(Continued from page 1.) character is made by Vic Ferris, who was last seen in "Letters to Lucerne," as a sincere, likeable young soldier. Vic plays the part of Judith's novel writing husband who "has a way with the women." Pat King, a new-comer to the University Theater, portrays the teen-age daughter, Sorel Bliss.

British Resentment. Passing on the subject of Amer ican soldiers in Britain, McCon nell expressed the opinion that they were lescnted by the British service man. Main reason for the resentment was due to the super ior pay which the United States soldier receives.

He stated that the British aren't sure of what the United States will do. McConnell felt that the south ern Ireland strife was more senti ments than sentiment. He ex pressed the idea that the bulk of the Irish opinion was pro-British, mainly because of historically close ties and the British wealth.

This same column all agog with its flattery and praise is, however. reportedly written by me (!), and carries my by-line. Obviously, 1 could not have written the column, inasmuch as it carries certain in- ormation which I couldn't have had until after leaving Nebraska. 1 suspect the column was written by the guy who has taken my place, one 1 le.
