One of the hot spots in the
Theta crazy quilt popped in on
us yestiday afternoon. A blonde
babe by the name of Gerry An
derson, she tossed chatter at us
to the effect that she was here
to aid in this writing orgy. We
opened the portals and welcomed
her with open arms. The arms
are still open and the blonde babe
is done.
Fiji squeege Al O'Connor passes
his time trying to lay the ground
work for play with dorm cute
child Loretta Bauer. His "under

Hosman is about as hot as an
ice cube since he stood her up
so bad last weekend that there
was doubt in some circfes as to
whether she would ever be able to
stoop again.. . . Add masterpieces

pened the other morn when some

cek to query "I'm not a Greek and
I wondered if there was any chance
of me getting to go to the Greek
Ball Friday night?" Ren queried
back, "Are you affiliated?" "Yes,"
came the answer, "but I've been
told that you have to be a "Greek
to get in!!" . . . Big blowup came
the other night in the Sig New
hut when industrious brothers
planted a screech bomb under the
bed of prexy Kenny Holm. There
was plenty of noise, a nice fire
afterwards, and Holm streaking
down to the parlor in the nice
time of two seconds. By the shades
of Ed Weir! . . .
From Turner Field in Georgia
comes a publicity release on ZBT's
Hub Monsky being commissioned
in the air corps. We quote, "Lieu

Omaha Central High school, and
Nebraska University at Lincoln.
He is a member of Zeta Bet Tau
fraternity and Theta Nu Epsilon

give up their lives, it isn't much to
ask of the girls." Along the same
point of view was Ed Faytinger's
comment "If it would really help
national defense, it is O. K."
More personal in their opinions
but still pulling for future natural
ness were Jim Nicola, who hope
fully believes "They will probably
look just as good; and Dick Geesa

Sinkey thinks "Boys should
know what they are getting any
way," and "It would depend on the
girl" was Art Lincoln's sentiment.
Summing up all the answers of
those who like the idea was How
ard Debus' slow but thoughtful "It
would sure save on hankies."
And so the boys disagree, but
for the girls, we say "NO DEAL."

Dramatic Critic Puts Some
War Plays on Casualty List
By Pat Chamberlin.
"The United States is spoken of
as the arsenal of democracy. But
it is more than an arsenal for arms
for democracy; it is the last
stronghold of arts the world has
today."
John Mason Brown, dramatic
critic for the New York World
Telegram, and author of the recent
"Unaccustomed As I Am," made
this assertion last night in present
ing "Broadway on Review." Mr.
Brown's talk was the third in the
Town Hall series of lectures spon
sored each winter by the Junior
League of Lincoln.
The duty of the theater today
as seen by Mr. Brown is to sus
tain, amuse, and assist the people
during and between present-day
world crisis. From the moment of
Pearl Harbor on, the theater suf
fered as complete and as radical
a change as did the whole coun
try. Before we were forced to
war, the only certainties were
"death and taxes," but after Pearl
Harbor Americans realized a deep,
fundamntal desire for freedom.
This theme has been played up
and often over-played in all the
so-called "war dramas" of today.
The Telegram dramatic critic ex
presssed the hope that all war
plays written before Pearl Harbor
will find themselves "among the
pitiful war casualties," because
playwrights before our entrance
into the war seemed unaware of
the "ugly facts of nazism."
To this day the best war play
in Mr. Brown's opinion is Robert
N. Sherwood's "There Shall Be No
Night," which recently closed on
the road for international reasons
that is, because of the tragedy of
Finland.
"The Wookey" and "The Man
New York, and "Candle in the
With Bloond Hair," now playing in
Wind" on tour with Helen Hayes,
all wartime dramas, received scant
praise from the critic who classed
them among the should-be war
casualties. .
Shhh!
Quiet Please!
