. . . Early
liecause of the early sell-out of all seats for both perform
ances of the opera "Robin Hood." Dr. A. K. Westbrook. iho
conductor, announced a repeat matinee to le given Saturday
afternoon. This announcement was made last night after the
very successful opening in the Temple theater.
Early yesterday morning all seats for both the "Wednes
day and Friday performances were reserved, and more and
more calls were coming in for tickets. In order that the many
people who wished to see the colorful comic opera npuht do
so. Dr. Westhronk wired New York last nisjlit for production
rights for an additional showing.
Departments Cooperate.
Largely responsible for the great success for the colorful
panorama of music, dancing, and
drama were Professor Dwight
Kirsch, and Joe Zimmerman.
Kitsch designed the costumes and
scenery which have drawn lavish
comment. During the past two
weeks he has been busy carrying
out his designs and has painted
most of the three unusual sets
himself.
Joe Zimmerman is the person
who is responsible for the actual
staging of the production. All the
action on the stage proper, and
the dramatization has been worked
out under his guidance. The casts
aivi the stage chorus of 16 have
been rehearsing with him for
some time.
The show is the result of the
efforts of more than 150 stu
dents, including 90 singers and 23
members of the pit orchestra, and
combines the work of the de
partments of music, art, and
speech.

Uni Student
Enters Radio
Prize Debates
Irwin White, University of Ne
braska student, is a candidate for
the Second Series of National In
tercollegiate Radio Prize Debates
soon to be held under the auspices
of the American Economic Foun
dation. According to an announce
ment recently made by Dr. Wil
liam F. Peirce, a chairman of the
board of trustees of the American
Economic Foundation.
Students are certified to take
either the affirmative or negative
side of the debate question
"Should American Youth Support
the Re-establishment After the
War of Competitive Enterprise as
Our Dominant Economic Sys
tern?" They are now submitting
500 word arguments from which
the 16 best affirmative and 16 best
negative arguments will be se
letted by the judges.
Writers of the selected argu
ments will qualify to take part in
eight local radio debates. A first
prize of $50 goes to the best speak
er, and a second prize of $25 goes
to his better opponent, both win
ners will qualify for further com
petition. The four finalists will be
brought to New York City for an
appearance on Sunday, April 18
on "Wake Up, America" program
tinned prosaically for .some minutes.
I)uring this time, he revealed that the criti
cized absences of Stalin and Chiang Kai-Shek
from the recent Casablanca conference of Unit
ed Nations were not to be seen as indications
of their non-cooperation. Stalin is a "personal
dictator" and cannot leave the boundaries of
JJussia, and "Chiang" has his hands too full
to be attending conferences which have noth
ing to do with the Asiatic situation.
Fischer then idcalistically stated that tin
type of leadership that is needed in occupied
countries and at the diplomatic and military
top are those men with democratic principles
who will put these principles to work. At this
John Jay Douglass objected, saying that this
was certainly true, but that realistically this
was a difficult almost impossible task.

Formerly Juniors and Basics.
Heretofore only the juniors in
the advanced course and volun
teers from the basic corps have en
listed in the reserve, leaving the
seniors untouched in the govern
ment's stepped-up military policy
in the university. Because enlist
ments will take considerable time
and work by both the military de
partment and the students, thus
necessitating immediate response
in order that all enlistments be
completed before graduation from
the advanced course.
The commando class normally
meeting at this time each week
will postpone its activities to the
week following, announced Lt.
Robert Adams. Since most of the
members of the class are seniors
in drill, Saturday morning's meet
ing will not be held in order that
the procedure of enlistment may
be given full attention.
