Friday, December 8, 1944 THE NEBRASKAN Life In Love By Pvt. Ralph P. Murcenharen Life goes on as usual in Love Library; or I might say quieter than usual, since about sixty Air Corps Reservists are on furlough. Even the Pre-Meds have settled down and are to be seen any hour of any day, pouring over some book (comic) or set of notes. It is amazinng how much more en ergy can be expended when Medi cal School, not aid men, is the next task. Their worries center around two questions: "Where are we going?" and "When will we get a furlough?" The only answer we have found to these queries was in a confidential bul letin we read "You'll find out soon enough!" t Thanksgiving day was a grate ful relief from the usual drudgery of school life. Our Thanksgiving dinner was a huge success due not only to the magnificent food, but also to the graciousness of Miss Pat Lahr, in allowing us the use of the ballroom. Present at the dinner were all the officers, non-commissioned of ficers, their wives and civilian employes of the unit. Also pres ent were Lt. Cook's junior officer, "Little Joe," and Sgt. Anderson's newly arrived "Little Sarge." The unit also entertained, as its guests, the wives of the enlisted men. Towne Club Entertains. Saturday night the Towne Club provided the most outstanding bit of news for the unit with their annual fall party. Entertainment was provided by the Towne Club sextet and the Pre-Meds from the library. The Pre-Meds were Pvt. Josephson, Pvt. Neilly, and Pvt. Moller. They dramatized the well known poem, "The Face on the Bar Room Floor." Pvt. Josephson, as the voluptuous, young damsel (the face) was assured of many votes in the election of "Pep Queen" next year. Pvt. Moller played the part of the perennial drunkard as only he can. Pvt. Neilly nar rated in the best W. C. Fields manner. Takeoffs on several radio pro grams were also presented by the trio. Question of the week What AST man tried to line up the ticket buyers at the Lincoln theater in alphabetical order last Saturday night? Cyclones Revive Wrestling Game; Coach Returns AMES, la., Dec. 7.

In many lpaces her act ing held the show together and kept it moving. Dorothy Reilly cast as the daughter, Emma, has freshness and sparkle. She will probably develop into a valuable actress with a little more experience. Both Geoffrey Gass and San- ford Finkelstein as Trooper Bren dle and Jake, respectively, made the most of their parts. While their acting was not exceptional it was adequate. The audience laughingly ap proved "Papa Is All" as amusing and entertaining. Tho it started slowly in the first act, the second and third acts were packed with action and laughs.
