Sivirl of Color Predominates
At Formal Season Opening
by Ann Gilligan
The Military Ball and the Mor
tar Board Ball the first of many
nights this social season. Nights
of whirling color and delicate
pastels blended with the dark
sophistication of tuxedos. Nights
when glamour reached a new
heigth and promised to continue
climbing in remarkable, dreamy
ball gowns.
For instance, one of the sea
son's prettiest dresses is a subdued-red
net strapless creation.
Yards of net gather into a dra
matic full skirt and the bodice
is scattered with sequins. A two
toned satin sash adds to the
beauty of the dress.
Blue Overnet
A "lush" looking pink net full
length dress with an overlayer
of blue net brings out a brunette's
beauty. The strapless bodice,
above an extra-full skirt, is deli
cately shaded by numerous tucks
and gathew of the blue net over
layer. Most of this season's formals
seem to be net, for another out
standing gown is gray net
strapless, with various lengths of
diamond-shaped tiers adorning
the back of the street-length
bouffant skirt. The costume is

Wilborn Whitehead and Donald
Winklemann.
Always Room At Top
The banquet speaker, Rurnham
Yates, Lincoln banker, reminded
the 300 professors and fledging
businessmen that "There is al
ways room at the top."
"Personal financial "planning,"
he said, "is one of the first steps
a young businessman should
take."
"The expansion of industry Is
limited only by the scarcity and
costliness of brains," Yates said.
Nebraska Jobs
In his presentation speech,
Gold urged the students to seek
jobs in Nebraska industries.
"The other pasture ulways
looks greener and I want to tell
you what's here," he said in cit
ing examples of Nebraska's rapid
industrial growth.
Six seniors, all of whom rank
in the top 10 percent of the class,
were elected to membership in
Beta Gamma Sigma, national
honorary business administration
fraternity.
They are: Ralph Barr. Nancy

Italian Movie
5SrIn"
j
The University YMCA is spon-
soring an Italian film to
shown at Love Library auditor
ium, today and Saturday, Dec. 8
and 9, at 8 p. m.
The film, "Revenge," is the
latest Italian film to be presented
in this country. Other Italian
movies which have been shown
in Lincoln include: "Open City,"
"Shoe-Shine," "To Live in
Peace" and "Paisan."
Anna Magani, star of "Open
City," plays the leading role in
this production of post-war
Italy.
The story concerns a returned
Italian prisoner of war who is
shocked to find the village from
which he came a shambles, his
family scattered and his neigh
bors too stunned by the war to
begin rebuilding their lives.
Sergio, the ex-prisoner, suc
ceeds in reuniting the family and
rebuilding the powerhouse, thus
restoring light, both electric and
spiritual, to his demoralized com
munity. When "Revenge" first appeared
on the,, screen in Rome in 1946,
it was 102 minutes long. After
editing and decking it with Eng
lish subtitles for American audi
ences, it now runs 90 minutes.
"Revenge" was released in
Italy as "Un Uomo Ritorno" (A
I Man Comes Back).
completed with a matching gray
stole and gray satin shoes.
A tall, sophisticated blonde
wears a simple but smart dark
blue strapless dress with straight,
princess-style lines. Another
campus coed has matched her
elbow-length red gloves with a
red, sequin-patterned, strapless
formal.
All-White
Many coeds are going "all
white" this season. The white
satin top of one petite girl's for
mal, above a full net skirt, has a
draped halter neckline leaving
the back bare. She braves the
crisp night air by adding a white
fur jacket to complete her en
semble. Another girl wears a strapless
net dress beneath a sequin-studded
net bolero. And still another
enjoys dances and dates in a bil
lowing combination of satin, lace,
and net. White lace, with a met
allic thread, covers a strapless
white satin bodice and the white
satin skirt is complimented by a
white net overskirt.
Off-the-shoulder dresses are
still in fashion. One brunette fa
vors an off-the-shoulder green
net gown with added touches of
matching green satin. A slightly
built blonde wears an off-the-shoulder
velvet dress in a be
coming turquoise shade. A good
looking satin formal, in an aqua
tone, with a tiered back and
matching elbow-length gloves,
also is off-the-shoulders.
One Shoulder Strap
Another popular type of for
mal is strapless except for one
wide shoulder-strap. Dark col
ored flowers decorate opposite
sides of the bodice and skirt on
some of these dresses, which
have two-toned skirts to give an
"illusion" effect. One tall blonde
wears an unusual and becoming
white taffeta formal of this type,
with a narrow, green stripe.
Rhinestones are popular this
season on shoes, purses, and for
mals. Also well-liked by the co
eds are the velvet shortie formal
jackets.
Campus coeds are wearing ev
ery color of the rainbow, in sat
ins, laces, taffetas and velvets,
to add their bit to the gaiety and
whirl of the 1950-51 formal sea
son. Holiday Packages
Will Flood Mails
A record breaking volume of
Christmas mail of more than six
billion pieces this year is expected
by the Post Oltice Department.
The department urges early'
mailing of cards and gifts to facil
itate this increase. The increased
demands of the armed forces and
civilian requirements are also re
sponsible for the call for early
mailing.
According to the post office,
this will be the third straight
year of establishing new records
in the amount of Christmas mail.
Last year Christmas mail in
creased to 5,(11 6,000,000 pieces
and will Increase an estimated
400,000,000 additional pieces
above that figure this year.
The railroads transport about
fi per cent of mail of all kinds.
Movement of the mail requires
almost 17,000 postal transporta
tion clerks who travel a total of
697,873,000 miles each year.

