Sleek Locks
Mark Smart
'45 Coeds
BY GENENE MITCHELL.
"Milady's tresses are sleek, neat,
and drawn back at the temples
to reveal and accent the forehea'd,
profile, and eyes," maintains
VOGUE in accordance with hair
fashions of the day. But around
the campus the coed pays small
heed to the dictates of la VOGUE.
Gazing around' the colleges
finds an array of sophisticates
and hair-does like ne'er seen be
fore. "Mort" Illingsworth lights
the eye of many a college man
with her dark locks done in
straight bangs touching her fore
head, and sides long with a
slight end upturn.
Speaking of bangs, they seem
to be the mode on the . campus
with more and more girls fol
lowing the trend. Some like their
frou curly on top, as Jean Morse
wears hers.
Flat-Top, Bat Not Dick Tracy.
The flat-top is unceasingly at
tractive. Forecast shows that the
"Lake Bob" will remain popular
for some time, while glamour
girls Claire Wadder and Pat
Holmes display theirs' to the
usual best advantages.
A variation is added to Mimi
Loo mis' drop-side bob by an en
hancing deep wave. Phyl Kokjer
represents the red-headed version
with her flaming hair, beautifully
long, fraceful and soft. A little
different touch is given to the
flat-top by Marian Eloe, who
parts her curly locks in the mid
dle, and draws the sides straight
back.
Short Cut.
Call it baby-bob, feather cut,
or shortie, Jody Wolcott's style
of a short cut brings out the
gleam in her eyes to good re
sults. And fellows, it doesn't need
a constant powder room check
Vp in Lincoln's traditionally
windy weather.
During the summer, braids en
circling the head and a variety
cf bun arrangements came into
pre-eminence. Although these
mentioned are not practical for
the classroom and flats, Jean
Hickey steps out with her Sat
urday night man plus two lovely
buns perched at the back 6f her
ears. Pat Warren meets these
rainy days with her hair braided
criss-cross atop her head.
Not to forget the fellows, their
motto seems to be fewer crew
cuts and more hair. Maybe it's
because cold weather will arive
soon.
Coeds Participate
In Experimental
Phys Ed Program
Running upstairs and down
stairs, crawling under tables,
swinging oa ropes, turning somer
saults, hurdling such were the
activities of 60 Nebraska coeds
in the experimental physical edu
cation course given last spring
and at many other universities
thruout the country.
Ranking high, the Cornhusker
coeds were above the average
made by 700 college women.
Average time for the 50 yard
dash 8.8 seconds, Nebraska 7.71
seconds; for the 200 yard dash
30.5 seconds, Nebraska 35.06 sec
onds. U. N. coeds were able to
bounce 7.07 more times and 50
of them were able to step up and
down on a chair for five minutes.
The national average is 30.
Wrote one girl at the comple
tion of the course: "I believe a
test like this truly tells the story
of what a coed can do. We gics
are not as weak as we are thought
to be." -
Sponsored by National Group.
Sponsored by the committee on
research and studies, of the Na
tional Association of Physical
Education for college women, of
which Dr. Aileene Lockhart, pro
fessor of physical education for
women, is a member, the course
was used In many colleges.
Includ-ed were Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, Illinois State Normal,
Texas State College for Women,
George Williams University and
Mills College.
The course, which was designed
to test endurance, strength, flexi
bility and body control, was
taught by Miss Lockhart and
Miss Jane Mott.
Registration Is
Like Elections
Only More So
BY BARBARA KIECIIEL.
"Elections," boom our poly sci
teachers, "are only sham battles
over fake issues!" We think the
same theory, slightly modified,
could also apply to university
registration. Confusion, misrep
resentation, weary brains, aching
feet ah yes, registration is a
picnicl
That light-hearted feeling that
came over us when we emerged
from the coliseum, nursing bruised
shins and blacked eyes (it just
doesn't pay to sneak to the head
of a line especially when the fel
low you crowd out proves to be
a former Golden Gloves cham
pion), the bumps swelling on our
head from mighty blows wielded
by the Cornhusker salesmen
standing watch on the back stairs
was like walking out of a dark
and depressing winter's day into
the balmy arms of Spring her
self. There they were our new
classes right on the schedule. Of
course, the ninth carbon copy was
all they let us keep, and it was so
blurred we couldn't read it; but
that was okay. We ought to re
member those classes we'd been
memorizing them for weeks. Be
cause, according to various sundry
sources of information, they were
all snap courses!!
Snap Courses?
Every freshman, if he hasn't
used the term before is familiarly
tossing it around fifteen minutes
after he (or she, as the case may
be) gets unpacked. Upperclassmen
are usually only too happy to rec
ommend their own private "snap"
discoveries to their proteges. Nine
times out of ten, we learned all
too late, they have a secret grudge
against the unsuspecting begin
ner, and sign him up for the
stiffest course they know just to
watch him grind his teeth once
he's in.
Today, after three weeks of
school, we have come to the con
clusion that there just is no such
a thing as a snap course. Take just
one of those "cinches" we walked
into this year. We jubilantly
marched to class the first day,
ready for a nap and maybe a two
page assignment, when out of the
fog, we suddenly hear the instruc
tor mumbling something about fif
teen hours library reading a week,
completely outlined, and a note
book due every Friday. It's a
"snap" all right. Anybody would
snap at his own grandmother
after a shock like that.
Misrepresentation.
But that is only one phase of
this "misrepresentation" we're
complaining about. Every course
sounds so interesting so intrigu
ing when it is attractively dis
played in the schedule booklet.
You sort of lose your head, there
are so many beautiful things to
choose from. ".Modern Dance,"
"Special Problems" (we thought
they were probably something
similar to the ones Mr. Anthony
airs over the radio. Foiled again!)
. . . On paper, they all look good.
The most bitter experience,
though, seems to have happened
to a fellow in line just ahead of
us. He eagerly registered for "The
Romantic Movement." and was
all prepared for something really
romantic. We tripped over him as
he was crawling out of Andrews
the other day, and he tells us that
YWCA Sponsors
Get-Acquainted
Tea in Ellen Smith
Using the scrapbook from the
Pacific Northwest YW-YM con
ference as a theme, the first in
formal get-acquainted tea of the
semester sponsored by the YWCA
for all university women will be
held today in Ellen Smith hall
from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The regional conference at Sea
beck, Oregon corresponds to the
annual Estes conference sponsored
by the National Institute of
Christian Councils in the middle
west regions. Programs, souvenirs
and bulletins used at the Seabeck
conference will be shown to guests
at the tea.
The first of the series of Fri
day afternoon get-togethers spon
sored by the YWCA, the tea is
given for all coeds. Refreshments
will be served and campus clothes
will be worn.
William Wordsworth hasn't quite
got the right idea.
Oh, well live and learn. We've
almost decided you can't do both
at the same time, but we're still
trying!
First classes of North Texas
state teachers college, Denton,
were held on second floor of a
local hardware store when the
college opened in 1890.
Full advantage of the German
mentality and its response to
propaganda, strikingly dramatiz
ed, should be taken in the con
duct of war guilt trials, according
to Dr. E. L. Talbert, associate pro
fessor of sociology at the Uni
versity of Cincinnati.
"This public super-trial should
be a symbol of the society that
the United Nations propose to es
tablish," stated Dr. E. L. Talbert,
associate professor of sociology
at the University of Cincinnati.
