In th last scene he exhibits his very fine talent for emotional interpretation. Alta Reade as Helen Pettigrew, tho girl with whom Peter Stand ish falls in love, makes a very ap pealing figure on the stage. From Peter, she too acquires an inkling (if this strange idea of Time. She is convincing in a role which might easily become fantastic. Miss Zimmer Does Well. Dorothy Zimmer, as Kate Petti grew who first senses the mys teiy which surrounds Peter Stand ish, does not overdo her emotional acting. She acts well and is at ease on the stage. Clara Christcn sen as Lady Anne Pettigrew pre sents a very typical eighteenth century mother. Robert Reade plays the comic character, Tom Pettigrew, the worry and the annoyance of the entire family.

A student ticket to individual games remaining on the Univer sity of Nebraska home football schedule will be placed on sale at $1, according to a Monday an nouncement by John K. Selleck, business manager of athletics, fol lowing a meeting of the Univer sity athletic board. These tickets will be on sale at the student activities office in the University coliseum and may be purchased upon presentation of a student identification card. Games remaining on the University home schedule are University of Kansas, next Saturday; University of Iowa, Nov. 7; and Iowa State col lege, Nov. 21. The one dollar per ticket price is more than half the price scale for non-student purchasers and con siderably under the general admis sion price at the Husker games. Plan Is Temporary Measure. ' "The present plan of placing in dividual tickets on sale to students at reduced prices is a temporary measure being tried this year. The student season book sale is consid erably under that of the past few years, due undoubtedly to the fact many students are pinched finan cially and were unable to put out the nine dollars at the start of the present school year. "Students holding season ath letic books are receiving admis sion to the games at a rate well under the individual game figure. The new ticket of one dollar per game is designed to aid those stu dents who desire to see the Corn huskers in action and were unable to purchase the season book." The new student tickets will be paced on sale for the first time Tuesday morning and many are expected to take advantage of the new price and be in the student section for the Kansas game the Homecoming day event on the Ne braska schedule. Word from Kansas brings the news that more than 500 Kansas students headed by the Jayhawker pep organization, will be at Me morial stadium for the game.

Beginning in 1895, the English department of the University pub lished the Nebraska Literary Mag azine which sold for twenty-five sents a copy. It was discontinued in 1896. At this time the Univer sity Monitor, an attempt at serious journalism, was introduced, but it lasted les3 than a year. H. It.

Jensen, Blair, senior, that the law students of the university were prepared to write in the name of Miss Steinmeier on the ballots in today's election of Ne braska Sweetheart, in the face of the Kosmet Klub statement that she was Ineligible on account of having too many hours credit. The recently passed Klub ruling on eligibility states that to be elig ible for candidacy for the post of Nebraska Sweetheart, a girl must have "not less than twenty-seven credit hours, and not more than eighty-nine." Devereaux Refutes Charges. Replying to the charges brought by Miss Gregory and the law students of discriminatory action, Dick Devereaux, Kosmet Klub president said that the elegibility rule in effect for the first time this year was passed Tuesday night before any examinations of the filings for Nebraska Sweet heart had been made. "Student activities office filings for the post were not investigated until Wednesday, the day following passage of the rule," he stated, "so charges that the Kosmet Klub acting discriminately against any individual or group are untrue." Continuing his refutation of the changes he said, "Kosmet Klub (Continued on Page 3.) COtWOFlLL E Seaton Says More Parking Room Available Than Ever Before.
