PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Wednesday, Novemper iv, iu, 7 "" ' u 1 ' Coeds Should Pursue Date, Ask Now' Now is the time for all smart coeds to come to the aid of their dates. Or in other words this is advise the ladies of the campus to start looking around for a male specimen to take to the Mortar Board Ball which is a Sadie Hawkins affair via Lincoln way. This year's annual Mortar Board Ball will be full of sur prises that will not be revealed until the night of the ball, Friday, Dec. 8. Only ten more shopping days left to find a date for the ball so if you're one of those slow coeds, you'd better get on the ball if you want to go to the Ball. Retaliation Tradition has it that if you were lucky enough to go to the Military Ball you retaliate by asking your escort to the Mortar Board Ball. This is not necessary, so you may consider the days before this turn-about affair as open hunting season until you've got ten your limit (one male to every go-getter, please). Even though the campus ratio is four men to every girl, some ladies (the bums) might have more than their share. Bill Glassford reports that he's been keeping his fingers crossed ever since he heard some coeds were already on the prowl for dates to the Ball. Lucky He feels he was quite lucky in having only one sideline casualty for the Oklahoma game due to the fact that some girl went all out to literally "trap" a husky Husker for the turn-about affair. The ambitious coeds looking for some of Harry Good's Amazon players will have a difficult time finding them. He's keeping them in hiding until after the Ball for fear of losing some of his players before the first basketball game. Now really, girls, can't you act more like ladies? Put those bear traps away and fill in those man holes you've dug in front of the fraternities. Congenial Methods There are more congenial ways to get a male to answer "yes" in reply to your invitation to escort him to the dance. Here are some of the different Safety . .

Janu ary and February are the months in which most accidents occur. As for the time of day, twi light seems to be the danger period. The most accidents hap pened between 5 and 6 p.m., with 4 to 5 p.m., following closely. Freshman Actors To Present Plays Members of the freshman act ing group will present two one act plays Friday, Dec. 1, in Room 201, Temple building.

Dallas Williams is the director of "Suppressed Desires," and the director of "Fumed Oak" is Jack Wen strand. Missouri Coeds Like New Dorm Most Mizzou students wouldn't apply the word luxury to their living quarters in Columbia, but freshman girls living in the new women's dormitory feel they may use it freely. This mansion-like building consists of five stories which begin on the main flood with a blond maple lounge furnished with soft roomy couches and shining glass-topped tables. At one end of the big room French doors lead to a patio with the proper white metal lawn furni ture. The traditional Georgian room, off the main hall, is set off by a magnificent blue fireplace. In this room upperclassmen may entertain their guests after clos ing hours. Each girl is furnished a bed, desk and chair, bureau and a larga closet. Overstuffed chairs are to be supplied within a few weeks. Each floor is equipped with a laundry room and a kitchenette for midnight snacks. CLASSIFIED TOT1B for iwnt ATERS. 13$ So. IS.

The question of who is to play for the MB Ball still remains unsolved. methods used on the campus last week that paid off: She: Are you busy, Dec. 8? He: No I'm not.

With these sound words of wis dom as their guide, four mem bers of the Nebraska Squadron of the Arnold Air Society left the Lincoln Naval Air Station bound for the national conven tion that was held in St. Louis the 24th and 25th of Novem ber. The four delegates, Chuck Hughes, Dick Churchill, Bob Reichenbach and Art Epstien, were guests of the host squad ron, St. Louis University. When all of the other dele gates, representing 32 states, and 54 schools were assembled, it looked as . if the hotel headquar ters was an Air Force barracks. The main function of the con clave was the business meeting that was held at the St. Louis U. Law school auditorium. Dur ing the course of the day's agenda Bob Reichenbach moved that the society form a written play for the proper proceedure of training pledges of the Arnold Air society. 'The motion was passed by an overwhelming margin. Miami University was selected host for the next national con vention.

Saturday night saw the concalve brought to a close with a tur key dinner at the Elks Club. During the breaks of the meet ing sessions numerous men were swapping war stories, and renewing acquaintances from Summer camps, and from the service. To be sure, the men that were stationed at Scott Field last summer for R.O.T.C. camp dug deep into the little black book to find dates for themselves and their buddies. Some of the buddies complained that the dig ging was too deep. The four Nebraska delegates returned home Sunday. Judging Team 13th in Nation The University livestock judg ing team placed 13th in the na tion at the International Live stock Exposition judging contest in Chicago Saturday. Members of the team were Robert Beck, Dean Eberspacher, Gayle Hattan, Paul Kemling and Robert Raun, all Ag college sen iors. The team won third in sheep judging and sixth in cattle judg ing. Hattan was high man on the team for total points and Beck was the contest's ninth high individual in judging cattle. Thirty-two teams from col leges throughout the country competed in the contest with the Kansas State team taking first place honors. Brooklyn Paper Suspended Again j The Brooklyn college's paper, the Vanguard, has been sus- j pended for the second time in six j months. Last spring the faculty adviser to the paper quit because the paper would not follow his rec ommendations. At the time, the Vanguard was called monopol istic because it was maintained by compulsory student fees. The latest suspension resulted from an editorial criticizing the dean for his handling of a stu dent organization called the "Labor Youth League of Brook lyn College" a group which was ordered to disband, allegedly be cause its views on the Korean War coincided with those of the Communist party.

