Welcome Back . . .
After some four years of silence, the Cornhusker Coun
tryman will again appear on the campus, heralded with sat
isfaction by both the Ag and Student Publications Hoards,
not to mention the student body itself and faculty.
Publication of the Countryman was discontinued in
1942, along with many other things, for rather obvious
reasons. But with the return to more normal conditions, in
terest in the publication has also returned in full force.
Obtaining the blessing of the powers that be, operations
have gained momentum through the interest of ag college
students, with the result that the first Countryman of 1946
will go to the presses soon.
In time past, the publication has achieved a worthy rep
utation, maintained consistently throughout its years of ex
istence. With its return, we hope for a repeat performance of
that same worthwhile merit, and can feel assured that it
will again be received with the same praise.
It's a satisfying feeling to realize that there is revived
and sincere interest in the Cornhusker Countryman. So we
take this opportunity to wish the publication and its staff
the best of luck and welcome back.

All the flutter over the Military
ball, suspenses concerning the
presentation, corsages, dinners
and the other finery connected
with the biggest event of the
year, leaves more than one coed
slightly on the palpitating side
Biggest worry of the season is
what to do when . . .
Not that it bothers any of the
lucky senior girls who attended
the last blow-out the military de
partment sponsored. But the rest
of the women are a bit perturbed
over minor points of etiquet, or
so their social chairman found out
at house meetings Monday night.
Forthwith, then, the Emily Post
department of the' Daily Nebras
kan is endeavoring to set the lad
ies' minds at rest before they get
wrinkles by such worries.
Q. Are elbow length gloves nec
essary for the Ball?
A. Long gloves are worn for
strictily formal engagements, and
the engraved invitations indicate
the ball is within that category.
Q. What kind of jewelry is per
missable? A. Any costume pieces to com
plete the ensemble are all right,
but sorority pins or wrist watches
are not.
Q On which,, wrist is a wrist
corsagre worn?
A. On the left, so that it may
rest on your escort s shoulder.
' Q. What about an evening bag?
A. Where there are no tables.
the bag may be carried in the
left hand or on the left arm,
while dancing. If the girl is not
carrying a bag, the escort should
volunteer to carry essentials. This
provides an opportunity for him
to retaliate with golf clubs at the
MB ball.
Q. On which shoulder should a
corsage be pinned?
A. Flowers are worn on the
left shoulder until time to dance.
then are moved to the right, so
that they will not be crushed
while dancing. At the waist, they
remain at the right for the same
reason.
Q. What about make-up?
A. Darker colors are generally
worn at night, with accent on
proper blending. Most of all, keep
lipstick off his collar, and pan
cake away from the tux shoulder.
As a final touch, prepare against
all emergencies. If what happened
to Margie happens to you, faint.

'lie 'Gloria Mundi' Featured
On Experimental Theater Bill
BY GAYLORD MARR.
"Gloria Mundi" and "He," both
absorbing studies of human frus
trations and instability, were pre
sented by student actors under
student direction in the fourth
Experimental Theater program of
the semester, Thursday night at
the Temple.
"Gloria Mundi," directed by
Dorothea Duxbury, was a terror-by-suggestion
drama, full of ma
cabre suspense, which mounted to
an unexpected climax that
touched the nerves of virtually
every member of the near-capacity
audience.
Shrewdly cast as inmates of the
insane asylum, each of the play
er's characterizations transmuted
medical case histories into ef
fective theatre.
Lorma Bullock was charming
and attractively poised as Vir
ginia, a schizo personality whose
youthful animation gradually be
came a morbid journey into fear.
Her transition was artfully subtle.
Norm Leger, making his initial
appearance on the Experimental
Theatre stage, was cast in the dif
ficult role of the doctor. His in
terpretation caught the bitter
frustration of a man who, by the
necessity of his profession has
lost his youth and ambitions. Care
ful thought and ability were evi
dent in Leger's characterization.
Gertrude Sloidt, outstanding
among the supporting players,
caught the methodical, near-masculine
bearing of the asylum
nurse.
Plausibly acted with disturb
ing realism were the three in
mates of the institution: Mrs.
Farnsworth, portrayed by Nona
Mercedes James; Miss Dunn,
Gladys Jackson, and Mr. Lloyd,
acted by Jim Welch.
The second of the two plays,
Eugene O'Neill's "He," was di
rected by Dean Graunke.
intensely O'Neillian, "He" is the
study of a man with an obsession.
The tense situation developed in
the play, a culmination of a long
struggle of wills, arises from the
dominating motive in the chief
character, Captain Keeney.
Jack Wenstrand, cast as Keeney,
(Continued from Tage 1.)
repeatedly emphasized the neces
sity of viewing the wholepersonal
ity of the patient, rather than sep
arating mental and physical as
pects. "Explanation of all illness
by merely examining organic
causes is like explaining the mi
gration flight of birds by dissect
ing the wings," he stated.
Medical Test.
Dr. H. M. Cox described the
new Medical Aptitude Test, re
placing one given, in previous
years, which will be given Satur-
aay, January in, under his di
rection. He noted that all stu
dents planning to enler mediral
school next fall should take the
test, and that all those planning
to do so must give him their
names at room 3 Administration
building before December 20. The
test fee is five dollars.

