Methods Chill
St Vitus9 Blood
By George Tierney Shestak.
"Dance?"
"Why yes of course."
This simple little question and
answer rank with "See how far
you can lean out over this cliff,"
and "Sure she is married, but her
husband is out of town tonight,"
for shear recklessness and don't
give a damn daring. Snear if you
will but the styles of dancing seen
at any Saturday night hop would
chill the blood of St. Vitus.
From Over State.
From all over the state, people
have labored for years to de
velop their own weird and haz
ardous styles of jive in order to
mix in our week end orgies at
the Union.
One eccentric method is the
"Bounce." With this style you' go
up on the beat and come down
with a swishing motion, on the
off beat. If 100 advocates of this
style were willing to do it at the
same time it would bring down
the Union in 18V4 minutes. How

Tassels Call Halt
To War Stamp
Weekly Sales
Twenty cents, or two dime
stamps, was the total sales of war
stamps last week, according to
Gerrmy McKinsey, Tassel presi
dent. Because of lack of interest and
almost complete absence of sales,
the selling of war stamps will be
discontinued, Miss McKimsey has
stated. The ending of the war
stamp campaign was agreed upon
by Tassels at their Wednesday
night meeting.
Prior to the dissolving of War
Council, the stamp sales were
sponsored by that organization,
with actual sales being handled
by Tassels.
time. Personally it makes me sea
sick. Fidgeters.
The greater part of the student
dancers seem to be "walkers" or
"fidgeters." This school maintains
dancing should be done with the
least possible effort so they just
move their feet aimlessly or fidget
in time to the music. This leaves
more energy for the important
part of the night between 12 and
12:30. Also you can talk more and
thus divert the girl friend's mind
from her tape-worm. This saves
millions; even enough to pay for
dancing lessons.
Fanatics.
The fanatics of the dance floor
are the dancing for dancing's sake
boys. Any time that any one will
even hum a tune, these madmen
break into a wild Llndy. The
Lindy Is a mixture of Sioux war
dance, black bottom, an attack by
a swarm of hornets, and a case of
the shakes to music.
To be a successful Lindy-er, you
have to be durable, able to keep
good time and have lots of life
insurance. If any beautiful girls
with money would care to learn
this unique art form, just contact
me and 1 11 guarantee to teach the
whole deal in three weeks.
You should live so long!

Peace and Quiet Invade Sosh,
Avery LabBut Not Temple!
BY
MARSIIELLA ILLA IIOLCOMB.
Soft strains of " 'Till the End of
Time" drift down from the navy
orchestra rehearsal on third floor,
there is just the faintest rever
beration of pounding hammers in
the workshop. Otherwise the Tem
ple building is quiet as usual these
warm fall evenings.
EXCEPT FOR:
Assorted characters screaming
at each other in cultured British
accents as the cast of "Hands
Across the Seas" finished its final
polishing rehearsals before its
presentation Thursday evening.
The clink of bottles is definitely
simulated, and close inspection
proves them filled with water to
represent another drinking fluid.
AND:
Down the hall Don Kline yells
at those in "Ways and Means"
who insist upon forgetting to
broaden their "a"s. For they, too,
were rounding out preparation for
one of Noel Coward's one-act
tickets to lunacy. Thumps and
thuds as Mimi Hahn and Bill Fein
practice the graceful art of get
ting in and out of reclining posi
tions. Thru it all the gentle click,
click, click of numerous knitting
needles; slipovers are stijl the
style.
MEANWHILE:
Half a flight below, room 154,
devoid, for a change, of its con
stantly shifting Grand Central
Station crowd, seems deserted.
Another look in the distant re
cesses shows Bobby Berggren
cueing Howard Henry on his lines
for "Blithe Spirit."
Over and over, the soft inter
play of voices, as Bobby quotes,
"You're trying to drive me in
sane, that's it. Swear to me it's
only that, swear to me it's only
that," and Hank smiles wearily
as he coos, "You said in one of
your more acid moments that I'd
been hag-ridden all my life. But

now I'm free, dear, and I should
like to take thi3 opportunity of
saying I'm enjoying It im
mensely." WHILE:
Dr. Westbrook's singers on the
main floor level are blending their
harmonious voices into Hanel's
"Hallelujah" chorus from .the
Messiah.
NOT TO FORGET:
Those poor souls in the Temple
auditorium itself, running thru
the scenes in "Blithe Spirit." From
one corner of the stage Madame
Arcati droans what was aptly de
scribed as a "distinctly uncompli
mentary" verse to exercise spir
its, while Sally Whiteman as the
second wife and Betty Russell as
the first, shout gripes about the
smell of garlic resulting from the
numerous unsuccessful seances,
and Blanche Duckworth busies
herself with the tea things.
Far back on the middle aisle,
Larry Gillen, feeling strangely
out of place with a genuine set of
civvies instead of his uniform,
struggles with phraseology and
his wife, (don't get excited, that's
just what the playbook says),
Mildred McAdams, goes over and
over and over the lilting com
ment, "How extraordinary."
DOWNSTAIRS:
Betty Jeanne Holcomb, finish
ing the recording schedule for the
day, has a good loud boogy rec
ord on the turntable in the radio
lab and the poor mice sit around
in corners wondering which is the
best line of retreat. There just
ain't no place a self respecting
mouse can go for a bit of solitude.
Unless he tries Bartley's Pol. Sci.

October Fashions
Reveal Same Olc
Sweaters Ahead
By Thee Mortlock.
With the sun glinting on reddish
autumn leaves, October fashions
are not difficult to define. They
are still .... surprises! . . . .skirts
'n sweaters with occasional bright
plaid or checkered sports dresses
for something different. We even
viewed on the campus the other
noon, a soft, brown leather skirt
topped with a wide stud belt! And
looked for cowboy boots and the
Stetson accompanying the. outfit,
but were crushed to find that old
gray Nebraskans ain't what they
used to be.
Gals still treasure their scuffed
mocassins,, no matter how much
fun is made of them, and the di
minutive objects are seen on every
side .... oops, on every foot. Some
thing clings to "those things!"
as many irate parent dub them,
and coeds stubbornly refuse to
shelve them.
Coats Sub for Swabbies.

on female shoulders this year!

So, this is just a warning ....
if you see those famous navy
coats with a flash of a brief
bright skirt beneath, don't be
shocked. . . .the navy's not getting

a fad!
Have you ever seen a sequin

Students Gather
Material for UN
Neivs Broadcast
Items used on the university
newscasts each Thursday at 4
p. m. are being gathered this year
by members of William H. Hice's
journalism 81 class.
When assignments for the se
mester were discussed, it was dis
covered that a number of the stu
dents were radio majors, and in
terested in learning the techniques
of radio news-writing. With that
thought in mind, a system was
devised which allowed such prac
tice. Interviews
Each week these students inter
view staff and faculty members
assigned to them, and turn in their
notes to Marilyn Davis, editor of
the newscast. She in turn edits
the script and has it typed by
Betty Jeanne Holcomb, radio as-,
sistant.
After review by George Round
in the editorial and publicity of
fice, the working scrip is ready
for rehearsal and performance.
Joan Bohrer, genoral production
manager, takes over at that point,
working with W. S. Morgan, radio
instructor.
Students retain copies of the
items they turn in, and check to
see how it has been chancpH for
final use. They may consult with
wir. nice lor criticism and aid m
working out their assignments.
