We can see much fun in store
for those attending the "Petty
Tarty" Saturday right at the ZBT
house... And fellows, did you
check the bids? .. .What's more
the house will literally be covered
with Petty drawings from ceiling
to floor... It sounds swell... Just
so the fellows won't be inattentive
to their respective dates ... Buddy
Goldstein is importing Shirley Ger
shim from Council Bluffs, while
Ed Milder has invited SDT alum,
Bernice Himmlestein. . .The latter
affair is taking on the earmarks
of a very steady romance. . .Intro
duced by a mutual friend, they be
came mutually friendly with a
Military Ball date resulting...
We're speaking of Katie Sloan and
A TO Phil Weaver...
Guess it isn't too early to men
tion a Military Ball date. . .That of
Frances Drenguis, dorm prexy,
and the 'idol of every dorm girl's
affections" Johnny Bestor. . .Last
night Rosa Bouton Hall and the
Cornhusker Co-op got together for
an exchange . . . Resorting to the
proverbial; "A good time was had
by all."...
Oops! Mistake.
Apologies are in order again . . .
The Sigma Nus dined with the Chi
O's last night, not the Kappas
as reported in yesterday's calendar
. . . The Kentucky Derby complete
with horses and the thrills that go
with the race-track have been
promised by the Thetas for their
houseparty Friday... The sisters
are giving 2-1 odds that Ann Has
tings and ATO Mark Hargraves
are going steady. . .They'll be
there, but Maribel Hitchcock will
be in Omaha listening to the music
of Kay Kyser with Sig Alph alum
Buck Buchanan. . .Anything can
happen in the Union. .Like campus

Drama in News Sketches
Drama in the news furnishes
the basis for three orginal sketches
which will be staged in the Union
Sunday at 4 p. m.
Around actual news items, three
students in the department of
sDeech have built what thev call
"living newspaper sketches." The
plays are something comparaDie
to the "March of Time."
Sketches which will be presented
are Robert Black's "The Romance
of the Common Place" directed by

If these cokes were placed one on

20 miles into the stratosphere,
about six times as high as man
has ever been. With 250,000
glasses of the beverage, we could
line the road from here to Kay

liquid in 250.000 cokes; that's
about 390 barrels or enough to fill
the entire Student Union.

Werfel's thesis is that Commu
nism and Fascism are not the dis
ease of mankind but rather the
symptoms of the disease. "They
result from a certain group of
negative emotions because the
meaning of life has been lost," he
declared. With much conviction in
his voice the little man insisted
that "a victory of the democracies
might perhaps annihilate the
symptoms but could not erase the
causes."
Why is man spiritually ill? To
that question Werfel replied that
the difficulty lies in his los3 of
God. "Looking about for some
thing to venerate," Werfel said,
"man finds the god of Success."
His brief but bitter criticism of
contemporary man was this. "Man
is worth as much as he can pay
and receive in payment. His goal
of life consists of selling himself
as expensively as possible and
buying others as cheaply as pos
sible. Every value that cannot be
expressed in terms of money is
non-existent."

The sketches are written, direc

unusual dramatic material which

food director, an average of 1.500
people enter the Corn Crib each
day. And the largest number ever
to visit the grill on any one day
was 2,400. Occasion was the en
tertaining of the Stevens College
girls on the campus last year.
Just for Union patrons the cows
out at ag college have been forced
to work overtime. Every day
about 680 glasses of milk are
served in the grill; and an almost
equal number of milk shakes and
malted milks are consumed.
Favorite ice cream of those who
frequent the grill is vanilla, offi
cial tallies prove. In order of pref
erence come chocolate, chocolate
revel, and mint.
For the many milk shakes sold
the grill buys 465 gallons of a
special ice cream per month. Stu
dents are served 112 pounds of
hamburger and 119 pounds of cube
steak each week.
Complete to the last detail are
the reports of each day's Union
business. Even the weather and
the university affairs of the day
are recorded.

"Can We Live Without Believ

How can we return to God? "Our
reason must overcome our mate
rialistic blindness." said the refu
gee. That enthusiasm of belief in
divine creation would produce in
man a reverence for life that
would transform everything, stat
ed Werfel. "A return to God," he
said, "would rid the world of its
malady."

Today and tomorrow- these are
the last days for the campus cam
paign for memberships in the
American Red Cross. To reach
their goal of $1,000 in the drive,
workers must raise $200 within
the next two days.
Workers on the committee have
been spending the past few days
contacting unaffiliated students,
urging their support of the drive.
As yet, no co tibutions have

in out-of-the-way spots near his
home. It was at this time that he
was in a school for boys in Eng
land and idolized Amundsen, ex
plorer who was planning an ex
pedition to the South Pole. He
asked Amundsen if there were not
something he could do to help him
and the explorer replied that he
needed more money badly.
Realizing that it would do no
good to appeal to his friends who
had an allowance of approximate
ly 15 cents per week, de Prorok
wrote letters to all their parents
asking for money for the explorer.
The astounding part of it is that
in this manner he raised nearly
four hundred dollars for Amund
sen's expedition.
A Sledge the Reward.
Amundsen gave him a piece of
his sledge taken on the expedi
tion and de Prorok has carried it
with him on all of his expeditions
as a good luck piece.
"I have done a lot of submarine
work, showing that you can find
cities under the sea," declared
Count de Prorok. "The French gov
ernment has helped me a lot, but
I have done no filming as yet in
my submarine work."
Count de Prorok, who has been
in the United States a year now,
has spent his time here excavating
on the Keys of Florida and in
Mexico. Professor Worchard,
founder of the museum of Amer
ican Indians in New York, has
been working with him. He feels
that he may make important dis
coveries bearing out his lost At
lantis theory, described by Plato,
which holds that civilization came
from the East and not China, as
historians today believe.

Under Miss Rosborough are
