This is the second honor she has received since coming to the University, having reigned as Miss Nebraska in 1948. Miss Boothe will receive a trip to Washington, D. C, where she will represent Nebraska in the annual Cherry Blossom Festival April 1 and 2. She will compete with 47 other candidates for the title of Cherry Blossom queen.

Miss B,iothe was selected as the best representative in a field of twelve typical Nebraska girls. The girls were picked in ball- rooms throughout the state in contests sponsored by the Ne braska Ballroom Operators asso ciation. A senior in Teachers College, she is majoring in education. She said she plans to teach after graduation. Snow News When Flakes Hit Huskerhind Snow again! Nobody likes It. All we hear is groans and "Darn! 1 hope it stops by Saturday so I can go to Omaha." But maybe the trouble at Ne braska is that we don't have enough of the stuff to really make it worthwhile. Once in a while somebody suggests a sleigh ride; and if the white substance doesn't disappear by the week end, a few people occasionally even follow through on the plans. Snow In packed form even Rives some people a chance to write a "Letterip" to The Daily Nebraskan. But usually we at Nebraska do not enjoy our snow. At New York's Syracuse uni versity, where snow is measured In feet instead of inches, students find time for something else be tides gripes about nature's great white blanket. They go in for building of snowmen in a big way. Snow Sculpture In fact they even have a con test to see who can build the best one. And they call it "snow sculpture" a fancy name for some fancy snowman building. This year the theme of the contest was "Frozen Funnies" end there were frozen replicas of Uncle Remus, the Little King, Alley Oop, (which, along with a rnythical dragon won first prize for Phi Upsilon fraternity), and Dick Tracy beating up Fearless Fosdick. Phi Delta Theta at Syracuse won honorable mention with a snow Snuffy, and Sigma Alpha Mu placed with a bullet-ridden can of "Old Faithful" beans. Fearless Fosdick, and L'il Abner. Chi Omega revealed Denny Dimwit as the "Syracusean of the month." There was even a University sponsored "Sno-Ball" dance. So the next time you start to eripe, remember snow can be beautiful. (Darn!

The institute has become the annual conference at which major decisions about the C.C.U.N. pro gram, policy and organization are decided. Therefore, some time during the institute will be de voted to these questions as well as to elections to replace retiring board members and state chair men. One student from each of the colleges which has set Up United Nations committees and councils is eligible to attend the confer ence. Nebraska has been asked to send a delegate . through NUCWA. C. C. U. N. has said that strong consideration should be given to students returning to school in the fall so that the institute will have as far-reaching results as possible in the colleges. Applications must be marie on or before Friday, April 14, and must be accompanied by a regis tration foe of $10. Notice of ac ceptance will be sent after the final deadline of April 14. Appli cation fees will not be returned if students accepted for the in stitute withdraw after that date. Room and board for the con ference will be $.'10 for the week. In addition, students will pay their own travel expenses in go ing to New York and must be prepared to meet certain other expenses, such as local carfare and one or two luncheons at Lake Success. Bus accommodations to Lake Success, however, are in cluded in the registration fee. All students will live at Finch college.

Iowa State Hit By Red Seare Two men in the Iowa State college economics department, one a graduate student and the other an instructor have had immigration troubles lately. Frank Meissner, the graduate, faces possible deportation charges by the United States im migration service. Because he was suspected of being pro communist when he marie a speech recently on Thomas Marsaryk. Federal officials, investigating Meissncr's visa after hearing the charge, found that he was sup posed to have entered this coun try on the condition that he was a teacher for at least two years at home and that he follow the same profession here. Meissner is paroled to a pro fessor in the economics depart ment who maintains that he has never noticed any communistic tendencies in the student and is convinced that he has none. Dr. Laszlo V'alko, Hungarian economist who joined the staff this year has no troubles at present, but it took him two years to get from Switzerland to this country because he was suspected of being a communist. In Hungary Dr. Valko worked for the government before the war and for farm co-operative groups later. When the Nazis were beaten he returned to gov ernment service, only to leave it again when the communists took over. , pliomlttle llfif Vi,u-1111818 ,u"' Michigan Expert Dr. Richard T.

Michigan Begins Flying Classes The little red sehoolhouse has won its wings since the new "flying classroom plan was initiated at Michigan State col lege.

THE DAILY NEBRASKA Ys to sponsoi Work Projects In St. Louis The YMCA and YWCA will sponsor a Summer Service proj ect in St. Louis, June 16 to Aug. 14. The principal purpose of this type of project is to provide ex perience, outside the student's home environment and the "ivory towers" of his college. These summer camps consist of thirty hours work per week on the staff of a settlement, church, neighborhood, or other social agencies. Students are placed in an agency by the proj ect director on the basis of the application and reference papers sent by the student. Students will be put in charge of directing play and recrea tional groups, coaching sports, teaching handicrafts and leading various interest groups. Any college student may ap ply. However, members of YMCA's, YWCA's and Student Christian associations will be given priority. Sinre this is a service and learning opportunity, the pay will be minimum. Room and board and a small amount for incidental weekly expenses are provided by the agency. Upon acceptance for the proj ect, there is a $10 registration fee and a $30 seminar tuition. Any interested persons should contact Ruth Shinn at the Ellen Smith hall YWCA office or Charles Kemp in the Temple building. Career Warning Told Teachers Teachers who do not deliber ately plan their careers are in danger of winding up on the educational dump heap at 35, says Prof. Frederick Redefer at New York University's School of Education. I He stated that the average man past 40 years of age and the woman at 35 are teaching in the community where they will spend the rest of their career. To meet this situation, the New York Bureau of Appoint ments has changed from merely job-getting to career counseling. The Bureau acts as a deposi tory where credentials may be kept on a current basis at all times. This system makes it possible for teachers to gain po- sitions in later life, NU Debaters Claim Two Undefeated Teams at Meet It was a pleasing week end for University debaters. Although there were only five undefeated teams out of the 106 participating in the 10th annual Debate and Discussion Confer ence, the University squad claimed two of the five. Fifty four schools had teams entered. One of the sidelishts of the conference was the fictional bat tle between the University and Kansas State. Ever since debate was inaugurated at the Univer sity 56 years ago. the two schools have been arguing about who won the lirsi cieoaie. uniy two judges had shown up for the meet, and each voted opposite ways. Luncheon Debate During the luncheon at the Union ballroom Saturday noon for all contestants and coaches, the two schools carried on the contets in the form of entertain ment. Two Kansas debaters played a guitar and accordian duet for their "case." and the University presented Lois Nelson in a take-off on a popular song for their side. Chairman of the luncheon, Eloise Paustian de cided that contest would continue until next year. The final resolution that was passed by the conference on the foreign policy of the United States to the Orient, was pre- m Ma COME HERE FOR THE Arrow "Gabanaro" An Arrow sports shirt of t fin quality gabardine. $ Just received a shipment of Arrow's handsome "Gabanaro" sports shirts of luxurious, washable, gabardine, "Gabanaro" is tailored with Arrow's traditional skill and will stand up to long, hard wear.

