Gather ye rosebuds while ye

Sadie Hawkins day a la Lincoln,
rather than Dogpatch. has been
set as the theme of the week by
those timid campus women who
have not as yet invited their
dream men to the Mortar Board
ball Friday night.
Those fiends, the aforemen
tioned MB's, drove a hard bar
gain for the dream band of the
year, Charlie Spivak. and the Tas
sels arc distributing a limited
ticket sale as evenly as possible
among the women students. The
actual bended-knee proposing,
however, has been left to the in
dividual. As a result, the sale of
stimulants has skyrocketed over
night. Ruf and Tuf.
Some enterprising huntresses
have used unique, often danger
ously desperate, methods to cor
ral football players for the big
evening. Coach Bernie Masterson.
In an unofficial statement, pre

casualties will be healed In suf
ficient time for the Minnesota
opener next September, though
spring practice may be wcuk in
several positions.
Fowler Nelson, Vassar graduate
and New York City marital rela
tions consultant, will attempt to
answer the question, "Why Edu
cation for Marriage and Parenthood?"

Widely Traveled.
The Tuesday afternoon speaker
has traveled widely in the United
States, collecting folk songs and
legends which he has incorpo
rated into two volumes, "America '
Sings" and "Songs of the Rivers
of America." His attention to the
tales of his native New York
State provided the background
for a novel, "Listen for a Lone
some Drum," and for one of the
"Rivers of America" series enti
tled "The Hudson."
Dr. Nelson, who will speak
Thursday, holds a PhD from Co
lumbia in psychology and teaches
See CONVO, pare 4.
Coach Harry Good, basketball
mentor, has been more fortunate,
due to the happy circumstance
that the thirty odd (yes. they art
too) members of his crew will be
in Kansas City absorbing the "bi
theayter" and a Big Six maple
fudge party. Ed Weir, guiding
light of the track squad, was too
busy disguising his mainstays as
Lenas, in order to guard against
further injuries, to give a state
ment for the Daily Nebraskan. It
was expected that pre-season
training will be intensified for
those creatures caught In the tur
moil, as a jolt back to reality.
Spivak has promised lo provide
enough of his honeyed horn toot
ing to make any supreme sacri
fice worthwhile. The Spivak
trumpet, ranked highest In the
sweet swing division of last year's
Downbeat Magazine polls, will be
In evidence Friday for the charm
ing and soothing of any aching
male breast.

cial date bureau. See a Tassel for
