Skirting Other Campuses
freight-Hopping Starts
evi fad in California
Iowa State and Iowa may
change their traditional mas
cots to a "beautiful coed led
around in chains." According
to a noted columnist for the
Des Moines Register both
mascots at present are "bird
shaped with hawk noses" and
neither are "very pretty."
The Hiking Club at the Uni
versity of California has found
a new way to have fun off
campus: freight-hopping. It
provides the participant with
a means of seeing the country
free and first hand.
The methodology is very
simple. Just decide where you
want to go, go down to the
freight yards and find out
what train is going there, and
hop.
Students have gone in this
manner to Los Angeles, Salt
Lake City and all over the
West.
Panhellenic Council at Iowa
State University has approved
a no hours proposal for senior
women and women 21 or old
er. Under the plan the women
would be given keys after 1
p.m. on the day they wanted
to use them and would have
to return the mbefore noon the
next day. The method of
checking out keys would be
left to the desecretion of the
chapter.
The proposal remains to be
considered by the Women's
Residence Association Board.
Construction of a skating
rink and multiple game area
is underway at Kansas State.
The finished recreation area
is to include four basketball
goals, a double tennis court
and space for a volleyball
court, softball diamond and
skating rink.
Administrative officials em

where students can work out,
exercise and have competitive
So who cares? About any
thing. "Not many," replied cam
pus leaders at the University
of Minnesota, when asked
about student apathy at t h e
University.
Reasons given for apathy in
cluded the feeling of comfort
ableness in "intolerable situ
ations" exist and students
tend to be las in awareness
and interest. Other possible
causes are "unawareness"
Beauty Incidental
In Leg's Design
Whatever their shaDe. vour
legs are among the best-designed
structures in nature.
The hollowness of the leg
bones helps you stand and
walk upright because a hol
low column is stronger than
a solid one of equal weight.
The lightweight tubular con
struction of your leg bones
composed of wiry fibers em
bedded in solid calcium salts
is similar to reinforced con
crete in structure but is
eight times as sturdy!
Leg bones must absorb not
only downward pressures of
your shifting body weight,
but also the countershock
from the ground below. Dur
ing hard jolts or jumps, the
shinbone sometimes has to
withstand momentary forces
of as much as two tons.
Running, b i k e-riding or
hurdle-jumping causes the leg
bones to slide, swing and piv
ot in bewildering variation of
patterns. The strings that
bring this puppet show to life
are the wonderful elastic mus
cles spanning the bones.
The muscles in your legs
Young Demos Sell
Kennedy Medals
Bob Cherny, Young Demo
crat chairman, has announced
that the YD's have a number
of Kennedy Credo Medals on
hand for those students inter
ested In buying one.
Cherny noted that the med
als have attracted nation
wide attention. They have
been featured in articles in
the Numismatic News, a coin
collectors magazine, and in
Business and Industry maga
line. He also pointed out that the
YD'i have recieved requests
from as far away as Massa
chusetts . and California for
information concerning the
medals.
The medals, for which the
Nebraska YD's have the na
tional franchise, are 332-inch
thick and li-inchcs in dia
meter. Its raised image of
President John Kennedy is
132-inch high, or about three
or four times higher than im
ages on United States coins.
The coins are availible in
silver, bronze, or anodized
aluminum. Many are availi
ble with key-chain attach
ment or set as women's
jewelry.
They may be purchased in
the YD office, room 346 Stu
dent Union on any afternoon.
Report Shows Gain
In Business Strength
Nebraska retail sales gained
strength in October, up 4.5 per
cent from September and 4.7
per cent from the same month
a year ago, according to Busi
ness in Nebraska published by
the University Bureau of Busi
ness Research.
A slight increase of 1.6 per
cent was recorded in general
business activity compared to
October a year ago, based on
reports from 21 municipali
ties. General business activ
ity Includes bank debits, build
ing activity, retail sales, elec
tricity and gas consumed,
water pumped, postal receipts
and newspaper advertising.
are extremely strong. Those
you use to stand on tiptoe, for
instance, are capable of ex
erting 400 pounds of force!
So you can see why it's easier
to pull your own leg than
someone else's; the resulting
Charley horse you may get is
caused by a temporary lack of
oxygen in the leg muscles.
Muscles animate bones by
pulling, never by thrusting or
twisting. Most of them work
with mates; one contracts to
pull while the other stretches.
This teamwork enables your
muscles to move you about
without sudden jerks. This is
what permits a fine ballet
dancer to soar across the
stage in a single vaulting step
whose smoothness no machine
can match and whose coordi
nation and organization no
flow chart can measure.
Beauty as well as strength
and grace is an obvious fea
ture of feminine legs; now
American legs are looking
better than ever in new sheer
hosiery.
But it takes more than the
right stockings to keep legs
attractive. Doctors, athletic
instructors and beauty ex
perts know that legs are one
of the most neglected parts
of our bodies.
Legs flabby from long hours
planted behind an office desk
are suddenly expected to per
form marvelous feats on ten
nis courts. Legs worn out or
muscle-bound from standing
behind a counter or making
business rounds are expected
to transport us lightly over
dance floors.
But athletes and dancers
whose very careers depend
upon the shape and fitness of
their legs know that ignored
limbs usually revenge them
selves by becoming nervous,
wobbly, stiff, starved, flabby
or bulbous.
So a word to the wise: if
So a word to the wise; if
you aren't able to do afew
minutes of regular leg ex
ercises every few days, or get
out on a bicycle during the
week, make an effort to take
brisk walks as often as you
(an. Get off the elevator
three or four floors before
your stop, and walk up or
down those few flights of
stairs. You'll be giving your
self a "leg up" to new vigor
and trimness!
and busyness."
A lack of student interest is
felt in every area and only
two percent of the population
participate in campus political
clubs.
German fraternities test the
fencing ability of their propec
tive members in determining
their membership eligibility
rather than their "Jock" pos
sibilities. All members must fence to
prove they are worthy of
membership and are not al
ways judged on whether they
win or lose but on how well
they fight, according to a Ger
man grad student at Minne
sota. '
The Daily Iowan at Iowa
State is sponsoring a contest
for the Queen of the Queens,
"Miss Wayzgoose."
The contest was initiated in
an effort to prevent the "hog
ging" of queen titles, when it
was discovered than one thiru
of the coeds manage to get
through the University pro
gram without ever having
been nominated for any sort
of queenship.
Finalists will be questoned
by the master of ceremonies
Pert Barks, whose questions
will determine qualities of
beauty, truth, loyalty talent,
cleanliness, qtieenliness, light,
joy. liveliness and radience.
Chairman of the affair said,
"These characteristics have
nothing to do with our queen,
but we're just curious." The
name of the queen will be
drawn from a hat in the end.
