Classes seem to be occupying
most of the girls' time (?) around
here as of late, so let's consider
the class costume. In most cases
it's a sweater and skirt combo
and we've seen some mighty
sweet ones. For example, anda
shining one at that, take a good
look at Jan Bruce in a twin
sweater set of cherry red cash
mere. Pleated all around is the
red, green and white plaid skirt
that goes so well with it.
Pale yellow and grey bring
out the red in Pat Baldwin's hair.
The yellow is in a fuzzy angora
sweater and grey is the color of
a tailored covert skirt. Or if you
prefer robin's egg blue with
brown, you'll admire Eloise
Taustian in her short sleeved
slip-on and straight skirt.
Revives Classic.
Marian Bahcnsky revives a
favorite classic. She wears a bril
liant kelly green slip-on featur
ing the rolled turtle neck.
Warm enough for even the
coldest winter nights is the
sweater the girls borrowed from
the boys. A red, white and navy
ski sweater keeps Pat Guthin
happy when worn with a black
wool skirt.
Sally Becker believes soft
colors are any gals best bet and
proves it by wearing a soft coral
sweater with the ever popular
glen plaid skirt. Mary Sue Hol
land believes in brighter colors.
Her favorite, and yours, too,
when you see it, is a grey, green
and ruby red plaid skirt with a
harmonizing green slip-on.
Diane Thomas teaches the
campus a trick or two with her
brown and red clan plaid skirt
with a brilliant yellow skirt of
billowing dimensions and, a
hand-knit white long sleeved
cardigan. j
Managing to look eonl and col
lected on some of Nebraska's
warmer afternoons is quite a task
and brown tucked-in sweater.
The idea that really makes it
click is the matching plaid scarf
knotted casually around her
neck.
Keeps Out Cold.
Mary Ryan keeps out the. chill
in a bottle green gabardine suit.
The feminine touch is achieved
with a frosty white blouse.
BY JOEL BAILEY.
This is a warning to all partici
pants in the co mmon usage of the
telephone. First, I had best de
fine this mechnical apparatus. In
a peaceful home the phone gen
erally reposes on a desk, shelf, or
small table; when it jangles, usu
ally with decent intervals lapsing
between rings, it is calmly an
swered and replaced gently on
the hook. But in a sorority or
fraternity house, the phone is
the most abused of objects.
For instance, lets take the
"Gammas," a local group, called
"Gams" for short. When the
phone rings at the "Gamma"
house, all 36 of the Gam's
pledges, large pledge class due
to a "snake pit" employed dur
ing rush week, descend on the
phone. Several of these' unfortu
nates emerge from the scramble
toothless, hairless and minus
several aids to beauty, like an
eyer or ear, but in this manner,
the phone is always answered.
Pledges are so eager in the be
ginning!
"Are You There?"
Now the problem of how to
answer the phone must be dealt
with. It is usually explained
bluntly to all new pledges that
such cheerful greetings over the
phone as: "It's your nickel, start
Company, which crumb do you
talking." or "Gamma" Cracker

but "Poochie" Rediger manages

Tweedy, indeed, is Nancy Davis

There's lots more I could say
but they tell me I've filled up
enough space, so till next week
we hope this years well.

girl who desires to continue to
breathe without much difficulty.
Thus, the pledge after a few
brief, explosive instructions says
gayly, "Hello," or "Good Evening
Gamma."
Now enters the villian! Our
biggest problem, the Joe College
who answers back in such a
sharp manner as to entirely con
fuse the sweet young thing on
the other end of the phone. For
instance, he might say "Drop
dead," "What's good about it?",
"Good night, Gamma!" or
"What's on slab 15 in the pits to
night?" As the pledge has been taught
to reply only, "I'll call her," and
then bellow .up to third floor,
one can see how these various
replies might stump her and
drive her to such depths as pull
ing the phone from the wall or
bashing her head into the plas
ter, which is extremely messy.
