Uni. Theatre Sponsors
Four Series Shows, Drama
Something new has been
addod!!! The University Theater
is operating on a four series plan
this year. In addition to the regu
lar plays put on for the public,
there will be a studio theater, the
usual Union shows, and a fresh
man series.
The studio theater will provide
an opportunity for all freshmen
and sopliomores who are really
seriously interested in dramatic
work to display their talents in
the great classical plays.
There will probably be an Ibsen,
a Tehekof, a Moliere, a Shakes
peare, and a Greek tragedy pre
sented. These plays will not be
for the public to enjoy, but for
the acting and directing classes
of the speech department.
The Union series will include
four plays which will be given
under the auspices of the Student
Union and in the Union ballroom.
These are for the public, and the
first will be either November 21
or 22.
Use Frosh Talent
The freshman series will present
another opportunity for all fresh
men intersted in debate, radio, and
theater work to use their hidden
talents to the greatest advantage.
Joe Zimmerman, who took over
the University Theater at the be
ginning of the summer session,
comes from the University of
South Dakota, had graduate work
at the University of Iowa, and had
a very successful summer season.
The new business manager is
Martha Ann Bengtson and the
technical assistant is Bernard
Schwartz.
Plans for this season are by no
means complete, but the first show
will open Nov. 4 and run thru the
5th and 6th. It will probably be
either Claudia or Arsenic and Old
Lace. This year there will be five
plays, four of which will have defi
nite emphasis on comedy and the
fifth will concentrate on contem
porary affairs.
As in previous years, the shows
will open on Wednesday and run
thru Thursday and Friday. The
price of a season ticket is $2.20
including the tax.
More than $700,000,000 has been
appropriated or allocated by the
federal government for expendi
tures related to education during
the year ending June 30, 1942.

Houses on the down-town cam
pus are the Pioneer Co-op, the
Brown Palace Co-op, and the Corn
husker Co-op.
Prior to 1940 cooperative housea
were non-existant on Nebraska's
campus, but in September of that
year the Pioneer Co-op was found
ed and the others followed.
The primary purpose of these
cooperative societies is to make
it possible, thru the cooperation of
the members of the house, for men
who would otherwise be unable to
attend school for financial reasons
are able to do so.
There are 39 boys living in the
Brown Palace Co-op and 34 living
in the Pioneer Co-op. The Pioneer
Co-op was forced to turn away
140 men who had applied for ad
mission and an equal number who
had not.
The only expenses for men liv
ing in either the Brown Palace or
the Pioneer house are the $5 mem
bership fee and $5.50 per week for
room and board.
