Move Over, Playboy
'EVE' Offers Feminine Spice
By Diana Maxwell
Copy Editor
Only a very impudent wom
an's magazine would ridicule
outright the pointed toe shoes
and would quip about the
startling resemblance be
tween the sack dress and ma
ternity wear.
Only a spirited magazine
would even consider it.
Probably it would take a
new magazine, since publica
tions, like people, tend to be
come conservative in their
old age. It would take a mag
azine that was searching for
a bit of fun and was eager
to assert its voice.
That's EVE.
It hasn't hit the news
stands yet. We received an
advance copy in the mail only
last week. And. after what I
suspect was a thorough read
ing by our hierarchy of male
editors, it fell to me to pre
sent the "woman's view" of
this ambitious little maga
zine. The first impression of
EYE is that here is the fem
inine reply to "Playboy." In
fact, that is likely to be the
second and third impression.
The cartoons can only be
called spicy, and the humor
is much like that found be
tween the covers of "Es
quire." The men to whom I
showed the copy refused to
return it until they had read
every cartoon within the cov
ers. Within these covers, how
ever, is much more than a
few clever cartoons. The fic
tion, too, takes some adjust
ing to. Of all the things it
is not, typical woman's mag
azine fare heads the list.
The fact is that I haven't
really quite decided whether
to be shocked by the whole
magazine, or to enjoy it.
In fairness, it should be
mentioned that some of the
articles are quite weighty.
The lead article is a lengthy
and thought-provoking anal
ysis of the positions occupied
bv both men and women and ;
the roles that each should be
willing to assume.
In this first issue, s-e-x was
treated in almost every con
ceivable manner seriously,
wittily, mockingly and tender
ly. Most important, though,
this was well-written fiction.
It was genuinely good. The
writing was the kind our man
aging editor shouts so loudly
for us to produce bright !
One bit of fiction was so
subtle (or else I was so
dense) that I didn't realize I
was reading humor rather
than a serious article until
well into the second column.
So much for the weaknesses
of reviewers.
Sprinkled throughout the is
sue is poetry that matches
the quality of the fiction. It
more than equals that in the
popular magazines (the ranks
of which EVE hopes to join
it anticipates ranking in 50
cents an issue for a book not
much thicker than a Super
man comic.)
Even though reviewers are
supposed to be terribly criti
cal, I have to say one more
enthusiastic thing the for
mat of EVE is tremendous.
Layout, typography and illus
trations reflect the arty tone
of the magazine.
EVE is. however, so mili
tantly feministic, that I
couldn't help but wish it
would tone down its cries. A
little of that sort of thing is
refreshing, but a steady diet
would be as bad as the
cream-of-wheat menu in the
typical woman's magazine.
To explain EVE. her edi
tors comment, "EVE is every
woman with a balance and
humor who gets fun out of
life. . . and EVE is her mag
azine. It will reflect what she
is doing, thinking and feeling.
It welcomes her ideas and
opinions. And it will never,
never talk down to her."
That sounds like a pretty
good deal if it is lived up to.

Chivalry is dead!
And from the looks of
things around the University
it's just about buried.
At least that's what 64 per
cent of the Nebraska students
say.

"Do you think chivalry is !
dead or dying?" one young;
woman stated that it was def- j

"how manv Sir Walter!
Raleighs would throw their
capes over mud puddles to

A young man then retorted I
that "as women are more or
less equal to men now, why;
should men lower themselves i
to do favors for women?"
Taking the opposite stand,
one fair lass reported opti
mistically that "chivalry
may be dying, but not at Ne
braska." j
And one reluctant Galihadi
told us sadlv that "as long i
as there are more males than
females in a locality, compe
tition will force the long-suffering
man to be chivalrous
just to survive."
Moreover, most of the men
blamed the women for this
decline, stating that "women

men in occupations, clothes,
hflir styles, etc., so why
should the man continue to
protect her in a chivalrous

Women, however, feel that i
it is the fault of both sexes j
in that "women don't care to
wait for hours for a man to
open a door for her so they
do take the initiative that is j
forced upon them." and
"women realize that to ex-j

No Objections
Surprisingly, though, only
13 per cent of the students
both male and female ob
jected to women's competi
tion and equality in occupa

"competition has never hurt
anyone" and "since women
demand equal rights, they
might as well share in all
occupations."
The women maintained
that "women are as good as,
if not better than, men and
have the right to compete
equally for jobs," and "if a
woman has the intelligence
and capacity to fulfill a cer
tain occupation, she should
be allowed to do so irrcgard
less of her sex."
