show, "Ski Stealers," which will
Ik staged April 8 to 13, Includes
four different dunces to be exe
cuted by three full choruses.
This yeur'a show will offer va
rious new innovations, Bob Lead
ley, writer and ex-offlclo director,
opined. Only one chorus will do
the traditional single-line, sym
metrical dunce. New dances and
routined have been created so that
flinull group nnd solo performances
will be highlighted. Many Kline,
dance director, said that this new
arrangement would make for a
botter show.
Considerable stimulus was pro
vided dancers with the appear
ance of the dove-dancer, Rosita
Itoyce, who assisted with the first
practice session. Dancers will
drill nightly next week.
The one big problem confront
ing the production artists now is
how to outfit the choruses with

There will be a rehearsal for
both the cast and pony chorus,

Ed Weir's Huskers staved off
Missouri in as nerve-t i n g 1 i n g
a windup as you could ask for
last night as Nebraska came thru
to regain their Big Six title from
the Tigers by a 35 1-5 to 32
margin. Iowa State was third
with 20 1-5, Kansas State fourth
with 19 Vi, Oklahoma fifth with
14 ','2 and Kansas last with 10 2-5.
The sophomoric Huskers piled
up a 32 1-5 to 15 lead over Mis
souri at the end of seven events,
but from then on out it was a
case of Missouri against the field
in what proved to be a futile at
tempt to overtake the Huskers.
Red Littler won tne 60 and 440,
Bill Smutz the 60 yard lows and
Harold Hunt the pole vault as the
Huskers rolled up points in the

Surrey talks

Ace style scout brings
advice on new clothing
trends to Union Monday
Robert Surrey, ace style scout in
men's clothing, will address a
forum for men only in the Union
Monday. The forum will be con
ducted on the basis of a discussion
and those who attend are invited
to submit any questions which they
wish answered.
Surrey Is employed by a leading1
men's clothing manufacturer to
cover the United States in a search
for new trends in clothing for men.
He is now on his way to Sun Val
ley where he will cover winter
sports, topping off at the cam
puses of the various universities
where he says he finds many good
style suggestions from college men
who are not afraid to initiate new
patterns.
Knows the country.
Hollywood is another good field
for studying styles, he declares, for
it is one of the most influential
cities in the United States in style
trends. Surrey visits Palm Beach
and desert resorts in winter and
the western coast in summer. From
his notes will come the plans for
the newest releases in men's
clothes.
The forum will be held in parlors
X, Y, and Z of the Union at 11

"Like this," said Rosita Royce,
the dove girl of World's Fair
fame, as she and her doves demon
strated poses with Roy Petsch for
the benefit of the Kosmet Klub
pony chorus. Artfully arranging1
about her in the muscled members
of the pony chorus whom she is
helping to train for the spring
show, she willingly posed for pho
tographers. "I was in New York City all
summer and never saw any of the
city except on the way in. and on
the way out," said Rosita, formerly
Marjorie Corrington of Lincoln.'
"There was a show every 45 min
utes for about 12 hours a day until
I had a nervous breakdown," ex
plained Rosita. "Even the doves
went to the hospital to recuperate
from their overwork."
She tames them.
Miss Royce, on a short vacation
with her manager-father, will
ingly admitted her age is 24 and
that she is still unmarried. When
asked about the origin of the idea,
she replied that it occurred to her
when she induced some almost
tame doves to perch on her arm
when she was working in San
Francisco about six years ago. She
has been working on tho stage
since she was seven.
