while Art Bailey is captivating
Duncan Sowles, or some other of

there's a lot going on behind the
scenes the crowd doesn't see.
Someone has to see that every
cast member has his complete set
of costumes, and every time a
player appears in a different "get

in and another one checked out.
Another man has the job of handl

Names of Winners Will Be
Announced This
Spring.
Through the generosity of
alumni and friends of the institu
tion, the University of Nebraska
has available several scholarships
of $100 each. The names of the
winners of these scholarships will
be announced this spring. One-half
of the money will generally be paid
when the student enters school
next fall, and one-half of the
money when the student begins
work the second semester of next
year. A junior prize of $100 and a
freshman prize of $25 to be paid
this spring are also available.
Since it is an honor to hold one
of the scholarships, the recipients
will be students of outstanding
ability. The candidate for a schol
arship should have demonstrated
high scholarship, industry and per
severance, as well as a reasonable
promise for the future. At the
same time, in accordance with the
wishes of the donors of the schol
arships, no student who is well
able financially to pay his own
way at the university can be con
sidered an applicant. A student
receiving one of these scholarships
is expected to have shown his de
sire for an education by making
sacrifices for it. The scholarships,
except as noted, are open to all
undergraduate students of the uni-
versity. Applications and recom
mendations for both scholarships
and prizes, unless otherwise indi
cated, should be sent to the chan
cellor's office, 101 Administration
Building, on or before noon of May
