University's 'Order Of The Golden Fleece' Enisled For Twenty Shades 01 Redheads By KATHY RADAKER Feature Editor Attention all redheads!! The Order of the Golden Fleece, a club for redheads only, existed oa the University campus from the early part of the cen tury through the 1920's. Eligible for membership in the club were those passed by the registration committee as having tresses with in the more than 20 officially-accepted colors. The hues Included squish, carrot, pumpkin, orange, brick, scarlet, flaming, maroon, cop per, auburn, hena, mahogany, sorrel, cerise, salmon, shrimp pink and pink. Barred from membership along with those possessing "Inspired brown" hair were those with lemon, gin ger or putty shades. "Bottle lobs" were strictly out, according to an early article found in ancient NU annals, but the ar- tmciai reaneaas were responsible United Air Unes has announced for the decline of the organization th t expanded service is creating "u """w","Vhimrtrids nf iob nDoortunities for having tresses nearest lemon and brown shades. Judges reportedly were thoughtfully provided with smoked glasses before undertak ing their dazzling task! Bobby pins were banned at the contest luncheon and at ap plication time when it was dis covered that certain aspirants had pinned on red wigs. Among them was Chancellor Avery's wife who tried to join the select order in this manner. Dr. Louise Pound, professor emeritus and nationally promi nent literary figure, was one of the staunchest members, often serving as mistress of ceremonies for the group. One of her tributes to the Order of the Golden Fleece runs like this: At midnight when I got to bed I proudly bow my ruby head And thank whatever gods there be They didn't make a blonde of me! At meetings of the organiza tion, a typical program included readings, music and talks extoll ing the color red or relating : facts about famous redheads. Records reveal talks showing that four-fifths of the heroines ' of popular firtioaf In the 1920's 1 were redheads as were such heroes as Washington, Lafayette and Milton. And speaking of records, one needn't expect to find any ac counts of the Order of the Gold en Fleece in the Cornhusker. For those Nebraska redheads didn't take themselves seriously enough to lay out $25 for a spot in the yearbook! Comedy, 'All's Fair' To Be Presented !