Korean Crisis
Leads Crib
Conversations
It looks like the women on the
campus are in for a disappoint
ment. Out of twenty bits of con
versation overheard in the Crib
by this reporter Thursday after
noon, only one, "Boy! there's one
babe I'd really like to have a
date with," was about the weak
er sex.
The Korean situation and the
draft seemed to weigh pretty
heavy in the minds of the men.
Such comments as, "See you in
Korea." "How old are you?",
nnd "One good thing about Ko
rea is that it's a small country,
they can't get all the Chinese
soldiers into it at once," domi
nated the conversation so much
as to make everything else of
I minor importance.
A surprise second was the
topic of studies. It seems that
more people worry about them
in public than was previously
expected. "I wrote the most
beautiful expose of chapter six
and he didn't like it." That
(censored) English teacher

attitude towards instructors after

government increased 94.5 per
cent between 1940 and 1949, the
per person average income
jumped 240 per cent during the
same period.
That is one of the observations
contained in a study of Nebras
ka's state taxes and expenditures
publishedt by ' The Council of
State Governments, "Chicago.
The trend in Nebraska during
the first eight years of the 1940's
has been generally the same as
that in eight neighboring states
but Nebraska's state taxpayers
have had it a little easier for two
reasons-
Income Increase
First, their average income in
creased considerably more 240
per cent as compared with 196
than the average in this nine
state region. Only one state,
South Dakota, shows a greater
per person income gain. 319 per
cent.
Second, the share of income
that Nebraskans pay for state
taxes has dropped a little farther
NU Regent Pleas
For Appropriation
Robert DeVoe, president of the
Board of Regents, made a plea
for a larger appropriation for
the University, at the banquet
of the Nebraska State associa
tion of soil conservation dis
tricts. He stated, "It may be that we
in Nebraska have reached the
point where a sales tax or in
come tax may be necessary."
He added, "Unless we get a
greater appropriation for the
University than we have had the
last biennium, we will have to
close down some of the colleges
of this institution."
He also pointed out that prop
erty taxation may have about
reached its limit and that "all
the states bordering Nebraska
have sales or income taxes."
DeVoe declared that he was
not advocating sales or income
taxes, but said it may be neces
sary so that Nebraska can main
tain its self respect.

Tax Policies
In summarizing Nebraska's
state tax and expenditure poli
cies as compared with those of
neighboring states, thf study
lists six points:
1. Nebraska's state tax load as
measured by per capita data is
j less than that oi its neignoonng
states.
2. When the tax load is re
lated to income payments in
these states, Nebraska's state tax
burden is lighter than that of
any of the neighboring states.
3. While its neighboring states
have exploited the general sales
and income taxes, Nebraska's
major sources of state revenue
are derived from taxes on motor
fuel and licenses and the gen
eral property tax.
Property Tax Decline
4. The importance of the
property tax as a state revenue
source has declined in recent
years in the nearby states. In
Nebraska, in the absence of sales
and incc i e tax, the yield from
this sour i r has increased 141 per
cent during the last decade.
5. Per capita state expendi
tures in Nebraska are, in total,
lower than in any of the neigh
boring states except one, Mis
souri. 6. The chief difference in
state expenditure policy is to be
found in the smaller amount per
capita spent for education in
Nebraska, and this is largely ac
counted for by the absence of
substantial aid to local schools.
