Magazine Pix Steps Into
Al Long Brings
Eastern Flavor
To JVU Campus
By Adam Staib
Typewriters stopped and
heads swiveled in the Rag
office yesterday as Albert
(Vim) Long breezed in,
flanked by a pair of cohorts.
The fact that Al has played
end for Ohio State and is now
out for football at Nebraska
did not cause nearly as much
commotion as the clothes he
wore.
A Fashion Plate
Shore, and straight from a
fashion magazine he was, as
they sav in Erin.
Bowler Hat, Chesterfield
coat and a tie with a British
Tab knot gave dapper Al aa
aura of the East and of high
masculine fashion. His co
horts, Haskall Hart of Pitts
burgh and Jesse Richards of
New York brought with them
their eastern accents to add
further glamour to ATs en
trance. His coat, a Chesterfield,
was grey, with part of the
collar serving as a black ac
cent to the attire. A black
bowler hat, perched jauntily
n his head. Hats, be com
mented, are much more in
vogue in the east than here in
the Nebraskan midwest.
J. P. Was First
The Chesterfield first caught
his eve in a magazine. A
short 'investigation, which
turned up the evidence that
j p Morgan was the tirsi
to wear this style, and a hyper-persuasive
salesman
turned the trick.
So looking more like a bus
iness tycoon than an end on
the Husker football team, Al
settled dow to diw"
fashions. , t.

cuizzed him further.
Flaps and buckles seem to
be the only Midwestern inno
vations in the world of fash
ion, he said.
And the biggest difference
he sees between the fashions
of the east and here? Two
years. Except in the case of
the distinctly Ivy League
items, he said, midwestern
.nPpe students are usually
about iwo ye-i. ;
east and far west in adopting

Hallgren Says
Little GradeList Watering
Seen on This Campus
By Sandra Whalea
An editorial in the Iowa State Daily
discloses that "watered-down" or incom
plete Greek grade lists are a problem on
that campus, but Frank HaHgren, associ
ate dean of men, and IFC President Gary
Cadwallader say that no such problem
exists here.
It's not common on this campus," Cad
wallader said. "It would certainly be more
difficult because of the way all men are
registered at Dean HaHgren's office. He
can check on any one at any time,
lists Recorded
lists of each student enrolled in the
University are filed in the office and
each student's name is recorded on IEM
cards. These cards remain as long as the
student is enrolled in school and names
are never permitted to be removed from
scholastic lists as long as that person is an
active member of the hcuse and still in
school.
"There was a tLai afeca people could

He added that the only loophole in the
system would be through pledges.
"Our office could be informed that a
certain pledge was no longer a member
of a particular house, thereby removing
bis name from tbe grade list," he said.
Hard With Actives
Then the house might still have some
kind of undercover arrangement with the
student saying you're still one of ns.'
However this is virtually impossible with
active members."
"They're just sort of forced to be hon
est," he said.
Comments in the Iowa editorial said
that fraternities and sororities on that
campus straighten out personal card
files on all of their members twice each
quarter in tbe Registrar's office.
Pull Bad Cards
Members may simply pull the cards of
students in their organization that are not
doing well scholastically.
Active members of a fraternity sus
pended by their local chapters still 'go on
the fraternities scholastic reports as long
as they remain in school. However, if tbe
national fraternity organization suspends
them, they can be removed.
.Nominees
Advisory Board attests the
respect given her by faculty
members.
"Throughout four busy
years Nancy has been out
standing scholastically. As a
freshman she earned mem
bership in Alpha Lambda
Delta. Her election to Pi
Lambda Theta, Delta Sigma
Rho and Mortar Board show
that Nancy has maintained
her high scholastic standard.
"Nancy has represented the
University on the debate team
for four years, and she has
worked for AWS since her
freshman year, serving now
as a senior board member.
- "With all her activities and
in addition to working all four
years, Nancy is never too
busy to help anyone. Perhaps
her most outstanding quality
is her ability to find time for
any worthwhile interest.
Revival of Spirit

win or lose.
"His efforts have not been
confined only to the actual
games themselves, but in
clude hours spent in pep ral
lies (he organized the Uni
versity's first basketball rally
last year, too), send-offs and