By NU Teacher w Marine animals which lived in ancient seas and migrated widely across the earth were depicted by Dr. Maxim Elias, University paleontologist, as "tossing an antidiluvial monkey wrench" into precise dating of some geological formations solely on the basis of the contained fossils. Speaking Saturday, Nov. 18, in Washington, D.C. before the 63rd annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, he pointed out that geologists have been ac customed to date geological for mations precisely by similar fos sil conten in widely seperated areas. He said that time must be taken into consideration in dating geological formations. The mig rations were usually associated with , the disturbances of the earth's crust and the formation of such mountain ranges as the Appalachians and the Rocky Mountains. Dr Elias also brought out that fossils generally thought to be characteristic of the United States are actually found in rocks in the British Isles. He stressed the need for evaluating the evidence from fossils in terms of the crustal changes which caused shallow seas to ebb and flow across the earth's surface. As an example he used the re sults, of a study of the Springer series of rock formations in southern Oklahoma. The fossils in the Springer are a strange mixture, half of them being similar to fossils in the Pennsyl vanin rocks above and to the Mississippian rocks below. The other half are "foreigners, being identical or closely related to species found in Scotland. This suggests that the changes in level of the earth's crust which caused the United States to be dry land at this time, allowed a long shallow sea to serve as a path of migration for the animals living in Scottish seas and allow ed them to reach the interior of North America. Grade Reports Due Saturday Report from Dean Thompson s office has set the date for six weeks reports Saturday, The gxades are to be in the office by the end of each six weeks per iod. The reports will be compiled and downs will be sent out start ing at the end of next week. Next week the schedule for final exams will be released. A tentative schedule has been ar ranged. After a meeting of the committee in charge of this, the plans will be made public. Public Hearings On Budget Slated The University request for an $18,274,912 budget during the 1951-53 biennium will probably have first public hearing late in December. The budget calls for $14,088, 000 in state funds which is an increase of 75 percent over the current appropriation. Chancellor R. G. Gustavson has asked that the hearing be held after Dec. 11. Public hear ings on requests of various agen cies have been held for several weeks. Fraternity I Dancers College Iraaitions - ... .. . - e. ! r By Glen Rosenqulst Everybody around the table pushed back their chairs, lit matches and began to sing the tender strains of a fraternity song. And then when Leo Geier gave his Phi Gam pin to English bal lerina Valeri Taylor, interna tional relations were strength ened. At least two nations, a country in Europe called Eng land and a nation called Amer ica became closer friends. . The pinning was witnessed by a number of Phi Gams. They were the ones who lit the matches. But the real witnesses to the pinning were four English girls, Sheila, Gretta, April and Jane, who sat spellbound as they watched their fellow ballerina's moment of glory. For they had never seen an American frater nity pinning before. The five girls were cast mem bers of the famed Sadler's Wells ballet. On Nov. 20 they were making, another of their many performances in the United States, performances which had carried them all the way from Foreign Students Guests at 'Dinner The Third annual International Friendship dinner, sponsored by the Religious Welfare council along with NUCWA and Cosmo politan club, will be held Thurs day, Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the Union ballroom.

Routine Day When they stepped off the Sadler's Wells train, Lincoln, Neb., was just another Ameri can city to them. Their after noon rehearsals at the Coliseum were routine and then suddenly everything was changed. First off, one of the Fiji brothers invited the girls to din ner at "the house." After din ner they were invited to come back to the house after the show. At the house they were in troduced around and enter tained. Phi Gam housemother Mrs. Mae Minier showed them the fraternity house. Soon the girls were talking about their native England. And it wasn't- long before both the fraternity brothers and the English ballet stars learned someining, mai peopie num other countries are not really ; "foreigners" but ordinary people like themselves. Out for Coffee The pinning took place at a downtown hotel where the group went out for coffee before the SttJ t0 leave for When the train left, it was not the end of the Sadler's Wells Phi Gam relationship.
