Playing before crowded houses at
the Orpheum Friday night and at the
Gayety in Omaha Saturday, "The
Wishing Ring", 1924 Kosmet Klub
musical extravaganza, was one of the
most popular school productions for
many years. The play, presented by
a cast of over seventy University peo
ple, proved a hit with the audiences
and every number was called back
for encores again and ' again. The
story and music was written by Cyril
L. Coombs. Law '23. author of the
1923 play.
The theme of the play relates the
experiences of Dolly LaRon, a circus
performer, with a magical wishing
ring given to her by Tim, a fortune
teller with the show. The ring allows
her to make three wishes. Ted Mor
ris, another performer, with whom
Dolly is in love has left the circus
for some unaccountable il'asou with
out telling her. Dolly wishes that
she may be free to roam over the
world, that she may maki her debut
into society and that she and Ted
find a home in the west when he re
turns.
Wishes Portrayed,
The second and third acts show
her wishes as being fulfilled in a
gypsy camp, in a society reception
and finally in her cottage in the west.
Although she makes her wishes they
do not come true and she gives the
ring back to Tim. Just as she has
lost her faith in everything, Ted re-
turns and tells her that he has gone
into business in the west and has a
cottage for her. Everything turns
out right and the wishing ring is used
as her engagement ring.
The part of Dolly was played by
Marguerite Munger and her solo,
" The Wishing Ring " was one of the
features of the comedy. Ward Wray
took the lead opposite her and their
love duet, " Shadow Time," in the
last act was one of the many pretty
song numbers.
Give Dance Numbers.
Some attractive dance numbers
were presented. The dances were
directed for the play by Miss Donna
Gustin who appeared in a dance en
titled "Memories of Cinderella." Miss
Gustin and Herbert Yenne also gave
dance, "A La Argentine."
Orville Andrews as Samson the
black-face comedian sang an amus
ing number entitled, "Dear Old Vir
ginia. He was supported by a male
quartet and was called back several
times. Helen Cowan, taking the part
of Mrs. DePyster also sang "One Lit
tle Word Dear."
Llewellyn Hawley, playing the part
of Tim, an Irish fortune teller, in
spired Dolly to have faith in the wish
ing ring until her wish came true.'
A duet and dance was given by
Katherine Saylor and Ralph Ireland
in tne third act. The school days
dance given by the "school kids" and
the appearance of John R. Baylor,
three-year-old actor, in person were
other features of the last act.
Other leading parts included Lord

Nebraska won from the Kansas
Aggies, 9 to 8, in a game at the
Farmers fair Saturday but dropped
the opener to the visitors, 8 to 5,
at Rock Island park Friday. Large
crowds were on hand for both games.
The Cornhuskers ran up a three-
point lead in the first three innings
of the opening game, but blew-up
in the fourth inning when the Aggies
crossed the plate four times. Volz
slammed the ball over the right field
fence for a home run in the fifth
after the Aggies had added two more
points to their total. Neither team
scored during the eighth and the
Kansas athletes did the same in the
ninth. Lewellen and Lang were the
Nebraska battery, with Hubka going
in as a substitute for Lang.
Two home runs by Bloodgood and
two by Volz featured the Saturday
game. Peterson was on the mound
for Nebraska with Hubka catching.
Cunningham, Aggie pitcher, was easy
for the Huskers, and Conroy, who
pitched j Friday, was finally sent in.
The score was tied at the end of
the sixth but Nebraska made a run
in the eighth. The Kansas team
failed to score during the first of the
ninth and the game was over.

(Special to the Daily Nebraskan)
Knoxville, Tenn., May 3. The
midwest student conference closed
here this aftrnoon after a three-day
session, the last two of which were
devoted to the problems of student
government. The discussion was in
augurated by an address to the con
vention by Dean Clark of Hlinois.
Dean Clark stated that the point of
view in dealing with the student
problems must be from the basis of
principle rather than expediency. He
challenged the effectiveness of stu
dent government at least in the mat
ter of disciplinary measures, because
of the students having to shoulder
the necessary responsibilities which
went with the work.
It was reported by the members of
the conference that the single--tax fee
was in general use either for all ac-
