That anything which Is a part of the university may rightly be published In the university daily is the belief of Kathryn Bauman president of Kappa Delta, and of Frances Robinson, Sigma Delta Tau officer. Accounts of such events have a definite news value sttaed Miss Robinson. "I don't see any h:u-m in its being published In The Nebraskan.

"Stage property and stage scen ery is worked out on the theory of illusion," declared Robert Reade, stage manager for the players. "Everything on tbe stage is prepared with the specific pur pose of making the individual who is sitting in the last row think that he is gazing upon a room in which he might live himself."
