Snow and Winter Winds Blow Outlandish Outfits onto Campus BY MARILYN MEYER. The wind blew and the snow came. Red prevails as the season's color for noses and a slight blue tinge looks best on the hands. It took Old Man Winter to do it but Bill Ray, Dallas Cotton and The Boys wore hats three gal- Ion light grey affairs. G. Tierney Shestak wore his Hat too. It's a good thing he has ears, he couldn't see without them. Leaning Into the blustery wind were Llue Detweiler and Jane Freye with demure bonnets, com plete with rosebuds, keeping their ears warm. . We are under the Impression that Cletus Fischer Is enjoying the limelight created by his fa mous head covering. The hue of his ears just about matches the ear muffs perched haughtily on top of his head. around the love affairs of Lola, Santuzza, Alfio, and Turriddu. The action begins with the entrance of Santuzza in search of Turriddu, her lover. She asks Mother Lucia, the innkeeper, for help. It seems that before entering military service, Turriddu was engaged to Lola. However, in his absence she marries Alfio. Upon his return Turriddu finds Lola married and to spite her he woos and marries Santuzra. Actually he is still in love with Lola and soon again makes love to her. As Mother Lucia tells the story, San tuzza becomes grief-stricken and unfortunately tells Alfio. Alfio in turn decides to get revenge, and despite Turriddu's plea for for giveness, they arrange for a duel. The climax comes when Turriddu departs for the duel and is killed by Alfio. Class projects of the University Singers, the operas will be pro duced with the entire school of fine arts co-operating. Two sep arate casts now are being selected. Art students will paint the scen ery; staging and direction will be done by Dallas Williams, director of the University Theatre; and a 20-piece orchestra will be selected by Director Wilbur Price of the university orchestra. Fredric Tell er has been named business man ager. Vets Arrange Next Semester Housing Early Lee Chatfield, assistant dean of student affairs in charge of hou ing, asks all veterans intending to enroll in the university the sec ond semester to arrange living quarters in Lincoln before Christmas. "Just af present we could place from 40 to 50 veterans and their wives in housekeeping facilities," Mr. Chatfield said. There are only a few places available that will accept children, however, and only a few more will accept small babies. More than half of the quarters on hand are sleeping rooms with kitchen privileges, priced at from $20 to $40 per month. There are a number of apart ments from one to four rooms, some with private baths, that rent from $20 to $60 per month. Noticing confusion in a neigh boring snowdrift, we found Jim Pettis floundering his way to class pea coat collar around his ears and the gismo under the collar fastened across his mouth. He has nice eyes. The Russian or grandmother ef fect created by Professor Blood's tan scarf, worn around his ears instead of under them, was no less than charming. He claims someone stole his hat. Femininity ducked her head and pounded the desk asking for strength when the members of her clan clomped to class in boots ski boots, cowboy boots, rubber boots and those other unmention able monstrosities.
