BY BET KING.
All those people who haven't the
flu are taking in the numerous
parties on campus this week end
... or they're thinking about
how to wangle a date to one.
Taking more than its share of
the limelight is the big Zip party
coming off tonight. Each Zip has
asked one non-member as his
guest (and we don't mean his
date). Theta Mick Miller will be
on the scene with Gerry Gardner.
And now sit down and take a
deep breath Nog Chapin, of
Sigma Nu and Eligible Bachelor
fame, will be squiring pert Pi Phi
Bunny Matthews. Could it be that
Hink spent too much time last
week at the Base Hospital seeing
old rygh school flame, Bill Cook?
Saturday night Bunny will be in
the company of another Sigma Nu,
Harold Smith.
Night Club Movies to Lincoln.
Friday night the lights will
glitter brightly at 1433 R St., too
The Tau's are throwing a night
club party at the 1433 club. Dane
ing in the sophisticated atmos
phere will be Gamma Phi Pat
Toof and Sid Wells along with
Bob Veeder and kite-girl Sue
Lancaster (ATO's are favored by
that family). Griff Jones will have
Jean O'Neil (the half of the O'Neil
twins that isn't pinned). Jackie
Scott, Alpha Chi, and Lee
Baughan will be together for the
occasion. Lately Lee has been see
ing a lot of Gamma Phi Lois B.
Johnson.
Saturday night is the date the
SAEs have chosen for their
Christmas party complete with
stick candy. Janet Gibson, Gam
ma Phi, will make the trip from
Ravenna to be with Arch Briggs
for the deal. Lynn Stahl, of the
Alpha Chi house, and Carrol
Meyer will be a duo for the party,
too, and Jean Hickey and Dana
Rasmussen will be paired for an
evening of fun.
Pike Still a Favorite.
Saturday night will find Sig
Chi's Johnny Bell (that Eligible
Bachelor) and Phil Fredrickson
dancing at the Pike with Kappa
Joan Fankhauser and Ruth Han
cock. Brother Lee Kjelson will
join the crowd if he can find a
date. Line forms to the right, gals.
Some parties don't wait for the
weekend. Wednesday night found
a group of the Navy fellows giv
ing a big farewell affair for Al
Liedel, recently discharged NRO.
What will AOPI Jackie Tobin do
now that her man of the hour has
said those goodbyes? Or perhaps
it isn t a permanent goodbye.
Believe It or Not.
Rumor has it the Chi Ohhhh
lovely Jan Engle will get a ring,
third-finger-left in the very near
future from a returned Navy man.
And what about the beachhead

of smaller plants or socialism.
On the affirmative, Tom Sor
ensen emphasized that the mini
mum wage scale sought by labor
was actually far below the levels
of what comprised an adequate
living wage.
John Van Home, of the nega
tive, then declared that labor's
demands are unjustified and gen
eral unemployment will result if
wage increases are granted.
Questions Asked.
' Following a spirited round table
discussion by the members of the
Forum, Moderator Bill Miller in
vited the audience to fire ques
tions at the experts.
A straw vote at the conclusion
of the meeting revealed that opin
ion was about evenly divided
even with Professor Elliott, who
had argued negatively, voting for
the affirmative.

Christmas Spirit
Invades Campus
Like Commando
Every year about this time, the
Christmas spirit cautiously ap
proaches the University of Ne
braska, timidly fearing the recep
tion a campus, just convalescing
from another zealous holiday, will
give it. The campus, so far, has
been very receptive, and it is ru
mored that every member of the
student body has eagerly admitted
the hesitant spirit, and with
hearts full of ulterior motives,
have bid it welcome. (At' this
point we make an humble plea
that the faculty will reconsider
their decision to wilfully disre
gard the young visitor and
realize that there are other
things almost as important as
studying.)
Since the day of the advent of
the Christmas spirit (Nov. 23)
there has been a prevalent sense
oi lusmicauon lor the common
lack of preparation of homework.
After contemplating the problem
from all angles, we give up after
precisely five seconds and decide
to go Christmas shopping instead
of writing a theme on "The Pos
sibilities of a New Civilization on
Pluto."
We're Off Ta Ta Ta Da
On our way downtown, we 'are
sidetracked momentarily at a
flower shop where a brazen young
clerk grabs our arm and insists
we purchase some mistletoe. In
spite of our persistent argument
that we would have no use for
such vulgarities, we buy ten
pounds and continue our trip.
Once inside a buzzing depart
ment store, we gain control of
ourselves long enough to realize
that prices are a trifle high this
year and our bank account
dwindled somewhat at our down
payment on a share in a nylon
factory. Slightly discouraged, we
aim our feet toward home, think
ing that perchance there may be
something in our clothes closet
in good enough condition to sell
for one-twentieth of its original
cost. Investigation proves futile,
so we decide to drown the whole
: y, 1 .
Christmas Spirit Closes In.
We soon -discover that the
Christmas spirit has"eveh invaded
such places as the Student Union;
and has penetrated as far inland
as the Crib. We see evidence of
this fact as we meander aim
lessly up and down the formerly
boisterous aisles. We now gaze
into drawn faces, see fists fiercely
clenching miniature calendars,
and hear voices muttering hys
terically, "Fourteen days, ten
hours and eighteen minutes." As
the atmosphere close"! in on us,
and we detect symptoms of
claustrophobia, we dash quickly
to seek solace elsewhere.
It is impossible. . .there is no
hope! The Christmas spirit hasn't
missed a cubic inch of the campus.

