of the piano, will make his second
appearance of the campus Sun
day, January 23, in a recital of
concert and entertainment selec
tions, beginning at 4 p. m.

not the greatest programs ever to
invade the famous New York
Town Hall," wrote Edward H.
Dunkum, music critic for the
Metronome magazine.
Second Recital.

Romeo Joe
Wins Hearts
With Butter
The night echoed with the ring
ing voices of Frank Sinatra hope
fuls; the moon shone down in all
its glory, and the stars glistened
in the sky. It was the night for
losing hearts, but all that was lost
was an insignificant pound of but
ter.
The Sig Eps were singing with
great enthusiasm, and the girls in
the residence halls were leaning on
.their elbows, with greasy faces
and straggly hair hanging out of
the windows. Suddenly, a pound
of golden beauty slipped from its
place on the window sill, and fell
in the midst of the group of sere
nades. Aicer the Sig Eps picked
themselves off the ground, they in
dulged in a short game of football
with the butter. Aftr succeeding
in finally losing it, the fellows
went gaily on their way, leaving
two screaming owners in the
lurch.
Ah, Romeo)
Enter the hero. Joe, the campus
cop, was making his rounds, when
he noticed the frantic females in
the window, and offered to help
them. So Joe searched, and
looked, and poked into every nook
and cranny for what seemed hours
to the girls.
There stood Joe, a smile on his
face, a song in his heart, and a
pound of butier in his arms, play
ing the perfect Romeo beneath
the balcony of the perfect au
dience. If Joe needed a date bad
ly, it is certain he would have had
little trouble securing one then.

..."With fraternity spirit, we
will win."
Turner Tells
Panhel 'Spirit
To Win War
By maintaining a true sorority
and fraternity spirit, we cannot
fail to win the war and peace,
Colonel H. R. Turner told Pan
hellenic representatives at their
January meeting held Monday.
Col. Turner, chairman of the
inter-fraternity advisory council
which was organized last year to
keep fraternities on the Nebraska
campus, outlined the difficulties
in maintaining fraterinities during
war times.
Consolidate Houses
"The advisory council dis
carded the old interfraternity
rules and drew up some new ones
with the purpose of consolidating
several groups into one house,
Col. Turner said. "We auctioned
furniture from some houses and
the money was put into war
bonds."
"We should think seriously to
day. If we conserve on luxuries,
tires, gas, etc., the boys will be
able to come back to fraternities
which have been maintained by
alumni groups and by the frater
nity charters," Col. Turner said.

"A man in the theater is worth
two in the chorus."
Competition between the Uni
versity Theater and Dr. A. E.
Westbrook's chorus, in the race
for civilian men, may bring said
subjects into the limelight in the
near future.
Yes the situation is getting
truly desperate! To enable the
theater to put on the kind of plays
everyone wants to see they must
have civilian men to play the
parts. Although tryouts are to
night in Temple 154 at 7, Berr.e
Enslin, director of the theater,
cannot even choose a play until
he knows the man situation.
With the next play scheduled
for Feb. 16, 17 and 18, tryouts
will be held for two tentative
plays: "Little Foxes," by Lillian
Hellman and "Heart of a City,"
by Leslie Storm. The first play,
requiring six men and four worn'
en, will probably be given if
enough men show up for castings
Otherwise, the second play, re
quiring three men. and 13 women
might take the stage, and theater
members believe there are too
many women "on the campus al
ready to have to go to a play and
just see a lot more.
With 915 civilian men enrolled
in the university, according to the
November 29 census, there should
be enough to go around in both
the chorus and the theater.
