Lincoln Journal.
. . . BIG-SHOTS AND ENTERTAINERS, the sextette above take leading parts in their fra
ternity's skits in the fall Kosmet Kluh show, to be given Saturday afternoon. Preston Hays
is a WAAC; Bob McNutt's a serenader; Phil Kantor, a big, fat mamma ; Perry Fuller, Father
Divine; David Walcott, a song- and dance man; and Bob Fast is a member of Hitler's court.
UN's amateur theatrical talent will have a
clwinee to "trod the boards" of the Nebraska
Theatre Saturday afternoon when Kosmet
Klub again presents its traditional Fall Revue.
lielieving in the theory that talent is where
you find it, eight fraternities searched harder
than the rest of the organized houses on the"
campus, and placed skits in the Klub show.
Providing the laughs and entertainment
will be Sigma Nu, Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha
Sigma Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi,
Sigma Alpha Mu, Phi Gamma Delta and Phi
Kappa Psi.
The UN-Seahawk game will be broadcast to
the audience, and to cheer up the crowd in
case of a losing game will be the Waccic Sig
ma Nus whose skit stars the most "Innocent"
man on the campus, Preston Hays. Not only
does he sing in a voice that would turn Caruso
cold by degrees, but he also dances to the
rhythm of Johnnie Cox's band.
Aiding the WAAC cause will be Don Albin,
Clifton "Blossom" Bioom, who as a dramatist
is better in activities, and Albert Schatz, Sun
Valley's gift to the women.
For the ATO's Harlem Jam Session, Perry
Fuller, the parson and also a typical Nebraska
cd, has an impressive part. Then there is suave
and dignified Mark Ilargraves who lets his
hair do'vn with a bang.
Don James, mind over line addict, toots his
brains out on the reverse end of a horn plus
some jitterbugging that would do credit to a
Mexican jumping bean gone beserk. In addi
tion he will have Jim VanLandingham to help
keep the party on a high plane!
Wherefore Art Thou ...
Hank Buthraan, the Student Union Romeo,
will spark the Alpha Sigs in their conception

Deadline Ds Bee. 21
. . . Dean Thompson Warns
With a goodly portion of
portion of UN
males being affected by the lower
ing of the draft age bill, Dean T.
J. Thompson, armed service rep
resentative, yesterday reiterated
his ultimatum to students Inter
ested in reserves that the deadline
is Dec. 21. N
The bill which was passed by
Congress and signed by President
Roosevelt Friday, Nov. 13, makes
IS and 19 year old physically able
college students liable for the
draft except those In reserves and
tho.se who are preparing for criti
cal occupations. Such students
must be of junior standing or
completing their sophomore year
and must be of promise.
Mail Questionnaires.
Draft boards throughout the na
tion have been directed to mail
questionnaires to the 18-20 year
old group Immediately. Draft
boards low in men likely will be
drafting boys in this group in
January, 1943, according to the
dean.
Freshmen who desire to enlist
should see Dean Ncls Bcngston,
while upperclassmen must see
Dean Thompson. Students who
are not yet 18 but desire to get in
the KRC when they are 18 are re
minded that their deadline is also
Dec. 21.

Late Registration.
Late registrations will be per

Two other important announce
ments of interest to college stu

be deferred from the draft because
of a critical shortage in that field,
and special procedures will be set
up in other scientific and special
ized fields where shortages de
velop. Other developments yesterday
revealed that local boards had
been instructed to reclassify all
registrants heretofore deferred be
