regular meeting in May.
Representatives to the Ag
Exec board under the new

one girl, who automatically be
come members of the board.

Cotton Fabric Comes Into Spotlight
For Almost Every Occasion At NU
mmmmmm Dolly McQuistan
The biggest fashion highlight
on campus at the present time is
cotton wear. For almost every oc
casion of college life in the spring
a cotton fabric piece of clothing
is appropriate. Let's see how
cottons fit in the schedule of a
coed.
To start off the academic
week, I saw a majority of the
girls wearing cotton blouses
and skirts, golfers and coordi
nates to their classes today. Also
I'm sure that many of you saw
a line behind the ironing board
to do that last minute press job.
Many girls are most happy
about the change of weathei4 be

clothing. But many remarks are
heard that

beaded nude lace top. Sounds
rather appealing, eh?
For church on Sunday Morn

suit but it can either be acetate
and rayon chambray, or a silk
and acetate tweed. Anyway, it
is as cool as cotton.
For every Sunday afternoon

Sound-Off
Striving For Innocents, Mortar Board
May Sway Thinking 7Way Out Of Line
Tom Rsche
One of the most important days
of the year is coming up for some
University students Ivy Day.
On that day Innocents and
Mortar Boards will be chosen.
For some students, the success
or failure of their University,
careers will be determined by
the outcome of the selections of
that day.
Some students who have en
tered every activity they could
Mortar Boards and Innocents
are fine groups. They are, how
ever, not worth all the tears and
effort consciously expended.
Their importance to the indivi-
possibly get
into will find
their efforts re
warded. Others
will not be so
lucky.
As each per
son is selected,
there will , be
wild outbursts
from the house
they represent.
A few, without
organized back
ing, will get a
round of polite applause.
Many of the selections will be
well-deserved; some will not be.
To this writer, the selection should
be made on the basis of unselfish
service to the school, not selfish
seeking of a high honor.
Those who. have occasionally
sought to become an Innocent or
Mortar Board since someone sug
guested that they might make the
honoraries, are not really deserv
ing. To seek honor for honor's
sake Is rather petty.
There are individuals who try
to take on as many activities as
possible not for what they can
do for the activities, but for the
activity points they can get for
themselves. There are those who
enter activities they hate, just to
get points.
There are those who let their
studies and everything else go,
just to become an Innocent or
Mortar Board. ,

Innocents and Mortar Boards, or
the pursuit of them, gives many

There is something awesome and
