Scooters, Cars Force
Pedestrians To Cover
BY GENE JENSEN
Open season on the campus is
here! Peasants (it's not a typo
graphical error; read on) are
scurrying for cover. Even the side
walks are not safe anymore not
since the advent of the motor
scooter.
I have come to the firm con
clusion that the scooterists are
twarted souls who never earned
their wings, so they are expend
ing their wrath upon the common
pedestrian by flying low, endan
gering the lives of all concerned.
This business of gliding silently
into a stragetic position and then
knocking the props (legs, that is)
out from under an innocent stu
dent must stop.
It's not that the logs are so im
portant, but cleaning bills add up,
and no professor is apt to accept a
late entrance to class day after
day when the only excuse that can
be offered is the aforesaid broken
legs.
It is not just the motor scooters,
either. The time has come that
those lucky persons with automo
biles have declared a counter-attack.
When tne putt-putts began
their rampage on the sidewalks
and in tight corners where car
Make A Million Quick!
Originate Nove ItyPins
BY ELLIE SWANSON
Want to make a million dollars
quick? I'm not giving away a mil
lion dollars for the correct ans
wer to "How can the Awgwan be
made humorous," in ten words or
less accompanied by page 72 of
said magazine; but I know another
way that someone with a few
hundred dollars they would like
to gamble, plenty of spare time to
waste and an exceptional imagina
tion might make a -million easily.
If this includes you, read on.
It all happened one morning in
an eight o'clock class. There I was
in my usual eight o'clock mood
one degree better than being
asleep in bed. The first thing I
recall seeing was orange spots.
''You probably spilled egg on your
sweater," I murmured at the boy
next to me. Startled, probably as
that was the first time I had spok
en in that class, he explained,
"That's not egg. It's Smoe."
New Interest
From that time on, I developed
a great interest in these little con
traptions which so many people
have peeking over their pockets.
For the benefit of those who have
never seen a Smoe, they are long
orange noses with an inkling of a
forehead above them and two
hands gripping the nearest coat
pocket. I started my own private
research on the subject.
It seems that some abnormal
soul had a brain child one day
and has since made piles of money.
Who he is , no one seems to know,
but rumor has accused anyone
from an ex-GI to a dejected fra
ternity man. Frankly I believe he
is some frustrated engineer stu
dent, but that's beside the point.
Actually there are six different
derivations on the Smoe pin. Be
sides Smoe there is Kilroy, Clem,
Luke the Spook, Stinkie and Hef- j
linger.
Coeds Fashion
Parade Shows
Variety in Suits
BY BARBARA KIECHEL
AND GENENE MITCHELL.
That perplexing question "what
to wear and when," holds no
terror for today's coed. When in
doubt, she wears a suit. Because
in a suit she's always well-dressed,
always appropriately dressed,
whether she's off to the Union for
a coke or starting a gala Saturday
night.
Did you see her dancing at the
Pike or was she lunching at the
University club? Wherever it was,
we'll bet you remember Bev Haar
man's black "after-five-o'clock"
suit. The velvet wing sleeves con
trast with the soft wool of the
jacket and pencil-slim skirt to
make this costume arrestingly
different. Her platform pumps
have tiny gold accents which em
phasize the gold buttons fastening
up to the high neckline.
A suit collector's treasure Is
Janie Fehr's ensemble. The brown
Babardine skirt follows straight
lines while the winter-white
Jacket, pin-striped in brown, has
manipulation was impossible, the
motorists set up their version of
the Indiana speedway on the
campus streets.
Not a Game
To them, it is a game to us,
it is a serious matter. The day of
the pedestrian-ace is fast ap
proaching. A pedestrian-ace is one
who has more heads painted the
side of his car than anyone else.
He will be renowned for his prow
ess by all his brother combatants,
and to break his record will be
the aim of all.
So the casualty list will grow,
and the enrollment will shrink in
comparison. With the coming of
winter and icy streets, the prob
lem confronting us grows larger.
What can we do to repel these
forces?
One solution could be buy a
car, a motor scooter, a jet-propelled
pogo-stick anything with
power, and join the fracas. If that
is not satisfactory, there is a pos
sibility that a rivalry between
forces could be awakened so that
in the heat of battle, the motor
ists and the scooterists would be
gin to exterminate each other.
Again we could have our peace
ful campus.
r
In spite of numerous warnings
I have had stating that there can
be no Kilroy pin because no one
has ever seen Kilroy, I neverthe
less maintain that the pin I saw
labeled Kilroy was no halu
cination. Kilroy is identical to
Smoe except that he is larger...
undoubtedly because he he isn't. . .
existing, that is. The man who
sells these, in spite of the fact
that they don't exist, sells over
150 each weekend.
Then we come to Clem. Clem
is exactly like Smoe and Kilroy
except that he is much smaller.
This, in my opinion, makes Clem
Kilroy's son. In that case, Smoe
must be his uncle which makes
us all wonder who Mrs. Kilroy can
be.
Now we must examine Stinkie.
Stinkie, as the name would im
ply, is similar to his comrades ex
cept for the fact that he is hold
ing his nose. This pose could be
greatly elaborated on, but since
Stinkie's buyers are few and far
between, we will pass on to Hef
finger. The selling ability of Hef
finger is also limited as he can
be worn only on a belt. His pose
is that of a swimmer which proves
absolutely nothing. Luke the Spook
is even smaller than Clem but ex
actly the same as the first three
mentioned. You can figure his re
lationship on your own time.
Perhaps you have wondered
where these trinkets originated.
Smoe was born in high school and
Kilroy overseas. It is rumored that
Clem was born in France as some
ex-Wac stated that he originated
with the Wacs. This might mean
that some Wac is Clem's mother,
but who am I to start rumors?
Now you know how to go about
making a million. Just manufac
ture some idiotic novelty and there
are endless amounts of suckers
who will put you on easy street
at 25.
dolman sleeves and a high neck.
The gold of its buttons is repeated
in the gold choker necklace, and
with her brown derby hat and
brown accessories, Janie could
make fashion headlines anywhere.
The contrast of Libby Wenger's
jet hair and her dove-grey suit
has both dash and drama. Her suit
is collarless, and has superb
shoulder detail and full bat-wing
sleeves. At the nipped-in waist,
Libby wears a heavy silver chain.
Grey accessories complete the
picture.
From science to sodas go the
suits of Patsy Krause and Helen
Lutton. Casually terrific is Patsy's,
with a yelling yellow background
for the oversize brown checks. A
square jacket covers the jumper
effect on her skirt. Patsy wears a
brown tee-shirt and brown mocas
sins with this outfit. Helen's clas
sic blue plaid has full sleeves
cuffed at the wrist, and the long
jacket is bloused with a matching
belt. A soft white sweater makes
the costume perfect for classroom
wear. '
Charmingly simple and simply
charming is Eleanor Stahl in a
cocoa-brown suit with a small
white pinstripe. Gold buttons
again punctuate the extra-long
jacket. The collar and turned back
cuffs carry out tie precision tail
oring which makes this suit
THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
tRaqqswL
By Pat Gilligan
The Farmhouse semi-formal
Friday night turned out to be
practically a get together with the
Chi O's at least 18 of the girls
showed up at the party. Later the
group went to the Pike for the
swing music of the "Duke." Also
enjoying the crowd were Bob
Tangeman and partner, Jo Acker
man, while Mary Esther Dunkin,
was gliding around smoothly with
Hank Anderson. Gene Mayborn
at least sticks to the Korbs, but
instead of Mary Ann,it was
June.
The Tri Delt rancho brought
together several DU and Fiji com
binations. Betty Gayer escorted
John Brown and M. J. Hewett
chose as her man for the affair,
Don Shaneyfelt. Taking in the
Li'l Abncr, also were Don Klein-
smith with Pat Ward and Bob
Schleiger with Winnie Wolf.
Jean and Kay Bogan brought a
fivesome of classmates from
Duchesne for a big week end and
left brother, Dick, to arrange
plans dates, football tickets and
so forth.
Pinninrs
Shirley Peterson, much to the
surprise of her sisters, appeared
Thursday flaunting the Kappa Sig
pin of Aubrey Pettit. This makes
a monopoly for the Alpha Phis as
far as Aubrey is concerned.
It seems "Bookie" McCormick
took in the wrestling matches
with L. B. Johnson Wednesday
night and lacking his DU pin,
borrowed Bill Korf's ATO pin to
hang on her for the evening, with
the remark that he would have to
get his own pin so he could really
do the job.
Alice Christiansen has competi
tion as far as John Call is con
cerned. He received an anony
mous letter from an admirer the
other day stating that she was
broken up about his pinning to
Alice for he was her dream man.
If he was interested, she would be
sitting in the booth by the cashier
in the crib next day at 3 o'clock.
Did anyone notice John in that
booth on Thursday???
The Phi Delt pledge "Silo"
party Friday night was a huge
success and so much fun that the
actives felt slighted at their fail
ure to receive invitations. The
Nancy Pierson-Tom Brownlee
combination must have been
quite successful for it developed
into a future engagement for the
Military Ball.