I Does Your Life
Lack Glamor?
Read Further
BY JEAN HICKEY.
You say you're a shy little kid
with no potentialities for love
and life? 'Tis a sad world, but
if college life can't brighten it,
you're sunk, punkin'.
First, there's the problem of
living and existing Some people
could lock themselves in their
rooms for three days with no
curiosity from the gracious public
not even a call from Mother to
find out why they hadn't sent
their dirty clothes home, or a
postcard asking if they've brushed
their teeth lately. If you are
faulty, my dear, animate exist
ence is beckoning. Youth can be
yours.
Follow This.
First, a schedule allowing from
four to five hours for shut-eye
should be enforced. A well
rounded diet of four or five sun
daes (at the Crib, natcherly), is
an absolute necessity. A budget
permitting extra money with
which to supply your friend with
fags isn't necessary, but try to
get away with "This is my last
one' stuff and you might just
as well join Rip at Sleepy Hollow.
Now for the date life a Buick
convertible or a surplus of pe-
cunia would help but, here we
must be realists. Spend faithful
minutes before your most flat'
tering mirror cultivating a smile,
eyes thrown in, to be used in a
compound way to say "hello" to
the girls .and "I'm free any time"
to the opposite sex. If teeth are
missing you might try the dental
clinic where they have sympathy
and make lots of dates for you.
For a Date.
When you've asked that certain
male for a date, act shy for a
change. Don't tell him he might
be able to taste of the steak you
had for supper. Chances are he
doesn't like it anyway steak, I
mean. Try leaving the party at
12:27. It will give you a new
lease on life to be "in" ahead of
time. And, my dear, life isn't
complete without a surplus of
activities. Two hours in the Crib
plus a well worn look is a good
sign that you are participating
sufficiently.
Father tells me most people
live to be 58, but YOU, bundle of
vigor, are lucky if you reach
graduation day.
LAST DAY
Today is the last day that
students will be able to have
Cornhusker pictures taken, ac
cording to Joyce Crosbie, edi
tor. All pictures must be taken
by 1:00 p. m. at Miller &
Paine's sixth floor studio. This
deadline does not apply to
Navy trainees.
Ah, Christmas,
No Green Stuff
Just Problems
BY GENENE MITCHELL
According to the phases of the
moon it is now eighteen days until
. . . jubilation . . . Christmas. The
floorwalker in the department
store will tell you that, discount,
ing Sundays, there are fifteen
more glorious shopping days until
the eve of jolly old Saint Nick.
All these computations leave us
with the ghastly thought that we
must start skimping on sundaes
in the Crib and fill our piggy
banks with money to purchase
presents for our loved ones and
obligations.
As I, like many others, look into
my receding coin purse, I discover
one nickel, three pennies, an Om
aha and Council Bluffs Street
Railway token, a long-lost Botany
lab key, a red ration point, and no
more allowance coming in until
January first, when my new fiscal
year begins.
Blessed Charge Accounts
Realizing the blessed presence
of charge accounts, and, thus, fi
nances well in hand, a shopping
list is the next step toward a well
organized shopping career. Head
ing my list are those nearest and
dearest to me, including my im
mediate family, roommate, and
the Sosh professor.
The men will most assuredly
