OPERATIONS COSTUME DESIGN ...
Cadet Officers to Stage
Dress Sketch Competition
By Emily Heine
Attention all ambitious and
eager dress designers those
with talent preferred! Instead
of just doodling or going to
sleep during that 8:00, 11:00 or
1:00 lecture or whenever you
would be inclined to do these
common, conventional things be
different! When next you feel
your attention waning, grab a
pencil and design a new costume
for the Honorary Colonel to wear
at the Military Ball, Dec. 3. Just
like that, see? Simple.
Contest Opens Today
There is a contest, starting to
day, which is open, through the
courtesy of Bob Batten and the
Cadet Officers' association, to all

ROTC corps and their wives.

creation created instead of re
posing forever on the back page

form, but a military theme
should be used. Possible types
of design include skirt and
blouse, evening gown or jacket
and skirt. Appropriate head
wear may be included and it is
suggested, although not required,
that the school colors be used.
Winner to Receive Watch

a wrist watch (man's or ladies')
from Gardners' jewelry store

'Keep Your Resistance
High', Warns Feunning
Micklc's Mike Causes Mild
Sensation in Gopher Stands
By Ann I. Witness
This is the game behind the
game.
This is the story of the little
man and lady who traveled to
Minnesota and for $3.50, plus ex
penses, watched Minnesota eke
out a victory over the Scarlet and
Cream.
The section of Nebraska fans
contained only a handful of stu
dents. Still. Yell King Bill Mickle
and Cheerleader Jo Lisher got all
of their support. With the account
of the game, Minneapolis papers
carried a three-column picture of
Bill with his "never-before-seen
electric megaphone.
Among the alums who jour
neyed to Gopherland was an ob
viously inebriated middle-aged
woman and her escort. Her plaintive-sounding
cries of :'Come on
Nee-brass-kiiii" resounded in the
cool air.
The Dyckman lobby was deco
rated with a score of red N feath

"Keep your resistnace high."
That was the advice given
yesterday by Dr. Samuel Fuen
ning, Student Health director, to
students concerned over campus
polio reports.
He disclosed that though five
cases of polio have been
treated among students this se
mester, the turning point appears
to have been reached. No cases
have been reported in the past
week.
Dr. Fuenning emphasized that
the preventive rule for almost
all diseases is also the basic one
for polio. He said to "avoid all
exhaustion, get plenty of rest,
and eat well."
No preventive measures can be
taken on the campus, he pointed
out, because the cause of polio
has not yet been determined. The
usual sanitation principles should
be observed, he added.
"If a student has been in con
tact with a known case of polio,"
said Dr. Fuenning with emphasis,
"he should report to Student
Health daily for ten days for

ers supplied by rooters lodged
there. One feather was conveni
ently placed in the hat of Robin
Hood high above the dining room
entrance. Some of the more prac
tical Dyckman employees took the
feathers, saying. "Why, they're
what everybody's wearing these
days."
One of the fastest round-trips
was undoubtedly made by Na
tional Air Guard members in -a
C-47 transport plane. Still a re
turn trip of 7'4 hours in a cer
tain 1947 Pontiac was quite a feat.
During the community sing ses
sion of a "Billy the Kid" melo
dramer, some fans broke out with
"There 13 No Place Like Ne
braska." The cast, almost entirely
students at Minnesota, retaliated
with their "Ski-U-Mah."
Exhausted though they may be,
the students who went to the
Minnesota-Nebraska game, can
they like to remember that 13-12
score. ...

Dwight Griswold, recent chief
of the American Mission to
Greece, will give a first-hand re
port on Greece at 11 a. m. to
day in the Union ballroom.
Convo. Open to Public
- Griswold will be introduced to
the first all-university convoca
tion of the year by Dean of the
Faculties Carl W. Borgmann. The
convocation is open to the public,
since it will be Griswold's first
major public address since his re
turn from Greece.
A university graduate of 1914,
Mr. Griswold was governor of
Nebraska from 1941 to 1947.
After a short assignment with the
U. S. military government in
Germany as director of the com
munication and public welfare
division, he was appointed di
rector of AMAG by President
Truman in June, 1947.
AMAG Spends 250 Million
AMAG, also known as part of
the Truman Plan, was a 350
million dollar effort. Some of its
accomplishments include strength
ening the Greek national army,
blocking a spiral of inflation
which threatened to destroy the
Greek currency system, recon
structing roads and clearing ports.
It also reopened the Corinth
canal and helped the Greek gov
ernment to institute tax reforms
and civil service.
One of the first problems Gris
wold faced in Greece was stabil
izing the Greek government. He
played a major role in the dif
ficult task of inducing the Lib
eral and Populist parties to form
a coalition cabinet.