Herman Turk, Jack Hill, Vance
Hubbard, and Eugene Berman

The contestants all read tne
same selection and were judged on
radio presentation and radio voice
adaptability by a member of the
speech department.
As a part of the program, Vance
Hubbard presented a lecture on
"The Application of Federal Prin
ciples in the Modern World."

Feelings run pretty tender at
Nebraska. As we were walking
peacefully thru the Crib the other
morning on the way to get our
daily crushed pineapple coke, we
felt rather left out of it all. We
weren't quite sure why at first,
but then we realized we had never
received a threatening letter.
We have been writing off and on
for this paper for nigh onto four
years now, and many subjects
have been touched by our vitriolic
pen (the editor says that it is
pretty hard to read vitriol, how
ever, and has suggested ink in the
future.
Everybody who is anybody has
been threatened at least once this
year. Sprague has threatened the

Innocents, Simon has threatened
the Mortar Boards, the Innocent
have threatened men, the Mortar
Boards have threatened women,
and practically everybody has
threatened El lie Swanson. The
only time that we get our name
dragged through the mire of the
Letterrip Column is when our
brother in arms, Mr. Hill (get out
of my arms, Mr. Hill) makes pass
ing reference to us in a scurrilous
and unwarranted attack on the
poor victorious republicans.
We thought all through the
years that when you got to be a
senior and subscribed to the Ne
braskan, the Awgwan, and the
Cornhusker, gave money to the
AUF, worked on the Student
Foundation, and read political sci
ence papers that you would at
least make a few good enemies,
but apparently we have failed.
Maybe we have picked the
wrong issues. We have nothing
bad to say about the Young Re
publicans (or the old Republic
ans, for that matter). We think
that Nebraska's young men are
without peer in the nation. We
like ag women's legs (to unearth
a burning topic of last year). We
are opposed to dirty politics and
blockhead voting. We think there
should be more honoraries for
fmore people.
Perhaps there is some lost soul
wandering around on the campus
that feels just as left out as we
do because he has never had oc
casion to send anyone threaten
ing letters. Let's get together. We
can spend these cold winter eve
nings over a hot typewriter send
ing threatening letters back and
forth.
