Congratulations on the splendid record turned in by the
University of Nebraska fraternity and sorority students in
their scrap drive. The materials situation is now one of the
limiting factors in war production and every pound of scrap
collected will help to build more tanks, planes, guns and
ships. Your record is an outstanding one and a direct con
tribution toward winning the war.

somber-garbed Iloosiers overshade the Ihiskcis in every de

One minute remained in the first half when Indiana struck

One more hasty dash by the N'euro star brought the ball,
first and ten. to the Hi yard stripe. Renowned Hilly Hillen

perfect block by l-ou Saban. his quarterback. Hilly cut wide

Action of the play centers
around three young girls and three
young men in New York to get
on the stage who all share the
same small apartment, because of
financial difficulties.
A big-time Broadway producer
lives in the apartment below them
and the scheme of the six is to
somehow get the producer to see
their production of one of his
plays. When he is finally per
suaded to listen and watch them,
the performance of a murder scene
is so realistic that policemen
swarm into the room.

tryouts last week includes Car

Helen Kiesselbaeh, Robert Black,
Larry Taylor, Mary Huffman, Ja
nice Marx, Romulo Soldevilla, Jo

worked out for this season. For
the five plays a season booklet of
five tickets sells for two dollars
plus a 20 cent federal tax. The
tickets do not have to be reserved
for the same night all season as
has previously been the custom.
Reserved seats may be obtained
for any night in the week pre
ceeding the play and several or
all of the five tickets may be used
on one or two plays.

a fantasy of a lonely lighthouse
keeper whose life is built around
six people shipwrecked 90 years
before and brought back to life
in his own imagination.

James Bartlet's best known play
concerning a Scot lassie married
to a politician. Dates for this play
