Jfc. "V lx By STAFF WRITER "All I've got to say is that I'm going to get out of the way." This was the comment of one University woman Tuesday night as she prepared for the annual onslaught of indignant males at Coed Follies. It was a good thing that she did too because shortly after ward an estimated 500 "rowdy pranksters" stormed into the theater and scattered throughout the building. Lincoln and campus police then began the all-night job of flushing them out. The male invasion, which one city policeman called "high school stuff," brought fights, costumes, songs and laughs with it.- Several male students dressed in bizarre outfits in order to gain admittance. They used wigs, bobby sox, .skirts, sweaters' and cos metics to get some definitely realistic results. But this was not the only way that men tried to crash the gates. About 7:30 p.m. a gang of males paraded through the streets to the theater, where they shoved their way past policemen, ushers and coeds. After the Initial breakthrough, one policeman dusted himself off and said "I . wish I had my watch and badge back." "They came in one door and I pushed them out another," he added, "I must have pushed the same fellows out at least four times." Then with a shrug of his shoulders, he explained there were "just too many of them." The first break-in, the largest single "attack," came before the ' Follies started and the program did not commence until most of the obvious males were evicted.

One male who had spent half the performance under a seat, walked out suddenly muttering that it was just "too hot up here." After one breakthrough, the captured men were marched through the lobby to the door. A cautious woman tried to check the powder room to see if anyone was hiding there. When she tried to open the door, she discovered someone holding it closed from the other side. Quickly she called a policeman. With an official motion the representative of the law shoved the door open to find two coeds. The officer backed away with a red face. There were reports that some men did use the powder room at one time as a hideout. Rumors also told of certain male attempts to hide in dressing room lockers. One group of three took to the dusty catwalk above the back stage activities. Everything would have been all right for the trio, which had been on the lofty perch since 5 p.m., if one of them had not laughed. But there was little to laugh about when the fights started and both students and policemen got hurt. One policeman complained of a hole in his ear wnicn ne tmnKs was Diuen out. Anomer naa long scrape on his shin. Despite all the excitement, the general opinion of the police was that the men had a good time. Any preventive measures, they said, would have to be taken up through the University. How did the police feel to be lucky males legally allowed to see the show that caused all the trouble? "Oh," one said, "it's our duty." WHICH WAY OUT? . . . While a member of the police force and several coeds watch, one fellow attempts to avoid the strong arm of the law.

College Girl "Where Is he?" selecting works and arranging them so that the show will appeal to the wjdest variety of tastes in art, Laging explained. Resemblance of painting to ob jects in nature will be shown by means of photographs of real things, ranging from galaxies to cell structures. ! Similarities in subject-matterj will be brought out by exhibiting works of popular traditionalists side by side with those of adherents , nf varinns moriprn erhnnl Vnr In-! stance, several religious pictures may show extreme differences in treatment of the same general subject. Laging has expressed hopes that this arrangement of the show will stimulate an apprecia tion of art in many people who heretofore have haul little un derstanding of the close relation between art and reality. Many well-known masterpieces and prize-winning works of art have been borrowed for the show from museums, dealers and pri vate collectors in the East. Of the 150 pieces in the show, the greater number are oil paintings, but there are numerious prints, watercolors, ceramics and pieces of sculpture. The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday through March 31. Laging suggests that groups, sucn as fraternities and sororities, call his office to arrange for special tours of the show.
