An other eyecatcher is Ruth Peter's gay cotton plaid dirndl definite ly a must for spring. Military Influence. Elaine Otto's two pit-ce dress of cinnamon brown and bahama blue reflects the new field jacket 6tyle of the season.

DuPont de Nomnnc Xr a tAr ine acaaeiim year 1945-46, according to an- nouncemeni 01 ine uu x-um v-u. at Wilmington, Del. r This is one of the thirty-five postgraduate fellowships oiierea at 29 universities, which is an increase of 13 over previous years and for the first time includes two fellowships in physics, re flecting the increasing neea ior physicists in the chemical indus try. Five of the fellowships are in chemical engineering and 28 in chemistry. Plans Change Two changes have been made in the fellowship plan this year. First, where tuition rates differ, the company is paying the tuition in addition to the stipend. And second, the amount of the stipend has been increased from $750 to $1,000. Women as well as men are eligible, and selection of the re cipients and the subjects of their (See Dl PONT, page 3.) tary influence is featured again in a soft green tailored dress trimmed with tiny gold military buttons down the front. The se verity of the round neckline is eased by two tabs folded back and held with gold buttons. This out fit is worn by Ruth Kellenbarger. Taffeta and Peplums. The most unusual of the date dresses is that of Carol Garver. The pencil-slim black skirt is topped with a black, green and fushia plaid taffeta blouse. A large bow of the same material ornaments the neckline, and tiny cuffs edge the bracelet length sleeves. Here's Marilyn Green's clever idea on how to make a dress versatile: Make the peplum and neck ruffles detachable. Her dress is black with a coachman's peplum and narrow white ruffles trimming the square neckline. Peplums and the bustle effect are predominant among the date dresses. Edith Brown's rust drees with a deftly draped bodice adds back interest with a bustle bow. The Ag cseds have a collection of smooth, smart clothes, and they did it all by themselves.

Emphasizing that the Good Neighbor policy is not a "fashion able movement" but a vital front in the world war today, Dr. Te desco took his audience on an imaginary tour of the Latin Amer ican nations surrounding the Caribbean sea. To give his listeners an insight into the true cultural unity of the western hemisphere. Dr. Tedesco presented an analysis of the sa lient features of each nation as they are related to the United States. Using the recent revolu tion in Panama as an example, he explained the seeming instability of South ' American governments and warned against acceptance of the current "revolution in the making" concept of Latin poli tics.

I 'Shin of Our Teeth9 Players Suffer Many Catastrophe's BY WALLY BECKER. Production of "The Skin of Our Teeth" is progressing satisfactorily according to word from Theater director Dallas S. Williams. "Satisfactorily?" wailed Ailis SwanSon. "If I have my voice left when this play opens I'll be lucky." It should be explained that the part of Sabina the maid requires a great deal of vocal ex ertion on the part of Miss Swan son. After a particularly strenuous session a few nights ago, Bill Boydston remarked, "This ought to bring the house down." It did. A large section of plaster on the balcony crashed down with terri ble violence. Mr. Williams has given assurance thut the rest of the plaster will stay on the ceil ing. Surprise In Store.

Joins National Group. E. F. DuTeau, national secre tary of the Nebraska Alumni as sociation, says of the university, "In 1909 it was the 18th univei sity chosen for member in the Association of American univer sities. It became a major univer sity in a comparatively small state and in a comparatively small metropolitan area. It achieved a position of eminence despite li nancial handicaps and it brought prestige to the state. Academical ly and athletically it reflected credit to the state. It has re mained a foremost and represen tative institution of the state, a university that is truly of its people. "On the eve of its 76th birth day, we salute the university and the spirit for which it stands and is loved, the spirit of genuine democracy, of honest, hard-working citizenship, of stands which are worthy of a free per 'e. May the respect and the appreciation of its alumni and of the people of Nebraska grew with its years."

There is qui'e a bit of action in Act III, where Arlis Swanson shoots a gun, Avrum Bondarin strangles Don Kline, and Bar bara Van Gundy has a child.
