Male Mistakes
'Follies' for
Convocation
A very embarrassed young
maii walked out of the Nebraska
theater last night after the first
act of the annual Coed Follies.
With a red lace he said that
he thought that it was an All
University convocation, and that
all students were required to
attend. ,
Upon further questioning by
authorities, he admitted that the
show was good, but was dis
appointed because the audience
and speakers were al! girls. "1
should have stayed home and j
studied," he commented.
After the AWS board lan him
through the mill, he admitted i
that he had gone to the Nebraska I
theater in the afternoon to a
movie and had fallen asleep. I
When informed that no alter- j
noon movie was shown Mon-
day, he claimed that he was a
workman tor Ajax Light com-
pany, sent to fix the stage lights.
Too bad I.: didn't get to see
the rest of the show.

'Taboo1 Ignored
By Campus Men
Delta Gamma and Kappa
honors in the annual Coed Follies show presented at tho
Nebraska theater Monday night with their prize winning
skit and curtain acts.
"Destination Dreamland" was the first place skit
which brought first prize to the
DG's, and "Southern Syncopa
tion" was the prize winning
curtain act of the Kappa's. Sec
ond place in the curtain acts
went to Kappa Alpha Theta,
with the "Perils of Pauline." Al
pha Omicron Pi took second
place in the skit division with
"What Became of the Voice of
the Turtle," while "For Heaven

Delta Delta.
Male Visitors
The nine skits and curtain
acts were witnessed by a sell
out crowd of coeds, and by a
record-breaking number of male
spectators, who are traditionally
barred from the coed show
sponsored by AWS. The first
two rows of the theater were
filled with photographers, and
members of the "press."
In addition, the usual number
of female impersonators were
discovered and escorted out by
AWS board members. Toward
the last of the show, undisguised
males invaded the balcony, and
witnessed the remaining acts un
molested. Chairman of Coed Follies
Ginny Guhin announced at the
beginning of the show that Zeta
Beta Tau should receive special
recognition for being able to get
the highest number of men into
the. show legally. Six ZBT's were
among the male spectators in
the front row. Another out- ,
standing male trick was the use
oi an oia-iasnionea iiasn pan,
which uses magnesium powder i
and makes a cloud of smoke
when exploded.
DG Skit
The prize winning skit of
Delta Gamma featured a train
station setting, with several vo
cal and dance numbers. Includ
ed were songs by a Hollywood
star, tap dances by Bell boys, an
Indian maiden number, and a
finale "dreamland" song and
dance. Appropriate background
music ior the skit was provided
by the DG combo.
A river showboat was the
theme which won first prize in
the curtain acts for Kappa Kap
pa Gamma. Black-faced min
strels sang the traditional songs
of the showboats. Another fea
ture of the "Southern Syncopa
tion" number was an imitf.iion
of the Mammy singer Al Jolson.
Intermission Acts
Intermission entertainment was
provided between each skit and
curtain act. The songs of Sue
Holland: Jean Stevens' version
of Paul Revere's ride: Patsy
Dutton's rendition of two char
actor songs: a hillbilly trio
composed of Jan Lindquist, Pat
Lirsen. and Jean Caha: the Pi
Phi trio, made up of Bev Lar
son, Frna Marie Treftz, and
Nancy Widener; a demonstration
of a woman driver by Sharon
Fritzler: and songs by Barbara
Young kept the audience enter
tained while scenery was being
changed backstage.
The last skit to be presented,
though not on the program, was
the traditional Mortar Board
act. This year, members of the
senior women's honorary pre
sented a take-off on the men's
activities on campus. Corn Cobs,
Corn Shucks, Innocents, and

Bizad Reports
; Sales Drop
In Nehraska
Retail sales in eight of Ne
braska's principal cities in Janu
ary showed the usual seasonal
drop from December, the Uni
versity of Nebraska Business
Administration College reported
Monday.
For the state, retail sales last
month were 29.7 per cent below
the December level.
The college's Department of
Business Research reported also
that for Nebraska retail sales in
January. 1950 were 5.6 per cent
better than for the same month
a year ago. But the department
hung a caution sign on these fig
ures. Dr. Edgar Palmer, department
head, said Nebraska's sales were
abnormally low a year ago be
cause of the blizzard. He said
that a "more nearly normal" fig
ure might be two per cent down.

Draft News Good
For College Men
Under the present draft law
passed in 1948. students need
have little fear of its interrupting
their college career.
All males upon reaching the
age of 18 are still required to
register, but classification will
not affect them until calls ar
made through Selective Service.
It is reasonably sure that no
calls will be made during the
current year. In case calls are
received, students can finish the
year in which he receives the
call and there is a minimum ot
sixty days' notice between the
time of a call and the actual in
duction. During the past three years
the Navy has not used the draft
law, the Air Force and Marine
Corps have long waiting lists and
the Army took less than 30.000
draftees so students can rest as
sured that their chances of be
ing called are slim.
