A letter reached Lincoln from Fred C. Farr '17
dated "Somewhere in France Sept. 29, 1917." He
writes, "We've been in our present camp about
three weeks. I don't know how much longer we
will stay here. I hope we move soon as I'm anxious
for action. We have a pretty good place here and
have access to picture shows held in an old barn.
We see American films featuring Charlie Chaplin
and Fatty Arbuckle. Weather is beautiful during
the day, but the nights are beastly.
"Send the Rag if possible. Tlease say howdy to
the boys, folks, and neighbors."
New Red Cross Class.
Faculty women attended a new Red Cross class
at Nebraska Hail under the direction of Miss Hel
en Radford of the geology department who was
a former Red Cross nurse. An oral quiz was held
at the beginning of each Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday meeting and record of all theoretical and
practical work done was kept.
Receipts of the play "The Piper" were given to
the French War Orphans' Fund.
250 students, faculty members met at the
YWCA to better prepare themselves for the task
5f raising the Nebraska university appropriation of
15,000 for the YMCA war relief work in foreign
countries.
Is NYA a Part Of
National Defense?
According to Robert F. Moore, secretary
of appointments at Columbia university, the
emergency that made necessary the national
youth administration as a relief measure for
students has passed and it is his opinion that
"the allotment of NYA funds for college
students may well be withdrawn and used to
much better advantage for purposes of na
tional defense."
It is indoubtedly true that the nation has
passed from one emergency into another, but it
is also true that there are many deserving
students who need cash paying jobs in order
to continue their education. This fact was
proven by the poll recently conducted by the
Daily Nebraskan on the working conditions
of students at the University of Nebraska.
The NYA allotment for this year totalled
$48,521 at the university which will provide
employment for approximately 450 students on
the city and ag campuses and at the medical
coliepe in Omaha. The original allotment for
the university was $."8,303, but it was cut to
an amount $;16,000 less than the funds allotted
for the 40-41 school year.
Mr. Moore has taken a very shortsighted
position with regard to the place of education
during wartime. To cut NYA allotments to
practically nothing will accomplish negative
results both in the long and short run. Even
if there are more jobs open now, those which
fit into a student's scholastic schedule are no
more numerous than they were before the
war emergency. Also, many of the colleges and
universities over the nation are located in com
paratively small cities w"liere potential em:
ployment does not equal the potential amount
of student labor. This difference between the
labor and employment does not equal the po
tential amount of student labor. This differ
ence between the labor and employment po
tential must be met thru agencies like the na
tional youth administration.
If NYA allotments are eliminated, many
students will be denied an education not only
valuable to themselves, but also to their
country. Colleges and universities are de
signed to produce leaders. Let's not curtail the
production of leaders at a time when leader
ship is so essential to our war effort and to
quell the confusion which always results after
a major conflict whether ending in victory or
defeat.

group. All graduates of the uni
versity who, in 1942, will have
completed all requirements, includ

It was also announced that the

putting it on. So naturally when
somebody got kilt in the play the
cast was a little smaller.
By 8 o'clock, which was curtain
time, the place was pretty-near
clear filled up with people come to
see the play.
Setting.
What they saw was these here
people walking around and talking
around on that there stage in a
setting which pretty-near Bent
chills up and down their spines
just from sittin' there and lookin'
at it. It represented an old isolated
farmhouse on the bank of the
Thames marshes in England.
After a little while what these
here people saw was somebody
come out on the stage when every
body else was away from the
house. Except for one of the girls,
who was sittin' there at the old
foot-pump organ playln' "Titwil
low" just sittin' there, alive mind
ye, playin' in that gloomy, moon
lit room.
Anyway, those people saw mur
der done in this here "Ladies in
Retirement" and liked it
Anybody else interested in seein'
what happened can go either to
night or tomorrow night and see
who gets kilt, 'cause Mr. Paul
Bogen, who is the Theater di
rector, says the play has a three
day run and that tickets . an be
got in the Temple box-office.
And Bogen he said that this sec

cutis on trousers
There are cuffs on trousers for practical reasons. At
one time, straps attached to the bottom held trousers
down. When straps ceased to be used, plain bottom
trousers became fashionable. Men walking through
the country turned the bottoms up. 'o avoid under
brush and to keep them clean. Gradually cuffs were
adopted for town wear.

Marie Anderson Superlative.
Marie Anderson, a newcomer to
the Players' productions, gave a
superlative performance as Ellen
Creed, a woman with a tormented
conscience. Her acting was re
strained and confined primarily to
voice control.
Josephine Weaver and Joyce
Burke, as the two "potty" sisters
were more than convincing in their
weird characterizations, and de
served the applause given them
by appreciative listeners.
As the retired chorus girl whose
morals had improved with age,
Phyllis Welch handled her lines
capably, and Max Whittaker, as
cockney Albert, gave his part the
essential cunning to insure a good
performance.
Maribel Hitchcock gave her
usual unusually good perform
ance as Lucy, the saucy maid; and
the role of Sister Theresa, played
by Martha Ann Bengston, caught
audience appeal for its simplicity
and directness.
