I Certainly llitr-1 s Loose" They are still telling tales about the University Players' jaunt to Grand Island with "Three Men on a Horse" and Ray Ramsay. On the way home their bus broke down and they were delayed until another could be sent out from Lincoln to res cue them. Consequently it was about 5 in the morning when the weary troup at last arrived back at the Temple. And there, Job-like in truth, was Walter Stroud. He had waited all that time Just to take Gina Amos home. As we were bracing oursclf against a trembling pillar in the Temple Wednesday when the con vocation was letting out, we shocked a pious lad by venturing the remark that when that throng pours out of the auditorium, "Hell certainly busts loose!" And it was the truth; the building was rocked to its foundations. And so we thought of notable mass confusions about the univer sity. There is the pandemonium that reigns when the band is warming up, the thundering herd that swarms the coliseum maples post-basketball games. There is the quaking that results when classes are dismissed in U hall, or the racket from a Rag staff in full swing. There are the choked corridors of Sosh in the height of the noontide exodus. Man is a noticeably less rational creature in group or mob forma tion. Below the surface behavior patterns assert themselves. What the objective observer sees in such action is perhaps characterized by the words we saw painted in flaming letters on the back of a suede jacket in the Drug: "LIFE IN THE RAW." V i: All this heavy thawing necessi tates virtual navigation of the campus scene. As one little blonde 50 aptly put it, "You really need boats to get around." Which calls to mind Pat Jensen's worrlment for the flood victims. At the very height of the rampant water, when all public utilities were tempora rily out of commission, she ex pressed great concern: "Just think, you can't even take a bath!" We hate to pull repeaters, but some people seem to have the happy talent for always having things happen to them or about them. Dr. Wimberly's classes furnish more than their share ot the quips and quotable quotes for the sparkling tongued boys and girls. Only yesterday Helen (Continued on Page 2.) SEES POPPET EXHIBIT Miss Meyer Tells Alpha Lambda Delta's of New Hobby. Constructing a head for a mar ionette several years ago proved to be the beginning of a fascinat ing hobby for Marguerite Meyer, junior in Teacher's college, who spoke before the meeting of Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman women's honorary, in Ellen Smith hall yesterday. 'Sing Lo, the doll, had to have a body, then clothes, and finally a theater and companions," said Miss Meyer. "My hobby just grew." Exhibiting three marionettes which she has constructed, Miss Meyer described the manner in which they arc made and the materials which are used in mak ing the various types of dolls. She then outlined the history of the marionette theater from its begin ning in the days of early Egyp tian history to the present day. "I like making marionettes," said Miss Meyer, "because almost every type of handicraft from woodcarv ing to work with electricity is in cluded in it." Following the talk by Miss Meyer, Virginia Tookey. sopho more in Teacher's college, played Witches Dance" by McDowell on the piano. y. m., y7w7to"sponsor ALL UNIVERSITY RETREAT Students of Both Campuses to Attend Affair at Hi-Y Building.

Realization of the dream of h bridge across San Francisco ly after f0 years of planning was told by K. B. Slason of the American Steel and Wire company before an all engineering convocation held last night in Social Science audi torium. Mr. Slason in addition to his lecture presented .r0 minutes of sound motion pictures to the group which also included mem bers of the Lincoln Engineers club. Opening with an historical sketch of the bridge, Mr. Slason explained how the first serious agitation for such a structure began back in 1S56 and was taken up again in 1S68. U was not until 1929. how ever, that the idea began to take specific form. At that time Presi dent Hoover formed the Young San Francisco Bay commission which acquired the services of Charles H. Purcell. a graduate In civil en gineering from Nebraska in 1906 to become secretary of the com mission and make a survey of the most feasible location for the bridge. A site was chosen running from Rincon hill in San Francisco to Verba Buena island across to Oakland. R. F. C. Finances Structure. "On Dec. l. 1932. the Recon struction Finance Corporation agreed to purchase bonds up to 61,400,000 to finance the struc ture." explained Mr. Slason.

The subject for this year's in tramural debate will be "Resolved, that there should be compulsorary arbitration of labor disputes." Al tho there is a great amount of ma terial on the topics, preparation of the subject does not involve an elaborate study of statistical in formation. The question was chos en because it is one of the most timely subjects of controversy. Notices are being sent to all fra ternity houses and to all non-fraternity groups which are not mem bers of Delta Sigma Rho.

Altho this is the most ambitious work of the players since their presentations last season and the season belore of "Cyrano" and "Yellow Jack." and it is largely experimental, the players feel con fident that their university friends and patrons will find "Lost Hori zons" interesting in theme and ex ecution.
