Hubba, Hubba!
They Made It!
It is with gravest misgivings
that the Nebraskan announces
that the perspiring Awgwan staff
finally made it. They actually did
get out the November issue of the
humor pamphlet
We hesitate to mention this be
lated appearance of the pamphlet
because we announced last week,
on authority of Awgwan editor
Ruth Korb, that the magazine
would be out Monday. It wasn't!
But, having faith and believing
that as a senior. Miss Korb can't
be wrong twice in one week, we
are trying again.
So that the humor pamphlet
taff may get rid of their literary
misfortune, NRO subscribers and
those who do not live in organ
ized houses may pick up their cop
ies at the booth in the Union from
12 to 5 daily, thru Friday. Indi
vidual copies may be purchased
for 25 cents by those who don't
know better.

Hoping that there are at least
six handsome, charming, talented,
intelligent and UNATTACHED
males on the campus, the Mortar
Boards are searching for six qual
ified men to be presented at the
Mortar Board ball December 1,
under the title of "The Six Most
Eligible Bachelors."
Due to lack of man power sup
ply, the tradition of electing these
eligible bachelors was discarded
in 1943.

The sponsors of this Black
Masque Ball feel that things have
picked up this year (or are eas

each organized men's house to se

Pearls" by 18-year-old John
Kirsch. .

caught his subject in a half-pensive
mood and places her-before

that gives added charm to an ex
