The Eyes
Have It
By Jeanne Kerrigan
A great hue and cry is con
stanly raised about the "green
freshmen." Cartoon, jokes, stor
ies, etc., are based around the
pitfalls, embarrassing situations
and akward experiences of the
freshman.
However, the choicest morsel to
date concerns the freshie who
thought that Innocents was an
organization of naive young men
who haven't been around very
much.
Breathing a sigh of relief were
sorority gals at the end of rush
week... five days of smiles, man
ners, glamour and personality
plus... the shock, pleasant of
course, comes later when every
one gets to know everyone as they
are.
One girl didn't even wait un
til after the preference luncheon
to cast aside her dignity... as she
ran toward a new pledge, slipped
and literally fell at her feet. . .
incidentally ruining a favorite
pair of nylons.
Perhaps one of the most em
barrassing incidents of that day
occurred when a sorority girl ob
served a group of her sisters hy
sterically welcoming a new mem
ber into the fold, meanwhile ig
noring he companion. . .so our
kind-hearted friend, thinking the
ignored one was a yet unrecog
nized pledge, rushed up to the
girl, threw her arms around her
and screamed how glad she was
to see her back. Our rushee smiled
patiently, extricated herself and
sailed on to the next house...
where she was greeted with
squeals of delight.
Fraternity rush week was
much more formal. All the boys
had to do wa sspot a prospective
member, wham him over the head,
and dump him in a closet. . .some
hours later, the door was pened
and the weakened individual pre
sented with a pin. (At least that's
what they tell me.)
Then there was the tired fra
ternity man who was heard to
express the wish that he could
"just once" go up to a rushee and
tell him to "drop dead, fella!"
. . .and vice versa, I might add.

Well Any way, the Cornhuskers
Used To Do It All The Time
Every once in a while, when all
my studies are done and we can't
find a fourth for bridge, I like to
go up to my room, light up my
pipe, and just meditate.
And invariably my thoughts roll
back to the distant past, when
men weren't given much credit
for deeds which today would hurl
them bodily into fame. The things
that happened in those days would
chill the blood of the most hard
hearted human of today.
I guess there was just too
much of this sensation stuff, and
people got tired of hearing about
prize fights, suicides, and flights
Woman Asserts Her Rights
On Lower-Down Skirt Fight
BY ELLIE SWANSON.
Knowing full well that I am
venturing into a touchy subject
without the vaguest idea of what
I am talking about, I will now
give you the real low-down on
the lower-down skirts.
Since we all have a fair idea
of what men think about this
new plague to the pocket-book
judging by one remark from a
discouraged member of the op
posite sex who was heard to say
"you practically have to see your
girl in a bathing suit to tell what
kind of a figure she has," we will
now venture forth to the lady :
view on the skirts.
The way I see it, there are three
kinds of figures . . . the short
dumpy kind, the tall string-bean
kind, and the perfect figure. To
be perfectly frank, in a long,
straight skirt, the short dumpy
kind looks shorter and dumpier.
the string-bean type looks more
string-beany, and the perfect fig
ure looks great in anything .
congratulations to you few.
Fashion s Excuses.
Let us now look to fashion's
excuses for the controversy they
have caused. Fashion says that
they are far more flattering and
graceful because the body is less
exposed and the skirts hide more
of the leg, making you think that
the leg is better looking than it
actually is. At least it will arouse
men's curiosity and have a good
fifty-fifty opportunity of being
whistled at.
Fashion also states that the new
skirts are extremely slimming and
that they gave you an allusion of
a better figure. We must wear
high heels, and now that we are
convinced, all we have to do is
buy an entire new wardrobe
So far I have heard no objections
on that score except from a few
parents and husbands who sit
around worrying about butter go
ing up to a dollar a pound.
Sure test for Legs.
You can practically tell by talk'
ill
to the Moon. Then, too, the price
of whiskey being what it was in
those days, lots of people probably
figured the writers were half
crocked when they heard of these
gory deeds.
My thoughts always surround
and refuse to leave a certain be
nighted man. I suspect what he
did went unheralded even in his
day. But he did it, dang it, he did
it, and I class him with Alex
ander, George Washington, and
Gustavson.
Yuo mv hat is off to the first
sportswriter who, after taking
into consideration ail me dope on
the Nebraska-Notre Dame game,
had guts enough to pick the
Huskers.
ing to a girl what kind of legs she
has these days. If she heartily ap
proves of the longer skirts, you
can be fairly positive that she
either has knock-knees, bow-legs
or both. If she refuses to wear
long skirts, she either has a gorge
ous gams or else she is broke.
As a whole, however, in spite of
nasty remarks issued from bitter
mankind, the general view seems
to be that the new skirt lengths
are here to stay, at least until
fashion editors think of a new
money-making scheme. Anyway,
we girls won't have to put up with
snide remarks from men much
longer... the newest fashion word
is that men's pants are going up
two inches. "He who laughs last
laughs best."
YM-YW Holds
Annual Retreat
Plans for the new school term
highlighted proceedings at the an
nual fall retreat of the YM-YW
cabinets which was held at Pio
neers Park on Tuesday. About
twenty-five people attended the
affair which lasted all day.
In the morning the group
heard the reports of the delegates
to the Rocky Mountain conven
tion held last June at Estes Park
in Colorado. Delegates included:
Laverna Acker, Phyllis Schinzel,
Bernice Young, Phil Skinner and
Phil Lyness.
Harold Rounds, travelling sec
retary for the international com
mittee of the YMCA addressed
the group in the afternoon. He has
just recently returned to this
country from the Orient and em
phasized the need for financial
aid in. China. Mr. Rounds went"
on to discuss how funds contrib
uted to WSSF and WYF are used
for the relief of students in China
and for. providing YMCA workers
with food, and shelter in bombed
out sectors of the country.
The days activities were con
cluded with a worship service in
the evening.
Eager Freshmen
Take On Campus
By Pat Norden.
Condolences to all new fresh
men! This week old U.N. campus
has been crawling with eager little
people who have come trustingly
to the fold fairly reeking with am
bition.
It is no longer hard to dis
tinguish the freshman. In the
morning, he beams with anticipa
tion. He looks wide-eyed and alert
and has yet to develop that
world-weary look common to the
wise old upperclassman. In the
evening there is no problem at all
for there just aren t any. Doubt
less they are all at home relig
iously reading T. B. pamphlets.
Home in the Coliseum.
To the matriculating freshman.
the coliseum is a second home.
They seem contented to spend
most of their time there, making
new friends and thoroughly en
joying the homey, pleasant at
mosphere. Many bring their lunch
and make a day of it. Of course.
there is some confusion. For in
stance, one likely sped man stood
in a registration line for an hour
thinking he was waiting to mir-
chase tickets to Tommy Dorsey.
But to those who survive these
first grueling weeks of school, we
offer congratulations and a booth
in the Crib. Also some friendly
advice always be in when the
street lights go on, beware of en
iors and read the Rag twice a da.
See you in the Libraryl .
