'Madame Fashion' Has Led Full Life
Home Ec Class Presents Clothing History
By Minette Taylor
It was. a different fashion
show a fashion show even
men would like.
The show, held in the Ag
Activities Building last Sun
day, depicted the history of
fashion.
Why would men like it?
Here, are some of the com
ments of "Madame Fash
ion," narrator of the show
telling part of the history of
costume:
After a comparison of
modern and Egyptian cos-,
t u m e s, she ends with:
"Her shoes would create in
terest, however, for the
Egyptian ladies wore san
dals or no shoes at all.
"During my life I have
created spectacular changes
in the appearance of my
followers, sometimes going
from one extreme to the
other. I have constantly re
peated old ideas, and who
knows? Next year, in 1959,
I maty go back to the time
of my Egyptian youth and
kick off my shoes."
Hoop Skirt
Of the hoop skirt: "Twenty-five
years of carrying
varas ana yards of fabric
arouna, 25 years of having
to sit a certain way so that'
the hoop doesn't fly up and
. make you look like an awk
ward umbrella."
Of clothes of 'the 1890's:
"My clothes during the '90's
have been called the most
unhygienic of any age, and
that is saying a lot for my
18th century corsets were
sheer torture and during
the Directoire period the
sheer white gowns which
were worn regardless of the
season were instrumental in
brinj-ing on an epidemic of
tMierculosis. . ."

number of hours passed.
Students Swarmed
The change was made, he
said, in order to avoid jam
ming up of students at
classes.
"A swarm of engineering
students hit first," Dr. Hoov
er said, describing the now
discarded system. "The next
hour, bus ad seniors jammed
up in files."
The next day or so of reg
istration was comparitively
smooth, until the freshmen
were allowed , to register.
"The freshmen hit English
and they jammed at that
spot," the registrar said.
Automatic Distribution
By using an alphabetical
basis for registration, Dr.
Hoover said he hoped to
achieve an automatic distri
bution of students. The suc
cess of the new system is
born out by other universi
ties, he said.
"We'd like to set it up sV

Kellogg Student
Hardin Accepts Gift
At Kick-Off Luncheon
Chancellor Spikes Rumor That
Collection Goal Reached
Don Herman, president of
University Builders, present
ed Chancellor Clifford Hard
in with a pledge for $1,000
Monday to open the student
drive to. raise funds for the
Kellogg Center.
Herman made the presen
tation for Builders at a kick
off luncheon held in the Stu
dent Union and attended by
leaders of student houses and
organizations.
$500 Now
Builders will pay $500 of
the pledge immediately, with
the balance being paid in
four yearly installments.
Chancellor Hardin accept
ed the gift with gratitude,
and described a number of
Morrill Hall
Shows Two
Art Exhibits
Two art exhibits are now on
display in the art gallery on
second floor of Morrill Hall.
One is "Christmas Print
Festival," an exhibit of prints
and drawings by contempor
ary European and American
artists. All works on display
are for sale at prices rang
ing from $7.50 to $100.-
The festival is sponsored by
the Nebraska Art Assocation's
Sales-Rental Gallery and will
close Dec. 20.
The second exhibit, "Tex
tile Arts of India," is com
prised of textiles and small
decorative objects collected
by Mrs. Elizabeth Willis of
Winslow, Wash.
Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. daily, except 8 a.m. to
10 p.m. .Tuesday and Thurs
day and 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
KK Meeting
There will be a Kosmet
Klub meeting in the Union
at 8:15 p.m. today. Work
ers' hours will be totaled.
this posture was considered
quite elegant . . ." Models

very un-model-liks posture,

But women had a chance
to laugh, too. Comments on
the black shalavars (pants)
of a Turkish peasant man
were: "You think the shal

is for a reason. The Turks

(Continued on Page 4)
the benefits that he felt the
University of Nebraska will
receive from the Kellogg
Center for Continuing Adult
Education if the $1.1 million
fund drive by the Universty
Foundation is successful.
The chancellor spiked
rumors that the needed mon
ey had already been raised
but not announced by the
foundation. He said that only
about f.00,000 had been re
ceived thus far, leaving near
ly $400,000 more to be raised
before the Dec. 31 deadline.
Hardin especially empha
sized the planned youth wing
for the center as a feature
which will be unique to the
University. Neither the Kel
logg centers at Michigan
State nor Georgia University
have such a division, he said.
Short Courses
The chancellor said the
youth division could offer
short courses in the fall, win
ter and spring for young men
and women who do not plan
to take college training.
Where this has been done on
a limited scale elsewhere
with ag short courses it has
proved highly . successful,
Hardin stressed.
"This type of training is
perhaps our most unmet need
in the country," the chancel
lor added.
Hardin also pointed out
that the center will be self'
supporting, and that its con
struction here could "make
the University the hub for
adult educational activities in
the Great Plains area."
He said that the center at
Michigan is already booked
for every day through 1960
and is beginning to take
some reservations for 1961.
Opening in 1961
"If our drive is successful,"!
the chancellor said, "we hope
to be able to open the doors
of the center here in Janu
ary, 1961."
Herman, commenting on
how Builders would spear
head the student drive on
campus, said that each house
and organization would be
contacted by Builders repre
sentatives this week or next.
He expressed hope that lead
ers at the luncheon would
"talk up the drive."
Perry Branch, director-secretary
of the University of
Nebraska Foundation, spoke
briefly on the way in which
the fund drive has been con
ducted and how pledges could
be made for the center.
Four Year Period
He said that a pledge could
be paid within a four-year
period and that it would serve
to meet the $1.1 million obli
gation the University faces if
it is to receive the $1.8 mil
Ion grant from Kellogg.
Senator Hazel Abel of Lin
coln said she had served on
numerous building commit
tees since her graduation
from the University more
than 50 years ago, and that
this was one of the very few
times when students have
ever been asked to play an
active role in building a big
ger university.
Mrs. Abel, who is chair
man of the woman's division
of the state-wide Kellogg Cen
ter drive, said that normally
it took 20 years or more to
obtain a new building for the
university, including plan
ning, approval, construction
and dedication. But here, she
said, with the help of Nebras
ka adults and students, the
University could obtain one in
a very brief period.
YWCA Filings

