Delta, Gamma over Kappa, and Tri Delt over Al pha Phi; in singles, Gamma Phi over Delta Gamma, and Tri Delt over Gamma Phi. Something new has been added to the intramural sports program The obstacle courses which the girls' physical fitness classes have been trying out in the past few weeks are going to be used for an intramural meet. Six girls may participate on a team. They must have practiced three different nights before the meet, which will be run off during the last week before exams. Times made by the teams on both the outdoor and indoor courses will be compared to determine the win ner. Intramural reps should turn their team lists in by Wednesday, April 28. WPB Restricts College Buying Of Lab Items WASHINGTON, D. C. (ACP) The war production board has clamped down on uncontrolled buying of laboratory equipment by colleges getting ready for their in flux of army and navy trainees. In a move to assure all colleges sufficient equipment to teach re quired science courses, WPB or dered that colleges must get the board's approval before ordering supplies. Orders Outstrip Production. tserore restrictions were or dered, laboratory supplies were being ordered by colleges at a rate which threatened to soak up more equipment than manufacturers could produce in two years. The actual terms of the order provide that colleges must fill out WPB form PD-620, submit it to WPB, and present the approved form to the manufacturers when they order. WPB officials report that form PD-620 will reauire only one day to clear through the Washington office.

Various and sundry so much time to get in front of the seventy mirrors in de base ment of da Mansion. Blue is Sweet I hear dat dese fellas can wear blue lapels on their Easter bunny suits if dey wanna. But dey don't. It seems that some things are lower than a private even a pri vate in da Mansion.

There is the lettuce and carrot juice rou tine. . . .but who's night flying anyway? We can join theWAACS, or just plain push ourselves away from the table three times a day.

When the diet has been mapped out to meet a rabbit's require ments, a money ante may be add ed for incentive. Nobody ever col lects, but it's a gesture anyway. Then the all-out-health week be gins.

Government Hires More Uni Women College women have increas ing opportunities for employ ment in government, and now practically 70 per cent of all new appointees are women. The recruitment of several thousand college women under examinations for junior profes sional assistant "has had a pro found affect, in the view of Don ald C. Stone, assistant director of the Budget Bureau. Rapid promotions in many cases led him to relect: "My fear is that with the dearth of adequately trained persons, promotion of many of these young employees to high positions has come too rapidly. In any event, there is a desperate search going on .by all agencies for persons quali fied for administrative work of all grades from juniors to heads of bureaus and divisions." Of 1,900 war occupations, 1, 468 are listed by the Social Se curity Board as suitable for women. An additional 276 are listed as partially suitable. CiL .
