Theater
Women Stage Crew
BY JANET MASON.
Desperate calls have gone out
for men in the past semester and
were - apparently answered satis
factorily, but now another des
perate call is echoed and this time
for women. What do you want to
bet that the women won't answer
it because they think they have
too many other things to do than
contributing to keeping: traditions
of UN alive, or because they are
too tired, or just have a perverted
case of hypochondritis.
The University Theater needs
women, and plenty of them, to

Willkie Emphasizes
Cooperation in Talk
Emphasizing the necessity of
the election of a president capable
of working in full accord with
congress, Wendell Willkie, speak
ing at the university coliseum, last
night called upon Nebraska repub
licans to support him as the G.O.P.
presidential nominee in the im
pending state preferential pri
maries. Nearly half an hour late in ap
pearing, Willkie reserved till late
in his speech his direct appeal to
the republicans of Nebraska to
back him in his quest for the re
publican nomination, offering first
a program for the promotion of
better accord between the chief
executive and congress. "The two
are in serious dispute today," Will
kie declared. "There is great need
for the election in 1944 of a presi
dent willing to co-operate with
congress and capable of working
in accord with congress."
Likening the present rift be
tween the chief executive and
congress to the splits with that
body suffered by both Wood row
Wilson and Herbert Hoover dunng
times of crisis, the unsuccessful
G.O.P. presidential nominee of
3940 presented a program to pro
mote better co-operalion between

Spring meeting of the Amer

have the faintest idea of how to
sew, or are willing to learn, are
needed to work on costumes so
the actors themselves will not

to get their own costumes in
shape.
Theater Has Trouble.

the president and congress.
"Regular cabinet conferences.
with the president freely discuss
ing affairs of state with the cab
inet members, would be a great
step forward," said Willkie, em
phasizing his words by tossing
his tousled head ana gesturing
freely.
Regular questioning by congress
of cabinet members was cited by
the perspiring Willkie as another
method of promoting better nar
mony between chief executive and
congress. "This measure would
have eliminated about one-third
of the inept cabinet members of
recent years, because they could
have lasted only a few days under
such questioning," said Willkie,
who spoke largely without the aid
of the coliseum's public address
system.
Appoint Committees.
The appointment of joint senate-
house committees to consider par
ticularly important legislation and
elimination of seniority as the
basis for choosing congressional
committees were further steps
suggested by Willkie.