YWCA filings for executive
board positions are open to
day. Students wishing to apply
must file their names at Rosa
Bouton Hall. Interviews will
begin Thursday at 3 p.m.
Positions available include
district representative, stu
dent council representative,

dent. A slate for officers will be
chosen at this time, and elec
tions will be held later.
Hoover Gets Test
Registrar Has
With Council
Dr. Floyd Hoover, chair
man of the Calendar Commit
tee, has "no quarrel" with
the proposed Student Council
examination schedule change.
"I have no quarrel with the
Student Council proposal,"
he said. "It would not upset
the exam scheduling in any
way, simply set it back one
day."

Fund
'No QuarreV
Change Idea
The next step will be to
have the motion presented to
the Faculty Senate through
the calendar committee, Gary
Frenzel, Student Council vice
president said.
"We will ask Dean Colbert
to present the motion," Fren
zel said. "If it passes the Sen
ate, it will go into effect for
the 1960-61 school year."
The Student Council plans
to request students to talk to
their instructors about the
proposed change.
"Since the final exam per
iod was changed Just two
years ago, the faculty mem
bers will have to be convinced
in their own minds that stu
dents would utilize an er'ra
day of study before they
would be willing to pass an
other exam change," Fren
zel commented.
Convocation
Concerns Ag
Possibilities
Opportunities for college of
agriculture graduates are
very good and should continue
to be good m the future.
This opinion was expressed
by Dr. Louis Thompson, as
sociate Dean of Agriculture
at Iowa State College, who
will speak at an All-College
of Agriculture Convocation
December 10. He will discuss
"Ag Students Is Your future
in Agriculture?"
Opportunities are found in
farming, science and agricul
tural business, according to
Dr. Thompson. He is expected
to present a future outlook
for agriculture in relation to
the expanding population in
the United States.
"During the past 10 years
we have built a surplus of
about 60 million tons of feed
grains where we have an an
nual production of about 130
million tons," Dr. Thompson
said.
He notes that feed sur
pluses are temporary, how
ever, if our population con
tinues to grow as rapidly as
it is now growing.

Proposal
Council Sends
Letter Asking
Reading Day
Student Council has lent
the following letter to Dr.
Floyd Hoover, chairman of
the Ca-ndar Committee and
Registrar according to
Gary Frenzel, Council vie
president.
The resolution was passed
in the Council's regular
meeting with only one dis
senting vote.
"In its last regular meet
ing, the Student Council
passed the following resolu
tion with only one dissent
ing vote:
To request that the fa
ulty Senate Calendar Com
mittee consider altering the
present final exam sched
ule by using one of the three
days at the end of the eight
day exams as a reading
day before the start of
exams. Thus final examin
ations would begin on Tues
day rather than en Mon
day. The Student Council feels
very strongly that students
desire and need more time
to study for final exams
than the present sys
tem permits. We feel that
the good student will take
advantage of an extra day
of study to better prepare
for his examinations.
In addition, under the
present schedule, many un
fortunate students find
themselves with three or
four tests during the first
two days of finals.. While no
exam schedule can be com
pletely equitable, an extra
day of study would be much
fairer to these students.
The Council debated
the desirability of asking
for a change in the present
exam schedule for three
weeks before passing this
resolution. We considered
five possible schedules, and
each Council member dis
cussed all of these with
other students and at least
two of their instructors be
fore we passed the above
recommendation. The five
exam schedules considered
were as follows:
1. Continuing the present
eight-day system with three
hour exams.
2. As in our resolution, aa
eight-day system with
three-hour exams and an
extra reading day before
tests begin.
3. A six-day or cm week
systems with two-hour ex
ams. 4. An eight-day system
with two-hour exams.
5. Going back to the old
two-week system wit
three-hour exams.
Most of the interviewed
faculty members were
willing to compromise wits
the Council's request for
more study time by accept
ing the extra day of study
as a potential final exam
schedule change although
the professors did feel that
the present system was sat
isfactory. The Student Council does
believe that students need
more time to prepare for
final exams; we also be
lieve that most students
would utilize a reading day
before finals for study.
Many faculty members aft
er hearing the student's
viewpoint were willing to
accept this proposal. Con
sequently, the Council is
presenting this resolution to
your committee in the sin
cere hope that it will be
seriously considered and
presented to the. Facid
ty Senate for a decision,
i The Student Council
would be willing to assist
your committee in any way"
to collect information or to
help assay faculty and stu
dent opinion on the propos
al." . Gary Frenzel
