University Players Iron Out Rough Spots in 'Judgment Day' Performance Dick Rider, Ray Brown 1 Grace Hill Standouts BY ROWENA BEADLE. With an appreciative audience applauding their third perform ance, the University Flayers gave a stirring portrayal of "Judgment Day" last night. The play has im proved a great deal since the open ing Tuesday ntgnt; it movea faster, was much more vivid, and several actors showed marked improvement. Dick Rider took over the stage the moment he appeared, and as the Minister of Culture and Pub lic Enlightenment, he gave an ex cellent performance. Raymond Brown also was noticeably good in the role of the chief judge, Or. Michael Vlora, for he did a piece of really good acting. Although man, showed Improvement over her first performance. Losing net first night a nervousness, she was a convincing, spirited woman on trial for her life. Johnson Vivid. The play, which is especially in teresting because of its present the p'.ay moved a little slowly at times, it was intensely interesting.

Cigarette Stub Fires Union Sofa Fire started by a carelessly dis carded cigarette burned a sofa in the main lounge of the Student Union following the matinee dance Wednesday afternoon. The cover ing of the piece was so badly scorched that it will be necessary to replace it, according to Kenneth Van Sant, Union director. He es timated the loss at about $150. "In view of the numerous ash trays scattered thruout the build ing, such damage is needless," stated Mr. Van Sant. He urged all students to exercise great care to avoid any recurrence of the incident Extra curricular minded inei; will no longer be permitted to have their fingers in one of every two activities on the campus, it was announced Thursday after noon after a meeting of the men's student activities board. The first meeting of the board was designed to define its purpose and lay plans for immediate en forcement of the new men's activ ity point system. As provided by the board s constitution, the presi dent of Innocents society is to serve as chairman. Stanley Brew ster is heading the board, with Morris Lipp, editor of the Daily Nebraskan, as vice chairman. ueorge Kosen was elected secretary-treasurer, and Don Moss will serve as file chairman. The men's student activities board was created in conjunction with the men s activity point sys tern by the Student council late last year. Functions of the board will be the enforcement of the point system, formulation of new activity pointing, and the hearing of appeals on any questions of the system. Eligibility Rulings. "it win De tne duty or every man in any single activity on the campus to see that our records of him are complete," Chairman Brewster stated. "If our records are not complete at the time for an election or promotion, this board will have the power to de clare that man Ineligible." The constitution of the board stipulates that the body shall be composed of the following: Presi dent of Innocents society. Daily Nebraskan editor, president of (Continued on Page 4.)' YM Plans Drive China Representative To Conduct Discussions Members of the Y. M. C. A. cabi net met last night in the Temple theater. Topics of discussion were the finance campaign to be held, and the approaching visit of Ly man Hoover, representative stu dent of the Y. M. in China. Mr. Hoover has just arrived from China and will spend five days in Nebraska next week. He will speak to Y. M. groups here and at other colleges in the state. Today the Bible Discussion group will hold a luncheon in room 6 of Former Museum from 12 to 12:50. The discussion, which will be led by Reuben Denning, will be "The Changing Idea of God in the Bible." Mention should go to Grace Hill, who, as the defendant Lydla Ku day significance, shows the injus tice of a dictatorship, and the un fairness of a trial held in a state where such a form of government exists. The five judges, the prose cuting attorney, the witnesses, and even the defense attorney, are hired by the state. Robert Johns ton, as the prosecuting attorney, Dr. Bathory, was at times sarcas tic, at times eloquent. His ner formance was vivid and energetic. Don Meier, as the defendants brother who had come from the United States to aid her, and Dar ren Peters, as the state's defense attorney, lacked the first wnich Johnston put into his lines. Several clever lines were aimed against the United States, as when one of the judges asked the Amer ican lawyer, "Do you belong to the republican, or one of those other radical parties?" Whole Cast Improve. Jack Bittner, as the cafe owner Vassili Bassaraba, almost stole the show. Claudine Burt, also in a relatively small part, made a charming and convincing Ital ian opera singer, and added a great deal of life to this court room play. The five judges, Ray mond Brown, La Rue Sorrell, John Gaeth, Verne Geissinger and Paul Bradley, all deserve mention. Paul Bogan, as the crazed Kurt Schnei der, again turned in a fine piece of work, as did Bob Alexander. who took the part of George Khitov, man of the people, on trial for attempting to assassinate. the dictator. Although the play at times moved a little slowly, it was on the whole very good. Since the play depends almost entirely upon lines, picking up cues fast, and creating a tense atmosphere with out using much action, "Judgment Day" is a hard play to give. Sev eral clever lines, two comedy parts, and dramatic intensity all make the play interesting. Fans Gather Before Union This Evening Parade Starts at 7:30; Entertainment Includes Fireworks, Glee Club To nerish the thought of los ing three strnight games for the first time in 39 yenrs and to whip up enough enthusiasm to instill the Cornhusker iootlmll squad with a real will and reason to win, Nebraska students will gather tonight at 7:30 o'clock on the steps of the Student Union to begin what should be the most spectacular, enthusiastic, and bois terous rally o ftne year.
