PENBROOK may just be the best Christmas gift he or
she has ever received. Call 488-0958 for more information.
Fashion show scheduled for Sunday
A fashion show will be presented Sunday at 3 p.m.
which shows the work of students in a UNL textiles,
clothing and design class.
Dr. Robert Hillestad, a professor of textiles, clothing
and design in the UNL College of Home Economics, said
that the fashion show, "Multi-Media Expressions in Cloth
ing," will show clothes students have designed and sewn
for normal wear and in theater productions.
The class, also called Multi-Media Expressions in Sew
ing, is a 400-lcvel class designed for seniors and graduate
students in fashion design, fashion merchandising and
others interested in sewing. The projects students work on
help them develop various sewing techniques and be
creative in their sewing, he said.
Hillestad said that students were
in their projects.
'innovative" this year
"We have one gannet that has electrical wiring in it so
that it lights up, which is for the theater," he said. "We
also have a lot of silk screened, hand-knit and hand-woven
fabric items."
The fashi n show will be in the Home Economics
Building 1 1. A reception will follow the show.
Student elected to food group
A UNL student has been named national chairman
elect of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), a
national organization of professionals and students in
food production.
Ann Hollingsworth, a graduate student in animal
science with a meat production option, was elected to the
position as the chairman of the students. Hollingsworth
received an Undergraduate degree from Auburn University
and is doing her graduate work at UNL.
Hooingsworth said the organization has 1,300 members
with both professionals and students in foods and related
subjects. She said there are six divisions of members
dividing students and professionals according to their
work or rank in school.
Stan Wallen, an assistant professior in food science
and technology at UNL, said the position is an honor for
a student to receive.
"Since it is similar to being a president," he said, "It
is a high position for a student to receive on the national
level."

When the guys at Miller asked me to
write an ad on writing, I said, "Forget it.
Not even if you held a gun to my head!' So
they held a bottle of Lite Beer to my mouth.
They're a pretty persuasive group.
THUGS TO MUGS
If you're going to write anything, know
what you're talking about. And that means
three things: Research, research, and
more research. The more you know, the
more you can tell your reader.
Take my characters. A lot of them I
base on actual people. There's this buddy
of mine who pops up in every book I write.
In one story he's a cop. In another, a pri
vate eye. Once, I made him a millionaire.
Using him not only helped make character
development a heck of a lot easier, he was
so carried away by the rich image, he
bought me a lot of free dinners (and a lot of
Lite Beer from Miller). So use the people
you know as models.
Even locations should be based on
real things. If you're writing about a bar,
know that bar. Hang out there. Watch the
bartender. The customers. Whatever
they drink, you drink. When they drink
Lite Beer, you drink Lite Beer. Re-member-research
is most fun when
you soak up as much subject matter as
you can. It can only help you paint a
better picture.
HI, DOLL
No caper is complete without dames
(or ladies in proper English). Experience
has shown me that in mystery writing, the
sexier the dames, the better. Experience
has also shown me that sexy scenes make
great punctuation marks. This is where
research has the greatest potential. Use
your own discretion in this matter. But
when you write about it, don't be too
explicit. That way, your reader gets to paint
a more vivid pictur
CAPER TO PAPER
O.K., you've got your characters, loca
tions, and dames lined up. Now comes the
good part: Putting your caper to paper.
There's no mystery to it. As long as you
write the ending first, the rest will follow.
Write short, terse, to-the-point sentences.
Be as clear as possible. And make sure
you've got the right stuff around for when
you get thristy. After all, writing is pretty
thirsty work.
I suggest a couple of mugs of Lite
Beer- who ever heard of a caper that
didn't involve a couple of mugs?
Why Lite Beer? It's a lot like me and my
books-great taste, less filling (some
people can't get their fill of my books), and
always good to spend time with.
At any rate, follow my advice and, who
knows-you might turn out a heck of a
story. Or you might turn out to be a heck of
a Lite Beer drinker.
