THE NEBRASKAN
Council Backs
DandelionDay
With the dandelion situation and
the campus shortage of men, the
Student Council has decided to
hold a dandelion drive. According
to Mary Jo Gish, they have re
solved to organize the students
and hope to hold a general clean
wo day. Several persons when
asked their opinion of the pro
Dosed drive commented:
Pat Lahr: I think it's very worthy!
If the students would do it, they
could combine a good suntan
with a little constructive work.
Alice Abel: I think it's a wonder
ful idea, and we all ought to
give it our full support, and
really make a big thing of it.
K. F. DuTeau: This would be a
wonderful project for the stu
dent body, subject to the chan
cellor's approval. It would be
a great step toward the beauti
fication of the campus. With the
shortage of manpower, it would
be appreciated by all.
Mary Dye: The campus could cer
tainly stand it!
Miss Mabel Lee: The idea is very
good, and the campus would
benefit by it. I also suggest that
the students might do a little
reseeding and planting, too. In
a few years, the campus could
be truly beautiful with the ad-
. dition of a few shrubs, trees and
lots of turf. We could plant
trees (which is certainly in
keeping with the coming of Ar
bor Day) along with the general
clean-up project. As illustrated
by the new Field House, a little
turf grows and adds much to the
beauty of the landscape in just
a few years. i
Dorm President Ruth Ann O'Han-
lon: It would indeed be an excel
lent idea, if the students would
work on it.
Marcia Moekett: It sounds like a
wonderful idea and loads of fun
if everyone would co-operate.
Merrill Shutt: Definitely, it would
..be a good idea, and if it is too
late now, there would still be
time this fall.
INTRAMURALS
Favored by good weather, the
intramural softball schedule con
tinued last week when the Phi
Gams came from behind to whip
the Pioneer Co-op, 7-5; the Zips
beat the Theta Xi team by the
score of 12-3. On Thursday the
Betas and the ATOs played a 2-2
tie, the time rule keeping them
tied. The Cornhusker Co-op took
the measure of the Sig Ep ten by
the score of 3-0.
The intramural athletic director
announced the following games
for this week:
Monday, April 23:
1. Sig: Chi vs. Ag College.
2. Zips vs Phi Gams.
Wednesday, April 25:
1. Sigma Nu s. Pioneer Co-op.
2. ATO vs. Cornhusker Co-op.
All games must start by five
o'clock and all teams should be
ready to play at that time. All
games will last five innings, or in
the event that the games are not
finished by 5:30, the score will re
ert to the last complete inning.
The director requests that all
teams be prompt so that the games
can be run off as scheduled.
Aikane Sponsors
Friendship Picnic
At Pioneer Park
Aikane, inter-racial friendship
club on the campus, is sponsoring
a picnic next Saturday, April 28,
at Pioneer park at 2 p. m., accord
ing to Barbara Griswold, leader
The program for the afternoon
and evening will include games
and other recreation, a picnic
lunch, discussion, entertainment
and vespers.
Tickets, which may be pur
chased from any Aikane member
or at Ellen Smith hall, are 35
cents. Tickets must be purchased
by Thursday evening.
Persons who wish to attend the
picnic will meet either in the
Union lobby at 1:15 Saturday or
at the bus stop at the Post Office,
to take the South 10th bus, which
runs at 1:40.
All
accentuates areas of action on the
stage.
m Murderous Intent?
Lighting crews just love to drop
heavy objects down on the ac
tors, two stories beneath. Jeff
Gass forever loosed wrenches,
hammers and light, bulbs from the
lighting bridge in "The Skin of
Our Teeth,"; in Moor Born Otis
Evans lets loose sockets and light
bulbs that plummet like stones to
smash on the stage below.
Temple beavers have also built
a rain machine. The contraption
is a barrel which revolves, stir
ring up dried navy beans inside
and sounds like pelting rain as
the beans roll and tumble over
the wire sides of the barrel. The
theater folk also built a wind ma
chine, and recorded the sounds
themselves. Sound-effects man
Avrum Bondarin plays them on
two victrolas off-stage. Peggy
Kirshman cut records of herself
at the ancient organ, with weird,
macabre music to ring down the
curtain on Part III.
Jean Kinney is property chief,
and has rented a grandfather
clock vintage 1776; a "beautiful
love seat from Townsends,"; and a
secretary "solid walnut and very
old." Miss Kinnie has made an
especial trip to the art depart
ment "for a 19th century broom
and dustpan." The beautiful sil
ver tea service is not the Brontes,
but comes thru the courtesy of
Margaret Hunter's home in Has
tings.
Art, Too!
In his "extensive research" on
interiors of 1850, Duke Ganzel
found that a portrait of the three
Brontes, painted by their brother,
Branwell, hung over the fireplace.
So the Brontes Lucy Ann Hape
man, Gloria Beaumont and Mar
garet Hunter caught a trolley
out to the home of Peggy Kirsh-
man's for a "sitting."' Mrs. Kirsh-
. i .
man, no novice wun a uiusn, is
painting the three girls' faces into
costumes of 1850.
It's quite a play, this Moor
Born, and it opens Thursday. Cur
tain's at 8.

this keeps up." Otis Evans, me
