PAGE TWO TIIE DAILY NEBIttSKAN, SUNDAY, JANUARY 16, 1938 Quit Stallin' Now, And Give! ''The nl'lVriiif? will now lie taken," says ;i voice tliat is as I'inn as it. is r;ilni. You real ize lli.tt it is Sunday ami tliat you are again in lliat uncomfortable position in which you have to divide your generosity ly your means and multiply the result by a sufficiently large digit to keep from gelling a negative number. A fidgety rustle steals over the audience ns four solemn ushers march to the front of the congregation, carrying their new fangled trays, lined with felt so that you get no more credit in the way of clanking sound from a dime than from a cartwheel. The touch men take their places amid touching music front the stealthy organist whose pay is overdue. The collectors stand with heads bowed in hu mility because they are agents of the Lord or because Ihey are ashamed before their fellow men in face of what they are about to do. The minister puts out his hands to pray, first with palms upward and mil ward, forget ting his tact in bis urgenee to get the mort gage paid off, and then downward in an atti tude of blessing. "Let us pray," he sounds. "Oh Alma Mater, we thank you for this great work we are doing here at 14th and R sts. But we ask you to remind all of us, oh Alma Mater, that the basis of the spiritual is the physi cal. Out of the bounty of which the uni versity hath given ye students, returneth a mite thereof to the university of that which rightfully belongs to it, for the world and the fullness thereof belong- to the university and great shall be your reward in the Union building, for the great university, benefactor, hath made all things possible, including the nearly completed structure in the front yard of the A. T. 0. house." In ease you don't know it, sorority and fraternity philanthropists, you have now been lulled, on this otherwise cheerful Sunday morning, into that mellow mood which the minister achieves when ho is trying to keep you from feeling his hand in your purse pocket. The Student Union board is on foot for a touch. The days of grace are at an end. The glory of sacrifice, which looked so fine in print about two years ago when pledges were freely made to the Union building fund, has lost its halo. The pledges are overdue. A drive is on to collect the two-thirds of them which have not been paid. House Presidents, have a look into your coffers, or negotiate a loan immediately in case you already know the bitter truth. Break it to the brethren and sistern that that man is here for the rent. And give ! How to Get It Back Organized houses on this campus are probably no more in the velvet, unless 1he color he red, than those anywhere else. The fact that the Union building pledges have not been paid is a case in point. Hut both (ireek and barb bouses on other campuses are avail ing themselves of a money saving scheme which has not been introduced here. It is the participation in consumer's co operatives that is saving students on other campuses money. The idea is gaining forte over ihe country, the latest success being the one at Dartmouth where a co-operative store launched temporarily on a five month basis has recently been rechartcred permanently. There is little doubt that a co-operative on this campus, with the advantages of mass buying and non-profit operation, would be a boon to both students and professors. Student council representatives to the Na tional Student federation congress at Alhil (iierque came back recently full of enthusi asm for campus co-operatives. The NFS is supporting the move for organization of cam pus consumers and it supplies information on the establishment of stores. The Student council carried on some dis cussion of the matter last week. President Al Mosenian stated that if house presidents were to express some indicat ion of willingness to co-operate in such a project, Ihe council would go ahead with preliminary organization. Siutkni (PjuIm Crank or Crilic? To the Editor: We have just witnessed one of the most stupid, asinine, putrid, obnoxious, execrable performances ever given by the University Play ers. Maybe their best friends won't till them, but we feel that it is our duty to society to inform them of this social crime. It seems to us tliat when uni versity students take time to at tend a performance of the Univer sity Players which costs them $2 for six plays, they should be en titled to at least one mediocre per formance among the six. So far this year all of the plays given have been exceptionally poor. We fed that they have been poorly cast, directed, costumed and acted. They show complete lack of fin ish, and, may we add, the Univer sity Players are finished unless prune radical change occurs in the lype of plays presented and acted dining the rest of this year. Con tinuance of the so called perform ances of the masterpieces of prom ising young playwrights will make it a Herculean feat for even the Tassels to sell tickets to. For the benefit of those who feel that our criticism is too gen eral we wish to state a few spe cific points upon which we based our criticisms. The most out standing example of poor costum ing was evident in the play "Pen nywise." We noticed that the out fit worn by one of the feminine leads was sorely in need of altera tion. We also noticed that one of the feminine leads wore a green dress while the other wore a blue. We wouldn't say that the colors clashed. We'd call it a battle royal. In this week's play, "I Know Her,'' the acting stood out like a sore thumb on a well mani cured hand. The interpolation of the phrase, "By gad," might have been very clever but, handled by Nebraska's challenger to John Barrymore's fame, words fail us. We fed that the charm of the "Svedish" maid would have been enhanced if she would have said, "I tank I go home, now," and the rest of the cast had taken her ad vice. B. L. NEW PHILOSOPHY AIDS STUDENT PREPARATION (Continued from Page 1.) learning, is seeking to discover what it is that its students need most of all n order to achieve that which is most essential to success and happiness, individual ly and collectively. Each is desir ous of discovering the needs of society and the means whereby these may be quickly and defi nitely satisfied. Less Dictating, "More ami more evidence is ac cumulating to support the conten tion that institutions of higher learning are not so much deter mined to control or dictate to the secondary schools what they shall offer for college entrance as they are to sympathetically co-operate with the secondary schools in inte grating and unifying the programs and activities of each so as to insure a wholesome continuity in all of the endeavots of the stu dents for which the schools exist. This is as it should be." Dr. Hosenlof is secretary of the North Central association and has held this position for more than two years.

Kathryn Cravens is getting ready for a trip to Vassar to tell the girls just how a woman radio re porter works. Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians are completing their tenth year on the air. In 3927 Guy left Cleveland and went to Chicago taking nine of his musi cal countrymen with him. He got a job in the Granada Cafe and during the first nights of his ap pearance there he played to empty tables and an audience composed of the waiters and the proprietor. Lombardo became discouraged and wanted to quit rather than lose money for the cafe by holding the owner to his contract. The owner said that he could stand the loss and besides he liked the music and could afford to have the band play just for his benefit. The empty tables got on Guy's nerves, hi -ever, and in despera tion he suggested that they broad cast. The arrangements were made and he was aired over WBBM in the Windy City. Leslie Atlass, the owner of the station, was listening at home and liked the band so well he telephoned to have them stay on the air nn ! other half hour. j Overnight crowds fuught for the ' once empty tables at the Granada. The muffled brasses caunlit the fancy of the audience and shortly Lombardo was luaid over a na tionwide CBS net. He has had no trouble in getting crowds since. He is the favorite on "Tin ran. Alley" and song publishers give him exclusive rights to songs for four or five weeks. He then turns them over to other bands and he takes up a new one. Brothtr Car men does his bit as a composer too. His outstanding contributions have been "Boo Hoo," and "Sail boat in the Moonlight." Among the outstanding hits introduced by the Canadians are "Lullaby of the Leaves," "Too Many Tears," "You're Driving Me Crazy," 'Tin In the Mood for Love," "Annie Doesn't Live Here Any More," "This Year's Crop of Kisses'" "Moonlight and Shadows," "it Looks Like Rain in Cherry Blos some Lane," and "Harbor Lights." Taking sheet music sales as an in dex, one or more of Guy's intro ductions was in the first three every week during last year except two.
