Nebraskan Staff
Big Stories of
This being the lest edition of
the Nebraskan for this semester,
the staff hereby presents a recap
of what it considers the ten big
stories of the year for the uni
versity. Most of the stories, nat
urally enough, broke because of
the war or in connection with the
war effort.
One of the biggest success
stories of the year was the close
of the AUF drive December 12.
The all-campus average dona
tion per person was two dollars
and the WSSF and Rags for Serv
icemen benefited to the tune of
over $2,300.
Number one story for pure stu
dent interest was news of the re
turn of 140 ex-Nebraska ROTC in
October. Remember the picture of
the "Hello" greeting between
Marge Christianson and Paul Wy
kert. Also along the army line
was the unanimous consent of
J..200 UN servicemen to a Stu
dent Union membership plan, and

pus for war work. Neither the
stamp sales nor the war work has
has the co-operation of all the
campus, as follow-up stories dur
ing the semester disclosed.
Number ten story on the list
was the dropping of the word
"daily" from the Nebraska i head.
Not consistent with the tri-weekly
"for the duration" publication of
the paper, post office officials ob

Horace, the ailing husband of Re

has existed for years; Betty

New Faces Featured.
Among the new faces will be
that of Robert Samarick, Don
Cline and Stanley Cook. Leo, who
is weak and unprincipled will be
played by Herbert Spence, and Ad
die will be played by Helen Pat
rick. The plot centers about the pros
perous, despotic Hubbard Family.
The conflict in their lives has been
caused by Ben's ambition to erect
an enormous cotton mill in their
own town. The sum which they are
lacking is to be obtained from
their brother-in-law Horace, who
quietly refuses to commit himself
regarding his share in their busi
ness enterprise. Desperate, Leo and
his father, Oscar, plan for Leo,
who works in the bank, to take
the money from Horace's deposit
box. Complications follow when
Regina attempts to manage both
the personal and financial life of
her family.
