ONG DEBATE CUP
Rumor Saus Another Lean Year
Party in Offing; Men Take Heed
Rumor has it that Mortar Board
is contemplating a party similar
to the Leap Year celebration it
sponsored last year. This secret
accidentally leaked out but it was
probably intentional. Just a nit
way of warning the fellows ahead
of time. Considerable Improvement
is expected in courtesy extended
girls. Doors will be graciously
opened for baffled coeds, hankies
dropped will be Immediately
snatched up, business will be rush
ing at the Moon and dateless girls
will be swamped with formal bids.
The exact foundation for this
rumor has not been definitely es
tablished but it Is thought that
Mortar Board members are plan
ning this party to give stay-at-home
glils (not that any Mortar
Boards are bothered that way) a
chance to get out and see a little
university night life. Again it may
be merely Mortar Board's way o
encouraging Improvement in man
ly courtesy.

SEEK NEW TALENT IN
TRYOUTS OF DEC. 14
Men May Apply for Parts;
Must Give Character
Role From Play.
Tryouts for dramatic parts with
the University Players will be held
Wednesday, Dec. 14th, at 2 p.
m., it was announced yesterday Dy
Miss H. Alice Howell. This will be
the second series of tryouts this
year, the first naving Deen neiu
early in the school year. These try
outs will be open to men only.
All men wishing to try out will
be required to prepare for presen
tations a character part from some
play. It is also possible for two or
three aspirants to join togeiner
and give a scene from a play.
Have Three Enterprises.
The dramatics department con
tains three divisions in which stu
dent actors may find an outlet for
their talents: The University Play
ers, the Student theater, and the
Children's theater, the last-named
group giving a play once a month
for school children. Much talent is
needed to carry on these dramat
ical enterprises, according to Miss
Howell, and it is thru tryouts that
new student acting ability is un
covered. Many character portrayals, it
was reported, will be open for
those who prove themselves cap
able of handling them. Juvenile,
serious, comedy, and eccentric
roles are among the types yet un
filled, and beeinners have just as
much chance as veterans in the
department, it was stated.
All those who are interested
ha v been reauested to report in
the near future at Temple building

determine the most popular man
on the campus. It was quite sur
prising the number of fellows who
were really conceited enough to
think that they might get it. Ray
Ramsay, the lucky man, was pre
sented at the party. Leavitt Dear
born, prominent D.U., and Packy
McFarland, prize Delt, are thought
to be secretly planning to compete
if a similar vote is taken this year.
Girls have heard so much about
the depression this year that they
are anxious for the opportunity to
say nonchalantly to their datet
"I'm broke tonight. We can't eat.
This depression, you know." Other
more prosperous coeds have ex
posed their regrets that Interfra
teraity council has prohibited
sending corsages.
This may all be simply campus
gossip but the fellows are rushing
around and paying unusual atten
tion to girls who might ask them
for dates to this event, which will
probably be staged sometime In
February.

Action on Reauest Deferred
For Time; Decorations
Fund Increased.
A request from the Barb Coun
cil for the reservation of Saturday
evening, Feb. 11, 1933, for an All
University night was read before
the Student Council at its reguar
monthly meeting yesterday after
noon. Due to the fact that several
organizations had already sched
uled functions for that evening',
the request was not granted at the
meeting, but a committee was ap
pointed with the power to act on
behalf of the council in investigat
ing and making a decision on the
matter.
Disposal of $311.79, left from
the junior-senior prom last year,
was also made. It was unanimously
voted to turn the money over to
the fund for permanent decora
tions for the coliseum. The money
had been voted last winter to the
drouth relief fund for the suffers
in northern Nebraska. This fund
was discontinued before the pro
ceeds was turned over, the money
remaining in the treasury during
the year.
Discussion was also made of the
establishment of a Co-operative
book exchange, to be run in order
that students might secure second
hand ixoks at a reduced price. It
was stated that another organiza
tion is planning to sponsor an ex
change. A motion was passed to
limit to 10 percent the profits made
from the sale of the books, "unless
otherwise allowed by the council."
Othjr routine business matters
were also taken up at the meeting,
after which a short conference of
the activities tax committee was
held.