Connecticut Plans Course Critique The University of Connecticut has a Course Critique committee which sends out questionnaires to get student opinion on courses offered. This year the procedure is to poll the entire student body, whereas last year only those with B and C averages were sent questionnaires. The purpose of the Critique this year is to cover about one hundred courses in as many fields as possible. ceded by a Congressional-like heated batle. Friday evening, approximately 40 superior dis cussers started at 7:30 p.m. to draft the resolution. Disagree ment became so violent among the group that the minority split, and adjourned to another room, about an hour later. It was after 11 p.m before the group ad journed. The minority party, however, became the majority party the following day as the general as- ! sembly of delegates decided that j the splitting force was the reso- lution they wanted to adopt. Chief Disagreement Chief disagreements seemed to stem from whether American aid should be administered through the United Nations or not, and whether countries already dom inated by Communist govern I ments should receive aid unless j directed against the interests of the United States, or whether it should not be offered in the first place. Three major trips remain on I I the schedule for the squad. March 9 through 12 two teams I will travel to the University of ! ! Wisconsin for a tournament. Teams will also be sent to the : Missouri Valley tournament and I a southern circuit including 1 Texas. 0 iiiton Sjcnd Morrill arc also outstanding foreign art ists.

Thirteen Nebraska artists have been invited to display works in the show. These Nebraskans Square Dance Craze Finds 'Home' at NU By Jerry Bailey One sees quite a variety of skirts along North 16th street. Most are the ordinary, or pen cil type. When it's party time, formals are the thing. And if it is something in calico or ging ham that sweeps the walk, she's off to a square dance, boys! Because of this postwar craze that is nation-wide, increasing numbers of city slickers are try ing to dance like farmers. A coed stands a pretty good chance of running into the thing some time, be it. in phys-ed class, on the Ag campus, or in the Union. All pity is herewith extended to the ignorant innocent who attends one of these affairs in tight skirt and spike heels. She will be lucky to get off with a broken leg. The only practical costume includes the coolest blouse, slippers with low heels or none at all. and a voluminous skirt that can take up to a bolt and a half of material. Connoisseurs among the males think the last item makes a very pretty picture when whirling and swirling. Hop Fashions While on the subject of the farm hop fashions, we might note that fashionable steady cou ples sport the gal's skirt and the guy's shirt made from the same hunk of calico. Who does the sewing? You guessed it! "Here comes city gal, six bars late, Wrong way 'round with a Conga gait . . ." A high in hilarity occurs when our Miss finds herself be ing swung for the first time. She will attempt to do the steps in the best ballroom style. One hopes that she will learn that square dancing has steps all of its own before her toes mashed too many times. When the caller (that man behind the microphone) says something about "Swing your honey till she feels funny . . ." then, gals, get on your scooter. Keep that right foot on the floor and pivot on it; pedal with your left. Settle back in the bum's arm, hip to hip. Swing away! But none of that cheek-to-cheek-from-head-to-toe stuff! Ignore Caller As to the caller, listen for the Be TV Picture Of COMFORT In Your Arrow "Gabanaro" y-- 4' 'J I e The Bnest GABARDINE j j sports shirt value a man 11 could ask fort " v&Srf? 1 Completely WASHABLE!

All the funny rhyme does is help keep time. Stuff like "roll that jug around the floor . . ." just makes good copy for posters and the Rag.

The more nimble females are supposed to translate things into their own I terms. Democracy Is the keynote of a square flance. vvaiuiowers ami i stay that way long. In fact, mix ers and . dances are designed to provide plenty of variety in dancing partners. Couples meet, dance a few together, and are separated. Some selfish men have been known to complain that they don't see their date between the beginning and end of the dance. "Grnb her by the ears, boys, and swing like thunder. Sashay to the horse trough and hold her noggin un der!" Swing Stuff Beware, girls. In the square dance, a eal may be spun until j dizzy or swung until both of her feet are a long way from the floor. A good fast course in iitterbunging would be a per ! feet pre-flight course to this i dance of the folk. Hope you're ' the athletic type. I We now assume a serious j countenance. Square dancing may be all that is said of it; no j apologies are offered. But the i companion round dances, done by couples, give excellent op j oortunity for beautiful and en- iovable dancing. They may be i fast or slow, new or old. In cluded in this category are the j waltzes, polkas, schottisches, the Varsouvienne, Cotton Eye Joe, the Carlysle. Here, every son? has its own dance steps.