taxi-cab stand will be maintained
throughout the entire evening in
front of the coliseum and campus
police will be on hand to direct

To replace the souvenir saber
before the war, at the ball, a pho
tographic stand will be set up in
the lobby to take full length 5x7
pictures of each couple if they
so desire. Pictures will be sold
for $1 apiece.

ply of tickets still available and

showed the captain as neither in
herently mean nor ruthless, but
rather as a strong man obsessed
with one idea. Wenstrand success
fully caught the mood and man
ner appropriate to the play.
Mary O'Donnell, in the role of
Mrs. Keeney, turned in what was
perhaps the most polished per
formance of the evening. She con
veyed with conviction every shade
of the woman's thinking: Her
mental fatigue, her pathetic nos
talgia, her enforced intimacy with
brutality and suffering, and, fi
nally, the complete collapse of her
tottering reason.
Herb Spence was easily the
most convincing member of the
play's supporting cast, which in
cluded Charles Bergoffen as
Ben; Harold Anderson as the
mate: Milton Surface as Joe, and
Shirley Sabln as the ship's cook.

Garbed In festive robes of holi
day red before a background of
lighted Christmas trees, the Unl
versity Singers Sunday will bring
to the Union ballroom their an
nual program of Christmas carols.
Under the direction of Dr. Arthur
Westbrook, the singers will pre
sent the traditional yulctide songs
from different countries, at 3 and
4:30 p. m. programs.
There will be accounts of the
shepherd's story, lullabies to the
Christ child, adoration of the child
and his mother, descriptions of
the nativity night and proclama
tior of the joy of the Christmas
season. These selections cover a
period of four hundred years from
the 16th century "O Magnum Mys-
terium" by de Victoria to many
20th century compositions includ
ing "The Mystic Cherubim" writ'
ten just this year by Harry liar
ter, a member of University Sing'
ers.
- Separate Groups.
For the first time in the history
of this Union-sponsored carol
concert, the men and women of
the University Singers will offer
separate groups in addition to the
mixed choral work. Directed by
Mr. Foltz, the women will sine
carols from American, English
and Spanish folklore. "I Wonder
As I Wonder," is a carol from the
Appalachian mountain region
from the ballad collection of John
Jacob Niles who sang folk tunes
at a Union convocation several
years ago. The men will sing tra
ditional numbers from France,
Wales and Germany including
Deck the Halls," and "Lo, How
a Rose E'er Blooming."
Adding an instrumental touch
to the program will be a brass
ensemble directed by Robert
Stepp. Playing a mcdly of carols
plus old English and French tunes,
the members include Eugene Stoll,
Marlin Kill ion. Herman Larsen,
Jack Snider, Paul Austin, Carroll
Brown, Robert Jorden and Her
von Snider.
The complete program, for
which admission cards were
