All University students are in That Strong, Clear Voice . . . Sometimes a strong, clear voice a voice of hope and progress rises above the clamor of the "White Spot" of the nation. Sometimes that voice makes itself heard and felt in a state gripped with lethargy, intent upon the past. Then sometimes new hope springs up in the echoes of such a voice. Such has been the case with the recent editorial writ ings of James E. Lawrence, editor of the Lincoln Star. Mr. Laurence took to his front page last Wednesday to point out to the state legislature the progress Nebraska's neigh bors are making in the support of their state universities. He dynamically analyzed the recent appropriations of the surrounding states for their universities, showing that in all proposed expenditures would be higher than the year before. All were boosted several hundred thousand dollars! Mr. Lawrence, long a loyal Nebraskan, a leading pro- motor of his state, wrote: "Nebraska's 'White Spot' in thejvited to come, according to the year of 1949 loses some of its sheen when placed along side Nebraska's good neighbors to the north, west, south and east.

If the girl had a bottle of this particular shade, she received an other bottle free. If she was also wearing it, the "Mystery Lady" presented her with two bottles. The seven girls who received the polish are: Mary Boch, two bottles; Lorn a Bornholdt, one; Joan Farrar, one; Shirley Hahn, two; and Jenny Tomsik. two.

All ready for an early morning coffee date, Carmen Christoffel wears a three tone blue cotton play dress fea turing invisible pleats, a round neckline and short sleeves. About noontime the girls start blossoming out on sun-decks in shorts, bathing suits and what have you. Jan Champine is ready for the sun in a pair of blue and white striped denim shorts and a brief red blouse. The outfit is completed with a matching blue and white cap. Looking forward to the openins; of Capitol beach, Barbara Raf burn tries on her navy blue strap less bathing suit. Unusual are the metallic stripes and the bloomer like trunks. Pat Baldwin is ready for a date on a cool spring evening in a fine houndstooth check bolero suit of navy and white. The long sleeves are cuffed, and the collar is rounded. Without the jacket the suit becomes a dress, for it has an attached jersey top, empire waist line and pockets which disap pear into the folds of the skirt. Lime slacks and battle jacket are Dottie Brown's idea of a good picnic combination. Dottie pairs this with a melon colored blouse. Alice Van Brant is ready for any class in a multi-colored striped cotton, featuring all around unpressed pleats and short sieeves. Also interesting is me 10 Marilyn Nelson is fresh as novelty weave, sky-blue cotton. The scalloped sleeves give a cape effect to the bodice. The gathered skirt is tied with a cord of the same material. The formal season is far from over. Virginia Lapp will be ready in a pink dotted swiss dress with pearl buttons down the back to the waistline and straps gathered int othe bodice. The formal has a very full and fluffy skirt.
