O. "Does" Mclntvre, we would de
vote the rest of this space to the
catastrophe of having our evening
so desecrated, but we are not.
We can still count our avowed
readers on the fingers of one
hand, leaving plenty over to
smoke a cigarette, scratch our
neck, or point at a nifty frock
In a store window. But the happy
little band grows. The lastest In
vasion of these Idle words is in
the English department where
an Instructor asks for a private
elaboration of certain "Leisure
Time Activity," material which
appeared under the above head
during the regime of a previous
conductor.
We sweep the following out of
our poet s corner:
'Gentle, modest little flower,
Sweet epitome of May,
Love me but for half an hour.
Love me, love me, little fay." .
Sentences so fiercely flaming
In your tiny shell-like ear,
I should always be explaining
If I loved you, Phoebe dear!
"Smiles that thrill from any dis
tance Shed upon me while sing!
Please ecstaticize existence,
Love me, oh you fairy thing!"
Words like these, outpouring sadly,
You'd perpetually hear,
If I loved you, fondly, madly;
But I do not, Phoebe, dear!

Christian and Copeland is to show
that the defendant was negligent:
and vice versa Attorneys Dull and
Wilson will attempt to show the

Cases this year, Professor Coff
man made clear, are to lack tne
riot squads. Last year budding
lawyers commuted a pscudo ram
der for the sake of reality, but
none of that this year. Doctors,
reporters, a fainting woman, and
police cruiser cars appeared on
the scene, all too real for the com
fort of the aforesaid budding law
yers. For the most part cases of
this semester will be factual.

Mr. McLean, born and raised in

of Rothesay. He continued study
ing and singing with great suc
cess in various cities in the British

The program which will be

CAST TRYOUT FOR
KOSMET COMEDY
Garlow Reports Contacts
Made for Week-End
Road Trip.
Plenty of time remains for those
who may yet wish to try out for
the Kosmet Klub 1936 spring show
and have not done so, Bob Pierce,
president, stressed last night as
tryouts swung into action at the
Temple, approximately 65 candi
dates appearing. Tryouts will
continue bot htonight and tomor
row night at 7:30 o'clock in the
Temple.
With singing masculine voices,
a pounding piano, and likewise
pounding feet of chorus hopefuls
filling the air of the second floor
of the building. Dr. Ralph Ireland,
who has charge of all music and
choruses, was enthusiastic. "There
is plenty of good material here
for choruses and singing parts,"
was his statement. "The show will
be tops for a musical comedy."
Plenty of Material.
Up on third, Joe Iverson waxed
equally buoyant as he reviewed,
with the help of Klub members,
prospects for character parts. "We
have an abundance of material
from which I can assure you we
will produce the best Kosmet Klub
show I have seen," he yelled, with
one boy doing a southern mammy
character in front of him, and
another shouting a Colonel Win
tergreen in another ear.
Pierce stressed the point that
anyone who did not show up Tues
day and wishes to try out may
still do so tonight.
A list of the characters to be
picked follows:
limUi': Tin- annbrrltr.
amlvn: The heroin.-.
Matilda Ttmrndlke: A rirli aunt.
Twinin: Nesrn maid.
I hloe: A Nern mammy.

A miii n. hlrhy: Sniall-tlmr gambler.
The aheriff nnd hi deputy.
One puny elmrlla. nnle male ehorua, and
nnr group of northern Kuents.
Various towns around Lincoln
have been contracted to make ar
rangements to take the show on
the road, according to Bill Gar
low, business manager. "Develop

the play," he said.
